Act V. Joint

In the morning light, when the first rays of sunlight leaked out of the morning glow, the originally lively night sky suddenly became silent, the stars disappeared, and the hanging silver moon Eustia also sank down the mountain, in a silence, suddenly, a birdsong was heard, and then, as if as an opportunity, the whole world became noisy.

The murmuring of the stream, the chirping of birds soaring through the sky, the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves of the trees, and the sound of the crumbling of the trees, all became the background of the early morning, and the main theme was the sound of the horses' hooves and footsteps of the troops.

Shiloh rode on a pure white warhorse and looked back at the long procession, the main peaks of the Pamir Mountains in the distance had become quite small, and they were now at the transition between the Mordred Plateau and the Swamps, and the surrounding scenery had changed from a snowy field to a basin of lakes, streams, and bare rocks.

The procession was like ants, and the slender queue stretched to the end of the horizon, and Shiloh breathed a sigh of relief before turning around.

"We have entered the territory of Cainzburg, and it is believed that we will soon encounter the scouts of Prince Leotis."

Shiloh said as if muttering to himself, and beside him was Princess Erifels' black pony, and Her Royal Highness the princess on a war horse was distracted by the dawn sun, her blonde hair shining like a magic particle that was escaping.

"There is no trace of the Wendland army in this area, we can rest assured for the time being."

Princess Eliefils nodded, she didn't seem to have slept well last night, faintly visible slight bags under her eyes, Shiloh understood this feeling, facing her brother who she hadn't seen for many years, of course, Her Royal Highness couldn't be uneasy at all.

It's just that he hoped that Prince Leotis would be a little more reasonable, and understand the current situation of Aster, and understand his own current situation.

Shiloh had seen many nobles in his previous life, who were still only concerned about themselves in times of crisis, and they did not form a strong sense of state and nation, so they abandoned their territories and their people when Wendland attacked, and Baron Links of Merrill was the most typical example.

"The eastern part of Zedi is quite peaceful, but the western part should have started a war with Wendland, after all, in that front, Astel was the first to be broken."

Shiloh went on to say that the western part of Astel was close to the Forest of Eternal Night and the Wall of the Sky, a reckless land that had not yet been cultivated, and that the monsters of the forest would often sneak out to attack the merchants and civilians who passed by, so the nobles there had little income and could not organize much military confrontation, and the commander of Wendland, who was in charge of that front, was the rare Durant in a century. It is not difficult to imagine that Sidenia will be swept directly.

According to his estimates, they would not encounter Wendland's attack on Zedi until a week at the earliest, and the Third Legion would have plenty of time to prepare.

Just as Shiloh pondered whether to place another minefield around the Keynzburg, a whistle sounded from the front of the group.

This is one of the special means of communication for the Northern Rangers, and it is quite convenient to transmit messages over short and medium distances, in modern parlance, it is equivalent to broadcasting.

"Did you meet someone from Keynzburg?"

Princess Eliefils saw Viscount Wellington's soothing expression when she heard the whistle, and she sped up slightly.

"It seems that yes, the identity has been confirmed."

Viscount Wellington nodded, looked ahead, and saw only a rider speeding down the slope, dressed in the military uniform of Astelle, but with a style that seemed to be different from that of the Northern Rangers.

"This is ......"

Viscount Wellington frowned, he had thought that he had only encountered the scouts of Keynzburg, but the people who came over were obviously not ordinary soldiers.

"Hello, Lord Strass, Lord Wellington."

The first thing he saw was Vera Hill and Viscount Wellington, to whom he nodded and then Princess Ellifils.

"It's ...... Her Highness Elie Fils? ”

And Shiloh happened to see the man's appearance.

There are a little silver threads between the dark brown hair, a pair of light blue eyes like the lake in the Zedi, the man is not handsome, but he has a natural temperament, and his gestures exude a taste of an aristocratic gentleman.

"You ......"

Princess Eliefils obviously didn't expect the other party to recognize her so quickly, you must know that she has been dormant in the Trestan Fortress for many years, and she can recognize herself at first sight, except for the people close to her, probably only the courtship nobles who have attended the banquet in the fortress.

As the youngest member of the royal family, and at the same time the princess of the distant Terestan Fortress, Princess Eliefils is naturally coveted by the heirs of many archdukes, but fortunately, the original lord of the Trestan Fortress, Gelant. The Earl of Black also had a daughter sent to the royal capital, so Princess Eliefils was treated as his own by the Earl of Black and has been carefully protected.

"Ah, Her Royal Highness the Princess must not know me anymore, after all, when we met, Her Royal Highness the Princess was still living in the royal capital."

He smiled, not looking constrained by the status of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"I'm Gerala Hyde. Springfield, who was an attendant to His Royal Highness Leotis since childhood, used to have dinner together when we were children. ”

Thinking about it, Shiloh only recalled the identity of the man in front of him at this time.

Gera Hyde. Viscount Springfield, who should now be a silver mid-rank, was sent to Prince Leotis as an attendant since he was a child, and then came to the Kainz domain with the prince, although he has the title of viscount, but there is no fief, in the game, this viscount also died in the war with Prince Leotis, but there is nothing special about it.

"Hmm, I'm sorry, I might not be impressed......"

Princess Elifils naturally had no impression of the man she had only met as a child, and she smiled apologetically and replied softly.

"It doesn't matter, after all, it was a long time ago."

Geralhaid nodded with an understanding smile, then looked at Shiloh beside Princess Elifils.

"I would venture to ask, who is this?"

I don't know if it's an illusion, Shiloh feels that the other party seems to be a little more alert in the eyes of looking at him, but it's no wonder that in the war, you should be wary of any stranger, Shiloh quite understands the other party's thoughts,

"This is Shiloh. Ian Gray, the chaplain of the Fourth Legion, protected my escape from the Trestan Fortress. ”

Princess Eliefils explained, glancing at Shiloh out of the corner of her eye.

"Hello."

Geralhide didn't ask much, presumably having heard something from the letter, and he only nodded to Shiloh, and then looked at Princess Ellifils and Verahill.

"Your Royal Highness, Lord Strass, without further ado, let's go back to the castle before making plans."

"Is something going on?"

Verahill raised her eyebrows, she had sent someone to bring a text message to the defenders of Keynzburg, reporting the current situation and news about Her Royal Highness the Princess, so Geralheid came to connect, but looking at the other party's appearance, it seems that there is something wrong with Keynzburg.

"Well, we'll talk about it when we get to Keynzburg, but it might be a problem for Lord Strass."

Speaking in a slightly hurried tone, Geralhide bowed his head to Verahir again. (To be continued.) )
