Early the next morning, the caravan departed again.

The journey was calm and peaceful, and once again made people feel drowsy. Maybe it was because of the crazy battle in the previous two days, the surrounding demonic beast community was consumed, but in short, the whole morning's journey was extremely peaceful. Ling Key and Aiolos, two people who had been on duty all night, even slept peacefully in the car.

The atmosphere in the team gradually eased, and although there were casualties in the previous two days of fighting, this was the norm in Operation Wilderness. The adventurers in the party are all veterans and have long been accustomed to this.

In fact, the old Dakker who had calmed down all night had given up the idea of chasing down the rebel who snatched the crystal yesterday. After all, the "Armor Collector", the boss of the Dark Star Alliance, appeared in the enemy's lineup, even if it was just a puppet clone, it was far beyond the scope of the "caravan" to deal with - to deal with enemies at this level, at least the top 36-star witchers of the alliance must be involved! What's more, for the time of last night, the enemy had long since known where to flee, and there was no need to hope that they would be able to catch up with them.

So what the caravan did today was to expand the patrol area and confirm that the surrounding demonic beasts had been wiped out - with this information, the road passing through this area would become the busiest trade route in the country in the next few months. Whether it's business or travel, people will make the most of this dark vacuum.

On a more optimistic note, the Alliance and Kingdom armies will take the opportunity to expand the front line one step further and further expand the field of human security.

With all this figured out, the caravan's slight casualties this time can be regarded as worth the money.

Coupled with the fact that "that jewel" was safe and sound, Old Dakker was in a much better mood.

At this moment, I felt something suddenly pass through the corner of my eye. Old was instantly alert: "What person! ”

He swung out his knife with his empty hand, although he did not draw the knife, but the air blade he cut out was still majestic and domineering, and he slashed through the bushes on the side of the road.

A gray-robed figure quickly jumped backwards as it screamed, "Stop! Don't attack! ”

"What the hell is a sneaky guy doing here!" Immediately, three heavy machine guns were aimed at the gray-robed man, and the commander of the front shouted loudly, "Are you hiding there to sneak up on us!" ”

"What a joke!" The gray-robed man immediately retorted, and the voice coming from under the dust mask covering his face was a little dull, with a little metallic friction-like texture, "I'm here first, okay?" Seeing so many cars rushing over, of course they have to hide, who knows if it will be a bandit raider or something......"

"We are a caravan of travelers." Old Dekker stepped forward, "Who are you, and why did you come to the depths of the wilderness alone?" ”

The gray-robed man was reluctant to explain, which made it even more suspicious. The whole team became nervous and subconsciously entered a state of imminent battle.

Feeling the murderous aura coming to his face, the gray-robed man was so frightened that he jumped back again: "Hey! Don't be nervous, don't shoot! I said no...... I'm a lone adventurer, a 'Torch Bearer', and the reason I'm here is, of course, for the sake of the Torch Ruins! ”

"There are still such guys......" Hearing what he said, the people in the convoy sighed strangely.

The so-called "Torch Bearer" is the name of this type of person for himself. But now, to others, it's just a mix of "archaeologists", scavengers, and daydreamers.

Twenty years ago, in 1180, the Knights of the Flame of the sixth star of the Alliance's Twelve Heavenly Stars were attacked by a demon army that had not been encountered in two hundred years, and may even be the most powerful demon army in history. After two days and three nights of fierce fighting, before the reinforcements of the alliance and the kingdom arrived, this only two remaining knights in history, together with his station, the large city "Flame City", were broken by the demons, slaughtered the city, and wiped out the entire army!

Since then, this huge order of knights, which has lasted for thousands of years, has become history.

Because that battle was so tragic and too sudden, why the Abyss Demon Realm would go crazy and attack the Knights of the Flame is still a mystery to this day.

As the most powerful armed force in the past, the Knights of the Flame fell just as suddenly, and even many of the hole cards that were hidden in the snow were wiped out before they could be used.

So after that, rumors began to spread about the "Treasure of the Knights of the Flames", and many people firmly believed that the Knights of the Torch had left behind endless wealth, powerful power inheritance, and even held the secret of being able to defeat the demons and save the world!

So for twenty years, there have been various people and organizations looking around for the remains of the Order. Among them, the most famous, the largest, and the most powerful group of people is the "revolutionary army" led by Princess Youli ten years ago. They even managed to find the rift in the abyss that the Knights of the Flame were guarding at the beginning, and then went on an expedition to the Demon Realm!

Of course, later people also learned of the disastrous defeat of the "revolutionary army". The result was similar to that of the Knights of the Flame - nearly total annihilation. Since then, the world's enthusiasm for the so-called "Torch Treasure" has plummeted, and it has been rare to see the "Torch Inheritor" in the past two years. At present, most of the remaining so-called "inheritors of the fire" are just speculators who want to make profits from excavating the ruins of the Knights of the Torch, and to put it bluntly, they are "tomb robbers".

But in this way, they also somewhat understood the reason why the gray-robed man was reluctant to explain - it must be that this guy has already discovered something, and he doesn't want to be robbed of the treasure he found!

Moreover, in addition, the Traveler's House is also a studio that specializes in exploration and excavation of ruins - because they are not short of money, they like to take on some complex but low-paying archaeological excavation tasks, which can be regarded as the main competitor of the "Torch Bearer", or the official kind.

"Forget it, we're not interested in the ruins you found," Old Dakker shook his head, then remembered yesterday's encounter with the Dark Star Alliance, and asked casually, "...... We're hunting down some rebels though, do you have any clues? ”

The gray-robed man hesitated again, and after a long while, he reluctantly said, "If you say those powerful guys...... I did see them stationed in the fort to the west. ”

And that fortress was once an advance base for the Knights of the Flame. According to the gray-robed man, it was because he found that someone was stationed in it that he did not dare to enter the treasure hunt, and had to wander around the neighborhood, waiting for the gang to leave.

Now that the news is provided to the traveler caravan, there is more or less the intention of driving the tiger and the wolf in it.

Old Dekker naturally wouldn't believe all of his words, but he didn't have to worry about what tricks the other party was playing. Semi-forcedly, he pulled the gray-robed man into the walking cart to lead the way, and the convoy adjusted its direction and headed west.

The fort can be seen in less than half an hour. Old ordered to stop on the spot, and then approached on foot.

Half of the guards were left to guard the vehicles, and the adventurers naturally set out to hunt for treasure...... No, it's to destroy the rebels!

The gray-robed people who kept muttering and complaining all the way also joined the attacking team, and the wealthy traveler caravan was fine, presumably people would not look at this little bit of money, but the group of adventurers with golden eyes around them were different, looking at their greedy appearance, they were sorry for the name of adventurers if they didn't pluck their feathers!

The gray-robed man hung at the end of the line in pieces, and cursed in a low voice to the strong men in front of him to step on the trap first. However, he also knew that this fortress was a serious military base, and it was used to station the witchers of the Knights, so how could there be any traps in it?

But then again, there was already a group of people stationed in it before, and it is difficult to say whether they would do something to the fortress...... Anyway, after entering the fortress, there will be a fierce battle, and then there will be a chance to fish in troubled waters!
