It had only been one day, even if the night was added up, the Duke still felt that Lorne's appearance was a bit incredible.
But John was very sure that the other party must be Lorne.
Apart from Baron Fast, it was impossible for any army to appear here.
Because he is very clear about the power of both the Northern Territory and the Duke of the Sea.
And after using Lorne's modified horse, he also had reason to believe in the Fast family's ability to forcefully march.
The more than three hundred war horses given to him by Lorne also proved their worth after tonight's test.
For a potential ally like Lorne, John did not want the Duke of Stuart to force him away.
"It must be Lorne Fast.
In terms of the military, his Fast family does have advantages that others cannot match.
I have convinced him, and with his help, I can use the fastest method after returning to the North.
Solve the dissatisfied lords as quickly as possible."
He reminded the Stuart Duke that Lorne was of some use to him, but after the Duke nodded superficially and let John leave first, he failed to follow his promise and try not to have a direct conflict with Lorne.
Just when he hung up the body of the Northern Archduke, preparing to use it to scare Lorne so that he could defeat the bastard in one fell swoop, the scout who had left earlier came to his side again.
"Sir, that army suddenly changed its lane.
They seem to want to bypass us."
They were all ready to give Lorne a heavy punch, but before he could punch him, the opponent came in front of him and patted his butt as if he hadn't noticed him at all.
His arrogant attitude succeeded in irritating the Duke, and he ordered the scouts.
"Didn't you just say that they were heading straight in our direction?
Forget it, bring me some people to trap them.
I want to capture that bastard of the Fast family alive."
There was a time when the Duke paid great attention to his family's reputation.
He could even give up his daughter in order to save the face of the Stuart family.
But after being forced by Keira to board His Majesty the Pope's broken ship, the Duke of the Sea no longer cared about those false things.
Originally, he was a dirty capital owner, and it was the Duke's true face to go back on his word.
Instead of taking advantage of the situation and breaking away from the battle with Lorne's army, he took the initiative to get involved.
And of course Lorne, who had not had a good night's rest, would not fight against the large forces of the Stuart family.
From the beginning, his goal was not to go against the Duke of the Sea.
Going straight to the Duke's position was just Duke Stuart's illusion.
Because Lorne has always been heading towards the modified person he sensed, but he is not good at learning.
Although the sensing distance has improved, Baron Fast cannot distinguish the difference between the modified horse and the modified person. .
The only one who can do this is Meatball.
Even the scammers couldn't figure out whether their companions were humans or animals from such a long distance.
But from the other party's behavior pattern, Lorne discovered something strange.
If it was really the reformers sent by Sophia to contact him, then even if there were obstacles, they would not be able to retreat on their own due to the characteristics of the reformers.
The soldiers blocking him were also strange.
Lorne recognized them as soldiers of the Stuart family.
Meeting someone from the Stuart family here is certainly not good news.
Lorne didn't know how they sneaked up behind him, and he was even more uninterested in letting his tired cyborg fight with each other.
What's more, the transformed person he sensed has also changed his direction, so there is no reason to fight against the enemies who are gradually gathering.
Relying on the connection between the modified people, nearly two thousand troops passed through the Stuart family's scout group at an incredible angle.
Not to mention the Stuarts who couldn't believe it, even the knights of the Habsburg family who were following the reformers were a little confused as to how Lorne was able to command him like an arm in the dark.
Because they were relatively close to Lorne, they didn't hear any special orders from Baron Fast.
If they hadn't been surrounded by the Fast family warriors around them, they wouldn't have known that Lorne actually gave the order to turn. .
"Your Excellency Baron, there are a lot of Stuart family scouts gathered here.
There must be Stuart family troops inside.

Why don't we go and investigate?"
He asked loudly to Lorne who was running in front.
It can be regarded as a small miracle that the knights of the Habs family can follow him until now.
But their number was less than ten, and the others who couldn't keep up were naturally abandoned by Lorne.
As for the knight's question, Lorne didn't even bother to answer it.
Precisely because the opposite side was likely to be the Stuart family's army, he took the initiative to avoid it.
And to figure out what the other party is doing, you don't necessarily have to fight with them at the risk of your life.
You just need to catch up with the transformed people and you can figure everything out.
It's just that although Lorne let the Stuart family go, those guys were not willing to let Lorne leave like this.
Following closely behind them, the modified horse, which consumed a lot of horsepower, was still unable to distance itself from them.
It is estimated that after this long-distance run is over, even the modified horses will need to be returned to the belly of the meat ball for repair before they can continue to be used.
Even the modified horses suffered some problems during the pursuit of the Stuart family. loss.
And after paying so much price, if Lorne knew that he had the wrong partner, it might not be as simple as heartache.
But compared to John's innocence, what happened to him can only be regarded as deserved.
Baron Carter, who poisoned his father to death and was about to become the Grand Duke of the North, tried not to think about his father's last look in his eyes.
He focused all his energy on how to perfect his plan.
But not long after leaving Duke Stuart, there was the faint sound of horse hooves behind him.
Thinking that the Duke of the Sea had something important that he had not explained clearly to him, John took the initiative to stop and wait for him.
But as the other party got closer and closer, John noticed something was wrong.
As a northern noble, judging the approximate number of opponents from the sound of horse hooves is a necessary skill for a qualified lord.
There were rumbling vibrations, and it was obvious that there were a lot of people coming.
With the strength of the Stuart family, this is actually nothing.
The problem was that when he left, Lorne was approaching the Duke, and in order to capture the escaped Duke of the North, the Duke of the Sea only led more than 5,000 people.
Judging by the frequency of the vibrations, John was very sure that the number of troops chasing him was at least two to three thousand.
If the Duke of Stuart brought two or three thousand men to chase him, then who would be resisting the approaching Lorne:
