Your Highness, please spare the concubine

The guard next to him asked puzzledly: "General, the enemy is about to escape from the north, why don't we pursue them?"

The general shook his head and said, "Don't chase after him, Marshal Wei Lisi said, keep Domi Nandi alive, he is still useful."

Volume 226#Chapter 52 The death of the stargazer, Froman's escape ([-])

at the same time.

On the morning of July 10.

In the Occam Empire, the Shantu Monster Forest is close to the Western Wilderness.

Of the 700 survivors led by Arnold, there are less than [-] left today.

Some of them died during the battle with the search and rescue army sent by the Mori Loka Empire...

Others died in the initial battle with the pursuers.

And more, but died in the battle with monsters in this monster forest.

The bones of these people cannot be buried, so they can only be thrown away in this dense and dangerous monster forest.

Because even if it is buried, it will be dug out by some monsters.

In vain.

As for the option of cremation and taking away the ashes...

Not to mention that it was too time-consuming and labor-intensive to do that, and they didn't bring a jar that could hold the ashes.

Unless some soldiers are willing to wrap their friends' ashes in their clothes...

And that's just one thing that worries Arnold...

Another thing is that their stargazer, Carol, is seriously ill.

The physique of the stargazer itself is similar to that of a magician. Without regular exercise, staying in this treacherous and dangerous monster forest for a long time, breathing the miasma in the forest, the risk of getting sick or getting injured is greatly increased...

Not to mention Carol, even the other sergeants, including Arnold himself, had symptoms of discomfort.

Therefore, their goal of searching for traces of Froman has not progressed.

Carroll even tried to get enlightenment during the injury, and got the same result as before-

Froman was around them.

Such a revelation made Arnold and his party gradually lose their trust in Carol.

She felt that she had been abandoned by the Nemesis, and there was no way for her to receive more sympathy and enlightenment.

Poor stargazer, if he loses the connection with the god of belief, his value will be greatly reduced.

Maybe it was because Carol kept repeating the lie because she was afraid they would abandon her?

But Arnold won't leave her...

It’s just that recently he heard that Carol often comforts himself alone in the middle of the night, and this kind of thing makes him embarrassed to say a word of advice...

But I have to say.

After all, such behavior in the monster forest will only aggravate her condition.

Opening the other side's tent curtain, Carol, who was haggard and coughing, and Johns, who was sent to take care of him, came into view.

"grown ups!"

Johns stood up respectfully, but did not dare to look at him with his head down.

Arnold glanced at him, and a sense of familiarity welled up in his heart.

The next second, he couldn't help but feel ridiculous——

Johns is his subordinate, isn't it normal to feel familiar?

"You go down."

"Yes!"

When Johns left, Carol looked at him weakly: "Master Arnold, should we continue to look for it?"

Arnold sighed: "Actually, you don't have to look for it. The Marshal of the Three Emperors of the Occam Empire issued an order before, and people are searching for him everywhere on the border."

"We are just one of them, and it doesn't matter if we leave. So many people are looking for him, and Froman can't escape in the end."

After a pause, Carol said apologetically, "I'm sorry, the enlightenment I got seems inaccurate."

"It's nothing." Arnold shook his head, "It may be because you are sick, take a good rest Carol, I promised before that I will send you back to the Remnant Army safely."

"But I also said that I would help you find Froman, your enemy." Carol smiled.

Seeing her like this, Arnold couldn't get the words out of his mouth somehow.

"After searching for so many days, I also looked away, find a time, let's get out of here." Arnold said.

That's why he led the remaining people to the edge of the monster forest.

But Carol stared at him closely: "Have you really looked away?"

Arnold didn't reply, and said after a while: "Actually, I had this idea before."

"The only reason why we didn't leave is because after Chris led the army to kill Dennis Alfred's search and rescue army, he sent people to monitor us."

"I think she is planning to destroy us together after we find Froman."

Hearing this, Carol was a little stunned: "No wonder you are looking for someone to procrastinate these days. I thought everyone was tired."

Arnold nodded: "I'm tired."

"But there's no need to procrastinate now, that Chris Egbert has already fallen into the enemy's territory and cannot protect herself."

"So it seems that several groups of troops responsible for monitoring us were also sent back two days ago."

"But the reward order she issued is still there. Recently, there are more and more adventurers and hunters hovering near our army, and we are becoming less and less safe."

"It seems that I heard that folk stargazers also located Froman's trail here, but they didn't find it at all."

"But it's not safe to go on like this, let's go."

Carol did not refute, but agreed: "It's up to the adults to decide."

But what they found was that Johns, who was waiting outside the tent, could hear the conversation clearly.

Arnold may not want to keep it secret, after all, he will tell the rest of his decision soon.

But Johns heard a lot of information from it.

[People from Domi Nandi and Feynor Jack have left a code to contact me. 】

[Since they want to leave, I can also take the opportunity to slip away. 】

[But before that, I have to kill that Carol! 】

After making such a decision, Johns looked at his cuff with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

There, there are 'herbs' he specially prepared for Carol's illness.

Now, he, the fake Johns, was one of the bodyguards looking after Carol.

The reason why he didn't do it before was because he felt that it was unnecessary.

Staying in the monster forest, these people can't tell his disguise, and will only be gradually devoured by the monsters.

But now that they wanted to leave, the risk of him being exposed as a fake Johns would increase.

So he has to go!

And if you want to leave, you have to kill that stargazer first!

Carol, unaware that his own death was coming, was still talking to Arnold in the tent.

When Arnold leaves and calls everyone over to discuss matters... when he is about to leave.

Johns walked in with the medicine bowl he had made, and said with a smile, "Master Carol, if you know some herbs, it may help your condition."

As he spoke, Johns blew on the hot potion in his hand, pretended to take a sip, and put it in his mouth.

Seeing this, Carol naturally had no doubts, after all, this Johns took care of her for several days.

Into the subtleties, trustworthy!

After taking the medicine bowl and thanking her, he began to drink the medicine. Johns bowed to her and exited the tent without a sound.

[Poor stargazer Carol, your belief ability still needs to be improved. 】

【Even the date of your own death, didn't the Nemesis give you any inspiration?Jie Jie Jie...]

Not long after, Johns left Arnold's Remnant Army directly from the side hiding place while others were not paying attention.

When Arnold led the army and sent someone to call Carol, he found that she was spitting purple blood foam at the mouth, and she couldn't die anymore.

And Johns, the guard who took care of her, also disappeared.

"Carol!!!"

Knowing all this, Arnold slowly fell to his knees while looking at the body of the woman whom he swore to send her back.

"Johns!? Where is he? Where is he? Find him! I'm going to cut him alive!" Arnold roared angrily.

Volume 227#Chapter 53 Battle, Golden Sun (3)【[-]K】

It didn't take long to receive the news from Willis.

Now, Wei Lisi and Chris are on the grain road, and she has just entered the vicinity of Mount Oulu.

The distance between the two is not far away.

And Mount Oulu is full of traces left after the army's pursuit, as evidenced by the various imprints on the soil that has not dried up on the ground.

"I thought there would be our ambush here."

Xier You took the information and sighed.

Just now, the scouts in front reported that there were many corpses of enemy and friendly troops near the mouth of the gourd.

Hill You also roughly understood that Isabella even expected the ambush here at Wei Lisi.

Then he attacked the people here like he attacked them.

Just when she was worried about the safety of her two royal sisters, Wei Lisi's bird message also came to her.

But the above content made Hill You hesitate.

"Your Highness, let's go, Isabella is not far behind us."

A leader ran over to inquire and urge.

The 8000 people who originally joined were less than [-] after being attacked by Isabella.

If it weren't for the fact that Isabella's sneak attack army was only [-], and they could run around, and the other party didn't chase after her...

Their loss is probably more than that.

Hill You naturally understood.

Holding the note from Wei Lisi tightly in her hand, she looked at the leader.

But there was no intention of continuing to escape.

Then, she shouted loudly: "The whole army stops advancing!"

The army that was on their way stopped immediately, and all of them looked at Hill You with tired eyes.

His Royal Highness pulled out the Binglan Sword again, turned around and shouted: "The rear army has changed to the front army! Follow me and attack the enemy!"

====

10 minutes later……

Isabella is leading the march, and she is in charge of the rear.

In the sky, many birds flew in her direction frequently, and then sent information from various places.
