Medieval White Elf Story

Chapter 21 Countermeasures

If you want the La Verna people to go into the water, the guide's confession is the best weapon. Flynn quickly reported the matter to the Duchess.

Hearing that he was attacked by a group of human mercenaries, and that the messengers might come from people around Duke Zeon, a low exclamation immediately came from the carriage. Although Flynn couldn't see what was going on inside the car, he could guess it. How the Duchess turned pale after hearing such sensational news.

"We should return to the principality immediately, otherwise Madam will be in danger at any time." The leader of Werner's guards, who was also frightened, suggested nervously.

"Madam, you can rest assured. I think Duke Zeon will definitely not want such horrific things to continue to happen in his territory. As long as Madam rushes to Quen and publicly explains to Duke Zeon what happened to you tonight, I believe that Duke Zeon will Duke Weng will soon find out the truth of the matter and will do his best to ensure the personal safety of the lady." Fearing that the duchess would be frightened and decide to turn around and go back, Flynn quickly gave her reassurance. "And if the leader of this matter discovers that the ambush failed, in order to avoid the conspiracy being exposed, he will definitely send people to ambush you on your way back. Otherwise, once Duke Zeon discovers his conspiracy, his situation will be very bad. ."

After a period of silence in the carriage, the Duchess asked: "Are you really sure that this matter was not ordered by Duke Zeon?"

Although Flynn was not completely sure, he could only quickly vouch for Old Tibbs at this time: "As far as I know, the Duke is a highly respected nobleman, and he also cares about his reputation. He will definitely not hope that he will Something unexpected happened to the guest."

Even though Old Tibbs's reputation has long been tainted, he still needs to care about some basic rules among nobles. When doing things, he must not touch some bottom lines that cannot be crossed casually. Artus may not be aware of this. It was convoluted, but Flynn believed that Duchess Werner should be able to understand what he meant.

After another long silence, the Duchess finally chose to believe Flynn's words: "Then let's continue to Quen. I will confront the Duke face to face."

The head guard also had different opinions.

"But, madam, if you do this..."

The Duchess interrupted him: "Cantal, can you guarantee that if we go back now, we can return to the principality safely?"

Cantal was speechless in response to the Duchess's question. When they were fully manned, they were almost annihilated. They relied on the Bain family to lend a helping hand to escape the disaster. Now there are only a few soldiers left to fight back. There were injuries, and it was unrealistic to ensure that the duchess could be brought home safely.

Cantal's reaction strengthened the Duchess's determination, and her tone became stronger: "Then do as I say."

Now that the Duchess had made up her mind, Cantal had no choice but to obey by keeping her mouth shut, which also made Flynn relieved.The Duchess was able to make such a decisive decision, which is quite a bit of a strong woman and deserves the respect of others.Recall that when the old Duke died, the new Duke was only 11 years old and still a child. The principality itself was facing the increasing pressure of two powerful enemies, Cecilia and Zeon. It could be said that internal and external troubles were precarious. The duchess had to deal with the entire principality. She has been involved in all kinds of affairs, and she has experienced some big storms anyway. She cannot be generalized from the ordinary noble and delicate aristocratic ladies. If she were Flynn's cheap mother, she would probably only hug Flynn in the current situation. Wipe your tears.

Then the Duchess expressed her gratitude to Flynn for telling the truth, and told Cantal to discuss any issues with Flynn. This meant that she was entrusting her family's safety to Flynn. It seemed that Flynn The favorability in her heart has definitely reached a high level, otherwise she would not have such trust in him.

In fact, what Flynn didn't know was that the Duchess's trust in him was more than just a matter of trust. Seeing Flynn showing a shrewdness that was completely inconsistent with his age at a young age, Elon's Charloy felt emotional and Think of her nephew Amber, now Duke of Werner.Amber is now 17 years old and has been in charge of the affairs of the principality for more than two years. However, he still handles things in a rough and unruly manner. There have been undercurrents in the principality against this young new lord, which also makes Charloy worry. Heartbroken, I couldn't help but think how great it would be if Umber was as smart as this Bain kid.

Not sure if anyone else from the enemy would escape to report the news and trigger a second wave of attacks, Flynn had a brief discussion with Artus and Cantal, and decided to continue setting off overnight, trying to get to Quen before dawn and escape the danger. .

Originally, Cantal wanted to send people back to the place where the attack started to see if he could find some of his own guards who had survived or escaped. However, Flynn and Artus were unanimously opposed.They have been delayed in this place for too long. If they continue to stay, they will only give the enemy more time to prepare. They are afraid that the night will be long and Mengduo will leave as soon as possible. As for the guards, it will not be too late to send people back to search after they arrive at Kunen.

Although Cantal believed that retrieving the lost guards could replenish the strength of the team, Flynn had some objections that he did not explain to Cantal. In fact, he was not very optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the guards of the Principality of Werner and took the risk. It may not necessarily be beneficial to find someone for them.You must know that Kantar said that they originally had more than 100 troops. Although they were caught off guard by the attack, it is unreasonable to be beaten by a group of mercenaries and only a few frightened birds were left.If it wasn't that Werner's guards were too cowardly, or it was that these guys lacked training, they were all at a loss when the enemy attacked and were defeated.Due to the current temporary alliance between the two parties, Flynn certainly cannot tell the truth. After all, the other party also wants to save face.

However, it is understandable. After all, the Duke of Werner, as an ally of the king, firmly sent troops to support the Cecilia people several times. The nobles and warriors of the principality who could fight were also harvested in waves with the disastrous defeat of the kingdom's army. , the rest are all rookies with little fighting ability, and their current poor performance can be considered excusable.

In the small decision-making circle of three people, Flynn and Artus were two against one, and Cantal, who was alone, had to give up his plan to send people to find his companions.After making the decision, a group of people packed up and hurried on the road. Flynn also specially arranged to collect the enemy's horses and follow the team with the corpses of the mercenaries as evidence to be handed over to Duke Zeon.
