Chapter 437: Apply eye drops!(2/2)
This group of people is Bacher, Udi and others.
Since the traces of Nalant and others were identified last night, and then relying on the rangers in the team to identify the escape traces of Nalant and others along the road, they continued to pursue them without stopping all night long.
Nalant and others each have two war horses, and this trace is quite obvious.
When they arrived at the place where Narante had stayed, the ranger immediately pointed to the marks left by the stampede and collision of horses on the roadside and reported.
After a pause, the ranger reported again strangely: "However, Commander, there seems to be only about twenty war horses in this trace, and the other twenty or so horses seem to have continued along the road towards the south!"
"Why are the cavalry and guards on duty in front not here!" After hearing the ranger's report, Bacher and Udy frowned and looked at each other, and then discovered that there was no one at the intersection ahead where the checkpoint was supposed to be.
"Butcher, which direction do you think they will go?" Obviously, Nalant used a blind trick after escaping here to split the war horse into two.
"Udi, I think we should chase towards the west first. My army is there in the south, and there are our people along the way. It is unlikely that they will go there!"
"Even if they really take the risk and flee south, we can confirm the situation within only a few dozen miles to the west. It won't take too much time to inquire about the situation and turn back immediately!"
"Okay!" Udi felt it made sense after hearing this.
If Nalant went to the west, as long as he could get through the checkpoint dozens of miles away, it would be difficult to catch him later.
But if they go south, even if Nalant temporarily escapes their pursuit, they still have a lot of opportunities to block Nalant.
Immediately, Wu Di and others did not delay and immediately followed the traces towards the west.
…
When Narant and the others set foot on the road to the south, they arrived at a small town in a barony after just over three hours of running.
The heirs of the left-behind nobles in this territory have long been frightened by Nalant's invasion, and are currently taking refuge in Jusen City.
On the other hand, the civilian serfs in the town had to return to the town to continue their lives because no enemies appeared after two days of hiding.
Nalant and his group of more than 20 royal knights appeared in the town fully armed and immediately became the focus of the street.
The surrounding townspeople secretly looked at these mighty knights.
Nalant frowned when he saw this, this was not what he wanted to see.
Even before reaching the places where the Royal Knights often hang out, their small group was still very conspicuous.
After pondering for a moment, Nalant whispered a few instructions to Quick.
"Yes, sir!" After hearing this, Quick immediately accepted the order, then changed his eyes and looked at the civilians on the surrounding streets with a fierce look.
Snapped!
"What are you looking at? Your dog eyes are blinded. You stinking maggots, get out of here!"
Quick found a young and strong civilian and swung his whip fiercely, cursing fiercely in his mouth.
"ah!"
The civilian was struck directly on the thigh by a whip, and he screamed and fell to the ground.
However, Nalant and his party remained arrogant and did not even look at the civilian who fell to the ground.
"Come here, sir, I have something to ask you, you stinky maggot!" Before it was over, Quick pointed at a salt vendor and cursed!
"Ride... Sir Knight, what are your orders?" The salt vendor trembled like chaff when he heard the words, and tremblingly came to Quik.
"Sir, let me ask you, have you been doing business on this road?"
"Yes...yes, Lord Knight!"
"Then have you seen cavalry other than our Royal Knights or the Giant Forest Knights passing through here recently? They are a cavalry team of more than 20 people?"
"No, Sir Knight!" the vendor replied after thinking for a moment.
Snapped!
"Trash!" After receiving the answer, Quick swung his whip again, whipping the hawker around.
The civilians around him were seen trembling all over.
But Nalant and others still turned a blind eye and continued to move forward.
And, every time we go more than a hundred meters, something like this will happen again.
This was repeated until they left the town, and then the group of people rode towards the south with great momentum.
"Quick, did you control your strength just now?"
"Sir, don't worry. Although my equestrian skills are not as good as those of the elite extraordinary knights, I am very confident in my whip-cracking skills!"
"When I was an ordinary guard, I spent two years punishing petty thieves and bandits. If I want to prevent them from getting out of bed for five days, then there will never be one day less or one day more!"
"Those civilians just looked very painful when they were beaten by their subordinates. In fact, the bruises will dissipate after two or three days!"
"Very good!" Nalant nodded with satisfaction.
The reason why he came out to the small town like this was to give eye drops to the pursuers.
He knew very well that the more than 20 war horses to the west probably wouldn't last long before their secrets were revealed, so concealing their whereabouts was the key.
With such an incident, I believe it would be difficult for the pursuers to inquire about their whereabouts.
Next, Nalant and the others headed south without looking back.
And every time I pass through a small town or encounter pedestrians on the road, I will do the same thing.
