Chapter 5 Unknown Situation
The next day, early morning.
It was still dark, so foggy outside, that a loud noise woke Enzo from his sleep.
Putting on his shirt, he stood up and walked to the window. Enzo looked outside the castle. On the street between two rows of trees, a large number of carriages carrying supplies appeared. There were many cavalry accompanying them. They looked like they were from Kaiyuan City. people.
"Come here!" Enzo shouted towards the door.
"What's wrong, Master?" Daisy hurried over.
"What's going on outside? Why are those cavalry back?" Enzo asked.
"Listening to the male servants, it seems that the war is over." Daisy said softly, "O'Quinn and Lord Tyron returned to the castle last night, and the cavalry followed his orders and took away the plundered goods during the war. The supplies will be gradually sent back to Kaiyuan City."
"Is it over?" Enzo frowned slightly, with an ominous premonition rising in his heart, "The Giant Wolf City has not been conquered yet, how can the war end?"
Giant Wolf City relies on towering walls, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if O'Quinn takes action personally, it will be difficult to break through in a short time. According to the previous strategy, Kaiyuan City obviously intends to cut off the resource supply of Giant Wolf City first, and then besiege it. Making it self-defeating is the safest method, but it will take at least a month.
The war ended hastily, the army retreated to Kaiyuan City, and O'Quinn apparently abandoned the Wolf City.
"With the war situation developing to this extent, O'Quinn is bound to win the Giant Wolf City." Enzo thought in his mind, his eyes flickering, "But now he suddenly made a choice, obviously out of necessity, combined with the transfer of Tyron yesterday. The secret order to go to the battlefield, all of this is probably related to what happened during the attack on Wolf Tail City!"
"Father is there, I want to see him." Enzo raised his head and said solemnly.
"Okay, I'll report it right away." Daisy exited the room, but after a moment, she brought Pariste back.
"Where's father?" Enzo frowned slightly.
"Master Tyron and Master O'Quinn are both in the underground training ground." Pariste bowed and replied, "Last night, Master O'Quinn told me after he returned that he and Master Tyron would be in seclusion in the training room. Any No one is allowed to disturb you. During this period, you have full authority to handle all matters of Kaiyuan City."
"Let me handle it?" Enzo was a little surprised and asked, "Xavier didn't come back?"
O'Quinn knew very well what his son's abilities were, and he would not trust Enzo to hand Kaiyuan City into Enzo's hands. In the past, when he led the army in battle or encircled and suppressed bandits, Kaiyuan City was usually managed by Xavier. , that handsome young man not only has amazing talent, but also has convincing abilities.
"Lord Xavier led a part of the army and was still surrounding the Giant Wolf City." Parist bowed slightly and continued, "Lord O'Quinn knows that you are not familiar with the management methods of Kaiyuan City, so he ordered me to assist you until Until you can handle government affairs alone."
"That's it." Enzo remained silent, his thoughts changing.
Ordering Xavier to continue the siege of Giant Wolf City, it was obvious that O'Quinn was unwilling to give up an easy victory. However, after the attack on Wolffur Town failed, he secretly transferred Tyron, who was in Kaiyuan City, to the battlefield to support him, and then returned to the castle. He even locked himself directly into the training ground.
A series of abnormal actions made Enzo feel uneasy.
"Could it be that he was injured on the battlefield?" Enzo speculated in his mind, his eyes flickering, "But who can injure O'Quinn?"
In the entire icy plains, the former master of the Giant Wolf City, 'Conrad Direwolf', once had the title of the most powerful knight. However, in a head-on battle on the battlefield, he was killed by O'Quinn alone. After such a record, Next, who can defeat or even seriously injure O'Quinn?
"How was your father when you saw him?" Enzo raised his head and asked solemnly.
"Although I only had a brief contact with Mr. O'Quinn, I am very sure that Mr. O'Quinn was not injured." Pariste seemed to see Enzo's thoughts and said with certainty, "Although I am only a knight, my perception ability is still OK. , when I saw Mr. O'Quinn, his body was unscathed, his energy and blood were strong and stable, and even his fighting spirit was full and overflowing, and he didn't look injured at all."
"Are you sure?" Enzo frowned.
"Absolutely sure!" Pariste said decisively, and then said with a smile on his face, "I understand what you are thinking, but Lord O'Quinn is indeed not injured. On the contrary, based on my speculation, it is very likely that another person hastily ended the war. A reason."
"Oh?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.
"I have been following Lord O'Quinn for about twenty years. When he was still a knight, I took on the position of retinue." Pariste puffed up his chest and spoke with a hint of pride, "In the past twenty years, I have been fortunate enough to witness your Lordship. During the journey, from knight to great knight, and then from great knight to the lord of Kaiyuan City, especially when I followed you to encircle and suppress the bandits in recent years, I can deeply feel how terrifying your strength is, and it seems that it has reached a critical point."
"And this time the war ended in a hurry, it is most likely because Lord O'Quinn is about to break through the realm and become a great knight of the sky."
"Knight of the Sky?" Enzo's heart moved, and he felt that Pariste's calculation was reasonable.
"Yes, Sky Knight!" Pariste's face was slightly red and his tone was enthusiastic, "Lord O'Quinn is extremely talented. With his ability, he can definitely do it. And as long as you become a Sky Knight, it will be impossible to capture the Giant Wolf City. Not to mention, even if you want to unify the five cities, it will be easy to become the king of the Cold Plains!" Enzo was silent, thinking in his heart.
"There is too little information, and there is no point in jumping to conclusions." After a moment, Enzo shook his head, "In any case, we will know after my father comes out of isolation. Now it is better to solve the remaining problems after the war."
"You're right." Pariste bowed slightly and calmed down.
"First count the casualties of this war, and then count the spoils."
Enzo thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Master."
Paris took the order and said, "I will prepare a summary of war information and report it to you before noon at the latest."
"Well, as soon as possible."
Pariste bowed and left the room.
