Mount and Blade

Madwu Xiu tried to fight back with the broken blade sword in his left hand, but Silver Wolf gave him no chance and dragged him back and forth mercilessly.

Ludvik continued to attack Madwuxiu, and even a strong man could hardly escape the bite of this huge silver wolf.

Although Madwuxiu was in unbearable pain, he still resisted and tried to fight back. He used his broken blade sword to make deep marks on the ground to support his body and maintain balance, while constantly cursing Silver Wolf. However, Ludvik nimbly went around behind him and pounced on him again, targeting his left leg. Madwuxiu stumbled to the left, but he also took the opportunity to scratch Ludvik's forelimb with the broken blade sword. Silver Wolf took a few steps back in pain and let out a low roar. Madwuxiu also took this opportunity and immediately stood up from the ground.

Seeing this, Shikel ignored the shock and confusion in his heart, picked up the hilt of the broken sword on the ground, and rushed towards Madwu Xiu. She saw the moment when Madwuxi was restrained by Ludvik, and struck him on the waist with the hilt of her sword.

Madwuxiu's center of gravity was unstable and he fell to the side. Ludvik took the opportunity to pounce him to the ground again, trying to bite his neck, but Madwuxiu gave up the broken sword and blocked the road with his two big hands. Dwek's bloody mouth was struggling desperately.

"Your Highness, what are you waiting for?! Just catch them...!!" Madwuxiu struggled to support himself, secretly cursing Edward in his heart for why he didn't come over to help. Could it be that he has come this far and still wants to turn back? ?

Edward stared blankly at this scene, the expression on his face changing unpredictably. Hickel walked towards Edward slowly, with scrutiny and pain in his eyes: "Edward, you must give me an explanation, what happened?" Edward's lips trembled, and just as he was about to speak, there was suddenly a burst of noisy footsteps outside.

It was Edward's soldiers and Shadow Hands who broke in. How could the guards outside not hear such a loud movement inside the house? They are here to protect the Lord, and they also serve as shadowmen to monitor Edward.

Looking at Hickel who felt sorry for himself, Edward suddenly smiled with relief. At the very least, he could still preserve the last trace of dignity in Hickel's heart.

At the very least, she was the only one who believed that she must have some difficulties.

"Run away, Hickel."

The haggard-looking man's face had returned to its usual softness, but it revealed that he had reached a point of no return...

He just told her to run away and leave this place that he could no longer control. This was the last thing he could do for her.

"...Go back to the "dragon"."

Sickle listened to Edward's words and froze as if he was struck by lightning. She couldn't use words to describe her mood at this moment. Edward's lonely look at this moment seemed to be deeply engraved into her soul... and would never be forgotten.

But the body reacted faster than the mind. Hickel seized the opportunity, picked up Benedicut and jumped out of the window to escape. The silver wolf followed closely behind his master.

"Something is going wrong, Your Highness. I'm really confused. If those two people escape back to Gulenberudo, it won't be a question of whether there are hostages. This time the plan will be exposed to the world!" Suddenly Seeing this, Madwuxiu, who had saved his life, immediately knelt in front of Edward with his hands and knees covered in blood, showing an anxious expression and offered advice.

"At that time, you and the Grand Duke will be nailed to Grant's Pillar of Shame forever! You will never be reincarnated!"

Edward looked at Madwu Xiu with empty eyes, as if his soul had gone with Hickel. He watched Hickel and Benedicut leave the Fire Suppressing Palace before slowly saying: "Now that the matter is over, what else can we do?" How about it? There is no turning back, I don’t want to hurt her too.”

Edward's voice revealed endless fatigue, hoping that Sickle was safe. But he knew deep down in his heart that even if she died, she would prefer to die by Gulumberudo's side, right?

Madwuxiu was so anxious that veins popped up on his forehead, "Your Highness, we still have a chance to make amends. You can't give up everything because of the kindness of women. As long as you give the order, we will immediately send people to chase them, and we must meet up with Gulumberudo before they intercepted before.”

Edward just shook his head feebly, "Even if we send people, we may not be successful. Instead, we may expose more. Just let the army rush to the Fire Dragon's Lair."

At this time, the Shadow Hands also gathered around, and one of them said: "Your Highness, the Grand Duke has high hopes for this plan. If it fails, you know the consequences."

Edward smiled bitterly, "Of course I know." After saying that, he slowly walked to the window and looked at the direction in which Hickel left. It seemed that he had already run some distance away.

Seeing Edward so depressed, Madwood felt secretly resentful in his heart, but he still persisted in persuading: "Your Highness!!"

Madwood stepped forward and grabbed Edward's sleeve, and said eagerly: "Your Highness, the Grand Duke will not give up! It's still too late for you to turn back. As long as you capture the woman, the Grand Duke will definitely trust you again."

On the contrary, Edward spoke unhurriedly, "I understand, Madwood, go and capture them both alive."

"What... what are you talking about! If you are so soft-hearted, how can you catch them! This is the watershed that determines whether you become a king or a bandit!" Although Madwu Xiu was emotionally charged due to pain and anger, he still expressed calmly Have your own opinion.

"Since they defect to the man you hate, don't let this kind of woman go! They have chosen this path, and they can only do it one day at a time. It's time for you to wake up! Otherwise, you will definitely be backlashed by that fire dragon! Your mother... you can't fail again!"

"...I understand." Edward took a deep breath and turned to face Madwood, "I understand the pros and cons, but I also have my bottom line."

"...Yes." Madwu Xiu lowered his head helplessly and ordered to go after him, but in the shadow where Edward couldn't see, he asked the shadow hand to send a message to the Grand Duke.

Madwuxiu did not intend to do what Edward said. The shadowmen who went to hunt down Hickel and Benedicut rode their horses and went to the army to get bows and arrows.

He can't swallow this bad breath! A mere woman... Grant's heir is better than a loser...

.........

Benedicut sat on the back of the silver wolf, and Hickel rode the stolen horse. The two headed towards the "Fire Dragon's Lair".

"...Edward, why would you do something like that..." Hickel pursed her lips and muttered to herself. The look in Edward's eyes made her unforgettable for a long time.

"...Maybe it's because he was burned by the fire dragon's fire." Benedicut responded to Hickel's soliloquy.

"The fire of the dragon...?"

"No matter how much you yearn for or get close to you, you can't become a fire dragon... you can only let the flames burn your body. He must have been burned by the fire..."

Benedicut's words gave Hickel no time to think about it. Too many things happened in a short period of time.

"Let's talk about it later, we can already see the "Fire Dragon's Lair"!"

Hickel shouted, and the next moment, countless bows and arrows flew towards the two people with sharp whistling.

.........

——The junction of Fire Dragon's Lair and Chester Fortress——

Ever since he entered the battle, Gulenberudo always had a bad feeling. Moreover, Hickel and Edward were not around, so he would feel a little at a loss with only brute strength.

Speaking of which, what did Edward do? It seems that I haven't seen him since yesterday, and I didn't see Edward returning to the Halvorsen family's mansion at night.

However, this morning I heard from Hickel that Edward was summoned by the Archduke and never came back. Moreover, this mission seemed to be very urgent. When Hickel was called back to the Yohansen family, he received the news and came to find him, without even seeing his fiancé.

Ah, forget it, he just can't think clearly no matter how much he thinks about it.

The place the letter refers to is the hilly area near the ice-free port. Although it cannot be called a mountainous area, the slope is very sloping like other areas of the island. The washboard-like terrain stretched for several kilometers, and the terrain here was not suitable for cavalry operations.

A letter eagle carrying the emblem of the Halvorsen family hovered in the sky. It obviously noticed the 20,000 Judah soldiers ambushing in the mountains and forests in the distance.

"唳——!" The roar of an eagle attracted the attention of Judah's army, and at the same time, it also made Gulumberudo raise his head.
