Chapter 50: Betrayal

Several castle physicians ran back and forth in the room filled with medicine.

There was a comatose man lying on the hospital bed. His burly body was covered with bandages. He was motionless. Only the slightly undulating chest proved that he was alive. Enzo stood quietly standing aside, his eyes frowning slightly at the hospital bed.

When the patrolling rangers brought the seriously wounded O'Queen back from the forest, Enzo could hardly believe that he was still alive.

His left eye was completely necrotic, with large and small scars all over his body, and a sword wound on his chest almost hurt his heart. Even with the tenacious vitality of the great knight, O'Queen's survival was still a miracle.

"How long does it take for my father to wake up?" Enzo spoke quietly, and asked the doctor in the room.

"This... I'm afraid, I'm not sure yet." The chief physician answered cautiously.

After being brought back to Kaiyuan by the rangers, the physicians in the castle stayed up and down for two days and nights, and they tried their best to treat O'Queen. They finally brought him back to the arms of death, but no one knew when he would wake up.

Enzo didn't speak any more, but frowned deeper.

"Take full care of my father. If he wakes up, inform me in time." After a long while, he sighed slightly, and after giving an order to the physician, he turned and left the room.

As soon as Enzo walked out of the room, he saw a figure walking towards him.

"Is there any news again? Clarence."

It was Clarence who came here. After these days of cultivation, his injuries have been basically healed, and after taking the potion configured by Enzo, his grudge is showing signs of recovery.

"Yes, master." Clarence said with a solemn expression. "The scout just sent back news. Three hours ago, the sky knight Philip led an army of Black Raven City to attack Iron Horn, and it has now taken over there."

"Is Iron Horn really lost?" Enzo murmured, his expression didn't change much, he was mentally prepared for Iron Horn's fall.

After Philip defeated the Kaiyuan coalition forces, the Black Rook City was already destroyed in the sea of ​​flames. He needed a main city as a base, so Ironhorn City, which was the closest and had no great knight guarded by it, naturally became the best choice.

"Then what do we do next?" Clarence hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Order the towns to strengthen their defenses, and all the rangers patrolling outside are recalled." Enzo thought through his eyes and slowly said. "Philip has just taken the Iron Horn, and there should be no major moves recently just pay attention."

It had long been expected that the Black Rook Army would attack Iron Horn, so Enzo had been prepared.

A day ago, he had sent a letter to Iron Horn, ordering the defenders to burn the grain and grass in the city on the spot. Even if Philip took the Iron Horn, what he got was just an empty shell.

Without sufficient reserves, Philip would not be able to start a war again in the short term.

This will not only guarantee the safety of Golden City and Giant Wolf City, but also give Kaiyuan City a period of cultivation time.

"Okay! I will pass on your order." Clarence nodded slightly, hammered his chest with his fist, and then turned and left.

After seeing Clarence walking away, Enzo also turned and returned to the room.

"After the Black Crow Army has taken Iron Horn, it will take at least a month to cultivate." Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Enzo thought with his eyes, "After this period of time, Philip will definitely start a war again, and before that , i must have the strength to fight against it!"

"Sky Knight? Just see how strong you are!" Enzo was eager to try.

The current situation on the ice sheet is very clear. After the coexistence of the five cities was broken, the Black Rook City and Kaiyuan City fought against each other. There is no possibility of coexistence between the two. Perhaps after the next war is over, victory The person will become the only ruler of the cold land.

"In the next time, i will improve my strength as much as possible." Enzo closed his eyes and gradually entered a state of meditation.

Before i knew it, another two days passed.

During this period of time, the castle physicians tried their best, but still could not awaken the unconscious O'Queen. Enzo could only meditate and 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.

There was a sudden knock on the door in his ears, Enzo couldn't help but frowned slightly, and as soon as he raised his head, he saw that the door was pushed open, and Clarence walked in with an ugly face.

"What's wrong? Clarence." Enzo asked strangely.

"Great Wolf City is lost, Master Enzo." Clarence's face was low, and as soon as he spoke, he gave out bad news.

"The Great Wolf City was breached? How could this be possible!?" Enzo was a little surprised and said in amazement. "It was the army of the Black Rook City? Philip just won the Iron Horn two days ago, how can there be enough food to start the war again?"

"Yes... Golden City!" Clarence said with a sullen face and gritted his teeth. "The Golden City provided Philip with enough rations to help the Black Rook City army conquer the Great Wolf City. The army withdrew to Kaiyuan."

"Golden City?" Enzo's face suddenly became ugly.

"Yes, Master!" Clarence said solemnly. "The scout just returned news that the young lord of the Golden City Rokashi was assassinated last night. The lord of the city was inherited by his uncle Rodri. The superiors cleansed the Roble line and swore allegiance to Black Raven, providing Philip with a large amount of rations."

"Rokashi was assassinated?" Enzo frowned.

"Yes, the news has been confirmed." Clarencen paused, and then said, "It should be Rodri's hand. Maybe this guy has a heart of betrayal after Lord O'Queen's defeat, and he has long been with Black Raven City collusion in secret."

"What's the situation in Giant Wolf City?" Enzo asked again after pondering for a moment.

"After Philip broke through the gate of Wolf City, Lord Tyron knew that he could not resist the Black Rook City army, so he ordered the retreat in time." Clarence said: "The loss of the army is not serious, and after Philip took the Wolf City, he also Did not continue pursuing."

"That's okay." Enzo sighed, his eyes lighted and thought slightly.

The fall of the Great Wolf City broke the plan of Kaiyuan City to rehabilitate and rejuvenate, and the betrayal of the Golden City was even worse. In just a few days, Kaiyuan City, which had almost conquered the cold land, now only has one base camp.

"By the way, is Harris in Golden City dead?" Enzo suddenly thought of an old friend.

"No, he is still alive." Clarence shook his head and said, "Because of the strange death of Rocassi, after Rokasi took the position, he did not get everyone's support. It is said that the Golden City is currently divided into two major factions. As Robley's loyal party, Harris took control of the City Guards in the Golden City in time after Rokassi's death, and fought against Rodri's Chamber!"

"Furthermore, Harris also sent news that i hope Kaiyuan City will escort Miss Loris back to the Golden City to preside over the overall situation, because according to the tradition of the Golden Family, only Loris with the orthodox bloodline is the legal heir to the Golden City!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Enzo's eyes flickered and murmured, "It seems that I need to go to the Golden City."
