Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 350: Fugitive prince

A few days later, the news of the demise of the Prince Kingdom spread to the surrounding countries with the footsteps of the merchants, and it also spread to the ears of the Prince Felice of the Prince Kingdom who sought reinforcements in the Kingdom of Lyctus. This wise man After learning of the bad news, the prince was also prepared in grief. He knew that King Luctus Cabrías must have also learned of the news, and his party was in danger.

Cabrias is ruthless and cunning. For a little profit, he can even betray a close friend who trusts him very much. Although Phyllis is very disdainful of his character, the only people who can rescue the motherland are currently He is gone, but now that the Sipus kingdom is gone, Kabrias is very likely to capture himself as a group of people and betray them to the general city-states in exchange for generous rewards.

At this moment, an entourage ran all the way to Phyllis. He looked anxious and said: "His Royal Highness, the army of the Luctus is coming towards us. They are coming aggressively, and they seem to want to bring us all. Grab it."

"What? The action is so fast?" Phyllis's face changed drastically, he ignored the luggage in the room, grabbed the saber placed on the table, and shouted: "Go! Get out of here before the Luctus people come. !"

As he said, he rushed out of the room, ignoring the astonished gazes from the guests on the aisle, and rushed downstairs with a few entourages. The guests on the first floor of the hotel were like a cloud, and people were sitting in their seats enjoying the wine. , Chatting with his companions, seeing a few people rushing out as if fleeing, they were dumbfounded, their gazes moved with the distant back of Phyllis and others, and it took a long time to react.

After a while, the hotel door was roughly kicked open, and everyone's attention was focused on the uninvited guests who broke in. When they saw the incoming people clearly, they all took a breath of fright and saw the heavily armed. The soldiers filed in and quickly took control of the entire hall on the first floor. The leading officer glanced arrogantly at the people in the hall, then turned his gaze to the innkeeper, and said: "By the order of King Cabrilias, capture Sipu As long as you hand over them obediently, there will be nothing wrong with the fugitives from the kingdom of Sri Lanka."

"Sips Kingdom fugitives? We have no fugitives, only the princes of the Cyps Kingdom..." The boss suddenly changed his expression before he finished speaking. He remembered the prince of the Cyps Kingdom who just ran away, and then Combining with the recent rumors about the demise of the Sipes Kingdom, I immediately understood something and quickly said: "They, they just ran away, in front of everyone, they ran away!"

"What?" The officer's face changed drastically, and he kicked over a table closest to him, shocked everyone around him to stand up, "Damn, why didn't you stop them?"

Facing the officer’s questioning, the boss couldn’t tell, he hesitated, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said, "My lord, we don’t know that it is a fugitive from the Sips Kingdom... if we know it," It will stop them no matter what."

"Huh." Hearing this, the officer snorted coldly. He didn't want to continue talking nonsense with the boss. He motioned a few soldiers behind him to come over and ordered: "Follow the boss and search the room of the fugitive."

"Yes."

Then he asked the people around: "Which one of you saw the fugitive fleeing in which direction?"

"They ran towards the port." Someone replied, and the others agreed.

"Harbor?" The officer's expression changed, and he slapped his face and said, "That's okay!" He said, and regardless of the puzzled look of the surrounding soldiers, he took the lead and rushed out the door, yelling: "Follow me! Be with them." Catch them before you escape by boat!"

When the words fell, the soldiers rushed out of the hotel again. The pedestrians on the street were bustling. There was no trace of Phyllis and others, but the officer didn't think so. He gritted his teeth and rushed to the street to block the passersby in front of him. Pushing away arbitrarily, their group made the whole street turbulent. The person who was pushed away just wanted to swear. When they saw that they were heavily armed soldiers, they lost their temper in an instant, and the curses were hardened. Shengsheng swallowed back.

On the other side, Phyllis and others, who fled first, crossed the bustling streets and finally got into the port. Although the port of Lyktos is not as prosperous as the ports of those powerful countries, it is considered more developed. , There are more than fifty ships entering and leaving this port every day, so Phyllis’ escape route was directly set here.

Because the capture was not carried out across the city, the soldiers stationed in the port did not take any action. Felice and others found the captain of a merchant ship heading to other cities and stuffed the opponent with dozens of Osa silver coins. Obtained permission to board the ship. Fortunately for them, after they got on the ship, the merchant ship put away the anchor and set sail, and when they were about to leave the port, the army that pursued them was late and blocked the entire port, prohibiting any ships from leaving.

However, by the time the blockade was completed, Phyllis had already left the port of Lyktos.

The search in the city didn’t stop until noon the next day. Even if Luctus’ army digged three feet, Felice and others could not be found. The furious King Cabrías directly ordered the hotel owner and the officer in charge of the matter. In the arrest, the former ransacked his home for the crime of hiding the fugitive and put him in exile, while the latter was imprisoned for the crime of unfavorable work.

Phyllis didn't know about all this ~lightnovelpub.net~ Even if he knew it, he wouldn't have any feelings. At this time, he was standing on the deck of the merchant ship named "Alice", looking at the direction of Cypress City in the distance, wondering what the old father would end up with. The more he thought about it, the tears fell. I couldn't help rolling in his eyes, if he hadn't forcibly resisted it, it would have flowed down his cheeks.

At this moment, the old captain of the merchant ship came over and leaned relaxedly on the gunwale next to Phyllis. He looked at Phyllis’s handsome profile face, speaking with a strong accent on the South Ossa Peninsula. Said: "This sir, the merchant ship is going to the Tarusatia city-state in the south to replenish supplies, and then head west to reach Cikanion in the Duchy of Riguin. Where are you going to disembark?"

Hearing that, Phyllis frowned slightly. Tarusatia city-state is definitely not a good place. He didn’t know anything about that city-state. He rushed to seek assistance from that city-state. He might be arrested directly and transferred to the general city-state. , He wouldn't do this kind of stupid self-assessment.

Therefore, the only place he can go is Cicagnon in the Principality of Liguin. However, according to his knowledge of the Principality of Liguin, the country’s archenemy has always been the Principality of Page. The Sa peninsula marched.

But... Phyllis suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up and he had an idea.
