A small army of about 50 men marched in an orderly manner on the mountain road covered with thick fallen leaves, which was said to be a mountain road, but in fact it was nothing more than a narrow road made of towering ancient trees, which was already narrow and cramped by the shrubs on both sides of the road that grew wildly in all seasons. No one complained, however, and they formed a tortuous queue on the mountain road, moving forward in silence, stepping their feet into the decaying and damp depths of the fallen leaves and pulling them out with all their might. There was a dusty carriage in the procession, which was scratched by branches from time to time, making a disturbing sound.

To be precise, the sound that upsets "someone".

There was a soft click, and the arc of the blade carved through the wooden board turned slightly, and most of the symbols were deciphered, and suddenly the donkey's head was not in the horse's mouth, Luciana knocked her forehead irritably, threw away the knife and the thick manuscript, and rolled over and lay down angrily, closing her eyes, but the noise above her head still lingered in her mind like a swirling mosquito and fly. She finally realized how vulnerable she was to the distractions of the outside world, her concentration like the taut strings on a lute that fluttered at the slightest pluck. She had even begun to miss her little room in Issos, and though she was stared at by her father and Grandpa Wendil, they at least waited for her response after knocking.

Without warning, the carriage came to a sudden stop, and Luciana rolled off her seat with an "oops" and almost rolled out of the carriage. "What's going on?" Luciana asked angrily as she poked her head out of the curtain of the car, ignoring the dust.

"Ma'am, there's a wolf feeding up ahead." The captain whispered, pointing forward, "If we disturb the wolves, we're in a bad place." ”

"Wolves?" Luciana looked in the direction of the captain's finger and saw only a scrawny old mountain wolf, its front paws slowly tugging at a bloodstained man, but not mouthful. "That's just an old wolf who has been driven out of the pack, and the real wolves are probably almost half a mountain range away from us!"

The captain opened his mouth, he was not a hunter, he was not familiar with the laws of the jungle, but he would not believe Luciana's statement, after all, he was responsible for the safety of everyone, and prudence may not be the best policy, but it will never be the next policy. He was just about to find an excuse to prevaricate the noble lady back into the carriage, when Luciana spoke again: "Moreover, the man is still alive!" ”

"Are you sure, ma'am?" The captain cautiously asked, he could stand by and wait for the wolf's belly to be rounded by fresh flesh, and leave contentedly; But if he eats the living, he can't sit idly by, and the highest doctrine of the Goddess of Creation Order is that God loves the world, and it is a great blasphemy against the goddess to see death and not save him!

"I'm sure!" Luciana said categorically, in fact, she was not sure whether the man was alive or dead, but judging from the old wolf's behavior, it was testing its prey, and the other party might still be holding its last breath. She saw the captain's previous attitude in her eyes, knowing that he didn't trust her inference, so this time she kept an eye on it, not to say inference, but just quietly slapped the captain with his teachings.

"Maybe it was the goddess of creation who favored him and let him die." The captain sighed, as a soldier, he didn't have the bad habit of dragging mud and water, and after making a decision in his heart, the action was a matter of course. The captain took off the crossbow behind his back, quickly pulled the crossbow string, pressed the crossbow arrow, locked the old wolf's head in the Wangshan Mountain, and forcefully pulled the crossbow machine.

Shout!

The emaciated wolf fell to the ground, and the captain stepped forward quickly. Luciana was right, although the man was covered in blood and had a piercing wound on his right shoulder that he felt shocked even when he saw it, he was still tenaciously alive! What a terrible life force! The captain was amazed. However, the other party also seemed to have reached the limit, and after struggling to look up at him, he fell to the ground. The captain carried him, careful not to touch his wounds, walked back to the ranks, and said:

"Ma'am, this person seems to have fainted due to excessive blood loss."

Luciana glanced at the bloodied man, and felt that he was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere earlier. She thought for a moment, "Which of you has better medical skills?" ”

"Ma'am, I'm Erlange, and I was a herbalist of the Knights of the Radiant Cross before I was discharged from the army." A middle-aged man stepped out of the ranks.

"Hey, didn't His Majesty the Emperor stipulate that the members of the Knights of the Radiant Cross, regardless of their position, should enjoy quasi-first-class knight treatment after retiring?" Luciana asked curiously, "Why did you come to be a mercenary of the Order?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled gently: "In order to fulfill the will of the goddess." ”

Luciana nodded in understanding. She had been in contact with the Radiant Cross Knights for a while, and knew that the members of this order basically regarded themselves as physicians - in their early years, they were indeed barefoot doctors walking the southern continent of Pande, saving lives and serving as missionaries to the goddess of creation, and they were not less persecuted by the snake cult before Marius ascended the throne, but thanks to the efforts of these people, the belief in the goddess of creation has always been in opposition to the worship of poisonous snakes. Marius's New Empire movement was able to be carried out at the grassroots level without hindrance, thanks to the early members of the Knights of the Radiant Cross. And after retiring, instead of spending the rest of his life comfortably in the rear, but coming to the Order's mercenaries with a high casualty rate, it is indeed like the style of this Knights.

Luciana glanced at the man again and said, "Erlange, wipe his face." ”

Erlanger didn't know why, but he still wiped the blood off the man's face as Luciana wanted, revealing a young and resolute face. Lucianna scrutinized it, and finally remembered when she had seen this face.

At the annual festival of Yanos, the death row prisoner who wreaked havoc in the gladiatorial arena with the demigod "Noisy" Alaric von Bloch! And his name is no longer a secret after an old file that had been dusted for ten years has been resurfaced.

Once a side branch of the Baranduc family that was a smash hit in the Pande Empire, the only son of Frem Baranduk, Esher Baranduk!
