Following the gaze of Sask and the others, Anna turned her head and smiled slightly.

If "reinforcements" are defined as mercenaries or Ensada's infantry legions, there is naturally no shadow, but since she is here, it is not as simple as going out by chance.

"Are you worried?"

She looked at Sask and Melville, and the man named "Alberto" next to her deliberately took a few steps closer, and she also showed a very friendly smile and said—

The lines of her cheeks were full and rounded, and on either side of her mouth, there were two shallow dimples, just an ordinary smile, and the extraordinary charm displayed made a man on the other side a little stunned.

The deceased didn't have much interest in women, and it was Alberto who was in a daze.

"Lord Anna, Taron's Iris Knights, I think their great strength will be a big trouble for us."

Alberto, one of Count Locke Lambert's bodyguards, was sent to the Silver Leaf Forest for this war.

In the cold winter after this New Year's sacrifice, although there were many reluctances in his heart, for the sake of this high-quality job, he still followed the handsome mercenary captain beside him all the way out of Ensada City.

They had just received information, news from the Lynx Mercenary Regiment—

One of the two most elite knights of Talen, the Iris Knights, as the vanguard, rushed along the area from the Flower Field to the Silver Leaf Forest.

The exact number is ominous, and the leader of the team is from the Wolf family.

Alberto probably guessed that this tentative vanguard could not be led by Count Wolf Savalen Wolf himself, and most likely, it would be the hateful little bald man.

This is the Earl's private name for the heir to the title of Earl of Talon. Of course, since what happened to Princess Samantha's northward trip to Nogo, the title has shifted from the dark to the open.

Now that the two sides have become enemies, naturally there is no politeness.

He saw the woman's eyes in front of him flowing, the sparkle in the pupils seemed to have a special magic, and on that extremely beautiful face, the smile gradually changed into a relaxed and flat expression-

Although the forces in the Ensada region have been weak since the "Kirisong War", the resourcefulness of Lord Anna has become a belief for them.

It's a war.

To be precise, it was a war between nobles.

The purpose of the war determines the extent and means of the war, and the two counts of Tarun and Karthus knew this, and Locke Lambert and the woman who had now come to the Silver Leaf Forest knew this very well.

Those despicable and shameful fellows did not intend to violently destroy the prosperous Ensada region, but tried to force Count Lambert into submission by force.

So, at Anna's careful suggestion, the task of sniping the enemy was completed by these mercenaries from Malve-

After a long time of contact with Locke Lambert, Anna had already discovered that the count was not a man of determination, and that if his hoplites were to be defeated by the Knights of Talen, his resolve to resist would be shaken.

And that's exactly what Anna doesn't want to see.

Her face was covered with delicate light makeup, her thin willow-like eyebrows were stretched, and between those red and gorgeous lips were white and neat teeth, which were like flawless pearls—

Anna was in the direction of the sun, and standing beside her, she could see a faint soft golden glow on her cheeks, the tip of her nose, and her teeth.

She took off her white bowler hat, and the cool breeze blowing from the direction of the silver-leaf forest made her long black hair flutter in the wind.

Anna's gaze swept over the orderly mercenary camp, and then landed in front of her—

The makeshift camp, consisting of three half-men tall wooden fences and a few tents, stood right in the middle of the road, and the Knights of Tarun would have to pass through if they wanted to approach the Ensada region.

Detours?

This choice naturally exists, but everyone knows very well that the significance of this knight team as a vanguard force is to rush, and if you delay too much time, you will lose your original purpose.

Turning the war into a tug-of-war was Anna's plan. When, after some warmth, she leaned on Count Lambert's chest and spoke of this arrangement, the Lord Count nodded with satisfaction, and then entrusted Anna with all the matters related to the war.

In Ensada City, everyone thought that this beautiful woman was just a weak woman who was helpless, but at this time, Sask and Melville, who were standing on the sidelines, did not have such a naïve idea-

Unbeknownst to them, Anna was actually a witch. In mainland folklore, witches are often known for playing with people's hearts and spying on the future-

Witches' special abilities often come at a cost. According to the records, those famous witches in history are undoubtedly not ugly and mutilated, which is also the price of peeping into fate.

However, from the outside, Anna seems to have nothing to do with witches.

Several people were standing in the camp at this time, and the surroundings were quiet, and no one cared too much, when a cat with pure black fur ran out of the carriage, walked lightly and silently, and jumped into Anna's arms—

Anna's palm subconsciously stroked the soft fur of the black cat, it tilted its head, the triangular pointed ears were still erect, but a pair of eyes had already narrowed in the sun, and a cold light in the vertical pupil was as sharp as a thin needle.

With the intuition of a lich, Melville seemed to sense that there was something slightly different about the black cat, just something exact, but he couldn't say—

Lich and mage have many similarities, most of them are some scholars with a strong spirit of exploration and research, usually in this case, they don't mind doing some "research", but since this black cat is Anna's pet, he completely let go of this thought.

In addition to the degree to which witches can spy on the future, their special abilities generally vary from person to person-

Anna stood among the two round tents in the makeshift camp and looked up at the sky. Her gaze was deliberately missed by a few people around her, but if you pay close attention, you can see that she has closed her eyes.

As a witch, her foreknowledge ability told her that they would not lose this battle quickly, but as for the future development of events, it seemed to be hidden in a heavy fog, and she also saw the figure of a young mountain folk looming in the fog-

Eventually, the mountain man gripped his sword, then stabbed her in the chest with a sinister grin, and with a terrible scream, she fell to the ground like a sack full of grain.

How can it be?

The mountain people? Who is he?

Anna was well aware of her special abilities, and she couldn't believe that in Nogo, in the north of the Elantre Kingdom, there would be a little-known person in her pupil of fate.

Sask took out his pocket watch, and at this time the surroundings were very quiet, and the slight "click" sound of the hands moving on the metal dial was clearly audible, and he glanced at it expressionlessly, and said to Anna on the side:

"My lord, it's two o'clock in the afternoon, and the time left for us to set is only three hours at most."
