Chapter 13: Fueling the Flames
Just when the atmosphere in the small canyon entered an unprecedented tense moment, a cavalryman dressed in the special armor of the Lyme family on the other side was riding a horse from outside the city with a bloody stain and an unusually embarrassed horse, galloping towards Lyme City.

The soldier guarding the gate wanted to stop it, but the cavalryman on the horse seemed to be in a hurry, and with a wave of his horsewhip, he pulled one of the soldiers who stepped forward directly, and without slowing down, he quickly rushed towards the manor of the Count of Lyme.
The soldier who had been whipped was full of rage, but he had just recognized the coat of arms of the Lyme family, and he had waited until he was about to disappear around the corner of the street before he dared to complain.
"Don't complain, you dare to stop the cavalry of the Lyme family, you really deserve it. But looking at his embarrassed appearance, nothing will happen, right?" the other soldier, a little older, laughed at his companion before talking to himself.
"It's very likely that we didn't just see the Earl leave the city some time ago, and something happened so soon?" the beaten soldier covered his sore spots, also looking suspicious.
While the two soldiers were discussing, the cavalryman of the Count of Lyme's family was galloping through the streets on fast horses.
Fortunately, the residents of Lyme City have long been accustomed to these cavalry who do not follow the rules, and they have avoided one by one in advance, so that nothing dangerous happened.
The cavalry galloped all the way and soon came to the Count of Lyme's estate.
As soon as the two soldiers guarding the gate of the manor saw each other's outfits, they hurriedly stepped forward to help.
The cavalryman, not knowing whether he was wounded or exhausted, rolled down to the ground almost as soon as he stopped his horse, but was caught by two soldiers.
"Quick...... Inform the captain, Earl...... Something happened to the Earl. As soon as the cavalryman finished speaking, he tilted his head and fainted.
Although the cavalryman fainted quickly, the two soldiers guarding the gate still heard what he said clearly, and their faces turned pale one by one.
"You look at him, I'll go inform the captain. One of the more clever ones reacted immediately, and ran towards the manor as he spoke.
After a while, a man hurried outside, looking at the cavalry who was still in a coma, his face extremely ugly.
After a moment of contemplation, the man directly ordered: "You go and gather your men quickly, and meet me at the city gate." ”
"What about you, my lord?" asked a man who was not very sensible at once.
The man glared at him fiercely: "I'll go find the city guards!"
With that, the man mounted the cavalryman's horse and galloped quickly towards the garrison of the city guards.
The family of Count Lyme has ruled Lyme City for many years, and in addition to Sisko and the guards of his own estate, he naturally has his own men in the city guards.
It's just that the city guards are protecting the safety of the city after all, and under normal circumstances, they will never be dispatched easily.
It's like Count Cavin, who didn't gather the city guards for defense last time to attack Casio.
And this is also the reason why Casio didn't take advantage of the victory to chase and go all the way to O'Heights City. Casio's current forces in Greenwater are more than self-sufficient and not enough to attack.
The remaining two soldiers looked at each other, then at the unconscious cavalry on the ground, and decided to take the cavalry to the manor for a rest.
When the two soldiers had settled the cavalry, they began to be in the manor, according to the captain's instructions, to inform the others to begin the assembly and assembly.
Just when the entire manor was a little flustered because of this sudden incident, the unconscious cavalryman suddenly opened his eyes at this moment.
A nimble turner from the bed, the cavalryman listened intently for a moment of movement outside the door before taking off his armor and sneaking out of the house.
The man seemed to be familiar with the Earl of Lyme's estate, and after a short time, he avoided the rest of the party and went to the house where Agaret was under house arrest.
Looking at the guards guarding the door, this person thought about it, stood up straight, and walked towards the door in a hurry.
"Stop!" a man stopped him warily.
"Something has happened to the Earl, and the captain has asked me to inform you so that you can gather quickly. The man was not flustered, and said with a deliberately pretended anxiety on his face.
The two guards guarding the door looked at each other, obviously not convinced: "Who are you? ”
"I am a cavalryman under the command of Lord Earl, and this is the news I brought. You hurry up, we need as many people as possible, and it's over if it's too late. ”
"But ......"
"But, now that the Earl is in danger, what else do you have to do?"
This scolding was obviously more important than any explanation, and the two people guarding the door were a little puzzled as to why they seemed to be gathering outside.
At this time, after this person said this, although he still had some doubts in his heart, he also knew that now was not the time to delve in, so he hurriedly ran downstairs and prepared to gather.
The two had just run a few steps when one suddenly turned around and asked, "You're not coming with us?"
When he said this, there was a hint of doubt on his face.
"I'm going to inform the others, are you afraid of death?" the man said, and couldn't help but shout angrily.
These words immediately silenced the two guards and obediently gathered outside the house.
Seeing that the two of them were gone, and after making sure that there was no one around, the man shook his head and directly raised his foot and kicked the door open.
Count Leme had an agreement with Casio that even if Agaret was placed under house arrest, it would naturally be impossible to use the prison gate. It's just restricting their movements, and keeping people on guard outside the door at all times.
Of course, if Agaret and them make any changes, these guards will naturally not be polite.
After kicking the door open, the man had just entered the house when he saw Agaret and the others looking at him.
Agaret looked at the man and quipped, "Vanna, I don't think your usual shyness is really you." ”
Obviously, Agaret had seen everything that had just happened outside the house.
When Vanna heard this, he smiled, but the smile made Agaret feel a little creepy.
"Alright, don't delay, let's go and meet His Royal Highness the Prince. "Marcus is the oldest of all the people in the room, and he is the most reliable.
Everyone nodded, and without chatting, they went out of the house, and after getting their weapons, they went to join Casio.
In terms of Agaret and their strength, they can naturally break through. But if they do, it is estimated that they will be able to escape from Count Lyme's manor, but they will definitely not be able to escape from Lyme City.
After all, there are still city guards in Lime City.
After Vanner's arrival, all the people who could be mobilized by the city guards quickly gathered and rushed towards the small valley where Casio and the others were located with the guards of the manor.
While these people were moving, some nobles who were hostile to Count Lyme, but did not go to the canyon for various reasons, also learned about the situation.
Hearing that it was because Count Lyme was in danger that the city guards were dispatched, these nobles naturally couldn't sit still, so they gathered all the horses they could use and followed those city guards.
The struggle within Lyme City is rapidly advancing in an irreparable direction under Casio's deliberate pushing!
