Chapter 407 Chapter 405: A Strong Pursuit

Abraham was thoughtful.

The cavalry is led by thousands of riders.

We infiltrated some of the cavalry into the Empire and ordered them to discuss the enemy's message.

And I was moving along the border, searching for traces.

The opponent will have to escape to the Empire after all.

A fugitive with limited direction to escape.

It wasn't hard to hunt down.

"Ah... blood... wait a minute..."

Cavalry soldiers were distancing themselves from Abraham.

It was creepy, because Abraham suddenly changed course.

"Hmm? This way!"

Abraham suddenly moved to the left looking in the direction of travel.

The horsemen followed Abraham in a hurry, because there was no pretense or instruction.

But it was worth it, and Abraham and the others came to a clue.

"It's a wagon trail!

"But there shouldn't have been a way out of the border..."

"Only the Empire was aware of the loophole. That's probably why I didn't bother to seal it. Let's go!"

Abraham immediately determined and followed the path of the carriage.

But after a while, Abraham noticed something unusual.

"Have you lost your footprints...?

"Wow!?

Suddenly, Abraham stopped, and so did the cavalry.

It was so sudden that some horses collided and some were shaken down.

But Abraham didn't care about it at all.

"What happened!?

"Don't you see? There's less footprint."

"I'm with the people, no matter what! You must have strayed!

"Don't ever talk again, incompetent."

That's how Abraham skipped the talking soldier's neck.

But I frowned immediately afterwards.

"I sucked your blood... I'm sorry, my dear friend!

Remove the handkerchief and Abraham cleans his magic sword.

And in the meantime, I sorted out my thoughts.

The opponent is divided into two parts.

And on foot with a carriage.

I was late because I had forged my footprints along the way.

I'm used to being chased.

Intuitively, Abraham flipped.

Find the footprints! There must be a split footprint!

"But the carriage is over there."

"The opponent uses the preconception that the princess travels in a carriage! There's a princess on foot!

Will the princess of a country be removed from the carriage and moved on foot?

If you are close to your destination, it is quite a short distance to the main cities in the northern part of the Empire.

The idea that it was almost impossible made all the cavalry, but if they defied it, they would kill them.

Driven by fear, the horsemen desperately searched for footprints.

And then...

"Oh, I found it!

"It's definitely a footprint."

A small number of footprints are heading in a different direction from the carriage.

But it doesn't change that you're heading for the Empire.

"Do you want to divide up your troops...?

"I don't need it. If you miss it, you can follow the carriage again."

"But... if I miss it..."

"You can't escape riding in a carriage. Not to mention we can't run straight away, over there."

That's how Abraham got his horse running.

Driven by anxiety, the cavalry followed.

■ ■ ■

I've been noticed.

"Oh no...."

Mia, who was listening to the ground, woke up.

The cavalry footsteps were on their way.

And quite a few.

I didn't split up the troops.

It's a plan we'll find out about.

Mia dropped Marianne off the carriage and walked another route with a small number of offerings.

The original route is advanced by Imperial soldiers alongside the people.

I was expecting the enemy to divide up their troops, but I didn't expect them to have exactly two choices.

"Whether you're lucky or reading... things are going to change."

Meanwhile, Mia tries to scatter the opponent through the trees so that the horses cannot pass.

But if we move that way, we will never get into the Empire.

Because we cannot go to the Imperial side unless we pass through the forest where we are now.

Soon the search will begin in the woods.

But Mia gave priority to buying time.

"Anyway, I'm going to buy time and look through the gaps and break through the woods."

"Can you...?

"Just do it."

While saying so, Mia exhaled a little.

I'm sorry about Marianne, but Mia was relieved that the enemy didn't chase the people.

No matter how many Imperial soldiers are on guard, there are more chasers.

It was fortunate that helpless people had not been sacrificed, even though they had the intention of changing their targets if they knew that there was no princess.

Not to mention his brothers among the people.

It was a pleasure to be safe.

"Mia... may I say something a little careless?

"Please. What is it?

"Actually... I'm glad we got a chaser here. I thought you were fooling the helpless. I was worried sick."

"... I was thinking the same thing."

"Really... then let's try our best to become friends."

That said, Marianne smiled.

The smile renews Mia's feelings.

I'll make sure this princess gets away with it.

"The chaser is approaching... it's going to be tough, isn't it?

"I'm ready."

"I see. For now, stay low and follow me. There are many places in the woods that horses can't find."

"Mia knows everything...."

"I'm used to being chased."

While saying so, Mia smiles bitterly.

Though used to being chased, Mia would have run away with all of them.

It must have been the idea that I had to drive him back.

But now I've done a little trick.

It's easier to spread the power.

Why did you think that?

Experience in the Empire was alive.

"Even the Empire ran away...."

Mia murmurs small, remembering her experience with the Empire.

It was a desperate situation at the time, but I survived until help came.

Just endure it this time.

The difference was that the person who was waiting for help now came to help.
