"Where did this ore come from?!" After a few seconds, Anne turned to look at the white-haired old man, and asked in a somewhat quick tone, "How much is it?"

"Even, yes. The white-haired old man listened to Anne's words, and did not show any excitement at all, as if there was no commission to be taken on consignment. As before, he glanced at Anne and said slowly: "This has to make me think about it, I'm old, and my memory is a little bad, I remember it seems to be"

Halfway through speaking, the white-haired old man's tone continued to drag on, and then ...... There is no more......

Anne waited for half a minute, and found that there was no follow-up, and felt a wave of anger spread from the lower abdomen upwards. With one hand raised, he was about to drag the white-haired old man out from behind the counter and interrogate him violently.

Just then, she noticed that the white-haired old man suddenly looked towards the door.

Huh?

Curious, she followed the old man's gaze and looked towards the door, and saw a young woman about her age walk in, with long hair shoulder-length.

Her gaze and the other's gaze naturally touched together.

"You ......," Anne opened her mouth to ask.

As a result, there was a "boom" sound.

Outside Newburgh, somewhere, there was a loud explosion, and the crumbling wooden shelves in the store suddenly made a "creaking" sound that was difficult to support.

This?

Anne was stunned.

She was also stunned when she saw the young woman walking in, apparently as unaware of what was happening.

On the contrary, it was the white-haired old man behind the counter who realized the truth first, and the whole person ran out quickly from behind the counter, shouting and running out.

"There's a war! The wizard has cast a spell! Run! Run!"

"Wow!"

There was some confusion in the streets outside, throughout Newburgh.

Anne's body tightened, and out of a stress response, mana fluctuations in her body began to emerge. Then she noticed that the young woman at the door also showed a vigilant look, and there were also mana fluctuations in her body.

The two of them looked at each other, and both showed expressions of "you are the same as me", and then looked out of the city together.

"What the hell is going on?" said Anne in a low voice.

After a moment, she heard the woman at the door reply, "I don't know." ”

"Uh......"

......

More than a dozen miles outside Newburgh in the wilderness.

"Bang!"

With the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, a figure fell from the sky.

The figure that fell was an army wizard of the Soma Alliance, with the peak cultivation of a first-level wizard, and it stands to reason that his status is not low at all, but at this time he is extremely embarrassed.

I saw that the clothes on his chest had been burned by the flames, revealing a charred and blackened chest, and most of his hair had been burned by the flames, and he was lying on the ground like a beggar, blood was flowing from under him, his eyes were closed, and he was obviously seriously injured.

"Chester Wizard, Master Chester!" two young male figures quickly ran closer, one shouted, and the other hands gave birth to a faint green glow, pressing towards the wounded wizard's chest. They are two apprentices of wizards in the army, and their mission is to assist wizards in battle, and now they are trying to save them in a panic when they see that the object of their assistance has been severely damaged.

The wizard known as Chester was not in the worst physical condition, and under the weak treatment, he woke up.

Opening his eyes, Chester saw the nervous expressions of two wizard apprentices close by, and a little farther away, he saw a wizard of the Sika Kingdom in a blue-gray robe, flying into the distance.

Just now, it was the other party who seriously injured him in a sneak attack, and now it is the magic-clad knight who is preparing to raid a reconnaissance outpost of the Soma Alliance.

Yes, the other side is raiding the reconnaissance outpost.

Chester's eyes widened, and with the help of his vision far beyond ordinary people, he could clearly see that Wizard Sika had a billowing flame in his hand, scattering it towards the ground. Below were several magic-clad knights of the Soma Alliance who had just become conscious, and they didn't have time to attack, and they were engulfed in flames the next moment.

After killing several knights in costumes, the wizards of King Sika's ** team did not stop, and flew towards another reconnaissance post not far away, trying to repeat the old trick.

Chester felt his body heat up.

He was well aware that in the vicinity, there were a total of three Soma Alliance reconnaissance posts, which together guarded a garrison stronghold, thus forming a relatively advanced defense line on the border, and in some cases, could occupy a certain advantage.

And now, the Sika Kingdom is obviously preparing to destroy this section of the defense line, including reconnaissance posts and garrison strongholds.

Behind the Sika Wizard, on the horizon in the distance, there was the sound of horses' hooves rumbling, which were cavalry preparing to support the Sika Wizard.

Damn, it's Sika who's taking the initiative to provoke a war!

Chester felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling, and he couldn't help but want to fight hard so that the Sika people could get the lesson they deserved, but the intense pain in his chest and back reminded him that it was impossible to complete this task In the previous sneak attack, he had already suffered irreversible injuries, and he was not at all the opponent of the wizards of the Sika King's ** team, not to mention the large number of cavalry that followed.

"What to do, Wizard Chester?"

"What to do, Lord Chester?"

The two wizard apprentices, pale and constantly asking questions, their voices trembling, were as tired as mosquitoes in his ears.

"Shut up!" Chester roared, struggling to his feet, looking at the Sika wizard who had destroyed the second outpost and flitted towards the last.

Taking a deep breath, he forcibly suppressed the injury, and commanded the two wizard apprentices: "Calm down!"

"Now the situation is obvious, it is the Sika Kingdom that is provoking, and they must not be allowed to succeed. ”

"Now, I'm going to pass the message on to the military. However, it is difficult for them to know the details, so I have given the two of you the task of bypassing the garrison and rushing to the barracks separately to tell the military what you have seen. Hopefully, the garrison will hold out until you return with support. ”

"What about you, my lord?" asked the two wizard apprentices.

"What ...... me," Chester's expression grimaced slightly, "Of course I'm trying my best to hold back that damn Sikaryan wizard, otherwise how could the garrison hold out, and how would you two get out safely." ”

As the words fell, Chester took out a crystal ball from his waist and quickly injected mana into it to activate it.

In a moment, the vague information agreed in advance was transmitted, and Chester crushed the crystal ball with a "whoosh". Then he stepped on his feet, leaning over his body, coughing in a low voice, and rushed towards the army wizard of the Sika Kingdom, his eyes blood-red.

"Let's go!" Chester made one last sound.

The two wizard apprentices shook their bodies, looked at each other, and without hesitation, ran quickly towards the depths of their own defense line, one left and one right.

"Boom!"

As they ran, the sky above them roared.

A fierce battle ensued between the two wizards.

"Click!"

In the distance, the sound of dense horses' hooves on the horizon kept approaching.

"Brush, brush!"

In the garrison stronghold, the soldiers who reacted began to open their large crossbows one after another, trying to help their own wizards, but to no avail.

Farther afield, whether it is the Soma Alliance or the Sika Kingdom, there are a series of chain changes in the military camps of both sides.

A battle is getting fiercer, and it looks like it's about to break out.
