Chapter 677: The Promised Reunion

Although walking in the jungle greatly slowed down the speed of travel, it was safe and sound along the way. update the fastest

Three days later, Yorko and his party unexpectedly encountered a group of Greycastle soldiers searching along the road a few miles away from the border. The unique brown fur uniform and the long metal pipe behind him made him recognize each other at a glance. come.

Following the army back to Eternal Night City and meeting with Duke Kant, he finally understood what happened. After receiving Hill's report, His Majesty Roland directly sent two secret letters, one instructing the First Army originally stationed in Glen Town The detachment was divided into four teams, and they entered the dawn from four intersections at the junction of the two countries to meet the retreating diplomatic personnel. The other letter notified the Duke of the Northland to enter a state of combat readiness, in other words, to start raising food, cotton cloth, carriages and other supplies needed for combat. Once the main force arrived in the Northland, they could go straight to battle.

Fortunately, the messenger group was safe and sound.

When he said this, the Duke even let out a sigh of relief, and Yorko was flattered to hear it.

But what moved him the most was the reaction of his old friend to this matter.

Although he knew that the four witches in the team accounted for a large proportion, in the secret letter, the name of the ambassador Yorko was still mentioned, and he was ranked first. It was worth the fright and toss.

Yorko wrote a long letter about what happened during the evacuation, and handed it to the Duke, hoping that His Majesty would be able to lift the state of combat readiness in the North after receiving this letter. Now he finally knows that Hill is right, His Majesty treats this The attitude of things is not just casual talk.

In addition, he was also surprised by the response speed of the First Army, minus the time for the flying courier to send the letter back and forth, it means that the same day the order was received, this army that was originally used to guard against the remnants of the church and evil beasts launched an operation. It's not like he hasn't seen nobles mobilize troops to fight. It would take half a month just to gather knights, mercenaries and free people, let alone carry out missions in groups. As long as the team disperses and there are fewer supervisors, those mercenaries who received the advance payment may run away in one night.

This is probably the reason why the old friend was able to invade the capital one day.

Yorko now vaguely understands that His Majesty's army is different from anything he has seen before, not only in weapons, but also far superior to those noble vassals in every aspect.

At the same time, as an ambassador, he is not alone. The entire kingdom is not only his backing, but also his sharp edge. Thinking of this, he felt his chest swell, as if a flame was burning.

Now the only thing that worries Yorko is No. 76.

According to the agreement in advance, the first to come will hang a four-color flag in a conspicuous place of the residence. Duke Kant sent people to search the city of Evernight, but did not see a similar sign. Now that they lived in the mansion arranged by the Duke, they simply erected a flagpole directly at the door, letting the bright four-color canvas flutter in the wind. As long as you enter the inner city, you can see this sign at a glance.

In fact, he is not the only one who is worried about each other. Through the window, Yorko can often see Anne and Amy standing under the flagpole, obviously wanting to see No. 76 return safely as soon as possible. As they got along with each other gradually, Annie's attitude towards him changed little by little, at least she wouldn't stare at him warily like before.

Hill's subordinates have approached him more than once, hoping that he could set off for the west as soon as possible. The magician even told him straightforwardly that as a seducer, the chance of No. 76 surviving is very slim. If those knights hadn't come after them, she should have arrived at the border village a day later, and then arrived at Evernight City faster than their group. Now there is still no movement at the meeting place they agreed on, and the result is basically doomed.

Yorko also understands this truth, but he still wants to wait a few more days, not for anything else, just because of her parting words.

After the turmoil is over, I will meet you again in the border city of Graycastle, remember to wait for me there.

In the days after the separation, he finally understood where that strange feeling came from.

Although No. 76 was a slave in name, he never treated her as a slave, whether it was in the black money or in the Dawn Kingdom.

Yorko had decided that if she came back alive, he would set her free.

Unfortunately, this realization came too late.

Another three days passed, and just as he was planning to leave the Northland the next day, things suddenly turned around. A carriage stopped by the flagpole. The driver seemed quite anxious. He wanted to say something to the guard at the door, but hesitated. Don't dare to go forward. Yorko, who witnessed all this from the window, had no time to go out when the figures of Anne and Amy appeared beside the carriage.

Seventy-six is ​​back!

The news quickly reached the ears of every member of the envoy group, and even Duke Kant rushed over curiously, wanting to meet this brave maid.

But she wasn't doing well.

When Yorko saw No. 76, she was covered in bruises, her right hand and left foot were broken, and she could hardly move.

"My lord..." No. 76 blinked and put on a smile with difficulty, "I've been waiting for a long time."

In an instant, he felt his whole body relax.

"It's good that you come back."

The group continued to stay in Eternal Night City for another week, and did not leave for Yougu Town until No. 76's injuries stabilized, leaving Northland by boat.

During this time, Yorko also asked clearly what happened after the two separated.

She was chased by the Knights of the City of Light before the sun set. In order to delay the time as much as possible, she unhooked all the horses and drove them to run in the opposite direction to block the accelerating knights. At the same time, she changed her own and fled to the mountains beside the road . But before he ran far, he was blocked by a mountain stream.

Thinking that being caught would only lead to death, she jumped off the cliff more than ten feet deep. Fortunately, there were branches and vines on both sides of the rock wall, so she didn't fall to pieces, but in the process of rolling down, her head was broken, her hands and feet were broken by the protruding rocks, and she fell into a coma when she fell beside the stream past.

Probably because they didn't find a suitable way down the mountain, or thought she was dead, the knight didn't continue to pursue her. It was already late at night when she woke up, and she relied on the cold stream water to stay awake, occasionally catching one or two small fish and shrimp.

Two days later, the seventy-six-year-old was discovered by villagers fishing nearby and saved his life.

Although the hero can relieve the pain, he can't heal the wound. He can only send her to the west to see if the witch there can restore her to health.

Anyway, she finally came back alive!

Yorko stood contentedly on the bow of the ship, facing the wind, and the sailboat raised its sails and headed towards Neverwinter. rw
