The stalemate between the Iron Country and the Empire has been maintained for two months, and it has maintained a good cycle of you staring at me and me staring at you.

Leo has long known about the border affairs, but he is helpless, if it is just an ordinary Middle Ages, he will already be able to walk sideways, but it is a pity that there is magic and ancient black technology in this world, what kind of saint armor, Leo wants to make a look at it.

Another letter came to Drifting Snow City, and Leo almost didn't throw it directly into the trash, reflexively thinking that it was the group of scholars who had come to urge the draft, only to find that it was printed with the fire paint of the Southern Grand Duke.

glanced at it, smiled and shook his head, this is a borrowed knife, saying that the black ditch forces in the southern territory are a little restless, and it is an unforgivable crime to incite the people before, but because the front line is tight, he can't send people to exterminate it, I heard that Herman, the sheriff of Drifting Snow City, has a lot of experience in this and hopes to get help Yunyun.

Leo believed him a nonsense, why does the black ditch force exist, because someone raises it!

Who raised it, the old nobles, after the smallpox incident in the south, most of the nobles were packed and taken away by Prince Ge Lei, and the remaining ones were not left behind, they obviously wanted to borrow his hands to shovel, anyway, Drifting Snow City had already offended the old aristocratic forces to death.

However, it may not all be bad, the students' nest in Drifting Snow City also lacks exercise, and new miscellaneous weapons also need to be tested, and the black ditch forces in this southern territory are indeed a good whetstone, and after thinking about it, they still summoned Herman.

"There is a chance to exercise in the south now, you go, it's still an old job, shoveling the black ditch rats, but it may be a little dangerous, after all, it's so far away from Drifting Snow City, and you can't support it in time if you have a problem."

"No problem!"

Hearing the shoveling of the black ditch, Herman answered almost without thinking about it, what he hated most was these rats in the ditch, if he hadn't met the teacher at the beginning, what would he be now?

The mother was worried, and Leo felt that he couldn't let go of the first time when he let the students go on a mission alone, so he assigned Herman a twenty-man musket team to equip all the body armor that had been produced first, and the personnel set off on two baguettes, and wanted them to bring a few more boxes of thunderbolts, but they were spit out by the brute hammer.

"Do you want them to attack the city?"

Leo could only snort, and could only be reduced to one person to carry with him, and this set of equipment could almost walk sideways in the Land of Iron as long as it was not a confrontation with the regular army with warlocks.

Herman almost didn't cry when he set off, only four students knew how kind of person the teacher actually was, and Egger hadn't been fired until now because Leo felt sorry for him, and he got on the baguette with a handful of snot and tears.

…..

The green slime has also studied some new properties, and the heated slime no longer seems to be afraid of fire, and after studying more, Leo also got up casually, eating caramel bread in the research room, and fell into it by mistake, and found that it was cleaner than a dog licking it.

The slime also seems to have increased a bit, which is definitely an excellent find, the more this slime is used, the less it is used, the remaining body armor and hot air balloon are strengthened without this, and the slime-soaked canvas is not even shot through with a bow and arrow.

……..

After Herman's team arrived in the Southern Territory, they visited the Grand Duke of the South and did not move, leaving many people who had received the news in advance puzzled and could only observe secretly.

The wind mixed with the peculiar smell of the sea, and as he watched the workers coming and going on the docks, Herman took a deep breath and silenced his thoughts.

It's been a long time since I visited, and I secretly explored the composition of the black ditch forces in the entire southern region, and finally locked this seemingly the most prosperous port town, the more I investigated, the more frightened I became, the black ditch forces here are not only supported by the old aristocracy, but the frequent cargo handover in the port is always accompanied by some unsightly deeds.

said that it is a black ditch, and many leaders of the black ditch forces are already famous shipping merchants, and the plate is more complicated, so you can't do it rashly.

"The teacher may have known about it for a long time, so he arranged for me to come here."

Thinking of the teacher's high hopes for him, Herman took a deep breath of the sea breeze and passed by a camera obscura, intending to continue today's investigation, but there was a curse from inside.

"Do it or not!"

The three big men surrounded it, and at first glance, the figure was like a long-term dock, and the young man in a ragged linen shirt curled up in the corner and trembled, but his eyes were staring at the three people in front of him.

"Don't do it! You only gave me two silver coins for a reward of four gold coins."

"This is the work of a thief, and if you spread it, you will lose your head, and you will do it for a fool!"

The big man led by pinched his fist bones and made a loud sound, and gave the young man a hard punch, and then a burst of punches and kicks, and the young man was lying on the ground struggling Although he didn't get up, he didn't let his hateful gaze avoid the three of them for a moment.

"You crumbs! I will not give in to you! ”

“……”

This kid has a watt in his head today?

"The one above said that the fewer people who know, the better, don't you?"

The slightly shorter man next to him whispered a few words, the leader nodded, and pulled out the long knife from his waist.

"Look hilarious! If you want to save it, save it quickly! Die if you don't save me! ”

The young man suddenly shouted loudly, he was in a hurry, what were he doing to pretend to be this half of garlic, from the moment Herman came in, he had been skimming his afterglow, in order not to let the three of them find out, staring at the provocation.

Who knew that Herman looked at it for a while, then silently retracted the hand that was stretched out to the weapon, and just watched him be beaten in silence.

"Oh....I thought you had something to do, the teacher said don't bother others to pretend to be garlic"

Saying that, he still didn't take out the musket, but he still stood in place in a daze, watching the three big men rushing towards him, the young man really closed his eyes this time, playing with calves, and he was going to explain today.

The muffled sound of the body colliding with something, and then opening his eyes, Herman didn't know when he picked up a waste broom stick, and the stick hit the opponent's abdomen, side waist, calf and a series of weaknesses like rain, and his gentleman put away the stick and did not look back at the three big men slowly falling.

"The teacher also said that the garlic should be delayed until the last moment to have a picture effect"

This batton technique was taught by the teacher, and although I had never seen the teacher use it himself, the teacher must have used it much better than himself.

“…….”

"Can you still get up?"

Herman reached out to help him, and the boy hissed and gasped, covered in wounds, but felt more mentally damaged.

"You ....."

As soon as he spoke, he was stunned and the sound of dense footsteps sounded, and a group of people came in from the entrance of the alley, blocking the way out.

"..... did you bring someone here?"

Herman shrugged and waved his hand helplessly.

“…… Run! ”
