Thanks to the kindness of His Majesty King Karthak, Brady and Darion, who were hostages since they arrived in Cologne, were not mistreated, but were treated as viscounts and marquises, respectively. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Especially in recent years, with the gradual easing of relations between the two countries, the envoys of Nozlang came to Cologne and could meet Darion and Brady unhindered as long as they reported to the sheriff. Of course, this is premised on the fact that the meeting place must be in the city of Cologne.

Cologne, the vibrant capital of the Kartaks, is a prison for body and soul in the eyes of Brady and Darion, eager to regain their freedom.

At the conference table, in the face of Brady's question, Scott said his previous plan, "It is not difficult to get out of the city, Elvis will lead the army to the south in seven days, and the garrison in the city will be more relaxed, and when we are about to return home, you can find an opportunity to blend in with the envoys." The patrol at the north gate has been bought by us, and the inspection will not be very strict, as long as it is ready, you can leave Cologne safely. ”

Karthak had two generals who had been leading the army for many years, one was Ederas, who guarded the Dominican province, and the other was Elvis, who was in charge of conquering the natives of the Parnaki Mountains in the south. These two are friends of His Majesty's troubles, and it can be said that Molière was able to establish a state in the land of the west of Taylor, and the greatest reliance was on this pair of left and right arms.

"Elvis is going south again, hasn't he been back in Cologne for a year?" Brady didn't say anything right away, but first ascertained with Scott the reliability of the information.

"No, as far as I know, the rebels are far larger than the previous skirmishes, as the natives have joined forces with the orcs in the depths of Parnaki. After speaking, Scott paused, "In addition, the price of food on the black market has increased by half a percent in the short term, and with Cologne's huge grain reserves, if there is no large-scale adjustment, the price fluctuation will not be so obvious." ”

"There is no room for error in this matter, and the operation must wait for Elvis to be more than five hundred miles away from the city before it can begin. Brady still shuddered when he remembered that intimidating gaze from a few years ago.

"That's how it should be. Scott and Darion both nodded solemnly when they heard this, facing such a fierce beast that could destroy their own team of centaurs with a random yawn, it can be said that it is impossible to be too cautious.

"In that case, the time of action is set for the fourth day after Elvis leaves Cologne, Darion, and then you will follow the envoys out of the city according to Scott's plan. After thinking about it carefully, Brady had a rough outline of the escape from Karthak, "Scott, the safety of the Grand Prince is in your hands. ”

"Yes, Master Brady. Despite his doubts and concerns, Scott quickly responded to the call.

Brady nodded to Scott, "...... when you're out of town"

"Wait!" Darion on the side listened more and more wrong, so he quickly interrupted Brady's words, and then looked at the friend of life and death who volunteered to follow him to Cologne, "Brady, what about you?"

Under the gaze of Darion's "don't try to hide from me", Brady smiled slightly, "Darion, don't worry, the mountain people have their own tricks, and Cologne can't imprison me." Scott, out of town—"

"Wait!" Darion was not so easy to fool, "we have to go together, or we will stay together." ”

"Stay together?" Hearing Darion's words, Brady was both relieved and amused, "Darion, now is not the time to lose your temper. ”

"Little temper?" Hearing this, Darion almost broke out, and finally resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "Whatever you say, I won't let you stay in the palace this time anyway." ”

"Your Highness, where do you want to go? With my small body, any high-level warrior can slap him with a slap. Am I that stupid?" Brady smiled helplessly, and then patiently explained, "Darion, I am far more familiar with the layout and environment of Cologne than you, and it is not difficult to leave alone. On the contrary, if the two of us get together, the level of surveillance will increase exponentially, and even the slightest caution will cause Grant's eyes to be alerted. ”

"Having said that, but ......" couldn't think of a rebuttal for a moment, and Darion's face was anxious and unwilling.

"Don't worry, when have I ever done something I'm not sure of?" Patting his best friend on the shoulder, Brady turned his head to look at Scott, "As soon as you leave the city, you will secretly divide your troops into two ways at night, and let the large army of the envoys rush to Nozlang along the official road, Scott, you lead the elite team to protect the Great Prince towards the Mist Mountains." ”

Scott and Darion glanced at each other, then looked at Brady in unison, and both asked in surprise, "Mist Mountains?"

Located northwest of Cologne, the Mist Mountains are known for their perennial mist in the mountains. Although it is still possible to reach Nozlang by walking from west to east along the foothills, the distance is more than twice as long as the official road, so Scott and Darion did not plan the route in the first place.

"That's right, Mist Mountains. Brady nodded, "With Grant's shrewdness, I'm afraid that as soon as we leave Cologne, he will immediately notice it, so it is not difficult to get out of the city, but the difficult thing is how to get rid of the pursuers who will come later." ”

As soon as Brady's words fell, a thoughtful Scott continued, "Cologne has a legion of griffons stationed all year round, and it is foreseeable that if we are found to have escaped, at least a small group of griffin knights will join in the pursuit. ”

"With the griffin's incredibly fast speed and wide field of vision, it will take no more than half a day to discover our whereabouts unless we take refuge in the misty mountains where the terrain is difficult and can interfere with the search view. The consequences of being caught at the heart of Karthak were self-evident, and Darion, who had reacted late to Scott's reaction, did not continue.

Seeing that the two friends had understood their intentions, Brady smiled with relief, then opened the drawer under the tabletop and took out a map purchased from the black market.

"Once here, you're divided again. With his index and middle fingers together tapping lightly on the map where "Morning Mist Town" was marked, Brady continued, "Scott, prepare a month's supply for four people, and then you and the Sixth-Order Professional, His Royal Highness the Protector Prince, will go northwest, and I will meet you here then." ”

Scott and Darion did not raise any objections this time, both of them fixed their eyes firmly on the place where the red line was circled, and at the end, Darion, who had closed his eyes and recalled three times and made sure that he had engraved the meeting address in his heart, said leisurely, "Brady, this is the 'golden cicada shell' you told me, right?"

Brady smiled but didn't answer, picked up the **** on the table and took a sip, and unexpectedly found that Scott's two thick ink-like sword eyebrows trembled a few times.

After pondering for a moment, the cautious Knight Chief expressed the worry in his heart, "Young Master Brady, the Mist Mountains are inaccessible, and there are countless unknown magical beasts and poisonous plants, and it is too risky to travel through them for a month without bringing a Restoration Department Specialized Priest, especially since there are only four of us who can't withstand the slightest injury. ”

Scott's concern was not unreasonable, and after a brief discussion, the water and dry food that the Knight Chief needed to replenish in Morningmist became a share of five people, and the extra share was for Darion's close attendant, Russell, a second-order holy priest.

After a morning of repeated deliberation by the three stooges, near noon, a more complete escape plan was finally decided, for which Brady let out a long sigh of relief, and then, "Darryon, Scott, don't you think you should give this operation a code name?"

Not only His Royal Highness, but even Scott, who has always been mature and steady, also showed a cute face this time.

"Imagine decades later, when we lie on a wicker chair and tell our grandchildren about this exciting life experience, in the innocent and adoring eyes of the children, we can only open our mouths and say what happened to our grandfather when he escaped from Cologne. Isn't this too cheap?"

“......”

"I think we should give this operation a majestic, style-matching, and memorable codename, for example, how about 'Prison Break'?"
