Medieval White Elf Story

Flynn was most worried about three things. The royal family was becoming more and more unreliable, his own family was too weak, and he couldn't find anyone else to rely on. The combination of these three things made him feel like he was losing money. The situation of the En family is precarious, and now there is another problem: he is on the way to die again.

He was incapable of solving these problems, and the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. Finally, when he was about to arrive at his destination, he suddenly had an idea. It wasn't that he thought of a solution to the problem, but that he understood that being so entangled all the time was not the answer. It has no effect other than making yourself depressed every day and affecting your mood. It is better to just put it aside and not think about it, wait until things happen and then let nature take its course.

Once the psychological burden was gone, the whole mood became cheerful. The accompanying guards finally saw the long-lost smile on their young master's face.

However, this smile did not last long. When they arrived at a small town in the evening, they were stopped by the town's guards. As the leader of the guards, Artus hurried forward to negotiate, but After a long time, he still turned back with a dark face.

"What's going on?" Flynn felt a little strange. Ever since they entered Kranz's territory with great fanfare, the guards along the way knew that they were guests invited by the Duke, regardless of their concerns about the Bain family being guests of the Duke. Although they were doubtful, no one had ever dared to publicly embarrass them. Now it was the first time that they were stopped directly.

Artus said angrily: "I don't know the specific situation, but the leader of the guard said that they received an order from a big shot to block the town from entering or exiting, so we cannot stay here."

Flynn felt that things were a bit weird. There must be some hidden secret behind the inexplicable blockade of a town. He called Dibelli over, handed him a few silver coins, and motioned him to use other methods to find out the news. After all, Artus was serious. Baron, it would be inappropriate for him to do such a thing.

Dibelli came back cursing after being gone for a long time. He paid to bribe a small leader of the guard, but after receiving the money, the other party told him that he only knew that it was an order from a big shot, and he could do whatever he asked them to do, and for what purpose. I don't know, the money was wasted. If Flynn hadn't repeatedly told him not to conflict with the guards before going, he would probably have taken back the silver coins he gave out.

Flynn summoned the guards to discuss countermeasures.

"The guards must not be targeting us intentionally, otherwise they would definitely make up a reason and not be so vague." Artus was the first to express his opinion. "And there were other caravans that were stopped, and they couldn't be released."

Flynn agreed with this, but raised his own question: "It's true that the guards are not targeting us, but will anyone else want to target us?"

Artus said it was very possible, because it was getting dark now, and if they didn't live in the town, they could only stay in the wild for one night.Since the guards have sealed off the town, if someone wants to attack them in the wild, the town will obviously not come out to check, allowing them to deal with the aftermath calmly.

Flynn expressed doubts about this inference. After all, this town was very close to Quen. There was no need to set up an ambush on the previous section of the road without thinking about it, but they had to do it when they were about to arrive at Quen.Moreover, through the publicity along the way, the news of when he will arrive will probably reach Kunen City now. If something unexpected happens at this time, even if the news is blocked here, people in Kunen City will still speculate about him and his party. This is not a situation that Duke Zeon can accept as a human being.

Artus felt that this was the most cunning thing about Old Tibes. Because they had passed the journey safely before and were about to arrive at Quen, the guards could easily relax their vigilance, which would be more convenient for them to launch an ambush. Flynn was not sure about this. .

In any case, Artus suggested that we should not stay in the wild for a long time, but break the habit and rush all night, bypassing the town and running to the front to avoid possible ambushers, which might catch the enemy by surprise.

This suggestion was approved by most of the guards. Flynn himself was unsure, so he nodded and agreed to Artus' proposal.

At first, when the sun went down, I ran wildly, bypassing the town, and then as night fell, I had to slow down, otherwise it would be easy for people and horses to trip over obstacles on the ground and get injured.In addition, traveling at night is actually very prone to personal danger. With the long-term war in Estilia, many farmers who have lost their land and crop fields in the war have chosen to form groups of mobile bandits, often traveling along the road at night. Artus had many encounters with these guys when it came to robbing pedestrians or caravans. This was something Flynn and the others needed to be extra vigilant about.

Because the moonlight is very good tonight and the light is not too dark, Flynn suggested not using torches and moving slowly to ensure their own safety and make it difficult for the enemy to find them.

So the group of people moved forward cautiously in the dark, and continued on their way quietly until it was almost midnight, when they stopped to rest and eat some dry food to replenish their strength.

Under the dim moonlight, Flynn was leaning against a tree and eating dry bread. He was still thinking about the secrets hidden in the previous town. At this time, a guard suddenly ran over and reported: "There seems to be a fire ahead. .”

Everyone felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. The guards quickly drew their weapons and got closer. Flynn looked over according to the position where the guards found them. Sure enough, he could vaguely see the light of the fire.

Artus reacted quickly and immediately arranged for two followers to quietly approach to inquire about the situation. Everyone else got on their horses and prepared to take Flynn out of danger at any time if the situation went bad.

Before the guards could get closer, the lights that could only be vaguely visible gradually became more and more obvious. It seemed that a lot of people were coming towards Flynn's location.It's not a good choice to turn around and run away now, because it's easy to run away in the dark and be defeated by the enemies chasing after you.Flynn's guards mounted their horses one after another and put into a well-trained and alert formation, preparing to deal with the incoming uninvited guests.

Not long after, the fire was getting closer and closer. Flynn and the others could already hear the sound of people roaring and neighing in the wind, and then they saw several horses carrying knights in front, and a carriage behind them, heading toward them. The direction rushed over, and there seemed to be more fire behind the carriage.

This scene does not look like they are preparing to ambush Flynn and his enemies, but a group of guys who were also traveling all night but were accidentally ambushed and then fled for their lives in a hurry. It’s just that they don’t know who they are and who is chasing them. Some people.
