"Ciri, the supplies of our knights for three months have been loaded into the warehouse, so you can also enter the pass. The third team is in the barracks, and our team is in the warehouse, so we will leave your first team. ”

A voice brought Siri back to his senses from his morning memories, and when he looked again, the person in front of him was that Taylor.

"Oh, is it really our turn soon? Hehe, I really didn't expect it. ”

"I think you're too engrossed in what you're thinking!" Taylor grinned.

"But then again, you're really generous to give such precious beads to your girlfriend. If it were me, I would definitely keep it for my own cultivation...... Ciri, what kind of eyes do you have? Do you think I'm going to say, 'I'm starting to worry about Jessica's going to throw a hug on you?' ”

"This kind of thought, only you think so, I can think like that."

Ciri looked serious, it was enough trouble for him to have those three by his side, although the Crystal Palace would expand in the future, but it would never include any of the women of friends.

"I just know who you are, that's why I'm so relieved!" Taylor replied with some insincerity. "But Xirui, how big is the auxiliary effect of that bead on the cultivation of battle qi? You know, I'm not like you, if I let a woman overtake, I can't save face. ”

"Then why don't you just work harder in battle?" Naturally, only the strength that continues to grow in battle can be a battle spirit! ”

Talking and laughing, the two entered the pass together. The walls, both more than 30 meters high and wide and more than 1 kilometer long, stand at the ends of the Chigo Mararo mountain range. In the pass, it looks like a city. The buildings such as the residents, the barracks, and the shops are in good order, and there is even a castle in the center that is large enough for 1,500 people!

One of the two most important levels in the western part of the kingdom of Zigra (the other being the eastern pass of Betnes City) is well deserved. Speaking of which, a month ago, it was bordering the northern Bland territory, and it was the fattest in the area around Betnes. Now, the baron who guards this place has been directly deprived of the prison where the knight is still in prison by the lord of Bettensis. Of course, just being rushed by the unmoraled rout, he hurriedly abandoned this impregnable pass and fled, and asked Siri to say that the bastard Sir should be executed directly.

Along the way, Ciri also began to observe the surroundings. Brand's routs and refugees passed through this place one after another, but they didn't expect that there were still some people left in this pass that had been plundered many times by the rout! Wherever Ciri led his team, he would always find the eyes of the regular soldiers staring at them in the houses on both sides of the narrow streets.

Are there still people in the pass? This is not surprising. After all, the war in Brand Territory is still not over. Every day, hundreds of refugees pass through this undefended pass to the city of Betnes. The mercenary group's station, which is now completely empty, can be said to be crowded with refugees. Of course, there will be some refugees stranded around the city of Betnes. But are there too many refugees in the pass? You know, there are mountains and mountains all around, and the demonic beasts all over the mountains are not something they can hunt to satisfy their hunger!

"Man, something isn't right. Didn't the auxiliaries say that there were not even a hundred refugees in the pass? We have more than 100 refugees on this street. ”

Next to him, Taylor, who had been following Ciri, whispered. Ciri nodded, reaching out. "A few of you, go over there and bring a few civilians over, and say I have something to ask them."

The order was given, and in a few moments, three men dressed in tatters were brought to Ciri.

Cieri's brow furrowed again. The trio were unkempt and ragged, and at first glance there was nothing unusual about them. But there is no anomaly, which is the biggest anomaly in itself. The anomaly is that all three of them are in good health, and they don't look like they've been hungry at all. If, they are a rout, and they have the ability to hunt the demonic beasts on the mountain, there is no reason not to tidy up their clothes. Besides, in order to expand the army, Count Bettnes even opened the door to the refugees, and the defeated army had the ability to fight at all, and it was possible to join the regular army directly, so there was no reason to hide in this small pass!

"My lord, my lord! What are you looking for us for? We didn't do anything bad! The civilian, at the head, pleaded bitterly.

Although this guy is about to cry with a look on his face, he is still a little pretentious to Ciri.

"If you don't do anything bad, you're polite? Do you know that Lord Bettness has set up that private camp on the outskirts of the city, why don't you go over there? From the moment Siri was silent, Taylor reprimanded in a fierce voice.

"It's just because we're locals and we know there's going to be a big battle here, so we're hiding here! I thought everyone was you, wearing a good outfit ...... thirteen"

The latter words, of course, were spoken in a voice that was barely audible. Taylor's battle qi cultivation has been successful, of course, he is deaf and clear-sighted, and he listens to a word. However, he is an easy-going person, and he does not count the gains and losses of the words of a few civilians.

"That's even more wrong! Now that we know that there is going to be a big war, don't we know that no one can take care of anyone when the war is chaotic? If you don't join the army, no one will complain if you die! ”

That's right, Taylor points out the essence of refugees' enthusiasm for joining the military. Those refugees are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that they will die in the war for no reason, and it is different with the large army, although they still have to participate in the war, but not everyone is so far-sighted. Knowing how much the probability of death is of cannon fodder on the battlefield, when in distress, everyone has the psychology of surviving in a group! Even if it's just jumping from one fire pit to another, bigger fire pit!

"Hah! What is Count Bettness? Do we have to serve him? ”

In the face of Taylor's kindness, the guy who was suspected of being a rout pouted. "Hmph, you know, I also worked in Duke Brand's personal guard......"

"You've worked in Brand's personal guard? Deceptive, right? ”

At this time, Ciri suddenly interjected, and the defeated soldier didn't know what he was thinking, so he replied proudly. "That's it! Let me tell you, don't look at us like we are now, we were also the elite of the regular army at the beginning! ”

In a word, Taylor stopped talking, and the two companions of the rout also opened their mouths wide! How could a local, go to the territory next door to serve as a soldier, this is a very big loophole. Before these two people could think of a remedy, Xi Rui's Zhangba snake spear over there was already directly across his head!

"I said, didn't you just say you're a local? Why did you serve as a personal guard for Duke Brand again? ”

"Yes, I'm a local, but Brand has relatives over there, so isn't it the same to go there to be a soldier? Wonder is the daughter of ignorance! ”

The civilian who was suspected of being a rout was full of words, but Ciri only smiled.

"Being a soldier in a different place? Hmph, I think you're lying to your face! ”

The snake spear in his hand slashed directly down, and then looked at the latter, but he directly pulled out a hidden dagger to hold his snake spear!
