Chapter 10: No Choice
"Can you move?"
"Hmm. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Sure enough, Jarro still invested a lot of money on you!"
β...... Don't you have to prepare it?"
"What is there to prepare? If they do use the border guards, we will not be able to carry this place even if we are armed to the teeth. A round of magic attacks covers the ground. β
In the room of the post station, Sun Chenghuan leaned on the head of the bed, looking at the person in front of him who was holding a teacup and drinking water, while looking at the person who was talking to him, a little speechless.
Master, the big fat man, doesn't look like a coachman at all at this time.
"So...... You think it's Merth's army, too?"
"Archers are not. Master shook his head, "It should be Carter's coming, their attack habits are Carter's army." First temptation, and then begin to rain unreasonable arrows. β
"Maybe it's a parody?"
"I can't imitate it. Merce's archers didn't shoot as often as Carter, and the practice of archery in our army was all about accuracy. β
"You're a soldier?"
"Once...... "Masters, smiling and shaking his head, "not anymore." β
"That's right, otherwise you'd be out in the forest......"
"Not really. Not everyone is so interested in killing Princess Jarro. Master heard Sun Chenghuan's words and smiled, "If they were all of the same mind, we wouldn't be able to leave that forest at all." Not even a single Order Wizard ......"
Speaking of this, he shook his head and spit on his face.
"It's been a long time since the army's supporting auxiliary mages don't have order mages, isn't it said that Merce hasn't had a Chaos mage for decades?"
"Who said that! It's rare, but there are some. It's just that the Chaos Mage is still such a good martial artist at the same time, and he is indeed an outlier. Master shook his head, "And the magic dispel in order magic is not only effective against chaos magic, but also the blessing of the opposing army." β
β...... Then why didn't you bring it?"
"Then how do I know? Maybe it's because it's easy for the average archer to get through the check, but it's too difficult for a mage. Carter's side is not equipped, and the people on this side are not concerned. After all, you're just a few students, and you're not even eighteen years old......" Master sighed, "Thankfully!"
"How?"
"As long as the person in charge of this matter is a person who has been on the battlefield, he will definitely go to find an order mage. Master smiled, "If it were me, I wouldn't have made such a mistake." β
β...... Well. So this time it should be ...... too."
"No, it won't. Master shook his head, "Although the attack in the woods was certainly not intended to be a single blow, but being fooled around by you, killing the centurion in charge of the command and killing a magician, must have angered the people who ordered it, so, you guessed correctly, they did gather a force, all cavalry." β
β...... Do you want to disguise yourself as a bandit in the desert?"
"That's right!" Master smiled and nodded, "So, we're definitely not going to be on the road." β
"Didn't they think about it either?"
"Of course, otherwise you think I'm going to be busy as soon as I get here, and what am I going to do after more than three hours?"
"What?"
"There's a small force stationed here to escort us on our way. β
β...... What a shame. Sun Chenghuan snorted. "How did you refuse such a reason?"
"Princess Jarro! She asked Astrana's men to escort her before she left. Master smiled and shook his head, "Say she doesn't trust Merth's army now......"
"Isn't it Carter's soldier?"
"Someone has to believe it!" said Master with a smile, "If Carter's army could infiltrate Merce so easily, and all these hundreds of years of war would have been fought in vain? β
"Hmmm......"
Indeed, no one believed this kind of thing, and a team of 100 archers infiltrated and obtained a full set of bows and arrows in the territory of Merce......
If there is no internal response, it is estimated that many nobles will feel cold in their vests, so no one will believe that these are Carter's people.
Even if it was, no one believed it.
Soon, though, a professional military man will make a judgment like Mast, and it must be Carter's military man, and it's a matter of combat style.
Of course, this traitor is definitely not a soldier, but a certain nobleman who has been bribed, and the bows and arrows are all provided by Merce. Then take the opportunity to sort out the army, and then go out to fight for a wave and get some results to inspire people or something.
So, it's going on here, and it won't be for long.
However, even if it is a day, it is enough.
As long as the Astranas really want Jarro to return home......
"Can Jarro really go back?"
"Yes. Astrana's gang of nobles still wants to return to the past era of the division of the three kings......"
"Can this go back? The other two were wiped out......
"That's why there are two princes vacant!" Master laughed, "Even if the territory of the Liu family is returned to Jarro, the territory of the remaining two families can still have many opportunities to grab! But if Jarro is gone...... This three-king partition system is pure nonsense. Therefore, even if it is to keep themselves and fight for the opportunity of the remaining two princes, these sons will protect Jarro. In addition, the other two kings who were chosen after Jarro returned to Astrana would make Jarro the leader of their new alliance of three kings. β
β...... Not very understood. Sun Chenghuan shook his head very seriously.
"You don't understand the Astrana. Master sighed, "It's a very old-fashioned bunch. β
"That won't be ...... like that"
"A simple example. Have you heard of the Cult of the Holy Maiden?"
β...... You're not trying to tell me ......."
"There are still quite a few people in Astrana who believe in the Church of the Holy Maiden. Master looked at Sun Chenghuan with a ridiculous face, and nodded seriously, "So, as long as their people can believe that this is a tradition, then their people will easily accept it, the previous rebels said that the division of the three kings was because the three families destroyed the tradition after the Penglai people left, so many people followed them to rebel." It turned out that these people were not as good as the Three Kings at all, and now people are missing Jarro...... Although in fact, few of them have seen Jarro. β
Sun Chenghuan nodded.
What surprised him was that it was not at all an Astrana tradition.
He was amazed that the Holy Virgin Church.
If the Cult of the Holy Virgin still exists in Astrana......
He remembered the man who prayed every day in the cave.
So...... Did her prayers work?
Seeing that Sun Chenghuan seemed to be a little distracted, Master also stopped and didn't say anything about Astrana.
"I heard Jarro say, you don't want to go to Astrana?"
"Hmm. β
"Why?"
"I've got something to do with Mills......"
"What a big thing, more important than your earldom!"
β...... Why is it an earl?"
"Jarro said that if you are willing to follow her to Astranna, she will make you count. β
β...... Stop it. Sun Chenghuan had a black line in his head, "How can this kind of thing be ......?"
"How could it be. Master smiled, "You'll be her husband......"
"......" Sun Chenghuan suddenly felt a headache.
It's not the first time I've encountered such a plot, right......
"I have a fiancΓ©e. β
"Well, the daughter of Baron Nagrand...... A very small baron, if you refuse to go to Astranna...... The title of Baron of Nagrand should be gone before it reaches his daughter. Master put away his smile.
"Who the hell are you?" Sun Chenghuan's brows were already twisted.
"I'm just a coachman. β
I believed it. Sun Chenghuan snorted.
"I'm really just a coachman. Master smiled, "It's just that I'm doing things for the Presbyterian Church, so I'm pulling the tiger's skin banner." β
Snorted again, Sun Chenghuan didn't take it seriously.
"When I followed you into Mills before, didn't I line up there honestly like you? Master continued to laugh and shake his head, "It's just that someone remembered me and thought I was pretty good, so they made me do something other than being a coachman." β
"Then why do you say anything about Baron Nagrand...... yes, how do you know?"
"I have all that bit of information about you. Master smiled and said, "If it weren't for your information, such as Leal Foster or Ketlan Pol, do you think this kind of thing would make you one of all the members?"
β...... It's our handle, right?" Sun Chenghuan nodded.
"Well, and that Conina Naglan. Master nodded, "It's okay if you don't want to be that count, I think Sovan will be glad to do it." But you're definitely going to Astranna. This, I can't help you. β
β...... You say, what if I die in battle tonight?" Sun Chenghuan said suddenly.
Be quiet.
"Are you willing?" said Master's face grimaced.
"Actually, you're wrong, I have a good relationship with Lial and Ketran, but...... There is no point in threatening me with them. Sun Chenghuan shook his head, "Including ...... Conina"
"I know, so, it's Jarro who we threatened you!"
β...... This ......"
"Maybe you don't remember me, we knew each other very early, very early. Master continued to laugh, "I was the one who drove the carriage that picked up Jarro from Yingao City. β
β......β
"So, when you told Jarro that you weren't going to Astrana, it must be because there are people in Merce who are more important than Jarro and deserve to give up the Earl title for him......"
β......β
"Next, just find it, and you're done. Master summed it up.
Be quiet.
"Why do you have to let me go!" Sun Chenghuan cried with a sad face.
He found that in front of this uncle, who he thought was quite kind before, he had no way to fight back.
There is such a thing as power......
"Who let you be recommended by the other four people at the same time!" Master had a helpless expression, "Originally, the strategy that you people who were going to send to Astrana was to ask Grant and Sovan to go over there and continue to fight...... And then...... Well, it's all gone anyway. The fact that the two of them are so willing to let you be their mediator is really surprising to many people, and then, I happen to know a little bit about you and Princess Jarro...... So, you are the leader of this group, that is to say, after sending Jarro back to Astranna, the interests of the Merce Kingdom will depend on you to ensure it, you say, if you don't go, let Sovan and Grant fight again? Then we can't let Jessica go again......"
β...... It's so complicated......" Sun Chenghuan sighed.
"Now Grant has been left out of the mix. He's been so bad along the way. Master sighed, "The carriage that took him back to Mills had already departed yesterday without coming with us on this side......
β...... You ......" Sun Chenghuan suddenly felt something.
Will Grant's carriage make it back to Mills?
"So, you don't have much chance of riding the carriage back to Mills. Master sighed, "I won't forget to have the Order Mage in the queue. β
β...... I have to go back to Mills. β
Sun Chenghuan shook his head again.
Very resolute.
"I'm sorry. Master shook his head.
All the same, very resolute.
