When Hathaway first obtained the bizarre jade coral that could devour flesh and blood, she absorbed the unicorn knight's martial arts and combat experience...... It had been so long that she had almost forgotten about it. But she didn't expect that this sudden battle would give her this kind of collection, which induced some battle scenes hidden in the depths of her memory, which invisibly improved her understanding of martial arts.

"Maybe those bodies should be kept."

Hathaway had some regrets, on the one hand, out of respect for the warriors, and more importantly, because the two unicorn knights were present, if they put away the corpses in a grand manner, it would be difficult to explain.

However, after this battle, the relationship between Hathaway's guards and the two unicorn knights seemed to ease a lot, and they also re-recognized the gap in strength, and in the following journey, the guards fought fiercely with the two knights, fighting in various names, and the strength was improved, and the most important thing is that they invisibly helped Hathaway divert her attention and made her much easier.

The spring sun pours in from the distant peaks, bringing light to the gorge, which is a huge fortress that holds the choke point of the province of Cassef in and out of the Cordillera.

It was probably because the vegetation in this canyon was too lush, or rather, the soldiers in the fortress camouflaged the fortress so well that it was difficult to see the scene in the fortress from the air, and the dense canopy was almost all connected, and the huge roofs under the canopy also played a great role in providing cover. It's very difficult to find something out of it.

The weather in the mountains is often unpredictable, just sunny and sunny, suddenly there is a torrential rain in the sky, the bean-sized rain hits the river surface crackling, and the surging river water will flood the river beaches on both sides.

Hathaway sat in the room, the dagger lying horizontally in front of her, quivering slightly with her breathing. Although it was still in the sword cultivation stage, the short sword already exuded a strange aura. The colors are getting deeper. It's a little more agile than before...... After successfully raising the sword, a Sword World Realm will be formed in the cultivator's body, and this Sword World Realm is not in a certain part of the cultivator's body (that is too unsafe), but is similar to a different dimensional space. And the space is dedicated.

Suddenly. The dagger emitted a sound similar to a scream. Trembling slightly, Hathaway was overjoyed. Just as she was about to strengthen her control, the dagger suddenly fell, making her efforts come to naught.

"It's not enough hard work." Hathaway sighed softly, but didn't feel frustrated.

Now she has a lot of means to control the enemy, but her overall strength is still not strong enough, and some enemies in the future cannot be dealt with by her simply improving her strength...... She is facing all kinds of enemies entrenched in a vast land, these people cannot be blindly suppressed by force, and I am afraid that it will take ingenuity to deal with some old and treacherous guys.

She put away her dagger and got up to look out the window...... In the distance were two mountains that meandered and intersected, and if the mountain range in front of him was a conspicuous fold in the earth, then the two peaks in front of it seemed to Hathaway to be undoubtedly folds above the fold.

This natural fold makes the towering and impassable mountain range reveal a narrow and narrow gap that can be passed, and the only obstacle may be the not too high mountain in front of it.

Seeing this, Hathaway had to sigh at the miracle of creation...... The folds, the meandering river, these two landscapes combine to form a steep passage.

At this moment, entering the city in the lobby downstairs of the hotel, there are many people gathered, most of them with heavy luggage...... Although the sudden heavy rain delayed their trip somewhat, it should be clear from their comments that this was not the main reason.

"I wonder how long we're going to be trapped here?"

"Don't worry, the mercenaries we paid a lot of money for are now halfway there, and they'll be here tomorrow."

"Who guarantees that those mercenaries will be able to get us out of the city safely? I heard that several teams have fallen into the hands of those guys, all of them have been killed, and they are also protected by mercenaries. ”

"It's not that scary, those thieves are ordinary people, at best, they have more strength, and the mercenaries we invited are enough to completely eliminate them."

"More strength? We already know that both teams have died in the mountains, and we may be the next victims! ”

"Then what advice does Your Excellency have, we are not here for tourism, but the situation is more severe than we imagined, is it because of those uncivilized guys, we have to give up everything we have worked so hard to prepare?"

"That's right, I've already spent a lot of money to prepare for this trip, and if I give up halfway, the losses will be unimaginable."

……

It didn't take long for Petro. Hughes appears in front of Hathaway and reports to her what happened.

Her luck seems to have been a little unlucky, not long ago, there was a large-scale orc and slave rebellion in the Cordillera Plateau, Cassef Province, and other places, and although they were quickly suppressed, most of them fled into the Cordillera Plateau. These people all have the mark of slavery on them, and no one dares to risk the world to hire them. As a result, there are more serious consequences...... They began to gather in the mountains and forests, joined bands of thieves, attacked the passing caravans in droves, and now blocked the gates of the fortress even more rampantly...... Every once in a while, these thieves blatantly send people to demonstrate.

"Is it serious?" Hathaway asked with a slight frown.

"Yes, you may have to change your itinerary."

Petro. Hughes nodded solemnly: "On the main road outside the Gettysburg Fortress, the traces of thieves were suddenly discovered almost at the same time, which caused great panic. ”

"Although the local garrison announced that the thieves were in fact defeated and escaped slaves, I myself am very worried that perhaps this is some kind of bad omen, because according to their combat effectiveness, they are no less than those time-tested old thieves, and they are also better armed than ordinary bands of thieves......"

After listening to Petro. Hughes's introduction, Hathaway also felt a little headache. Those who are in a hurry below are certainly panicking, and she is not necessarily much better. Although her team had three or four hundred people, if she really encountered a large number of thieves, these few hundred people were really not enough.

As she spoke, the rain had stopped, she pushed open the window, a fresh, moist air came to her face, she took a deep breath, and said, "Petro, let's stop here for a while, inquire about the specific situation, if there is a suitable team, we can go together, if not...... Then we'll go on our own. ”

Gettysburg Fort was not a purely military fortress, and when it was first built, there were only a few soldiers and their families. But as time goes on, everything changes, and the houses are lined up one after another, but there is no confusion, and the huge green roofs are cleverly combined with these buildings, which is very beautiful.

In such a crowded place, it is natural to put a lot of effort into building so many beautiful buildings, and because of this, in Hathaway's opinion, this city may not be as good as Vermont City, let alone the capital Heidelberg, but when it comes to exquisite beauty, even those two famous cities may not be comparable to here.

The people who inhabit such a city naturally develop the habit of refinement and refinement, which can be seen in the planning of the streets and the arrangement of the buildings outside the city walls. Hathaway believes that the city must have a history longer than Vermont, as the buildings near the river can be seen faintly in the styles that have prevailed in various eras.

Although the same buildings are found in Vermont City, it is not a sign of Vermont City, but only a manifestation of the personal preferences of the builders. But here, the buildings of each era are connected, and the old buildings are carefully wrapped in the middle, and these buildings of different eras form a natural square, and between these squares and squares, there are bustling streets full of shops.

Unlike Vermont, the builders of this scale clearly did not want to crowd together with all the prosperity and noise...... They were originally built to ...... The scattered lights are enough to prove that the wealth of this fortress is more uniform than anywhere else.

The blue moon was rising, and the city was lit up with a few moving lights, apparently the cavalry were patrolling, but Hathaway was still on the streets, seeing the people walking and walking. It suddenly occurred to him that the inhabitants of this city seemed to be too peaceful and leisurely.

Hathaway randomly found a nearby street, most of which were still lit up at the moment, and she glanced at the signs on either side and considered where to go for a drink...... She didn't want to go into a bar that was so crowded that the air smelled of sweat and vomit.

A sign with the words "Wandering Warbler" caught her eye, and although the name could easily evoke some childlike associations, she chose this bar anyway because it was much more elegant and quiet than the other two bars on the street.
