Chapter 303 156. The SOS Letter from Ghost Town

When Annan and Princess Seils returned to the manor, a team of 50 members of the Knights was waiting at the door.

They were ordered by the king to guard Annan's knights next.

"your Highness."

The knights stepped off their horses and pressed their right hands on their left chests, but they became hostile again when they looked at Annan.

Annan flinched behind Princess Sayers: "Where does your hostility come from?"

Princess Sils also said: "The Eighth Holy Grail Knight Mel and Annan came to the capital together. He is your own."

It turned out that the hostility stemmed from the second gift of the eldest prince.

A girl who seemed to have cried got out of the carriage behind the cavalry, her eyes were shining with hatred.

She is Galt's family.

"I said it was a misunderstanding, do you believe it?" Annan sighed and ushered in this scene.

"You killed my father..."

"Olmedo also killed Augusta."

Kingdom epics are few and far between, especially when Augusta's death is tied to his great paternal love.Realizing that the truth is not that simple, Galt's daughter and the knight captain fell silent.

"Let's go in and talk, and the knight captain and the clerk will follow along." Annan needed to clean up his stigma.

Princess Sayles shunned because of the dishonorable role the royal family played in it.

"...Your father realized that I did not rebel, and there was a problem with the arrest from the capital, but retreating at this time is to disobey the king's order. As one of the three major knights guarding the border, suspicion has never subsided with them. In order to avoid Bringing a bloody cleansing to the knights, your father sacrificed himself to fulfill the king's order and saved the knights. The chief mage of the knights can testify to me."

"Like your father, I am a victim of wrong orders."

The knight captain subconsciously frowned, wanting to protect the royal family, and then stretched out because this is the princess manor.

"You want me to take revenge on the royal family?"

A daughter who lost her father dared to say anything.

"The legendary mage Agarwal offended me, but I just scolded him and never thought of revenge." Annan patched it in advance-who knows whether the legendary mage just has no time to pay attention or hear it. "I'm telling you this so you know the truth, not a pointless sacrifice."

"...Uncle Molin, thank you." The girl bowed to the knight captain, then looked at Annan: "I'm yours now."

"No, you are free now." Annan rejected her, "This is still a wrong royal order...so I will be like your father. Return your freedom."

"Thank you, King of the North."

The girl, who was as stubborn as her father, ran out of the manor.

"She won't have any new troubles, right?" Annan looked at the back of the girl as she went out.

"The King of the North himself has released her, and no one else dares trouble her again."

"I mean will she go after the culprit?"

"Master Galt's daughter is not that stupid, Feldo is a smart girl."

Next, Annan got to know the captain and the clerk: Maureen, a master warrior; the clerk Aemon, an elite mage.Annan asked how to investigate, and Master Aemon said that other knights were investigating or accepting missions to go there.

Recently, there have been many tasks related to the south, some escorting nobles, caravans, and residents, and some clearing away the gathering of rats.Annan commissioned them to bring some tasks back to the Knights for him to choose, and returned to the bedroom.

"You look more tired than before."

The portal opened, and Olmedo asked with concern.

"I went to the palace, and the eldest prince gave me the right to investigate in the south, and also gave me my team of knights and Garth's daughter... Fortunately, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and I returned her freedom."

Briefly telling Olmedo what happened this morning, Annan sighed: "But the real exhaustion comes from other..."

The ever-present sense of indifference from the people around them-they don't care about the ratmen raging in the south at all, as if they believe that the ratmen will not harm them.In the past few days when I came to the capital, there were no nobles who packed their luggage and migrated, but some commoners sold their property and ran to the east.

Where does their confidence come from? Is there a secret that they don't even know?
Fortunately, the Eighth Holy Grail Knight is on Annan's side.

"Then come back."

This is the second time Olmedo wants Annan to go back.

"why?"

"The McCann Ratman is in the Far North County, and it will take less than a month to arrive. To be or not to be...you will know when the time comes."

But Annan is not the pessimistic Olmedo: "We know one month in advance, so we can make more preparations and save more people."

The efficiency of the Knights led the Knight Captain and the clerk to bring a bunch of tasks in the afternoon.Either clean up the skaven, or escort the humans.Among them was a distress letter that caught Annan's attention.

[Ghost town in Illida County:

Knights of the Royal Capital, save us!A group of Ratmen are in the north, they are very close to us, the militiamen in the town can't hold it at all, the mayor and nobles and rich people have already fled, we can't run... Gods, kings, knights, please You save us...]

The scrawled handwriting expressed despair.Illida County is adjacent to the capital, and the Ratmen who attacked Ghost Town are the vanguard rather than the main body of the rat wave. They have a chance.

Annan handed the letter to Master Aemon: "When is this letter?"

"All the commissions were delivered this morning." Master Aemon took over the letter and read it, frowning: "...We are too late, it will take three days at the earliest from the capital to Ghost Town..."

"Ghost Town... Isn't this your hometown?"

Master Aemon was silent for a short while, then nodded: "But it's too far away, we can't help them..."

"What's the situation in the town?" Annan couldn't judge whether it was a coincidence or a conspiracy.

"Ghost Town has a population of several thousand, but I guess there are more than 2000 people who can't leave now." Master Aemon shook his head sadly: "As I said before, we will be in Ghost Town for at least three days, it's too late .”

"Can it go any faster?"

"This is the speed of restless." Cavaliers captain said.

"Take two horses and travel lightly?"

The Cavaliers captain said that they would lose their fighting power in that case.Annan revealed one of his trump cards in front of them at this time: open the portal and let the large elements crowded in the underground space show up.

"You just need to provide support."

Mage Aemon was full of hope: "With the lightness technique of the mage accompanying the team, we have a chance to reach Ghost Town within two days!"

"Then gather the knights and prepare to go."

Annan's blood was boiling.He wrote two letters and handed them to Mel and Kerberos respectively, and then went to the Knights' residence to join fifty knights.

"set off!"
