Chapter 404: News (II)
"Territory? Alas, don't mention it." Sir Ye Xikan sighed, his face disappointed.
Romon looked at his dejected look, and could roughly guess what the situation was in the territory under the other party's rule.
"My lord, let's talk while walking, this place is a little unsafe, let's go to the place in front of us first, and then sit down and rest." Lu Senpei suddenly walked over at this time and said to Romon suggestively.
Because they are two different countries, the language in which Romon and Rusenpei communicate, Sir Ye Xikan's side also can't understand it, seeing that Romon nodded straight when he listened, Sir Ye Xikan looked at him with an inquiring face.
As soon as Romon turned around, he saw Sir Ye Xikan's expression.
As soon as he hurriedly said the words of his attendants, Sir Ye Xikan, who was already panicked by the demon army, immediately agreed.
He walked back to the crowd of fleeing people, muttered a series of words, and immediately the faces of the group showed approval.
And the other small group of women and children, although they were already physically unable to keep up, if they didn't follow the large army, and then encountered the demon army, there would be only one way to die, so they also hurriedly stood up and followed the large army and hurried together.
After walking a little further, he came to a high slope, and seeing that the fleeing people were indeed exhausted, Romon announced that he would rest in place.
Actually, not far from here is the coast, where the broken boat of Romon and theirs is docked, and it is always more comfortable and safe to rest on the boat than to rest here, but Romon needs to continue to understand the situation before deciding whether to take this group of people to rest on the broken ship.
Sir Ye Xikan sat under a tree, looking at the young man next to him who was dressed in a robe but with an elegant face, and he had a lot of confusion in his heart. 、
For example, is this young man really a baron? why does he practice druids? he is so young, why is he so proficient in using druid spells?
Although the man in front of him is not from his own country, judging from the other party's temperament, speech and demeanor, and strength, what the other party said is at least somewhat true.
Facing a life-saving benefactor who is also a baron, if it were normal, he might take care of the consequences of telling strangers and discusses, but now, the occurrence of the demon disaster has completely destroyed the entire kingdom, and even the king is gone, he is a down-and-out nobleman, what else is there to worry about?
Simply, just spit out the bitter water in this stomach.
Thinking of this, Sir Ye Xikan sighed and said, "Dear friend, just now you asked, what is the situation in my territory. Actually, you can see the situation here, there are ruins everywhere, in fact, not only here, but all the nearby villages and towns have been destroyed by the demon army, and my baronial castle, although very strong, was also captured by the demon army a few hours ago, and only a few people ran out with me......"
"What about the army?, is there no one who can resist the attack of the demons?" Romon turned around, looked at Sir Ye Xikan's decadent appearance, and asked puzzledly, "Also, what about your knights? Why didn't you see it?"
"Army, knight?" Sir Ye Xikan shook his head, a wry smile on his face.
"Distinguished friend, in my ruling area, there are only two knights, and among the demon armies that attack my territory, there are several powerful demons, compared to them, the human army is really very fragile, in this case, our army is defeated, and even my two knights have died for it. ”
"What about the other territories? There's so much trouble here, won't the others send troops to the rescue?" asked Romon again.
"Do you mean other territories?" As if hearing a joke, Sir Ye Xikan shook his head: "How can you ask such a question? Boasting that my territory is already the most powerful in the vicinity, even my territory has been captured by the demon army, who else will be able to resist their attacks nearby? Not to mention ordinary lords and nobles, even His Majesty the King...... Alas, even His Majesty the King was killed in battle with the demon army......"
"What, you say, your king is dead in battle?" Rumon was surprised to hear this.
Although he had long felt that the demonic plague in this area was more serious than the one he had experienced, and the situation was actually so serious, he had not thought about it.
Even the head of a country had died in battle with the demon army, so he could already imagine how chaotic and fragile the country was now.
If analyzed from this point of view, it is not easy for this baron and knight who can escape from a large number of demon armies, with some luck and ability.
Thinking of this, Romon looked at Sir Ye Xikan, who was sitting directly on the ground and had lost the aristocratic reserve, with a very complicated gaze.
"What's the name of your country, and what's next for you?" Romon asked.
The king is dead, the territory is gone, and the entire region has been overrun by the demon army, what are the people going to do next?
"Originally, it was the Dudra Kingdom, distinguished friend, I have also heard of your Asker Kingdom, it seems to be separated by two thousand nautical miles!" Speaking of this, Sir Ye Xikan sat on the ground, the corners of his mouth barely pulled upward, and showed a smile at Luo Meng that was not too ugly: "As for me now, at least, we survived, as long as we survived, there will always be a way, isn't it?"
"Well, yes, as long as you survive, there will always be a way. Romon repeated the other man's words and nodded.
Looking at it this way, the son of this nobleman is quite optimistic, since even the other party can laugh out in this situation, he and Lu Senpei are just separated from most of them, and they have fallen into this place where there is war everywhere, so thinking about it, it is nothing.
"What are your plans for the next place, my dear friend, I seem to have heard that you came to this place in a storm at sea, so what are your plans now?" asked Sir Ye Sikan.
"Two thousand nautical miles...... I was hoping to find a boat to go back to, my boat broke down. Romon said.
It is impossible to cross such a long space by lightning.
"With the situation here, if you want to return to your kingdom by ship, I am afraid that it will be quite difficult, you know, the occurrence of the demon disaster has destroyed many caravans that go to sea, even if they have ships, they will not be able to get it. Sir Ye Xikan spoke like an old friend.
"It's okay, wait here for a few days, maybe our people will be able to find it. Romon said casually.
After a little more conversation, from the mouth of the down-and-out baron, Romon had a general understanding of the situation in the region, and on the whole, the situation was very bad.
It is said that the resistance army of this kingdom has basically collapsed, even the king has been killed in battle, most of the territory has fallen into the hands of the demons, and the demon army has been promoted to the demon viscount, in this case, if this situation continues to spread, it is conceivable that it will not be long before a demon-controlled kingdom will really rise in this area.
"Has the Demon Army already appeared Viscount?" After all, the impact of this news was greater than the power of the previous king's death, and it also surprised Romon even more.
Even if a king dies in the human kingdom, as long as there are still people, there will be another king who will appear immediately, but if a demon viscount is promoted in the demon army, then its strength is so strong that it has to make people feel shocked and panicked.
"Yes, this is indeed true, if it weren't for the appearance of a viscount in the demon army, the kingdom's army would not have been defeated so quickly. Sir Ye Xikan's face had not yet recovered, and it was even more ugly to mention this matter.
Romon nodded, if this is the case, the defeat of this kingdom is understandable.
"Your Excellency. At this time, Lu Senpei came over again.
"Huh?"
"Look, shouldn't we go back? After all, the area is not very safe, and it is slightly safer by the sea. Lu Senpei reminded him.
"Okay. Romon nodded, and then said to Sir Ye Xikan on the side: "This place is not very safe, do you have a place to live today?"
"Alas, what else can the fallen man live?" said Sir Ye Xikan, shaking his head, indicating that there was no.
"In that case, you can come with me, I still have a broken ship by the sea, and it is better to be able to live in people for the time being than in such a dangerous place. Romon said suggestively.
"Thank you then. Without excuse himself, Sir Ye Xikan thanked Romon and beckoned the others to get up and prepare for their journey.
The reason why Sir Ye Xikan directly agreed was that there was really nowhere to go, and no matter how dilapidated the ship Luo Meng said, it was indeed better than staying near these ruins.
The second is that with the skills of Romon and Russenpei, Sir Ye Xikan feels very safe with them.
In this way, with this group of people, Romon and Russenpei returned to the shore. Although the broken ship was destroyed in the storm, it was a 200-ton ship after all, and there were dozens of people living in the deck and cabin, so there was no problem.
Back on the ship, the weather was okay, and Romon arranged for them to rest on the deck of the broken ship first.
Something edible was brought from the ship, and the men ate and drank some, and the group, which had long been exhausted, soon fell asleep on the deck.
Of course, Romon didn't fall asleep, he first went out and received the demon corpses into the space, but the time dragged on for a long time, and the effect was not great, and then he went back and began to think about countermeasures.
Of course, going home is the first choice, but how to figure out the surrounding environment is also the most important point.
