"Rodriguez, I've entrusted you with the Rock Legion, and maybe in a few days, you can put those guys to a good practice."

He explained in a slow tone as he picked up a quill and signed a warrant - the Rock Legion was the name of the Ensada Hoplite Legion, which was still nominally part of the Northland Legion.

Anna stood beside him, comprehended, picked up the warrant, and walked in front of Rodriguez.

"Knight Rodriguez, may the martial arts last long."

She said with a smile. The latter looked at Locke Lambert, then nodded solemnly.

The flames of the forest spread rapidly, and as time passed, the sunlight in the sky gradually dimmed.

The hands on the pocket watch went towards six o'clock in the afternoon.

The "Sky Wind" mercenary group has returned to Silver Leaf Town, and the current Silver Leaf Town still has the prosperous scene of people coming and going in the past, but the armed soldiers of the brigade are haunted, and they have already begun to patrol and martial law as early as the evening time-

The number of soldiers and the size of the ranks have changed dramatically compared to the past.

Cole, the tax collector, stood at the intersection of the street into the town, and beside him stood a ruddy-faced man—the two men had spoken intermittently, and judging by their looks, they were roughly equal in status.

From time to time, a procession of soldiers passed by them, and then the soldiers saluted in unison.

The sheriff of Silverleaf Town, Pique, is also the chief of the town's vigilantes. Such organizations used to maintain law and order in peacetime did not belong to the military sequence of the kingdom, in a sense, they were closer to the private soldiers of the nobility.

The "Sky Winds" mercenary group has appeared outside the town.

The long line was like a long snake, but it was extremely good-looking, and the lineup was quiet and orderly.

Cole and Peake stopped talking. They saw the "Mercenary Captain" Sask, who was at the head of the group.

"Lord Sask, what's going on?"

The tax officer, Cole, hurriedly stepped forward and asked, he couldn't help but be a little surprised by Sask's appearance-

As a confidant of Lord Earl, he saw what had happened to Ensada recently, and he knew all the arrangements clearly. At this time, seeing that Sask suddenly returned to Silverleaf Town, he wondered if this mercenary group had given up the original battle.

The nature of this incident is almost equivalent to a shameful deserter.

He had secretly made up his mind, and immediately, immediately reported the news to the Earl. But on the surface, he still greeted the handsome young knight with a smile—

The strength of the other party's awakening of the first order is in front of him, coupled with such a large number of mercenary groups, no one in the entire Silver Leaf Town dares to attack them.

"Goal accomplished."

Sask replied. Is his answer still so concise?

"Huh?"

Cole couldn't help but look at the back of the group, he saw the silent faces of these mercenaries, and saw their neat attire, which didn't look like any battle at all-

Turning his gaze away, he looked back at Sheriff Peake.

This gaze was so profound that Peake was eager to turn away - but he knew very well that the relationship between the two of them and the Earl, and their status in the Earl's heart, Cole still surpassed him a lot.

Seeing Sask's arrival, around the same time, Peake and Cole thought the same thing.

Flee without a fight?

Although Pique had the heart to ask, but in the face of the "Silver Frost Knight" Sask, he always had a feeling of weakness in his heart, the other party's gray eyes were as cold as a piece of ice, just occasionally glanced at each other, which made him feel cold in his heart-

Pique has the strength of the inaugural rank, even if he has seen those powerful knights who have awakened to the first order, he has never felt such a sense of fear.

As for the reason, he didn't think too much.

Wait, goal accomplished?

He heard Sask's cold, emotionless voice. What does that mean?

Riding on his horse, Sask grabbed the reins and pulled down near Cole and Peake, he turned his head as if his gaze were cast into the distant sky—

After many days of heavy snowfall, the weather in Norgo in the Northland has been clear, and at dusk of each day, the sky can always see a very beautiful and gorgeous sunset.

It's just that in today's sunset, the layers of clouds seem to be burning, exuding a charming and magnificent color.

A fire ignited the Silver Leaf Forest, and dozens of miles away, it was already a scene of wildfire all over the mountains.

Cole and Peake hadn't thought of these things at this time, and the two of them were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Sask with puzzled eyes.

"Alberto?"

Seeing a familiar figure in the ranks of the mercenary group, Cole couldn't help but shout - Alberto and another guard from the City Lord's Mansion had already peeked out of the crowd.

They were old acquaintances with Cole and Pique, and they never had to say a few words when they met—Alberto's face squeezed out a few ugly smiles, saying that they were smiling rather than crying.

Sask rode on his horse and had entered the town.

No one stopped him, and the entire team of the "Sky Wind" mercenary group followed him closely, and when his back gradually disappeared into the other side of the street, Alberto came to Cole and Pique's side, and whispered in a low voice:

"They set a fire."

After speaking, he pointed his finger in the direction of the Silver Leaf Forest, "We were ordered to stop the arrival of the Knights of Talen, and Mr. Melville said that putting a fire in the forest would serve the same purpose. ”

"Ahh

Hearing what Alberto said, Cole and Peake almost didn't scream.

Silver Leaf Forest, located west of Silver Leaf Town. This is a wide and stretching area, and the name of Silver Leaf Town is precisely because of this forest-

The forest is rich in production, and many of the adventurers who come to or are stationed in the taverns in the town, including the local residents, depend on the output of this forest for their livelihoods.

Hunt wild beasts for meat, fur, herbs, and more.

As the town's tax collector, Cole knows a lot about these things, because they happen to be a big part of the town's taxes.

Silver Leaf Forest, it is not too much to say that it is the property of Lord Earl.

How dare they?

Cole felt more and more that he should report the matter to the Earl at once.

After the "Sky Wind" entered the town, it did not stay for long. Soon, the sheriff Pique received the news from his soldiers, and they walked along the main street, straight through, and then headed in the direction of the city of Ensada.

What are they going to do?

Pique also had questions.

Combined with what Alberto had just said, they found that things were moving in an unpredictable direction.

……

"Mr. Gross, the sunset is beautiful today."

In Gray Rabbit Village, on a hill in the village, Miss Mage Radia and Gross stood side by side, looking at the red sky and sighed.
