Chapter 329 The Princess Missing
Sia Saint Laurent is missing.

Together with his guardian knight, Carol, when Yi Luo led the main force to attack the city of Saint Laurent, she took the opportunity to leave the city of Saint Radiance and disappeared for a while.

"General, general."

The adjutant Yi Luo stepped forward nervously and said: "It's all the fault of the subordinate. If the subordinate left a team of mages to watch Her Royal Highness, they wouldn't let the two slip away so easily. I will send someone Look for them, and definitely capture them back."

Vega didn't speak, he raised his hand to stop Yiluo.

"General, it may be too late to send someone now..."

"You go back first."

Veigar waved his hand: "It's no wonder you, Shia's disappearance is my own mistake."

"Yes, General."

"and many more."

When Yiluo walked to the door, Vega stopped him: "Temporarily block this news, especially not to let the people and recruits know, and at the same time allocate funds to Menno to expand the size of the navy in Saint Laurent City, control public opinion."

"Your Majesty, let's do it."

Upon hearing this, Yiluo immediately went out to follow Vega's instructions.

But Vega in the office was frowning, because he knew deeply that this matter could not be hidden for a long time, even if there was a navy to control public opinion, he would be exposed within two months at most.

And it's not fair to let Sia be crowned emperor in Saint Laurent.

Then Veigar's plan to recruit soldiers, and the idea of ​​using patriotism and the empress' appeal to attract the high-level military forces of the surrounding dynasties to re-loyal cannot be realized.

"It's a big trouble."

Veigar realized that there was a crisis bigger than the threat of the United Kingdom.

If Xi Ya is not found in a short period of time, then he can only flee back to the empire in despair, let alone monopolize half of the holy dynasty, and don't even think about coercing the emperor to make the princes, even the bottle of awakening potion is probably worth it. less than.

"But what is Shia's motive for escaping here?"

This was something Vega couldn't figure out no matter what.

Compared with being crowned emperor at Saint Laurent, going back to the west is obviously more tempting. Anyone who is a smart person should know that there is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing the latter.

What if you choose the former?

Leaving aside the need to cross cities occupied by kingdoms one after another to get to the port city, even if you reach the port city and safely cross the Donbu River to the west bank of the river, can the current helm of the dynasty keep Xiya?
Today, Veigar thinks that the two of them can somewhat understand.

Could it be that he saw through his plan to coerce the emperor to command the princes?

Not to mention that this plan has only just started, even if they see through it, they should understand that the two of them must rely on him now, without him, they might not even be able to keep their status as the Son of Heaven.

Precisely because there is no motivation to leave.

Only then did Vega rest assured that Shia would stay in the safe Holy City, and he did not order anyone to keep an eye on Carol and Shia.

But the reality slapped him hard in the face, and Shia and Carol actually left openly.

Fortunately, Veigar is not the kind of person who just sits and waits to die.

He decided to bring back Shia Saint Laurent himself, because ordinary mages are no match for Carol, and to deal with Carol, Vega felt that he had to do it himself.

So on the second day.

Vega issued an order to abandon Shenghui City and shrink his troops to Saint Laurent City.

At the same time, gather a team of elemental mages and several shadow mages, and follow him south to find Princess Shia and knight Carol. Veigar must retrieve them before they can cross the river.

If the two of them were allowed to cross the west bank of the river, everything would be in vain.

"If you take one wrong step, you will lose everything."

On the way south with the mage team, Veigar frowned worriedly.

Shia's departure can be said to have disrupted all his plans, forcing him to hand over Holy Glory City to the Kingdom Army, because once the troops are divided into two places, once the main force of the Kingdom Port arrives, they will only make useless sacrifices .

As for the Saint Laurent defense system?
Veigar no longer dared to hope for this thing.

He now only hopes to find Shia within a month.

Because although the Royal Army has 20 support troops from the port, under the strong fortifications of Saint Laurent, it is possible to delay for 2 months with only 2 people.

As long as Saint Laurent is still around, Vega thinks there is a chance of a comeback.

Even if what he faced when he went back was the siege of three layers inside and outside the three layers of the Kingdom Army, and even the odds of winning were less than [-]%, but this was the only way out. If Shia was not found, the [-]% chance Hope not.

----

Half a month later, Nila, the city of water.

This is a port city south of Saint Laurent.

The famous Dunbu River of the Holy Dynasty is just to the west of it, and it is a medium-sized city that relies mainly on fishing and commerce.

The business of the water city of Nila mainly relies on the trade communication between the two sides of the river, so there are many commercial ships, and there are nearly a hundred large ships transporting goods to and from the two sides of the Dunbu River every day.

Because water business is the lifeblood of the city.

In order to prevent the entire city from falling into a violent state due to the closed port, the United Kingdom did not restrict commercial ships from traveling between the two sides of the strait, but it has very strict inspection work, basically checking one by one.

Carroll set the city of crossing the river here.

Due to the impact of the fall of Saint Laurent, the troops originally stationed here have already gone to support, and the inspection work at the port has been relaxed by more than [-] to [-]% compared to the original.

"Your Highness, I won't keep you waiting for too long."

Carol knelt on the ground and reported: "Although we cannot escape the investigation of the Kingdom's army and get on a merchant ship, I have already written a letter of appeal to the merchant and entrusted it to the royal family on the West Bank. The letter stated that we are now The hiding place and situation, as well as the emptiness of the kingdom's defenses, I believe they will soon send troops to attack the Water City Tower Nila to welcome His Highness back."

Shia turned her head to the side without looking at Carol.

Carol seemed to be used to being treated like this by Shia, so he went on to say: "Your Highness, you will be completely safe when you return to the west bank. Then we can rest and recuperate, and it will not be too late to seize the east bank."

"Don't say any more!"

Shia stood up angrily and said: "If you still think that I am your princess, immediately let me go back to General Vega's side, and for my own safety, abandon him to fight alone in Saint Laurent. I just can't do it."

"Your Highness, even if you want to execute me in the west bank, I will definitely not resist."

Carol stood up and said firmly: "But now is not the time to be willful, that brat is completely seeking his own death, even if he captures Saint Laurent and makes you crowned emperor, so what? His invincible history 20 reinforcements from the kingdom?"

"Since ancient times, those who have made great events do not care about small details."

Carol said self-consciously: "Sacrificing a person who is determined to die will allow you to cross the river safely to the west bank. I think that little devil died well. If you really feel ashamed, you can posthumously designate him as the Grand Duke of the dynasty after crossing the river. "

"Carol, please get out!"

Shia pointed to the door, and Carol sighed and walked out of the room.

creak-

When the door was closed by Carol, Shia's eyes were misted immediately.

Thinking of Veigar's death made her feel a throbbing pain in her chest.

She clutched her chest in pain and said, "General Vega, everything is Shia's fault, you risked your life to help me be crowned emperor in Yves Saint Laurent, and now Yves Saint Laurent is in your hands, but Shia has turned her back I made an oath to abandon you alone on the front line, and even used you as a bait to attract the Royal Army..."

"Shia understands that apologizing is useless, and I dare not ask for your forgiveness."

Princess Shia's eyes showed determination, and she muttered to herself outside the window: "But please persevere."

She knew that she was forcibly taken out by Carol, and now she could not go back no matter what.

Therefore, she made up her mind, and uttered words as firm as an oath: "When I return to the West Bank, I will definitely order the army to rescue you. Please, please insist on it until then."
