Chapter 54 Leaving
the empty room, an arm hung down weakly and left Athir's shoulder.
A life was lost.
Feeling all this, Athir raised his head and looked at the corpse in front of him.
Count Polya's body had been deformed, now covered with black and red blisters, his entire body becoming bloated and ugly.
Dark red blood continued to seep out from the surface of the corpse, wetting the clothes on his body, making him look extremely terrifying.
Seeing this scene, Athir sighed and stood up silently.
He took a look at the room, and finally memorized the scene in his mind. Then he left without hesitation and walked towards the door outside.
When we walked through the gate, Elhua and others were already waiting there, and they were all silent at this time.
Athir glanced around.
Knight Flar stood there quietly, looking somewhat silent, his expression showing the rigidity and seriousness of the past, but also a hint of sadness. Elhua's eyes were red and swollen, obviously he had just cried.
They did not ask about Count Polya's situation, obviously having guessed the final outcome.
"Let's go!"
Looking at their appearance, Athir shook his head and spoke first: "The castle is no longer safe. Let's leave here immediately."
"Where are we going after leaving the castle?" Elhua suddenly interrupted, with some confusion in his eyes.
"Let's go to the Kingdom of Gunuo in the south. We also have people there who can guarantee our safety and livelihood."
Listening to Elhua's words, Flar on the side continued, it seems that he had already made plans for the next trip.
The group made a decision, and soon, they walked out of the mansion and left quickly.
At this time, not long after the rebellion broke out, Arcadilla and others suddenly raided the castle, but they only captured the outskirts of the castle and were still some distance away from occupying the castle.
While still having a certain degree of control over the troops in the castle, Fular, carrying out Count Polya's order, summoned some elite members of the Royal Guards, quickly packed up some supplies and left.
·········
"Let's go..."
At a distance from the castle, Elhua looked at the castle behind him reluctantly, and said helplessly after a long time.
Beside him, Athir was covered in blood and sitting on a black horse, emitting a strong smell of blood.
These are the traces left by the previous breakout in the castle.
The outskirts of the castle had already been surrounded. When leaving earlier, Athir rushed directly into the enemy's army, broke through the army attacking the city gate alone, and led Elhua and others to break through.
Behind Athir, Knight Fular was patrolling on horseback, leading his men to search the surroundings.
There were some soldiers marching slowly around. Although there were not many of them, only three or four hundred, they were all the most elite troops under Count Polya, and each of them was an absolutely elite soldier.
With these elite warriors, plus the assistance of the top knight Fular, and the large amount of wealth brought out from the castle, it is enough to guarantee Elhua's status and life.
If Athir can embark on the path of a wizard in the future, then with his care and support, and the integration of some of the power operated by the Fakus family in other kingdoms, the foundation of a large family will be established, and it will not necessarily decline.
"We are about to leave our original direct territory."
At the side, Fular rode his horse to Athir's side and said to him, "Although the front still belongs to the North, it is already the territory of other nobles. We may encounter some unexpected situations."
"Since Arcadilla and his men have chosen to attack us, there is no reason for them to let go of the territories of other nobles. They should all be caught up in war now."
He analyzed calmly.
On the side, Athir nodded in agreement.
In order to prevent accidents, after the team rested for a while, Fular took some cavalry out for patrol again and took the opportunity to investigate the surrounding terrain.
The next day, accidents started happening.
In the territory of a small noble family, they found a team of other nobles. After seeing Elhua and his group, they were very excited and asked to join them.
After some questioning, Atier and others understood the reason.
It turned out that a few days ago, the entire North was attacked by the army. As if they had agreed on something, the major kingdoms in the north sent out their troops to attack the territories of various lords.
During this period, the North was in a weak period. The armies of the various lords had just been drawn out to participate in the orc war, and their strength had not yet recovered when they were attacked.
"The traitor Alcadela is fighting the orcs on the surface, but in fact he is deliberately sending our army to die, just for the current situation!!!" An unknown noble brought new news and cursed angrily in front of Athir and others.
In the previous orc battle, Alcadela deliberately harmed the noble coalition in the north. A large number of noble troops were sent to die, including the nobles who led the troops. Only a very small number of people survived.
In fact, when Athir recalled that battle now, he did feel something was wrong.
As a member of the Fakus family with wizard qualifications, according to common sense, he should be well protected even if he was sent to the battlefield. Why would he be deliberately sent to the front line to participate in the most intense fighting?
Of course, there is no point in worrying about this now.
There were a large number of nobles who had lost their territories and were preparing to evacuate. After seeing Elhua, they asked to join their team.
After looking at these people, Atier and Fular discussed for a while and decided to accept them.
Although these nobles in front of him were down and out, they were basically subjects of the Fakus family in the past. They were either members of the Fakus family or relatives by marriage, so their loyalty was guaranteed to a certain extent.
Moreover, although these people have lost their territories, they still have certain strength. If they are accepted, they can also expand their strength and enhance their own momentum.
The only hidden danger is that once more nobles are accepted, the team's composition will become more complicated and the pace of progress will slow down a lot.
Athir and Fular thought about these questions for a long time, and finally stopped hesitating.
Although accepting these nobles would cause some troubles, the strength of Athir and Fular was enough to suppress these internal problems.
Moreover, the North is in complete chaos now. Those forces that invaded the North are now busy seizing territory. Whether it is the forces of Arcadilla or other kingdoms, they probably don't have time to send people to hunt them down for the time being.
Even in Athir's opinion, those people probably wanted Elhua and others to leave, so the possibility of sending people to stop them was not high.
