"What are you......" Gordon said through gritted teeth, if he hadn't known that the pursuers were approaching, what was waiting for Raymond at this moment would definitely not be a fist, but his feast of fire. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Don't make a fuss, let's go right away. Theo said.
Outside the forest was a smooth road, and Laura's eyesight was excellent, and judging by the distance, they had at least more than an hour to escape.
"Dio, what about Morin?" asked Sophia.
"He should be watching the pursuers from behind. Theo said.
Everyone simply cleaned up and began to walk deep into the forest, and after the test of the dark swamp, everyone's resistance to the harsh environment has been greatly improved.
It's a kind of luck, there are no weak-willed people among them, and even Isabel, who grew up in a greenhouse, has always maintained an optimistic attitude.
If someone can't bear the torment, it is inevitable to complain, which will have a very negative impact on the morale of the team, and even become a burden for everyone, in fact, each of them wants to walk by their side, is a comrade-in-arms who can be relied on, not the kind of child who even has to be persuaded to eat.
"The Principality of Montenegro is also too fast, isn't it?" Raymond said as he walked, "and still chasing so closely...... Grandma's, when I get home, the Grand Duke of Montenegro will wait for bad luck!"
"Don't talk too much. Isabel said, "It's a duke." ”
"Don't treat me like a child...... Raymond rolled his eyes, he knew that Isabel was trying to test him again.
"I believe Raymond. Gordon said.
"Where did the sun come out today, and you're going to help me?" Raymond couldn't believe it.
"Let your sisters go to the Duchy of Montenegro and scold him!" said Gordon, "I believe that the Grand Duke of Montenegro is definitely not the opponent of your sisters, and may be scolded to death." ”
"I hate to get it on them. Raymond's expression became very serious: "Gordon, do you know why I want to leave my hometown?"
"Why?" Gordon's momentum was suppressed, or rather, he wasn't used to Raymond's seriousness.
"Because I want people to know that even without them, I can be an outstanding samurai and do a lot of extraordinary things. Raymond said, "I don't need the help of the family!"
"Then you just said what will happen when you get home. Isabel laughed.
"That's just talking. Raymond shrugged: "Otherwise, what am I going to do with you? ”
"Looks ...... You seem to enjoy her violence......" Gordon whispered.
"What did you say?" Raymond was furious, "Dare to say it again?"
"Alright, alright. Sophia changed the subject: "Dio, what do you think?"
"What do you think?" said Theo.
"What Raymond said just now, the Grand Duke of Montenegro's reaction speed is too fast. ”
"Maureen told me that after the battle of the Marquis of Sain, the Grand Duke of Montenegro took a lot of time to get to know us about us. Dio explained, "Of course, he doesn't know much, but at least he knows that Gordon is from Sky City, and Raymond is from the Lionheart Empire." ”
"How would he know?" said Gordon, stunned.
"With Raymond's big mouth, what other secrets can be kept?" Dio's expression was somewhat helpless: "He shouted all day long, hey, that kid from Sky City, can't others hear it?"
"Then how does he know Raymond's identity?" Gordon also looked helpless.
"Raymond's seventeenth sister...... "Dio said, "Even the servants of the Marquis of Sain's Mansion know that Raymond's sister has come to him from the Lionheart Empire, can they hide it from those who have a heart?"
"The point is, the army of the Grand Duke of Montenegro came too quickly, and it seems that they have been waiting for us for a long time. Isabel said.
"You're to blame for that. Dio smiled wryly.
"Blame me, what's wrong with me?" Isabelle's eyes widened, she was angry, could it be that Dio suspected that she had accidentally divulged a secret?
"Look at the plan you have made...... Dio didn't want to attack Isabel, but he was wise and wise, Isabel was very smart, and he would never make a similar mistake in the future: "We will pass through the territory of the Marquis of Samr first, then through the territory of the Marquis of Balmer, and finally through the territory of the Marquis of Syria, what does this mean? If we are not going to visit the various marquises and counts, our route is almost straight, and what is ahead? Dark swamp! Even a fool knows where we are going." ”
"Also, everywhere we go, we are greeted with hospitality, so many people know that we are coming, and the Grand Guild of Montenegro does not?" said Theo, "He just didn't guess that we had the courage to force our way through the dark swamp......"
Dio was picking on what to say, but in fact he didn't have much courage, it was just because of the spirit of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and if they knew in advance the harsh environment of the Dark Swamp, would they still be able to break in?
And there are a lot of mutant monsters living in the dark swamp, fortunately, Laura and the cat boy can find the breath of those mutant monsters from afar, and bypass them in time, avoiding a lot of trouble, otherwise even if it is an elite team composed entirely of high-level extreme warriors, it may end up with no bones left when it breaks into the dark swamp.
Dozens of samurai stood outside the forest, looking at the hoof prints that stretched all the way into the forest.
"Their horses are already slow to get here, and the initial estimate is that there are at least two horses each, which should be a long way deep by now. A samurai leaned down to examine the marks on the ground and made a judgment.
"There is no horse material, their horses can't support them for a few days, and then they can only walk, everyone work harder, these rabbit cubs, Lao Tzu has run so far, don't let me catch them, otherwise Lao Tzu will make them regret why they were born!"
But the next moment, the fat man saw that the middle-aged man's face beside him was a little uncertain, and immediately put on a smile on his face: "Of course, Young Master Gordon is not included." ”
The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said lightly: "Even if there are no horses, in the forest, the chances of finding those people are very slim, right?"
"What do you mean, Lord Lanka?" the fat man's smile froze on his face.
"I don't mean anything, it's just that I've never liked to do things that don't make sense, so I'll leave it to you here. The middle-aged man named Lanka finished speaking, and regardless of the other party's reaction, he directly turned the horse's head and walked in the direction he came.
"Wait......" The fat man suddenly became anxious, jumped directly from his horse, and stopped Lanka.
Lanka's eyes narrowed, "What? You think you have the right to influence my decisions?"
"Of course not...... "It's early winter, and the fat man in the cold wind has beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead, and with a bitter face, he said, "Lord Lanka, if you leave, that ...... What about that Young Master Gordon?"
"Escort him back to me, of course. Lanka said as a matter of course.
"Yes...... However, if you are not here, how can Master Gordon come with us?"
"That's your problem. Lanka said impatiently: "Montenegro has raised you for so many years, and you can't do this little thing?"
"I ......" The fat man almost went crazy, but he didn't dare to show it, he had already scolded Lanka in his heart, and his lips touched his upper and lower lips, which was very simple, if there was no damn young master, would Lao Tzu be guilty of slapping you. It's not that he's worried about not being able to catch up with Dio and these people, but what to do after catching up, Gordon's identity is too sensitive, although he heard that he is just a child who is not very valued, but after all, he is the descendant of the Tianyan family, and he doesn't dare to touch Gordon with a hundred dares.
That's why he took great pains to invite Lanka over, with the elders of the family here, naturally they don't need to deal with Gordon, even if there is really any accidental injury at that time, there is every reason to clear himself.
But the fat man never thought that Lanka would leave it alone at this time, isn't this a pit person?!
Looking at Lanka's distant back, a samurai looked at the fat man cautiously: "My lord, then are we still chasing?"
"Chase! Why don't you chase!" the fat man spat on the ground, what the hell, Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, no Lao Tzu can catch those rabbit cubs like you.
In the distance, Lanka turned and glanced in the direction of the forest, Gordon, there is only so much I can help you, and it would be a disappointment for me if you could be caught in this way.
Naturally, Gordon didn't know that someone from the family had arrived here, and at this time he and Theo were walking through the forest, and their location was on the edge of the forest, and the trees did not grow densely, and they began to travel very quickly, but the deeper they went, the slower they became.
The most pleasant of all the people was Laura, who had grown up in a similar environment, running happily in the forest with the cat, and the trunks of the trees, the vines that hung down to the ground, and the shrubs that were half a man high, all became her help, but the Dio people were not able to do it, and from time to time they avoided these messes, and they were a little miserable for a while.
Gordon is the most unlucky one, usually riding on the roaring beast more than two meters high, will bring him a feeling of being on top, but here, it has become a burden, the obstacles he faces are almost equal to the sum of all people, the higher he goes, the denser the growth of trees, and then Gordon simply jumped off the roaring beast and walked, which made Dio and several people laugh for a while.
It is said that the fear of the unknown is the most terrible, and this is the case of Dio, who they do not know who they are chasing and where they are chasing, as if there is an invisible whip driving them behind them, so that they can only go all the way forward, and there is no turning back.
