Lord Chronicle

Chapter 172
"You, you mean here?"

Thor stared dumbfounded at the river in front of him.

Under the leadership of Amada, the group changed direction and headed south, and then arrived at the place she said in the middle of the night.

This is a narrow river, winding and flowing to the distance. Under the bright moonlight, the clear river water shimmers slightly, making pleasant rushing sounds.

Amada said: "It's here, along this river, you can reach the isolation zone in three days. And the area it flows through is relatively remote, so you shouldn't encounter werewolves."

Sure enough, it is better to have a guide who is familiar with the road. Without the guidance of Amada, Sol and the others would never have found such a shortcut.

Chip frowned and said, "Without a boat, we can't go at all."

Kress looked around: "There are no woods nearby, and there is no way to build a raft."

Amada said confidently: "Don't worry, I have been here before. There is a small tribe of kobolds nearby. They will look for food in the river, so there are boats, just steal a few."

If, as Amada said, they found a tribe of kobolds nearby.Chip tried a little trick, and easily stole two boats, and took a lot of dried meat and other dry food along the way.

The kobold's wooden boat is very simple, but it is no problem to carry people.Taking advantage of the darkness, the five of them quietly boarded the boat and went down the river. Finally, they no longer had to escape with their feet.

Three days later, they crossed the northern wilderness without any danger and came to the isolation zone between the Orc Empire and the Kaviland.

Looking at the familiar endless grassland in front of him, Sol swept away the depression of the past few days, stood on the bow and looked up to the sky and shouted: "Dinar, I, Sol, finally came back!"

Thinking of starting from Lowell, the original intention was to return the key to Breville, and take the treasure of Kajirido back by the way.Unexpectedly, by mistake, it turned into helping the barbarians to deal with the orcs, and finally ended up fleeing thousands of miles.

Now that he was finally able to return to his own country, Sol felt mixed feelings for a moment.

Kress, who was punting, anchored the boat to a small creek, and then went ashore.After patrolling the neighborhood for a while, he waved to Saul that he was safe.

Afterwards, a group of people went ashore one after another, and Amada said to Thor: "We have already reached the isolation zone, shouldn't it be time for you to fulfill your promise?"

Sol nodded: "No problem, but won't it be too dangerous for you to go back alone?"

Amada was slightly taken aback, then smiled narrowly: "Are you worried about me?"

Damn... Sol really wanted to slap himself. After living in peace for a few days, he almost forgot about the danger of Amada.

Amada said: "Don't worry, we have some troops stationed near the isolation zone. I will go to them after we break up, and they will send me back."

Vihir said abruptly: "After you find them, you should bring them to hunt us down, right?"

Saul couldn't help being startled, Vihir's worry was not unreasonable, with Amada's character, this was definitely possible.

Seeing his scruples, Amada said helplessly: "Okay then, I'll go to Broken Sword Gorge Fortress with you, and then you can let me go."

At this time, Sol didn't even make false excuses, and nodded directly: "That's fine."

There is no way, Amada has a lot of criminal records, and she cannot be taken lightly.Besides, Sol must also be responsible for the lives of his subordinates, so he must not show a man's mind in this kind of matter.

"Let's go, it will take several days to cross the grassland." Seeing what he said, Amada went ahead.

Chip immediately followed her closely, the more he had to be careful about what tricks she played at this time when it was easy to let people relax.

A group of people headed south from the separation zone, towards the direction of Kaweiling.After three days of rest on the boat, Sol's leg injury has healed a lot, and thinking that he will be back in Dinard soon, his footsteps become more brisk, and he almost jumps up and down.

It can be said that they are basically out of danger. After walking for two hours, everyone involuntarily lowered their vigilance.Except for Chip who was still closely monitoring Amada, even Kress became casual.

At this time they were passing through a sparse forest, and Thor suddenly saw a bush not far away with bright red berries.These days, he ate all the dried meat on the boat, and he was about to throw up. When he saw fresh fruit, he couldn't bear it, so he immediately ran over.

"My lord, where are you going?" Kress asked quickly, but he didn't stop Saul, obviously he didn't think there would be any danger here.

Sol waved his hand without looking back: "I'm going to pick some fruit, and I'll be right back."

After running to the bush in a few steps, before Sol stretched out his hand, Qi Putu, who was following Amada, had a look of shock on his face: "My lord, get out of there!"

"Huh?" Saul turned his head inexplicably.

At the same time, something stood up from behind the bushes.

Thor was taken aback, and stepped back quickly, only then did he see clearly that a tall and thin catman appeared.

Unexpectedly, they would run into orc scouts here, and everyone was taken aback. Kress immediately drew his sword and put on a vigilant posture.

The cat man also looked shocked, apparently also did not expect to run into people.He shrank back slightly, watching several people nervously, but did not attack Sol who was close at hand.

"My lord, come back quickly." Chip snorted.

Only then did Sol come to his senses, and stepped back cautiously.

However, after taking another look at them, the cat man stepped back suddenly, followed by three jumps and two jumps, and jumped into the grass nimbly.

"What's going on, why are there orcs here?" The cat man retreated, and Thor ran back quickly.

Amada looked blank: "I don't know either, could it be the patrol team of the Border Army?"

Kress couldn't help but said, "Did you mess it up again?"

Amada said calmly: "I can swear that I never lied to you this time."

Vihir refused to believe her, she put the spear on Amada's neck at once: "It's such a time, who will believe you!"

Amada was not afraid. She sneered and said, "You want to kill me? I knew that you didn't intend to keep your promise from the beginning."

"You..." Vihir was furious: "Don't think we are as despicable as you."

Ignoring her, Amada turned to look at Sol: "Sol, do you think I did it too?"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Saul had no choice but to pull the angry Vihir away.

Speaking of bickering, how could a simple barbarian girl be the opponent of Amada.

Instinctively, he thought that Amada wasn't lying, but the appearance of this cat person was too coincidental, right?

When Sol was in trouble, Chip said in a deep voice, "It's not too late to investigate after it's safe."

This was the only way to go, so the group quickened their pace and continued to move forward.Only this time, the optimistic mood disappeared with the appearance of the cat man.

After walking for a while, the woods were far behind, but there was no sign of orcs appearing. Sol finally felt a little relieved, maybe he really just ran into a patrol just now.

It's a pity that every time he thought nothing was wrong, something new would appear.

Suddenly, there was a strange rustling sound in the air, but nothing unusual nearby could be seen.Strangely, Sol and his party involuntarily stopped and listened in the direction of the sound.

At this moment, a large group of flying birds suddenly startled in the distance, and at the same time, Kress changed his face and said: "No, run away!"

Asuka started up to indicate that someone was approaching, and the rustling sound was naturally the sound of feet parting the dense weeds when running fast.

Before Kress finished speaking, a large group of orcs suddenly rushed out from the left side of the forest they had just passed through, and rushed towards this side.

Everyone was horrified, and Vihir was shocked and angry: "I knew this was a trap set by you!"

Amada said angrily: "How many times do I have to say it before you understand? I haven't done anything."

The quarrel between the two women, the chirping of the birds hovering in the sky, and the roar of the orcs rang together, and the scene couldn't be more chaotic for a while.

"Run, if there is still life left, you two can argue slowly!" As soon as he took Vihir's hand, Sol ran away.

"My lord, what should she do?" Kress pointed at Amada.

"Stupid, don't forget that she is a hostage."

"Oh." With a promise, Kress picked up Amada in his arms and turned around to run away.

However, in such a short distance, they couldn't run past the powerful orcs. Soon, the orcs were getting closer, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before they were caught up.

Damn, I'm going back to Dinar soon, I don't want to die here... Panting for breath, the violent running made Sol's lungs burn like fire, and despair gradually grew in his heart.

"Don't worry about this woman, take the lord right away!" Leaving a word beside Kress, Chip turned around resolutely, assuming a desperate posture.

Kress also dropped Amada, drew his sword loudly, and prepared to fight with his back.

Just at the moment when the situation was about to explode, there was a whistling sound above several people's heads, followed by a large number of arrows falling from the sky, crashing into the crowd of beasts.

Sudden attack, the orcs immediately fell down, and the rest quickly stopped, retreating to a safe distance in panic.

what happened?When he thought he was going to die, he was saved suddenly, and Sol didn't know why for a while.

At this moment, a familiar voice that I haven't heard for a long time suddenly sounded from the side: "You boy really didn't embarrass us the four masters of Almk. You even dared to kidnap the princess of the orc."

"Da, Darth!?"

Sol was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head in disbelief.

On a low slope on their left side, rows of Dinar cavalry stood at some point, and there were many archers among them, with bright arrows pointing directly at the orcs.

And Das, one of Almuk's four lowliests, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was riding on the front horse, looking at the shocked Thor with a smile on his face.

"Why are you here?" Sol was completely confused.

Das clicked his tongue: "I haven't asked you yet, why don't you stay in Lovell well, what are you doing here? When I saw it from a distance, I thought I saw a ghost."

"Hey, it's hard to say." Sol sighed, and suddenly, he suddenly came to his senses: "Damn, since you saw it a long time ago, why didn't you hurry up and save me?"

Das shrugged helplessly: "Heroes, you always come out at the end."

Suddenly remembered, isn't this what I said when I attacked the orcs on the frozen plateau?Sol was speechless for a moment, what is this, retribution?

At this time, as if he just felt exhausted, Sol's legs softened and he sat directly on the ground.

"Lead me a horse quickly."

************************************************** ***********
"I knew that you and Amada had no more love, now you have nothing to say?"

After welcoming Sol and his party into the team, Das took him aside and asked gossipingly.

Sol said helplessly: "I'm a fart, I told you about the king's capital earlier, it was a misunderstanding."

How could Dass believe him: "Then why did you travel all the way to the Beastman Empire to abduct her?"

Sol yelled: "Don't use such misleading words. Alas, this is a long story. By the way, what are you doing in the Broken Sword Gorge Fortress and running across the quarantine zone?"

Just as Das was about to speak, there was a sudden commotion in the orc team in the distance.

Soon, an officer of the Bimon tribe came out more and more: "Human beings, you have crossed the isolation zone on the border and returned to your land immediately."

Das snorted: "Then what is it that you attacked Broken Sword Gorge Fortress not long ago?"

Officer Bimon said: "We have already withdrawn, do you want to provoke a dispute again?"

Das didn't pay attention to his threat at all.He smiled viciously: "If you are not convinced, how about fighting here? Then I will withdraw, and everyone will be evened."

In the past, it would be unimaginable for humans to talk to orcs like this.However, this time, Officer Beamon's anger was only fleeting, and he forcibly endured it.

Obviously, the civil strife in the orc empire at the moment has made them dare not provoke the human enemy anymore.

Facing Das's provocative gaze, the Beamon officer said slowly: "Then I have another request. The person you caught is Amada, the princess of our Beamon tribe. I hope you can let her go. "

Darth glanced at Sol, who didn't speak.

So he said loudly: "I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. But my friend was hunted down by you just now, how should this account be settled?"

This time, the Beamon officer did not show any weakness.He said in a deep voice: "So, you don't intend to let him go?"

Das is not afraid of these orcs who are strong outsiders, but he waved his hand: "So what if you don't let go?"

The Dinar cavalry behind him immediately put their lances on the side of their horses and assumed a charging posture, and the archers also pointed their arrows in the air.

Amada was captured, how could the orc on the opposite side give up?They also took up their weapons without hesitation, and approached here with low growls.

Seeing that the battle was about to break out, at this moment, there was a clear shout: "Stop!"

For a moment, all eyes were on the speaker, and it was Amada.

She walked to the front with a calm face, and said to the Beamon officer: "You are too rude, I am just invited by a friend to come here as a guest."

"Your Highness, what are you?" Officer Beamon was taken aback when she didn't expect her to say that.

Amada waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to say any more: "Didn't you hear what I said? Hurry up and back down."

"But you..." Officer Beamon is certainly not a fool, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that her words are insincere.

"Don't make things difficult for me." Amada interrupted him: "I will be back tomorrow."

"Yes, this subordinate obeys." Under her insistence, Officer Beamon had no choice but to compromise.

Afterwards, he gave Das a gloomy look: "But if you have any accidents, the subordinates will never let these humans go."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the orcs slowly backed away.

They didn't leave too far, and stopped after retreating to the woods. The meaning was very obvious. Once they couldn't see Amada's people tomorrow, they would fight desperately with humans.

"Are you a guest? Miss Amada can really talk." Das looked at the orc in the distance and said
Amada smiled slightly: "Isn't it? Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other since the Royal Capital Celebration. People still miss you."

"Really, what if I want to keep you for a few more days?" Das said deliberately.

Amada sighed innocently: "Then I can only live up to Prince Darth's kindness. But..."

She glanced at Sol who was on the side: "Sol promised to send me back, he is so pitiful, you won't lie to me, will you?"

Sol couldn't laugh or cry: "You really think highly of my character."

"You have always been the most trustworthy person in people's hearts." Amada smiled as her plump breasts rubbed against Saul's body.

"Don't you even prepare some hot water? The house is almost dirty, isn't this the way you treat guests in Dinar?"

Amidst the voice, Amada walked to the back of the team.For some reason, the soldiers present couldn't help but make way for her.

He stood up without hesitation at the critical moment and prevented the orcs from fighting at a disadvantage.I have to say that this woman is really not simple, even at this time she can not fall behind.

Looking at Amada and Saul again, Das spread his hands: "Well, I want to know more and more what's going on between you two."

Saul yawned loudly: "Prepare me some hot water too, let's talk about this slowly."

"You..." Das was speechless to this guy.

He jumped off the horse, and when he walked past Saul, he put his arm on Vihir's shoulder: "Speaking of which, haven't you asked the lady's name yet?"

"I, my name is Vihir, from the Cedar Tribe of the Frozen Plateau..." The simple Vihir had never seen such a familiar rogue, and his face flushed instantly.

Darth's arms tightened, and he dragged away the ignorant Vihir without composure, and at the same time launched a rhetorical offensive.

"My name is Darth, and I'm Sol's best friend. Speaking of which, don't you think I'm much more handsome than this guy..."

Saul could only helplessly smile when he saw the help-seeking eyes that Verhir couldn't help turning his head towards him.

Alas, it seems that Lao Tzu's image will also be damaged accordingly.

However, I can finally go home safely...
