Footsteps could be heard outside the cavern, and Foss hugged Millie tightly, while Haruka leaned restlessly against the rock wall with his sword, the footsteps getting closer and closer, and sounding like more than one person. couldn't help but make the three of them nervous.

"Haruka! I'm back. Hetila's voice rang out, and she walked into the cave with four men.

When they saw that it was Hetila, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The four people who came in with her at the same time were recognized by Haruka at once.

"Natalie?!And Hywig and Seid?!Sister Elaine is also there?!"

"Long time no see, you look embarrassed. Natalie smiled and walked up to him.

"Why are you here ... ”

"Have you forgotten, I have this. Natalie pointed to the mark left by the apocalypse on her forehead, "Leaning on it, I can predict my encounter with you." She leaned her head into Haruka's ear and whispered, it seemed that she hadn't told the other three about it.

"Are you here to save me?"

"That's right, Natalie said you're in trouble, so we're here. Said interjected, looking a little excited to see Haruka, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Well, I didn't expect you to do this for me... Haruka couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Actually, the two of them didn't come and evacuated, so they came with me. Natalie said.

"Evacuated, what's wrong with the Academy?"

"The entire kingdom of Surfara has fallen, and the academy has naturally been destroyed. Sister Elaine, who had been silent, said calmly.

"What?!How did it fall so quickly?!"

"In order to create time for civilians to evacuate, the army of the Kingdom of Surfara held the border for two days and finally wiped out. ”

"And what about the Imperial Army in Albania, is there no aid?" asked Hetila.

"Those who are timid and afraid of death retreated early into their borders, watching the kingdom of Surfara fall completely. ”

"That... What about Headmaster Bislizi, is she just watching the academy fall?"

In order to protect the safety of all the teachers and students in the school, she made a deal with the Empire, the Empire accepted all students and teachers into the Empire, and she must join the Imperial Army as the frontline warrior to protect the Empire. ”

"Heh, those guys are really shameless. Haruka couldn't help but curse, but didn't want to see Fox and Millie on the side, "I'm sorry, as an Elbanian, it might be a bit harsh for you to listen to these words." ”

"Don't mind us, the Imperial Army's approach is indeed a bit cowardly, and you should be angry. Foss waved his hand.

"Then Iska was also sent to the territory of the Empire?" Haruka couldn't help but ask.

"Princess Iskar, she was escorted back to the kingdom by the most elite dragon knight legion in Artinia when the fortress of Valenci fell. Natalie replied.

"I've also heard about this, when the Eastern and Western Continents were not completely isolated by the demons, the king had ordered Princess Iska to be brought back to the country. Hetila added.

"Well, it looks like we've passed by. Haruka shook her head with a wry smile.

"Can you tell me why you're in such a place? with the knight of Altinia and a father and daughter from Albania. Elaine asked.

Haruka explained to them what had happened before, and they were all shocked by Haruka's reckless behavior.

"Looks like if we don't come here, you're probably going to die here. Said said with some smugness.

"Indeed, now that you are here, we have enough combat power to protect their father and daughter. Haruka replied.

"But the four of you are really very powerful, just driving a carriage, you can come here safely and soundly, you must know that this is a demon-controlled area, and you can encounter dangerous and vicious demonic beasts almost everywhere. ”

"No, Natalie's perceptual magic is amazing, leading us to skillfully avoid almost most of the magical beasts, while the rest are easily leveled by relying on the combat power of Sister Elian. Said hurriedly replied.

"Well, are you two boys of little use?" asked Hetila.

"This... In the face of her question, Seid was momentarily speechless.

"I was driving the carriage the whole time, and he didn't seem to be doing anything. Hywig on the side said.

"Hey, you kid... Seid's face flushed, he wanted to boast about himself in front of Haruka, but he didn't expect to end up in such an embarrassment.

"Okay, okay, I'm very grateful for you to come, and now let's discuss the future itinerary. "Haruka Roundway.

"That's right, we've already joined Haruka, and the first step has been achieved. Seid turned his gaze to Natalie, "What are we going to do next, Miss Natalie, Strategist." ”

"Is there a map?" asked Natalie.

"Here's the map. Fox handed over the map that had been preserved from the wreckage of the airship.

"We should be here now, and the next thing we're going to go to is this small village on the border with Elbania. She drew a circle on the map.

"There is ... Fox looked a little excited, "Millie and I are here!"

"yes, that's great. Natalie smiled and said, "Headmaster Bislizi and the Imperial garrison happen to be here, so we can not only find the Headmaster, but also complete Haruka's escort mission, which is just a double win." ”

"Is that okay? Or did you predict it in advance?" Haruka whispered into Natalie's ear.

"Don't worry, it's going to be fine, but this time, we can't take it slowly. She threw the package behind her in front of Haruka and looked at Haruka expectantly......
