Chapter 936! He is looking for me
……
In fact, there was another member of the protagonist group in the fortress prison, a middle-aged thief named Wood Jack. However, since Shen Ye did not experience the plot in the original story where the protagonist group was arrested and imprisoned by the fortress soldiers, he naturally "forgot" him.
However, whether he is there or not doesn't have much impact on the protagonist group, because the thief himself is a presence that livens up the atmosphere...
Fortress of Maiz is an outpost of Aram, the capital of the Kingdom of Arania. If you walk, it will take at most one day to reach Aram from there.
Everyone was riding horses. They set out in the morning and saw the city walls of Aram in the afternoon.
Looking at the tall city not far away, Jim couldn't help but say proudly: "This city was built by us dwarves. Most of the buildings are made of rocks. Even the ground is paved with a thick layer of stone slabs. The wide roads can even accommodate five carriages running side by side."
Hearing the dwarf's boasting, even though the relationship had eased a lot, Deedlit couldn't help but pour a bucket of cold water on him: "But the people living here are not dwarves, but humans."
"Shut up." The dwarf said angrily.
"I won't. The only one who can make me shut up is Shen." Deedlit looked at Shen Ye complacently: "Right?"
"Hmmmm..." Shen Ye nodded frantically, but in his heart he was thinking about what method he would use to make Deedlit shut up in the future... It was so sinful.
As they were talking, the city gate was already in sight, but Pan pointed at a soldier squatting at the city gate in surprise and shouted: "Isn't that the soldier who went to Aram to deliver the letter last night? Why is he here and not going in?"
"Yeah! Is it impossible to prove one's identity?" Priest Et also echoed in confusion.
"Let's go over and ask. Maybe he's encountered some difficulties."
This was said by Shen Ye, but he knew very well the reason... The Kingdom of Alania did not want to go to war with the Kingdom of Mamo at all. They were only thinking about seeking peace, or... surrendering.
As a thousand-year-old country, Alania had long lost its confidence and courage to fight.
"Why are you staying here instead of going in?"
After the group walked over, Paan couldn't wait to ask.
"They won't let us in." The soldier pointed to the guards at the city gate: "I told them the news of the fortress's great victory, but they didn't believe it. Although the news was passed on later and the king's response was given to me, but..."
At this point, the soldier pulled out a roll of parchment from his bosom and handed it to Parn.
"You'd better see for yourselves."
Several heads immediately gathered around Parn, but after reading the words on the parchment, everyone's faces looked unhappy.
"What do you mean by fighting the Mamo Kingdom without permission? Do we want Captain Jerrab to just abandon the fortress or surrender?"
"Captain Jerrab is holding the fort. It's fine if he's not promoted, but why is he being dismissed?"
"How can the country be governed well if it is handed over to these insects?"
Everyone was talking indignantly, and Pan even rushed to the guards and wanted to enter Alan, but was stopped by the guards.
Looking at the noisy Parn, Shen Ye said calmly behind him: "Enough, Parn, you can't change their minds anyway, don't waste your time."
"But Captain Jerrab..."
"This is the best ending for Jerabu." Shen Ye interrupted Paan.
His words caused confusion among the crowd.
Paan shouted: "What did you say... the best outcome? But he was fired."
"Isn't it a good thing for Jelab to be dismissed?" Shen Ye glanced at Parn, and then explained to everyone: "If he is dismissed, he will no longer have to defend the fortress. Even if the Mamo Kingdom makes a comeback, at least he won't have to go to the battlefield again. Isn't this a good ending?"
Shen Ye didn't care at all about the ending of the Kingdom of Arania. On the contrary, he cared more about Jelab. After all, he was a good man, and good people should have a good ending.
Paan was stunned by Shen Ye's words. He wanted to refute but felt that it seemed to make sense. He could only look at other people for help.
Among all the people, except Et who was the same age as him, the youngest of the others was a generation older than him and naturally had more experience than him. Seeing his eyes sweeping over him, the dwarf spoke first.
"What Shen said is right. If you are really worried about Jerabu, why not let him retire? At least he doesn't have to go to the battlefield and die."
"Besides, it's not worth dying for a country like this," Slein added.
After hearing what the two said, the righteous boy fell silent, seeming to find it hard to accept.
After a while, Parn said, "Where are we going next?"
"If Alan can't get in, then we can only change our plan and go directly to the Kingdom of Valis." The dwarf looked at the sky and continued, "While it's still early, let's hurry on and try to find a good place to camp before dark."
"That's all we can do." Parn nodded, and then he returned the parchment to the soldier: "Sorry, there's nothing we can do."
The soldier said nothing, but silently put away the parchment, then mounted his horse and left.
Looking at the soldiers riding away on horseback, Shen Ye shook his head slightly, and then said to everyone: "Let's set off too."
……
Just as Shen Ye and his group were on their way to the Forest of No Return, on the other side...
"Ashram, I heard that you suffered a defeat in Araniya?"
Inside the tent, Ashram held a communication stone in his hand, and a steady male voice came from it.
Even though the communication stone could not see the other party, Ashram still knelt on one knee and said with guilt: "Your Majesty, I met a very powerful swordsman and was defeated by him."
"Oh, there is such a powerful character in the Kingdom of Alania? Interesting." Although the Dark Emperor Beirut was called His Majesty by Ashram, he was not angry because of Ashram's failure: "In that case, let's let Alania go for now and attack Wallis first..."
At this time, the witch Kara, who was also in the tent, suddenly said: "If possible, I hope Your Majesty will continue to let Lord Ashram continue to attack Alania."
"Why?" Beirut asked curiously.
"I have seen that swordsman. He is not from the Kingdom of Alania. He has his own things to do and will not stay in Alania."
"Are you so sure?" Beirut continued to ask curiously.
"Of course." Witch Kara smiled slightly: "Because, the person he is looking for is me..."
