Chapter 50 Betrayal
In the room filled with the smell of medicine, several doctors from the castle ran back and forth.
There was an unconscious man lying on the bed, his burly body wrapped in bandages, motionless, only the slightly rising and falling chest proved that he was still alive. Enzo stood quietly by the side, frowning slightly at the bed.
When the patrolling rangers brought the seriously injured O'Quinn back from the forest, Enzo could hardly believe that he was still alive.
His left eye was completely necrotic, with scars of all sizes all over his body, and a sword wound on his chest almost hurt his heart. Even with the tenacious vitality of a great knight, it was still a miracle that O'Quinn could survive.
"How long will it take for my father to wake up?" Enzo asked the doctor in the room in a calm voice.
"I'm afraid it's not certain yet." The chief doctor answered cautiously.
After being taken back to Kaiyuan by the rangers, the doctors in the castle worked tirelessly for two days and two nights to treat O'Quinn with all their strength, and finally pulled him back into the arms of death, but no one knew when he would wake up.
Enzo didn't say anything, but frowned even more.
"Do your best to treat my father. If he wakes up, notify me in time." After a while, he sighed slightly, gave an order to the chief physician, and turned to leave the room.
As soon as Enzo walked out of the room, he saw a figure coming towards him.
"Any news? Clarence."
The man was Clarence. After these days of recuperation, his injuries have basically healed, and after taking the magic potion prepared by Enzo, his fighting spirit has also shown signs of recovery.
"Yes, young master." Clarence's face was solemn, and he said solemnly, "The scout just sent back the news that three hours ago, Sky Knight Philip led the Black Crow City army to attack Iron Horn City, and now it has been occupied."
"Did Iron Horn City really fall?" Enzo murmured, his expression did not change much, and he had been mentally prepared for the fall of Iron Horn City.
After Philip defeated the Kaiyuan coalition, Black Crow City was destroyed in a sea of fire. He needed a main city as a base, so Iron Horn City, which was the closest and had no knights guarding it, naturally became the best choice.
"What should we do next?" Clarence hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Order each town to strengthen its defense and recall all the rangers patrolling outside." Enzo thought for a moment and said slowly, "Philip has just taken Iron Horn City. There should be no big moves recently. Just be alert."
It was expected that the Black Crow City army would attack Iron Horn City, so Enzo had already prepared for it.
A day ago, he had sent a message to Iron Horn City, ordering the defenders to burn the food and grass in the city on the spot. Even if Philip took Iron Horn City, he would only get an empty shell.
Without enough reserve military rations, Philip would not be able to start a war again in the short term.
This would not only ensure the safety of Golden City and Giant Wolf City, but also give Kaiyuan City some time to recuperate.
"Okay! I'll pass on your order right away." Clarence nodded slightly, pounded his chest with his fist, and turned to leave.
Seeing Clarence walk away, Enzo also turned back to the room.
"After the Black Crow Army takes Iron Horn City, it will take at least a month to recuperate." Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Enzo thought, "After this period of time is over, Philip will definitely provoke a war again, and before that, I must have the strength to fight against him!"
"Sky Knight? Let's see how strong you are!" Enzo was eager to try.
The current situation on the ice field is very clear. After the coexistence of the five cities was broken, Black Crow City and Kaiyuan City fought against each other. There is no possibility of coexistence between the two until today. Perhaps after the next war, the winner will become the only ruler of the cold plain.
"In the next period of time, try to improve your strength as much as possible." Enzo closed his eyes and gradually entered a meditative state.
Unknowingly, another two days passed.
During this time, the doctors in the castle tried their best but still couldn't wake up the unconscious O'Quinn. Enzo could only meditate to accumulate magic power while spending energy to maintain the order of Kaiyuan City.
In the evening of this day, Enzo had just finished his daily meditation and was about to enjoy dinner.
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door. Enzo couldn't help but frown slightly. As soon as he raised his head, he saw the door was pushed open and Clarence walked in with an ugly face.
"What's wrong? Clarence." Enzo asked a little strangely.
"Giant Wolf City has been lost, Master Enzo." Clarence's face was gloomy, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he told a bad news.
"Giant Wolf City was breached? How is that possible!" Enzo was a little surprised and said in astonishment, "Was it done by the Black Crow City army? Philip just captured Iron Horn City two days ago. How could he have enough food and grass to start a war again?"
"It was the Golden City!" Clarence said with a gloomy face, gritting his teeth, "Golden City provided Philip with enough military rations to help the Black Crow City army capture the Giant Wolf City. Now Lord Terran has withdrawn to Kaiyuan with the remaining troops."
"Golden City?" Enzo's face suddenly became ugly.
"Yes, Master!" Clarence said solemnly, "The scout just sent back the news that the young master of Golden City, Rocasi, was assassinated last night, and the position of the city lord was inherited by his uncle Rodri. As soon as that guy came to power, he cleansed the Rovlai lineage and swore allegiance to the Black Crow City, providing Philip with a large amount of military rations."
"Rocasi was assassinated?" Enzo frowned.
"Yes, the news has been confirmed." Clarence paused, and then said, "It should be Rodri who did it. Maybe this guy had a heart of betrayal after Lord O'Quinn's defeat. Collusion in secret.”
"What's the situation in Giant Wolf City?" Enzo pondered for a moment and then asked.
"After Philip broke through the gate of Giant Wolf City, Lord Tyron knew that he was unable to resist the Black Crow City army, so he promptly ordered a retreat." Clarence said, "The losses of the army were not serious, and after Philip captured Giant Wolf City, he also The pursuit was not continued.”
"That's okay." Enzo sighed, his eyes thinking slightly.
The fall of Giant Wolf City broke Kaiyuan City's plan to recuperate, and the betrayal of Golden City made matters worse. In just a few days, Kaiyuan City, which had almost conquered the icy plains, now only had one base camp left.
"By the way, is Harris from the Golden City dead?" Enzo suddenly remembered an old friend.
"No, he's still alive." Clarence shook his head and said, "Due to the mysterious death of Luo Xi, Rodri did not get the support of everyone after he came to power. It is said that the Golden City is currently divided into two major factions. As a die-hard member of Roblei, Harris took control of the Golden City's city guards in time after Luo Kasi's death and fought against Rodri's branch! "
"Moreover, Harris also sent news that he hopes Kaiyuan City will escort Miss Luo Lisi back to the Golden City to take charge of the overall situation, because according to the tradition of the Golden Family, only Luo Lisi with orthodox blood is the legal heir of the Golden City!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Enzo's eyes flashed and he murmured, "It seems that I need to go to the Golden City."
