Time passed quickly, when Allen took more than 6,000 people to the north of Giant Mountain, it was already late August 1326, the coniferous vegetation in the forest began to lose its leaves, and the grassland also reached the dry season.

"Before the catastrophe, it was really peaceful. However, at this time, orcs are the most likely to attack! ”

After leaving the Golden City, Alan traveled all the way to the southeast, and before he knew it, he had come to the south of the Raspar savannah, where the water vapor was abundant, the forests were denser, and the terrain began to become rough.

On this day, Alan received the carrier pigeon, smiled, found Shirley and said, "Guess where we were?" ”

As a mage, Shirley has mastered astronomy and geography, and is well-informed, seeing Allen's question, she thought for a while and said, "According to our current journey, I'm afraid we have come to the north of the Giant Mountain Ridge." ”

"Yes." Alan smiled and said, "However, I think this place will soon have a new name." ”

"Oh?" Shirley said, "What's the name?" As he spoke, he took out a map and looked at it, his face full of excitement, for the simple reason that this was already his father's new territory.

"I think this place will soon be called 'Grenor Ridge.'"

Ah, hearing this, Shirley's face turned red, and Grenor was Shirley's family name.

"Brother Allen, don't tease me, who doesn't know that this place is inhabited by mountain giants, and this group of guys is the real master here." Shirley smiled.

Alan said, "If we can subdue the mountain giants, this place will not be included in Grenor's territory." “

Yes? When Shirley heard this, she was surprised again, and hurriedly looked at the map, if this hill could be incorporated into the territory of Gregor, then the territory of the Greno family would be twice as large as it is now, and it would be really exciting to completely border the Clemand region.

At this time, Alan spoke again: "It has been more than two months since we left the Golden City, the water monsters in the White Fog Lake have been in turmoil, more than half a year has passed, and it seems that it can no longer be delayed, from today onwards, we will go our separate ways, the troops will be divided into three ways, do you stay here and wait for Mr. Greno, or go to the White Fog Lake with me?" ”

"Brother Allen is going to White Fog Lake, don't you go to the territory first?" Shirley asked.

"Yes, the troops must be divided here. The Ash Assassins travel to the White Mist Lake, while my true form will travel to the Clemand region. Alan said.

When Shirley heard this, she thought for a moment, "So what should I do?" ”

Alan smiled: "If you choose to wait here for Mr. Grenor, I will leave Mr. Hunter, two druids, the priest and 500 soldiers here to wait with you, and pick up the dark elves by the way." Due to the long journey, it would take them about forty or fifty days to get here. ”

"If you choose to go to the Clement area, then continue to follow me, but if you do, you will be more relaxed, and there will be nothing to do in the short term." Alan Dao.

Oooh. Shirley nodded obediently.

Asked, "What about Sister Daile, which side will she go to?" ”

"She'll go to the Clément area and help me with something," Alan said. Or you can stay in the Broken Temple and practice your skills with the Catwoman sisters. ”

"Oh." Shirley smiled slightly and shook her head, "I don't want to take it in the broken temple, if I can, I also want to do something for Brother Alan, I don't want to be idle." ”

Hearing this, Allen's heart warmed and he looked at Sister Shirley dotingly.

After a long time, he said, "Then follow the Ash Assassin to the White Misty Lake, it is my doppelganger, you should know it." ”

This one...... Shirley hesitated. In fact, the little girl wanted to stay in the territory of Grenor and wait for her father's arrival, and she also wanted to follow Alan's brother to the Clemand region, but she didn't expect that the final result would be to go to the White Misty Lake. To be honest, a 12 or 13 little girl like Shirley really doesn't want to leave the people close to her.

But I didn't expect Shirley to think about it for a long time, and then looked at Brother Allen seriously, and finally said: "Okay, then I'll go to White Fog Lake, and when the matter is over at White Fog Lake, my father should also arrive here, and when the time comes, I can see my father when I come north from White Fog Lake!" ”

Alan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Sister Shirley to say such a thing, and suddenly seemed to regain the feeling of the year. This little girl, even when she reaches the third order of cultivation, still likes to stay by her side, but every time, when Allen's team needs help, the little girl will stand up at the most critical time and burst out with amazing energy.

Now that Allen's team has come to a fork in the road, although it is not a crisis, Allen needs to arrange all the people around him after all, and the most worrying thing for Allen is the problem of Shirley's sister. Unexpectedly, when I found Shirley to talk to today, the matter was easily solved, and even Shirley's eyes on the problem were more in place than Allen.

If you care, you're messy, and if you care, you're messy.

It seems that he has been too busy during this time, and he has neglected the growth of Shirley's sister.

"In that case, then Sister Shirley will follow the Ash Assassin and Jock Circus to the White Fog Lake." Alan Dao.

"Okay, okay." Although Shirley is young, once she makes up her mind, she doesn't make any noise or noise, but at the end she can't help but ask again: "Is that terrifying-looking Uncle Ash Assassin really the doppelganger of Brother Allen?" ”

Alan smiled, it seems that the little girl is still worried about this matter. A few months ago, the Mage Manor was stalked by an unknown person, and at that time, Shirley and Ini had a corpse demon by their side, who was the third-order mage Oberto. At that time, Eren also left part of his soul power in this corpse demon. But when it happened, because Alan was busy with other things, he didn't respond, and this incident left a big shadow on the little girl.

At that time, Eren was unable to do more than one at the same time, mainly due to the lack of soul power. After the Battle of Stirling's Ghost, Allen devoured a large number of souls, and with the powerful assimilation ability of the dragon's bloodline, he turned these soul powers into his own use.

"Don't worry, that Ash Assassin is my doppelganger, and after a few days of contact, you'll be able to realize it." Alan reached out and touched Shirley's head.

Hearing this, Shirley said no more.

……

After Allen took the team to the Giant's Hill, he circled for a day and began to divide his troops. First of all, Allen selected a part of the cavalry team with strong mobility and certain reconnaissance ability, ordered them to be stationed at the edge of Grenor's territory, and issued a reconnaissance mission on Giant Mountain.

Since Shirley doesn't stay here, there is no need for Alan to send a large number of people to be stationed here.

Alan found the reconnaissance team, assigned a commander, and ordered: "Your team, there are 30 people, and there are two tasks. The first is to regularly go to the Giant Mountain to reconnoitre, find out the number of giants in the mountain range, and observe their activities. For the second mission, you stay here to pick up Ser Grenor and the Dark Elf Village. As soon as they arrive, send troops to Clément territory to inform me. ”

After receiving a daily checklist and 60 days of salaries, tents, and weapons, the morale of the scouts was high. After another day of scouting, the Druid's Eagle Vision, and the cavalry field trip, Alan selected a camp for the scouting team. Troubled times are coming, every soldier is very precious, and Alan doesn't want to lose this group of people in vain.

After making arrangements, the Alan soldiers divided into two routes, one led by his own body, and continued southeast to the Clemand region, and the other was led by the Ash Assassins into the Morel region, found the dock of the Morel family by the Raspar River, boarded a black iron warship, and went all the way south to the White Fog Lake area.

In the team going to the Clemand area, except for Daer, basically no one knew about Allen's clone going south, and after Allen and the others bypassed the Giant Mountain, it didn't take long for them to come to Clemand territory. This Clement region was originally the private domain of the Viscount of Clément. At the beginning, Viscount Clément, who was one of the original minions of the Abyss forces in the Golden City, began to sacrifice to the Abyss at a very early stage, and brought Baron Passas into it.

Thanks to the power of the Abyss, the Clemment region has always maintained a delicate balance with the orc-occupied lands. When Alan arrived at Clement with nearly 6,000 soldiers and horses, the sixteen knight lords here did not know it, and none of them came to greet him.

The Clément region covers an area of 2.73 million square kilometers, which would rank ninth among all countries on the planet. The terrain of the Clemand area is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, but in the easternmost part, it encounters the orc heights, and the terrain is raised again, and there are obstacles in the south, both from the longitudinal plane and the cross-section, showing a "concave" shape.

In summer, the wind from the east and south is blocked by the orc highlands and cannot reach here, and the cold air from the north in winter enters through the "concave" gap, and there is no place to evacuate, so this area is dry in summer with little rain and continuous heavy snowfall in winter, forming a very unique landscape.

After Allen led the 6,000 troops into the Clemon area, he immediately sent people to issue a "lord order" to the mayors of the major knights in the territory, asking the knights to bring the soldiers in their own territory to Clemand City to meet the new lord.

But it's a pity that three days after the lord's order was issued, except for the 6 knight lords who led the troops to pull out their territory, the remaining 10 lords all stood still, and they didn't even send anyone to greet them, and they slapped Allen in the face, which was really embarrassing.

Fortunately, Alan was also mentally prepared for this, and was not in a hurry, when the six knights came to meet with nearly 3,000 soldiers, Alan waited for another three days before continuing to advance towards Clement City.

On the way, Eren issued a solemnly worded lord's order, in which Eren mercilessly reprimanded the ten great knights under his command. In addition, the knights are based on the legal basis of the territory, and refute the arrogant and rude behavior of the ten knights, which directly shakes the foundation of the rule of the ten knight mayors.

The knights stood on loyalty and protection, and helped the nobles to protect the land, and if the foundation of rule was shaken, the commoners in the realm could rise up in anger and overthrow the knights at any time. As soon as the order came out, sure enough, some lords couldn't sit still, and soon, three more big knights came to visit with more than 1,500 soldiers under their command.

As a result, a 9-7 pattern was formed among the great knights, and those who disobeyed the order became a minority.

Alan is still very satisfied with such preliminary results.

The Divine Grace Continent is vast and vast, with more than 2 million square kilometers of land, but it only relies on 16 knights to form a rule, every knight mayor, the knight is equivalent to the area of a province on the earth, according to the regulations, a knight lord can only have a maximum of 500 cavalry within the establishment, as well as 3000 peasant soldiers, seeing that the cavalry brought by 9 knights has not exceeded the rules, Alan is also a lot more comfortable, this incident proves that this group of knights in his territory at least still understands the rules.
