Ta, ta, ta …
A series of crisp sounds rang out in all directions, sounding like the sound of horses stomping on the ground.
It was currently a rainy day, and it continuously rained outside. At a glance, the sky was filled with dark clouds, making it look quite dark.
Chen Heng rode his horse on the road, hurrying along.
"How is the situation in the Kutu Royal City?"
Chen Heng asked as he looked at his emissary.
Even though he was hurrying, Chen Heng did not stop receiving news from the Kutu Royal City. Every few days, he would receive news from the Kutu Royal City.
Over the past ten or so years, Chen Heng had sent many emissaries to the Kutu Royal City to collect information for him.
Moreover, he had made great use of the connections he had in the Kutu Royal City back then.
In the dark, many nobles were in contact with Chen Heng, secretly passing on information for him.
This was especially so at a time like this.
The southern rebel army was about to arrive, and with Olivia's army, it seemed like a storm of blood was about to descend.
Smelling the stench of blood, those people naturally knew how dangerous this was, so they desperately hoped that Chen Heng would come.
It was not that they did not know the consequences of Chen Heng rushing to the Kutu Royal City, but so what?
Compared to the southern rebel army, Chen Heng was their friend and old acquaintance. He had deep ties with them and had a large army, so he was worthy of their trust.
To put it bluntly, with Chen Heng's reputation and image, he was even more trustworthy than Olivia.
This was even more so for the southern rebel army.
After all, if the southern rebel army really attacked, even though Olivia, who represented the Kutu Royal City, would not be able to escape, they would not be able to do anything good either.
This was no longer a simple matter of rebellion but a matter of living space.
The rebellious army in the south would definitely need to expand to the north to seize their benefits. They might even need to slaughter their entire family and plunder the wealth they had accumulated over the years to divide the spoils.
As nobles, they couldn't be any clearer about the actions of the lords in the rebel army. They knew very well what would happen to them if they came.
Even if they did not die, they would lose a layer of skin.
After all, if they did not take their share, how would they split the spoils and fill their stomachs?
However, if Chen Heng came, things would be different.
At the very least, with Chen Heng's reputation, as well as his relationship with them, it would be much better for him to enter the Kutu Royal City than the southern rebel army, at least in terms of etiquette.
His reputation was also one of them.
After many years of hard work, Chen Heng's reputation was incredibly good, and he was known to be benevolent, friendly, and resolute.
If he entered the Kutu Royal City, at least those who were on good terms with Chen Heng would have their lives and wealth protected.
With this, it was enough.
As such, when Chen Heng set out towards the Kutu Royal City, he would often receive messengers every few days.
Moreover, as they got closer and closer to the Kutu Royal City, the number of emissaries continued to increase.
As for the so-called resistance, there was no need to even mention it.
The territory between the Kutu Royal City and Sordar City belonged to the northern rulers and the Kutu royal family.
The former was naturally not a problem, and as for the latter, he did not dare to disobey Chen Heng.
It was Olivia who had given the order for Chen Heng to go and provide reinforcements, and this was something that many people knew.
On the other hand, as Verna's husband, Chen Heng was also a member of the royal family, and he could be counted as a Prince of the royal family.
Of course, what was more important was his military force.
Adding on the 5,000 people from the main army and the 5,000 people from the northern rulers, there were 10,000 people in total.
This was not a motley crew but an elite force that had been trained for many years and had fought against the Outlanders in the north.
With this sort of strength, it would not be a problem for them to wipe out the southern rebel army in one battle, let alone the pitiful military force in the royal family's territory.
After a few large battles, the royal family's army had all been mobilized, and there were not many people guarding the territory. As such, they naturally did not dare to stop Chen Heng.
He directly passed through this territory. Not only did he not encounter any battles, but he even used his prestige and status as a royal family Knight to obtain supplies from many places, allowing him to quickly advance.
Soon, the Kutu Royal City was right in front of Chen Heng, and he was very close.
"The Kutu Royal City is still the same as before, but a few days ago, Her Majesty fell unconscious again. This time, she has been unconscious for half a day and has not woken up."
In front of him, the ambassador from the Kutu Royal City gave Chen Heng some information about the Kutu Royal City.
"Please go back and tell your master to wait in the Kutu Royal City. I will be there soon to meet with him."
Chen Heng made up his mind and gave a slight smile as he looked at the ambassador.
After chasing away the emissary, Chen Heng continued onwards for a few more days.
Only after a few days did Chen Heng inwardly let out a sigh of relief when he saw the Kutu Royal City's walls.
"Very good."
Chen Heng inwardly let out a sigh of relief and smiled as he looked at the massive city walls.
He did not hesitate and directly ordered the army to advance.
The densely packed army moved forward slowly. At a glance, they were so densely packed that it seemed as if there was no end to them.
This scene could cause anyone to feel panic, and the atmosphere was quite serious.
"Damnit!"
On the city walls, looking down at the massive army, an elder's face was ashen, and his heart felt cold.
The elder was quite tall and wore full-body armor. It was just that his right arm was missing, as if it was crippled.
If Chen Heng was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this elder. He was one of Olivia's three Grand Knights, Knight Mader.
"This is Count Narda's army?"
Looking at the densely packed heads below, Mader felt a chill in his heart.
Even though he did not have the same strength as before, he had been through many battles and could tell at a glance how powerful this army was.
This was a rare elite army, and even in his life, he had rarely seen such a powerful army.
"Sir."
Someone walked over from the distance and looked at Mader as he said, "They say that they are following Her Majesty's orders, and they want us to open the gates."
Hearing this, Mader's expression became even more unsightly.
Open the gates?
As someone by Olivia's side, he was not a Knight who only knew how to kill people. He naturally knew the consequences of opening the gates.
