Lord of the North

The battle at Diai Castle ended in less than two hours, and thousands of soldiers quickly suppressed the resistance in the castle.

The soldiers who rioted before were all disarmed and detained outside the castle.

And the soldiers of the Iron Fang collar controlled all the exits of the castle in the shortest time, but the strange thing is that no one found the trace of Earl Diai.

"You mean that no trace of Earl Diai and his family were found in the castle?" Langnart asked in disbelief as he looked at the soldiers in front of him with an ugly expression.

"Yes, my lord, we have searched all the corners of the castle and found nothing."

The soldiers were a little disappointed and said that they led people to block the castle at the first time. During the search process, they found the treasure house of Earl Diai, but they did not find Earl Diai.

Langnart's face was gloomy, and the faces of Beowulf and Gareth beside him were also a little ugly. Now it will be troublesome. As long as Count Diall is not executed, he will still be a hidden scourge for Jason.

"Are all the servants in the castle here?"

Langnart pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked.

"They're all there, we've gathered them all in the open space in front of the castle." The soldier hurriedly replied, and then he said with some hesitation.

"But we have already interrogated. They don't know the whereabouts of Earl Diai at all, and they haven't seen Earl Diai when we attacked the city."

"That is to say, Earl Diai left his subjects and soldiers and fled when we attacked the city wall?"

Gareth was a little dumbfounded. Although this Earl Diai was a bit of a bastard, he didn't look like this kind of person, otherwise Knight Willis wouldn't be so loyal.

"It looks like this is the case."

Beowulf sighed, and it seemed that the count of Dier was not without reason.

"Go to Willis Knight and ask, won't everything be clear?" Lang Nat said, taking a look at the magnificently decorated hall.

Willis Knight was exhausted after receiving Gareth's attack. Although his injuries were serious, his life was not in danger.

It's just that his helmet stuck to his face due to the high temperature,

As a result he has been disfigured.

Not long after, the three of them came to the dungeon together. Looking at Knight Willis, who looked like a ghost with bandages all over his body, sitting alone in the corner, they knocked lightly on the cell door.

"What are you doing here, showing off your victories to the losers?"

Enduring the pain on his body, Knight Willis slowly got up and came in front of the three of them, looking at them calmly, especially Gareth who was standing on the left.

"You misunderstood, in fact, I still admire you." Gareth couldn't help sighing when he saw his appearance.

From the perspective of a leader, Willis Knight's approach is actually not wrong at all.

"Is it?"

Cavalier Willis laughed heartily, bleeding again from some of the bandages on his body.

"The purpose of our visit this time is to inquire about the whereabouts of Earl Diai."

Gareth took a step forward, looking him in the eye.

"Count Diall?"

Knight Willis was a little stunned when he heard this, and didn't understand why Gareth asked such a question. After all, the entire town of Diai had already fallen under their control.

"Is he not in the castle?"

When he said this, his voice trembled a little, and he already had a bad premonition in his heart.

"It seems that you don't know either."

Gareth sighed, turned around and was about to leave. He saw a sense of despair and resignation in Knight Willis' eyes, and he didn't lie.

"Wait a moment!"

Knight Willis stretched his hand out of the cell door, trying to catch Gareth, but he was too far away and he failed.

"Tell me... you're lying to me, aren't you?"

His current inner emotions are very complicated. He hopes that Earl Diai will leave Diai town safely, but he also does not want to hear that their lord has left thousands of soldiers loyal to him and fled alone.

"No, Earl Diai did abandon you and fled the castle alone with his family. The time was about shortly after our siege began."

Gareth turned around, said softly, then turned and left, ignoring Willis's desperate eyes.

"No...haha...hahaha..."

Willis Cavalier's eyes lost their luster, they were the eyes of collapsed faith, and finally he couldn't help the sadness in his heart and lay down on the ground and laughed miserably.

He kept laughing until his voice was hoarse, until he coughed up blood in his throat.

The sadness in the voice made the guards of the dungeon couldn't help but sigh.

"Immediately send all the cavalry scouts to search around the town of Diai. Only one night has passed, I hope there is still time."

After walking out of the dungeon, Gareth said in a deep voice, their mistake was really a bit big this time.

"I still need to inform the adults about the situation here." Lang Nat added from the side.

"Leave it to me, and I will be able to return to Iron Tooth Town within two days."

At this time, Beowulf suddenly said that with his physical fitness and strength, it is not a problem to drive for two days without sleep.

And there is no need to worry about the letter being intercepted on the road.

"But you need to prepare a few more horses for me."

…………………………………

Two days later at noon, Jason learned about the situation in Diai Town from the dusty Beowulf.

"Let's talk about it if you run away. Without military power, his threat is almost negligible." Hearing this, Jason lowered his head and thought for a while, then waved his hand and said.

"But I'm afraid that he will come back to seek revenge afterwards and instigate the leaders of Diai to riot."

Beowulf bowed his head and said that the common people are ignorant, and they are easily seduced by a caring person like Earl Diai.

"It's better to leave this matter to the black crow."

Hassan, who stood aside, said, "They are better at this kind of thing, and the chances of cooperating with those mercenaries traveling north and south are even higher."

"Alright, then I'll leave this matter to you." Jason nodded upon hearing this, and then looked at Beowulf in front of him again.

"You should take a good rest in the town during this period of time. Spring will begin soon, and our plan will soon enter the implementation stage. You will need to worry about it then."

He was referring to the plan to march into the ice field. A rear with countless unstable factors hidden made Jason feel very insecure.

"Your subordinates must live up to your trust!" Beowulf immediately half-kneeled on the ground, lowering his head and saying in a deep voice.

……………………………………………

Half a month later, in the royal city of the Lopez Kingdom, a group of hundreds of cavalry supported a heroic man, and on the other side was a gorgeously dressed boy and a dozen or so gorgeously equipped guards.

"Uncle, have you really decided?"

The boy was the prince of the kingdom, Phil Lopez, and he was looking at the heroic knight with a worried expression.

"Those cowards from the Federation of Sixteen Nations dared to invade Lopez's territory. This time, I must let them know that even if we are unstable internally, it's not something he, a brat, can manipulate at will!"

Marquis Garcia said to Phil with a straight face.

He can now be said to cover the sky with one hand in Sloven, and has become Lopez's uncrowned king.

"Then I'll be in Wangcheng, and I pray that Uncle, you can come back triumphantly as soon as possible."

Phil seemed very moved and reluctant.

"Then, Your Highness, I shall set off now."
