Wizard Immortal

Chapter 54 Departure

In the empty room, an arm hung limply at its side, having left Adir's shoulder.

A life was lost.

Feeling all of this, Adir raised his head and looked at the corpse in front of him.

Count Polia's corpse was deformed, now covered in black and red blisters, and his body was bloated and ugly.

Dark red blood kept seeping from the surface of the corpse, wetting its clothes and making it look extremely horrifying.

Seeing this, Adir sighed and silently stood up.

He glanced at the room, imprinted the scene in his mind, and then left without hesitation, heading towards the main door.

As they passed through the gate, Elwar and the others were already waiting there, and they were all somewhat silent.

Adir glanced around.

Knight Fular stood there quietly, somewhat silent, his expression carrying the rigidity and seriousness of the past, yet also revealing a hint of sorrow. Elva, standing beside him, had red and swollen eyes, clearly having just cried.

They didn't ask about Count Polya's situation, clearly having already guessed the final outcome.

Let's go!

Seeing their expressions, Adir shook his head and spoke first: "The castle is no longer safe. We must leave here immediately."

"Where do we go after leaving the castle?" Elva suddenly interjected, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Go to the Kingdom of Guno in the south. We also have people there who can guarantee our safety and livelihood."

Hearing Elvar's words, Fular chimed in, seemingly already having plans for the upcoming journey.

Having made their decision, the group quickly left the mansion and walked out.

Not long after the rebellion began, Akadilla and his men launched a surprise attack on the castle, but they only managed to capture the outer perimeter; they were still some distance from actually taking control of the castle.

While still having some control over the troops in the castle, Fular, carrying Count Poria's orders, summoned a portion of the elite guard, quickly packed up some supplies, and left.

···········

"Let's go..."

From a distance, Elva looked back at the castle with reluctance, and after a long while, he said helplessly.

Beside him, Adir, covered in blood, sat on a black horse, emanating a strong smell of blood.

These are traces left from the previous breakout from the castle.

The castle was already surrounded. When he left earlier, Adir charged directly into the enemy army, broke through the troops attacking the city gate by himself, and led Elwa and the others to escape.

Behind Adir, the knight Fular rode alongside, patrolling the area and leading his men to search the surroundings.

There were some soldiers slowly advancing around them. Although there were only three or four hundred of them, they were the most elite troops under Count Poria, and each of them was an absolutely elite warrior.

With these elite warriors, the assistance of Fular, a top-tier knight, and the vast wealth brought from the castle, Elwa's status and livelihood were assured.

If Adir is able to embark on the path of a wizard in the future, with his guidance and the integration of the Fakus family's existing influence in other kingdoms, the foundation of a large family will be laid, and it may not necessarily decline.

"We're about to leave our original directly controlled territory."

Fular rode up to Adir and said, "Although the area ahead is still part of the North, it is now the territory of other nobles, and we may encounter some unexpected situations."

"Since the Akadilla and their people have chosen to attack us, there's no reason they would let go of the other noble territories. They should all be engulfed in war by now."

He analyzed it calmly.

Adir nodded in agreement.

To prevent any accidents, after the group rested for a while, Fular took some cavalry out to patrol again and scout out the surrounding terrain.

The next day, the unexpected began to happen.

In the territory of a minor noble, they discovered the group of other nobles and were very excited to see Elva and her party, so they asked to join them.

After some questioning, Adir and the others finally understood the reason.

It turned out that several days earlier, the entire northern lands had been attacked by an army. It seemed as if the major kingdoms in the north had made a pact to send troops to attack the territories of their respective lords.

During this period, the Northlands were in a weakened state. The armies of the various lords had just been mobilized to participate in the war against the orcs and had not yet recovered their strength when they were attacked.

"That traitor Akadira, on the surface he's fighting the orcs, but in reality he's deliberately sending our army to their deaths, all for the sake of this situation!!!" An unknown nobleman brought the news and angrily cursed in front of Adir and the others.

In the previous orc war, Akadira deliberately betrayed the noble alliance of the Northlands, sending large numbers of noble troops to their deaths, including the nobles themselves, with only a very small number surviving.

In fact, when Adir looks back on that battle now, it does feel very strange.

As a member of the Fakus family with wizarding qualifications, he should have been well protected even if he was sent to the battlefield. Why would he be deliberately sent to the front line to participate in the fiercest fighting?

Of course, there's no point in dwelling on this now.

Before them stood a large number of nobles who had lost their territories and were preparing to evacuate. Upon seeing Elva, they asked to join their ranks.

After discussing it for a while, Adir and Fular decided to accept these people.

Although these nobles in front of me are in dire straits, they were basically all vassals of the Fakus family in the past, either members of the Fakus family or relatives by marriage, so their loyalty is somewhat guaranteed.

Moreover, although these people have lost their territory, they still possess considerable strength. If they are taken in, their power can be expanded and their influence increased.

The only potential problem is that if the number of nobles accepted increases, the composition of the team will become more complex, and the speed of travel will slow down considerably.

Adir and Fular thought about these questions for a long time before finally giving up their hesitation.

Accepting these nobles may cause some trouble, but Adir and Fular are strong enough to suppress these internal problems.

Moreover, the North is currently in complete chaos, and the forces that invaded the North are busy seizing territory. Whether it is the forces of Arcadilla or other kingdoms, they probably don't have time to send people to hunt them down for the time being.

Even in Adir's view, those people probably wished for Elwa and the others to leave, so the possibility of them sending people to stop them was not very high.
