Chapter 355: His Highness the Second Pathfinder

Seeing that the knights on the opposite side were getting closer and closer, Reddy suddenly thought of a question, where did the men who were chasing him come from? Even the Elder Swordsman of Sendy was chasing on foot on two legs, so how could these knights travel in the swamp on horseback, unless they were coming from the other direction......

Sure enough, several knights quickly arrived in front of Reddy and reined in their horses: "Who are you?

Reddy's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw that the knights in front of him had the tricolor griffin badge of the Kingdom of Antinac pinned to their chests, which was the symbol of the royal family, and these knights turned out to be the knights of the royal family, the people of the Second Highness......

Although Lorist and His Second Highness are at odds with each other, after all, the Norton family is now a noble family in the Kingdom of Antinac, and Lorist is now the Grand Duke of the Northland of the Kingdom of Antinac. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Reddy let out a sigh of relief, sat down on the snow with weak feet, and took out a silver angry bear badge from his arms: "I am a member of the Grand Duke of the Northlands, a knight of the Norton family, and the soldiers of the Duchy of Sabaji and the Duchy of Handra are chasing me. Please help me out of danger......"

At this time, the pursuers also got closer, and saw that there were a few knights on Reddy's side, and nearly a hundred soldiers, and the pursuing principality soldiers did not rush over, but gathered together to summon their companions, and the sharp whistles and low horns kept echoing in the open field.

The knight on the horse had seen the outfit of the soldiers who were chasing Reddy, and it was clear that Reddy wasn't lying. One of the knights laughed: "Great, we were bored when we came to explore the way, but I didn't expect these soldiers of the principality to send them to the door." Good job, brother, I'll send them all away for you. ”

With a sound of "Ride!", the bronze spurs on the heel of the riding boots slammed into the belly of the mount, and the war horse flew out with a roar, heading straight for the soldiers who had gathered together. Not to be outdone, several knights next to him rode their horses to follow. The five or six horsemen swept through the snow-covered fields like a violent wind, splashing countless fine pieces of ice and snow.

"Hey, come back, the enemy's army hasn't arrived yet, and there are still three great swordsmen behind......" Reddy hissed and shouted, but his voice couldn't be heard by the blood-thirsty knights in the rumbling hooves, and he saw that the six royal knights just rushed into the dozens of Duchy soldiers gathered together, slashing and killing......

Sixty or seventy infantry and six knights met in a narrow way, and it was the knight who charged first, and before the infantry was ready to form a formation to resist, the six knights had already rushed into the infantry, which was a nightmare for the infantry. In the blink of an eye, there were already more than twenty corpses of infantry on the ground, and the rest of the infantry collapsed, scrambling to flee for their lives. At this time, what they wanted was not to escape the pursuit of the knight with the war horse, but to outrun their comrades-in-arms and let them block the knights first, so that they could escape.

Reddy stood up and stomped his feet in a hurry, waving the six knights to come back quickly, but the knights were so happy that they ignored Reddy, and perhaps took his beckoning as a cheer of celebration......

A figure in a black cloak suddenly cut into front of a knight's warhorse, and the knight didn't care, the riding spear in his hand slashed through an arc and pierced the figure's chest, in his consciousness, those little soldiers couldn't avoid his spear, and they were about to be strung on the riding spear. But a sword light flashed, and the knight only felt that the cavalry spear in his hand was half lighter, and then the neck of the mount under him fell, and blood gushed out from the headless neck, splashing the knight's head and face. In the midst of the blood, the knight saw another light, and then he felt himself flying, higher and higher, darker and darker......

The first knight was killed and soon noticed by the remaining five knights, who roared and turned their horses' heads to charge at the figure in the black cloak, but the figure was extremely flexible, and in the flash of the sword, one knight was cut in two at the waist, and the other knight fell off his horse because the front hooves of his mount were chopped, and he was quickly wiped by the sword light on his neck.

The knight who charged first came back to his senses: "Hurry up, great swordsman......"

The remaining three knights fled, and the first knight did not forget to grab the reins of his master's decapitated mount and run back. The black-cloaked swordsman didn't chase after him, and he struggled to deal with the charge of the five knights, who stood still even when the three knights were back to Reddy.

The first knight returned to where Reddy was standing and turned his head to see that the great swordsman had not caught up, and breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Reddy with a calm face: "What did you do, they actually sent the great swordsman to chase you......"

Reddy smiled bitterly: "Didn't you hear me call you back like that? ”

The three knights were stunned: "Really?"

"Really, let's go......," Reddy said, "The one who was still the Great Swordsman of the Principality of Sabaji just now, and there are two more powerful ones behind him." ”

"You also get on the horse, Your Majesty is behind, and he also has a great sword master by his side. It's all right to meet your majesty. The first knight made a decision. But the most painful thing was the group of soldiers who were following the six knights to explore the path, they had just run over out of breath, only to turn around and flee for their lives.

"Give me something to eat,......," Reddy said. He sat on the horse and shivered, he was too little clothed, and he didn't feel cold when he ran, but when he rode on the horse, the wind blew it like a knife.

One of the knights next to him threw him a jug filled with spirits. After a few mouthfuls of Radidy finally felt warm on his body: "Thank you, where is Your Majesty?"

"It's just ahead, and you can see it in just over half an hour. We set up a campsite on the mound. The knight replied.

"Then how many great swordsmen are there around Your Majesty, and how many levels?"

"One, the Great Swordsman of Munster, first-class. But we also have two Golden Knights, and we also bring a brigade with more than a thousand people......"

"No, Your Majesty also has to transfer immediately, the people who are chasing me are three great sword masters, and there are many Duchy soldiers, it is estimated that there are about one or two thousand. You can't stop them if they come after them. Reddy said sincerely.

"Brother, I'm curious, what did you do to make them work so hard to hunt you down, three great sword masters, one or two thousand soldiers, my God, the most vicious criminals in the former empire didn't have this treatment like you......" The first knight said: "Forget it, don't say it if you don't want to, I don't want to listen to you blow it, you better tell our majesty, he will definitely be very interested." As for whether it will be withdrawn, it depends on His Majesty's decision. ”

"Why are you here this winter? By the way, you're talking about pathfinding?" Reddy remembered the knights' complaints. It soon became clear that His Royal Highness had come here to find a way to bypass the fortress of the castle on the island in the middle of the lake, and he also wanted to surprise the four principalities in the middle of the country......

It's no wonder that these knights don't care that there are three great swordsmen behind them chasing and killing, they are interested in the fact that since they can escape here, they must know the way through the swampy area of Egret Lake, and bring themselves to the Second Highness, so they will be exempted from the task of braving the cold and hard exploration of the way in the swampy area.

It's a pity that Reddy doesn't know the road in the swamp area of Egret Lake, and it can be said that he is blessed and lucky to get to this point, and more dangers are one by his cleverness and flexibility, and the other is that he dares to take risks at the moment of life and death.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the camp, the second highness recognized Reddy at a glance: "Aren't you Reddy?

Reddy was also polite, and made a knightly salute: "Your Majesty, I need to take a shower and change my clothes, and then have a hot meal before I can tell you what happened to me along the way......"

After taking a shower and changing into a warm leather coat, Reddy was taken to the big tent where His Royal Highness was located. The Second Highness pointed to the food on the table and said, "You can tell me while eating, my knight told me that you said that there are three great swordsmen chasing you." I'm curious what the hell you've done?"

Reddy grabbed a large piece of barbecue and devoured it, and poured a large glass of fruit wine: "Your Majesty, I traveled to the four central countries, and I accidentally broke the envoy sent by the Grand Duke of Fisabrun to form an alliance with the four central principalities, and I killed the envoy, who was the nephew of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, so they have been chasing and killing me until now, and it has been nearly two months......"

"It's been two months?" The Second Highness was stunned: "No, if this happened two months ago, then my spies should have learned about some movements, but none of them told me......"

Reddy continued to stuff food into his mouth: "Your Majesty, I didn't lie to you, maybe the Duchy of Handla and the Duchy of Sabaji both concealed the killing of the messenger, but you can ask your spies to inquire if these two principalities issued a wanted pursuit warrant two months ago, and the person on it is me." ”

"Well, you killed the messengers, they were angry and refused to let you go, and after chasing you for so long, they must have used your head to give an account to the Fisabrun family. Now you're safe here. The Great Swordsmen of the Principality of Sabaji and the Principality of Handra are not yet in my eyes. His Royal Highness said very boldly: "But Reddy, I'm interested to know how you got through the Egret Lake swamp, and I want you to tell me the path you passed......"

Reddy shook his head: "Your Majesty, it's useless, you can't lead the army through the Egret Lake swamp area to surprise the four principalities in the middle of the country. It took me a month to run from the Duchy of Handla to the Duchy of Sabaji, and then into the Egret Lake swamps. Then it took more than twenty days to get here. I'm not familiar with the environment here, I just ran in the direction of Egret Lake, and if there was a swamp in front of me, I went around, and if I couldn't get around, I tried to cross it, and most of them were lucky and didn't have an accident......

Just like the Duchy soldiers and the three great swordsmen who chased me, they were led by indigenous hunters who lived in the swamps of Egret Lake, and brought a lot of hunting dogs, so I couldn't get rid of their tracking. They had been all on foot, with no pack horses or mounts, suggesting that the Egret Lake swamp was impassable for cavalry. Your Majesty, take the light infantry through the swamp to surprise the four principalities in the middle, that is not an adventure, but to send ...... to death"

Reddy is right, the provinces of the four principalities in the middle are not like the former Ridlija royal city of the kingdom of Redris, as long as they cross the Yunduan Mountain Range and the Great Snow Mountain, they can reach the royal city, which is only more than eighty miles away, and they can be reached on foot in one night, and they have a solid defensive base after the surprise attack. Here, even if the Second Highness brought tens of thousands of infantry through the Bailu Lake swamp area, there was no big town worth conquering, but his whereabouts were exposed, and the four central principalities gathered cavalry for a general battle, and those tens of thousands of infantry could not resist the impact of the knights at all......

"Then it will not work for a while, for example, it is winter now, and the swamp will be frozen hard in a few months, can you pass through the cavalry of the brigade and the vehicles that transport logistics baggage?"

Reddy smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you shouldn't ask me this question, I don't know anything." But I'd advise you to check out the hunters who live in the marshes of Egret Lake, and they might know the answer. ”

"Uh...... What about this......" His Royal Highness hesitated for a long time before he said embarrassedly, there were no aborigines to be found in the Bailu Lake swamp area near the Andinac Kingdom, and there was nowhere to inquire if he wanted to. That's why he sent his knights and soldiers to explore the way.

"By the way, didn't you say that the soldiers of the principality who pursued you were led by indigenous hunters who lived in the swamps of Egret Lake, and they also brought hunting dogs, or I would have sent someone to catch some and ask them. His Royal Highness remembered what Reddy had just said and thought it was a good idea.

Reddy let out a long sigh, "Your Majesty, I think you should take care of your own safety first. It is best to retreat immediately. The great swordsmen of the Principality of Sabaji and the Principality of Handra are nothing remarkable, and even I can easily make a hundred moves under their hands one-on-one. But the Grand Duke of Fesabrun sent his old concubine, and the Grand Swordsman of Xiandi also came. This old woman is a little weird, she was a second-level great sword master a few years ago. But I couldn't take a single trick in front of her......

Your Majesty, you are the king of a kingdom, and you are responsible for the rise and fall of the kingdom. Now that you've gone into danger with only a thousand men, I'm afraid that the old woman will target you when she finds you here. To put it mildly, there are more than a thousand people here who can't stop the surprise attack of the three great sword masters. If you are in any danger, the kingdom will be finished......"

The figure in the big tent flashed, and there was an old man with a serious face. Reddy wasn't surprised, this should be the first-level great swordsman named Munster who was guarding the side of the Second Highness. When he entered the big tent just now, he felt that in addition to the Second Highness, there was a very slight breathing sound in the big tent.

The Munster Great Swordsman stared at Reddy dumbfounded, looking at Reddy inexplicably. After a while, the old man spoke: "You said that you fought with the Great Sword Master of Xianti and didn't catch a move?"

Reddy nodded.

The old man was furious: "Nonsense, if you can't take a move, then you will already be dead, how can you escape from her!"

Reddy stripped off his shirt: "I'm talking nonsense, old man, you open your eyes and see clearly, your chest, shoulders, and thighs are all left for me by the old woman who took a picture, and then I jumped into the river and ran away......"

The Munster Great Swordsman carefully looked at the three scars on Reddy's body, and finally sighed, turned to the Second Highness and said, "Your Majesty, let's evacuate first." If the Great Sword Master of Xiandi comes, I am not sure that I can protect His Majesty's safety......"

The Second Highness asked curiously: "Great Swordsman Munster, aren't you about to be promoted to the second level?

The old man nodded: "Your Majesty, I am only now preparing to be promoted to the second level, and the Immortal Great Sword Master was already a second level Great Sword Master twenty years ago. From these three scars on this knight's body, I can see that the swordsmanship of the great swordsman of Xiandi has improved again, and to be honest, I am afraid that I will not be able to stop her ten moves. For the sake of Your Majesty's safety, it is best for Your Majesty to return to the camp first......"

As he spoke, a whimpering alarm horn sounded outside the tent, indicating that the enemy had been discovered...... (To be continued.) )
