Chapter 50 Betrayal
In the room filled with the smell of medicine, several castle doctors were running back and forth.
An unconscious man was lying on the hospital bed. His burly body was covered with bandages and he was completely motionless. Only the slight rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still alive. Enzo stood aside quietly, looking at the hospital bed and frowning slightly.
When the patrolling rangers brought the seriously injured O'Quinn back from the forest, Enzo could hardly believe he was still alive.
His left eye was completely necrotic, and scars were all over his body. A sword wound on his chest almost hurt his heart. Even with the great knight's tenacious vitality, it was still a miracle that O'Quinn survived.
"How long will it take for father to wake up?" Enzo spoke quietly and asked the doctor in the room.
"I'm afraid I'm not sure yet." The chief physician answered cautiously.
After being brought back to Kaiyuan by the rangers, the doctors in the castle stayed awake for two days and two nights, trying their best to treat O'Quinn, and finally pulled him back into the arms of death, but no one knew when he would wake up. .
Enzo said no more, but his brows furrowed deeper.
"Treat your father with all your strength. If he wakes up, notify me in time." After a while, he sighed slightly, gave instructions to the chief physician, turned around and left the room.
As soon as Enzo walked out of the room, he saw a figure walking towards him.
"Any news again? Clarence."
The person who came was none other than Clarence. After these days of training, his injuries had basically recovered, and after taking the magic potion prepared by Enzo, his fighting spirit also showed signs of recovery.
"Yes, Master." Clarence said with a solemn expression, "The scouts just sent back the news that three hours ago, Sky Knight Philip led the Black Crow City army to attack Iron Horn City and has now occupied it."
"Did Iron Horn City really fall?" Enzo murmured, his expression did not change much, and he had already been mentally prepared for the fall of Iron Horn City.
After Philip defeated the Kaiyuan coalition, Black Crow City had been destroyed in the sea of fire. He needed a main city as a base, so Iron Horn City, which was the closest and did not have a big knight to guard it, was naturally the best choice.
"Then what should we do next?" Clarence hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Order all the towns to strengthen their defenses and recall all the rangers patrolling outside." Enzo thought with his eyes and said slowly, "Philip has just taken the Iron Horn City. There should be no big moves in the near future. Just be careful."
It had been expected that the Black Crow City army would attack Iron Horn City, so Enzo was already prepared.
One day ago, he had sent a message to Iron Horn City, ordering the defenders to burn the food and grass in the city on the spot. Even if Philip captured Iron Horn City, what he would get would be nothing more than an empty shell.
And without enough military rations, Philip will not be able to start another war in the short term.
This will not only ensure the safety of Golden City and Giant Wolf City, but also allow Kaiyuan City some time to cultivate.
"Okay! I will pass on your order now." Clarence nodded slightly, hammered his chest with his fist, then turned and left.
After seeing Clarence walking away, Enzo also turned and returned to the room.
"After the Black Crow Army takes Iron Horn City, it will take at least a month to recover." Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Enzo thought with his eyes, "After this period of time is over, Philip will definitely provoke a war again, but before that , I must have the strength to fight against it!"
"Knight of the Sky? Let's see how strong you are!" Enzo was eager to try.
The current situation on the ice sheet has become very clear. After the coexistence of the five cities was broken, Black Crow City and Kaiyuan City fought in separate chambers. Today, there is no possibility of coexistence between the two. Perhaps after the next war, Victory will win. The one who will become the sole ruler of the Cold Plains.
"In the next time, just try to improve your strength as much as possible." Enzo closed his eyes and gradually entered a meditative state.
Before I knew it, another two days had passed.
During this period, the castle doctors tried their best, but still could not wake up the unconscious O'Quinn. Enzo could only meditate to accumulate magic power while spending energy to maintain order in Kaiyuan City.
In the evening of this day, Enzo had just finished his daily meditation and was preparing to have dinner.
Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door, and Enzo couldn't help but frown slightly. As soon as he raised his head, he saw the door being pushed open, and Clarence walked in with an ugly expression.
"What's wrong? Clarence." Enzo asked a little strangely.
"Giant Wolf City has been lost, Master Enzo." Clarence's face was gloomy, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he broke out the bad news.
"Giant Wolf City was captured? How is this possible!?" Enzo was a little surprised and said in surprise: "Did it happen with the Black Crow City army? Philip just captured Iron Horn City two days ago, how could he have enough food and grass to start another war?" ?”
"It's the Golden City!" Clarence said with a sullen face and gritted his teeth, "The Golden City provided Philip with enough military rations and helped the Black Crow City army capture the Giant Wolf City. Now Lord Tyron has withdrawn with the remaining army. Kaiyuan.”
"Golden City?" Enzo's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Yes, young master!" Clarence said solemnly, "The scouts just returned the news that the young master of the Golden City, Luo Kaxi, was assassinated last night. The position of the city master was inherited by his uncle Rodri. That guy just When he came to power, he purged Roble's lineage, swore allegiance to Black Crow City, and provided Philip with a large amount of military rations."
"Rocassi was assassinated?" Enzo frowned.
"Yes, the news has been confirmed." Clarence paused, and then said, "It should be Rodri who did it. Maybe this guy had a heart of betrayal after Lord O'Quinn's defeat. Secret collusion.”
"What's the situation in Giant Wolf City?" Enzo pondered for a moment and then asked.
"After Philip broke through the gate of Giant Wolf City, Lord Tyron knew that he was unable to resist the Black Crow City army, so he promptly ordered a retreat." Clarence said, "The losses of the army were not serious, and after Philip captured Giant Wolf City, he also The pursuit was not continued.”
"That's okay." Enzo sighed, his eyes thinking for a moment.
The fall of Giant Wolf City broke Kaiyuan City's plan to recuperate, and the betrayal of Golden City made matters worse. In just a few days, Kaiyuan City, which had almost conquered the icy plains, now only had one base camp left.
"By the way, is Harris from the Golden City dead?" Enzo suddenly remembered an old friend.
"No, he's still alive." Clarence shook his head and said, "Due to the mysterious death of Roxi, Rodri did not get the support of everyone after he took office. It is said that the Golden City is currently divided into two major factions. As a die-hard member of Roblei, Harris promptly took control of the Golden City’s city guards after Luo Kesi’s death and fought against Rodri’s branch!”
"Moreover, Harris also sent news that he hopes Kaiyuan City will escort Miss Luo Lisi back to the Golden City to take charge of the overall situation, because according to the tradition of the Golden Family, only Luo Lisi with orthodox bloodline is the legal heir of the Golden City!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Enzo's eyes flashed and he murmured, "It seems I need to go to the Golden City."
