Philip struggled for a long time, and finally couldn't resist the temptation, and led a group of mercenaries under his command to monitor Little Peter and his party to cross the river again, and return to the ambush scene that had just escaped.

They walked quietly in the jungle, and as they walked, they heard one of the mercenaries in charge of the pathfinder running back, whispering something to Philip and glancing at little Peter from time to time. Little Peter didn't know, so he could only smile and put on an innocent expression.

Philip looked at him carefully, looked at his innocent look, and thought about what a child of only eleven or twelve years old could have. He nodded to the mercenary who reported the news, and the mercenary had to walk back to the front of the line.

After a while, the line stopped. At this time, little Peter saw the mercenary in front of him make a gesture, and the whole team suddenly squatted down and became very quiet.

Before he could react, Eva grabbed his arm and pressed him to the ground. Philip tried hard to shrink his fat belly, squatted down in pain, and after a while, he sat directly on the ground, spitting hot air out of his mouth.

Just when little Peter was puzzled, he saw a thin mercenary half-crouching from the front and rubbed over, and whispered: "I saw a group of people who looked like the Knights of the Holy See ahead." ”

Philip snorted his hand in front of his face, and he asked in surprise: "Of the Holy See Knights, are you not mistaken?"

The thin mercenary didn't even nod his head, and he swore in the affirmative, guaranteeing that he was not mistaken. Philip didn't care to wipe the sweat that was running down his huge forehead, and he muttered to himself in confusion: "Holy See Knights, is it the Holy See that attacked us, this makes no sense." However, if it weren't for the Holy See, how could they be here? ”

Little Peter pursed his lips and worried about Uncle William, but their current situation was also very dangerous, so he had to suppress other thoughts and try to think about how to escape from Philip.

Philip scratched his head and thought about it for a long time without coming up with anything famous, he waved his hand and roared irritably: "Go, go ahead, and then observe and see the situation first." ”

It was only when the emaciated mercenary disappeared that he whispered something restlessly, looking at little Peter strangely as he spoke. Little Peter was looked at by him all over his body, and he could only pretend not to know that he was stared at, and kept cheering himself up in his heart.

The old man had fallen into deep thought since he heard the thin mercenary's report just now, and he sat on the ground with his head bowed, frowning tightly, thinking about it, and suddenly laughed silently.

The atmosphere in the jungle was very depressing, and little Peter squatted on the ground and felt his legs gradually numb, so he could only sit on the ground like an old man and beat his legs with his hands. He carefully observed the situation around him, and then thought of a plan to escape in his mind. It's just that before he could come up with something famous, he heard a mercenary in front of him shout in fear: "Snake, there is a snake gang to help me." ”

Philip was furious at once, and his mouth whispered that he was a fool, a fool, a coward, and so on. Then he jumped up straight from the ground, which no longer belonged to the speed of a fat man, turned around and ran backwards.

Little Peter was stunned and forgot to run away. When he also wanted to turn around and run like Philip, he saw the old man shaking his head at him and said, "Don't run, as long as it's the Holy See Knights, we won't have any big problems, so I think it's better to wait honestly." Eva was also persuaded by the old man to come down and squat on the ground without moving.

Just when little Peter was stunned, a group of knights in white armor and white cloaks came out of the jungle, and before they could say a word, the mercenaries threw away the tattered weapons in their hands and squatted on the ground honestly with their heads in their hands and surrendered.

The knights didn't seem to show any surprise as they got used to it, and they went back and forth among the mercenaries to check on something.

Suddenly, a knight noticed Little Peter and his party and couldn't help but be stunned, as if he didn't expect to meet such a strange combination as them. He hurriedly asked Little Peter and his party to get up from the ground, and then led them to the opposite side of the jungle himself.

Little Peter followed the knight to a camp. I saw that the camp was about a small size, and several teams of knights were patrolling the camp.

After passing through several tents, they came to the largest tent in the middle of the camp. The tent was all white and embroidered with some religious motifs. The most conspicuous thing is a red cross facing them.

Then he heard the knight say, "Captain, we just saw a few mercenaries in front of us, so we arrested them and took them over, and saw a few civilians. Why don't you come out and have a look?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burly middle-aged man with red hair lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent.

Henry lifted the curtain and walked outside the tent to see what was going on with the civilians that his knights were talking about. As for the mercenaries, he didn't pay any attention. Although the Holy Empire was chaotic now, he had never seen a mercenary who dared to attack the Holy See Knights without knowing the height of the sky. If there really is such a person, he doesn't mind playing with them at all, and he has a rusty body from good activity.

However, when he looked closely at the "civilians", he was completely shocked. He looked at the old man in amazement, with a ghostly expression.

The old man couldn't help but smile as he looked at the burly knight in front of him, and after thinking about it in his mind to make sure that the person in his memory was the same as the one in front of him, he said, "Henry, it's been a long time. When I heard those mercenaries talk about the Holy See, I thought it might be you. ”

Henry quickly came back to his senses, he carefully checked his clothes, then took two steps forward, knelt down on one knee, bowed his head, and said to the old man: "Your Majesty the Emperor." ”

Little Peter felt that there was nothing else in his mind for an instant, only a voice kept saying, "Your Majesty, Emperor." He looked at the old man in surprise, and his whole mind had stagnated. Eva wasn't much better, she almost fell to the ground with a limp.

As for the knight who came to report, he was already speechless, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and remember the life of Captain Henry, which was privately circulated by many knights. He also seemed to know that the next conversation was not something he could observe, so he quickly turned around and left a certain distance without looking back, standing there ready to block all the people who were about to disturb the captain.

Henry got up from the ground, walked to the old man's side, helped him and said, "William is in the tent, fortunately I came in time."

When the old man heard William's news, he breathed a sigh of relief, clapped his hands, and motioned for everyone to come into the tent and talk about the rest. At this moment, little Peter suddenly remembered something and said to Henry: "By the way, the person who kidnapped us just now ran away along the back road. ”

Henry first whistled and waited for the knight to trot up and down to give a few commands, and then smiled and said to little Peter, "Don't worry, he can't run away." “

Little Peter nodded, and then ran straight into the tent, shouting as he ran, "Uncle William, I want to kill you." ”
