Chapter 298: Escape
readx;? When the carriage was far away from the royal capital and confirmed that it was safe, Lin Ye, Lancelot and the others finally rolled out of the mezzanine of the carriage. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Staying in such a closed place for so long would have tossed him enough, and if the soldiers searched carefully, they would definitely be discovered.
But fortunately, someone cooperated, attracting the attention of the soldiers, making them mistakenly think that the wanted criminals were still making waves in the royal capital, so they had an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to escape from the almost impenetrable royal capital in this way, and they could only be trapped in this lonely fortress.
The sky was overcast, the rain was pouring down, and it was getting late, and the merchant group paused behind a small hill to rest.
The knights dismounted and set up a makeshift camp, lit a fire and cooked, and stood here to see the huge outline of the royal capital in the distance, and the clouds did not disperse.
"My lord, drink a cup of hot water, it's hard for you all the way. Fant handed a cup of freshly boiled hot water to Lin Ye's hand.
Lin Ye looked at the city that symbolized power, his expression was complicated, and when he first arrived in the royal capital, he was thinking about finding a suitable investor.
But after nearly a month, it was the result of such an embarrassing escape, which was not expected at the beginning.
"I don't know what it will be like the next time I come back to the city. Lin Ye smiled self-deprecatingly.
Although this experience in the royal capital is not good, it can be called nine deaths, but he has a hunch that sooner or later he will appear here.
It may be under the walls of the royal capital, but in what capacity it is unknown.
The only thing that could be foreseen was that the trumpet of war was about to sound on the land of the Empire, even if it was so close to the royal capital.
They can all smell this thick smell of gunsmoke, and in the distance, there are troops quickly assembling, and the banners belong to the eldest prince Leo and the second prince Layton.
At present, the royal capital is firmly in the hands of Rhaegar, and they all know that if they don't try to make a wave before Rhaegar's reinforcements arrive.
It's hard to get so close to this position, but to break through a fortified city like the royal capital, you need to have large siege engines.
This day will not wait long, but Lin Ye has no idle time to waste here, he must quickly return to the Far East and fight his troops.
"Do you want to come back next time? It's a blessing to be able to get out alive this time. Marlene sneered with her dagger in her arms.
She didn't have a good impression of this young man all along, and she was obviously just a teenage ghost.
But he had to pretend to be very deep, who did he think he was? Every time she thought about it, it made her heart very unhappy.
"The world is impermanent, maybe the next time I come here, will I drive others to run away?" Lin Ye said casually.
At this time, Green and the others had already prepared wine and meat, and the road was muddy on a rainy day, and it was very unsafe to rush to the night.
Moreover, now that a large number of troops are gathering nearby, it would be strange for them to walk rashly like this, and others will not regard them as spies.
"You can only pay lip service to you. Marlene scoffed at his words and didn't take them to heart at all.
Now that the war has begun, whether it is Leo, Leighton, or Rhaegar all have strong troops, and the forces of all sides are ready to move.
The Blue Frost Kingdom in the north, the Dmok Federation in the south, and the alien races that survive in the cracks, but all of them are brave and good at fighting.
The local governors have also been self-respecting for a long time, the remnants of the old dynasty, the new aristocracy, and the marquis with heavy troops on the border.
And the Rose family, the pillar that supported the empire, began to lose trust in the empire.
In the face of so many powerful forces, the Far East is too insignificant, and if you want to shake the world, you can't rely on words.
It's an army, a powerful army that sweeps the world and provides a steady stream of logistical support!
"My lord. At this time, Iga Fukiyuki returned to this makeshift camp wearing a night suit.
Lin Ye thought that it was too awkward for too many people to call him master, so he changed his title, and after leaving the royal capital, he sent her to find out the news.
Although he will not be involved in the disputes in the royal capital at present, he must at least have a bottom of the struggle situation of several princes.
"How's the investigation going, what is the situation outside the royal capital now?" Lin Ye immediately asked.
Rhaegar now controls the entire army of the royal capital, including the Knights of Light, the Royal Knights, the Royal Guards, the Garrison Legion, and the Iron Lion Guards.
Before leaving, he also received the news that Solo had been dismissed by Rhaegar and that Solo was currently under house arrest.
After all, his position has always been unclear, and Rhaegar is not at ease to let such a man with military power stay by his side.
Lin Ye, who got the news, was a little emotional, he knew that today, did Solo regret not withdrawing in time?
The stubborn disease of the empire has been deeply rooted, and there is no way to recover at all, but even then does he still have to be so stubborn?
"Now the eldest prince Rhaegar has urgently requisitioned the forces of six legions to assemble on the Kama Hill on the west side of the royal capital, and the second prince Layton has gathered the troops of two legions, and they are on standby on the slopes of the Egao Mountains on the north side of the royal capital. "Iga Fukiyuki is very handy when he gets information.
I'm afraid this is the so-called making the best use of people's talents and making the best use of things, if someone else bought her at the Miranda auction house, I am afraid that she will only be treated as a plaything.
But in Lin Ye's hands, her characteristics have been thoroughly developed, and she will come and go as freely as a civet cat, and she will definitely become a ghost on the battlefield.
"Is there only a total of eight standing legions? At this level, there is no way to attack the royal capital. ”
Lancelot shook his head, he was very clear about the deployment of troops in the royal capital, and the army in the royal capital was the elite.
Coupled with the tall and sturdy city walls as the backing, it is simply a fool's dream to defeat the royal capital with such a force.
On the premise of large siege equipment, it is necessary to have at least thirty legions to have a chance to take the royal capital.
Moreover, this has to be established on the premise of a long siege, and even if there is no water and food, it will take at least two years to take the royal capital.
But during this period, Rhaegar would have been able to recruit reinforcements from all over the world, and the most important thing was that the longer he had been in the royal capital.
This position became more and more secure, until finally everyone formed the illusion that Rhaegar was indeed the emperor.
"Of course, you can't take the royal capital at this level alone, but what if you join the fourth army?" Lin Ye suddenly said.
He and Lancelot often conducted offensive and defensive drills in the royal capital, and it was indeed very difficult to capture such a majestic city.
But if that army arrives, Leo and the others will not have a chance of winning if they join forces.
"Where did the fourth army come from?" asked Marlene, frowning.
She is good at fighting alone, but her command ability in the army is really not very good.
"The third prince Rennes, who was born in the army and has been in the southern border army, rumored half a month ago that he sent troops to the royal capital, but there was no movement for a long time, and he did not even come to attend the funeral of His Majesty the Emperor. )
