But just accepting it like this would be a bit too ugly.
Castoff is rude and Lorne is a noble from the civilized world.
Just by looking at Castev's appearance and pretending to refuse, this guy might take it seriously.
Baron Fast, who often did some beastly things secretly, actually thought about how to openly share his wife with the Pirate King, pretending to be embarrassed, he told Castoff.
"Mr.
King, the rules of your ancestral land are really very different from those of our empire, but these things should wait until I help you catch Miss Stuart.
Our problem now is how to escape from here."
Neither accepting nor rejecting, if Castev was true to his word, this guy would naturally send the tied Athena to Lorne's bed.
Thinking that whether Miss Stuart successfully escaped back to the empire or was caught by Castev, there would be no good end, the corners of the Baron's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
But now they are indeed not out of danger.
If they can't escape the wizard's pursuit by walking along the coast as the Pirate King said, then Lorne feels that it would be safer to act separately from Casteff.
But in this way, it would be impossible to bring endless humiliation to the girl in front of Athena.
It's a pity, but fortunately Castev did not disappoint Lorne.
Using Athena as bait is just a safer way that the Pirate King thinks.
He has another idea.
"Little brother is right, we must save our lives first before we can enjoy more beauties."
Men are all the same, and Casteff's words suit Lorne's taste, "If no one helps us attract the wizard's attention If we don't have enough power, we can't go directly along the coast.
Come, little brother, let me show you where we are. " He held a torch in one hand and gestured left and right on the ground with a wooden stick in the other hand.
Although Casteff had no talent for painting, Lorne knew that this guy was drawing the general topography of the Heretic Island.
Pointing to the twisted lines, he said: "Our current location is here.
This is the territory of the so-called Destroyer.
From here, it only takes about six days along the coast to reach the territory of Glory City."
Six days is actually not too much at all.
From the position of Castev Point, Lorne also feels that they are not far from the sphere of influence of Glory City.
The problem is how to ensure that you won't encounter the wizard's army within six days.
If no one knows, maybe you can sneak past.
Having been exposed, Lorne didn't think they could go that smoothly.
Sure enough, Castev thought so too.
"But the closer we get to the sphere of influence of Glory City, the denser the army here becomes.
Once the news reaches the border, the wizard's army will definitely be prepared.
If we go there, we will probably be caught by them directly. " Pointing in another direction, Castev continued: "So we can't go directly to the coast, and there is an inland river here.
Although it is not directly connected to Brilliant City's sphere of influence, it is precisely because of this that they would not have thought that we would take a detour here.
Once ashore, we would be safe once we crossed the border. " Castev did not say how to cross the border, but according to inertial thinking, as long as the wizards believe that they will escape from the coast to Brilliant City, the inland far away from the coast will definitely be more relaxed.
At that time, maybe we can actually cross the border directly as Castev said.
Of course, you must also pay attention to concealment.
If you are discovered, you will not be able to escape from the wizard's clutches if you go inland.
He didn't know what the place he was in was like, but Lorne believed that the Pirate King would not take any risks.
He felt that it was safer to go this way, and the Baron naturally could not offer any more opinions.
What's more, according to Castev's calculations, even though it took a little detour, he could still enter Glory City's sphere of influence within ten days.
Such a little time passed by just gritting one's teeth.
Optimistically, Lorne agreed to Kastev's suggestion.
But maybe it’s because he’s done too many beastly things, but Baron Fast’s luck doesn’t seem to be very good.
As soon as they turned into the inland river and before they could hide, they encountered several natives on horseback.
"No, it's an army spy.
We were discovered."

Following Casteff's reminder, Lorne also discovered the riders on the shore.
In terms of clothing, they were much more standardized than the guys killed last night.
At least the styles of the clothes were very uniform.
Lorn was also shocked when he heard Castev say that they were scouts.
The presence of scouts naturally means the presence of an army.
Regardless of the number of opponents, Castev's plan to bypass the inland river has been ruined.
And from the actions of those few scouts following them, the Baron had no doubt that the wizard's army was approaching them.
There are only a few small broken boats with less than a hundred men.
Of course, Lorne will not be arrogant enough to think that they can defeat the opponent's army one after another.
"Look back" Needless to say, Lorne was already turning the boat around.
Athena even commanded her men to use bows and arrows to knock down the scouts who were following them, but unfortunately they were not fools.
After knowing that they were exposed, these guys just followed from a distance.
Not to mention that ordinary bows and arrows could not hit them.
Even the spear thrown by Arnold could only act as a deterrent.
"Didn't you say it's safe to walk along the inland river?
Why are there scouts here?"
Miss Stuart would naturally not be on the same boat as the pirates.
After rescuing the trapped crew members, the number of Athena's group had exceeded that of the Pirate King.
Kastev shouted from the air, and the eldest lady felt that she was stupid for agreeing to walk on the inland river.
But Athena didn't know the way.
The crew members she rescued might know some general terrain, but they were certainly not as familiar with Wizard Island as Castev, who often came to rob it.
The Pirate King proposed, and Baron Fast seconded it, so Athena would naturally have no reason to refuse.
Now that there is a problem, it is certainly reasonable to take action on them.
"There are no big cities along the river.
Normally, it is impossible for the army to appear.
Moreover, we only grabbed the boat not long ago, how could they react so quickly?
Something must have happened that we don’t know about.”
In addition to robbing on the coast, following the inland river into the hinterland of the Wizarding Territory is also a way for wasteland pirates to make a fortune.
All Castev was very sure, but the final conclusion was a little unsatisfactory.
However, what the Pirate King said is not wrong.
Except for the large number of troops at the border, there are not many standing armies in other places in the Wizarding Territory, so this is also the favorite place for pirates to rob.
Now that they suddenly encountered an army scout, the abnormal situation was naturally due to some accident that they didn't know about
