Chapter 245: I Had to Fight 10
Without further ado, the two of them secretly took two fast horses from the camp without anyone noticing, took some necessities and set out on their way.
On the way back, Ed roughly explained to the other party what happened to him below, "It turns out that there is such a secret, with this information, there seems to be a new explanation for what happened back then!" Raphael sighed, "The Grand Duke of Burgundy coveted the technology in the ruins, and lured you King Roland to lead the team with a lie of half the truth, indirectly killed him, and was able to profit the most in the subsequent war, Philip III is really a great man!"
As for Ed's question, he also answered it from his own perspective, "You want to know why Burgundy wants to kill you, why did he use such a painstaking method instead of doing it directly? I am afraid it is because of the relationship between the knights behind you!" Raphael pointed to the location of the badge on Ed's chest.
"Although they didn't see this directly, they must have known from the rumors that you are very favored by the envoys of the Knight Association, and it is not easy to go back to what happened in the past through abnormal means to a giant organization like them, as long as it is related to its members, whoever killed him will know that they may have taken this measure to avoid this kind of trouble, and it is also because the Grand Duke is convinced of the strength of the power in the ruins, and it is not easy to drive King Roland to death in the first place, and it is not easy to clean up your little knight, who would have thought that you could get out of itοΌβ
Looking at the strange gaze in the other party's eyes, Ed turned his gaze, even he didn't believe that he could come out of it alive at that time, the enemy's challenge level was too high, a lot beyond the ability of a normal knight. If I didn't have such a thing as a psionic group, or if I had come up with a way to break the enemy later. The other party's plan to kill people with a knife must have succeeded!
"Now that you know what evil things are down there, are you church going to sit idly by?" Ed also wanted to use the other party's power to help him with the task!
"Hmm, that's not easy to deal with, that kind of guy!" he groaned. Raphael then suddenly became cheerful, "By the way, I was almost stunned by you, although the other party is an evil existence, but he has been obediently staying underground and has not come out to disturb others, but the guys outside always want to enter and challenge them to obtain treasures, and it is impossible to say which side is wrong!"
"This ...... Is this okay?" Ed looked at Raphael with a serious expression, and wondered if the other party really wanted to help the "innocent" evil force to complain that its peace had been destroyed by humans!
They also tried to avoid checkpoints along the way, and Raphael seemed to have a plan in mind. Just leading the way ahead, Ed believed that he didn't ask too much, just seized the time to mobilize the spiritual energy to recover himself, and tried to ensure that the injuries he received in the battle with the Colossus would not affect the possible battles in the future.
Although the Burgundian knights set out early, they did not rush with all their might, and finally caught up with them in the second half of the night.
In the woods beside the road, Ed looked at the scattered fires in several buildings, and recognized that this was a small station they had passed by before, and the knights' horses were also exposed in the back fence. Is his companion Chesterton imprisoned inside?
"Wait here a moment, I'll be back soon!" commanded Ed, and Raphael slapped the docile horse twice, and the latter shook his neck in comfort. He leaned over to the magician affectionately, "Pretty little mare, that's the end of our date tonight!"
Ed pulled down a few black lines on his head. I rolled my eyes unconsciously, and when I looked at it again. But they have lost the other party's figure in the field of vision, although the surrounding light is not good. But he was confident that he would not let go of any of the insects on the grass, but the other party disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The war horse, which had just been intimate with its master, seemed to be frightened, and raised his limbs back uneasily, Ed hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, and then quietly began to wait, in the field in the dark night, the sound of insects was also weakened by the cold temperature, and the young man was engrossed in abandoning the noise, and only the sound of people sleeping in the front checkpoint was left between heaven and earth.
"One outside, two inside!" With the help of the sound of breathing, Ed managed to find the sentry positions that had not yet slept, at least one of them was knightly, and the boy secretly admired Barlogo's practice of not letting down all his vigilance after the success of his mission.
Under this condition, let him do it himself, I'm afraid it is very likely to evolve into a hard one, first sneak attack and kill the night watchman, and then it depends on luck, whether he will be discovered by the remaining two ordinary guards, if he is lucky, he may not be disturbed until he rescues Chesterton and joins him, and then I am afraid that he will be forced to kill out, and it is impossible for Barlogo not to leave a back hand on the knight and hand over everyone in the team to a bronze knight safely.
Just as Ed was still scrutinizing and trying to discover the hidden sentry that might be hidden, there was a sudden sound of a heavy object falling on the grass behind him, not heavy but very abrupt, and the boy looked back, only to see Raphael patting his clothes lightly, spreading his hands to himself, and the person lying at his feet was his companion.
"He's been restrained by Ballogo's psionic powers, you can help him untie it!
Needless to say, Eddard found the local power circulating in Chesterton as soon as he reached into Chesterton, and soon after he expelled it with his own psionic energy, his companion regained consciousness and mobility.
During this time, he looked up and thanked Raphael, it was beyond his imagination to be able to meet his companion so easily, it would not have been possible without the other party, and as for the pretext that he could not be relieved of his state of restraint, Ed certainly did not believe it.
"Once everyone is together, Eddard, you should go back as soon as possible!" Raphael casually applied a recovery spell to Chesterton, and the visible combat scars on the latter's body quickly healed and disappeared, "It's not safe for you to stay here any longer, not to mention that things may not be so simple!"
Ed's eyes froze, "You mean ......"
Raphael did not follow his thoughts and speculate on what the Archduke of Burgundy might do next, but instead extended the conversation in another strange direction.
"Remember the former Roland Church personnel who were sent on secret missions, I heard that they had recently become close to the church forces in Burgundy and Ingier, which is unusual, and it is likely that the important task conveyed above has progressed. Seeing Ed's confused look, Raphael couldn't reveal the secrets of his church, so he had to say, "Anyway, you should take him back quickly!" (To be continued......
