They have been traveling in the Black Forest for seven days. Seer was still reticent, but Grayne could tell that the further away from the royal city, the more uneasy he felt.
He was still thinking about King Jussehel and Prince Doranhel in the royal city. Disaster was going to come at any time, but he seemed to be aloof from it. He could not console himself by faithfully carrying out the prince's wishes.
Glenn saw what he was thinking. He knew that a man like Seer who spoke like a mountain could not be directly persuaded. He is also always looking for the right opportunity.
He said: "It's too slow to walk like this. We have been sneaking in remote forests far away from human traces, and the possibility of being discovered is very small. However, time is also precious to us. Since we believe that we are safe, why not temporarily How about switching to a smoother road? At least we can go faster."
Trinville and Althea naturally had no objections. Seer just nodded, "I know there is a path. However, I can't guarantee that I am the only one who knows it. However, let's try our luck."
The next day, they saw the path that Seer had mentioned.
Although it is just an ordinary path, it has been a long time coming. The moment they escaped from the kingdom, they were not walking on a smooth road without any scruples like now.
Trinville asked: "Mr. Purcell, is there really no problem with this? I mean, we won't just catch up with the guys who are chasing us, right?"
Seer just replied flatly: "Maybe."
Trinville grinned and said with a smile: "That's all? Mr. Purcell, can't you give me some more advice? Maybe you think like me and hope to really catch up with them, right?"
Seer had already mounted his horse and left. He shook his head, and Glenn looked at him and shrugged, speechless. He smiled mockingly to himself and chased after him.
As Seer and Grein analyzed, their circuitous way of traveling caused the pursuers who had been ordered by the king to capture them to lose their traces in the Black Forest. As long as they are more careful, they can get out of the Black Forest Kingdom faster than expected.
That's what Sel wanted, and that's what Grenn could do for him.
Seer is a smart man, and he can guess Gray's good intentions.
Ahead is a three-way intersection, with lush pine trees on both sides of the road, overgrown with weeds, and surrounded by mountains. Looking far into the distance, two roads stretch out into the distance.
It was already noon and they stopped to rest. Althea took off her hood when she left the Royal City of Irina. The long journey, despite the wind and dust, still could not hide her beautiful face. She took out the bread and water and handed them to Sel first.
He took it silently and nodded gently in greeting. She also smiled and showed it to Glenn and the big man Vika.
Glenn said: "Not all of the roads we have walked are familiar to me. Without Mr. Purcell's guidance, we would still be trekking in the high mountains and dense forests of the Black Forest. However, the road ahead is already difficult. Stay with me. It must be leading to the Demon Feather Kingdom and the Purple Bamboo Kingdom."
Seer nodded and said: "If you want to go to the Holy City, the Demon Feather Country is the closest way. However, I can't give you a suggestion that I can't be sure of. You can only decide for yourself which way to go. After that, After half a day, we climbed over the hill in front and reached the territory of the Demon Feather Kingdom. There is still a longer way to go to the Purple Bamboo Kingdom. However, before tonight, we will soon be able to get out of Galadeja. land.”
Glenn said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Purcell. We are very close to the border. Please go back to the royal city and Prince Doranhel."
Sel glanced at him and said in a sullen voice: "It's not Sel's character to give up halfway. Don't take it lightly. There may be a hidden crisis at every step. I want to make sure that you are safe and sound on the land of Galadega. . In this way, when I see His Highness the Prince, I can say that I have completed the important task he entrusted to me."
Glenn then stopped insisting. It is very difficult to persuade a man like Seer who is persistent and tenacious and puts his faith first.
While Trinville was happy to be able to walk out of the Black Forest safely, he also felt sorry for the upcoming separation. He chewed the bread in his hand silently.
Suddenly, Green asked: "Trinville, how many heavily armed cavalry can you handle by yourself?"
Trinville was stunned for a moment, wondering why Glenn would ask such a mindless question. But in front of Purcell, he still answered honestly: "Three or four."
Glenn was noncommittal and asked: "Mr. Purcell, what about you?"
Seer wiped his mouth and stood up: "Five."
Trinville put all the bread in his mouth into his mouth, swallowed it whole, and said quickly: "Six...six. Actually, I just don't want to show off. I can handle seven or eight by myself. Well, that's right. , I can definitely handle it."
"Well, let's consider it eight, plus Mr. Purcell's five, then there are still seventeen left, let me deal with them."
Before Trinville could understand, Seer closed his eyes. He wanted to ask, but jumped up suddenly. There was no need to ask anymore, he also heard the faint sound of horse hooves in the distance. That was the sound of dozens of war horses running together, and it could be heard far away in the open mountains and dense forests. The dust raised by the horses' hooves was already faintly visible, heading in their direction.
Trinville glanced at Glenn with admiration. Not only did he notice the enemy's approach before he did, but he also accurately stated the number of the enemy just by relying on the chaotic sound of hooves that sounded to him. It was really amazing.
Glenn looked at the flying dust in the distance and sneered. He turned back and said, "Since we have no place to hide, there is no need to hide. Well, Trinville, it's time to teach them some lessons. It's time to let them know that we are not blindly escaping and hiding, we have a lot of courage and strength to meet them. If they want to chase, let them chase, but don't try to play a game of chase. That is only fair."
Sel silently stroked the sharp ax in his hand and murmured: "I almost forgot when was the last time I wielded you. In Galadaga, we are almost forgotten. "
Trinville didn't hear what Purcell said. He stamped his feet excitedly and said, "Great, Gray. I've long had enough of hiding, whether it's a scary monster or a hateful king." Chasers, come quickly. If I can't have a good fight, I'll really be depressed. I want to show the king that even though there are only three of us," he paused, "even though we only have Four people, but we are not afraid of your despicable methods. Just come here, the spear in my hand can't wait even more than me."
Seeing him eager to try, talking incoherently, there were three of them now, and four of them now.
He didn't know whether he counted Miss Althea as a warrior, or he suddenly remembered that Cell could be considered a friend who fought side by side through life and death.
The unknown battle was about to break out, but Trinville's words eased the tense atmosphere.
They hid behind trees and boulders, stared at the path, and waited quietly.
Soon the pursuers were in sight. Glenn couldn't help but feel ashamed at the sight. Even on other people's land, they wore the uniforms of Apodoli security guards without any scruples. Perhaps in the eyes of the king, the country of the Black Forest is just a puppet at his mercy and contempt, not worth mentioning.
How dare you do this! Green saw the fire of anger burning in Cell's eyes.
He didn't hold him back, and Trinville jumped out suddenly. He stood in the middle of the road, blocking the security guard's way.
The sudden appearance made the war horse at the front raise its head and neigh, and its hooves flew into the air. They shouted: "Trinville, it's Trinville."
Trinville laughed loudly, raised the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Yes, it's me. Big Vika is here, how dare you be so bold!"
He seemed to have returned to his days in Apodoli. Faced with the scene when he was chasing the thief, he even said the same words.
Apodoli's security guards, led by their commander, Lord Yogana, have dealt with the hunter Trinville countless times. Many people know him and know what he is capable of. They drew their swords one after another and surrounded Trinville.
Trinville grinned widely and showed no fear.
They shouted: "The fugitive Trinville, we are arresting you on the orders of His Majesty the King and the Sheriff Yogana. You have nowhere to escape. Quickly put down your weapons and be captured."
Trinville frowned, dumbfounded. These words were what he used to say when he was a hunter. He never thought that one day, it would be used on him.
He said carelessly: "Since you know who I am, you still dare to speak to me like this. Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you? Listen to my good advice and turn your horse around quickly before I change my mind. Go back, there is still one life left. If you all die, no one will be able to bring my greetings to Lord Yogana. By the way, when you see him, tell him that I miss him very much. But, Just because he and his bunch of drunkards want to see me, they are delusional!"
When the security guards saw him talking arrogantly to himself, they started to make noises and yelled: "You are still talking arrogantly when you are about to die. Where is your accomplice? Has he escaped? Tell me quickly, where did he escape to?" Already?"
Glenn also walked out from behind the tree. The security guards were as if they were facing an enemy, and some even had a look of panic on their faces.
Glenn sneered secretly in his heart. At first, they were still thinking about whether they could defeat the enemy in front of them, but now they can be convinced without hesitation that they will definitely defeat the enemy in front of them. Although he didn't know Seer's ability, he believed in himself and Trinville. Although the enemy in front of him was numerous and powerful, it was vastly different from the Guards he once led.
He said calmly: "I also advise you, it is best to listen to my friend's good advice. It is not too late to turn back now. Our swords do not want to be stained with the blood of the Apodoli people."
His calm look made the security guards even more frightened. In order to cover up their panic and cowardice, they shouted loudly: "You two, how dare you speak out nonsense! When we arrest you all, you will be honest."
"Who said there were only two people!" With a loud voice, the tall and strong Seer appeared on a huge rock. He was carrying a giant axe, standing high and imposing.
The security guards were in panic again. However, they quickly understood the situation. Although there was one more criminal being pursued, there were thirty of them, and the situation was still absolutely favorable to them.
They asked, "Who are you?"
Seer said coldly: "I am the former captain of the palace guard of Galadega, Seer."
Apparently none of the security guards had heard of Purcell's name. Besides, the Gray En and Trinville they faced were already famous, so how could there be so many powerful people there. They didn't take Sel seriously at all.
"It turns out you are an old former guard. Since you are from the Black Forest country and are not the fugitive we want to arrest, you should hide aside quickly and don't hinder us. Otherwise, don't blame us for arresting you as well."
Seer looked up to the sky and laughed, and the security guard became angry with shame.
"Why are you laughing? What do you want to do!"
Seer sneered: "What to do? That's a good question! Let me tell you, what I want to do! I am Gala Deja's bodyguard. I see soldiers from other countries doing whatever they want on the land of Gala Deja. I am the biggest fear of a veteran. Shame. By the way, I’m not from the Gaoshan Nation, so I don’t care if the blood on my ax blade is the blood of the Gaoshan Nation. You’re right, I’m going to kill you!”
The vigilantes were furious and galloped their horses towards Trinville and Grain. Trinville swung his spear and was about to resist. Seer let out an earth-shattering roar that shook the valley.
He is as powerful as a god, descending from the sky. The security soldiers facing him were already frightened by his roar. He only had time to raise his sword above his head. There was a flash of cold light and blood splattered. The giant ax that fell in mid-air had already split him and his horse in half!
Even Grayne and Trinville were stunned by the shocking power that Cell burst out. The security guards, who were already stern in appearance, were frightened out of their wits. After staying for a moment, they all shouted and fled in all directions. He disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, leaving only smoke and blood all over the ground.
Trinville's tongue was still hanging out and he forgot to retract it. He and Glenn looked at each other. The scene just now dazzled both of them, who had been used to seeing blood and tragedy for a long time. It was simply unbelievable.
Witnessing a battle where the numbers were vastly different and the strength was clear, all was wiped out in an instant and became silent under the shocking blow of Seer's axe.
Seer had wiped the blood on the ax blade, as if nothing had happened. He walked up to the two of them and said: "Mr. Trinville, how long do you want to stay here? If you can close your mouth, we can set off. Let's go, there is still a lot of distance ahead."
He shouldered his ax, mounted his mount, and rode away.
Trinville murmured: "Grain, did you see that?"
After Grain calmed down for a moment, he felt like he was sweating profusely. He laughed softly and said: "Yeah, it's really scary. We are so lucky that Prince Doranhel is our friend, otherwise Mr. Purcell would come after us."
After hearing this, Trinville couldn't help but stick out his tongue again.
Purcell's magical power puts even the always conceited Trinville to shame. He tutted and praised all the way. But Purcell acted as if he didn't hear anything and just rode ahead to lead the way.
But from then on, no matter what he did, he couldn't make Trinville's admiration decrease by half.
At dusk, the moment of separation finally arrived.
Seer held the reins and said: "I can only send you here. The front is no longer Galadeja's territory. No matter which road you take, you can reach the White Dragon City. There will be longer and more difficult roads ahead. The long journey is waiting for you, but I believe you will definitely reach the Holy City. Let us say goodbye here. Let me also wish you a safe journey, friends."
He said, "Friends."
In Seer's heart, he already regarded them as friends!
And they have already thought so.
Both Grain and Trinville expressed their sincere gratitude to Purcell. "Everything that Mr. Purcell did, we all remember. I'm sure we will see each other again," Glenn said.
The companionship and fighting along the way gave them a deep friendship and they were reluctant to part. Trinville was even more reluctant to say goodbye to Purcell, feeling quite sad.
Seer waved to them, mounted his horse and galloped towards the way he came.
Trinville sighed: "He is the most admirable hero I have ever seen."
Grayn agreed very much: "Having him by Prince Dolanhel's side is the blessing of the Black Forest. At least, he knows what to do."
Until Purcell's figure disappeared into the mountains and dense forests, Trinville asked: "So, which way should we take?"
But Glenn smiled and said, "You can't go either way."
Trinville looked at him strangely and asked: "So, what should we do? There are only these two roads in front of us."
Glenn said leisurely: "You also saw it, Trinville. We just came out of the dense forest. We thought it was a little-known path, but the king's killer was following us everywhere." He looked at Trinville,
"Don't forget, no matter whether it's the Demon Feather Kingdom or the Purple Bamboo Kingdom, we don't have friends like Prince Doranhel and Mr. Purcell. The next time we encounter the killer who is chasing us, we will only have to fight. No more I’m as lucky as I was just now.”
Whether it is the Demon Feather Country or the Purple Bamboo Country, Grein understands them all.
Like the Zizhu Kingdom, the Demon Feather Kingdom does not border Apodoli, and the Black Forest lies between them and the kingdom.
However, they are not that powerful compared to the Black Forest. In view of this, their attitude towards Apodoli is as respectful and respectful as other countries on the mainland.
"I guess King Leiden and King Michak will not let us go at least for a little bit of face like King Jussehel did. However, since even the aloof King Jussehel can't King Orzin survived the pressure and only gave us three days. He knew that in three days, we would not be able to leave the Black Forest Kingdom. Therefore, he was actually hunting us down with the enemies who were about to attack them. On this matter, we have remained consistent.
I mean, without Seer's help, although I also know some roads, we might not have reached the border area as smoothly and safely as we do now, and it would have taken more time. The monarchs of the Demon Feather Kingdom and the Zizhu Kingdom have always maintained a good relationship with our king. To be sure, it was inconceivable that we could pass through these two countries without being hunted. We cannot fight the enemies who pursue us and block us, while dreaming of arriving at the Holy City unscathed. We can't. "
Trinville nodded frequently, "But, I still didn't understand." He stood on the top of the mountain, and the road spiraling down from the top of the mountain was hidden in the thick forest. "There are only two roads right now. No matter which road we take, we will inevitably pass through the two countries you just mentioned. What should we do?"
Glenn held their hands and said, "You have always trusted me, right? I want to hear what you say and let me feel your thoughts in my heart."
Althea smiled and nodded, and Trinville said: "We have gone through ups and downs together from Apodoli to get here. You have seen our determination. So, Glenn, why are you still asking like that? What? You clearly know our answer. Just decide. Anyway, I don’t care which way to go."
"Then, let's take the third path." Grenn said happily.
