Chapter 396: Headache

"Although Edlaide managed to escape from our encirclement, he also revealed that he had long since separated from the two princes, Curtis and Walder!"

"Edlaide is alone in Ziqing at the moment, but Curtis and Prince Walter have deep roots, and in order to ensure their safety, it is absolutely normal for their supporters to use some extraordinary means!"

"You're saying someone is trying to mislead us into thinking that Edlaide has been here?" asked Lillian, following the words of the 'master'.

"If I'm guessing correctly, Edlaide should really be here, and only in this way can he really play the role of covering the two princes!"

"Since the other party knows that we will arrive here in the near future, then they must also know that we have already divided our troops into three ways, so what's the point of them doing this?" Lilian really didn't understand this time, she looked at the 'master' with a puzzled face and asked.

"If you were a subordinate of the two princes, what considerations would you have for using such a tactic?" the 'Master' seemed to smile at Lillian, and asked without answering.

Caught off guard, Lilian was stunned, she looked at the 'master' dumbfoundedly, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"As long as their own safety is guaranteed, the two princes will now contact all possible contacts in order to make a comeback!" Gna replied in place of Lillian.

"The Grand Duke of Edlaide is their savior, and they should not betray him for any reason!

"What do they most want from the Grand Duke?"

"Military!" Gna saw Lillian and Bazel still staring at him dumbfounded. He had to publish the answer to his question himself.

"Does the general mean that the two princes want Edlaide to be the commander of their assembled army?" said Lillian and Bazel.

"Compared with his martial arts, Edlaide's military achievements are even more commendable! He even faintly became the 'number one general' in the Youlan Continent! If he were to command the rebels for Curtis and Walder. Your Princess Gladys is going to have a hard time sleeping!"

As soon as the words of the 'master' came out, the faces of the three of them couldn't help but change greatly. There was a deep worry in their eyes.

With Edlaide's shrewdness, he could easily guess that all the passages back to Dongyu, including the waterways, were no longer feasible, and because of his hostile relationship with Feng Qi, he was even less likely to be willing to throw himself into the net! ”

"On the one hand, the two princes are looking forward to Edlaide meeting them again, and on the other hand, they are a little worried that we will follow in Edlaide's footsteps. ”

In desperation, they had no choice but to be suspicious. It can make us mistakenly think that it is best to miss Edlade and turn the direction of the army. At best, it can delay us to a certain extent, as it is now!"

"Are you saying we should continue to chase south?" Although Lilian felt that there was something wrong with the 'master's inference, this result coincided with her after all, and she was happy to push the boat with the water.

"What if we do miss Edlaide?Once the army is activated, it won't be so easy for us to find him again!"

"Although this is unlikely, it is not completely impossible! General Gna, why don't you send someone to deliver a letter to the generals who have set up the checkpoint now. They are reminded to further intensify the inspection of passers-by to avoid Edredmont passing through the barrier. ”

"If you are still not reassured, I suggest that you leave a team of no more than a thousand men and assign a general to lead this team to search the place we have passed through again. ”

"Edlaide is in a recovery period at this time. His strength is not strong, such a force should be enough to deal with him!"

Hearing this advice from the 'Master', Gnar frowned.

In order to ensure that he can successfully drag Edlaide after he appears. Gna had already left behind the vast majority of the high-ranking warriors that Princess Gladys had assigned to him. Now. He has no one to send!

Expecting a thousand ordinary soldiers to besiege Edlaide without a master?, as soon as the thought flashed through Gnah's mind, he unconsciously smiled bitterly. It's so hard!

Think just a few days ago. He led more than 100,000 elites and dozens of high-level martial artists to surround the dense forest. I thought that Edlaide had no way to escape this time, but I didn't expect that he would easily jump out of the encirclement after being the last one.

What more than a hundred thousand elites can't do is handed over to a thousand ordinary soldiers, unless there is one existence among these thousand people who is enough to suppress Edlaide!

Thinking of this, Gna's eyes unconsciously drifted towards the 'master'.

The strength of the 'master' is definitely above Li Zijun at present, as long as he is in charge, Li Zijun will be unable to fly once he appears!

It's just that Gerner felt that the 'Master' seemed to be guiding him to ask for help, and Gerner didn't think clearly for a moment what the 'Master' was doing for him, and he became hesitant.

"Master, you have also seen that there is an extreme shortage of high-level martial artists on our side, and there is no one to adjust at all! I think that without a thousand-man team with a master, I am afraid it will be difficult to pose a real threat to Edlaide. Instead of that, we should alert the generals at each checkpoint and head south at full speed to try to deal with Curtis and Walter as soon as possible. Edlaide had better stay with them, if not, wouldn't it be easier for us to gather an army to hunt him down?!" Lilian looked at the helplessness on Gna's face, and her heart moved, and she said her thoughts.

"That's fine, after all, compared to Edlaide, Curtis and Walter are the confidants of the noble princess! Moreover, as long as we cooperate properly, we have every chance to clean up Curtis and Walder, and then turn back to besiege Edlaide!" "The 'Master' superficially supported Lilian's idea, but 'Cooperate properly', 'Have a chance', and 'Turn back' kept reminding Gna and Bazel that by the time they returned, Edlaide was more likely to have escaped from the Ziqing Empire.

"No, if Edlaide hadn't been with the two princes, he would most likely have regained his previous strength by the time he returned outside, or even escaped from our Ziqing. If that's the case, we're afraid we won't have a chance to get rid of Edlaide again!" Bazel was the first to grasp the 'Master's intentions, and he strongly opposed Lillian's Dao.

"I recommend that the 'Master' stay in charge! If Edlaide does make it to join Curtis and Prince Walder, our army will be enough to suppress him, and if he is still behind us, the 'Master' will not give him any chance!"

"General Gna, what are you waiting for?" Bazel anxiously urged Gna to make a decision.

"Master, would you like to stay and help us?" Gerner weighed up, and finally agreed to Bazel's proposal.

"I still think that Edlaide will go to join the two princes, and I am afraid that it will be useless for me to stay!" Although the 'master' was still snickering in his heart, he pretended to be unwilling on the surface.

"Master?" Bazel pleaded with anxious eyes.

"Well, since you all trust me so much, then I'll stay!" he sighed and nodded reluctantly.

"Then trouble the master!" Although Gnar guessed that the 'master' had bad intentions, in this case, he had to agree with Bazel's statement after weighing the pros and cons.

"It's you who are in trouble, I'm afraid I'm going to be idle!" the 'master' sighed again, a little helplessly.

The two sides then divided their forces, with Gna and Bazel leading their men to continue the 'pursuit' of Edlaide to the south, while the 'Master' and Lillian stayed behind to command the Thousand men to sort out their possible omissions.

Looking at Genner and Bazel in the distance, the 'master' felt a burst of pride in his heart, and successfully shook off the Ziqing army and took another step forward from their plan!

It's just that he didn't expect that Lilian would suddenly ask to stay in the thousand-man team when she was about to separate. Unable to find a reason to refuse Lillian, Gnawner, Bazel, and 'The Master' finally agreed to her request!

What the hell is this woman trying to do, did she find out what I am trying to do?' The Master peeked at Lilian, and a cold light flashed inadvertently in his eyes full of doubt at the same time.

Lillian didn't even realize her danger, she didn't even know what she was going to leave for, she just secretly hoped that the 'Master' would never meet Edlaide!

At this moment, Li Zijun was still worried that his identity would be discovered by Lilian, and he kept hurrying forward at the fastest speed of a donkey.

At first, he was worried about whether he would be able to keep up with the donkey, but after a while, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his speed was not affected by the drop in his strength, and he could easily follow the donkey.

The donkey, who had never met a strange man who could keep up with it on foot without riding it, felt challenged and began to increase his speed.

But no matter how hard the donkey tried, Li Zijun still followed it leisurely!

In this way, a man and a donkey hurried forward along an uninhabited path, and it didn't take long for Li Zijun to see the first checkpoint.

Before anyone found out, Li Zijun hurriedly grabbed the reins of the donkey and pulled it aside.

On the surface, he was resting on the side of the road with a donkey, but in fact, Li Zijun's eyes were constantly observing the situation at the checkpoint.

Seeing that everyone who passed by here had to be searched and checked, Li Zijun couldn't help but secretly complain, he was already starting to have a headache about how to get through here! (To be continued......
