When the soldiers guarding the gate saw that the other party had come to put out the fire, it was natural that they should let them in immediately, but here they were under house arrest important hostages whom the king had personally confessed, and no one was allowed to enter without the king's order. The officers of the city defense army saw that the other party was also guarding the door, and knew that there were big people living here, so they didn't dare to break in.

But when he saw the other party's hesitant look, he couldn't help but say anxiously: "You let us in quickly, otherwise even this house will be burned by fire." ”

The soldier guarding the door did not dare to take matters into his own hands, so he said, "Wait, I have to report it!" After saying that, the soldier guarding the door closed the door, turned around and ran inside.

The officer in charge of guarding Carter was found, and the doorman reported the matter truthfully, which put the officer in a difficult situation. He looked at the fire that lit up the night sky, and then at Carter, who was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, and couldn't make up his mind for a moment. If you don't let people in to put out the fire, you might really burn here, and you won't be able to save Carter if he burns his head. But the king had a strict decree that no one should be allowed to enter, otherwise it would be a capital offense.

The officer hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I'll go to the front and have a look." ”

So he followed the guards to the gate, only to see that the officers of the city defense army were already jumping and scolding in a hurry, and when they met, they shouted angrily: "Why did you come now? Don't you see that the fire has already burned? You all want to die!"

"There are very important people here, His Majesty has strictly ordered that no one should enter!" said the man who guarded Carter.

The city defense officer laughed angrily and said, "Okay, well, then you just wait to be burned to ashes!

At this moment, the soldiers in charge of guarding the backyard had already arrived, shouting: "Oh no! The backyard is on fire!"

Now that he couldn't think about it anymore, the officer guarding Carter had no choice but to say, "Okay, you guys come in, but don't trespass, you can't afford to have an accident!"

When the city defense officer heard this, he pushed the other party away and shouted to his subordinates: "Come in!"

Seven or eight waterwheels and dozens of soldiers of the city defense army rushed into the mansion and sprayed water to extinguish the fire in the place where the fire had already started, and the whole courtyard was suddenly in chaos. Carter was frightened by this battle in the courtyard, and hurriedly hid in a corner, when a dark shadow quietly approached Carter from behind.

As the fire grew louder, smoke billowed from the entire courtyard, and the servants who were in charge of the work ran out of the courtyard. The officer guarding Carter didn't care about these people, he just watched and didn't let Carter leave. At this time, the smoke was so thick that it was difficult for everyone present to open their eyes, and Carter knew that he could not go out, so he had to shrink into the corner and close his eyes.

Suddenly, Carter felt a blow to the back of his head, and he felt dizzy in his head, and he soon fainted. Carter, who had fallen to the ground, was quickly picked up and quickly walked to a water wheel. At this time, a soldier of the city defense army guarding the side of the waterwheel quickly pulled out a hidden grid from the side of the waterwheel, and a person quickly climbed out of the dark grid, and then several people stuffed Carter into it.

The whole process was extremely fast, and in addition to the chaos at the scene, there was billowing black smoke everywhere, and no one noticed this detail at all. The fire was gradually brought under control with the help of rescue, but some of the water trucks had bottomed out and they returned to fetch water. The watermill where Carter was hiding was also mixed in and left the scene.

Finally, when the fire was extinguished, the sky had begun to turn white, and looking at the messy mansion, the officer in charge of guarding Carter kept scolding his mother in his heart, but fortunately nothing happened, otherwise he would have lost his head. Looking at Carter, who was huddled in the corner of the wall and kept coughing, this officer also felt that the other party was very pitiful, and he couldn't escape if he caught fire, and these big nobles also had bad luck.

"Master Carter, I'm sorry. The officer said apologetically.

Carter looked very charred, with soot in his hair and face, and coughing incessantly in his mouth. When the officer saw that he looked uncomfortable, he didn't say anything, but he told someone to clean up quickly, and at the same time sent someone to report to the palace.

The real Carter is soon taken to the mansion where Narros and the others are hiding, which is actually only three blocks away from where he is under house arrest. Narros looked at Carter, who was still unconscious, and said to everyone with great satisfaction: "Everyone did a good job this time, but the task is only half completed, and it is only complete that we have to send him back to Elsira's house." ”

Everyone said, "It's all Lord Narros who commands it well!"

Naros waved her hand and said, "Okay, don't say it's useless, who is in charge next?" Everyone knew that Naros was not smiling, so they were not also annoyed. Then the bald merchant came out and said, "I'll be in charge next, rest assured, Lord Narros, I will send him home safely." ”

"He doesn't know us," said Naros, "so let him sleep all the way instead of frightening him." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, these men had been engaged in the most dangerous intelligence work for a long time, and looked at Carter like a cargo. An old man said in a hoarse voice: "This is simple, I still have some medicine, pour it on him, and ensure that he can sleep for several days." ”

"Okay, just use this method, and I'll leave the rest to you. With that, Narros left the mansion, she had more important things to attend to.

A few days later, Celia received a message from Sawan, informing him that Carter had been rescued and asking her to tell Aort. Celia was overjoyed to hear the news, as long as the king had no hostages in his hands, she could let go of the next action, otherwise she would always have some scruples.

When Alter heard the good news, he was so excited that he shed tears, the eldest son Carter's life as a prisoner for so many years was finally over, and the history of the Elshira family's domination would be changed from now on, and he couldn't suppress his excitement when he thought of this. Celia looked at her tearful grandfather and finally realized how much pressure this old man had been carrying for years.

The expectations of the clansmen, the trust of the ancestors and the parting of family affection, coupled with the intrigues in those politics, if she were replaced, I am afraid that she would have been overwhelmed......

The fire in Solandaniel, the royal capital, did not attract much attention, and the king stopped inquiring about it when he heard that Carter was fine. Curt, who had led his army to the royal capital, did not see his brother, and he and his army only took a short rest in the barracks outside the city, and then rushed to Pesanis at the king's urging.

At this time, not only the Elshira family sent troops, but also several other major families also sent troops to Pesanis under the pressure of the king, and the number of Correa troops increased to more than 100,000 for a while, putting on a posture of wanting to devour Pesanis alive.

At this time, Pesanis was already panicking, and at first everyone felt safe in the city, thinking that the Correan army would soon leave, because they had not attacked the big city once. However, Correa has more and more troops, and people begin to realize that this time Correa is really going to capture Pesanese.

Panic was spreading, and the commander of the Fourth Legion of the Holy Army, Lothrian, felt the pressure mounting, and there were reports of looting of the granaries, but fortunately, the army was still stable, and the riots were quickly suppressed. However, he knew very well that if the situation continued, he would not wait for the Correa army to attack the city, and he was afraid that there would be a large-scale riot in the city itself, and he still remembered the scene in the city of Salem vividly.

Fortunately, Sawan arrived in the city of Salem at this time, and Lothrian immediately had something to rely on, and he and Savin discussed it all night behind closed doors, and when he left Savan's office, his face was full of smiles, much to the surprise of the guards who followed him.

All this time, Lothrian looked more and more haggard day by day, which made the soldiers of the personal guard very worried, what would they do if the commander fell?

The organic soldier quietly guessed, "I guess it's going to be a battle with the Correa army, and there's nothing to worry about with Lord Savan here." ”
