Chapter 323: Mystery

Knight Kyle was still wearing a half-body armor, and although he had wiped his face with a hot towel before entering Krylov III's tent, his coat had not been changed for more than half a month, and it looked dirty.

However, when his pair of tiger skin boots, which were covered with dust and dirt, were on the expensive carpet, neither Krylov III nor Knight Kell's words were spoken, except for the pained expressions of the attendants on the side.

Knight Kell, dressed in half-length armor, sat down opposite Krylov III, and the chair under his hips made a 'crunch' sound, which also made the squire standing next to him swallow, because he knew that this chair was an antiquity, and a 60th birthday gift made by a master named 'Pavlov' for a marquis more than 200 years ago fell into the hands of Andrei IV.

Everything in Krylov III's tent has its own story and origin, and the chair, though not the most expensive, is also an antiquity!

The knight was a barbarian who did not know how to appreciate in the eyes of his attendants, and as a court attendant, he had to be literate, and to follow Krylov III on his expeditions, and to take care of His Majesty along the way, he had to understand what these things were and how to use them, so that he could be careful and correct in their treatment.

But that's not how it works, anyway!

The attendant peeked at Krylov III, but found that His Majesty was not dissatisfied, but waved his hand at him, "Go out, I have something important to discuss with the teacher." ”

"Uh...... Yes, yes!"

The attendant nodded hurriedly, turned around and walked out of the tent, and after walking out of the tent, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After the squires had left the camp, Krylov III turned his attention to Knight Kell.

When he was young, his teacher was already like this, he grew from a teenager to a middle-aged man, and Kyle Knight was still like this, which also made him feel 'unwilling' and 'bitter' in his heart.

'Lifespan' is the greatest restriction of God on human beings, and it is also the greatest gift to human beings, because of the short lifespan, they can strive to burn their lives in a limited time, so that their lives become greater and more dazzling.

It is also because human beings have a longer life span than other short-lived species, so they have been able to create such a brilliant and powerful civilization.

However, it is precisely because it is a short-lived race that human beings are so tirelessly pursuing 'longevity', which is an incomprehensible distress for the long-lived species, and Krylov III is also unwilling to be unwilling to the longevity of Knight Kyle.

He knew that he would not have the opportunity to step into the 'extraordinary' in his life, so he would be unwilling and bitter.

However, this sentiment only existed for a few seconds, and was quickly forgotten by Krylov III, because he had his own goals, there was no need to envy others, and if he could have a longer life, he would be happy, but if he couldn't, he would not be discouraged.

Krylov III took a deep breath, adjusted his mind, and asked Knight Kair, who was clasping his hands and closing his eyes, "Teacher, why do you want to talk to me alone?"

Knight Kyle opened his eyes and said, "Your back path may have been cut off, and I haven't found out who is the one who attacked. ”

Krylov III was stunned for a moment before he understood what Knight Kell's saying that his 'back road was cut off'.

"What?!"

Krylov III slapped the table and screamed outside the tent, and two seconds later, the guards with weapons in hand opened the tent door and rushed in.

"Your Majesty—"

The two guards were slightly stunned when they saw the scene in the tent, and then felt a tingling in their scalps, and then their words were blocked in their throats.

"Let's get out. "Krylov III waved his hand at the two guards and did not blame them.

The two dazed-looking guards obeyed their Majesty's orders, turned around and walked out of the tent, and when the figures of the two of them disappeared into the tent, Krylov III sat down again and asked in a low voice: "Teacher, could you please tell me in detail?" ”

"The other day, probably three days ago, we arrived at the location of this village. Knight Kyle didn't hesitate, and after taking out the map, he pointed out the village so that Krylov III could see it clearly.

Krylov III couldn't help but frown when he saw the position pointed out by Knight Kell's men.

He also knew that behind that village was a flat land, and before that village there was a 'path' between two mountains that could only allow thirty people to pass side by side.

That road was enough for everyone else, otherwise the village wouldn't have become so wealthy, not only because of its geographical advantages, but also because of it.

Because the mountains on both sides are difficult to climb, and the altitude is not high, but not only is the mountain steep, but the mountain is also overgrown with trees, and in this terrain, the role of both cavalry and infantry is greatly reduced.

The village wasn't on their way, but it was a little left and a path through a forest to reach it.

Because there is a wooded area to pass through on the way, that village is not a 'battleground', and if it is to be used for ambush, it must first be timed, and when the time is ripe, it is necessary to ensure that the passing army is not the slightest wary of the path, and from this point of view, the village is simply a 'chicken rib' thing.

If supplies are needed, the village has some effect, but if the war is waged, the village has almost zero effect.

The important thing is not the village, but the road next to the village that is sandwiched between two mountains, if you retreat from where, if the enemy wants to pursue, you must face the broken rear troops, as well as the traps left by the army in front, there will be scouts on both sides of the mountains to ensure safety, if you send archers or even mages, you can successfully block for a while, but the losses after that are not affordable for anyone.

This is a strategic place, and the royal army has spent a lot of effort to take it, if it were not for the fact that the enemy was already frightened at that time, and the knights of Tosolo took the lead in charging to solve the other party's broken back army, then they might have been stopped on the other side of the two mountains before winter came.

"This is the village. Knight Kyle said solemnly: "At first it was my horse that sensed that something was wrong, maybe the dust in the wind made it feel uncomfortable, but then I was sure that there should be something there, but at that time we couldn't be sure, and when we went to this village, ready to rest or resupply, we found that this village was in ruins!"

"Ruins?" Krylov III raised an eyebrow and swallowed.

"Yes, it's in ruins, the whole village has traces of being burned by flames, and there are also some marks of blunt blows, cuts by sharp objects, and other than that, there's nothing!" Knight Kyle sighed, "Whether it's the traces of transfer or the corpses, they're all gone, there's nothing left." ”

"Wait, everything is gone?" Krylov III, stunned, gestured in front of him with his two hands, "all?"

"Yes—"

Knight Kyle nodded, and said, "Yes!"

Knight Kyle paused, then asked, "So what I want to ask is, when did you send someone to make sure that the back road was safe? Ten days ago?"

"No, it was ...... about seven or eight days ago."

Krylov III took a deep breath, "Seven or eight days ago, I received news from the rear, they said that the road was safe......!

"No!" Knight Kyle shook his head, his face becoming heavier, "According to our investigation, we can't be sure when we found that village, but when we found it, it had been two or three days since the village was burned down......!

Krylov III stood up suddenly, breaking out in a cold sweat, "After the news came, the village was already destroyed...... No one noticed!"
