Maury Stevenson was worried by the naïve idea that the Black Iron Dwarves would be cut off from the east by sending troops to block Loya Road.

"The Sword Master's Port is very important to Eastern Cyprus, Clay, you pass on my original words to the Imperial Light City, in addition, you should send a scout team to the west to see, the 200,000 army will not all be killed, and the residents of Western Cyprus to see if they can migrate some to the east, they are all subjects of the empire. Baron Maury made his final statement.

Clay hesitated.

Maury stood up, didn't bother to look at him again, and said lightly, "If you don't want to go back with nothing, do as I say." ”

Baron Maury was furious, and wondered what he was hesitating, but he should be puzzled by the fact that he was the one who had no idea about the situation at the front and had to wipe his ass afterwards.

Half a month later, the edict for the promotion of the knighthood was delivered by the raven to Yanjing Town.

Also arriving were the territorial documents of the Sword Master's Harbor and the right to mobilize the legions of the entire Northwest.

On this day, Clay sent out his knight scouts, crossing the Blackstone Fortress, which was being rebuilt, and headed west on Loya Avenue.

Maury, who was re-promoted to duke, felt that it was a little late, but he did not refuse, and immediately ordered to gather the legions, he would personally go to the Blackstone Fortress to sit on Loa Avenue, and the steam guardian Augusta was promoted to the captain of the Warden Legion by Mauriyo, and his task was to take over the sword master port of the Lion Ying family, and open up a stable supply line, of course, recruiting manpower is also necessary.

For a time, the news that the two big men in Yanjing Town were reused and were going to leave spread all over the town.

And Carlos, the youngest son of Duke Murray, became the last person to learn the news.

Carlos stared at the catalyst in front of him for a long time, remembering the violent reaction in the final alchemy furnace yesterday, which almost caused an explosion, and he took the catalyst and carefully poured it into the reaction.

"Pay attention to the dose. Du Buyi reminded.

Of course, Carlos was very skilled in lower-than-basic medicine, and as his little hand smoothly added the catalyst, the inky black mist potion and the red catalyst quickly fused together, gradually forming a black-brown liquid.

The solution in the container, glowing amazingly.

Carlos hurriedly took the special quill and the blank scroll that had been prepared.

According to the geometric symbols in memory, the fused liquid is dipped in the pen on the scroll, and the writing is slow.

Carlos's hand is very steady, the handwriting is also very neat, when he is drawing, he holds his breath and breathes, holds the pen steadily, and soon there are three small circles and several semi-triangular scrolls in a large circle, and the drawing is very standardized.

"Pay attention to every character. Du Buyi stood behind Carlos, his eyes showing relief, "You can see clearly, before the pen and ink dry, all the characters must be prepared to be written, otherwise the scroll production will still fail." ”

Fearing that the ink would dry too quickly, Carlos quickly took the quill and dipped it into the liquid again, recalling the sequence of characters in the Mist Scroll.

After slowly putting down the pen, I quickly wrote on the four corners of the geometric pattern of the scroll in one go.

After writing it, he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he checked it and found that the ink of the geometric pattern fusion mist potion had not completely dried up, this was the second alchemy formation he could be familiar with in this time.

And this time, it is directly displayed in the form of a scroll.

The old alchemist Du Buyi was pleased with Carlos' progress.

But in terms of talent, Carlos was the best he had ever seen in introductory alchemy, and as his teacher, Du Buyi also had a look of pride on his face.

There was a knock on the closed door, and it was obvious that someone was pounding on the door in a hurry, and the wooden door was knocked on with a banging sound.

Carlos ran from the basement to the first floor and led the anxious eldest brother De Ligt into the house, followed by several night watchmen with solemn faces.

"What's going on?"

Carlos saw a hint of urgency in De Ligt's eyes, and found that he was wearing a rare suit of armor, which shone with a silver-gray light, reflecting De Ligt's resolute face even more heroically.

De Ligt didn't leave his brother Carlos confused for long, and he ordered a few night watchmen to carry a few boxes into the house.

"My father has reinstated his dukedom. De Ligt said.

Carlos was overjoyed at first, but when he found that his eldest brother had a sad look on his face, he knew that things were not so simple.

"The war in West Cyprus has been defeated, and my father has taken on the responsibility of guarding the northwest, and we are about to leave for the Blackstone Fortress in the north, and my father asked me to report to you, the contents of the box were left by my father, and he asked me to tell you, remember that after the winter snow melts, go to the Central Province. ”

Carlos was stunned when he heard this, grabbed the hand of his eldest brother De Ligt and asked tremblingly, "Has my father already left?"

"When I came, he had already pulled out, and he was going to go to Xilin City first to gather and rush to a few mercenary legions. ”

"I'm going to see my father. Carlos finished and rushed out of the room.

When he came to one of the night watchmen and ordered him to lift himself up to the armed horse, he took hold of the reins and did not look back, turned the horse's head, and whipped his horse's back and pouted his hooves and galloped away.

De Ligt shouted from behind, "It's too late, the team has already left." ”

As Carlos rode through the street, he saw many residents dressed in tatters lining up, leading their luggage slowly, and the dwarven overseer Julio stood in the middle of the line, driving a group of prisoners and miners forward, and it seemed that it was not only the Stevenson family who were going to the Blackstone Fortress.

There was no time to pay attention to these, Carlos rode along the advancing procession, he has been busy with alchemy recently, and was completely kept in the dark about what was happening outside, after hearing that his father was promoted to duke, and was going to the front, he suddenly panicked, Carlos, who was brought up by his father since he was a child, did not want to lose his father after his mother left.

Western Cyprus was a military powerhouse, and it was the front line of the war, but only two months into the battlefield, and suddenly Eastern Cyprus became a new frontier, Carlos thought that his father was too eager to restore the family's glory and might have made a wrong choice.

And he, as the next successor of the Stevenson family, needs to take on something for the family, even if it is a necessary reminder.

Carlos's horse could not speed up the street, and people kept breaking away from the group and walking past the horse in front of him, and he had to carefully hold the reins.

Looking at the endless line ahead, Carlos was anxious.

At this moment, a familiar figure rode in front of him, reined in his horse and stopped in front of Carlos.
