Chapter 86 (1/2)

Sir Aaron did not doubt whether what Lauren said was true or not. In addition to the little trust relationship just established, it is more important not to put the count in such a dangerous place.

Whether there are more than a dozen ogres in the forest or not, they can't continue to stay - there is only one day left from here to shenlinbao.

As it was getting late, the assembled Knights mounted their horses, held torches to protect the young count in the center and set off in the direction of Shenlin castle.

Because they were on their way all night, all the knights were silent and carefully vigilant around. Collapsed roads and groups of wild animals may kill everyone.

Lu Wen, who was riding a war horse, also kept silent with his head down. Only his frown and blackened seal hall could let the people who saw him understand how angry the count was now.

Lauren, who followed him, showed a thoughtful expression. He vaguely remembered that the ogres lived in the forest closer to the west, and there should be no settlement of these monsters in the territory of the Duke of lottel.

So how did these ogres get here?

There should be only two possibilities to explain - perhaps only a small group of Ogres crossed the mountains and forests in the West and broke into the Duke's territory, so they were not found.

On the other hand, something happened to the count of shenlinbao at the border, so that these ogres could break through the direction of the border and enter the hinterland of the Duke at will.

Whatever the reason, the Seine family responsible for defending the Duke's border is to blame. If only a few farms or hunters were killed, it might not be a big deal; But it was the heir of the Fred family who almost had an accident this time!

Just when they left not far away, everyone heard the continuous and deafening roar behind them. The roar became very clear against the silent night.

The originally cautious Knights immediately became nervous, and even several people couldn't help but want to see clearly, but they didn't have the courage to look back, and clung to the saddle like they were frozen.

”Cheer me up and keep going!”

Sir Aaron's roar directly overshadowed the sound from a distance: ”keep your eyes on the front and don't look back. Those monsters can't keep up with us!”

In a few words, the knights who had just been a little flustered recovered their senses, held up their torches and left the ogre's roar behind.

At dawn, before the sky was clear, the party arrived at a tower on the border of shenlinbao.

Stationed here is a branch of the Seine family. It opened the door after it saw who it was. The owner of the tower is also the owner of the nearby manor. An old gentleman who claimed to be a baron hurriedly gave his room to Lu Wen, and was very enthusiastic to prepare hot food and drinks for everyone.

The knights who had been driving all night were really tired. After discussion, they decided to wait until noon. Sitting around in the tower living room, enjoying rare hot soup and bread, calm yourself with mellow ale.

The young count had no appetite. He ate a few pieces of bread and went back to the room. When he left, he called Loren by the way. Without hesitation, the thoughtful black haired wizard left after leaving the Baron's master.

In the narrow little bedroom, there was only a dim yellow candle. Lu Wen looked decadent under the candlelight, and his spirit seemed to be depressed after driving all night.

”Your Excellency?”

Looking up and seeing Lauren coming in, Lu Wen moved a chair and sighed, ”there are not so many rules. Sit down and have a drink with me.”

The dark haired wizard who sat down took the cup from him and drank it up. The young count smiled and drank up the wine in one breath.

”You look a little uncomfortable. Is it because you're too tired?” Lauren asked casually while helping the other party pour the wine. ”Or... What's on your mind?”
