Chapter 339
The night is coming to an end.

After resting for most of the day, Veigar led Shia and Carol towards Saint Laurent City.

Follow Vega's overnight route plan.

He will try his best to avoid the cities along the way, not to take the national highway, and go along the sparsely populated route. Although it will take a few days to reach Saint Laurent City in this way, it can guarantee that no more troubles will happen.

Once something happens, the delay is not just a day or two.

"Your Highness, the road ahead will be difficult, please be patient."

After Veigar told the two of them the route, he paid special attention to Sia. After all, she is the canary of the dynasty. Veigar decided to let her be mentally prepared, and the next step would be a difficult path.

"With the general around, Shia won't be afraid of anything."

Princess Shia smiled sweetly, not worried about the future. In Carol's eyes, Carol couldn't help but feel a little jealous of this smile. Since he forcibly brought the princess out to this day, he has never seen such a bright smile.

But this smile Carol is not unheard of.

When he was in the palace, Shia often showed him such an innocent smile, but this smile, which represented unreserved trust, no longer belonged to him, and Vega replaced him.

Although there is no evidence to prove it.

Not even Shia herself knew.

However, it can be seen from various signs that in Shia Saint Laurent's heart, Vega has risen from the second in the sequence to the first in the sequence.

So in the next few days, the journey was uneventful.

The mountain trails are indeed rough and difficult, and even Vega, a professional and magician, is a little irritated. He is even more unfriendly to Xi Ya, an ordinary person, even Canary, who is not as good as ordinary civilians, but Shia's journey is very difficult. I endured it.

Vega originally thought that the pampered Sia would not cause trouble, and this peaceful situation would last until Saint Laurent.

After all, Shia is a princess.

As long as Shia doesn't speak, Carol, a loyal guardian knight, dares to disobey the princess' order.

However, when a small town was resting halfway, conflicts still arose.

The cause of the incident came from a folk rumor.

This rumor said that the Callison troops going south defeated the Royal Army's 10 chasing troops, killing a total of more than 1 Royal Army troops, and the Royal Army withdrew into the port city for defense.

Now Callison's troops are facing the enemy's army at a distance from the port city.

Now there is only one step away. As long as this port city can be captured, they can safely return to the West Bank.

The civilians were already discussing it, and they took it for granted that if Callison could defeat the Royal Army's pursuit force, he would be able to capture the port city and return to the west bank, adding bricks and tiles to the counterattack force on the west bank.

Veigar himself dismissed the news and comments.

A group of civilians who have never led soldiers, without even detailed information, tried to dictate the situation of the battle. Even he himself did not dare to make such bold speculations without information, and could only make rough deduction at best.

So how to deduce?

If there is no error in the rumors that Callison defeated the Royal Army.

Then according to the information, it can be concluded that Callison must have found a dangerous place where the air force could not deploy, and gave the Royal Army a hard time.But it was just a gloomy, the news only said that the Royal Army had [-] casualties, but there was no mention of the aviation unit.

This is not the point.

What's more, Callison unexpectedly failed to stop the Royal Army's pursuit force, and instead allowed them to enter the port city to be attacked first, and everything would be over.

The layman watched the excitement.

From Vega's point of view, Callison didn't force the Royal Army to withdraw into the port city, but failed to prevent the Royal Army from entering the city.

Only a few words are short, and it is thousands of miles away.

But not everyone is an expert like Veigar. Sia did not cause Vega any trouble this way, but it was Carol who brought this contradiction.

Carol completely believed the rumors and opinions of the people.

He obviously disagrees with the pessimistic views of Vega, a professional. Now, in his eyes, Callison defeated the Royal Army, Callison forced the Royal Army into the port city, and Callison is number one in the world...

Callison is the future savior of the dynasty.

So Carol struggled all night, and when he buried pots for cooking by the creek the next evening, he had a showdown with Vega——

He is going south with the princess to find Callison.

Carol's thinking is very simple, Princess Shia is orthodox, this time Theon dared to do something to Shia, it was probably done secretly without telling everyone, if he brought the princess and General Callison back to the West Bank.

So do people in the West Bank dare to attack the princess?

He definitely wouldn't dare to do it head-on. If he attacked secretly, the troops under Admiral Callison would not be vegetarians. When the time comes, when the princess is crowned and the dust settles, the situation on the west bank will naturally stabilize.

Carol's abacus jingled.

It seemed that Callison could take the city 100% and return to the West Bank. He even considered that if he went late, he might not be able to catch the last train. As for Vega... that was a last resort when there was nowhere to go.

Who would rely on an imperial general when there were new options available.

Veigar was amused by Carol's optimism and indifference to the current situation. He felt that he could no longer wake up Carol, who was pretending to be asleep, with his point of view. He really couldn't beat an unreasonable person.

So I turned around and said to Shia: "Your Highness, I am not blindly analyzing, but based on the current war and rational deduction, and I don't mean to belittle your country's army. It is the right choice, Your Highness, to return to Saint Laurent with me. .”

"General Veigar, I believe in you."

Xi Ya is like a fan girl, she chooses to believe what Vega says: "Carol, I will not go south with you to seek refuge with General Callison, if you want to go, you go by yourself."

Seeing this, Vega breathed a sigh of relief.

The master agreed, so what if a subordinate wanted to object.

But then Carol's behavior broke Vega's cognition. He actually said forcefully: "Your Highness, for the sake of the rise of the dynasty, please follow my advice. In the future, I have no choice but to act first, and you must not be deceived by the people of the empire."

"Carol, you!"

Shia was furious, she blushed and said, "Are you loyal to the dynasty or me, Shia Saint Laurent!"

"Excuse me, Your Highness, is there any difference between the two?"

Carol said unreasonably: "In my subject's view, Her Royal Highness is the Royal Highness of the Dynasty. There is no conflict between my allegiance to the Dynasty and Her Royal Highness. Therefore, for the future of the Dynasty, Your Highness, please listen to me."

"Carol..."

Princess Shia slowly closed her eyes, letting two crystal clear tears fall: "From today onwards, you are no longer my guardian knight, I don't need you anymore!"

Scenes from childhood to adulthood with Carol flashed like a slideshow.

Shia yelled the last sentence almost hysterically. After she yelled, she turned her gaze to Veigar: "General Veigar, Shia begs to follow you and don't let Carol take me away again."

There was a flash of blood, and the long sword was in hand.

Holding Dolan's blade, Veigar took a step forward to block Shia: "As a subject, you dare to offend the dignity of your master. Your Excellency Carol, you have already lost the qualification to be a subject."

"Hmph, do you think you can beat me?"

Carol sneered, not paying attention to Vega.
