There was a rustling sound behind him, and Hathaway turned her head to look, but it was Leonardo. Beirut also emerged from the tent.

"Didn't you say that you were tired after a long day's journey? Why don't you take a break? Hathaway asked in a low voice, so as not to surprise the others.

"It's very tiring, except for being so tired when I first practiced martial arts, I haven't been in such a hurry for a long time. Maybe you're tired, but you can't sleep well, and when you hear the sound of you walking outside, you come out to take a look. "Leonardo. Beirut said helplessly.

"I'm so sorry." Hathaway said.

"Nothing. Probably because my life has been too comfortable over the years, I feel less and less like a martial artist, and although I have suffered some hardships this time, it is also an opportunity to sharpen. "Leonardo. Beirut said.

"I have a heart, you can think so, it seems that after going back this time, the martial arts realm is very likely to improve." Hathaway said.

Although the Earl was quite fond of enjoyment and pampered, it seemed from this operation that he was not only impeccable in his conduct of life, but also quite forbearant in terms of hardship, which was quite rare among young nobles. With this alone, this person has a great future in the future.

"I've taken your good word. But, Lord Count, why can't you sleep? I'm sure you won't be the same reason as me. "Leonardo. Beirut asked.

"Hehe, I'm just confused by some questions." Hathaway said.

"What's the problem? Why don't you say it, let's take a closer look. "Leonardo. Beirut asked.

"The underground races that live in the dark regions often come out to loot and even start wars. But why didn't the races of the surface world organize an army to take the initiative to crusade against those underground races? I've read some books on history. In almost every war, the surface race responds passively. In this case, the underground dwarves actually wiped out one of the human countries, but the surrounding countries just sat back and watched them loot the mineral deposits on the surface. ”

"Hehe, so you're thinking about this."

Leonardo. Beirut shook his head: "For most countries, the war waged by the underground races of the Dark Regions is just a war waged by an alliance of one nation against another coalition of nations, and there is no difference. The only ones who really care about this are the religious organizations of the Light Camp and the countries bordering the Dark Regions. Although the dark region is rich in products. But the living environment is harsh. The nations of the surface world are more inclined to trade for those goods. Although there are some countries that want to be free from the dangers of underground races for a long time, they are unable to gain the support of other countries. This time the underground dwarves acted, and most countries chose to wait and see. It is also to preserve their own strength. Like His Majesty, he is willing to send a team to reconnoitre. It's not easy. Before the Underground Race officially launched an attack, His Majesty would not have been able to take large-scale military action. ”

"If the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached. Sooner or later, humanity will have to pay the price. Hathaway sighed.

"You don't have to worry about it. What we need to consider now is how to safely enter the heart of the Alpine Kingdom, complete His Majesty's mission, and then safely withdraw back. "Leonardo. Beirut said.

"You have a point, let's get some rest early." Hathaway's tone was visibly coping, and she silently turned back to her tent. Lying in bed, his mind flew to Vannal City again...... I wonder how the recruitment is going there?

……

Twenty-three-year-old Jennia lives with her mother and toddler in a small shack by the camp wall. Twenty-six months ago, the dwarves of the Underground went mad and began to attack the Kingdom of the Alps, and her husband, a soldier in the Kingdom's army, bravely took up his sword and shield to fulfill his oath of defending the country...... From that time on, Jenya never heard from her husband again.

When the royal capital fell, she was in her mother's house. The mother, Mrs. Karpass, took her and her newborn child to an old neighbor's house, where she knew there was a secret room where she could hide. The neighbor was a middle-aged woman in her fifties who had a mezzanine chamber built a long time ago. It had mentioned the Chamber of Secrets to Mrs. Karpass. In the early days of the war, she had made a sincere offer that if the evil underground dwarves did invade the capital, and they didn't have time to escape, Mrs. Karpas could take her daughter to hide in her vault. So, early that morning, when there was a loud crumbling sound of the walls of the royal capital, Mrs. Karpas immediately came here with Mother and Son of Jeania.

When the mother and daughter arrived at the friend's house with the baby in their arms, they found that the sudden bad news had sent their friend into hysteria.

"The underground dwarves outside the city have come in,"

The woman said, "I have hidden my son and daughter in to smell it, and I can let your daughter and the little baby stay, but you can't." ”

Jania looked at the hidden wall with fascination, at the mottled and filthy wallpaper on the wall, behind which were hidden the woman's sons and daughters, whose feet might have been crawling with countless rats, and in the boundless darkness, their senses became incomparably acute.

Mrs. Karpas could see that the woman had lost her mind, and she kept repeating what she had just said, ignoring Mrs. Karpass's explanation, and the screams coming from a distance shattered the last shred of the woman's sanity, "I can let your child stay, but you must get out of here at once!" ”

Mrs. Karpas had no choice but to let Janeia hide her baby in the secret room. Jenia later couldn't understand why she had followed her mother's instructions without a word and hid in the secret room without saying a word. The woman led her into the secret room. It was very dark, with only a faint glow from a small section of candle. The woman's son looked at her with a hostile gaze, but the girl next to her was very kind, and seeing that she was a little nervous, he gently pushed her and asked her to sit down and find a place to rest. So Jenia curled up by the wall, and finally found a more comfortable position...... There were no rats here, there was silence all around, and no sound could be heard at all. She didn't know if her mother would stay outside or leave, but at this time, she had an inexplicable sense of security, and this security soon made her feel ashamed. (To be continued......)
