"Brother, the person you want to meet has seen it, and we are leaving? Where to go? Jesse asked, tilting his head.

"To the Forest Country!" Higg looked blankly at Shante's departing back and sighed.

"Marshal? You turned out to be the commander of the first army? Lu Fasi had an incredulous expression, "If you don't go back to the army, what are you going to do in the Forest Country?" ”

"I'm tired of being in the army, come out and relax, can't I?" Higg smiled, "There are still some preparations to go to the Forest Country, since Davis has business dealings with the Forest Country, then we will blend into the caravan, so that it will be easier to pass the level, and save a lot of trouble on the road." ”

"But my father's revenge has not yet been avenged!" Jesse said in disappointment, "Didn't you say, can that person help me, why did you quarrel?" ”

"He'll be back!" Higg said, "Revenge? Do you know who your enemies are? Your real enemy is this troubled world, and it is also the enemy of many children like you, only by calming this troubled world can you calm your heart again! A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late! Don't worry, we will take revenge slowly! ”

If you want to go to the Forest Country, it is indeed the best way to go through Davis's business travel team, although the trip will be relatively slow, but now Higg is not too anxious to do anything, return to the Forest Country, and then go to Marishen to find the Blue Fairy Benjamin and them, so that he can make a big difference in the Forest Country.

Davis Zhuangzi is surrounded by widows and orphans of his father's comrades-in-arms, under the care and protection of Davis Zhuangzi, life is already very stable, there is no need for Higg to break this tranquility and make waves, just let that era become the past, to open up his own era. Whether it is Rogson, Snowlin, Davis, or those who died in battle, those who have no news, they all represent a bygone era, so let themselves and their descendants be free to make their own choices when the new era comes!

Davis's trade route was more complicated, but it was mainly between York City and Madea City, most of the goods transported from York City to Madea City were clothing, ornaments, handicrafts, wine, grain, etc., and the goods transported back from Madea City were fine iron, refined copper, animal skins, bacon, medicines, etc., complex and diverse, and the two cities were also full of their own shops.

Higg, who originally wanted to disrupt the rear of Arad in Yorktown, is now disheartened, with the Crusaders present, he is not worried that Shante will not do anything, besides, he himself has changed his mind, so that Yorktown can maintain a stable situation for the time being, which is more conducive to his own efforts in the Forest Country.

Davis did not object to Higg's idea of entering the Forest Country with his caravan, and although he was now the owner of the farm, most of the things had been handed over to Beverly and Owen, and he only ran a few surrounding villages behind the scenes.

Caravan preparation is a big deal in the first place, and generally speaking, very few caravans will travel to and from the road in this midsummer season, first, the weather is too hot, and second, this season is not the harvest season, and it is generally not on the road until autumn, when there is a large circulation of goods.

Therefore, the scale of this caravan formed by Owen was not very large, only seventy or eighty wagons of goods were transported to the city of Madeya, and even so, Owen prepared for more than ten days to complete.

Even though he had lived in Zhuangzi for nearly a month, Higg was not idle in Zhuangzi, in addition to examining Davis's body, he would occasionally go around the surrounding villages, or shut up in his room with Lufaxi, and delve into various magic skills, especially the magic of the light system.

On the way back to Zhuangzi from the village, Hig and Jesse met Shante, who came to him without saying a word, threw one of them to Higg with two broadswords in his hand, and said: "When I was in the Valley of Flowers, you were not my opponent, but in the past few years, you have grown very fast!" I lost, proving that you were right, and that the Crusaders were at your command of the actions of the Crusaders; I won, you stay in Camillo to assist me for half a year! ”

"What if I'm not interested?" Higg laughed, "Win or lose, I'll get involved in the affairs of the Crusaders, and both of your conditions are a trap for me!" ”

"You'll be interested!" "Your thirst for power has never ended, and you know the power of this crusader!" ”

Higg shook his head and said, "You're wrong, my lust for power is to accomplish my goals, not to endlessly take power!" I'm not interested in the affairs of the Crusaders, but I'll duel with you anyway, and if I win, you can help me investigate a matter! ”

"What if you lose?" Shante asked.

"You can't win me!" Higg looked at the broadsword in his hand, then threw it aside casually, and said, "I lost, I promise you all the conditions!" Your crusaders' broadswords are too heavy for me to use! With that, he pulled out the spiral horn from the Divine Walking Boots.

The two sides no longer had any extra words, and at the same time quickly stepped forward and clashed together.

In just one turn, Higg was lying on the ground, Shante's sword pointed at Higg's throat, and the broadsword slashed across Higg's shirt, revealing the magical armor, which was a distinct sword mark on its chest.

"You've lost!" Shante said with a smile, "You have been doing the position of deputy head of the crusader for half a year!" ”

Higg, who was lying on the ground, did not look depressed at all, and said to Shante with a smile: "In the Valley of Flowers, the two of us compete, you will always have the upper hand, I am not your opponent!" But I once told you that if it's life and death, you don't have a chance! Your swordsmanship may be better than mine, but you must be the one who dies! ”

Shante was about to speak, suddenly felt a cold eyebrow, and then wiped it with his left hand, a bad premonition made him slowly put his left hand flat in front of him, and then opened his palm, and then he was shocked, his palm was stained with blood.

Shante's face was like ashes, and from beginning to end, he always felt that he was stronger and more noble than Higglai, but now, he had to admit that he had lost, and he had lost shamelessly: "You won, tell me about your bet!" ”

Higg pushed aside the sword that Shanter pointed at his throat, wiped the blood from the top of the spiral horn, stood up, and said, "The druids have sent people to Yorktown, I need to know their information, the more detailed the better, and give me an answer in three days!" ”

"You're going to get the druids in trouble?" Shante asked in surprise.

"It's none of your business!" Higg said, "Just give me the information!" ”

Shante said: "I have to warn you, they are dangerous! ”

"Oh, so you've looked into it?"

"The lives of the seven Crusader guards, plus the exposure of the informant in the Yorktown Council Chamber!" Shante smiled bitterly, "The price paid for finding out the intelligence of these druid missions!" I advise you not to mess with them! ”

"Tell me what you know!" Higg ignored Shanter's persuasion, and instead seemed surprised that Shante took the initiative to investigate the druid.

"They are the emissaries of the pseudo-forest nation, or the druid faction, which has formed an alliance with Arad to divide the forest nation of Cross. Arad plans to send his own Fifth War Zone to fight, so he sends an emissary to negotiate a joint dispatch of troops! Do you know who the messenger is this time? Balaman is one of the four great druids! ”

"When do they plan to send troops to the Forest Country?" Higg asked.

Shante shook his head and said, "How can we find this kind of top-secret information?" But I know that Balamane is going to return to China in the near future, because the druids will also have to be prepared, so I think they agreed to send troops at least after Balamans returns! I know that you have interests in the Forest Country, so I don't plan to let Simeone send troops smoothly, I will try to sabotage his plan to send troops in the rear! ”

"Simeone?" Higg asked curiously.

Shante said: "Gattuso seems to be very resistant to participating in the forest country, so Simeone is the recently replaced marshal of the Fifth War Zone, in his forties, cruel, but thoughtful, deeply respected by Arad, not to be underestimated!" Many of our crusaders were initially suppressed by him, which is why I wanted you to stay in York and help me deal with Simeone! ”

"Your operations in Camillo Province have been put to rest for a moment!" Higg said, "Don't destroy Simeone's plan to send troops, on the contrary, cooperate with him and let him send troops smoothly!" ”

"Why?" Shante wondered in surprise, "You've made me do nothing for months?" ”

"Because I need Simone to send troops to the Forest Country, and you need it too!" Higg laughed, "You must let the arrogant Simeone think that his rear is stable, and send all the main forces to send troops, so that your crusaders can make a difference in the province of Camillo." After he crosses the border and enters the battlefield, you can cause trouble for him from the rear, and even take the opportunity to capture a few cities, and Simeone himself will be in a dilemma in the forest country! General Shante, I'm just giving you advice, you can not listen to me, continue to obey Her Majesty's harassment policy, and do something big or small in the province of Camillo! ”

Shante was silent, the order he received from the queen was indeed to harass the enemy's rear, but he didn't let him attack the city! If Simeone hibernated for months without any action before he sent out the army, how could he explain it to the queen?

"I'm not interested in this game of chess in Camillo right now, so don't expect me to stay!" "I'll be out of here in a few days!" Higg said. But, Shante, I warn you, if anything goes wrong with this Zhuangzi after I leave, whether it is your subordinates acting privately, or because others covet this Zhuangzi, I will count it on your head! ”

After Higg finished speaking, he greeted Jesse and walked towards Zhuangzi, leaving only the lonely figure of Shante in the sunset.

Shante suddenly asked loudly behind him, "Higg, are we still friends?" ”

"That depends on what you do in Camillo!" ”
