And when Narant and the others were running away, Bacher, Udi and others finally caught up to the river where the army was stationed.
"So, there are no people on those war horses?" Udi looked gloomy.
"Yes, Lord Commander, we didn't know it when we started pursuing it because the grass in the wilderness was too tall and blocked our view!"
"It wasn't until we chased him for more than ten miles and left the wasteland that we discovered the situation!"
"But at that time, my horse didn't obey orders, and our guards were left behind and couldn't get our orders!"
"In the end, we were brought to the river by those war horses, and we could only watch as dozens of war horses all jumped into the river!"
"Asshole!" Udi no longer wanted to delve into why the war horse was still going crazy despite Nalant's absence.
Instead, they gritted their teeth and hated that they had been tricked by Nalant once again, which made them, the dignified leaders, lose face.
"Did he really go south? Isn't that asking for death?" Bacher was still calm at this time, frowning and saying.
"Is it possible that he is still heading towards the west, but just deceived our guards and hid in the woods behind?" Udi could only choose to calm down after hearing this.
"It's possible, but we have to check the roads to the south!" Bacher nodded.
"It's better than this. The two of us will go to the south with the cavalry to check, and let all the subordinates search carefully along the way back!"
"good!"
Bacher and Udi made an immediate decision.
Start taking action now.
After spending four or five hours, the two finally led their troops to the southern road and soon arrived at the first noble territory.
"During this period, the rear cavalry does not appear frequently. If Nalant and others pass by here, someone will definitely see it. When we enter the town later, we will ask first and then check the situation!"
The two arrived at the entrance to the small town in the territory and had a discussion.
"Okay!" Immediately, the two of them entered the town with their subordinates.
But when a group of them entered the town, the civilians on the streets of the town were shocked. The civilians who were still walking got into the alleys on the roadside.
Only those hawkers who opened shops had no choice but to hide behind their goods and act like ostriches.
Bacher and Udi didn't think much about it, thinking that these civilians were afraid when they saw the large number of them and others.
And this is also the norm for commoners and serfs to see nobles. It would be strange if they were not afraid.
The two immediately gave orders to several subordinates. After receiving the orders, these subordinates immediately walked to the shops on both sides, preparing to inquire about Nalant's whereabouts.
"Hey, come here!" One of the royal knights walked to a shop.
What a coincidence, this is the salt shop Narant chose earlier.
"Master... Knight, you... what are your orders!" The salt seller froze, secretly saying that his life was miserable, but his face was still flattering, trembling and respectful.
"Did you see a cavalry group passing through the town today, about twenty people in number?"
"Again, are you inhumane dogs full of food?" The vendor cursed in his heart, then shook his head and said, "Master Knight, except for you, no other cavalry passed by here today!
"
"Are you sure you really didn't see it?"
"Sir Knight, I am sure that no other cavalry will pass by here today!" After saying this, the vendor shrank his neck.
Fortunately, the whip he expected did not come, so he felt a little relieved.
But the royal knight didn't ask for any useful information. He frowned and ignored the hawker, turned his horse around and left in high spirits.
"Bah, what a piece of shit!" The vendor lowered his head and spat again.
…
"My lord, they said no cavalry passed through here today!"
"Sir, that's what we asked. They didn't notice any other cavalry passing by!"
After a while, several cavalrymen who had been dispersed came back to report.
"Are they still behind, or have they passed around the town?" Bacher and Udi were really confused now.
As long as this team of more than 20 people passes through this small town, it is impossible for no one to see it. After all, war horses and cavalry are rare.
"Udi, otherwise, I will continue to lead the Royal Knights in pursuit southward for a certain distance. You go back and search the rear carefully. Maybe Narant is really hiding behind and wants to wait for us to relax our guard before he can escape again.
!" Bacher thought for a moment and thought of the biggest possibility.
Now, they had completely lost the whereabouts of Nalant and others, so they could only split up their operations.
Of course, from their previous inquiries, they subconsciously felt that it was still unlikely that Nalant would go south.
"good!"
Immediately, Udi and Bacher started taking action in two directions.
…
In the next two days, thanks to the eye drops they were given, the whereabouts of Nalant and the others were not exposed.
After running wildly along the road for two days, Nalant and others got closer and closer to Oak City.
However, at this time, Narant became more vigilant.
Because as we get closer to Oak City, the surrounding population begins to increase, whether it is ordinary civilians or the army of the Northern Principality.
Fortunately, because they were covered in tiger skin, the ordinary guards of the Northern Principality did not dare to provoke them.
When you see them arrogant and arrogant, you will give way to the roadside from a distance, nod and bow down to let them pass.
"Sir, the clothes of this royal knight are really useful!" Quick saw that the journey was uneventful, and the pursuers behind him were nowhere to be seen, and his original worries gradually dissipated.
"Don't be too happy! We haven't gotten close to the Northern Principality's army yet. This identity is quite useful. But when we get close to the Northern Principality's army, we have to be careful. If there is any flaw, we will be attacked by hundreds of thousands of troops.
Siege!”
"Yes, sir!" Quirk and the others immediately responded.
"Well, let's go! Just act natural!" Seeing that several people were getting nervous again, Nalant smiled and comforted them again.
Then, they spent another day and finally approached the outside of Oak City.
And when they arrived near Oak City, they were surrounded by guard cavalry from the Northern Principality.
There were also groups of convoys transporting grain and fodder to the front lines.
Although Nalant really wanted to ask about the current status of the Agate Principality's army, for the sake of safety, he held back and just stayed behind these convoys, heading south.
When these motorcades saw their appearance, not only did they not dare to ask about their origins, but they also sent grilled meats during lunch and dinner to show their hospitality.
After following the convoy for another two days, seeing that it was gradually getting closer to the army ahead, Narant also began to think about how to break through the enemy's defense line and escape.
