Red Stone Fortress in the northern part of the Kingdom of Northbod.

Located on the banks of the Tara River, the Redstone Fortress is a cliff-built fortress that is primarily fed by monsters from the Wonder Canyon of the North and the Annarinal Crater.

The Redstone Fortress is one of the human strongholds in the north, across the river from the Annarinar Crater, and was built very close to the north, which makes the fortress very "conspicuous" to the eyes of monsters from the north. Every month on a demonic night, monsters from the north swarm here, rushing like moths to a fire to this fortified fortress built on red sandstone!

But since the Church sent a pioneer lord to Miracle Canyon a few months ago, the number of monsters from the north has begun to dwindle.

At first, the commander and lord of the fortress, Baron Heinrich, thought that because Miracle Canyon had an extra stronghold and attracted the attention of the monsters, there were fewer monsters attacking the fortress, but as time went by, there were fewer and fewer monsters attacking the redstone fortress every month, and in recent months, even the monsters of the Annarinar Crater began to stop attacking the fortress! Faced with such a situation, even the most dull commander can sense that something is wrong.

Something unknown is happening in the north!

Baron Heinrich, the commander of the fortress, who was aware of the anomaly, reported to the capital while organizing a team to quietly go across the Tara River to investigate. The report to the capital has not yet returned, but the soldiers who went to the north to scout have brought back shocking news: the monsters no longer seem to be confined by their nests, and have begun to appear where they should not be!

Baron Heinrich didn't know whether such a change was good or bad, but as the commander of the fortress, he had to be mentally prepared for the worst.

Baron Heinrich kept sending his soldiers across the river to reconnoitre, and at the same time reported the situation to the royal family again. And while the Baron was anxiously waiting, a strange procession was crossing the Tara River.

Two bipedal wyverns carried a wagon and two humans across the Tara River.

After dropping the wagon onto the road by the river, the Wyvern returned to the mountains across the Tara River......

"Alright, you're all set." Green straightened up the tattered leather armor on his body and said to Chikage, who was standing behind him, "From now on, I am the descendant of a nobleman who ran away from home to become a merchant, and you are my maid and bodyguard. Remember? ”

"Yes, master."

"Alright, let's go!" Green walked over to the carriage, grabbed the carriage's bracket, lifted it up, and pulled the carriage in the direction of the Redstone Fortress.

Qianying looked at Green in the cart and hesitated for a moment: "That master, it's better for me to come." ”

"No, I don't. I'm much stronger now than I used to, so there's no problem with that. ”

Green pulls the carriage and heads with Thousand Shadows in the direction of the Redstone Fortress.

When the Silvermoon begins to disappear, Grimm and Thousand Shadows finally arrive at the Redstone Fortress.

Built on a steep cliff, the Redstone Fortress is a fully enclosed fortress building with only a very narrow mountain path to ascend the mountain, and there are also a large number of arrow towers and magic towers for flying monsters.

As Green approached the fort, the gates of the castle had just opened.

The guards guarding the door yawned and appeared lazily at the door.

As Green approached the gate, a guard stopped him, "Who are you?" ”

"We're traveling merchants." Green spoke.

"Traveling Salesman?" The guard looked at Green, and then at the maid who was following behind Green, "The traveling merchant is traveling with the maid?" ”

"Any questions?"

The guard looked at the black-haired maid behind Green, then at Green, "You don't look like a traveling merchant at all. ”

"Haha~ You're not the first person to say that."

The guard looked at the carriage behind Green, "What about the horses of the carriage?" ”

"Because there was a monster attack on the road, the chocobo pulling the cart was killed by the monster, so I had to use manpower." Green spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.

"What are you transporting?"

"Grain." Green opened the canvas on the wagon, "Wheat just harvested." ”

On the wagon were burlap sacks filled with wheat.

The food in Miracle Canyon has already begun to produce, and Green is traveling through the mountains to the Kingdom of Northbod this time, just to know what the price of food is on this side of the kingdom.

The guard walked over, examined it, and waved at Green, "Go inside." ”

"Okay." Green pulled the carriage and walked towards the gate.

As Chikage passed in front of the guard, a wicked smile suddenly appeared on the guard's face, "Wait! You haven't checked yet. The guard said as he held out his hand to Chikage's ass.

At this moment, the figure of the Thousand Shadows suddenly shook, and then ......

"Huh!"

With a flash of silver light, Thousand Shadows directly cut off the guard's hand!

"Ahh ~" The guard clutched his severed arm and screamed.

The sudden change made another guard who was watching the excitement stunned.

"Enemy attack!" The guard roared, quickly picking up his spear and pointing it at Grimm.

The guards responded to Green's hostile behavior and instantly turned on a certain brain switch of Thousand Shadows!

"Anyone who tries to harm his master must die!"

Thousand Shadows' eyes shone with cold killing intent!

In the next moment, the girl turned into a black butterfly and directly cut off the guard's head.

At the same time, a group of guards poured out of the city gate with weapons, but before they could attack, Thousand Shadows had already turned into a black shadow and took the initiative to kill them!

In the blink of an eye, blood flowed from the gate of the castle.

"Bastard!" A knight with a shield in his hand rushes towards the Thousand Shadows in anger!

Shield Charge!

I saw the knight rushing over like a heavy truck, and his indomitable momentum was terrifying.

In the face of the knight's charge, Chikage's figure twisted, flashing the knight's charge as if dancing, and then continued to slaughter other ordinary soldiers.

Green stood where he was, glanced at the guard who was trying to tease Chikage, then at the girl who was rampage through the crowd, silently pulled up the carriage, turned around, and ran away!

Let Qianying do this, and the business of the Redstone Fortress will obviously not be successful.

When Green leaves, the guards' hostility is concentrated on Thousand Shadows, and after killing the soldiers who had previously been hostile to Green, Thousand Shadows quickly broke away from the soldiers' entanglement and chased in the direction Green had left.

Looking at the girl who calmly left, the knight with a heavy shield glanced at the corpse on the ground, and got angry: "Bastard! Stop me! ”

With a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, the knight charged, chasing in the direction where the Thousand Shadows had left, as if wanting to avenge his men.

Facing the pestering knight, Chikage frowned slightly, suddenly stopped, and held the sword in front of him......

"Flash!"

A flash of silver flashed, and the girl appeared behind the knight, silently retracting her sword from its scabbard.

A few seconds later, the charging knight fell to the ground, and the body rolled down the narrow mountain path.

"Lord Will!" The guards on the hill exclaimed.

Ignoring the soldiers, Thousand Shadows turned and chased in the direction Green had left.
