The eastern sky was already white, but the morning in the mountains was always later than in the plains, and in the still dark valleys, the fugitives could see the road beneath their feet.

It's not far from the city gates, and when you look back, the tall gates still seem to be close at hand.

Walking at the back of the line, Diego suddenly remembered something.

"Abirton, how long can this sheep spell last?" He looked at the mage not far away and asked in a low voice.

"It won't be long before it expires." The mage glanced back at him and replied with some confusion.

Diego wanted to say something more, but at that moment, there was a sound of fists and kicks coming from the direction of the city gate, accompanied by a scream.

"You want to eat me! Damn, you want to eat me! ”

Diego was secretly relieved.

In the midst of this angry curse, the guardians seemed to be awakened all at once. The sounds of beatings, dissuasions, schadenfreude laughter, and the shouting of officers mingled into a pot of boiling porridge inside the gate, but strangely enough, no one opened the gate and looked this way, and Diego did not believe that everyone in the whole company did not know what was happening.

From the belated arrival of the "Iron Wall" Legion, to the slumber of the remaining companies, and now letting them go, Diego vaguely wondered what this was for, and it was clear that Zerhart, the commander of the Iron Wall, did not want to fight with Tyran? Fording is an enemy, and in the current Hearthh Valley, not everyone is on the same page as Ethanlien.

They hurried along the valley until they reached the watchtower in the middle of the canyon when they heard a faint sound of running from behind. Ethan Lion finally knew where they were going and chased after them.

"Guys, keep it up!" Tyran shouted, and the team suddenly ran faster.

Diego planted several traps on the side of the road, hoping to slow down his pursuers somewhat. It took him some time, but he activated the guardianship of the cheetah's soul and soon caught up with the group.

"How far are they?" Seeing Diego catching up, Tyran asked as he ran.

"Not far away, I heard the hoofs of horses, and they sent out their cavalry, and I am afraid that they will catch up with us before we run out of the valley." Diego said worriedly. This rescue operation has long since deviated from his original plan of sneaking in and getting out quickly, and has turned into a huge escape, and he is now a little unsure of what to do.

However, this anxiety disappeared as soon as they saw the watchtower in the middle of the canyon.

Because he saw Tirio? Fording was standing in the open space in front of the watchtower, looking at them with an excited expression.

"Welcome back, Tyran!" Tirio said. He smiled and squinted at his own son, who was at the head of the line.

Tyran's tears welled up in his eyes. From the time he learned that his father was not dead, he had imagined countless times what it would be like to see his father, and he had also thought countless times about what he should say when he saw him, but at this moment, he couldn't say a word, he choked up and walked towards his father, and then opened his strong arms.

"Well done, my boy." Tirio said with tears in his eyes, and he took Tyran into his arms and slapped his strong back, "Well done." ”

This is not the first time that Tirio has seen this as a blessing from the Light, and although he was once banished for being found guilty, the Light has allowed him to have such a remarkable son as compensation. His mother, Carandra, taught him well, and the kindness and generosity, bravery and determination of this sturdy young man illustrated Carlandra's success. Even though Calandra had died many years ago and had fallen into the arms of the Light, Tirio could still see her in their son.

Everyone else was interested in keeping their distance from the father and son, who had been reunited for a long time, and Diego stood a short distance behind them and looked around.

Surrounded by a busy crowd of people cutting down trees in the distance, lifting the trunks of shaved branches to the clearing, and cleverly crafting the wood into tools, Diego saw the rudiments of the carts and siege ladders, which might not be long before they were fully crafted.

"Hey, man, you're back!" A gruff voice suddenly rang out behind him.

Diego jerked his head back and saw the orc Nazaire? The Blood Spear was standing not far behind him, carrying a branched tree trunk on his shoulder.

"If you don't come back, we're going to go in and get you out!" In the thick foliage behind the orc, another voice spoke. It seemed to be the voice of the dwarf Brian.

"Hey, guys," Diego greeted them with a smile, "Looks like it doesn't work!" ”

"Well done, man!" The orc shook his shoulders and left the trunk still on the ground. Behind him, the dwarf peeked out of the foliage, spitting out the leaves in his mouth. It's hard to figure out how he managed to carry a piece of wood with the orcs, who were nearly half the difference in height.

"Hey, I said, the next time I lift the log, I'll ask to go ahead." Brian complained dissatisfiedly, "I can't even see the road in the back!" ”

"I'm afraid we don't need to do this anymore!" Diego said jokingly, seeing Dezko and Masrae walking this way as well. Apparently, they also discovered the existence of their partners.

The companions exchanged pleasantries again. Diego told the two Bloodspear about their journey, and the orc regretted it, if he had known that the trip was so exciting, he would have had to go along.

"When did the Man of the Silver Dawn come? How many people did they come? Looking at the chaotic crowd, Diego asked.

"They arrived within two hours of your entry, and while you were making a noise inside, we took the opportunity to raid the watchtower."

"What about the Scarlet Crusaders stationed in the watchtowers?" Diego asked curiously, he didn't see the men.

"Tied up in the tower, I want to say just kill them, but Tirio disagrees, he says that they are also qualified warriors and can contribute to the war against the Scourge Legion!" The blood spear flattened its mouth and said disapprehantly.

"Hey, Diego, come over here!" Just then, Diego suddenly heard someone shouting his name, he turned his head to follow the sound, and saw Tirio? Ferding was waving at him, and it seemed that he and Tyran had finished talking about father and son, and were about to get down to business.

He strode over there.

"Tyran, come, I'll introduce you to your ......" Tirio enthusiastically grabbed his arm and introduced him to Tyran, but his words were rudely interrupted by Diego.

"I'm sure Tyran already knows who I am!" Diego said with a smile, and he shook his head at Tirio with a very light gesture that he didn't want to reveal his illegitimate identity, at least not yet—not for Tyran? It's a good time for Ferdin's "big surprise", because his identity represents Tirio's disloyalty to Tyran's mother Kalandra, and there is no doubt that this is undoubtedly a huge blow to Tyran, who has been reunited with his father for a long time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a bolt from the blue. For the current situation, a collapsed Tyran? Ferding was nothing short of a disaster.

But Tirio was clearly mistaken, and he glanced at Diego with some gloom, thinking that he had not forgiven himself.

"What are we going to do next?" Diego hurriedly spoke, shifting the conversation to business.

"It's time to retreat, we've achieved our goal of getting Tyran out," Tirio quickly regained his sense of judgment as soon as he got down to business, "Silver Dawn doesn't want to start a war with the Scarlet Crusaders, and while we have differences, it's not irreconcilable, especially when it comes to the common enemy of the Scourge Legion. ”

Tyran also nodded, although he had broken with Ethanlien, it didn't mean that he wanted to fight to the death with his teacher.

"No, I don't think so!" Just under the surprised gazes of the two Ferdin, Diego objected categorically.
