Chapter 48 Dangerous Bridge 1

Since Elvin has made up his mind, of course, no one else will object. Except for Agart, everyone will always follow Elvin.

At this time, Agat also expressed his intention to say goodbye: "Since you have made such a decision, I will not accompany you. I have done my best to help you get here. The rest of the road is what you have decided to go, so you can stick to it by yourself. All right. And I have separated. Next, it's up to me to lead these horses and continue to attract Ain and others. You have to walk there.

Indeed, whether the wooden bridge in front of it can safely withstand Elvin's weight is still a problem. The weight of horses is obviously more impossible, and in order to buy time, people also need to attract them. Once Ain detects that the horses have been reduced, the escape plan will come to nothing. Although it will be very inconvenient to act without Qingfeng in the future, in order to cope with the current crisis, that is, to get something, you must first pay the corresponding price.

Aiwen asked worriedly, "Uncle Agat, doesn't it matter if you are left alone?"

Agathe laughed and said, "I will have a better life if I can get rid of your burdens. Don't think so much. If it's just me, it's definitely no problem to escape by relying on your good horses. I still have a lot of experience in receiving horses, and those two ordinary horses let them halfway. Just go to the other side and leave, which can also disperse the other party's team.

Agat is experienced, brave, and also Ain's uncle. I believe he will be fine.

Elvin no longer worried, but wanted to entrust it to his uncle: "Since you said that, Qingfeng will ask you. Please take good care of them, okay?"

Agat replied in a good voice: "Okay, I'll just promise. Although it's troublesome, it's much better to take care of Ma than to take care of you troublemakers. Don't talk so much. We'll separate at the front.

Anyway, Agart used to be the deputy head of the Blue Dragon Knights. It's no problem to give him the horses. And Aiwen stroked Qingfeng's body and was very reluctant. And Qingfeng also felt the owner's emotions and chirped softly there.

Although parting is always sad, time is tight now. After Grimio and the others quickly packed up some dry food and simple daily utensils, Evan and the others immediately began to set off and walk to the wooden bridge.

Before leaving, Shuna came to Agart and asked him, "Uncle Agat, can I ask you to help me again? I have a friend named Amy in the slum and some other orphans. Can uncle help take care of them?

Agathe shouted, "What! You guys have already done such a big thing. You still want me to take care of a group of people. This is really killing me!"

Shuna was so scared that he didn't dare to ask for more Agat, so he lowered his head and walked aside.

Agat does look fierce, but he is not a really cruel person. Just now was just his habitual complaint. Seeing that Shuna believed so simply, he felt a headache, so his tone eased down slightly: "Well, this... this ...I really can't stand you. At worst, I'll just take a look when I'm bored."

Hearing Agat's words, Shuna smiled childishly and thanked him repeatedly.

"Okay, now is not a place to chat. You can leave the words of thanks for next time, but the next time you come to come to me, you can no longer be a wanted criminal. Today's matter makes me exhausted. Also, I have to bring more gifts and coins. Those drinks tonight made me bankrupt.

As soon as he saw the emptyness in his bag, Agat was entangled by the large amount of wine he had just spent. If he had known that it would have left a bottle just now, he could also quench his thirst when he seduced Ain's troops alone.

After saying goodbye to Uncle Agathe with a smile, Evan and the others began to move towards the wooden bridge. And Agathe also led the five war horses and ran in the other direction.

......

Among the pursuers behind Elvin and the others, the leader of the team is indeed Ain. Now he has followed the footprints of Elvin's horses all the way. Ain's determination to make Elvin surrender is very firm. In any case, he can't let Elvin make such a mistake. In this regard, the two brothers are the same, but once they decided to If you come, you won't change easily and go all out to achieve your goals.

In this group of troops, there was a group of discordant figures among them. It turned out that Carlos also followed, with a small group of reconvened cavalry. It seemed that he still refused to give up after repeated failures, and the painful lesson just now was not enough to chase together shamelessly.

Ain hates this kind of person the most. If possible, I really want to deal with him on the spot with military law. It is useless to scold and punish such a villain. Instead, it will attract more sinister revenge in the future. It is the best but also helpless way to stay away from it. Therefore, Ain ignored him all the way and did not look at him head-on, speed up and leave him behind.

Of course, Carlos, who is cold-eyed, will not be ashamed of this. Now there is only anger in his mind. Under the involvement of anger, the pain on his body is even more painful, but the pain on his body is far less than the pain in his heart, because he has lost the most important thing for him.

"This epee, given to me by Lord Bekas, is the greatest honor in my life and can never be lost! I won't let you go of that hateful masked man."

Carlos is very nervous about the epee taken away by Agathe, which is simply to be persistent. It can be seen that Carlos has feelings for this epee, that is, the Becas represented by this epee, beyond the relationship between superiors and subordinates. With this feeling, it is enough to make him Spell everything together.

It seems that Agat is really right to mask his face. Otherwise, a little man like Carlos will not only give him a headache, but also has a good amulet with the joke of "cowardly drunk".

And for Ain, Carlos kept cursing in his heart: "I will definitely double the shame to your two brothers in the future. It's better let me catch you to let go of your brother's handle and let you two become my prisoners together. And the waste lord here is as poor as beggars. He is full of garbage and useless at all. What's more, he can't even raise a griffin and can't give air support, otherwise he will never let the targets escape in the slums.

Suddenly, Ain ordered to stop and then seriously looked at the land ahead.

At this time, Carlos rushed up and asked, "Why did you stop? If you don't catch up quickly, and if you go into the depths of the forest, you won't want to catch up again."

Ain ignored him and was still slowly observing the ground.

Carlos was angry when he saw this: "Don't procrastinate here. If there is a situation, tell me. Don't forget that this is also my right as a helper."

In this pursuit, under the "proposal" of the commander of the Becas Legion, Carlos was responsible for following Ain, nominally assisting, but in fact, monitoring. This is also the tacit of Emperor Hiloken. Although the condition is that he cannot take his troops to act together, he can ask Ain to report all kinds of information. The two Same resolution.

Ain then said, "The target is believed to have escaped from other places on foot, and the target in front is just bait."

"Why do you have such a judgment?" Carlos and Ain still don't bite each other's words, and they are very doubtful about Ain's statement.

Ain made a clear decision and said his inference: "The hooves on the ground are obviously much shallower than before, indicating that the weight of the horses has decreased a lot, and the distribution is very messy. This is obviously because no one is planning to ride and run by themselves, so that it can be guessed that someone gave up the mount halfway and changed to walk instead. The letter must have fled in other directions. Judging from the number of these shallow hoofs, the majority of people left.

As the elite cavalry army of the kingdom, the Green Dragon Knights can be said to be invincible on horseback, so it is very necessary to know the horses, the most trusted comrades-in-arms on their battlefield. As the third figure among the commanders of the legion, Iin's research on war horses is naturally the best.

Carlos heard that there was nothing to refute, but he still refused to admit defeat: "Even if your analysis is correct, what if this is the other party's strategy, deliberately reveals this flaw, because the other party's horses can't let them all escape at the same time, in order to escape safely. , abandon those dragging their followers and let them be the real bait, and drive their horses to escape. The other party has several famous horses and can definitely run away by constantly changing horses. No fool will not protect himself like this.

"I'm sorry, my brother and I are such fools who won't give up our companions. If you continue to chase, I won't stop you." After saying that, Ain turned the horse's head and walked in the other direction.

Carlos cursed in a low voice: "The hateful family are really ignorant idiots."

Ain found the troops of the lords who came with Carlos and asked, "Which of you knows more about the nearby terrain? Do you know if there are any roads nearby where you can escape on foot?

One of them replied, "Reporter, the villain is born here. As far as I know, in addition to the road in the north, there are endless alpine forests in the west and the insurmountable Taros Valley in the south. There is no other place to pass, so it is so lonely here.

Ain thought to himself: (Since only the north can go, it should be to go to the outer region, but without the transportation of horses, it is impossible to get such a far place. If Evan did this, the destination must not be too far away.)

Just now, the soldier seemed to remember something and then reported, "But... I seem to have a little impression that there used to be a wooden bridge across the Tyros Valley nearby, but I don't know if it's still there."

Ain immediately asked, "Is this really the case? Hurry up and tell me the details.

The soldier tried to think about it, and finally replied in an uncertain tone: "Well... I really don't remember it clearly. It should be near here. Anyway, if you look along the southern river valley, you should be able to see it. But to be honest, sir, it is impossible for anyone to walk there so foolishly. After all, the wooden bridge has been abandoned for many years, not to mention that there is still a problem. Even if it still exists, it is a very dangerous bridge that may collapse at any time, falling from the top to the bottom of Tai. Ten lives in the Ross River are not enough. The people in our small town dared not pass from there several years ago, let alone now.

Ain continued to ask, "That means that no one dares to walk this wooden bridge, which means that you may still be able to get off the bridge? Are you sure this is the last road to the south?

The soldier smiled bitterly and said, "No, do you think the other party will be so stupid and take such a big risk to pass through this dangerous bridge? The wooden bridge is indeed the only way to cross the south, but... I seem to have heard that these wanted criminals who have offered heavy rewards in the kingdom seem to be... are the officers's own brothers, and they are not appreciate it when they defend them so much. If they are ordinary people, they must not be so stupid to risk this kind of death in order to avoid us. It's dangerous."

Ain made a decisive judgment: "Well, I know. Now I can be sure that the other party intends to escape from the wooden bridge to the south. The other party can cut the rope after crossing the wooden bridge to prevent our pursuit behind them. This is their plan."

The soldier was completely stunned and didn't know what to say.

Ain then added, "Yes, the other party is my own brother, and I also said that we are the same stupid people." After saying that, he ordered the soldier to lead the way ahead and command the troops to follow him.

Carlos also followed him. It seemed that he was not a really ignorant reckless man, and he also had his plan. In order to buy double insurance, he also ordered some of the cavalry of the lord who brought him to chase in the direction of the horseshoe at the same time.
