Chapter 438： Tucao of a salt vendor

And when Narant and the others ran away, Bucher, Udi and the others finally caught up to the river where the army was garrisoned.

"So, there's no one on those horses?" Udi looked gloomy.

"Yes, Lord Commander, we didn't know it when we first pursued it, because the grass in the wilderness was too high at that time, blocking our sight!"

"We didn't find out the situation until we chased after more than ten miles and left the wasteland!"

"But at that time my warhorse didn't obey orders, and our guards had been left behind, and we couldn't get our orders!"

"In the end, we were brought to the river by those war horses, and we could only watch the dozens of war horses jump into the river!"

"Bastard!" Udi didn't want to get to the bottom of why Narant wasn't there, but the warhorse was still mad.

Instead, they gritted their teeth and hated that they were once again calculated by Narant, which made these dignified leaders lose face.

"Is it really heading south? Isn't that self-defeating?" Butcher was still calm at this time, frowning and making his debut.

"Could he still come to the west, just trick our guards and hide in the woods somewhere behind?" Udi could only choose to calm down after hearing this.

"It's possible, but we must also go to check the road in the south!" Batcher nodded.

"It's better than this. The two of us took the cavalry to the south to check first, and let the subordinates carefully search back along the way!"

"it is good!"

Batcher and Udy make an immediate decision.

Act now.

It took four or five hours, and the two finally took their troops to the road in the south, and soon came to the first noble territory.

"During this period of time, the rear cavalry did not appear frequently. If Narant and the others passed by here, someone would definitely have seen it. After we enter the town, we will ask about it first, and then check the situation!"

The two came to the town entrance of the territory and discussed it.

"Okay!" Immediately, the two entered the town with their subordinates.

But when their group stepped into the town, the civilians on the streets of the town were startled, and the civilians who were still walking got into the roadside alleys one after another.

Only the hawkers who opened their shops had no way to escape and could only hide behind the goods as ostriches.

Batcher and Udi didn't think much about it, thinking that these civilians were afraid when they saw a large number of themselves and others.

And this is also the norm for commoners and serfs to see nobles, it would be strange if they were not afraid.

The two immediately gave orders to several subordinates, and the subordinates who received the orders immediately walked to the shops on both sides, preparing to inquire about Narant's trail.

"Hey, come here!" One of the royal knights walked to a shop.

Coincidentally, this was the salt shop Narant had previously chosen.

"Kid... Knight, you... what are your orders!" The salt peddler froze, secretly saying that his life was bitter, but his face was still flattering, trembling and respectful.

"Have you seen a cavalry passing through the town today, about twenty people?"

"Ask again? Are you inhuman, vicious dogs that are full of food?" The peddler cursed fiercely in his heart, then shook his head and said, "Master Knight, apart from you, no other cavalry has passed by here today! "

"Are you sure you really didn't see it?"

"Master Knight, the villain is sure that no other cavalry has passed by here today!" After speaking, the peddler shrank his neck.

Fortunately, the whip he expected didn't swing, which made him feel a little relieved.

And the royal knight didn't ask any useful information, he frowned and ignored the peddler, turned his horse's head and left with arrogance.

"What kind of shit!" The hawker lowered his head and spat again.

...

"My lord, they said that no cavalry passed through here today!"

"My lord, what we asked is also, they didn't find other cavalry passing by!"

After a while, several cavalrymen who had been dispersed came back to report.

"Are they still in the back, or have they passed around the town?" Batcher and Udi were really puzzled now.

As long as the team of more than 20 people passed by this town, it was impossible for everyone to see them. After all, horses and cavalry were rare.

"Udi, otherwise, I will continue to chase a distance to the south with the Royal Knights. You go back and search the rear carefully, maybe that Narant is really hiding behind, and wants to wait for us to relax our defenses, and then he will send out to escape. !" Batcher pondered for a moment and thought of the biggest possibility.

Now, they have completely lost the whereabouts of Narant and others, and they can only make separate actions.

Of course, from the previous inquiry, they subconsciously felt that Narant was unlikely to go south.

"it is good!"

Immediately, Udi and Bucher began to act on the colorful two roads.

...

For the next two days, thanks to the eyedrops on, the whereabouts of Narant and the others have not been exposed.

After running wildly for two days along the way, Narant and others got closer and closer to Oak City.

However, at this time, Narant became more vigilant.

Because as it approached Oak City, the surrounding population began to increase, whether it was ordinary civilians or the army of the Northern Principality.

Fortunately, because they have tiger skins, these ordinary guards of the northern principality dare not provoke them.

Seeing their high-headed horses arrogantly, they will let them go to the side of the road from a distance, nodding and bowing to let them go.

"Sir, this royal knight's clothes are really useful!" Quick saw that there was nothing wrong all the way, and the chasing soldiers behind him disappeared, and the original worries gradually dissipated.

"Don't be too happy! It's not close to the army of the Northern Principality yet, this status is still useful, but when we get close to the army of the Northern Principality we have to be careful, if there is any flaw, then It will be besieged by hundreds of thousands of troops!"

"Yes, my lord!" Quick and others felt a lingering in their hearts, and immediately responded.

"Well, let's go! Just act naturally!" Seeing a few people getting nervous again, Narant smiled and reassured.

Immediately, they spent another day and finally got close to the outside of Oak City.

And when they arrived near the Oak City, all the guards and cavalry of the Northern Principality appeared around.

There are also teams of convoys that transport food and grass to the front.

Although Narant really wanted to inquire about the current situation of the Onyx Principality army, for the sake of safety, he held back and just walked behind the convoys, all the way to the south.

When these convoys saw them appear, not only did they dare not ask what their origins were, but they also brought roasted meat at lunch and dinner, and offered them hospitality.

Following the convoy for another two days, seeing that it was getting closer to the army in front, Narant also began to think about how to break through the enemy's defense line and escape.
