Summer in the north is always short, and as the northernmost province of the Garneman Empire, Okie Province has already ushered in autumn.

At this time, the trees here have begun to wither, and now the wilderness is already a golden color.

Today's weather is not very good, it is overcast and there is no sun, which makes the temperature in Chongjiang province even cooler.

Above the vast wilderness, an imperial army is slowly marching north.

And this army was mainly responsible for transporting military supplies, and it is clear that they were the guards who were preparing to go to the borders of the Garneman Empire.

Among the team, two people walked at the very end, deliberately distancing themselves from the team in front of them.

The leader of the escort army who led the way in front turned his head and couldn't help but scold: "You two hurry up and follow, what are you doing in the back!"

One of them hurriedly beckoned and said, "Sir, we want to go to the toilet, and we will follow soon!"

The leader of the escort army snorted coldly, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

The two of them were close to each other in the rear, whispering all the time.

"This time, we arrived at the border army, and after unloading the goods, we will find an opportunity to go west, do not delay, if we delay the task, then we will not have a good end!"

One of them said in a low voice.

The other person also nodded in agreement: "Well, only this time, we still need to pay more attention along the way, and we can't show any horses' feet." ”

"This time to go to the Tarona steppe, it will be even more dangerous, not to mention whether it will be discovered by the people of the Van family, even if it encounters barbarians at that time, it will be very troublesome. ”

"Our main task this time is to find out the exact purpose of the Vail family, and we don't have to worry about anything else. So if we are discovered, we will retreat as soon as possible and look for another opportunity to gather information. ”

The two looked at each other and nodded.

The two of them were talking to themselves, and they saw that the distance between them and the large army in front was getting farther and farther, and there was already a distance of more than thirty meters.

They didn't want to be discovered by their own people, after all, this time the task was personally ordered by the fat man in the palace, and it couldn't be leaked.

Just as the two of them were about to speed up their pace and rejoin the large army, suddenly, a strange thin figure appeared in front of them.

The thin man who suddenly appeared sneered and beckoned to the two, not giving them a chance to shout, and the dagger in his hand drew a perfect arc, and the throats of the two Garneman sentry guards disguised as escorts suddenly spurted out a bloody arrow.

The two of them clutched their necks, their eyes full of shock and despair, and they wanted to shout, but they couldn't make any sound.

The two of them soon fell to the lush weeds of the wasteland, and the bright blood soon stained the withered yellow weeds red.

And the strange man who moved extremely fast disappeared in an instant.

Seeing that the two had not yet returned, the leader of the escort army in front of him was angry, and he turned around and scolded: "You two bastards, don't you want to ......?"

Before the word "live" could be uttered, the leader was stunned, for he did not notice the two soldiers who claimed to be going to the toilet.

The leader's face turned extremely ugly, and he immediately ordered the convoy to stop.

"Go back and see, what's going on?" the leader said to one of his men.

The man hurried backwards, and before long he exclaimed, "Ah! they, they seem to be dead!"

At this time, the leader's first reaction was not to go forward to check the situation, but to scan around, but did not find any suspicious signs.

He chuckled in his heart, he was also a sixth-level warrior, and two of his subordinates were killed, but he didn't even realize it? Moreover, these two idiots didn't even have time to call for help!

The strength of that killer is definitely very strong.

But he overlooked the fact that the Shadow Mage itself was a strange being.

In the case that the opponent was defenseless and inferior to his own strength, the shadow mage was able to easily eliminate the two sentinels.

Seeing that the killer's whereabouts could no longer be found, the leader rode to the corpses of the two.

When he saw the cut on their necks, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

"The edge of the knife is so neat, and judging from the scratches, it should have killed two people at the same time with one knife!" As the leader of the legion who has been fighting all year round, he can naturally see the strength of this knife.

"Bury their bodies!" said the leader of the garrison.

Someone in the team whispered: "Is it buried? shouldn't it be sent back to ......?"

But before the man could finish speaking, he saw the chief's eyes as cold as frost, and immediately swallowed back the second half of the sentence that had reached his lips.

"I said! Bury them! None of you are allowed to tell me what is happening today! If the legion asks, they will say that they died at the hands of the barbarians, have you heard it?" the leader's voice was noticeably colder.

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone didn't dare to put forward any more opinions, so they could only nod their heads.

As for life and death, in fact, after experiencing many wars, they have seen it very openly, and it can be said that it is commonplace.

The brothers in the army who are still talking and laughing with you during the day may be separated by yin and yang at night.

Especially in the recent period, the Garneman Empire has experienced too many things, the situation has been in turmoil, and those small empires around it have also begun to pick quarrels and provoke trouble on the border.

As there were more battles, so did the number of casualties.

Soon they buried the two poor fellows in a hurry, and then continued on their way as if nothing had happened.

It's just that this time, the leader changed from the front row at the beginning to the back position, and he was afraid that another accident would happen.

After all, the work of escorting supplies is very important, and if there is a mistake, it may kill the entire escort team.

Shortly after the escort left, the same killer who had killed the two sentinels reappeared on the path.

And beside him, there was a tall middle-aged man at this time.

These two were none other than Carlos and Benjamin, who had fled from the imperial capital to Chongjiang Province.

Although it is impossible for the Arcane Brotherhood to complete the rebuilding anytime soon, the two still have a lot of things to deal with.

And now they are doing things for the Van family, clearing the empire's spies for them.

"Big brother, do you think Dylan will come back?" asked Benjamin.

Carlos looked at the vast wilderness, his face calm: "It will definitely be! He said that the Brotherhood will never be dissolved! As long as we are still here and he is still alive, then our Secret Brotherhood will definitely have a day to regain its strength!"

The two of them looked at each other with firm eyes and shook hands with each other, still the extremely familiar code!
