Although Correa is now extremely poor, not only the soldiers have no food, but even the forage for the horses has been lost, it can be said that it has reached an extremely difficult time. However, the fear of the Dark Devils was far more terrible than hunger and fatigue, and many of them gritted their teeth and persevered, urging their horses forward, hoping only to see the city sooner, so that at least they would not have to worry about being attacked by the Dark Devils in the middle of the night.

After walking for two days, they did not encounter the pursuit of the Dark Devil Army, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they had finally gotten rid of the terrible Dark Devil Army. Unexpectedly, on the night of the third day, the Dark Devils reappeared in the wilderness not far away. This time, without Kells' order, everyone immediately got on their horses and ran away as soon as they could.

Along the way, Correa was like a frightened rabbit, not daring to stop even for a second, some of the horses were so tired that they were foaming at the mouth, and the soldiers could only abandon their horses like partners, and with tears in their eyes, they replaced other horses and continued to move forward. Fortunately, Correa had a lot of horses, and there were plenty of spare horses in addition to everyone's mounts, so as not to tire down all the horses.

They ran all night in a panic, and finally got rid of the Dark Devils at dawn, when one of the staff told Kells that it was not far from their destination, the small city of Marel, and that they should be able to reach it before dark with a little more effort. Kells immediately relayed the news, and the demoralized troops, as if they had eaten a full meal, regained their spirits, and continued their march towards Marel despite their weariness.

In the evening, the Correan army, which was already at the end of their crossbows, finally saw the small city of Marel, but when they approached the city, they were startled by the flags fluttering on the city's head, and saw that the white banner of the Holy Cult Army was flying on the city.

"When was this place occupied by the Holy Cult Army?" Kells was speechless in surprise, he tried to recall, it seemed that he had never heard of any war here, if this place was really occupied by the Holy Cult Army, there should have been news to the royal capital, there should have been no such news in his impression.

Perhaps it was the secret surrender of the Holy Cult Army...... But this doesn't seem to make sense, what the Holy Cult Army is doing in occupying such a small city, and this is not a strategic location. Kells thought about it for a long time, and he didn't understand how the Holy Cult Army could be stationed here.

His lieutenant asked, "My lord, do we want to enter the city?"

Although Kells didn't have a good impression of the Holy Army, what choice did he have now but to enter the city, even if he was looked down upon by the Holy Army, he couldn't leave the army in the wilderness, and it was a question of whether they would have the strength to escape if the Dark Devil Army chased them again.

"Send someone to ask first, and if the other party allows us, we will enter the city. Kells said.

Soon, the men who had been sent to negotiate returned to report that the defending army had agreed to allow Correa to enter the city to rest. Kells secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the other party would refuse, and then he would be in a dilemma. When the soldiers heard that they could enter the city to rest, they all cheered loudly with excitement, for the escape of the past few days had almost tormented them into a nervous disorder, and they could not even sleep, and if they continued like this, they would fall without a fight.

Correa marched into Marel, and the city's inhabitants stood on both sides of the road and watched the sudden arrival of the army curiously. Correa, who has always been proud of the big 6, looks like a lost dog, one by one looks extremely embarrassed, even the commander looks down, and some ignorant children have pointed at Correa and laughed.

The soldiers were too ashamed to look up, so they walked forward in silence, and if there was a crack in the ground, they would surely get into it at once.

This small town was originally small, originally only a few tens of thousands of inhabitants, but now the streets and alleys are crowded with people, and it seems that many refugees have gathered in this kind of small town. Kells unconsciously noticed this phenomenon, and he was very surprised, how could there be so many refugees here, and what was the matter with the Holy Cult Army?

Just when he was wondering, the soldier led a fat middle-aged man to him.

The soldier introduced: "My lord, this is the lord of this city, named Colt. ”

The chubby middle-aged man nodded at Kells, a flattering smile on his face, as if trying to please Kells. Kells usually disliked people like this the most, but now he didn't have the heart to care about anything. Kells came up to Colt and asked, "Which lord is Lord Colt from?"

In Correa, there are mainly several big families controlling various places, and there are many small lords under the big families, and many things are difficult to do without asking which family the other party belongs to, so the nobles of Correa must first find out which big family the other party belongs to when they meet.

Colt scratched his head and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm not a family, I'm just a businessman." ”

Taken aback, Kells widened his eyes and asked, "Merchant, how did you become the lord of the city? Who appointed you?"

Colt smiled: "It was the Holy Cult Army who asked me to temporarily manage here, I just arrived last month, adults don't know, there are too many things here, people come every day, and the streets are full of people, it's really troublesome......"

"What? What about the original city lord, whose territory is this?" asked Kells, forcibly interrupting Colt.

"The original lord of the city...... I don't know either, but I've heard that I've gone to the south, by the way, it seems to have gone to Hironis. Colt said: "If it weren't for the Holy Cult Army hiring me to manage here, I wouldn't have come, it's too hard here, and I've lost a lot of weight......"

Kells listened to Colt's words, and only felt that his mind was blank, what was born here, the original lord ran away, and a merchant was changed to manage the city, what kind of reputation was the Holy Cult Army doing? Kells felt that this world suddenly became strange.

Then he asked a lot of questions, and finally had a general understanding of the matter, it turned out that the lord here was afraid of being attacked by the Dark Devil Army, so he hit it off with the Holy Cult Army who came to the door, and the Holy Cult Army arranged for the lord to go to the south and entrusted this place to the merchant Colt to manage.

At the same time, the Holy Cult Army set up a teleportation well in the city, and every day the people were constantly moving people to the south, and the people from all over the vicinity heard that they could go to the south from here, so they all rushed to live in the city and waited to be transferred. What is even more surprising to Kells is that this situation has been going on for more than a month, and tens of thousands of people have been evacuated.

Kells was terrified, if this continued, the people in Correa would run out, and then the whole country would become an empty shell. He felt an unspeakable anger at first, the Holy Cult Army had gone too far, and actually used this method to disintegrate Correa. But Kells is no ordinary person after all, and he quickly controls his emotions and calms himself down.

Kells revisited the matter, at first he only thought that the Holy Army's actions were to hollow out Correa, but then on second thought, a non-populated Correa didn't mean anything to the Holy Army, and I'm afraid they didn't do it for Correa.

"Is it because of the Dark Devils?" Kells thought to himself, "If it's because of the Dark Devils, it makes some sense, could it be that the Holy Cult Army is planning to give away the entire north to the Dark Devils?"

Kells felt that there must be something hidden in this, so he asked Colt, "Are there any Saints in the city now?"

Colt said, "The Holy Cult Army has a battalion in the city, but it seems that it is out of the city today, and it will probably be back tomorrow. ”

Kells thought for a moment and said, "Alright then, please arrange for me to meet with them when they come back." Please also help arrange for my army to be stationed in the city temporarily. ”

Colton nodded and said: "Of course, there is no problem with this, the adult's army can be temporarily stationed in the south of the city, where there is a vacant land, and please send someone to fetch some food with me, I think the adult's army should not have brought anything." ”

Seeing that Colt was very thoughtful, Kells's attitude towards him was much better, and he said, "Then there is Lord Lao." ”
