Chapter Thirteen(3/4)

In addition to Kelle and Rebbo, the bodyguard leader was the first to recover.

"I must apologize to you. We did have the intention to lead the enemy to you just now. I apologize again for having such an attempt. Thank you very much for your help. Fortunately, you have not been hurt at all. I am very careful to compensate for my sincere apology." The young man said as he took out a cloth bag from his arms and placed it gently on the stump left by a collapsed tree on the side of the road.

The master spoke, and of course the bodyguards had to retreat.

Kyle stood there silently, and he waited for Mr. Hyde's orders.

Mr. Hyde stood there expressionless from beginning to end. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a long time, he pointed to the cloth bag and said, "Ted, go see what that is?"

Ted approached the stump carefully and picked up the cloth bag with his hands and feet. He knew very well that this was an extremely dangerous thing, and perhaps there was a fatal murderous intent hidden inside.

When I opened the cloth bag, Ted was shocked. It was a whole bag of gems, crystal clear and dazzling large gems, such a must have been worth a lot.

Ted was so surprised that he couldn't speak - "Is it a gem?" Hyde asked casually.

"How did you know?" Ted asked in confusion.

"That young man should be the prince of a certain country. This is their usual style. Prepare a bag of gems in advance so that he can redeem his life in times of crisis." Eckert said lightly.

"Do you want to kill them?" Kelle asked.

"No need, it seems that they have enough troubles. There are also people waiting to deal with them." Mr. Hyde shook his head and said, "And we have a lot of troubles. For us, there are few things that have no benefits."

"Will they?" Eckert asked.

"I think it's not. They should already know our strength, and there are terrible enemies waiting to ambush them in the dark. At this time, it's probably not a wise move to create a strong enemy."

Speaking of this, Mr. Hyde paused for a moment, and he thought for a while and continued, "But it is still necessary to be cautious. Kelle, you are responsible for the vigil. Ted has a good rest, and it is best for your injury to heal sooner."

"Head, what should I do?" Ted limped over and raised the cloth bag in Yang's hand.

"You choose two pieces, and leave the others to Eckert." Mr. Hyde ordered.

After saying this, Mr. Hyde led the way back.

Back at the parking place, the tent and carriage were all burnt down. Looking at the ruins, Mr. Hyde shook his head and sighed, "It seems that he can only rush tonight overnight. Ted, are there enough horses now?"

"There are six living horses, just one riding." Ted said as he led the six horses over.

"Everyone pack up as soon as possible and see what important luggage you have to carry. After half an hour, we have to rush to the road overnight. Ted, when will we reach Fort Serth?" asked Mr. Hyde.

"If you're quicker, you'll be able to arrive tomorrow afternoon." Ted said surely.

"I understand, Kelle, go search around and see which living guys are there, and kill them all without any politeness, but be careful of the fog under Ribo." Mr. Hyde seemed to suddenly think of something and added: "Look for it again. If there are more valuable people in it, you can organize such a group of desperate guys. The leader is definitely not an ordinary person. Unfortunately, I have no clue about this. Maybe those corpses will give us the answer. If I cut my head back, I will be useful."

Hearing his head's instructions, Kyle immediately began to act.

"What you mean is to take the opportunity to make a big fuss about this matter and count this matter that was originally aimed at those people on us?" Eckert approached and asked.

"You always need to use it properly when you have the opportunity. These dozens of corpses undoubtedly increase the authenticity of Ribo's identity." Mr. Hyde said.

"Will it lead to ghosts?" Eckert was still scared of the life-and-death struggle just now.

"If this storm really comes to us, it is impossible to hide. Since it is impossible to escape, it is better to lead the monsters and monsters to our territory. Hess, you set off immediately and let Peem arrive at Fort Serth as soon as possible. I have something to find him." Mr. Hyde ordered firmly.

All arranged everything and everyone went back to pack their luggage with ease.

However, after being burned by this fire, nothing can be preserved.

For Eckert and Rebbo, they had little to lose.

However, Mr. Hyde felt quite regretful. The two big suitcases that had followed him for forty years and had been to countless countries had turned into a pile of ashes.

One or two items that were not burnt out from the ashes were used as memorial crystals, and Mr. Hyde had finished packing his luggage.

Everyone held the horses in their hands, and they waited for Kelle to return.

More than a moment later, Kelle's figure appeared in front of people, and there was still a bag in Kelle's hand.

"It's Lidoke, Xibai's 'rebreed wind, Lidoke. He is very famous in the mercenary world. It is rumored that he has washed his hands and stopped washing his hands. However, it seems that someone has spent a huge price to hire him to secretly train these guys."

Keller said.

Mr. Hyde also heard about Li Duoke of the "Rebroken Wind". After all, there are not many people who are famous for using bows and arrows, and Li Duoke is one of the best dumplings.

Mr. Hyde himself is good at bows and arrows, but his bows and arrows are known for their accuracy, and the reason why the strength of Duoke is called "Resurrection Wind" is because this man's archery speed is extremely fast, and his legend of the continuous bead arrow technique can even cut off the wind.

It is precisely because of this skill that Li Duoke is very respected in Xibai.

"How did he die?" Mr. Hyde was somewhat sad. Although he was an enemy, Lidoke was a famous figure with his bow and arrow skills. It certainly made him feel a little sad when he died so unclearly.

"I was hit hard behind it." Kelle said lightly.

"Hi, the things that archers fear the most come from behind. Who killed him? Could it be the killer who is as superb as you?" asked Hyde.

"No, he must be a novice, and there are many traces left on the ground. As a killer, that person is not qualified. However, he is obviously quite clear about the position where Li Duoke hides, and he is heading straight for Li Duoke."

Keller told Mr. Hyde all his discoveries.

Mr. Hyde pondered for a while, he didn't know what this meant, but now is not a time to worry about such a thing. He ordered everyone to get on.

Everyone except Hess headed towards Serthburg.

When they passed the mysterious prince who was out in a silly costume, it had also turned into a pile of ruins.

All the horses pulling the cart were gone, and it seemed that their choice was exactly the same as theirs.

The tranquility of the night was completely shattered by the noisy sound of horse hooves.

Running all the way, when dawn comes, most people are a little tired.

After all, time is unforgiving, and the fierce battle and the long night of running horses on the saddle horse made the old man feel a little overwhelmed.

As for Eckert, as a liar, he is undoubtedly quite good, but he is not even useful when he really fights life and death.

It is also his specialty to ride a horse, but that does not include riding a horse in the dark to rush to the night. His eyes, which have not been specially trained, are the only one of these people who cannot find the right path in the dark night. If Ted had not supported him by his side, Eckert would have fallen off his horse.

The most tired of everyone is Ted. After shed so much blood, Ted was already exhausted and had to pull Eckert along the way. All this was enough for him to worry.

In fact, everyone except Ribo and Kelle were exhausted. When the day started to turn white and could see the trees in the distance, Mr. Hyde ordered to stop and rest for a while.

Pour some water out of the water bag to clean the dust on his face. Rebow, Eckert and Mr. Hyde returned to the noble and elegant image of a nobleman, but their dusty clothes seemed a little bit depressed.

Ted came to prepare breakfast aside, which was his job.

Besides, except for him and Mr. Hyde, the cooking skills of others are really hard to compliment. We can't let Mr. Hyde do it yourself. After breakfast and resting for a while, everyone set off again. The next journey is still long.

"Head, change the horse. You ride that thoroughbred horse and the horse walks smoothly." Ted said.

Mr. Hyde thought for a while and finally shook his head and said, "No need, you can reach Serthburg in the afternoon. When you get there, Rebow is the protagonist. Don't forget that this time you can only succeed but not fail."

"Mr. Hyde, this will not have any impact. I think it's better to change the horse as Ted said."

Ruibo said.

"No, Ribo, obedient. Although you are very smart, your experience is far less abundant than I and Eckert. You cannot imagine that it will cause a complete failure due to a small place. Any mistake can be fatal. Ribo, I want you to remember one thing firmly. You must do everything in the same way as the real Ribo, Byrndit, and there is no deviation at all. Okay, let's get on the horse." Mr. Hyde ordered.

The sound of horse hooves sounded again on Tongjun Avenue in the Bart Forest, and a bird was shocked on both sides of the road.

The speed of riding horses during the day was obviously much faster than that at night. Kelle led the way in front, and Ruibo was in charge of the rear. Now the two of them were the most combative among the group.

Mr. Hyde lowered his body as much as possible, almost crawling on the saddle. For an old man like him, the oncoming wind made him breathless. His heart was pounding quickly as if he was about to break free from the constraints of his chest and jumped out. His legs tightly clamped the saddle seemed to be completely numb and had no sense at all, and the muscles on his waist seemed to gradually become stiff.

All of this made the old man feel helpless.

I am indeed old.

I remember when I was young, I rode around all day long, but I never felt so powerless.

Countless long journeys, countless bumpy and difficult journeys, and countless escapes from death are already a memory of the distant past for me.

Time is unforgiving, and I am already a stubborn old man, an old man who can no longer stand the bumps of the road.

It's time to retire.

Along the way, the old man endured the pain caused by the bumps of the journey to his old body.

Maybe this will be his last long trip, and maybe this will be his last adventure.

The journey to Serthburg is not long, but, in the eyes of a group of exhausted people, the road is too long, as if it is too long.

Although people feel this way, the road does not become longer because of the feeling.

As the sun gradually sets to the west, the gate of Serth Castle finally appeared in front of everyone.

Rebow has never been to Serthborough.

Serthburg is the capital of Franx to the south and one of the several major cities in the entire Franx Kingdom.

For this capital city, Ruibo was full of curiosity and yearning for a long time.

From a distance, Fort Serth is like a fortress, an extremely strong fortress.

A two-meter-wide arrow basin is built on the towering city wall every few steps, which is somewhat different from the fortress introduced in the book. There are no shooting holes on the exterior wall of Serth Fort, and the entire city wall is made of huge blue stones.

In order to make up for the lack of defensive firepower, five huge three-story towers were built on each wall, with arrow holes on it.

Ruibo followed Mr. Hyde and the others and rode his horse toward the city gate. The huge city gate was more than three meters high, and the two door panels seemed to be made of iron. However, according to the book, it was just a thick layer of iron sheet, with wood inside.

What really plays a defensive role is the fence on the top of the city gate, which is completely cast of pig iron. It seems that the thing weighs at least two tons. No wonder such a large winch was placed on the city tower. At the gate, there was a team of guards standing. The iron helmets on their heads were the only armor they could really save their lives. The thick cotton robe probably had a greater decorative effect than the defense.

These guards were embroidered with the badge of Serth Fort on their chests, and Ruibo was very familiar with this pattern because it was also the clan emblem of the Medin family.

A shield is painted with two animals, wolves and elks, that are never peaceful in nature.
