Located further south of Timiroa between north and south, the night sky was a fiery red, and a war that had swept through the township came to an end.

Choking smoke, ragged figures with weapons to check the aristocratic armed soldiers lying on the ground, peel off their armor and weapons, and hand them over to the comrades who pushed the wheelbarrow, and some people quietly hid some valuables, and the companions next to them just smiled, and did not reprimand, and then walked to the next one, sometimes found that they were not dead, they would make up for a knife, and if the other party begged for surrender, some people were willing to let go.

Far and near, the fighting was over, but occasionally there would be a scream or two.

After that, there was a complete silence, and the footsteps of thousands of people quickly left the burning town, and rushed out of the wilderness outside the town with the freed slaves and a group of prisoners.

The burning torches shook in their hands, and on the opposite side, there was the same fire against the code, and the attackers approached with confidence, and in the darkness there, there were figures standing or sitting in the wilderness, on the slopes, and in the woods, and stretched all over the mountains, until they came, someone looked at them, and then turned away, and went on doing their own thing.

"Well done, you're already qualified fighters. The leader of the raiders greeted him and waved for the captives and freed slaves to be brought down and housed, "Rest and prepare to get out of here, for it won't be long before a combined army of nobles arrives." ”

"Yes, for freedom!" As the attackers wiped the blood from their faces and smiled, someone in the group said, "Can we meet General Artoria?"

"I'm sorry, but the general is very busy right now, and it seems that there are warriors from the north who want to join us in our righteous deed. ”

The man who spoke turned his gaze, and in the direction he looked, on the hillside in the distance, a girl in a set of slim leather armor, holding a heavy sword, looked at the three people opposite, the original thin face, more rounded, and the figure was also in time, growing a little taller, dirty hair, washed and cut short, at first glance, with the temperament of a Valkyrie.

In the dark woods, there are the footsteps of guards, Artoria has experienced some growth since she escaped from Tatasia and led the team, she is majestic to the outside, but she is not enthusiastic, and now she looks at the two men and a woman in front of her: "You seem to be adventurers, why do you want to join us?"

“...... Inspired. ”

Among the three, the older man with a beard looked at the girl in front of him sincerely: "The three of us have been adventurers in Timino Adam for many years, but our lives have always been muddy, and later, after hearing about you, we have a little goal in mind, so we came to look for you, and want to liberate more people together." ”

"Willing to allow more oppressed people to be free and fair will be my companion to Artoria, and I am glad to have friends from the north hear about our righteous deeds here, and I hope that many more will join in. ”

Artoria did not hide her joy and enthusiasm, for the three of them, although not much, but can affect the junction of the north and south of Timiria, shows that the teacher's words have been corroborated, more and more people recognize freedom and fairness.

"The one who inspired you, could you invite him to come along?"

The older adventurer shook his head: "That man...... I'm afraid he won't come, he went to the country of the upper echelons, and ......"

"The Upper Country?" Artoria interrupted, then added, "Does he only have one arm?" with black hair and one black eye. ”

On the other side, the adventurer was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, General Artoria." Do you know him?"

"He's my teacher...... Can you tell me, then, what did he do in the north?"

These three people are Langton, Carl and Linna, who have been on a journey with Xia Yi, hearing the inquiry, the three of you, look at me, I look at you, I was a little surprised that the girl in front of me turned out to be that student, and hesitated for a while, until there was a movement from the large army to pull out the camp and leave, Langton then spoke: "The city of Camishel in the north of Timinoa has been destroyed by your teacher...... The whole city is in ruins......"

The girl's hand holding the hilt of the sword clenched suddenly, the situation in the north is rarely conveyed here, even if she comes, during this time, she has led her troops to hide everywhere in Tibet, fighting and walking with the aristocratic coalition forces, and sometimes even detouring to the enemy's backyard to make a surprise attack, and rarely know about the news from the outside world, especially those that have nothing to do with the military.

Artoria suppressed the shock in her heart, her teeth trembled a little, and she couldn't help but continue to ask: "And then?"

"At that time, when the explosion appeared, we were outside the city, escorting your teacher to Kamyhill, and he just went straight into the city...... It didn't take long for an explosion to occur in the city, a terrifying ..... strange explosion, a ..... dazzling white light everywhere, and a shockwave that could destroy everything. ”

Langton couldn't find the words he knew to describe the scene, and then he recalled that scene and gestured with his hands: "...... A huge mushroom cloud went straight into the sky, and I even saw the birds in the sky, all of which fell in an instant, and everyone in the bazaar began to flee desperately, not daring to stay for a long time, and the three of us also fled back to Timiria, and did not dare to go any further......."

Carl and Linna, who were beside him, nodded, and the former spoke, "Your teacher must be a great archmage. ”

"I don't know, so do you still have news of him?"

Langton and the three of them glanced at each other and nodded hesitantly: "Before coming over, there was a rumor in Timinoa that there seemed to be a ghoul on the side of the upper country, that is, the dead people suddenly resurrected, forming a tide of corpses, whether they were living people or fierce beasts, they would pounce on them and kill them." ”

"You mean, the ghouls were created by my teacher?"

Artoria slammed her sword on the ground, and when the guards around her looked at her, she shook her head slightly, her short hair shaking.

"My teacher, it will never be the evil person you imagine, it is he who guides me, and everyone here has a path to follow, and I will never allow others to say about him. ”

Under the short golden hair, the girl's eyes have narrowed dangerously, and the posture of the heavy sword in her hand has a faint burst of powerful deterrent.

When the three of them were so frightened that they didn't know how to explain it, Artoria suddenly reined in this momentum, and still stretched out her hand as before.

"Welcome to the Raven Legion!"

Langton stretched out his hand, and when he held it, the girl showed a bright smile, "Trouble you, as the vanguard of this army, take us to the upper country!"

"What..... what?"

However, Artoria did not explain, dragging her white cloak and carrying the heavy sword to the hillside, looking at the assembled army in front of her.

There were miserable peasants, defeated soldiers, lowly slaves, or the old men who came out of the gladiatorial arena together, gathered at the bottom of the hillside, lit torches, and looked at the slender figures on the hillside.

At a certain moment, the girl's clear voice sounded.

"Go to the north, take free will there—"

The banner tattooed with crows was held up in the darkness, and soon the sound of the horn sounded, echoing under the red-hot night sky, along the thick black clouds, stretching to the north, the tide of ghouls had fallen, and the ghouls who had lost their command began to collapse in all directions, leaving corpses piled up everywhere on the field.

After a summer rain, the unpleasant smell of germs that cannot be seen by the naked eye spreads in the air.

At this time, Huipu City is welcoming a heroic triumph.
