GOR Chapter 465 Target, Head East!
Finally, after the bandaging was done, Princess Louise felt her heart beating so fast that it was suffocating her. She quickly took two steps back and lowered her head, not daring to say anything.
After a while, Hussain whispered, "… … thank you."
The princess' heart trembled. Then, she heard Hussain whisper, "Come to think of it, this is the third time I have said 'thank you' to you since I woke up, Your Highness."
Princess Louise's face flickered slightly. "You, you called me 'Your Highness'? Do you know who I am? "
At this moment, the princess suddenly recalled the words that Daley had said to her in the carriage when she had just been caught. "These people definitely don't look like ordinary horse bandits!"
Having thought of that, Princess Louise became nervous once more. She took two steps back and asked, "Just who are you?"
Seeing that Hussain was not answering, Princess Louise abruptly turned around and attempted to run. Unfortunately, she had only taken two steps when she felt her body tighten. Pain shot out from her lower leg and she fell to the ground.
Hossein sighed and threw away the remaining two stones in his hand. Looking at the exhausted Princess Louise on the ground, he smiled wryly and said, "I am sorry, Your Highness."
Princess Louise felt wronged and she turned to look at Hussain. "You, you are not a mounted bandit! You are not a mounted bandit! I am the one who is stupid … … I should have known. Why did you not appear earlier or later? Instead, you chose to ambush us. You must have come for me! Also … … I heard that the Duke of the Tulip Family had already swept through the Desa Province. How could there be mounted bandits? Besides, you … … you are a Saint-class expert. How could you lower yourself to become a mounted bandit? Tell me, just who are you? "
Hussain did not answer. His face was solemn as he forced himself to sit up. He casually climbed up a nearby tree and broke off two branches with the thickness of an arm. After testing the length, he used the branches as crutches and staggered his way to the princess' side. He spoke in a heavy voice. "I am sorry, Your Highness. I am unable to answer your question right now. However, I promise I will not harm you. Now, please come with me. "
Louise was terrified. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked up at Hussain. "You … Can you let me go? I definitely won't tell anyone … If you want a reward, no matter what you ask for after we return to the Imperial Capital, my brother will satisfy you. Moreover, you're a Saint level expert. My brother is currently reorganizing the empire's army and is in urgent need of talents. With your ability, he will definitely put you in an important position … Can you let me go? "
Paladin's heart couldn't help but soften when he heard her pleading. However, he suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and said seriously, "Your Highness, I said that I won't hurt you. I'm not lying. I have no ill intentions towards you. On the contrary, the guy who chased us last night was the one who came for you! I think he wants to kill you. So, I can't let you go now! You have to follow me. Only by following me can I protect you! "
Although his voice was cold, he couldn't help but soften his tone. Hearing this, Princess Louise stared blankly at Hussein's face. She could tell that this man must be an extremely prideful person – a man with such a prideful personality would normally disdain to lie.
Thinking of this, the princess' heart calmed down a little. However, she asked again, "Then … Can you at least tell me your name?"
Paladin hesitated for a moment. Finally, he said in a low voice, "Hussain!"
"Hussain?" The princess was stunned for a moment. She couldn't help but say, "Oh, you're also called by this name? In the past, in the Shrines of the Imperial Capital, there was a genius Knight. He was recognized as the number one Knight in the continent. His name was Hussain. Unfortunately, he … Ah!! "
Halfway through her words, the princess finally came to her senses. After exclaiming in surprise, she stared at the man in front of her. She covered her mouth with one hand and pointed at Paladin with the other!
"You're right. I am that Hussain." Hussain's face was cold. Speaking of the past of the Shrines, this was a hidden pain in his heart.
"But, but, but …"
"Humph, but what!" Being reminded of the painful past, Hussain couldn't help but feel irritated. His tone also became stiff.
"But …" The princess' voice was very soft, but he heard her whisper, "But, I don't think you're a bad person. Why did you betray the Shrines? Why did they want to kill you?"
Hussain was stunned.
"I … I'm not a bad person?"
The princess hesitated for a moment. Nodding, she said seriously, "When that winged man wanted to kill me, I saw you use your back to block the spear! Additionally, you also said 'thank you' to me. A truly vicious person would never say 'thank you' to others. I don't understand … Hussain, Knight, why would the Shrines want to kill good people? "
"Because the Shrines themselves are not good people." Hussain said coldly. His next words caused the princess to exclaim again, "Last night, that winged man was sent by the Shrines to kill you! And those enemies who were fighting against my subordinates were all the Shrines' God, Paladin! "
"Ah!" After the princess exclaimed, her body staggered. "Impossible! Shrines … "
"You ask too many questions." Hussain looked around impatiently.
The forest remained silent. After taking a breath, Hussain identified the direction and said, "We'll head east."
"East?" Princess Louise's eyes lit up.
"That's right." Hussain nodded and frowned: "Although I barely escaped in the end, that guy will not let me go so easily. The place we're running to now is not too far. I'm worried that he will catch up at any time! It's just that he will definitely think I'm running to the west …. "
That's right! That Angel Sphinx will definitely think that Hussain is running to the west, in the direction of Loulan City.
However, Hussain knows his own body. The distance from here to Loulan City is too far. He's afraid that with his current body, he won't be able to get far before he's caught.
Last night, Hossein carried the Princess and ran for a distance. Then, he immediately set up a deceptive formation. Next, he turned around, circled around and headed east.
That angel will never think that I would do such a thing!
Moreover, going east, this place is not far from the border of Desa Province. In order to deal with the Northwest Army, the Tulip Family set up two military fortresses on the eastern border of Desa Province.
One of them was the military fortress that annihilated the tens of thousands of infantrymen led by Godolor!
Furthermore, that place wasn't too far away from where he was now. It's much closer than the distance back to Loulan City.
That military fortress is now garrisoned with a lot of troops. If he can successfully escape there, then he'll be safe!
Although in front of a Saint level expert, ordinary soldiers can't stop them. But after all, if the Shrines want to assassinate the princess, they won't dare to do it openly unless they're determined to break with the royal family! Due to the other party's identity, as long as he returns to the Tulip Family's army, he'll be safe!!
There was no doubt that Hussein's thinking was correct, and his plan was also correct.
But when he said to go east, Princess Louise froze. She vaguely guessed something.
But Hussain's face was cold as ice. Although the princess had doubts in her heart, she didn't dare to open her mouth.
"Let's go." Hussain pointed to the east: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, but right now we're alone outside. We don't have any means of transportation. If we come across a populated area, then I'll find a way to find you a horse."
After saying that, Hossein tossed a stick made from a tree branch to the princess. Then, he took the lead and walked toward the east side of the forest. Princess Louise hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she sighed helplessly and followed.
•
A few dozen miles away from where Hussain and the princess left.
At the edge of the forest where the battle took place last night, Du Wei quietly stood there with a gloomy face as he looked at the surrounding battlefield … …
On the ground, there were many corpses lying around. Looking at their clothing, Du Wei immediately recognized that many of them were Longbottom's and Hussain's subordinates!!
Damn it!
Du Wei looked at the corpses of the family's soldiers on the ground. Some of them were still in a fighting posture when they fell to the ground. The ground was covered with blood that had already solidified and turned black! One could imagine what kind of tragic battle they had experienced last night!
However, what surprised Du Wei was that among the corpses on the ground, there were only the bodies of his family's soldiers. Not a single enemy's body was left behind!
Du Wei was immediately certain of one thing: The other party must have taken away all the corpses! This method must be to not leave any evidence behind!!
.
Around the forest, a large number of trees had already been broken and the ground was filled with deep holes and cracks! Clearly, there was an intense battle between experts here!
The large number of broken tree trunks were clearly caused by the collision of dou qi between experts.
Du Wei quickly searched the battlefield, hoping to find some clues.
Finally, his patience paid off. On the edge of a broken tree trunk, he saw a shoe!
This was a typical female leather boot in the style of a palace. The design was noble and elegant, made from the highest quality leather. Additionally, there were two precious pearls embedded at the ankle.
Du Wei picked it up and gave it a look. He immediately recognized that this was definitely something that belonged to Princess Louise!
Then, Du Wei saw the traces on the ground …
"En, the traces of horse hooves. It seems that a large group of men and horses headed west. The traces of horse hooves are very messy, they should be fleeing … I think that Longbottom and Hussain must have led their men to escape … then, I must have been in a hurry to fly here and missed them."
When Du Wei thought of this, his frown deepened!
But how could he explain this leather boot? The most troublesome thing was, how did this princess come to the battlefield? And she even lost a boot?
What he was unable to determine was, did the princess escape with Longbottom's men?
Finally, Du Wei walked along the forest to the west for a while and saw a row of footprints on the ground.
There were deep and shallow footprints and it was very messy! Obviously, when an expert was injured and running away, he was unable to control his body and caused the footprints to be of different depths!
Duwei immediately made up his mind and followed the footprints to run down.
However, after chasing for a while, the footprints suddenly disappeared!
Du Wei thought for a while and his eyes lit up!
That's right! These footprints must be Hussain's!
Because, this was obviously an injured expert! If it was an injured enemy, then the other party would definitely run east and not west! Because west was his base camp, Loulan City!
Since he ran west, he must be on his side!
This was Du Wei's first judgment.
But … why did the footprints disappear here?
Could it be that the enemy caught up? Killed? Captured?
After thinking for a while, Du Wei suddenly hit his head and blamed himself, "Why am I so stupid! This place is so far away from Loulan City. If Hussain was injured, with his experience of being chased by the Shrines, he would naturally be very experienced in escaping! He must know that with his injured state, he would not be able to make the long journey back to Loulan City! He would definitely be caught halfway! So instead of going west, it would be better to escape to the military stronghold in the east! "
After thinking this through, Du Wei did not hesitate and immediately laughed coldly. His body was like a gust of wind, heading east …
