Chapter 670: Retreat to the West

"No! Your Highness Catherine, please listen to my explanation!"

Lemoster panicked, he knew that the town was full of the Kingdom's army.

The huge fear gripped his heart tightly, making his head dizzy.

Catherine sneered.

"I can give you a chance to defend yourself, but you must put down your weapons!"

Lemoster actually hesitated.

The servants around him immediately said sternly: "It's all over if you put down your weapons. We will cover you and rush out of the town, maybe there is still a chance!"

Yes! Maybe there is still a chance!

Lemoster immediately turned his horse and rushed out of the town, while his servants surrounded him.

Whoosh!

There were continuous sounds of breaking through the air, and the Kingdom's army fired crossbows, and several knights of the Bradley family fell off their horses.

The crossbowmen avoided Lemoster in the middle and only attacked the knights around him.

It was not until Lemoster and his party ran into the Kingdom's cavalry who came to intercept them that the rain of crossbows stopped.

The collision of armor and swords made a loud noise. The townspeople who had been peeking out of the building were frightened and quickly shrank back, closing the windows tightly.

The knights of the Bradley family fought hard, hoping to protect their lord from rushing out of the town, but they were only light armor and swords. They were no match for the knights of the kingdom equipped with heavy armor and lances, and soon fell into a slump.

They were about to rush out of the town, but in the fierce melee, a flying rope caught Lemoster, and he was dragged off the horse and dragged on the ground in a mess.

"Ah--!"

Lemoster screamed heartbreakingly. He was stepped on by the horse's hoof in his calf, and the severe pain spread throughout his body in an instant.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I almost killed this guy by accident!"

The knights escorted the second son of the Bradley family and reported to the princess with some fear.

Looking at Lemoster grinning in pain, Catherine's resentment was slightly relieved.

This guy had spoken rudely to her not long ago, and she really wanted to pierce his throat with a sword.

But she held back.

"Your Highness, I am willing to confess everything to you! I just hope you can forgive my sins."

Lemoster, who had become a stray dog, humbly begged her for mercy.

"Everything?"

"Yes, everything, my father's conspiracy, and... and his cooperation with the orcs."

"Hmph! You tell me slowly on the way! Watch carefully, don't let him run away or die!"

Catherine's voice revealed a cold chill.

"Where are his servants?"

"Three are still alive, and the others are dead!"

"A convoy loaded with supplies?"

"It's all real goods, and the people transporting them are ordinary civilians."

"Hurry up and prepare to retreat to Blackstone Plains!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Catherine did not hesitate for too long, and soon issued an order to set off to the west.

There is reason to believe that the Bradley family has arranged here not only fools like Lemoster.

The knights of the kingdom's army galloped on their horses, and the residents of Maweng Town, who were hiding at home, looked outside in panic, and the streets were shrouded in flying dust.

Many residents have learned a worrying fact - the kingdom's army, which came from afar, clashed with the Duke's army, and people died.

Does this mean that the Yellow Earth Land will confront the kingdom?

Many people were uneasy and prayed to the Lord of Light to protect themselves and their families, because the confrontation between local lords and the king often led to war.

However, what made them temporarily relieved was that the kingdom's army did not seem to have any intention of burning, killing and looting in the town - this was a common treatment for rebellious territories.

After they formed their formation outside the town, they went to the far west.

——

In a valley somewhere, the orc general Callum squinted his eyes and looked up at the sun in the sky.

Is this day just over?

When his sight returned to the ground, he saw Longfellow coming back from a walk.

"Human!"

Callum shouted at him.

Ferranlo turned his head helplessly, "What's the matter? General Callum."

"My warriors and I have wasted two days here. When will the little girl you mentioned come?"

The orc's voice revealed a strong anger.

"We have sent people to contact Master Lemoster. I think he is already on the way to here with his target. He is not far away."

No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one forum!

"Humph! That guy named Boyle said the same thing yesterday! Spirit of the grassland!"

The strong orc screamed in pain.

"Our other army has already rushed to the Watcher Fortress. They have made great achievements and may have cut off the head of that old guy Morton."

"And I... a dignified grassland warrior Callum, but I am here to snatch women for your master. How ridiculous!"

"I shouldn't have listened to your arrangements at the time, but went directly to the fortress. Maybe I am the one who made the greatest contribution this time!"

Facing the orcs' endless complaints, Franlo calmly reminded him: "General Callum, the Royal Capital Knights are a powerful force. I don't think you want to be attacked from behind when you attack the enemy's back."

Callum glared, "Damn it, can't you even delay them for a few days?"

Just when the quarrel between the two was about to escalate, a knight hurried to report.

Seeing his panicked expression, Ferranlo and Callum had a bad feeling in their hearts at the same time.

"I didn't meet Lord Lemoster on the road. When I arrived in Mahon, the people there said that he was kidnapped by the kingdom's army."

Damn it!

The sudden change made Ferranlo curse inwardly.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, Klem next to him asked in a muffled voice: "Did the kingdom's army enter the loess land?"

"Uh... yes!"

"Since they kidnapped your master, which direction did they go?"

"West! People in the town said they went to the west?"

Ferrano frowned and asked: "General, what are you going to do?"

"Chase!"

Callum shouted loudly, his tone full of excitement.

"Now that we know the movements of the Kingdom's army, of course we have to catch up with them, defeat them, and kill them! Uh... rescue your master by the way, hahahaha!"

He may have missed the battle to attack the Watcher Fortress, but it is said that the Royal Capital Knights are a more elite army than the Watcher Corps.

If this army can be annihilated, the credit will be no less than attacking the Watcher Fortress.

In fact, Callum targeted the Royal Capital Knights from the beginning, otherwise he would not have agreed to Ferranlo and others to ambush here.

His complaints just now were mainly caused by his irritation due to the delay in getting news from the enemy.

Now there is finally a clear direction.

Under his orders, the army ambushed in the valley became restless.
