Xia Zuoyi’s decision to bring more soldiers was undoubtedly very correct.
It was precisely because of this that they were able to successfully leave the royal city, get rid of the royal knights who were chasing after them, and temporarily stop at a safer place.
Nate Case had a face full of tears and snot, looking embarrassed.
His father, Marco Case, blocked an arrow in front of him in order to save him. At that time, the arrow hit the middle of his abdomen, and he immediately passed out in a coma. Fortunately, Walker and Taylor rescued him in time.
Marco Case was lying on the ground pale, bloodless lips, and torn robes… It looked as if he’s dead.
There was no more ointment on Walker’s person.
He stretched out his hand to probe Marco’s breath, which was very weak. There’s no way to implement effective treatment in a place like this…
Although he didn’t say anything, the expression on his face already showed everything.
Nate Case cried instantly, “Father, don’t die! As long as you can survive, I will obediently listen to your admonition in the future, I… Father?!”
“Cough, cough, cough.”
Marco Case suddenly covered his chest and coughed violently, making his face a little ruddy.
He opened his eyes and weakly said, “Cough…Nate, will you…really, will you be obedient…”
Xia Zuoyi was pleasantly surprised, “Walker, quickly help Lord Marquis up.”
Nate Case was stunned and rushed to help him, “Father, father, how are you?”
Marco Case leaned weakly on Walker.
After taking a few breaths, he stretched out his hand and forcefully pulled out the arrow in his stomach, but there was no trace of blood on the arrow.
Under the stunned or surprised expressions of everyone, Marco Case took out a gold coin that was hollowed in the middle from the place where his belt was fitted.
He looked at Xia Zuoyi and said, “This is the one that the earl threw out before…”
He picked up the gold coin that Xia Zuoyi threw out to attract the knight’s attention, and then casually placed it in the location of his belt. He didn’t expect it to save his life accidentally.
But the impact of the arrow is not small, coupled with his back injury… Finally, Marco Case fainted because of the exhaustion and pain caused by a series of encounters.
“God bless!”
Nate Case wiped away the tears on his face and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Xia Zuoyi can’t help but feel happy about it.
It’s indeed the blessing of the God of Creation.
He said, “You can’t go back to the royal city. You and Nate will leave with us.”
Marco Case nodded in agreement.
Nate has no opinion either. His mother died very early and fell into the arms of the God of Creation. Except for his father, he has no concern for the royal city now.
What’s more, now that things have reached this point, Bass Richards can’t let them go anymore. It’s the best choice to stay away from the royal city.
Although the ointment is exhausted.
But Udit also carried the plant medicine. He just had to find a safer place on the way to cook them, a place that wasn’t easy to be found by the royal knights.
As a result, Marco Case’s injury slowly improved.
Along the way, Walker takes Taylor and Barnard to kill the royal knights, clearing away the traces left behind, and finally successfully getting rid of them.
Now they’re getting closer and closer to Wissas and Fort Comoy.
Four days later in the middle of the night.
The soldiers that Walker sent back quickly notified Fernandi and others that they would meet at a distance from Fort Comoy.
Fernandi brought a group of soldiers to find them, “Where’s the Lord Earl?”
“Shhh.”
Walker put a finger on his lips, pointed in Udit’s direction, and whispered, “Lord Earl is asleep.”
They have been running away for days.
For a long time, Xia Zuoyi hasn’t relaxed, his emotions are tense, and even seldom rests. Adults can’t bear it, not to mention a child of his age…
Now they’re not far away from Wissas and Fort Comoy. The neighborhood is undoubtedly becoming safer and Fernandi is on his way, so everyone’s nerves can’t help but relax.
Xia Zuoyi is no exception.
With heavy eyelids, he finally closed his eyes and fell asleep under Udit’s patting and hug.
When Fernandi looked along with Walker’s fingertips, Xia Zuoyi was lying on Udit’s back, his cheek on Udit’s shoulder, snoring.
Looking closely, there are still dark circles that haven’t faded under his eyes.
Fernandi’s worried heart finally fell back into his stomach. His expression eased, “Come on, let’s go back.”
“Ao, ao.”
Xia Zuoyi was lying on the bed, and he felt something fluffy touching his forehead. There was a constant coquettish whining in his ear, and the surrounding breath was safe and familiar.
Xia Zuoyi’s eyelashes quivered and slowly opened his eyes…The first thing that caught his eyes was a ball of a white and fluffy tail.
He turned his head. Snowball was lying beside him, and looking down, Briquette was lying on his feet.
Feeling the soreness of his body, Xia Zuoyi sat up with his arms as support. He said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Briquette, Snowball.”
“Aooo.”
Seeing his movement, Briquette and Snowball suddenly climbed up, rubbed over him, and got into his arms.
Toby, who is outside, heard a voice coming from the room, then he shouted in surprise, “Lord Earl is awake!”
Not long after, Udit, Fernandi, and others all came in and gathered around the bed.
Xia Zuoyi, “How long did I sleep?”
Udit said, “Just for a night, my lord.”
“We returned to Wissas last night. The wound of Marquis Case has already been carefully treated by Adai, and Young Master Nate is accompanying Lord Marquis.”
Xia Zuoyi nodded, “That’s good.”
…
In the afternoon, everyone was almost settled down, including Marco Case, gathered in the study room to discuss business.
Xia Zuoyi asked, “What’s the situation in the royal city? Is there any news?”
Bass Richards’ plan to secretly threaten the lords came to light.
On their way back to Wissas, they did not forget to leave hidden sentries along the way to listen to the movement in the royal city to prevent missing important information.
Walker said, “After the church in the royal city was burned down, the temple was also destroyed on the second day.”
“Nowadays, it’s spreading all over Gadaat that Bass Richards’ killing of the royal family angered the God of Creation, who then brought down the punishment… Many of the manor owners and commoners are resisting him.”
But it didn’t work.
Xia Zuoyi speculated that the destruction of the church and the temple of Keys should be the work of the Pope. After all, no one dares to do such a thing in the royal city except him.
It seems that the fate of Bishop Bolton and the deputy bishop will be miserable.
He said, “Since Bass Richards dares to plan to take the throne, he will not care about the opinions and rumors of the manor owners and commoners.”
It was nothing more than a bad reputation, a reputation for an improper succession to the throne, and dissatisfaction.
Walker, “Yes, so the latest news from the sentries is that Bass Richards was crowned yesterday, and…”
“And what?”
Fernandi replied in a deep voice, “He killed eleven lords before ascending the throne.”
“Currently, six cities in Gadaat have become places without lords… I guess Bass Richards’ next plan is to send knights to regain these territories.”
Xia Zuoyi frowned, “Which cities are they?”
Udit showed him the map of Gadaat.
Walker, “There are two cities that are very close to Fort Comoy.”
“These two cities must not be recovered by Bass Richards, Lord Earl. We can bring these territories into ours before him.”
At the very least, they can’t passively wait for their death.
Udit, “But in what name?”
Marco Case, “I remember that the Earl and the former king were also related by blood… According to the laws of the kingdom, if the royal family does not have a direct heir, it can choose excellent people from the side branches to inherit the throne.”
After hearing his words, everyone in the room looked at the little lord in front.
Xia Zuoyi, “…”
He couldn’t help shaking his legs, put the map back on the table, and said, “Why do I have to be a king? I can always be a lord and turn Gadaat into my territory.”
Fernandi and Walker looked at each other. “Lord Earl means…?”
Xia Zuoyi, “None of these six cities can be left to Bass Richards. All of them must be included in my territory.”
“Not only that, mark all the roads and cities leading to Wissas and Fort Comoy, and send soldiers to attack and garrison them.”
Since Bass Richards is his absolute enemy, the initiative must be in his own hands.
Moreover, the number of black and white cavalry he had was completely beyond the reach of the royal knights.
Unless the lords who took refuge in Bass Richards gathered all the knights in their territory into the royal city, can there be a duel between them.
But as long as they are broken one by one, the threat will be minimized.
The dangers and pursuits they had suffered in the royal city of Keys will not be over. Keeping Bass Richards alive is a disaster waiting to happen.
Xia Zuoyi, “In addition to paying attention to the situation in the royal city, Fernandi, you order some soldiers to listen to the news in Gaynor, to prevent Bruno Green from contacting Bass Richards and sending knights to Gadaat for support.”
Fernandi nodded, “Yes, my lord.”
Xia Zuoyi is not worried that he will fail in the confrontation with Bass Richards.
As mentioned before, there aren’t many knights that the lords can have.
For example, the Duke of Gadaat has only 100 to 200 knights.
Xia Zuoyi’s conscription plan was originally intended to strengthen the defense of Wissas and Fort Comoy. The soldiers strictly follow the military training methods to continuously improve their physique and abilities every day.
From the number of people in a squad to the number of people in a platoon, and even between the ranks, they cooperate with each other tacitly and practice frequently.
Xia Zuoyi didn’t believe that the soldiers in his territory would lose to the knights of the royal city.
Now time is the key.
As long as he takes the lead in capturing these six cities that have lost their lords, he can gain the upper hand.
