"Butcher, aren't we going to chase?" At the same time, Bacher and Udi from behind also saw Narant and his Storm team.
Udi originally wanted to catch up immediately, but was stopped by Commander Bacher.
"Udi, I think this Nalant is very weird. Last time in the valley, he used crossbows to cause huge casualties to our Royal Knights!"
"Also, he was able to annihilate 800 giant forest knights with just a few hundred men, so we must be careful and don't stay too far away from the infantry!"
Since the incident in the valley, Bacher has become more cautious in his actions, especially when facing Nalant who also has a crossbow.
It was Butcher's caution in not leaving the infantry and moving forward alone that prevented him from suffering the same fate as Bink.
Otherwise Nalant will definitely ambush them from the front.
Even if masters like Bacher and Udi cannot be killed, their horses will definitely be destroyed.
"Commander Bacher, I know this, but Nalanant's people are all sitting on the carriage. I'm afraid our ordinary guards will not be able to catch up in the long run!" The enemy was close at hand, but could not attack immediately. Udi was a little worried.
Unwilling to be reconciled, he is now very eager to take revenge.
"Udi, I can understand your mood!"
"However, I remember that there is a big river more than 20 miles west of your giant forest city. If you want to cross the river, you must go down the river and cross it. There are so many carriages, which will definitely take a lot of time. As long as we continue
Follow along, and when we get to the river, are you afraid they will be able to escape?"
Bacher comes to the Marquis of Lisen every year to deal with the army of the Agate Principality, so he is very familiar with the terrain of the Marquis of Lisen.
"That's right! I almost forgot! Bacher, then I'll listen to you!" When Udi heard this, he immediately thought of the river ahead. He was so eager to take revenge that he didn't think of it before, but now he immediately agreed!
…
Narant was actually relieved when he saw that the cavalry in the rear did not pursue him immediately.
However, the crisis lingering in his mind has not been resolved. He knows that the enemy is just worried about him now, so he does not pursue it with all his strength.
But you can never defeat the other party.
Even though serf coolies like myself have carriages to ride on, there are too many people, and it would be no problem to travel for half a day or a few hours.
But if you sit on it and run away quickly every day, this is not realistic. The horse may be exhausted by then.
"Sir, do you want to put this armor away?" On the way back, when they arrived outside the small woods, Quick suddenly asked.
He was referring to the enemy squad leader who was killed by Nalant earlier.
This squad leader is a royal knight, and his armor is brand new.
"There is no need for the armor, just take the horse away!" Nalant shook his head. It was important to escape now, and it was not worthwhile to slow down for armor weighing dozens of kilograms.
On the contrary, the horses beside them that had lost their owners could not be spared. The captain's horse was an excellent horse and was also covered with armor.
"Yes, sir!"
Immediately, Quick led several war horses, and the men continued to move forward to catch up with the convoy, and then fled towards the west.
The pursuers of the Northern Principality continued to send dozens of knights behind to monitor them.
But this time the knight responsible for monitoring them was smarter. He stayed more than a mile away and only saw the whereabouts of their team from a distance.
Seeing this situation, Nalant thought that he and others could run for at least one day, and that he would still have some time to think about countermeasures.
But just half an hour later, he discovered that he had thought wrong, because a large river appeared in front of him and could block the team.
"What's going on? Why didn't you tell me there was a big river ahead?" Two or three miles away from the river, Narant received a report from Shirley, saying that bees had discovered the river ahead, and there was no bridge nearby.
As a result, they will have no way to escape.
This made Nalant furious, and he immediately asked Quick to call over the captive guard who was leading the way.
"Sir Nalant, I didn't know that there were pursuers behind me before, and... and although there is no stone bridge on the river in front, there is a very shallow river beach. We used to walk across it by swimming in the water!"
The little guard who led the way felt wronged. Nalant had not told them before that there were pursuers behind them, so after choosing to take this road, the guard only said that they could reach the edge of the desert by walking straight ahead.
He didn't know Nalant was running away until the Royal Knights caught up with him.
At this time, he will naturally not look for trouble.
One is to hope that the pursuers from behind can catch up and rescue them.
Secondly, I was worried that if I spoke out now, Narant might become so angry that he would sacrifice himself to heaven.
After hearing the explanation and seeing the little guard shaking like a millet, Nalant knew that he couldn't blame him.
The little guard had tried his best to lead the way all the way, but today he chose to escape through this road because he was forced to do so. It was not because the little guard wanted to plot against them.
"Take it down!" Nalant waved to his men.
"Sir, why don't I take the serfs and run away separately to buy time for you to cross the river!" Seeing his lord's brows furrowed, Quick once again raised his previous opinion.
"Sir, it would be a great honor for both my subordinates and serfs to die for you!" Worried that Nalant would not agree, Quick added.
Upon hearing this, Nalant looked at the more than 300 ordinary serfs in the convoy, and then at Quick.
If they abandoned these more than 300 serfs and unnecessary carriages, they could indeed escape quickly.
But can he, a dignified time traveler, do such a thing?
Based on what he has done in the hinterland of the Marquis of Lisen these days, if a group of serfs are caught by the pursuers, there is absolutely no chance of survival.
Master, am I really going to give up my car to save my handsome man?
At this moment, Nalant suddenly saw the war horse led by Quick.
"etc!"
Narant suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
He came up with a bold plan.
Although this plan is a bit dangerous, it should ensure the convoy's safe escape.
"Quick, sacrifice you for the safety of me, the lord. I have never done such a thing before, and I will never do it in the future! You don't need to mention it again!"
After thinking of countermeasures, Nalant was ready to take the opportunity to raise his thoughts on personality worship again, but refused righteously.
Sure enough, after hearing Nalant's righteous words, whether it was Quirk or others, or Vivian and others, their eyes towards Nalant were filled with sacredness at this moment.
His admiration for his elders has reached a new level.
After a pause, Quick continued: "But, sir, the moment I pledge my allegiance to you, my subordinates and others are ready to sacrifice their lives for you at any time!"
"I understand your loyalty and courage, sir!" Nalant nodded happily, enjoying the admiration of everyone, "However, sir, I have a better countermeasure now, so now is not the time for you to sacrifice!"
Immediately, Nalant changed the topic and began to tell the plan he had just thought of!
