Although Cross and his party had six horses, only five of them were manned, and the remaining one was carrying a little dry food and water. Of course, it wasn't because there really had to be a special horse to carry these things, it was Gawain who caused this.

Gawain couldn't ride a horse and yelled that he wanted to ride the same horse as Cross, and Cross didn't want anyone to be left behind, so he reluctantly agreed to Gawain's request.

Thanks to the addition of the lively Tina, there was a lot of laughter along the way, and Gawain was finally no longer the one who talked the most.

It's just that all of Tina's topics are related to Cross. One would ask Cross about his age, and the other he would be curious about what type of girl Cross liked, and even openly ask Cross if he was a virgin... Man. Her question caused everyone to laugh, except, of course, the person who was asked.

It's not that Cross didn't laugh because he thought the question was embarrassing, he just ignored it in the first place, he didn't like to make noise, he thought it would calm down Tina. He never expected that Tina's questions would be answered by Gawain, including that place... Male question.

"Cross turned out to be a virgin...... Man?" said Tina, with a look of disbelief.

"What's so strange about this, I'm also here... Man. Gawain replied dismissively.

"You're a place... It's not strange that the man is not strange at all, but Cross is so handsome and the eldest son of the earl, there must be a bunch of girls lining up to fight him... Bed bar. ”

"Hahaha......"

There was another burst of laughter, but this time there were two people who didn't, one of them was Gawain, who was obviously struck by Tina's words, and the other was Nia, who felt that Tina must have misunderstood the girl.

"Tina. Cross spoke in a serious tone.

"Cross, what's wrong?"

"You're going to call me Lord Cross from now on. ”

"I see, you like to hear that, all right, Lord Cross. ”

"Any idea why I was laughing just now?"

"Hmm...... I don't know. ”

"I appreciate your outspokenness. ”

"Really...... But the way you speak now is a little scary, ferocious......"

"I'm like this because I'm angry. Your topic is someone else I don't care, but don't be me. ”

"Hmm...... Well, then I won't talk about that in the future. ”

"I didn't stop you from telling the truth, I just hope that you can make a judgment after you know something about me, not an illusory conjecture. ”

"Hypothetical...... Want to ......"

Suddenly, Tina fell off her horse clutching her forehead.

Nia was the first to jump off the horse and helped Tina up, "Tina, are you alright?"

"Head...... It hurts ......."

"Nia, let her ride a horse with you. ”

"Won't you let Tina rest?" she said, with a headache and a very uncomfortable look. ”

"Nia, we can't waste any more time, in case Coppermountain is slaughtered by the Seattas, we're going to start from scratch. ”

"Good ......"

......

After Tina became unwell, Cross's group was quieter for the rest of the journey, and Gawain didn't talk as much as before, probably because he was frightened by Cross's serious and somewhat vicious expression.

Due to the rough mountain road, it took about 10 days for Cross and his family to arrive in Copperhill.

"After the mountain in front, you can see the town of Tongshan. ”

"Lord Cross, thanks to you, we were able to reach Copperhill before the food was completely consumed. I didn't expect you to be so familiar with geography. Lancelot praised heartily.

"Actually, there is a big road, much faster than the one we are taking. ”

"Oh, then why not go that way?"

"yes, why don't you go that way?" Gawain was also curious.

"The trail is relatively secluded, and I don't want to run into any enemies along the way. ”

"I didn't expect Your Excellency to be so cautious at such a young age. It was an old alchemist who spoke as the kind of man who didn't like to talk and didn't know how to get sociable, and that was the first thing he said on his trip.

"I'm just scared of death. By the way, Nia, Tina is a little better. ”

Nia shook her head, "I didn't eat today, I just drank some water." ”

Cross sighed, "Keep going, and rest when you get to the top of the mountain." ”

......

However, as the team entered the mountain ahead, Nia suddenly noticed something unusual, "Something?"

"What's wrong? ”

"I seem to hear footsteps, a lot of them. ”

"Nia, are you mistaken, how can there be so many footsteps in such deep mountains and wild forests. Gawain clearly didn't trust Nia's hearing.

"Don't speak, everyone dismount, let Nia listen carefully. Cross is very careful, he really doesn't want to run into enemies, but it's always right to be careful, it's better to spot enemies in advance than to be discovered.

Nia carefully placed Tina on the ground, then used her sensitive ears to catch the sounds of the forest.

The beast's ears that captured the sound moved, and it was clear that Nia was working very hard.

"In that direction. Nia stretched out her hand to the right.

Cross looked in the direction Nia was pointing, "Northwest...... Can you calculate the distance?"

Nia shook her head.

"How many people can be calculated?"

"More than a hundred, probably not human, they have light steps and a high frequency. ”

"What do you think?"

Nia shook her head again.

After everyone was silent for a while, Gawain took the lead in asking, "Cross, you speak, why don't you speak at this time." ”

"Don't make a noise, Gawain. Nia knew that Gawain was nervous right now, but no matter how nervous she was, she couldn't say that about Cross, not even a good friend.

And Cross's thinking did not stop, and finally, he made a rough judgment based on the information provided by Nia, "They are likely to be Seajarda's troops, and their destination is Copper Mountain Town." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"That'...... What should we do?" the timid Gao Wen was already so frightened just by hearing the Siyada troops that he began to tremble even when he spoke, he may have planned to abandon Copper Mountain Town and prepare to take refuge elsewhere.

As for the others, they are also waiting for a reply from Cross.

Cross looked serious on the surface, but he was full of joy inside, and he wished that Seada's troops would be able to attack Copperhill.
