Knowing this, Krylov III was in a mess.

The important thing is not that his back road has been cut off, because now the defeat of the royal army has not been revealed, and even if this back road is cut off, they have other retreat options, even if they are defeated, they don't have to worry about retreating at all.

The problem was that someone was able to sneak into their rear without them noticing, and even after someone had just checked it, without a sound in their rear, and slaughtered a village there.

Although Knight Kyle claimed that this was just speculation, they couldn't confirm whether the village was actually slaughtered, but it was a good possibility.

Krylov III couldn't care so much, he was like a newcomer to Knight Kyle's words as if he trusted his teacher's combat ability and command ability, Krylov III knew his teacher's character, and if he hadn't basically confirmed it, he wouldn't have said such things at all.

That's probably not just speculation, since Knight Kyle has already stated that it is 'very likely', then Krylov III can only take it as 'true'.

He always prepares for the worst when something has a tendency to fail, and that's what he learned from the Knight of Tosoro, who most of the time only leads his soldiers to attack, and the Knight of Tosoro is in charge of retreating, and these two knights work together so that they can protect the long border of the Storm Collar during the multiple invasions of the Black Forest.

However, Krylov III thought that he had only learned the three points of these two knights, so he wanted to ask his other teacher for advice on this matter.

Krylov III picked up a bell that was placed in the corner of the table, shook it, and said to the bell: "Help me to bring over the knight of Tosolo of the Sorrowful Wind Leader, and say that I have something important to talk to him." ”

After saying that, he looked at Knight Kyle apologetically and said, "Mr. Kyle, please wait a moment. ”

Knight Kyle nodded silently, then closed his eyes, waiting for Knight Tosolo to arrive.

After a while, the Knight Tosolo appeared in front of the tent of Krylov III, and he frowned slightly when he saw a long sword set aside by them from the two guards.

"Your Majesty!"

Outside the tent door, the deep voice of Knight Tosolo came, Knight Kyle opened his eyes, saw Krylov III in front of him brows stretched, only to hear him press the excitement, shouting: "Mr. Kem, please come in!"

'Something happened......

When Knight Tosolo heard this, his steps towards him stagnated slightly, and his heart sank, and he opened the door of the tent and walked in.

"Mr. Kem!"

When he saw the Knight Tosolo enter, Krylov III stood up with anxious eyes.

"Your Majesty, I am no longer your teacher, you don't have to call me that. Knight Tosolo shook his head, but he did not stop walking to Krylov III's desk.

"No, you used to be my teacher, so you are still my teacher, and the teacher-student relationship will not change because of our change of identity. ”

Krylov III relaxed a little and pointed to the chair beside Knight Kell, "Mr. Krem, please take a seat, let's sit down." ”

After speaking, Krylov III took the lead in sitting down, even after more than ten years, he still knew his two teachers, Knight Kyle was more indifferent, Knight Tosolo was more elaborate and humble, if he didn't sit down, Knight Tosolo wouldn't sit down.

"Your Majesty, why did you come to me?"

As soon as the knight of Tosolo sat down, he asked straight to the point.

He's a soldier, and like Knight Kyle, he doesn't like to talk around the bush, as it reminds him of the mage nobles of the Sadwind Order.

Playing with words, these knights will never be the match for those who are scathing, but if they are the size of a fist, the nobles will not be able to match them.

Over time, the soldiers of the Sorrowful Wind Leader have formed an atmosphere of 'if they have something to say', and they speak very directly.

"Uh......"

Krylov III originally wanted to have a few words of greeting with the Tosolo knight, but he didn't expect him to be so direct.

The king has been in office for a long time, he has become the person he once hated the most, even his way of doing things has changed, his thinking has changed so much, he almost didn't react, he used to live and study in the Sorrowful Wind Territory for several years.

Krylov III's embarrassment didn't last long, he took a deep breath and said, "Teacher Kem, that's right, when Teacher Kyle came to help, he found this village on the way - that's it, this village has been destroyed, destroyed silently!" It was only seven or eight days ago that news came that everything was safe in the rear and that no trace of the enemy had been found, but after that, the village was destroyed, and according to Mr. Kyle, the village was destroyed probably seven or eight days ago...... So, I think we're in trouble!"

After Krylov III's remarks, the Tosolo knight fell into deep thought.

After the silence of the Tosolo knight, Krylov III also fell silent, he did not want to disturb the thinking of the Tosolo knight.

"Kyle, who made the decision?"

The three people in the tent were silent for a long time, and the knight of Tosolo suddenly turned his head and asked.

"Lorenzo. Knight Kyle's answer was as brief as ever.

"Is this generation of Lorenzo......" Knight Kyle said the 'surname', but the Knight of Tosolo also thought of it instantly, because the previous generation of 'Lorenzo' was their contemporary, but he had already retired due to injury, and the only one who could follow Knight Kyle out was this generation of 'Gregory Lorenzo'.

"Live?"

"There was nothing left but houses, no bodies, and we found coins from some houses. ”

Knight Tosolo only said one word, and Knight Kyle already understood what he meant, and after a slight pause, he added a conclusion: "Not for money, but the corpses are gone, and we think it may be a blood sacrifice." ”

"No, not a blood sacrifice!"

After hearing the words of Knight Kell, Krylov III denied this conclusion, and in the puzzled eyes of the two knights, he explained: "If this is a blood sacrifice, then there must be an altar remaining, but Mr. Kell, you didn't mention that there is an 'altar' there, and you can't skip such an obvious clue, so I don't think you found that there is an altar there." Since there were no altars, there was no way to talk about 'blood sacrifices'! and if it was a blood sacrifice, they would not take all the corpses away or destroy them on the spot, but would stack them on top of each other, so that the evil gods would be able to derive power from the fears of others and take away or destroy the corpses, which would seem more like the handiwork of necromancers, because they needed those corpses or—"

Krylov III suddenly stopped speaking, his face quickly became gloomy, and he took a few heavy breaths in a row to relieve the stirring emotions in his heart a little.

"Or—'soul'!" said Krylov III, gritting his teeth.

"In addition to necromancers, there are many 'things' that are not on the material plane that also crave souls, whether they are 'demons' or 'devils', their thirst for 'souls' is endless!" "Two teachers, we may be wrong, you have been living in the Sorrowful Wind Realm, and you don't have much contact with these things, so you don't know very well. Just like the traces of 'blunt force strikes' and 'sharp cuts' you mentioned just now, plus the fact that the village was destroyed by a fire, then whether it is a 'demon' or a 'devil', they are experts at playing with fire!"

"Besides......" said Krylov III with a gloomy voice, "we are in the midst of war here, and it is not uncommon for hundreds of people to die suddenly, right?"

"If it weren't for the fact that the enemy went around our rear, then it's easy to explain!"
