Chapter 69 Sir Simon’s Ambition (Part 1)
Seeing Darren Grafson suddenly get into the reeds, the knight from the Fossoway family who was in charge of commanding the Wilder cavalry immediately dispatched six people to hunt him down.
Then he personally led the remaining troops to attack the rear of the White Wall City Ghost Caravan, and the members of the bandit group were immediately attacked from both sides.
In addition, the leader Sir Daeron lost his trace. Soon, except for a few elites around Sir Shalit, the other bandits began to flee in all directions among the reeds.
Darren Grafson followed Rohr through the reeds, and it didn't take long before he got rid of the pursuers behind him who couldn't find their way.
Later, Rohr, who was familiar with Wilder's troop deployment in the reeds, took Dairen around the abandoned fishing village and arrived at a river beach east of the fishing village.
There was a fishing boat on the river bank. Rolle took Dairen and ran onto the fishing boat, then headed towards the north bank.
Of course, Ian couldn't come to rescue Sir Darren himself. He was already working with Wilder and the others in a similar capacity as a 'think tank', so he always stayed in the safest position in the abandoned fishing village.
If he suddenly disappeared, it would inevitably raise many questions.
In contrast, Rohr, who had been sent by Ian to squat outside the reeds, became the most suitable candidate to rescue Sir Daeron.
Next, he only needs to let Rohr control Sir Daeron, and then he can find an opportunity to meet this person as soon as possible.
"You're safe, Sir Daeron." After the fishing boat was about tens of meters away from the shore, Rohr said to the shocked Sir Daeron.
"Thank you, sir." Sir Daeron breathed heavily and thanked him quickly. He did not call Rolle a knight because Rolle was only wearing an ordinary armor at the moment.
This is also Ian's arrangement, so that even if someone from Wilder sees Rohr's figure from a distance, they will not mix him with the squire 'Old Man' who always wears light green full-body plate armor next to Sir Lucian. Dog' link up.
"Sir, you saved my life. You are a warrior. I should make you a knight."
"What you have to thank is my master, who saved you." Rohr directly rejected Darren's kindness.
"Okay, so where is your master, Sir Simon?" Daeron asked immediately, "I have many questions that need him to explain!"
Although he was rescued by Sir Simon's men, they are now in such a mess. Simon, who should have known everything about Wilder's actions, bears the primary responsibility.
Darren thinks he needs to figure out how the Darry bastard brothers screwed up.
"Sir Simon? That traitor? He was the one who betrayed us. He led Wilder and the others to attack the fishing village in advance and killed Sir Aris."
"What did you say? Yaris is dead?!" Darren was startled and took a step back suddenly, almost falling into the water. He staggered several times until Roel helped him. Let him steady himself.
"And didn't you say you were Sir Simon's? Why did you say Simon betrayed us?" Darren asked strangely.
"My master is Sir Ian Rivers, he is the other brother of Sir Aris." Rohr explained.
"I have never heard Aris mention such a younger brother!" The vigilance in Darren's eyes became a little more intense.
"Sir Ian was not born from the mother of Sir Aris and Sir Simon. It was not until half a year ago that Sir Raymond introduced Sir Ian to Sir Aris and the others, but Sir Aris and Sir Simon have always been reluctant to admit this. younger brother."
"Yaris is a proud man. If he is unwilling to recognize Ian River, it only means that his half-brother is a loser." Darren snorted, but then felt his own The remarks were not appropriate. He had just been saved by someone, but as soon as he turned around, he called them trash. This was somewhat out of character.
He wanted to apologize, but his pride as a high-ranking noble prevented him from saying that word to a low-level servant. Fortunately, Rolle did not let him struggle for too long.
"Of course, that was just the beginning. In the subsequent interactions, Sir Aris gradually changed his attitude towards Sir Ian." This sentence falls into the category of Rohr's adaptability. The reason why Ian dared to give such an important task to Rohr was because Rohr's brain was really good.
"Then why didn't Aris tell me about this brother?"
"I don't know, ser." Rolle shook his head. "Perhaps you should discuss these matters with my master yourself."
"Where is your master? Is he waiting for us on the north shore?"
"No, he is avoiding the pursuit of Sir Simon's men. I don't know where he is now, but as long as he gets rid of Simon's pursuers, he will naturally come to the north bank to find us."
"Why did Sir Simon pursue him? And why did Sir Simon betray us?"
"This is a long story. Ser Arys revealed your plan to my master and Ser Simon not long ago."
"Aris swore not to tell anyone." Daeron interrupted Roel.
"Oh, I don't know about that. Anyway, he said it. After all, they are Sir Aris' biological brothers, aren't they?"
Darren nodded helplessly, accepting this explanation.
"Sir Simon expressed strong opposition to the plan at the time and was terrified of the consequences."
"This does seem like Simon's style. His character has always been cowardly. This is why I made Yaris swear not to tell anyone in advance. He still trusts his brother too much. What next?"
"Then Sir Aris successfully persuaded Simon and asked him to agree to continue serving your plan, but no one expected that Sir Simon would betray Sir Aris as soon as he turned around and chose to inform Wilder and the others.
My master speculates that Sir Simon did this in order to gain merit in front of the Iron Throne. After all, as long as Sir Simon personally testifies that Ser Raymond Darry personally led the rebellion, his father and brother will be charged with treason. put to death.
At that time, as a loyal supporter of the Baratheon family who had killed their relatives, King Robert would definitely give him the surname Darry and let him inherit the city of Darry. "
"Bastard!" Sir Daeron yelled angrily on the spot.
"In this way, my master has naturally become a thorn in Sir Simon's side. So he asked me to rescue you for another important purpose. He needs your help."
"But. I have lost my cavalry. I don't know what else I can do to help him?" Darren's words suddenly flickered. Although he kept saying thanks and saving his life, Rohr really asked. When he helped with something, his first reaction was to refuse.
