The half-elf girl nodded and had no intention of intervening. The one who got lost as a joke was not an Imperial knight, so why should she help?
The carriage continued to move forward and soon came to the area where Lorenno found the clue. Suddenly someone seemed to have discovered something and shouted: "Look there!"
The guards looked towards where the man was pointing. There were four sets of clearly visible footprints on the ground. Judging from the pattern of the footprints, they were from expensive boots.
Seeing the boot prints, the man who lost his brother immediately rode over excitedly, then kept moving along the footprints, and finally stopped at the edge of the river.
Through the car window with the curtains raised, Lorenno saw the knights standing on the edge of the calm but huge river, with their footprints extending until they disappeared.
Looking at the river, the knight who had lost his brother had an ugly expression and turned back to rush to the carriage.
Chapter 818 Control
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I have found traces of me and my companions."
The knight who came over said anxiously, Lorenno kept smiling and nodded: "Oh, yes, that's great. In that case, let's take a break for now. If there is anyone who wants to help you find it, you can let them look for it together."
Upon hearing the good news, the knight was immediately overjoyed and called to other people in the Kingdom of Fatir to get ready to dip into the water to see if they could find anything. Except for a small group of people led by Joseph, most of them were ready to see the situation.
However, no one from the empire moved and stood on the shore for a short rest. The members of the empire team asked their current captain very puzzledly: "Hey, deputy captain, what is your highness doing? Why are you helping Fatir?" People of the Kingdom.”
"I don't know, maybe you want to have fun, and now you want to call me captain."
Glancing at his team members, the captain did not explain much. In fact, as long as he thought about it carefully, if His Highness Lorenno really wanted to help, he could actually easily find the clues left by the missing guys.
The current behavior can be said to be watching these people from the Fatir Kingdom perform useless tasks, without doing any help to them at all, and can only be understood as having fun.
Maybe it was because he was emotionally unstable and too excited because he was about to find his adoptive mother?
Anyway, in his opinion, His Highness Lorenno is just like Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess, who always gets a little crazy from time to time.
The captain, who knew the inside story, thought irresponsibly, and quickly apologized to the three of them in his heart, his face still expressionless.
……
More than a dozen knights were walking or crossing the river, searching on both sides of the river. Lorenno looked at the hurried appearance of these people and sighed slightly, feeling relaxed and peaceful.
Much more enjoyable.
After all, they were knights of the Kingdom of Fatir, and they were completely enemies with her. Now they just happened to be walking together. Seeing their useless busyness made her feel happy.
After searching for about two hours, these guys found no information at all. When they finally came up wet, the guy who had lost his brother started angrily scolding these people.
These knights didn't say anything, but they were actually a little impatient in their hearts. They felt a little disgusted with the powerful companion in front of them. In comparison, Joseph, who had a lower status, was more pleasing to the eye.
The knight who had lost his brother realized that he had made a mistake in his behavior. He wanted to apologize but maintained his pride and refused to bow his head. He turned around and ran to Lorenno's carriage and begged:
"Your Highness Lorenno, please give me some more time. I think I will find them soon."
"Oh, then just bring the people who are willing to stay to find you." Lorenno said with a smile, hiding his malice well.
"...Okay, we will follow you soon when we find it."
The knight who found some clues no longer hesitated, turned around and summoned his companions to search with him, but what was very surprising was——
Compared to the number of people who stood by his side in the early morning, there are only a few people left who are willing to help him find them, and the remaining ones are still small families under his family and must obey his orders.
Looking at the current result, the knight clenched his weapon and stared coldly at the grasshoppers. He turned around and continued to look for his brother by the river, without looking at the convoy that was gradually moving away.
At the very least, he had to at least find his brother's bones so that he could find a way to resurrect him using the resurrection technique.
Some of the anxiety in his heart eased, and Lorenno temporarily let go of his nervousness about meeting his mother and stared at the scenery along the road and the calm river.
As the carriage advanced, the sky gradually darkened, and the river reflected the soft light of the bright moon again. After a moment of discussion, everyone prepared to set up camp on the edge. Shaluo also deliberately drove away snakes, insects, rats, and ants to ensure the safety of the camp.
After lighting up the bonfire, they sat under the night sky and ate hot food. Mavis came out for the first time and curiously took the hard bread from Joseph. It was a bit hard to chew, but she was still quite happy eating it. .
Just as everyone was gathering together to eat, the sound of water suddenly came from the river. Everyone looked at it curiously. Lorenno, who had been prepared, wiped his mouth calmly, as if he had expected it.
Since the morning, she had discovered that these things under the water had been following them. It was just a matter of course to deal with the knight who did not obey the orders. It would be good to drive out the knight who did not obey Joseph's orders, so that the team could be better led later.
Her real target is actually these "water ghosts".
Well, Lorenno didn’t know what they were, but they weren’t anything interesting. The smell of them made it obvious that they weren’t mermaids or nymphs.
The beautiful "mermaid" appeared on the river and kept swinging up and down, swaying its limbs. Those movements seemed to attract everyone with magic power, and some guys who were less determined were immediately charmed.
No one in the empire's team was charmed. They were all experienced warriors, unlike the playboy nobles sent by the Kingdom of Fatir to monitor them.
As for the Fatir Kingdom, there were still many people attracted. After Lorenno drank the beef soup, he raised his finger and tapped the stone, breaking the stone into pieces. The crisp sound similar to that in the early morning directly woke up these people.
The sense of oppression that Lorenno exuded in the morning was enough to give them a psychological shadow.
"It was just..."
Looking at the beautiful figure in the water, the vigilant guards shuddered. Lorenno stood up and stretched, used his life force to condense a spear, aimed at the dancing figure in the water and leaned back slightly——
Throw the bloody spear hard!
An air explosion sounded, and the spear instantly pierced the monster that couldn't dodge. Its upper body was completely exploded, and blood spilled into the water.
The death of a "mermaid" directly shocked the entire tribe. The river began to boil, and ugly monsters emerged from the water one after another and stared at Lorenno.
"Water hag."
Seeing their frontal appearance, Connie said the name of this kind of monster. Water hags are not hags, but are closer to water ghosts. They have relatively strong induction and charm abilities. It is thought that the missing people were lured away by them.
"Ahhhh!"
These monsters screamed because of the death of their companions. Seeing the large number of people on their side, they rushed forward without any scruples. Lorenno puffed out his chest and raised his hands to stop the people behind who wanted to help.
With his palms flat and staring at the monsters in front of him, Lorenno activated his psychic energy and clenched his fists hard.
[Overload: Amplification] [Psychic Power: Guide Vitality].
The monsters in front of them stopped immediately, their hearts and brains were instantly exploded, and their bodies sank into the water.
Chapter 819
After finishing these guys with just a handshake, Lorenno flicked his arm to take out the blood, drained their blood and stored it in it to replenish the vitality lost in the previous battle.
"The matter is settled, you continue to keep vigil."
After cleaning up these disgusting monsters, Lorenno nodded to the guards, and the imperial captain bowed respectfully: "
Your Highness, I'm really sorry to trouble you. "
"Well, you guys keep a good watch, I really won't be able to help you with what happens next on the road."
If she had to do everything by herself, then what would these guards be doing? She might as well disband them all.
"Yes."
Lorenno returned to his original sitting position, and Mavis looked at the half-elf girl with more fear and curiosity in her eyes.
During the time she spent with her, Mavis had always seen a smiling Princess who did not exude any malice. It was only now that she saw the side of her that was rumored.
She couldn't help but asked curiously: "Lorenno, why are you so strong?"
Of course it’s because of my hard work——
"Because my bloodline is strong enough and I have always been guided by a famous teacher. After all, you know that I am technically a son of God."
Lorenno shrugged. Now he does not shy away from his identity. He speaks openly and openly. It can be said that with strength, he has confidence.
Hearing this answer, Mavis nodded silently, expecting the half-elf girl to say some encouraging words, but the result was unexpected.
The kingdom guards who listened with their ears pricked up felt inexplicably sad. The nobles like them had already surpassed the common people in terms of bloodline and status. Unfortunately, they still couldn't compare to people like Lorenno, and a sense of disparity arose spontaneously.
After Mavis talked a little about her adventures with Connie and others, Lorenno saw that it was getting late and clapped his hands to signal everyone to enter the rest time, leaving a few people to keep vigil while the others immediately fell asleep to replenish their energy.
The policy she set was that she could take normal rest on the road, but she must ensure that she approached the Crystal Mountains at a normal speed.
……
There was no words for a night. Thanks to Lorenno's actions and the spells of Shaluo and Connie, they slept peacefully that night and did not encounter any attacks from monsters or humanoid creatures.
Early the next morning, the energetic motorcade set off again. Mavis looked around and unexpectedly found that her knight Joseph seemed a little troubled, so she waved him over to ask why.
"Joseph, what's wrong with you? You seem to be in a bad mood?"
"It's not too bad, Your Highness..."
Joseph's facial features felt a little awkward. He glanced at the other people sitting in the carriage and approached Mavis to explain the reason in a low voice.
After His Highness Lorenno killed the water hag last night, Joseph realized with hindsight that these monsters were probably the culprits who killed the four companions.
Originally, Joseph thought that a team member would explain the matter to him before setting off on the road, and was prepared to be asked by the team members to remind His Highness Lorenno to send someone to inform those who were still looking for the missing persons.
But he waited until he was on the road and no one mentioned it. Forget about the Imperial Guard, none of the members of the Kingdom Guard seemed to notice this.
But how could this be possible? He didn't believe that his team members were so insensitive. It was more like they had agreed not to mention this matter.
After learning about Joseph's entanglement, Mavis, although being used as a political tool, saw things more clearly than her own knight:
"I'm afraid they all hate the knight who was looking for his brother. He asked them to help but they already went, but the man still yelled at them."
"You have to know that the guards here are all nobles, not the knight's followers. They are actually equal in position to him. It's not like having a father who is an earl can do whatever he wants."
After quietly speaking her point of view, Mavis looked up and looked very proud. Lorenno nodded slightly. In this matter, simple dislike and like can explain the problem better.
The deeper reason is that, regardless of whether they are ready to flatter the knight who is looking for his younger brother, these departing guards can no longer continue to put their hot faces on his cold ass.
Rather than go back and tell the knight who is looking for his brother to come back, it is better to let him continue to search for nothing, and then stab him in the back when he returns to the kingdom!
Hearing Mavis's understanding, Joseph expressed his understanding, picked up the reins and rushed to the front without dwelling on the issue. He originally hated the guy who disobeyed his orders.
Since other people stood on the same front as him, Joseph was naturally happy. Suddenly enlightened, he wanted to look around, and a spear was suddenly raised from the team.
The captain of the empire glanced around, focusing on the forest on one side, and said in a cold voice: "Since you are here, come out, don't think about a sneak attack."
After hearing his words, everyone immediately became alert. However, Mavis was the only one in the carriage who was frightened. She grabbed Lorenno's hand and said, "What, what's wrong?"
"Who knows, there are probably some little bandits. Don't worry, they will take care of it." Lorenno didn't care much about the enemies outside, and instead flipped through the spell book to learn the spells in it.
After the captain finished speaking, he waited for a moment. When he saw no one came out, he immediately waved his spear forward. The tip of the spear immediately blew out a strong wind and hit the front. After a burst of smoke and dust, a large crater appeared in front of the convoy.
He glanced deep into the forest and waved to the guards dressed as rangers in the team. They obeyed the order and immediately took out their arrows, aimed at a few trees, and fired instantly. The wails suddenly resounded throughout the forest.
Now those lurking guys were finally convinced that they had been discovered, so they rushed out of the forest with shouts. Looking at the equipment on these guys, everyone couldn't help but frown.
head.
This group of people who look like bandits are wearing tattered chain armor. Even though the word "tattered" is added, chain armor is chain armor after all. Bandits shouldn't be able to get so much. .
Seeing them rushing towards the convoy, the imperial captain raised his hand to signal everyone to prepare to attack, and said to Joseph: "I leave the protection of the carriage to the guards of your kingdom. If you want to fight, you can change with us."
When the situation became a little urgent, Joseph turned around and hinted at everyone's choice. Most of the guards of the kingdom were eager to try this battle, so they frantically hinted that he would let them exchange with the knights of the empire.
After receiving the exact answer, Joseph immediately raised his sword and said: "Fighters, charge!"
Realizing that they wanted to make great achievements, the imperial captain raised his hand and motioned for his people to surround the carriage and wait for the outcome of the battle. Since everyone wanted to go the same way, it was natural to have a good relationship.
Chapter 820 is finally here!
Killing these bandits and bandits is not an important achievement for the guards of the empire. Since the knight of the kingdom wants to add fuel to the fire through fighting, then let it be left to them.
Although these bandits have more sophisticated equipment than ordinary bandits, they are still vulnerable to warriors born from nobles. The bandits who attacked were wiped out in about five or six minutes. Joseph even dragged a person to the imperial captain. .
"He should be the mastermind of the incident. He was also yelling about something like the rebels."
Joseph was also a little confused about this. He had been in Butonlai for so long, and as a native of the Fatir Kingdom, he had indeed never heard of any resistance.
There is nothing too particular about the empire. A member who can cast spells raised his hand and cast a charm spell on the bandit, asking him to tell everything he knew.
It turned out that they were not targeting the imperial convoy, these guys simply accepted something sent by a certain noble, so they wanted to target the lord of this territory so that his territory would not have caravans coming or going.
Who would have thought that as soon as the trap was laid, the imperial convoy would arrive, and the result would be like this, being beaten to pieces.
"Your Highness?"
"Ignore what's going on in this place and move on. I still want to get to the next attraction before dark."
Lorenno said lazily, pretending to be really here for fun, and opened the travel brochure he had prepared before. The next stop seemed to be the largest trading town in the Kingdom of Fatir.
After hearing His Highness's order, the captain immediately stabbed the bandit with a spear, threw him aside and started again with the convoy. The guards of the Fatir Kingdom originally wanted to notify the lord here, but they still gave up the idea.
They didn't want to be like the few people who were left behind, so it was better to concentrate on escorting the two highnesses to have fun, which was safe and could add some merit to themselves in a sneaky way.
……
During the rest of the trip, Lorenno and the others encountered all kinds of things, such as robberies or monster attacks that happened every day.
Generally speaking, the monsters are hungry, so they want to attack their convoy regardless of the danger. As for robbery, the robbers are simply stupid. In fact, the information in the rural areas of the Fatir Kingdom is very limited, especially for civilians. .
Those robbers will probably have a hard time knowing what the emblems on the carriages symbolize in their lives. As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless, and they are naturally the same. They have less intuition than monsters, so that the robbers died in the hands of the guards. in hand.
