Chapter 497 [Double return]

"Door, get off the boat! Lend them the boat!"

Chen Daolin made such a decision, which surprised everyone on the boat.

What else did the church chief try to say, but although Chen Daolin's expression seemed calm, his eyes were very firm, and he shook his head gently at him.

The head of the church understood that the Pope told him to be respectful nobles, and he had made up his mind and would not change it.

Before coming, Heinx had explained to several leaders of the church that he must be polite and respectful when treating Chen Daolin along the way. Try not to refute Chen Daolin's decision. If Chen Daolin instructs to do anything, as long as it is not too out of order, try to satisfy it.

Although Chen Daolin decided to let everyone get off the boat and give the boat to these troops, this approach made the people in the church feel a little humiliated. But after calming down, the head of the church thought about it, it seemed that this was the only choice.

These officers in the army clearly had a tough attitude, and did not enter the country. They took out their church identity to negotiate with them, but they did not buy it at all. Even if this approach was unruly, they could certainly return to the imperial capital afterwards and then find the place through the official relationship of the Temple of Light.

But tonight, this loss is certain!

Otherwise, what else can we do? Could it be that we are really fighting head-on with these troops here?

Those Holy Knights are not afraid at all, and they fight at all. Of course, these "professional thugs" trained by the church since childhood are not afraid. However, as the chief leaders in the church, it is not so simple to consider things.

These troops are very determined and anxious, obviously a shocking case! It is definitely not a clever move to break up with them at this time, and they will be investigated afterwards. If you make a big fuss, with the current momentum of the Temple of Light, you may not get any advantage.

...

The ship quickly stopped and stopped. The troops were quite polite. Perhaps for the sake of the magician badge Chen Daolin took out, he took the initiative to send several small boats to pick up Chen Daolin and others on the ship with a small boat, and then a large number of soldiers boarded the ship and took over the big ship.

After Chen Daolin and others arrived on the shore, they could not help but be surprised when they saw the troops deployed on the shore.

Teams of fully armed royal city guards have arrived here. The archers have been prepared to seize various favorable terrains on the shore. The cavalry also looks strong.

In the darkness, I counted it briefly, but I was afraid that the number of people was no less than a thousand, and there were troops coming one after another on the road in the distance, marching in a hurry on the distance with torches.

Such a scene and such a scale also made those tough-minded people in the church feel a bit lucky: Fortunately, they didn't turn against each other just now, otherwise, with the strength of both sides, the loss tonight would be a big loss.

The deputy commander of the royal city guards and the officers of the Imperial Guards had a much better attitude, probably because they got the ship and looked at Chen Daolin's appearance. They couldn't figure out his identity and origin, and they heard that Chen Daolin knew Gu Le, so they were much more polite. They even ordered people to give up some tents used by the army in the distance for Chen Daolin and others to rest.

Several more officers were sent to help them arrange the garrison, and they also said that as long as the thieves were intercepted, the ship would be returned.

Chen Daolin refused to comment, but just took the people to receive the rest tents provided by the army - the resting place was quite a distance away from the river bank. I think even if the fight started in a while, it would not affect the place.

The army even sent people to deliver some food and water.

Although the people in the church were a little indignant, they had to accept it.

Chen Daolin took his three disciples to occupy the largest tent. Seeing that the nobleman had no intention of communicating with him, he was afraid that he would pinch his nose to comfort his subordinates.

In the tent, Chen Daolin glanced at his three disciples, hesitated for a moment, and his eyes fell on Sasha: "I'll leave for a while. Sasha will be responsible for the matter here first. You can listen to her arrangements for the time being. If there is anything, it will be up to her to decide."

Among the three disciples, although Lucius was his first entry disciple, the son of the governor, except for his talent in magic, had a low emotional intelligence - otherwise he would not have done anything stupid to go to make a big fuss about the wedding scene.

As for McQueen, this necromancer is almost fooled by Chen Daolin to become a chef.

It is most suitable for Sasha, an alchemist, but she is very smart and clever person.

What the three young students wanted to ask, but Chen Daolin waved his hand: "I'll go back and see... The person who can kidnap Gu Le, I'm curious who has this ability. I won't be able to go there for too long. You'll rest here for one night, and I should be able to come back before dawn tomorrow. If it's dawn and I can't come back, you can go on the road first, continue walking forward, and wait for me in the next town."

The three young men hesitated for a moment and nodded. Sasha thought for a while and asked more: "Teacher, if you didn't come back before dawn, the people in the church will ask..."

"I can't tell them anything." Chen Daolin said lightly: "Where do I need to explain to them where I am going? If they want to, go with you. If they don't want to, go your own, don't worry about them."

...

"Very!!!Very!!!Very..."

Lying in the grass on the shore, Fiona vomited in a dark and barely knelt down and raised her body, but she still felt her whole body sore and weak and her hands and feet were weak.

Fiona was originally very poor in water, but was put into the water by Hook. He drank a lot of water along the way. After getting ashore, his clothes were soaked. In the middle of the night, when the cold wind blew, his whole body trembled.

Dixon next to him saw Fiona's appearance and felt unbearable. He took out a clean robe from the storage ring he carried with him and threw it over: "Miss Fiona, put it on."

Fiona grabbed her robe, wrapped it around her body, raised her head and glared at Dixon fiercely, and then stared at Hook: "Mr. Hook! You...you did this. Have you ever thought about the consequences!"

Hook smiled coldly: "The consequences? Miss Fiona, you know, I am saving your life, and I am saving your ship of Tulips' family's lives! If you are chased by pursuers or intercepted on the water, they will fight to protect you from being caught. At that time, I am afraid that none of them will survive! Are you going to kill those brave warriors for the so-called breath in your heart?"

Fiona was shocked and told herself rationally that what Hook said might make sense, but after all, she was still holding her breath in her heart and gritted her teeth and said, "What you said may not happen. We may not be able to rush out..."

"So do you have to bet? Use the lives of a ship of people to bet on your breath?" Hook sneered: "When did the Tulips manager use the responsibility of a fool like you? Humph... It's just that there are too many stupid superiors like you who don't regard the lives of their subordinates as their lives..."

Speaking of this, a hint of anger flashed in Hook's eyes, as if he had remembered something... Then he shook his head and turned his head.

Hook opened the grass and listened to the sound of the wind in the distance.

He walked to the land on the shore again, lay on the ground, listened to the ground for a while, then stood up and said slowly: "There is a sound of army marching in front of us, and it is very dangerous to go forward or backward. It is better to go south and stay away from the river bank. As long as you stay away from the river bank, they may not be able to find our traces in this night. After dawn, we will have already walked away."

As he said that, he came up and pulled Fiona up and said coldly: "Are you going by yourself or will I carry you?"

Fiona spat out a mouthful of the river in her mouth: "You don't have to carry it! I am not as weak as you think! If... If it weren't for your sneak attack, you thought you could catch me so easily!"

Hook sneered and winked at Dixon: "Did you bring something that can go fast?"

Dixon thought for a while: "I brought a flying broom, but I could only bear the weight of two people at most, and I wouldn't be able to fly any more."

"Then let's walk first. Wait until you find a place where people live. Find a way to get a horse."

Hook sighed.

The three of them left the shore one after another and headed towards the depths of the land.

Although Fiona was annoyed, at this moment, things had come to this point and simply stopped resisting and calmed down to escape together.

The three of them did not dare to walk the main road, so they simply left the road and walked deep into the wilderness.

This was originally a densely populated area of ​​the Roland Empire, not far from the imperial capital.

On both sides of the road, you can see large areas of farmland after walking for a while.

At this time, the harvest was over, and the farmland was filled with large wheat poles after harvest. The three of them got into the wheat poles and walked forward.

Hook took a knife in his hand and opened the way in front, pushing away the dense wheat pole blocking in front of him.

The three of them left for about an hour, and suddenly they heard a few loud noises from afar behind them!

The three of them immediately stopped and turned around!

I saw a ball of fire in the distance behind me.

Although the distance is very far, the light is very obvious because it is night.

Fiona's face changed, and Hook said in a deep voice: "It should be our ship, which was intercepted on the water. These guys must be attacking with fire!"

Fiona looked miserable, Hook looked at her and said nothing. Dixon kindly comforted: "You don't have to worry too much. Didn't we explain when we left? If your people encounter an interception, don't stand it. If you can't defeat them, you will surrender. Anyway, as long as they save Gu Le, they shouldn't make things difficult for those subordinates. Their goal is to capture you. As for those ordinary guards, as long as they surrender, they shouldn't be too much of a damage."

Fiona bit her lip hard.

Sure enough, the three of them stopped and looked for a while. There seemed to be no other movement in the distance, and there was no sound of fighting. It seemed that the firelight quickly dimmed.

I think the battle will end soon. There shouldn't be too many people.

"Stop looking, let's go quickly." Hook whispered: "After they took the boat, they didn't find us. They knew that we were not on the boat, and would send troops to search everywhere. If we go a little further, we will be safe."

The three of them walked in the wild with difficulty. After walking through a wheat field, they saw several families.

Unfortunately, the village was too small. Hook went closer and searched around but couldn't find any horses. Instead, he found a few sheep and a cow. He had no choice but to give up.

After crossing the village, there was a small forest, and the three of them immediately rushed in.

I walked like this in the middle of the night. Calculate the time and it shouldn't be too far from dawn.

But just as the three of them gradually let go of their hearts, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves from afar behind them!

The three of them bent down quickly!

Hooker listened to the ground for a while, raised his head and lowered his voice, "Cavals! There are many people, at least two brigades!"

He pointed in the two directions behind: "Here, here, there are pursuers! Hell. How did they find them!"

Hook looked at Fiona and Dickson intently. Fiona looked a little ugly: "How do I know, I don't have anything to be found on me."

"Is it a hound?" Dixon frowned: "Miss Fiona, you didn't apply any powder?"

Fiona glanced at him: "Even if there is, it would be gone after soaking in the water for so long!"

Hook shook his head: "No, it should be just a coincidence. Let's continue walking into the woods!"

The three of them stood up and quickly walked into the woods at a faster speed.

But after walking for a while, I suddenly stopped!

Just because there was a rapid sound of horse hooves right in front of me!

Hook looked ugly, and quickly turned over and climbed up a tree, looked forward for a while, and after he got down, his eyes were gloomy: "Oh no! The front of this forest is over... There are cavalry in front, maybe they were passing by just now, and they surrounded us."

As he said that, he glared at Dixon fiercely.

Dixon immediately cried out: "What are you doing when you glar at me!"

Hook snorted: "As long as you are there, you will be lucky! Otherwise, it would be dark at night, so why would these pursuers not go anywhere but came here."

"Hey! Hook, what you said is unreasonable." Dixon rolled his eyes.

The cavalry outside the woods in front actually stopped. It seemed that after about the midnight pursuit and search, it stopped by the forest for a short rest.

The three of them dared not continue to move forward, so they had to quietly hinder their legs.
To be continued...
