Chapter 27: The People Trapped in the Valley

"Your Highness Garnes, please allow us to escort you out of the siege!"

In front of Garnes, the captain of the royal escort team who had arrived with him had a determined look on his face.

"With Master Hailan here, even if we sacrifice our lives, we must let His Highness get out of danger safely!"

His Royal Highness shook his head and smiled at the captain.

"Captain, because he was in danger, he left his companions and ran away by himself, which would only bring shame to the royal family of Lorris. ”

"However, they are just a mercenary group that collects money to do things......"

"No, it's buddy," Garnes accentuated, looking sternly at the captain, "don't say anything like that again, Captain, we'll be fine." ”

The captain gritted his teeth and nodded slowly.

"Understood, my Highness. ”

Garnes patted the captain on the shoulder, his eyes swept over the guards behind the captain, and then fixed his gaze on a blonde female knight with a pale face.

"Sylna, doesn't it matter if you get hurt?"

The knight finally let go of her bleeding lip.

“...... His Royal Highness Xie cared, only a small injury on his arm, which would not affect the battle. ”

Garnes shook his head.

"You've done a great job, Sheena. ”

Sylna didn't say anything.

Garnes came to Sheena.

“...... Knight Sylna, in the name of the royal grandson of the Kingdom of Lorris, I order you, in order to make up for your failure to protect my sister, and after all of us are out of danger, you must do your best to find the whereabouts of Sekaria, otherwise, the kingdom will deprive you of the honor of knighthood, you know?"

It was obviously a punishment, but Sylna's eyes seemed to suddenly have anger, and a strong determination emerged from the female knight's body.

"Yes! Sylna Vital swears with all the honor of a knight that I will protect Her Highness from danger and bring Her Highness Sekaria back safely!"

Garnes nodded, didn't say anything more, turned and walked back towards the center of the guards' cordon.

That's enough, isn't it?

"Master Heilan, how do you feel?"

In the valley, Garnes, who had just walked around among his companions, returned to the center of the cordon and asked respectfully to an old man in a dark blue robe who had been sitting there with his eyes closed.

The old man, the sage Hailan, slowly opened his eyes and nodded to Garnes.

"His Royal Highness is concerned. ”

"Where, if the master is affected by my relationship, it is really a great deal of regret. ”

Heilan looked at the young man in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although he had been in a semi-meditative state just now and was recovering his strength, he could still hear the conversation between Garnes and Eders.

Her own sister is uncertain about her life and death, and she is besieged by the enemy without reinforcements, but in this predicament, she can still influence her companions with such a calm attitude to maintain morale, and even lose no time in showing favor to the nobles who may fall to her side.

Heilan became the royal enshrinement magician of the Loris Kingdom as a sage more than ten years ago, at that time Garnes's father, the eldest prince Richard, was also at this age, should it be said that the tiger father has no dogs, Garnes is almost the same as his father, obviously only twenty years old, but he has the calm and calm of a natural king, and almost ruthless reason.

Do you really not care at all?

"Your Highness, if the other party catches His Highness Sekaria, they will definitely come to threaten us. ”

Garnes's handsome expression was stunned, and then he still looked calm, but Heilan could feel that the young man's expression was slightly relaxed.

Even if he is not caught, if the other party says this, it will undoubtedly hit his own morale, and the other party never mentions this matter, the only explanation is that the other party does not even know about the fact that Sekaria is lost.

For smart people like Heilan and Garnes, such a conclusion is not difficult to reason, but in this case, it is better to be able to hear it from someone else's mouth than to comfort yourself.

It can only be said that Sekaria's accident was not due to the other party's arrangement...... Hopefully she's lucky. ”

Heilan was very clever not to answer, and waited for a while before speaking.

"I didn't expect Prince Naris to do such a great thing this time. ”

"Yes, if it weren't for this time, my father and I wouldn't have known that Uncle still had such a hole card disguised as a mercenary group in his hand," Garnes' face sank, "No wonder Uncle's intelligence network has obviously been a little stronger than us in recent years." ”

"However, is Prince Naris planning to use this time to have a showdown with His Royal Highness the Grand Prince?" Hailan said in confusion, "He did not hesitate to expose his secret hole cards all along, and provoked opponents like the Silver Wing Mercenary Group, and even Tucker, an old thing, took action, so he is so confident that he can hide from the world?"

Tucker is one of the three sages of the Loris Kingdom who stands on the side of the second prince Naris, and for some reason, he blatantly appeared on the side of the Black Tiger Mercenary Mercenary Group in this attack, and dragged Master Hailan one-on-one during the battle.

For Heilan, although he and Tucker Sage work for the same country, their camps are different, and their personalities are not very compatible, and even magic is the main water system and the main fire system, which is almost two people who are completely out of tune.

"My strength is similar to that of Tucker, and he alone can only hold me back like he did during the day, and although the Silver Wing Mercenary Group suffered some losses due to sneak attacks during the day, in fact, the masters in the group did not lose much, and it is impossible for such a large mercenary group with deep background to suffer losses under the same opponent one after another......"

Analyzing the current situation, Heilan became more and more incomprehensible.

“...... No matter how you look at it, it's close to a five-to-five situation, what does Prince Naris want to do?"

"Despite his impatience, Uncle Garnes is not a reckless man, and he must have his cards. ”

"Your Highness, forgive me for being a little blunt," Heilan said to Garnes, "If they really target you, then the best chance is the sneak attack during the day today, I was entangled by Tucker, the Silver Wing mercenary group fell into chaos because of the other party's sneak attack, and the only thing that could stay with His Highness at that time was a small team of royal guards, if the other party had any hole cards, it should also be used at that time to succeed." ”

"There is an explanation," Garnes analyzed, "first, the other side has another purpose, and second, this hole card has a more important meaning, and Uncle does not want to show it like this." ”

Heilan's expression became solemn.

"Hopefully this is the first explanation, if the opponent's hole card is the same as Tucker, no, as long as it is a six-star arcane mage or a master level or above Douqi user, it is enough to make the stalemate one-sided. ”

"Really?" said Garnes, "I'm the opposite of the Master. ”

"Your Highness is worried that the other party has another purpose?"

"No, I just don't think it's worth it for my uncle to show all his hole cards at once for me here," Garnes muttered as he stared at the dawning sky overhead, "Even if they do kill me or Sekaria, it will be difficult for them to wipe out all of the Silver Wing mercenaries without leaving a trace, as long as the truth reaches the kingdom of Lorris...... The crime of killing blood relatives is not something that can be easily escaped. ”

However, why is the other party really in an undying posture now, uncle, he really wants his own life? Garnes frowned, even if his death would weaken his father's capital to compete for the throne, but the charge of killing relatives obviously hit Uncle Naris harder, and his intuition told Garnes that his uncle's action must have some other purpose.

Faintly, Garnes felt as if he had caught something, but before he could seem to understand, suddenly the captain of the guard and another middle-aged man hurried over.

Captain of the Silver Wing Mercenary Regiment?

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

It was the first time since he was attacked that he had seen the leader of a large mercenary group calmly and his own escort captain, who usually had no expression, panicked like this.

"What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, Your Highness......" The captain of the guard looked bitter, as if he didn't know how to say it.

On the other side, the leader of the Silver Wing Mercenary Regiment turned pale, and spoke with fear and a hint of despair.

"Your Highness Garnes, I'm sorry for this escort mission, I'm afraid we're going to fail...... The other party, I don't know what method was used, actually got one of the Warcraft Forest...... The help of the Thunderhorn Rhino. ”

As soon as the words fell, an earth-shattering roar came from the direction of the mouth of the valley.

Garnes' eyes widened as he looked at the huge figure of the monster that could be vaguely seen from the mouth of the valley.

Thunderhorn Giant Rhino, a huge high-level demonic beast that lives in the depths of the Warcraft Forest, although it does not belong to the top-level Warcraft that can transform into people, but its huge body, amazing defense, and the explosive thunder that can be launched by the giant horns, even some of the weaker top-level Warcraft are not willing to provoke it easily.

Now that the sage master Hailan on his side will be entangled by the sage of Tucker, this huge magical beast is undoubtedly a devastating existence for ordinary mercenary groups.

"How is it possible," Master Rao is Hailan couldn't help but be stunned by the news, "Aren't the Thunderhorn Giant Rhinos all living in the depths of the Warcraft Forest and never dealing with the outside world, how can they help them!"

Garnes didn't think of it with Heilan, but became even more suspicious of his uncle Naris's purpose, you must know that if the existence of the thunder-horned giant rhinoceros is concealed like this, if the old king dies in the end, when the two brothers launch an internal war in the country, as long as such a giant beast appears on the battlefield, then it will definitely be the ultimate war weapon at the city level that can inflict a huge blow on the other side.

But now, Uncle Naris has shown the hole card of the Thunderhorn Giant Rhino, and the uncle's purpose is definitely not himself.

After a cold war, thinking of the worst possible thing, Garnes looked at Master Heilan and couldn't help but feel a bitterness.

...... Uncle, you are really desperate for the throne.
