Chapter 1168: Allen's Escape

Just when Su Cheng was sleeping soundly with Alyssa in his arms——

Somewhere in the woods west of Pendragon.

"Hahaha……"

Allen was breathing heavily and wiping the sweat that was about to drip from his chin, while craning his neck to look behind him.

"You should be able to escape here."

Allen said solemnly.

"Even if Su Cheng sends pursuers to chase me, it is unlikely that the pursuers of the Michael Knights will pursue me to this place."

After saying that, Allen turned his head and looked at Ebel beside him:

"Let's spend the night here tonight."

As soon as Allen finished speaking, Ebel roared in an unceremonious and rough tone:

"knew!"

After realizing that the situation was over, Allen made a quick decision and fled quickly with Ebel.

He didn't take any bodyguards with him, just fled with Ebel.

The reason why he didn't bring any bodyguards was because he was afraid that the bodyguard would betray him and take advantage of his unpreparedness to chop off his head to plead guilty to the Michael Knights - this kind of thing was not uncommon.

Allen didn't trust his personal guards enough to trust them with his back.

In order to ensure that they could escape far enough in one go, Allen and Ebel took two horses and took turns to escape without stopping until they reached the woods before finally stopping.

Allen understood Ebel's bad mood now, so he didn't care about his rude tone just now. After taking him and Ebel's horse to rest and eat grass, he saw Ebel stamping on the other side. He kicked his feet and roared through gritted teeth:

"Just a little bit closer! Just a little bit closer! We were almost on the verge of capturing Pendragon, the capital of the Britannia Empire! But we were just so close!"

After the roar fell, there was already a hint of crying in Abel's voice.

Allen didn't like Abel very much.

There are many reasons for not liking Ebel:

Ebel's attitude towards him was never friendly.

Ebel is a professional spy who is good at reconnaissance, instigating rebellion and other methods that make people feel uncomfortable.

…

There are many reasons for not liking Abel, but the main reason is Abel's absolute loyalty to the Frank Empire and the royal family of the Frank Empire.

For the sake of the Frank Empire and the royal family of the Frank Empire, Abel was willing to do anything and could do anything - Abel's almost pathological loyalty was well known in the Frank Empire.

It is precisely because of Ebel’s almost pathological loyalty that

It was only then that he was deeply trusted by the current emperor of the Frank Empire, Shade, and that made him one of the few confidants of Emperor Shade.

Therefore, Allen knew very well-Ebel must have been filled with grief.

Breaking through Pendragon, the capital of the Britannian Empire - seeing that their century-long long-cherished wish of the Frankish Empire was about to come true, the result was just a little bit away. The arrival of the Michael Knights and the Winged Cavalry made them Falling short of success.

Such a huge psychological gap is indeed difficult for people to accept calmly.

Although Allen is currently in a heavy mood, his mood and mental condition are relatively good compared to Ebel's.

After all, Allen is a military attache who has fought fiercely on the battlefield for most of his life.

Victory today, loss tomorrow - this kind of thing is just the norm on the battlefield.

Allen has fought countless victories and many defeats in his life. Today is just another defeat. For Allen, who has already experienced many defeats, today's defeat is just another defeat. , is not something difficult to accept.

Plus - the person who defeated him today was that Su Cheng.

It was not a shame to lose to Su Cheng, who had never lost a battle before, so Allen's mood and psychological condition became much better.

Ignoring Ebel who was growling and venting his dissatisfaction, Allen took off the long sword hanging from his waist and held it in his arms. He took out some dry food and drinking water that he had taken away urgently when he fled today.

After eating a few mouthfuls of dry food and drinking a few mouthfuls of water, Allen hugged the sword in his arms, leaned against the tree trunk behind him, and prepared to sleep.

Because they were not sure whether Su Cheng had sent a pursuit team or whether the pursuit team sent by Su Cheng was nearby, Allen and the others could not light a fire and could only make do with it for now.

Fortunately, it was summer and there were no large beasts nearby. Even if there was no fire, there would be no serious problem.

Allen just wants to regain as much strength as possible.

Then continue to flee west tomorrow.

"Abel."

Allen whispered to Ebel.

"Get some rest quickly, we have to continue our journey tomorrow."

"I understand the grief and anger in your heart."

"But roaring here won't help."

"Although our first attack on Pendragon failed."

"But our huge advantage over the Britannian Empire remains unchanged."

"In the Rhineland Plain, there are also hundreds of thousands of water and land troops from our Frank Empire."

"And the only troops the Britannia Empire can use are Su Cheng's Michael Knights."

"At that time, we can launch a second attack on Pendragon."

"So don't feel too sad or angry."

"In this war with the Britannia Empire, we still have the upper hand!"

…

…

2 days later——

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Wounded Soldiers Camp.

Pendragon's Treasury Building was temporarily used as a centralized treatment place for the wounded.

Darlene was in one of the rooms of the Treasury Building at this time, recuperating with the other wounded in the room.

Darlene was lying on his bed at this time.

Because she was bored, Darlene could only look at the top of her head and be in a daze.

However, at this moment, a loud shout with a bit of surprise suddenly sounded, instantly attracting Darlene's attention:

"Dallene!"

Dallene was very familiar with this voice.

Darlene hurriedly turned her head and looked at the owner of this voice, and shouted with joy:

"Yara!"

The owner of this voice was Darlene's best friend in the army-Yara.

At the beginning of this year, when the Delan Undead Corps selected who would join the guard and serve as the guard of Carol, Elisa and others, Darlene was selected, while Yara was not selected.

Since then, Darlena has been separated from her good friend until now.

Currently, Su Cheng has led the entire Delan Undead Team south, and Darlena can finally reunite with her long-lost friend.

Yara, who had just opened the door and stood at the door, took two steps at a time and walked quickly to Darlene's bed, then hurriedly said:

"Darlene! How are you? Are you injured anywhere? Is your injury healed?"

Darlene smiled and answered all the questions Yara asked in one breath:

"I'm fine, just a little overworked and slightly strained the muscles in my right arm. After resting for a while, I will be able to jump around again."

As soon as Darlene finished speaking, Yara wiped her wet eyes and whispered in a slightly crying tone:

"That's great... Darlene, you're still alive... After learning that most of the undead team members who went to Pendragon were dead, I was so afraid that you would die too...!"
