The horses were all in the city, and there was nowhere to get mounts for the dark, but fortunately they fled from Sardenburg anyway in order to hide themselves and not take the main road, so it didn't matter if they had mounts or not. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Dietepauli led Rhodes south, and the empire planned to assassinate King Antelli, and it was likely that there would be corresponding military actions...... Although there is no source of information, if Midland sends troops, there is always a better hope of escaping in the direction of the Empire.

Rhodes was packaged as a woman again, and he was young and handsome, as long as he slightly retouched his eyebrows, covered his Adam's apple, and covered his hair, he could become a young girl in seconds...... The only fly in the ointment is that he is slightly taller, fortunately, Ciri and Pauli, who are in the same company, are not short, and Grom is even taller and stronger, and the four of them are not obtrusive.

But Dieter's thinking was too simple, or he couldn't solve it - it wasn't just monster hunters who knew how to rely on the noses of their animal companions, the pursuers in the city dispatched hounds after losing their targets, and the tunnels used by Rhodes and the others to get out of the city were quickly exposed. A caravan from Midland actually mastered a tunnel that could cross the walls of Sardenburg, and now the yellow mud fell into the crotch of his pants, and it was either or.

The people left behind by the Dieter caravan have all been arrested, they are just ordinary chamber of commerce employees who know nothing, and the group that escaped has instantly become the same high-level suspects as the assassins, and the news that they have left the city has reached the ears of the officials at all levels in charge of the pursuit, and soon, the curfew and the temporary rule of no entry and exit are replaced by another order, the gates of Sardenburg are wide open, and a large number of pursuers pour out of the nest, led by the hounds, into the night.

The arrangement of imitating Rhodes and Ciri and carrying weapons on their backs in an attempt to lure away their pursuers worked but did not do much: this was the capital of the kingdom, where the Anteli population was most densely populated by troops. With enough men and hounds to wait for the arrangement, under the command of the Bol Swordmaster, the pursuers divided into several teams and chased in all directions where the hounds smelled.

......

The crowd followed the path and walked south at the most efficient pace of their physical strength. But before dawn, Rhodes heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance behind him, there were still a few hours before sunrise, so many riders could not have passed by by by coincidence, Grom's face sank, knowing that the conflict was still inevitable after all: "If you can't outrun the horse, go into the woods, drill deep, don't stop!"

Thrilling and thrilling trips were what Rhodes wanted, but never in the form of being hunted down as criminals...... As the sound of the horses' hooves drew nearer, and the barking of dogs became clearer, the boy followed Grom into the woods and walked deeper, guessing that he must have looked extremely embarrassed at this time.

The pursuers also dismounted and pursued on foot, but the hounds had already caught up with the fugitives, and after Grom had slashed the first two of them with a sword, these "good companions of mankind" had learned to behave. They no longer rushed at the crowd to attack, but only whirled around the four of them from a distance, roaring and directing their masters to their targets.

"If this can't go on, I'll stay and stop the pursuers. "Pauli, take Rhodes to the nearest ferry as soon as possible, steal or grab a small boat, and go down the river a little south before disembarking, to make sure you get out of the dogs." ”

Pauli shook his head: "Stop the pursuers? What are you kidding, I know you are strong, but behind us is an army." A few of us have good stamina and can continue to run. ”

"It's not a primeval jungle, it's just a forest, it has an end. We may not be caught up in the woods, but if they can't catch up with us, they will send men to ride in front of us and block the whole woods, and then what will we do?"

Pauli reluctantly, he admits that what Grom said is entirely possible, and that it is almost impossible to escape from the layers of blockade when it has already been discovered.

"No, let's go together!"

"That's enough!" the Great Swordsman raised his voice, "I'm alone, and I still have a chance to catch up with you if I delay a little to attract the pursuers or kill all the hounds that can manage to track you behind, but the four of us together can't escape at all." Ciri, if I fail, you will still be caught up in the end, and you must try to take Rhodes away, and never let him fall into the hands of the pursuers. ”

"Remembered. ”

"I can take care of myself by going in this direction. Grom patted Rhodes on the back, drew his sword and turned to meet the hounds that had been hanging behind him.

"Grom, be careful. Rod instructed uneasily, and was pulled on by Ciri.

......

Using the burst of fighting energy to accelerate instantly, Grom killed two more hounds that were too close, and the rest scattered, staring at the Great Sword Master from a distance of a few hundred meters. With several similar air explosions, a middle-aged man of similar stature to him chased after him alone, fell more than ten meters in front of Grom, and confronted him.

Grom was shocked, the other party's landing gesture revealed a lot of information, and the person who came was not inferior to his top powerhouse. This alone is difficult to deal with, and the original plan to contain the pursuers may be difficult to achieve.

"Stay behind as a hero?" said the pursuer in a playful tone, but his tone could not hide his anger, "Isn't it whimsical that I want to run away when I assassinate the king in the case of Sardenburg?"

"Your Excellency, is it the Bol Sword Saint?" The fighting energy exuded by the other party's body was actually stronger than his own, and there were not many such strong people in Quan Antaili, Grom thought for a moment and guessed the identity of the other party.

"Correct, now it's my turn to ask if there are any other accomplices in the city, if Kylross sent you, and what he wants to do after assassinating Elite. Bol Sword Saint's face was cold, and his eyes showed a fierce light: "Is Midland ready for war, when and where will it start?"

"I don't know. Grom explained in a calm tone, "We didn't kill the king. ”

The strength of the Great Swordsmen who have been rated in different periods, regions, and even different groups may be uneven or even vastly different from each other. But the Juggernaut is different, there can be no parallel goods in this recognized strongest battle group, and the slightly weaker Juggernaut has already been defeated by the excellent high-level swordsman and taken away the title, and standing in front of Grom at this moment is the long-famous Antaili First Swordsman.

Rod's mother commented on Grom: "Even if you pull out all the fighters in the world to make a ranking, he is properly in the top 100." His strength far surpassed that of ordinary high-level swordsmen, but he had to admit that this guy in front of him, whether it was his reputation or real strength, was definitely among the dozens that he couldn't deal with.

Even if the large number of men who were about to arrive behind the other side did not intervene, Grom's chances of victory were less than half, and he weighed the situation a little and decided to tell the truth if the other party did not collude with the man who killed Rod...... Things may be turning around.

The chaser snorted coldly: "Oh? you didn't do it, so why did you run." ”

"Someone is trying to kill someone I'm protecting, and if you've been to the scene to investigate, you'll have heard that the kid you're chasing at the moment, suspected of being an assassin's colleague, was poisoned in wine at the dinner party. Grom said unhurriedly, "Luckily, he drank it and threw it up on the spot...... The one who can poison the wine must be a court insider, and I can't let him be arrested and imprisoned for slaughter without knowing whether that guy is a high-ranking Antelli. ”

"Well, I heard. Pol Sword Saint smiled contemptuously: "I don't know what kind of big man you are protecting?"

"Duke Foster, son of the Great Swordsman of Faqin. ”

......

Pol Swordmaster chuckled in his heart, a contemptuous smile fixed on his face, and he instantly realized that he was caught in a huge conspiracy.
