"Yes, if I were in Kutu City, I wouldn't dare to use all my strength. I would have to leave some strength to make it easier to escape."
Standing there, Chen Heng thought for a moment, and then he suddenly realized.
Durano is a knight from the Kingdom of Aulis and has close ties with the royal family of the Kingdom of Aulis. His visit to Kutu to participate in this trial competition was suspected to be the work of Prince Gris.
To Orliman, this is undoubtedly an enemy.
For Durano, entering the city of Kutu was undoubtedly like entering a den of thieves. How could he dare to do it without reservation?
Putting yourself in Chen Heng's shoes, if he were in his position, he would probably have to hide his weaknesses and keep some strength to deal with possible dangers.
From this perspective, the opponent's strength may not be as simple as it appears on the surface.
The reason why he surrendered might not be because he was physically exhausted, but because he knew he could not defeat Chen Heng and was afraid of wasting too much strength, so he surrendered voluntarily.
In the blink of an eye, many thoughts flashed through Chen Heng's mind, passing through his mind one by one.
"Are you going to tell Olliman?"
Standing there, he thought for a while, and finally moved and walked towards the direction where Orliman was.
No matter what, Oliman is now in the same camp as Chen Heng. If he is cheated by others by accident, it will also affect Chen Heng's own development.
As long as it does not affect himself, Chen Heng is still willing to do his best to help Orliman.
But he seemed to be a little late.
"Have the Senbang Knights set out yet?"
Looking at Orliman, Chen Heng's face was somewhat stunned.
Orliman's movements were faster than he had imagined.
In just a short while, she completed most of the deployment and prepared Senbang to intercept.
"I know the problem you're talking about."
Regarding the possibility raised by Chen Heng, Oliman just nodded, indicating that he understood clearly: "I have also thought about this possibility."
"But what about this?"
A sneer flashed across her face. “No matter what, he had a great battle with you and his strength has been greatly depleted. This is an indisputable fact.”
"Even if he retains a little strength now, he may not be able to defeat Senbang."
"What's more, there are still five hundred guards."
Hearing this, Chen Heng's heart moved.
It seemed that this time, Orliman not only sent out the last knight beside him, but also let him take away five hundred elite guards.
Five hundred well-trained and well-equipped elite guards, plus a knight, such a combination would be difficult even for Chen Heng himself.
There should n't be any problem dealing with Durano, who is currently in a weak period and not as strong as before .
Thinking of this, Chen Heng nodded secretly and didn't say anything more.
"alright."
In front of him, Oliman yawned, her posture seemed a little lazy, with a kind of charming charm.
"Just right, now Senbang has left."
Looking at Chen Heng, she said softly, "While he is away, you should stay by my side in his place."
As a local lord, Orliman naturally cares a lot about his own safety.
In the past
Now that Senbang has left, Chen Heng is the perfect person to take his place.
Chen Heng did not hesitate at all. He placed one hand on his chest and bowed: "I am willing to serve you."
"correct."
Looking at Chen Heng, Oliman remembered something and continued, "Come to think of it, I wanted to reward you and give you a piece of territory long before, but I never had the chance."
"Now that you've won the Trial Competition, you have a reason."
According to past practice, the champion of the trial competition can receive generous rewards.
Orliman used this reason to reward Chen Heng, and no one could find fault with it.
"I will make you the Earl of Nadeau, but it's hard to choose the territory."
Olliman then spoke.
The nobles' desire for territory is difficult for ordinary people to imagine.
All suitable land in the country has already been owned.
It is impossible for Orliman to deprive other lords of their land and transfer it to Chen Heng just for Chen Heng.
it's out of the question.
Therefore, Chen Heng's territory was destined to be located in some more remote places.
"No problem."
Chen Heng bowed slightly, and it seemed that he was very open-minded about this matter: "If there is no suitable place, just seal me in the Suoda area."
"Soda? You're going to the North?"
Listening to Chen Heng's words, Oliman was stunned .
"Isn't Your Highness already prepared to issue a development order, calling on everyone to head to the North?"
Chen Heng bowed and said softly: "At this time, sealing my territory there is just the right response and can serve as a call for action."
"so……"
Olliman was silent for a long while before nodding: "It's just that I feel a little sorry for you."
"No problem."
Chen Heng smiled and said, "As long as I can help Your Highness."
Hearing this, Orliman couldn't help but look up at him and sighed deeply in his heart.
After the trial competition ended, time passed slowly.
Staying with Orliman, three days passed by unknowingly.
Three days later, news finally came from the Senbang Knights.
Prior to this, he had followed Orliman's orders and set up an ambush in the direction Durano left, hoping to keep Durano completely.
After all the arrangements, the final harvest was very little.
"Durano, he didn't come alone. There is a team covering his departure."
In front of Orliman, Senbang's face turned pale and he explained, "That's someone from the Touch of Shadow. He was commissioned by others to protect Durano."
"Except for the beginning, I stopped him several times and failed to keep him."
This operation was undoubtedly a failure.
Just as Chen Heng thought, Durano and Prince Gris were not fools. Since they dared to come to Kutu City, they were sure they could leave.
Sure enough, this time the Senbang Knight’s pursuit failed.
Even looking at the current situation, if he was not with an army, he might have been ambushed and left behind.
Listening to Senbang's story, Orliman was silent for a long time. In the end, he said nothing, but just waved his hand and let Senbang leave.
Standing next to Oliman, Chen Heng raised his head and could clearly see Oliman's ugly expression at the moment.
He sighed silently in his heart, but said nothing. He just stood there silently, guarding her side.
