Lei Shuiyun was very happy to meet new friends again.
In a small forest, after chatting, Maomao almost completed his task.
"Thank you. Please tell him that this is an opportunity. He should also be very interested in the power of the crown system."
Catherine doesn't play tricks and talks directly.
After all, she couldn't understand Maomao's flattery, polite words, or political temptations, but just his obedience was enough to make him Lu Ping'an's most trusted partner.
The two troubled royal family members appeared in the border area. Although it was a bit puzzling under the current circumstances, since they were here, they naturally caused a lot of waves.
They were trapped in this remote area. They were pursued by a group of "nameless bandits", but they had weapons, equipment and personnel at the level of the Kingdom's legions.
"Are these the powerful Red Sand Bandits and Evil Bone Bandits of this generation? Their strength is comparable to that of the kingdom's second-tier knights, including at least three great knights (Silver)."
A knight from the royal capital commented that it was obvious that he had no idea that the famous Red Sand Bandits were visitors from outside the land, nor did he know that the Evil Bone Bandits and the Red Sand Bandits had been mostly destroyed.
The most outrageous thing is that what he said was actually correct.
Because among the team chasing them, there really was a member of the Evil Bones Gang. Evil Bones himself!
As a former secret agent, he has his own information channels and can make use of the information network deployed by the royal family on the border.
When the two highnesses, who didn't know the heights of the world, used the secret information channels at the border, the high authority from the royal authority allowed Xie Gu, one of the highest authority holders in the area, to immediately know the fact that the royal family members had arrived at the border.
Next, it was simple. He followed the clues and easily found out the situation of the royal family members and then immediately sold the information!
"Everyone, what we are doing is beheading. Now that we have taken action, we can no longer hesitate."
On a hillock, Evil Bones, who no longer needed to hide his face, faced several masked knights, maliciously inciting them.
Fenn Territory, Gulekdas Territory, Huihuang Territory, two viscounties and one barony, are considered powerful local factions. Instead of considering shopping around, Evil Bones directly sold the information to six companies, and the border lords got a copy.
, but only three families came.
Those lords sent out their own elite knights, who pretended to be bandits under the "leadership" of Evil Bones, and naturally had evil intentions.
This group of royal family members does not even have a silver-level leader on the surface. They are so poor and weak that it is no wonder they are regarded as big fat sheep.
What do the lords think? It doesn't matter whether they want the political value of the royal family itself, or the treasures, intelligence, and secrets they carry with them.
The point is that they are already here, they have revealed the butcher's knife to the royal family, and they have already made a lot of money selling information. Even though he is the team leader, he may run away at any time.
They ambush these unlucky guys in Fenn Territory, but were discovered by the other party in advance. They actually escaped all the way, and now they have reached the border. Once they have really reached the ownerless zone of the Gray Forest, pursuit becomes unrealistic. At this moment,
Under the circumstances, any force is valuable.
Now, they fled to Stone Cellar Village, the border of Schlailand. For some reason, Schlailand was the only lord in the border area who did not receive the offer from Evil Bones.
By the way, even if the other lords did not send anyone here, they did purchase a complete set of information about Evil Bones and watched the two highnesses suffer, which shows that the dignity of the royal family has long been ruined.
Maybe there are lone strongmen sent by the other three lords in the shadows, ready to take advantage of the opportunity.
But judging from the results, this "many people and mixed opinions" has become the root cause of the pursuit being unsatisfactory, and the great knights have also reached the limit of pursuit.
At this point in time, everything is false. The right to survive and the force necessary to fight for the right to survive are everything.
The lord will not let his knights pursue endlessly. Once they cross the line, they will naturally ask them to return.
"In the south, there is a glimmer of hope."
Under the guidance of a certain prophet, this team encountered the patrolling knights of Schleyland in a small village.
But then, the pursuers arrived, and there were several conflicts. Catherine showed amazing results in the conflicts, like a holder of the Silver Flame blessed by fate, so that the old silvers who were not easy to reveal their identities were all
Very hesitant.
In fact, the real hesitation of these knights was the matter of taking action against the royal family.
Some of them learned the "truth", but most of them still had nostalgia and belief in the royal family, and even subconsciously felt that their lords had done something wrong.
This is the result of the long-term education of feudal monarchs and subjects, but more importantly, even if the lords have ship tickets, there are extremely few who can use them to bribe their elite combat power, and they are really willing to follow their path.
Naturally, there are not many black men, and it is impossible for the lords to tell too much truth, otherwise the collapse of social order will accelerate. Many knights who are chasing the royal family are still in a state of confusion.
The masked knights actually had several opportunities to kill and intercept the two His Highnesses, but due to various coincidences and each other's hindrance, they finally escaped to the border.
The high-level combat power among the attackers was ineffective, and among those being pursued was a rare profession called "Prophet of Destiny". In addition, Schley collar intervened, and in the end it was the pursuers who were outnumbered.
People are blocked, but they don't have the determination and courage to take it down.
When Schleier's reinforcements arrived at an extremely fast speed, including an obviously high-level cleric (Marian), these pursuers once again wavered many of them, and they did not want to complete the mission from the beginning.
After all, the evil act of "hunting down the royal family" violates a series of moral rules of knights. If he was the only one present, he could still kill him, but now the great knights from other territories are also there. If he really hurts His Highness,
, what should I do if I am held accountable by the royal family after the news spreads? Will the lords protect themselves? They will just throw them away like a rotten rag.
This is the bad habit of not disclosing information enough, and it is also the real reason for the knights' hesitation. They looked at each other with their masks on, and could see the retreat in the other's eyes.
The Evil Bones who witnessed all this felt strange, and even thought that if he had only given the information to one family, he might have solved everything.
But now, having taken the resources and money, he is ready to leave at any time and buy a boat ticket from a stranger.
In fact, there are already several territories where outsiders are selling "ship tickets" semi-openly, but the price is extremely high, and the authenticity and safety cannot be expected at all.
Unlike Lu Ping'an's visible "smuggling ship", no matter how fanciful the claims made by other outsiders, their authenticity needs to be questioned, not to mention that many of them are liars.
Evil Bones has contacted several more reliable ones, but their quotes are all very high.
Reinforcements arrived in front of them, but the great knights on their side were still procrastinating. In fact, Evil Bones had already planned to retreat.
Although the treasures are good because of his royal status, he may not be able to cash in the gains now that he is alone. It is best to make a fortune and leave.
But now, looking at those old acquaintances among the "reinforcements", he was filled with hatred, but he was unwilling to give up.
