In addition to the Griffin Kingdom, the Holy Griffon Empire also has a Holy See's St. Arno, and four Grand Duchies. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The four principalities are-

The Duchy of Harburg in the northwest, bordering Tularion, serves as a buffer state for the Empire and the Forest Elves, and also exists as a fortress.

The Duchy of Ironstone in the northeast, serving as a buffer state for the Empire and the Orcs of the Black Wasteland.

The Duchy of Tyre in the southeast is both a buffer against the orcs and a warning against the Ghost Valley on the southeastern peninsula.

The Buck Principality in the south borders the Nine Cities Federation of Mage Countries, guarding the southern border of the empire.

There are only three ways to get from Tyre to Tularion, taking a boat to the port city of Bevos on the Gulf of Akanna, passing through the disputed region of Kalava, or passing through the border of the Grand Duchy of Haburg.

Bevos is the territory of the Griffon Kingdom, and it is only a little closer to Harburg than to Harburg, and the Carava region is also part of the Griffon Kingdom, which is farther away and less secure.

Roger planned to cross the Harburg border, but fortunately he still had more money, and it was faster and safer to buy a carriage and walk all the way from the official road.

Because the official roads of the empire are all connected to big cities, and they are also trade routes, generally the creatures with a little intelligence in the wild do not dare to fish, otherwise it is only a matter of time before they are exterminated, so more villages and towns are gathered on the side of the official roads.

At noon, Roger and the others arrived in Stream City, where they put on the hood of their cloak and tried to hide themselves as much as possible.

Buying a carriage or something was quick, and Roger got a cart with two big black horses.

Originally, he wanted to use four horses because of the speed, but it would be too ostentatious to think about it on the road. Keep it low-key and slow down for a few days.

After thinking about it, Roger replaced the caravan with an older one.

They exited the city through the north gate, which was the only way to go in the direction of Barrington to the other principalities.

Amira sat in the carriage and Roger drove ahead. Half an hour later, Stream City was left far behind them.

The carriage galloped along the official road, and they could reach a small town by evening.

At night, although the monsters in the wild are not afraid to enter the official road, there are still bandits, these bandits specialize in guerrillas, and a few are related to the city guard.

Roger didn't want to take any chances, and just as he was estimating the time it would take to reach the town, a large number of crossbow bolts whizzed out of the grass on both sides of the official road.

The targets are two big black horses pulling the carriage.

A large number of crossbow bolts were shot into the body of the big black horse, and the two horses neighed and fell to the ground with a bang, only the air coming out, and there was no air coming in.

Light crossbow.

Roger's face froze, and as he jumped to the ground, his eyes swept in the direction where the crossbow bolt had come, and found that a large number of people were standing on the grass not far away, about forty of them.

"In broad daylight, these bandits are also blocking the road and robbing?"

Roger's heart is full of 10,000 grass and mud horses, this luck will not be so weak.

Although there were no pedestrians on the nearby official road, just Roger's carriage, the rule of the robbers was that they rarely moved during the day.

Because the businessmen will seize the handle and put pressure on the town hall, the city hall will have to send troops to encircle and suppress it. The bandits are also very smart.

If something happens at night, then you should be imprudent in your caravan, and what kind of road will you rush on a dark day.

The city hall will also make excuses, after all, bandits cannot be eliminated, and if you really want to encircle and suppress them, you may not be able to find people.

Whether or not to send people to encircle and suppress is often determined by the tolerance level of the city hall.

Roger took out his crossbow and kicked the caravan door open.

Amira was inside, and because the place was small, and the carriage suddenly overturned, she was lying on all fours on the floor, but she did not faint, she was not injured, and she got up on her feet.

The rangers have a very high physique, and their resistance to toxins and diseases is stronger than that of ordinary people, because they are active in the wild all year round, and they can't survive without a little physique.

Roger estimated that Amira's physique was no lower than his.

"Roger, we've been attacked, what should we do?" Amira was also very agile, and quickly climbed out of the caravan, took out a short bow, and leaned against the carriage with Roger.

In her hand, Amira is holding Brad's magic shortbow, which can increase the user's reaction speed, but Roger didn't identify it, and it is estimated that it can increase agility and attack speed.

Although the Shortbow has a short range and low lethality, and the Magic Shortbow is no exception, it is small and agile and inherently fast.

Those people were already twenty meters away.

"Shoot together, I'll cover, we'll pass through the forest."

Roger commanded, he estimated that it would be difficult to escape into the town. Although the bandits are also familiar with the wilderness, it is only for the area where they operate, and it cannot be compared with the profession of the rangers.

Although Roger is an assassin, after all, he has been training under Brad for so long, and he still has some ability to survive in the wild.

"Well, I'm not going to be soft."

Now that Roger is Emira's only relative, the elf girl naturally listens to him, and her tone is very resolute.

Three months ago, she had passed Brad's assessment and officially graduated as a beginner ranger, and after the last incident, she also knew that she couldn't be soft on these villains, otherwise the consequences would be serious.

Not only herself, but Roger will also be killed.

She didn't want to be alone, she had lost her adoptive parents, and she didn't want to lose Roger again.

"Okay, shoot."

Roger flashed to the side, and the crossbow was fired continuously, boom, the slight sound of two bowstrings, and the two people who rushed over fell directly to the ground, and after a few convulsions, there was no sound.

The people nearby were stunned, the power of this light crossbow was so great.

"They have heavy crossbows." One shouted in surprise.

And Amira's bow and arrows had already been shot, whooshing, and two feathered arrows flew out almost at the same time, which is a basic skill of a ranger archer with two arrows fired in unison.

Roger remembers that in order to officially graduate and become a ranger, this is also an ability that must be mastered, and many abilities in this world seem to be very similar to what Roger knew before.

Amira's two arrows were very efficient, and the target was the two people who rushed to the front, and the two of them didn't even make a dodge movement, and fell to the ground like arrows.

"Anyone else?"

At this time, the people who rushed in front of them were suddenly blinded, how could there be bows and arrows, these people immediately fell to the ground, at first they thought that both of them were holding heavy crossbows.

"Let's go."

With a great opportunity, Roger let out a low cry and threw a Marassa curtain in front of him, forming a visual barrier along with the fallen carriage.

"Spells, Roger actually knows spells."

Amira glanced at the deep darkness in shock, but her mind was still clear, and Roger said to go, so she turned and rushed into the woods, Roger following in close behind.

In a moment, they disappeared into the forest.
