Chapter 259: Return
"Stampede, trample!" Dozens of fast horses drove across the avenue, and sitting on the front of the war horse was Ryan who had been dressed up, and behind him, there were only Vivian, Sophie and a few relatives, counting, they were a total of 9 people, but they brought nearly fifty war horses, relying on the constant change of horses, they maintained a very fast galloping speed.
Ryan was riding on the horse, his body jolting with the horse under his crotch, but he remembered the words that Faras said in his ear yesterday when he secretly went south from the imperial capital: "Ryan, you return to Cassano this time, in order to ensure that the news does not leak out, I will continue to prepare for our wedding, and the other affairs of the imperial capital will not change, so that when you suddenly appear on the battlefield, the shock to both sides is absolutely huge, and the other party does not know your existence in advance, and will definitely not take into account your magic." ”
"But one thing you have to remember, my dear, our wedding will begin in half a month, and you will only have seven days after you arrive in Cassano, except for the time you have to travel to and from Cassano. Seven days, you have so many things to do, and all of them are too difficult. Our marriage contract cannot be changed, especially when most of the lords of the empire have sent congratulatory messengers, changing this time, and even if you fail to come back in time, it will make others think that you didn't take this marriage to heart at all, which will make the imperial capital lose face!"
"And in Cassano, you must not let your people suffer too much loss, which means that you must end the whole battle in seven days, and you must ensure that your losses are acceptable!
"Ryan, although there is a lot of pressure, but my heart will always be with you, even if Cassano and the imperial capital are completely destroyed by the war, even if this world can't accommodate us, we will still be together, so, go, dear, although I am in the imperial capital, but my heart will always belong to you!"
Thinking of this, the corners of Ryan's mouth turned up slightly, he took a deep breath, turned his head to prepare for his subordinates to speed up, but unexpectedly saw Vivien's haggard face behind him. In fact, Vivien's current injuries are not good at all, but she strongly asks to come back with Ryan, if Ryan doesn't take her, she would rather run back alone, and in desperation, Ryan has no choice but to comply. During the two-day journey, although Vivien's back injury had been very painful, she didn't even hum, she clenched her teeth and held on, but the expression on her face became more and more haggard, making Ryan see it in her eyes and hurt in her heart.
Ryan thought for a moment, and found that his group had been galloping for almost 4 hours, and it was getting late at this time, and he should rest for a while, people wanted to drink water and eat something, and the horses had to be fed with forage, so he looked back and made a gesture, signaling everyone to rest for a while, and soon, this line of 9 people controlled five times their own horses and stopped on the side of the road.
Ryan watched Vivien clench her white teeth and sit on the ground without humming, feeling pity in her heart, he walked over slowly and handed her his water bladder, Vivien was stunned, she squeezed out a smile from her face and pointed it at Ryan, not wanting to be seen by Ryan The pain hidden under this smile.
"How's your injury?" Ryan asked, sitting next to Vivien, concerned.
"It's okay!" Vivian almost gritted her teeth to say these two words, in fact, the wound on her back that was already scarred has been cracked, every time Vivian's body moves, she will feel the sharp pain from the wound, although she has been holding on, but the pale face and cold sweat on her forehead have long exposed her heart.
Ryan frowned, turned his head and called for Sophie, and asked Vivien's two maids to help. When the horses had been fed fodder and the people had finished their dinner, Sophie came to Ryan with a sad face and whispered, "The back is all cracked, it can't go on like this, we have at least one day and two nights to go." ”
Ryan sighed deeply when he heard this, it is impossible to leave Vivian at this time, otherwise she will be even more dangerous, Ryan's only choice is to continue to take Vivian on the road, so he did not hesitate to open his mouth and give an order: "Speed up the frequency of changing horses and go full speed!"
After saying this, Ryan walked towards Vivian with a gentle face, Vivian had already seen what Sophie and Ryan said, she said to Ryan who walked towards her with a wary face, "I'm fine, I can ......"
"I know!" Ryan interrupted Vivien directly, "Let's go quickly, there is almost one day and two nights, and if everything goes well, we can be there the morning after tomorrow." ”
At this time, Ryan's squire led him with a war horse, and Ryan jumped up directly, but just as Vivien was about to walk towards his war horse, Ryan bent down and stretched out his hand in front of Vivian.
"Ahh In order not to touch Vivien's injury, Ryan had Vivien sit face to face with him, so that Vivien's back was facing the horse's head, and her legs were naturally wrapped around Ryan's waist.
Although this posture is very ambiguous, Vivian can use Ryan's body as a cushion not to be too bumpy, and Ryan in order to reduce Vivian's bumps as much as possible, even adopted a posture of standing on her knees and stepping on the stirrups with her legs hard, so that the bumps from the crotch were mostly dissolved by Ryan's legs, and Vivian sat on Ryan's body and almost didn't feel too many bumps. It was the first time that Vivian had maintained such an intimate posture with Ryan in front of her subordinates, and she had always been spicy and generous, burying her blushing face deep into Ryan's chest.
This time, Ryan's war horses going south are all carefully selected by the Royal Knights, even if they are riding a horse and two horses, they can still maintain a fast enough speed, of course, the fatigue of the horses will also be aggravated, but anyway, Ryan They have enough horses, as long as they find that the speed of the war horse under the crotch is slowing down, they will not hesitate to change, and Ryan directly held Vivian from this war horse in the process of galloping directly to another war horse, without slowing down the speed of the entire team. Only Sophie, who was behind Ryan, looked at Vivien, who had a sweet face, in Ryan's arms with a look of envy and jealousy, fantasizing in her heart that she could have such a day.
――――――*――――――*――――――*―――――― "Adela, how is it, you're not sure?" Adams looked at his daughter with a solemn expression.
Adela was dressed in a military uniform, and her pale green cloak concealed the armor on her upper body, but it accentuated her slender thighs even more. Adela stood quietly at the top of Tekken Castle with his helmet in his hand, staring to the east, the direction of the invaders of Seker.
"I'm not sure, father. Adela replied slowly, "But in any war, before the battle, what commander would dare to say that he was in complete control of everything? ”
"What Orlando could have done yesterday, so can we at Cassano today. Because we are the people of Lord Lane, and I am absolutely confident that the Master will not leave us alone. Adela said to her father in a rather affirmative tone.
"I believe it too, daughter. Adams said without hesitation: "According to the transmission time of the information, we still have about 3 days to wait for Ryan's reinforcements, but daughter, according to your arrangement, if we don't continue to send reinforcements, then at most tomorrow morning, Senate's army will capture the last barrier of our Iron Fist Castle in the east, and then they can go directly into our hinterland, and our losses will become quite huge." ”
"I know, father. Adela said lightly, "Senate's army has crossed the Vallo Mountains and has two important targets to attack, one is the Iron Fist Castle north of Cassano, and the other is the Crimson Castle to the south. Now Cassano is in charge of the overall situation, all of them are members of our Saranal family, and it stands to reason that as long as they move south, our people will be afraid that the family will be damaged, and they will constantly ask me to use the reserve force to rescue. ”
"However, the three elite troops personally prepared by the master of Ryan have not yet fully formed an army, and the Iron Fist Castle and the Crimson Castle are not short apart, which is enough for the opponent to find a suitable ambush point on the way, even if it is a main battle, it is better than letting us defend the city. Their forces are also far above us, and as long as they inflict heavy losses on our main force, Senate's army will be able to pass through Cassano unhindered, right?"
Adams nodded slowly, Adela's analysis is indeed very reasonable, but now the other party has chosen to attack the Iron Fist Castle, which shows that the other party has other plans.
"Now that the enemy is outnumbered, Sennat's two elite legions with a total of 80,000 men have arrived, and if they had attacked with all their might, they would have been able to attack under the Iron Fist Castle a long time ago, but why are they still unhurriedly sweeping our strongholds on the periphery one by one?" Although Adela used a questioning sentence, she herself seemed to have an answer, and immediately said her thoughts after asking the question: "It's very simple, they are building momentum!"
"Momentum?" Adams was slightly stunned, but quickly understood his daughter's thoughts: "Are you saying that they are going to force Ryan to come back from the imperial capital, and then drag Ryan to Cassano so that he can't have a wedding with Faras?"
"Yes, that's a pretty powerful move. Adela said in a tone of admiration: "The person who can come up with such a vicious solution is really amazing. Actually, father, let me say something ugly, the region and population of Cassano cannot be compared with the imperial capital at all, and the so-called alliance now is only because of the master of Lane. Now Senate's legion is using this method to create a problem for his master, if he chooses to rescue Cassano, it will inevitably lead to the postponement of the wedding, which will make the imperial capital lose face, and if he chooses to continue the wedding with Faraz, it will also make the people of Cassano disappointed in him!"
"What do you think of Ryan...... What would you choose?" Adams hesitated, but asked his daughter anyway.
Adela smiled at his father and showed a bright smile: "The master will come back, he will use the most terrible means to destroy all those who dare to offend him in the shortest possible time, and then take us back to the imperial capital to attend his wedding to Miss Faraz, I believe this is the choice of my master, the overlord of Cassano, the Magister Lane!"
