In the empty room, an arm hung down powerlessly, leaving Adil's shoulder.
A life was gone.
Feeling this, Adil raised his head and looked at the corpse in front of him.
Earl Polia's corpse had been deformed. At this time, it was covered in black and red blisters, and the body had become bloated and ugly.
Black and red blood continuously seeped out of the body, drenching the clothes on the body. It looked extremely horrifying.
Seeing this, Adil sighed and silently stood up.
He looked at the room, and finally imprinted this scene in his heart. Only then did he leave without hesitation, walking towards the door outside.
After walking past the door, Elwa and the others were already waiting there, and they were all a little silent.
Adil glanced at his surroundings.
The Knight of Prahl stood there quietly, appearing somewhat silent. The expression on his face was stiff and solemn, but there was also a hint of sorrow. Elwa's eyes were a little red and swollen, and it was obvious that he had just cried.
They did not ask about Earl Polia's situation, and it was obvious that they had already guessed the final outcome.
"Let's go!"
Seeing them like this, Adil shook his head and took the lead, saying, "The castle is no longer safe. We have to leave here immediately."
"After leaving the castle, where are we going?" Elwa suddenly interrupted, a little lost in his eyes.
"To the Guno Kingdom in the south. We also have people there, and they can guarantee our safety and livelihood."
Hearing Elwa's words, Pilar, who was at the side, continued. It seemed that they already had plans for the rest of their journey.
The group made their decision, and very soon, they walked out of the mansion and quickly walked out.
At this time, not long after the rebellion broke out, Cadilla and the others suddenly attacked the castle, but they had only taken the periphery of the castle. They were still some distance away from occupying the castle.
While they still had a certain amount of control over the troops in the castle, Pilar gathered some of the elite guards according to Earl Polia's orders, and quickly packed up some supplies and left.
… …
"Let's go …"
At a place some distance away from the castle, Elwa looked at the castle behind him reluctantly, and after a long time, said helplessly.
Beside him, Adil was covered in blood. At this time, he was sitting on a black horse, his body exuding a strong smell of blood.
These were the traces left behind when they broke out of the castle.
The outer perimeter of the castle had long since been surrounded. Before leaving, Adil had directly charged into the enemy army, single-handedly breaking through the army that was attacking the castle gates, leading Elva and the others out of the encirclement.
Behind Adil, the Knight of Pral was patrolling on his horse, leading his men to search the surroundings.
There were some warriors slowly advancing around them. Although there weren't many of them, only about three or four hundred of them, they were the most elite troops under Count Polya's command. Every single one of them was an absolute elite warrior.
With these elite warriors and the assistance of a peak Knight like Pular, as well as the large amount of wealth brought out from the castle, it was enough to ensure Elwa's status and livelihood.
If Adil could embark on the path of a Magus in the future, then with his care and the integration of some of the Farcus Family's forces in other kingdoms, the foundation of a great family would be established, and it would not necessarily decline.
"We're about to leave our original territory."
On the side, Pular rode to Adil's side and said to him, "Although the area ahead still belongs to the north, it's already the territory of other nobles, and we may run into some unexpected situations."
"Since Alcadira and the others have chosen to attack us, there's no reason for them to spare the territories of other nobles. They should all be in chaos by now."
He calmly analyzed.
On the side, Adil nodded in agreement.
In order to prevent any accidents, after the team had rested for a while, Pular once again took some of the cavalry out to patrol and scout the surrounding terrain.
The next day, accidents began to happen.
In the territory of a minor noble, they found a team of other nobles. After seeing Elwa and his party, they were very excited and asked to join them.
After some questioning, Adil and the others understood the reason.
It turned out that a few days ago, the entire north had been attacked by armies. The several kingdoms in the north seemed to have agreed on it, and each of them sent troops to attack the territories of the various lords.
At this time, the north was in a period of weakness. The armies of the various lords had just been mobilized to participate in the war against the orcs, and before they could recover their strength, they were attacked.
An unknown noble brought new information and angrily cursed in front of Adil and the others, "That traitor Alcadira! On the surface, he's fighting the orcs, but in reality, he's deliberately sending our troops to their deaths for the sake of this situation!"
In the previous battle against the orcs, Alcadira had deliberately trapped the allied noble forces of the north. A large number of noble troops had been sent to their deaths, and even the nobles leading them had died in battle. Only a very small number of people had survived.
In fact, when Adil thought back to that battle, he felt that something was amiss.
As a member of the Farcus family with Magus aptitude, according to common sense, even if he was sent to the battlefield, he should have been well protected. Why would he deliberately be sent to the frontlines to participate in the fiercest battles?
Of course, there was no point in dwelling on this now.
A large number of nobles who had lost their territories were preparing to evacuate, and after seeing Elwa, they asked to join their team.
Looking at these people, Adil and Pular discussed for a while and decided to accept them.
Although these nobles were in dire straits, they were basically vassals of the Farcus family in the past. They were either members of the Farcus family or relatives by marriage, so there was a certain guarantee of loyalty.
Although these people had lost their territories, they still had a certain amount of strength. If they accepted them, they could also expand their strength and strengthen their own reputation.
The only hidden danger was that once the number of nobles they accepted increased, the composition of the team would become more complicated, and the speed of progress would be much slower.
Regarding these problems, Adil and Pular thought about it for a long time, but in the end, they no longer hesitated.
Although accepting these nobles would cause some trouble, Adil and Pular's strength was enough to suppress these internal problems.
And now, the north was in complete chaos. The forces that had invaded the north were now busy seizing territory. Whether it was Alcadira or the forces of the other kingdoms, they might not have the time to specifically send people to hunt them down.
