Chapter 226: Leaving the Imperial Capital

"charge!"

The warhorse neighed, and then quickly accelerated to the extreme on the street, and the lance rammed directly into the temporary refusal horse with a spiraling air wave, crushing it.

Sawdust fluttered in the air, and then the sound of several musket shots sounded, and sparks and crisp sounds exploded on the knight's armor.

Some bullets bounced off the slope of the armor, while others penetrated its protection and shot into the internal muscles. Fortunately, these knights are also extraordinary people who are different from ordinary people. This small injury is not enough to kill.

After breaking through the obstacles, the group moved forward quickly, and there were shouts for support from time to time around, and some soldiers began to gather here.

Although there are quite a few rebels in the city, compared to the huge Titania, there are not many people assigned to each intersection, and most of the ordinary private troops do not have war horses, and they have to spend money to get there. quite a bit of time.

In this way, after rushing through several street intersections smoothly in the initial stage, the group encountered a slightly decent obstacle.

Nearly 50 guards with muskets lined up in two lines on the street, watching the constant galloping riders begin to take aim.

"Shoot!" Seeing that these riders were getting closer and closer to reaching the optimal range, the commanding officer finally gave the order to shoot.

bang-bang-

The gunshots sounded intensively, even if they were not consistent, they formed a dense barrage in a short period of time, shooting down the knights in the front row. .

The bloody warhorse neighed and fell to the ground, crashing into the pile of resisting horses, causing confusion in the shooting team, and then the knights behind them stepped forward and began to swing their lances, piercing through the guards who were still loading.

The symphony of blood and gunpowder, slashing and parrying sounded, followed by a fierce and tense slaughter.

Although the knights quickly dealt with the guards blocking the way, the horses and debris left behind blocked the road, preventing the carriage from moving forward.

"Let's get off." Seeing this scene, Lily jumped out of the carriage with Hulls in her arms, and was helped by a knight on the horse.

"Please sit still, Your Majesty." Then the warhorse dragged the three over the messy ruins and continued to move forward.

The degree of turbulence on the horse was far greater than that in the carriage. Lily could only feel that the scenery in her field of vision was chaotic, and the remaining flesh and blood on the armor also made her feel nauseated and had the urge to vomit.

Holding her chest tightly, Lily hugged Hulls tightly, closed her eyes, and endured the difficult moment.

Perhaps it was the blessing of the goddess of luck, or perhaps the plan on Sifrey's side was very successful, and they reached the place without encountering too many obstacles.

Several guards in gray smocks were there. After seeing Viscount Van Stein, they quickly moved away and let them enter the warehouse in this commercial area.

"Nairn, is Nairn there?" Van Sten shouted as soon as he got off his horse.

"Yes, yes, I'm here." Said, a businessman with a fat body came out of the room.

"I received your signal, sir, but I didn't expect to see you so soon."

"Is it possible that you haven't had time to report to those big men?" Van Sten said as if joking and warning, and then glanced at the warehouse.

"Aha, how is this possible, I've always been, uh, loyal, you understand." He wiped his sweat and explained quickly.

"Oh, no matter what you think, open that door for me now. I can't control you after that."

Hearing this, the businessman was still a little hesitant, but he saw Van Sten approaching step by step with his sword, and finally shouted quickly.

"Why are you still standing, hurry up and open the black-painted warehouse door in warehouse No. 14!"

"Yes, my lord." Then a few guards in gray smocks moved.

Van Sten only turned around at this time, and let the remaining knights protect Lily and follow him.

"Come along too, or I won't be at ease." Van Sten held the fat businessman's shoulders, and then walked quickly ahead.

"This, okay." The voice was helpless and nervous.

The group walked quickly to a corner of the warehouse, where the previously closed wooden door had been broken open by an axe, and then the merchant instructed his subordinates to pull open the cover under the soil to reveal the tunnel.

"Let's go." Immediately, Van Sten pushed Nien forward together.

The underground passage is very spacious and seems to be ventilated. Lily felt that the air was relatively dry when she walked in it, and there were scattered dry fruits at her feet, which seemed to have been used not long ago.

The businessman was very flustered at first, but then he seemed to have broken the jar and quickly led the way.

"md, it was really unfortunate that I promised you back then, and now I have to give up so many properties and beauties to run away with you!" he said, cursing, but he kept walking.

"Hehe, do you dare to say that you didn't use this secret passage to smuggle, the garbage at your feet doesn't look like it was left a few years ago." Van Stein pointed out the businessman's sophistry.

"Yes, yes, I made some money using this secret passage, um, a little money, but that's what it should be. Don't you need hush money for keeping secrets? I still have to support my family."

"Family? I remember that after you divorced your ex-wife, you never married again."

"I said it is a life partner, not a mediocre, boring, profit-filled marriage of the secular world." Then, the fat businessman began to explain, what kind of heart-to-heart connection, soul friend, and so on.

"Yes, yes, if I hadn't seen you sleeping with multiple women with my own eyes, I might have really believed what you said." Van Sten said indifferently, and then knocked on the surrounding stone walls with his sword.

As a former friend of the emperor, he is not old, only in his 30s, but from the outside, many people think that this is a mature uncle, maybe some people are born mature.

The dark gray hair was neatly combed, and it didn't spread out during the battle. There were only some interfering bloodstains on the corners of the face and neck, but it should not be his own.

In this sarcastic conversation, Lily's original nervousness was also much calmer, after all, they were about to arrive outside the city.

In this way, through the long passage, the ground in a forest opened, revealing everyone who was breathing in the fresh air.

This is a redwood forest outside the city. Because it is in the royal forest farm, few people come here on weekdays, so it is very quiet.

"It's rare that you didn't contact the rebels to wait for us here." Van Sten looked around and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I am someone who can be trusted. You look down on 'good man Nian' too much."

"'Good Nairn'? Maybe, but we'll be parting soon, and hopefully we'll have another chance to meet again in this life."

After the following group of knights led the horse out, Van Sten rode on the war horse, and when Lily and her son were ready, he waved his whip.

"Now, head north at full speed!"

"Yes, my lord."

In the gust of wind, the leaves of the branches slid across the armor and body, this team of ten people galloped through the redwood forest towering into the sky, heading towards the cold north.
