The third-level knight, who was hit by Donner's magic gun and fell off his horse, did not die on the spot, he was seriously injured, and because he refused to answer any questions, he was finally killed by Sarah's sword.

Although the two new team members were beyond imagination and killed the entire elite team of the enemy in one fell swoop, Sarah was still not happy. Because the operation actually yielded nothing.

There was no food on the cart at the bottom of the mountain. The sack that looked like it was full was just stuffed with rags and paper.

Donner saw the contents of the sack, and didn't know what to remember, so he silently carried two bags, tied them to his horse, thought about it, and immediately tied two more bags to Wesley.

Sarah didn't know what he was going to do and didn't have the heart to ask.

Seeing Sarah's depressed appearance, Donner secretly guessed that the food reserves in the village might be even more tight than he thought.

Back in the village, Sarah shook her head helplessly at the people who had come out to greet her, the old men and women still enthusiastic, but Donner keenly captured the apprehension on their faces that they were trying to hide.

"The woman ran away!" shouted Wesley as he ran out of a farmhouse, "I checked before I left, and it was well tied." ”

"The captive, has anyone seen it?" asked Sarah, uneasy.

"Shirley...... Shirley said...... "A little girl of eight or nine years old said hesitantly.

"Katie!Shirley, what's wrong with her?!," the old woman beside the girl asked anxiously, grabbing her.

The girl burst into tears, and no matter how much the old woman asked her, she said no more.

Sarah walked over and squatted in front of the little girl, gently stroked the girl's hair with her palm, and whispered, "Katie, it's okay, you tell us that we can go and save Shirley, right?"

The girl finally held back her crying and said intermittently, "Shirley said...... Said she was going to beg ...... Beg that big sister to take her ...... Her mom and dad, back ......"

"My poor Shirley......" the old woman suddenly wailed, and then fainted.

"Let's hide, let's split up and look for ......," said Sarah, who had already jumped on his horse.

"Don't look for it......," a strange woman's voice came from a distance, "I'm here." ”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and Corley was walking down a hillside, holding the girl she had spoken to before, Shirley.

"What are you going to do?!let go of that girl!" Wesley shouted.

When Shirley saw the old woman lying on the ground, she immediately ran and rushed over, calling for her grandmother. Clay didn't stop her.

"Shirley took me to the mountains, and she said she could see her ......"

She seemed to have cleaned up her face and was no longer as dirty as she had been when she was tied to the car. The tone of his voice has also become very unfamiliar, and he has lost the courage he had when he commanded the army.

Donner pointed a gun at her and asked coldly, "Why don't you run away?"

Corey walked towards the crowd, not paying any attention to Donner's gun, and the expression on her face was surprisingly calm.

"My war is over...... If I could, I would like to stay and protect them. ”

"Why should we trust you?" exclaimed Wesley.

"I could have escaped. Ke Lei replied very directly.

"What if you have other plans?" asked Donner.

"You're away for a little time that will allow me to gather soldiers to besiege you. Ke Lei replied quickly, without thinking, and her face was expressionless.

Seeing that the two sides were arguing, Sarah impatiently asked Ke Lei, "Hey, you're a knight, right?"

Ke Lei nodded, and the fighting spirit on her body flashed, even at this moment, it was enough for Sarah to see that she was at least a second-level knight.

"Then swear by the honor and dignity of a knight. Sarah said.

Corey immediately did as she was told, and Sarah waved her hand in a welcoming gesture.

Donner thinks that Sarah's approach is a bit child's play, and although what Clay said before makes sense, he still decides to be careful with Clay. Wesley, on the other hand, put distrust straight on his face.

After dinner, Donner, Wesley, and the Blue Knights discuss their next steps, but Clay dodges them with interest.

This time, Sarah told Donner frankly that the food in the village would last for three days at most, and if it was not replenished within three days, the consequences would be self-evident. With so many people, it is impossible for them all to survive by eating voles.

It is obviously not safe to pin your hopes on the proven logistics line.

The Thorn Empire has already suffered four losses in a row, and most of them will completely abandon this supply line and divert it elsewhere.

After losing an elite squad of knights here, they will surely retaliate even more violently. At this time, if you rush to attack, what you have to face is not as simple as a knight squad.

Under this premise, everyone discussed and decided on an astonishing plan: to attack the enemy's stronghold.

Elbay City, the second largest city in Greenland province, is just 120 kilometres to the west.

Shortly after the start of the war, Pidero used to lurk there. According to him, the enemy had an army of several hundred people in the city of Elbay. In addition to ordinary soldiers, that army only has a knight squad and two magicians, and the actual combat power will not be much stronger than the knight squad ambushed today.

Elbay City is an important transportation hub in the western part of the Empire, and it is likely to be used as a staging point for logistical supplies, and at the very least, there will be enough food for that army of several hundred men.

Now, the Thorn Empire will definitely use the main forces on the logistics line to escort along the way, and it is absolutely impossible to imagine that anyone will dare to sneak attack the stronghold.

Once the target is determined, we only have to wait for the next day to go to the field to investigate, and then formulate a detailed sneak attack plan.

At this time, Donner suddenly spoke.

"Wait a minute. I have one more thing that I need your help with. I've been worried that there is an important piece of information that may not have been sent back yet. ”

"You want us to help you deliver the message?" Sarah asked, puzzled, "How is this possible, the enemy army is there, how can we get by?"

"There may be a way, we can give it a try. Donner opened the sack he had dragged back aside, poured it on the table, and continued, "But we need to mobilize everyone to help and find some materials...... I saw a blacksmith shop in the village......"

......

Two hours later, Donner and Wesley rode east with the Blue Knights.

Under the starlight, the horse team avoided the main road and chose a desolate place, and it took more than two hours before they came to the banks of the Ava River.

"Can it really work?" said Sarah, uneasy, as she watched Donner hold up the paper ball in her hand.

"Do you feel sorry for me for ruining your silver coins?" Donner laughed as he poured butter into a small bowl of silver coins. Silver coins were beaten so thin that a small silver coin could make seven or eight small bowls.

When everyone was ready, Donner lit the butter from the silver bowl in their hands in turn.

"Let go. ”

At the sound of the order, more than a dozen huge paper balls flew up at the same time, heading to the northeast, and all of them dragged long strips of cloth under the paper balls without exception.

Watching the paper ball rise into the air, Donner just smiled slightly, while the others opened their mouths wide and looked up in stunned sight.

"Don't look at it, go on!" Donner quickly reminded.

A few minutes later, when everyone mounted and retreated, hundreds of Kong Ming lanterns had filled the entire night sky, and the stars in the sky were also eclipsed.

"Hold on! if we don't go back, those brothers will die in vain!" said Mino, holding up one of the magic apprentices.

On the west side of the Tedder Mountains, more than a dozen young soldiers were exhausted. After they descended the mountain, they first lost half of their team members before they got rid of the pursuit. Several attempts to approach the camp of the large army killed more than a dozen people one after another, and the last time it was almost surrounded by an army of nearly a thousand people.

By this time, they had been able to determine, as Downer had said, that the Celts would do whatever it took to prevent them from approaching the army and delivering the message.

The young men hadn't had a good rest for five days since they had parted with Donner Hill, and if it hadn't been for the wild boar that Paz had struck two days earlier, they would have all starved to death.

"Captain, I really can't walk anymore, you let me die here......" The magic apprentice named Best, his voice was as thin as a gossamer.

Mino, who finally stopped pulling him, sat down himself and grabbed the weeds around him as if he were angry, trying to uproot them, and finally gave up after several efforts. He was so tired.

"Captain, am I dazzled, is there something in the sky?" asked Best softly.

Minoan looked up and saw several clusters of light slowly coming from the southwest, probably from the other side of Mount Tetel.

It wasn't like magic, it couldn't be a meteor, and if you looked closely at the one that flew the lowest, it seemed that there was something on top of the light cluster.

"Path, can you take one down?" asked Mino.

"It should work. Paz replied, although he was also tired, but the sea of gods was still abundant.

Not long after, the lowest-flying light suddenly lit up, and then dragged its flaming tail, fell down, and landed not far away.

Mino ran up and picked up the wreckage on the ground, and in the starlight, he could read the words on the strip of cloth.

"It's Donner! it must be him, he's still alive!" Mino shouted.

"What's written on it?" asked Paz eagerly.

"Above...... Written, Archduke Celtic...... It's the rebels!" Mino said in a choked voice.

"It must be Donner! Look, there are many! in the direction of the barracks!"

"We don't have to report it...... Donner used this method to send the news back......"

More than a dozen young people who survived the catastrophe hugged their heads and cried.

On the border between the Thorn Empire and the Fermont Empire, a thin horse, carrying a thin figure, walked slowly.

The horse is a dark horse, and the man is dressed in black, walking in the night, strange and mysterious.

The man had a strange scimitar at his waist, short and thin, not like it could be used in battle.

If anyone recognizes the knife, they will avoid it.

The knife is called the Shadow Blade, and the name is both the name of the knife and the name of an organization, a killer organization.

People who use such knives never fight, they only kill, silently kill.
