In the evening, Xia Lan and the others followed the caravan all the way north to Xia Mu Town.

Geographically, Xiamu Town and Fei'an Town are both located in the rich Windsor Plains, and the prosperity level is almost the same, or the entire southern town in the Windsor Plains is similar, and the exact difference between the north and the south can only be felt further north through the Yannan Mountains.

In the same way, goods from the north can also be sold at a good price in the south, so the commerce of the Kingdom of Anglion is especially the trade between the north and the north, and the caravans can often be seen on the road to and from the north.

The caravan would only stay in Xiamu Town for one night, and then set off again after an early morning, and everyone was physically and mentally exhausted after a tiring day's travel, even if they wanted to go out and spend their wine, they had to think carefully about whether they had the energy to go on the road the next day.

After arranging accommodation, Xia Lan quietly had a secret conversation with Singhings, the leader of the Mountain Eagle mercenary team, and the result was not so much a conversation as a unilateral order.

He demanded that every time Singers arrived in a town, he must send someone to inquire about the local security and the fighting situation on the front line, secondly, he must monitor every move of the caravan at all times, and thirdly, he must report anything suspicious to him!

It has always been the duty of mercenaries to take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, and it has long been strange to be picky and difficult in the face of employers from time to time, as for Xia Lan's three necessary requirements, it is not difficult for Singhals to accept them all, the only thing that makes him wonder is whether the other party is too cautious!

Singhs is a retired kingdom sergeant who once personally participated in the war against the invasion of the Heather Empire's borders in the year of freezing rain, but after the war, he somehow chose to retire and embark on the path of mercenary.

The members of his squad are all comrades-in-arms who retired at the same time. The style of conduct is in the same vein as the military. Loyal. Brave. Reliability is the reputation they have built over the years, and perhaps their strength is not the strongest in the local mercenary circle, but their reputation is the best.

The Mountain Eagle mercenary team to which Singhals belongs is very strange in choosing employers, and with the same employment entrustment, they often give preference to those who need the most help regardless of price, such as the elderly, women and children.

Joanna was able to hire the Mountain Eagle Mercenary Team because of the price on the one hand, and the conditions on the other hand, in line with the Mountain Eagle Team's principle of preferential employer selection.

A group of people with a lot of chivalry, this is what Xia Lan said about them.

Singers first gets used to observing his employer when he takes over an employment commission. Joanna's mother and daughter can not be mentioned for the time being, but Xia Lan, who is covered in bandages, is the object that he absolutely cannot ignore.

At first, he thought that Xia Lan was a strange-looking groom, but the identity of the other party was really beyond his expectations, but he didn't expect him to be the employer's brother!

According to his meticulous understanding of the journey, the mother and daughter of the employer trust this strange man named Alain very much, and can even describe it with words, and the secretly caring Singers immediately regards the other party as their real employer!

The employer's demands must be listened to, and these requirements are not excessively out of line, and the difficulty of implementation is not high, so Singers naturally accepted it without hesitation.

……

……

In the wee hours of the morning. Xia Lan, who had not yet fallen asleep, was digesting the front-line information that the Mountain Eagle Squad had inquired about not long ago.

The border battle is still scorching, and it is difficult to judge victory or defeat in a short time.

He sat in a chair in front of the windowsill. Closing his eyes, he struggled to recall the details of the war in his previous game, when his character was not in the Kingdom of Anglion, but in the heart of the Heather Empire, Drochichchen. The front-line war was very far away from him, but he had a general understanding of the progress of the war from the words of the NPCs around him, and the most impressive thing was that the Heather Empire occupied the entire territory of Windsor Plains in a month, for which the people of Drohichen also celebrated with great joy.

How long did it take for the Heather Empire to break through the border garrison of the Kingdom of Anglion? This is a question he has to ponder.

The caravan was moving very slowly, and it would take about ten days to reach the more stable north from the town of Fei'an through the Yannan Mountains, and if the fighting extended in those ten days, their safety would undoubtedly become a major problem.

Choosing to go to the north of the kingdom was a forced choice for Xia Lan.

To the east was the front of the Heather Empire, and to the south there was no safe place on the coast except for Galves, but Joanna insisted on not returning to Galves. Maybe going to sea is a good way, but Xia Lan, who is familiar with the trajectory of the war, clearly remembers that the Heather Empire had sent a large number of navies to blockade the south coast before attacking the Kingdom of Anglion, and even finally launched a large-scale fierce naval battle, if you don't want to become food for the fish and shrimp of the sea, it is best to cancel the choice of going to sea.

To the west is the Duchy of Burnier, the problem is that the Duchy of Berbernir is full of swamps and jungles, coupled with a large number of poisonous snakes and mosquitoes, if you don't pay attention to it, your life will be in danger, maybe Xia Lan is not afraid of these, but what about the weak Joanna mother and daughter?

In desperation, the only target he could choose to leave was the northern part of the kingdom.

However, the situation in the north of the kingdom seemed to be stable, and the defenders of the Yannan Mountains even defeated the invasion of the Heather Empire many times by virtue of their geographical advantages, but with the escalation of the war, the Yannan Mountains were lost a year later, and the Kingdom of Anglion perished with it.

So they were able to stay in the north of the kingdom for only one year.

Unless they make it all the way north to the safest Mountain of Revelation in the Radiant Church's sphere of influence, their lives will never be at peace.

And will Xia Lan go to the Mountain of Revelation?

It's impossible to think about throwing himself into the net, even if his life is coming to an end in less than a year.

It was his insistence, just as Joanna insisted on not wanting to return to Galvis.

Therefore, he would only send them away to the Mountain of Revelation.

The sun rises and the sun sets.

Leaving Aoki Town, Xia Lan and his party continued to pass through large and small towns on their journey, and on the seventh day, everyone received an unfortunate bad news.

The borders of the kingdom were lost, and Viscount Maxius was killed in battle.

Hearing this news, the people of the entire caravan were very depressed and painful, many people at the border cried loudly, and the Mountain Eagle Squad, which was a retired sergeant of the kingdom, became more and more silent, and anyone could find the aura of slaughter that emanated from their bodies, if it wasn't for the mercenary mission, they would definitely return to the southern border to resist the invasion of the Heather Empire!

In fact, they are very entangled, one is related to the security of the country, and the other is related to reputation and reputation.

Singers believed that even if they turned their backs on their employers and left, they would eventually return to the South to fight against the Heather Empire. But if they do this, it is tantamount to betraying the belief that they have always held on to themselves.

"How far is it from the Yannan Mountains?"

And Xia Lan immediately found Singhs and asked after learning this important news.

"It will take about a day to get out of the caravan and speed up." Singers faithfully fulfilled his duties as a mercenary.

"Starting tomorrow morning, we will break away from the caravan and reach the Yannan Mountains as fast as possible!" Xia Lan immediately decided.

"Are you worried that the iron hooves of the Heather Empire will penetrate deep into here? Singhals looked at Xia Lan coldly, and his words were full of ridicule.

In the face of such a patriotic soldier's ridicule, Xia Lan did not refute, and said calmly: "I know that you are eager to go back to the south to fight against the Heather Empire now, but don't forget that your mercenary mission is to escort us through the Yannan Mountains to Linquan Town in the north of the kingdom, since the sooner your employer is willing to go, the sooner you can return to the south, don't you want to agree to such a double thing?" ”

"If you wish, we'll leave early in the morning." Singers was silent for a moment and nodded, turning away without looking at him.

Looks like I'm a coward.

Xia Lan thought in her heart, the corners of her mouth couldn't help sneering, as long as she could reach Linquan Town safely, what about being a coward?

Soon after returning to the room, there was a sudden knock on the door, and when the door was opened, it turned out to be Joanna standing in front of the door with a pale face.

"Brother Alain, can we have a good talk?"

"Yes."

With that, he welcomed Joanna into the house and closed the door with his hand.

"Brother Alan, it's really right to trust you, the kingdom is really defeated." As soon as Joanna sat down, she hurriedly said in shock.

"We'll leave the caravan early tomorrow morning, and you and Nina are ready accordingly." Xia Lan poured a cup of tea and handed it to the other party.

"Rango, do you think it's safe here?" Joanna, who had a sharp mind, suddenly noticed the clue from his words.

"Just in case, don't worry." Xia Lan comforted.

After all, in the previous game, the Heather Empire's record of occupying the entire Windsor Plains in a month was really terrifying, as if it had not encountered any resistance to attack the fortifications, could it be said that the lords of towns everywhere were all waste? There may be only one answer, the members of the "subverting fangs" have rebelled en masse.

He didn't guarantee that something like this would happen to the towns in the Yannan Mountains, and if it did, they would have to flee desperately in a panic.

"Don't forget the Mountain Eagle Squad that guards us, even if it's dangerous." Xia Lan seemed to strengthen Joanna's confidence.

"If we make it to the north of the kingdom, will it be safe there?" Joanna worried.

"Of course!" Charan cut the railway.

When Joanna calmed down and left, Xia Lan suddenly remembered what she had just said.

Is the northern part of the kingdom necessarily safe?

Now that history has changed, will the Kingdom of Anglion still resist the Heather Empire for a year and a half as in the previous game?

Having lost the advantage of the future direction of history, Xia Lan found how small she was without strength. (To be continued.) )
