Chapter Thirty-Six: Departure Again
Under the pressure of huge survival, the Locke family burst out with amazing action, packing up a full twelve carriages overnight. Although they all made a lot of money under Renard's indulgence, they couldn't help but show disappointment on their faces.
Human greed** is always endless, like a goldfish in water, it keeps eating, and it is too late to regret it until it breaks its belly. When the Locke clan opened the manor's granary and armory, they found that they would not be able to occupy even a tenth of the share, even if they tried their best. So they had to turn to Renard again and beg him to mobilize the family's private soldiers to help.
However, at this time, the warriors of the Locke family had been included in the battle sequence of the Isttalon army and were directly under the jurisdiction of El. El did not directly refuse the request of the Locke family, but made a very harsh request, the warriors could help carry the items, but they were only responsible for carrying them. If Renard agrees, they can keep a little personal goods for themselves, but they are absolutely not allowed to bear weight to affect combat effectiveness.
Faced with El's grandiose reason, the Locke family had no choice but to continue to go to Tiana to borrow a car with a shy face...... Then, of course, he politely declined.
Although there were quite a few wagons in the exiles' ranks, including several caravans and private property, there were more than one hundred and eighty, and the number of carriages in the town of Lille directly exceeded two hundred, but even this was still not enough. In addition to the food, tents, luggage and other supplies gathered along the way, there are thousands of bear children who are eagerly awaiting.
In fact, it is almost impossible for them to support a full day's trek with their physical strength, and many times the children take turns resting in the carriage to keep up with the adults.
In such a situation, you would like to borrow a wagon to load your property? What are you kidding! Why don't you eat...... Even if you say so, we don't have a place to load it, okay, okay, let me figure it out.
On this very night, the insistence of the Locke family turned into a joke, and they silently watched as the Isttalon soldiers diligently emptied their possessions like ants, and their faces were as white as earth. Even if you are unwilling, there is no other way, and after experiencing family civil strife, the population of the manor has plummeted. If the Istalon people are allowed to move out, they will at least be given their share in the future, but if they stay here, they will really lose their value.

"If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place. Didn't they think of this kind of ending?" El couldn't help but smile as he stood in the distance on horseback and looked at the faces of the Locke clansmen.
"If the Locke family were still united, this wouldn't be a problem. Wearing a brown-red scarf, Lolana sat alongside him on a docile warhorse. She stretched out her hand and pointed to the brightly lit place of the manor, and the corners of her face and mouth were slightly upturned, revealing cute little tiger teeth, and grinning.
"After that civil strife, all the people who had been loyal to Renard were dead, and what remained was either Mihalen's lackeys or wobbly wallgrass. It's not that Renard doesn't know that the best way out for the Locke family now is to unite as one, but those two-faced clansmen are not as trustworthy as us. ”
"Another part of the Locke family is the inhabitants of the town of Lille, but in times of civil strife, the Locke family is too busy to take care of themselves and can only watch the town of Lille be left to the mercy of the people. Although De Laere kept the Confederate Army restrained for the purpose of long-term occupation, it was only relative restraint without thinking about it......"
After all the hardships they have endured, the inhabitants of Lille no longer trust the Locke clansmen, preferring instead to pin their hopes on Renard, who plays a tragic role in the story. The rift in the Locke family widened little by little, and gradually became uncontrollable. ”
"At present, what maintains the hypocrisy and harmony between the two parties is only blood and family affection. Renard hated these people from the bottom of his heart, but because of his blood ties, he had to fight for their right to live. However, the people of the Locke family regard this kind of family affection as a reckless reliance, and they stubbornly believe that Renard still needs the strength of the family, but they themselves have long lost the qualification to represent the family, and they have neither value nor power......"
"So ......"
"So please just tell me the final conclusions, okay?" El rubbed his temples and groaned in pain, "I can understand every word you say, but I don't understand what it means at all." ”
"It's really not a city government that is a superior at all. Lolana sighed, glanced at El with a look of hatred for steel, and said helplessly, "So the conclusion is that Renard will completely tear his people apart because of our suggestion." From now on, His power will be at your disposal. The Locke clansmen will take refuge in Tiana's side and continue to exert their residual heat. ”
"Is it really good for you to calculate an honest person from head to toe like this?" El looked at the vicissitudes of Renard's face in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a feeling of sadness in his heart.
"You can't say that...... I'm thinking about you. Lolana raised her little tiger teeth, and her smile became brighter and brighter.
The meeting of the exiles had decided to set off yesterday, and before dawn the industrious women had begun to pack their bags in an orderly manner. Smoke rose from the camp, and the sound of cooking in pots also woke up the residents of Lille Town.
According to the news from the scouts behind the palace, the undead in the city of Isttalon seem to have moved, and this most likely means that the war in that city has been decided. This is definitely not good news for the exiles, who must leave immediately.
According to the plan planned by Androv and Tiana, the exiles would follow the edge of the Kemal family's province of Sarin to the west, through the uninhabited brown hills, and then borrow from the lands of another southern lord to reach the Camille Moor, the domain of the boar lord Churkin.
Prior to this, Tiana had sent messengers to Churkin, but due to the long distance, she was afraid that she would not be able to return in a short time, which also brought uncertainty to the trip. Tiana knew almost nothing about the lord's situation, so she was a little uneasy until she met with Lolana and really settled down. Because Lolana assured her that the boar lord would definitely accept the exiles of Istalen.
Although Lolana also did not know the specific situation of the lord, her judgment was based on the factional struggle and political considerations of the nobles in the Oakland Kingdom, as well as her grasp of people's hearts. The various influencing factors in this, if you explain it to Er, it will inevitably waste a lot of words, so the eldest lady didn't mention it in front of El at all this time, and El was happy to pretend not to know.
In addition, another reason for leaving today is the explanation of De Laere. After the day's negotiations, Delaire sent a group of scouts to Isttalen. Although there are concerns about the survival rate of these people who do not know the truth, there is a buffer time of these two days, which is more than enough for Delaire to collect the corresponding information.
If he still wants to stay here, of course, El doesn't mind letting him help block the knife, what he really needs to be aware of is that this guy will inevitably jump off the wall and suddenly attack the exile. Although in Lolana's eyes, the nobles' ways of acting are traceable, and they are not worth paying attention to. However, El has always been afraid to speculate on the discipline of those noble lords with the greatest malice, especially since the other party also has demonic blood, which is even more difficult to understand.
I have to say that in some respects, El's intuition is indeed very effective, and De Laere is indeed the kind of opponent who does not play according to the routine. While Elri's troops were waiting for him, he actually sent someone to bring an invitation, officially inviting Elle and Tiana to the dinner.
"This slut, knowing that we are leaving in the morning, what kind of dinner are you invited......" El glanced at it and tossed it aside, he knew very well that Delaire would never be so perfunctory in the invitation he handed to Tiana, and that he was just piggybacking on himself.
The inhabitants of the town of Lille followed the exiles in an orderly manner under the command of the soldiers, and the heavily overloaded carriage of the Locke family hurried to follow. Seeing that the team had already set off, and the Southern Army had no obvious intention of action, El relaxed a little and waved his troops to prepare to evacuate.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look at the heavens!
El jerked his head up, and subconsciously stretched out his bow and arrows to look in the direction the soldier was pointing. In the clear sky, a small black dot was gliding rapidly towards it. It was too fast, and it was significantly larger than a normal bird, which attracted the attention of the soldiers.
But more importantly, the direction in which the black dot flew was Istalen!
El narrowed his eyes and unleashed the power of the insight rune to stare carefully into the past, and when he saw the true face of the comer, he couldn't help but turn to the side.
"That's not going to be ......," Lorana tugged at the corner of his coat behind her, her voice shaking.
"It's a gargoyle, a gargoyle. El took a deep breath and whispered.
Gargoyles are man-made tomb golems that are beloved by many necromancers due to their ability to fly and primary intelligence. Isttalon is already overrun by the undead, and it is not surprising that gargoyles appear.
However, the constructed gargoyles that radiated a lilac arcane glow seemed to be the only one in El's mind. That was his titular teacher, the great alchemist Stephen. (Go read OM) (Jiangsu.com)
