6 min read1,398 words
The horse convoy carrying passengers was moving forward on the bumpy gravel
road. The main link between the Westwind Kingdom and Wilga was fairly smooth,
and the convoys that had passed by over the years had deep dents.
The shock absorption effect of the carriages of this era is not very good, and
the roads are not very smooth, so the passengers in the carriages are a little
wobbly along the way.
After the initial freshness, the passengers in the car also began to get
drowsy, some closed their eyes and rested, and some simply leaned on their
seats and snored.
Lorrain Hill lowered his head and looked at a long letter in his hand, which
was sent by a silver-winged warbler from a rabbit in the Tiziran Mountains,
reporting some daily conditions in the mountains recently.
The silver-winged warbler is a monster of the original Sequence 2. It is small
in size and has gray feathers. The edges of the wings become metallic silver.
This kind of bird flies extremely fast and is small in size. It is not easy to
be found. It serves as a messenger. It could not be better.
Before leaving, she taught Kanda some military formation techniques and
military strategy knowledge, hoping to train a group of officers. After that,
if it is not the busy season of farming, let the rabbits organize military
training, as long as they are adult rabbit ears, they will take turns to
participate.
Let every rabbit have basic military literacy, no longer run around in danger,
which made Lorrain Hill a lot of work.
Sometimes they will find some sequence 3 gray-bone violent apes as their
sparring opponents. This kind of beast has thick skin, hard to enter swords,
and great strength. It is an excellent target for actual combat exercises.
After reading the progress of the various plans recently, Lorrain Hill
collected the letter and put it in the pocket lined with the robe.
At present, everyone’s training atmosphere is very high. Perhaps it is because
of adequate food and better life. The courage of the rabbit ears is much
greater than before. Some have begun to take the initiative to participate in
training, saying that they will join the legion. The current military strength
of the Tiziran Mountains is still the guards of various cities, and a small
number of monsters. The large army is actually only in preparation.
While Lorraine Hill was still thinking about what style of legion to form, the
carriage stopped suddenly, and there was an exclamation and noise in front of
him.
"It's not good, something happened ahead and many people died." A big man in
the car in front ran over, opened the door, and shouted loudly.
The people in the car were a little flustered and got out of the car one after
another.
Five horse convoys carrying passengers stopped on the side of the road. Many
passengers had already got off, and a group of people gathered in front.
Lorrain Hill also walked over curiously, and heard a burst of noise.
"Everyone, listen to me, we should return as soon as possible, and go with the
caravan in a few days. It is too dangerous to continue walking."
"It's not that serious. These people who died are probably vendettas, not
robbers who robbed the way. Look at the iron armor that those guards wear,
ordinary robbers can't beat them."
There were 7 carriages burning across the road in front of them, and the
carriages were full of arrows, like hedgehogs. There were more than 20 dead
guards lying beside the road, most of them were shot dead by arrows, and a few
were killed with swords after resisting, and no one was left alive.
The flames on the carriages have not been completely extinguished, emitting
blue smoke, some of the burned structures are carbonized into black, and they
collapse from time to time with crackling noises, and there is also a
scorching smell in the air.
"It's really not like the robbers did it. They didn't leave a living, and they
burned all the carriages to destroy the evidence. The robbers would not be so
wasteful. Moreover, the burning of a car is too conspicuous. This road is a
trade channel between the two countries. , There will always be troops to
clean up the surrounding robbers."
The black-haired young man opposite Lorrain Hill before, calmly analyzed from
the side. Although the voice was not loud, it was still keenly heard by the
girl.
is indeed not a robber. The girl looked at the dead guards in front of her.
Several of them were Sequence 2 masters, and ordinary robbers would definitely
not be able to defeat it.
"Look, everyone, there is a sign of the Carrites Chamber of Commerce here."
A middle-aged man yelled, and then everyone gathered around, only to find that
under one of the overturned carriages, there was a pattern of lacquer night
flowers on the other side that was not burned.
The Calites Chamber of Commerce is a well-known large chamber of commerce in
Wilga. Although it has only been in existence for more than a decade, it has
expanded very rapidly in recent years. It mainly deals in cotton spinning,
citrus, fur, wood, and shipbuilding. Exclusive logo of the Calites Chamber of
Commerce
"Tsk, if you dare to attack the Calites Chamber of Commerce, you are not
afraid of revenge? I heard that the Calites Chamber of Commerce has several
fleets, and they are equipped with artillery."
"Who knows, maybe the leader of Calithes died here this time. I will say
whether Calites will exist in the future."
"No way, isn't Angus, the boss of the Calides Chamber of Commerce, how could
he die here?"
"This is not necessarily true. I saw him appear in Seabuckthorn City a few
days ago."
"True or false, if he really died here, then this would really be a big deal."
After hearing this, the people present were also a little scared, turning over
the corpses one by one, checking and confirming.
After a while, it was confirmed that there was no Angus body in it.
"It’s okay if you don’t have it~www.mtlnovel.com~ It’s really bad luck. If
Angus really dies here and conflicts arise between the two countries, we will
be scapegoats."
A group of people are a little scared, and finally decided to go back the same
way and report the situation with the Westwind Kingdom as soon as possible.
The Calites Chamber of Commerce has been engaged in trade between the two
countries all year round and has a very wide network of contacts.
Lorrain Hill looked at the messy scene in front of him, and noticed that there
were drops of blood on the blades of grass on the edge of the road, spreading
to the distance, but these drops of blood were very small and they were far
apart from each other, so other No one noticed it.
Taking advantage of other people's attention, she slowly left the large group,
and then it didn't take long for these passengers to get back on the same road
in the carriage.
Following these drops of blood, Lorrain Hill walked for a while, and then the
clue was broken.
She looked at this piece of grass with obvious traces of stepping, guessing
that the injured person should have bandaged the wound and then flew away.
There are not many people with extraordinary flying abilities, and most of
them rely on props to achieve it.
But even if it is bandaged, it can't hide from Lorrain Hill.
In front of the master of the Demon Sequence, the faint smell of blood in the
air is so obvious.
Lorrain Hill was no longer hiding at this time. He quickly walked through the
mountains and forests, his black robes turned in the wind, but there was no
sound, and it was silent like a ghost.
After traveling three or four kilometers, her footsteps slowly stopped, and
there was a small conversation behind the rock in front of her.
"Master, is it better?"
"I'm afraid it won't be better, Seres, let me down."
Then there were waves of coughing up blood, even though the voice was a little
hoarse, but Lorrain Hill couldn't remember it wrong, it was Angus who talked
to her the other day.
