Chapter 497 [Double Return]
Chapter 497 [Double Return]
"Dock, disembark, lend them the boat!"
Chen Daolin made such a decision, which surprised everyone in the church on the ship.
The church head tried to say something, but although Chen Daolin's expression seemed calm, his eyes were very firm, and he shook his head lightly.
The head of the church understands that this noble person who His Majesty the Pope has told him to be respectful has already made up his mind and will not change it.
Before coming, Heynckes had explained to several leaders of these churches, and when he treated Chen Daolin along the way, he must be polite and respectful. For Chen Daolin's decision, try not to refute it. If Chen Daolin tells him to do something, as long as it is not too excessive or out of line, he will try his best to be satisfied.
At this moment, although Chen Daolin decided to let everyone get off the ship and give the boat to these troops, this kind of practice made the people in the church inevitably feel a little humiliated. But after calming down, the head of the church thought about it, and it seemed that this was the only choice.
The officers in these armies showed a tough attitude, and they took out their church status to negotiate with them, but they didn't buy it at all - even if such an approach was unruly, they could certainly go back to the imperial capital afterwards, and then go back to the official relationship of the GuΓ² Temple of Light.
But tonight, this loss is decided!
Otherwise, what else can we do? Is it really here, fighting these armies head-to-head?
Those holy knights are not afraid at all, they will fight, and these "professional thugs" who have been trained by the church since they were children will certainly not be afraid. But as a leader in the church, it can't be so simple when it comes to thinking about things.
These troops are very resolute and very anxious, and it is obviously a big and earth-shattering case! At this time, it is by no means a smart move to tear their faces with them, and they will be investigated after the fact. If you make a big fuss, with the current momentum of the Temple of Light, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get any bargains.
......
The ship quickly docked and stopped, and these troops were quite polite - probably for the sake of the magician badge that Chen Daolin took out, they took the initiative to send a few small boats to pick up Chen Daolin and the others on the boat in small boats, and then a large number of soldiers got on the boat. Took over the big ship.
After Chen Daolin and the others came to the shore, they couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw the troops deployed on the shore.
Bands of the royal guards were already here, the archers were ready, and the cavalry seemed to be strong.
In the dark. After a rough count, I am afraid that the number of people is no less than a thousand, and on the road in the distance, there are still 66 troops coming in one after another, carrying torches, and marching in the distance.
Such a scene, such a scale. It also made those hard-minded people in the church inevitably have a bit of luck: fortunately, Fang Cai did not turn his face, otherwise, with the strength of the two sides, this loss would have been a big loss tonight.
The deputy commander of the Wangcheng Guards, as well as the officers of the Royal Forest Army, had a much better attitude, probably because he got the boat and looked at Chen Daolin's appearance. I couldn't figure out his identity and origin, and when I heard that Chen Daolin knew Gu Le, he was much more polite, and even ordered people to give up some tents used by the army in the distance for Chen Daolin and others to rest.
Several officers were sent to help them arrange their stationing, and at the same time said. As long as the thief is intercepted, the ship will be returned.
Chen Daolin was noncommittal, but took the people and received the rest tents provided by these troopsβthe resting place was quite a distance from the river bank. Even if there is a fight for a while, it will not affect here.
The army even sent some food and water.
The people in the church, though they were a little indignant, had no choice but to accept it.
Chen Daolin and his three disciples occupied the largest tent, and the head of the church saw that this noble man had no intention of communicating with him again, and was only afraid of pinching his nose to appease his subordinates.
In the tent, Chen Daolin glanced at his three disciples, hesitated, and his eyes fell on Sasha's body: "I'll leave for a while, Sasha will be in charge of the affairs here first, and you will listen to her arrangements for the time being." If anything, it's up to her to decide. β
Among the three disciples, Lucius was his first introductory disciple, but the son of the Doge, in addition to being quite talented in magic, really didn't have a lot of emotional intelligence - otherwise he wouldn't have done the stupid thing of running to the wedding scene to make a big fuss.
As for McQueen, this necromancer was almost fooled into a cook by Chen Daolin.
Sasha is an alchemist, but she is an extremely smart and clever person, and it is most suitable for her to be in charge.
The three young students wanted to ask something, but Chen Daolin waved his hand: "I'll go and have a look at the back...... The person who can kidnap Gu Le, I'm curious who has this ability. I won't be there for long, you will rest here for the night, and I should be back tomorrow before dawn. If I can't come back at dawn, you can go on the road first, and go on until you wait for me in the next town." β
The three young men hesitated for a moment, and they all nodded, Sasha thought for a moment and asked more: "Teacher, if you don't come back before dawn, those people in the church will ask......
"I have no comment to them. Chen Daolin said lightly: "Where am I going, do I still need to explain to them? If they are willing, they will go with you, if they are unwilling, you can go by yourself, just leave them alone." β
......
"Vomit!!!! vomit ......"
Lying in the grass on the shore, Fiona vomited so hard that she barely knelt up straight, but she still felt that her whole body was sore, and her hands and feet were weak.
Fiona was originally very poor in water, and was put into the water by Hook, and drank a lot of water along the way, and after coming ashore, her clothes were soaked. In the middle of the night, as soon as the cold wind blew, my whole body suddenly shivered.
Dixon, who was next to him, couldn't bear to see Fiona's appearance, so he took out a clean robe from the storage ring he was carrying and threw it over: "Miss Fiona, put it on." β
Fiona grabbed her robe, wrapped it around her body, looked up and glared at Dixon, then her eyes fixed on Hook: "Mr. Hook......! You do. Have you thought about the consequences!"
Hook smiled coldly: "The consequences, Miss Fiona, you can figure it out, I am saving your life, and I am also saving the lives of your boatload of tulips! If you are caught up by the pursuers or intercepted on the water, they will definitely fight to the death to protect you from being caught, and when the time comes." I'm afraid that none of them will survive! Are you going to kill those brave warriors for the sake of the so-called breath in your heart?"
Fiona was shocked in her heart, and told herself reasonably, what Hook said may be very reasonable, but after all, the breath in her heart was still holding back, and she gritted her teeth and said, "What you say may not be born." We don't necessarily can't get out......"
"Then do you want to gamble with the lives of a boatload of people to gamble your breath?" Hook sneered: "The head of the Tulip family, when did you use a stupid person like you to take the role?" Hmph...... It's just that there are too many stupid superiors like you who don't take the lives of their subordinates seriously, and they will ......"
Speaking of this, a trace of anger flashed in Hook's eyes, as if he remembered something from the past...... Then he shook his head and turned his head away.
Hook picks up the grass. I listened to the wind in the distance.
He walked to the 6th ground on the shore again, lay on the ground, listened to the ground with his ears for a while, then stood up and said slowly: "There is the sound of the army marching in front of us, and it is dangerous to go forward or backward. It's better to go all the way south and stay away from the riverbank. As long as we stay away from the riverbank, they may not be able to find us in the night, and by the time dawn we will be far away. β
As he spoke, he came up and dragged Fiona up, and said coldly, "Are you going by yourself, or will I carry you?"
Fiona spat out the river water in her mouth: "You don't need to carry it! I'm not as weak as you think......! If it weren't for you who attacked me. You think you can catch me so easily!"
Hook sneered and winked at Dixon, "Did you bring anything that would go fast?"
Dixon thought for a moment, "I did bring a broomstick, but it could only bear the weight of two people at most, and no more would have been able to fly." β
"Let's walk first. and so on to find a place to live. Find a way to get a horse. β
Hook sighed.
The three men left the shore one after another, and headed for the depths of the six places.
Although Fiona was annoyed in her heart, at this moment, the matter had come to this, she simply stopped resisting, calmed down and ran away together.
The three of them did not dare to take the main road, so they simply left the road and went into the depths of the wilderness.
This was originally a densely populated area in the inner belly of the Roland Empire, and it was not far from the imperial capital.
On both sides of the road, you can see a large area of farmland after walking for a while.
At this time, it was past harvest time, and the farmland was full of large fields of wheat stalks after harvesting, and the three of them got into the wheat stalks and walked all the way.
Hook took a knife in his hand and cleared the way in front of him, clearing the dense straw in front of him.
The three of them had been walking for about an hour or so, and suddenly they heard several loud noises in the distance behind them!
The three of them immediately stopped and suddenly turned around!
I saw a flame in the distance behind me.
Although it was far away, the light was very obvious because it was night.
Fiona's face changed, and Hook had already said in a deep voice: "It should be our ship, which was intercepted on the water." These guys, these guys must be attacking with fire!"
Fiona looked miserable, and Hook looked at her, but didn't speak. But it was Dixon, who kindly comforted: "You don't have to worry too much, didn't we confess when we left? Let your people encounter interception, don't die, surrender if you can't fight." Anyway, as long as they save Gu Le, they shouldn't be too embarrassed by those subordinates. Their goal is to catch you. As for those ordinary escort warriors, as long as they surrender, they shouldn't be too damaged. β
Fiona bit her lip hard.
Sure enough, the three of them stopped and watched for a while, and there didn't seem to be any other movement in the distance, and there wasn't too much sound of fighting, as if the fire was quickly dimming.
Come to think of it, the battle will be over soon. There shouldn't be too many deaths.
"Don't look at it, let's go. Hook whispered: "After they took the boat, they didn't find us, and when they knew that we weren't on the ship, they would send troops to search for us. β
The three of them walked in the field with difficulty, and after walking through a wheat field, they saw several families.
It's a pity that this village is too small. Hook searched around closer, but found no horses, but found a few sheep and a cow, and had no choice but to give up.
Beyond the village, there was a small forest, and the three of them immediately plunged into it.
When I walked like this for a little in the middle of the night, I calculated the time, and it shouldn't be too far from dawn.
But just when the hearts of the three of them gradually let go. Behind him, in the distance, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves!
The three of them quickly leaned down!
Hook leaned on the ground and listened for a while, then raised his head and lowered his voice: "Cavalry! There are a lot of people, at least two brigades or more!"
He pointed in two directions behind him: "Here, here, there are pursuers! How did they find it!"
Hook looked intently at Fiona and Dixon. Fiona's face was a little ugly: "How do I know that I don't have anything on me that will be revealed." β
"Is it a hound?" Dixon frowned, "Miss Fiona, you didn't wear any powder, did you?"
Fiona glanced at him: "Even if there were, it would have been gone for so long after soaking in the water!"
Hook shook his head: "No, it should be just a coincidence." Let's continue walking into the woods!"
The three of them got up and walked quickly into the woods.
But after walking for a while, he suddenly stopped!
Just because it's right ahead. There was also the sound of horses' hooves!
Hook's face was ugly, he quickly turned over and climbed a tree, looked ahead for a while, and when he came down, his eyes were gloomy: "Oh no! This forest is over...... There were cavalry in front, probably just passing by, outflanking us. β
As he spoke, he glared at Dixon fiercely.
Dixon immediately exclaimed, "What are you staring at me for!"
Hook snorted, "As long as you're there." Otherwise, it would be dark at night, and why would these pursuers not go anywhere, but they would just run here. β
"Hey, Hook, you're not making sense of that. Dixon rolled his eyes.
The cavalry outside the woods in front actually stopped, and it seemed that after chasing and searching in the middle of the night, it actually stopped by the woods to rest for a while.
The three of them did not dare to go any further. had to quietly hind his legs.
But after walking for a while, I saw a torch flashing in the woods in the direction behind me!
There was also the sound of soldiers shouting and whistling, apparently with a group of soldiers. He came into the woods with torches.
Including Hook, the faces of the three people suddenly became extremely ugly!
For they also heard the sound of hounds barking in the darkness.
"Oh no," Hook said quickly, "if they go into the woods, they may see the traces of our walk......
"Up the tree!" Fiona came up with an idea.
"Is there a stupider idea than this?" Hook shook his head: "If they see the traces of someone trampling in the woods, they will definitely focus on searching here, and at this time they will go up to the trees and hide, not waiting to be surrounded and killed? besides, they also have dogs!"
Hook said, holding the knife in his hand: "Go to the left! Hurry!!If you encounter an interception, don't stop, rush over! If you have a chance to take the horse, get on the horse and go first!
Dixon immediately raised his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I have a broomstick." It's good that you protect her. β
Fiona sighed: "That's it, you two have protected me here, and it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous." Don't you have a broomstick, which can carry two people, run by yourself, and leave me alone. β
Hook sneered: "The people of your tulip family are affectionate and righteous, are we just cowards who abandoned our companions and ran away?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Dixon: "You take this woman and go first, with a broomstick." I'm alone...... There is no concern, and it is more convenient to rush out and walk faster. ...... In case I am caught, I will simply surrender and save my life while Mr. Darling thinks of saving me. β
Dixon looked at Hook: "You...... Seriously?"
Hook laughed, but suddenly turned the knife back, and the back of the knife hit Fiona hard in the neck, and the woman rolled her eyes and fainted.
"You hold her and walk away with a broomstick!" Hook gritted his teeth, "Stop being verbose!
At this moment, I suddenly heard a shouting voice from the flickering torches in the woods behind me:
"There are footprints here!!Huh, and a broken step! Look! These branches have been trampled off! Someone!!"
Along with these shouts, there was soon the sound of whistles, as well as the sharp sound of whistles, which were all warning signals in the army.
Suddenly, the torches behind swayed, and I don't know how many soldiers quickly surrounded here.
"It's here!," Hook's face changed.
Dixon gave Hook a deep look: "Captain...... Take care! Don't die! If you are caught, I will ask the teacher to save you!"
So saying, the magician took out the broomstick, picked Fiona up, mounted it on the broomstick, and flew into the air, rising from the gap in the woods, and headed into the air.
Hook snorted, and with his knife in hand, he sped away in the direction of the woods to the left.
But after running less than fifty meters, I suddenly heard an exclamation in mid-air!
Immediately, I saw a ball of fire light light in the air!
Dixon rode a broomstick, hugged Fiona, like a bird with an arrow, and staggered into the woods, and fell into the canopy of a tree, crackling for a while, if it had not been for the hastily use of a wind magic before hitting the ground, Dixon was afraid that he would have broken his neck.
With a pop, the two fell in front of Hook, and a broomstick, which had been broken in two, also fell to the ground.
"Hell!"
Dixon got up, just not far in front of Hook, and he said angrily to Hooke: "There are court magicians! The emperor really values ancient music, and he actually sent all the court magicians! As soon as I went up, I was revealed!!Two magicians besieged me, and their strength was at the middle level!"
Hook's heart has completely sunk!
At this time, the shaking torches behind him were getting closer and closer, and these pursuers were very experienced, and they kept spreading out towards the wings, showing a tendency to encircle.
On the other side of the woods in front, the resting cavalry also heard the whistle, and there were already cavalry rushing into the woods towards here.
Hook's forehead was sweating more and more......
And at this time......
"Mr. Hook! Master Dixon...... And also...... Miss Fiona!"
The sound of Gu Le came from the direction of the torches behind.
The voice was cold, and it was angry!
"I told you, I will definitely repay your gifts! I didn't expect us to meet so soon!"
