According to the pre-agreed plan, Bloom led the food convoy directly to the border between the two countries, and in the afternoon, the convoy finally arrived at a smaller checkpoint on the border, and Alan was already waiting for them on a hillside in the checkpoint.

At this time, riding alongside Allen, waiting for the convoy to arrive, there was another tall young man in military uniform.

"Robert, thanks to your help this time, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to get such a large shipment of grain to Higg. ”

Alan looked at the convoy that appeared in the distance and said to the young man beside him. And this young man is none other than Robert, the knight academy student that Allen met at the Academy of Magic, because of Elvis's relationship at the beginning, the two knew each other, and later because of the design to deal with Arman, so that they were familiar with each other, and then they were in a group of two during the competition on the South Mountain, when Robert was the senior of the senior year, he served as the leader of the group, but during the game, Allen showed resourcefulness that Robert as a senior admired very much, and the two established a deep friendship. After the race in the South Mountains, Robert completed his studies at the Knight Academy and returned home to the Southeast. The Robert family is also a prominent family in the southeast, and unlike the Lorraine family, the Robert family has a strong military background, Robert's father is in charge of the military power of the southeast border, so as soon as Robert returned home, he was arranged by his father to serve on the border, at first to assist his father in training recruits, and only after a year did he really lead the troops, starting from the smallest checkpoint captain, and now becoming a captain, with more than 1,000 border guards, responsible for the guarding of a medium-sized checkpoint.

Alan learned from the Earl of Lorraine that Robert was serving in a nearby barracks, and later confirmed by Winnie Vera, so after leaving the Lorraine manor, he rushed to the border the next day to meet Robert, Robert was really surprised and happy to see Allen, he had learned from Elvis that Alan died unexpectedly while exploring the monuments, but he did not expect Alan to be able to come back to life. Although the two haven't seen each other for many years, Robert's admiration for Allen is still there, so when he learned that Allen wanted to ask him for help, Robert readily agreed, but when he heard that Allen was transporting hundreds of truckloads of food, he became hesitant, and it wasn't until Allen told Robert that his purpose was to rescue Elvis, who was kidnapped by the Bols horse bandits, Robert made up his mind to go all out to help Allen even if he disregarded his principles. Of course, the two large barrels of muller that Allen brought him, he also smiled unceremoniously.

At Winnie's house, after Allen and Bloom and Shelly confirmed the plan of action, they went to the border in advance, so they did not go to the manor with Bloom to receive food. After Allen arrived, Robert made some arrangements to replace all the people in charge of the checkpoint with his own soldiers, and then transferred other officers and soldiers out of the checkpoint, and after everything was ready, the two of them came to a high ground near the checkpoint to wait for the arrival of the convoy.

"What's polite between us, if I hadn't been responsible for guarding the gates, I would have accompanied you to rescue Elvis. Alan, you must be careful, according to the information collected by my side, although the Bolsma bandits are called bandits, they are actually the elite of Higg's regular army, and their combat effectiveness is quite good, and it took several years for the Higg military to completely eliminate them. In addition, the terrain in the Great Dragon Rift Valley is complex, and Bols has been operating in it for many years, and it is best if it can be solved by peaceful means. ”

Alan didn't tell Robert that in addition to rescuing Elvis, he also had the task of eliminating the Bols horse bandits, worried that the information would leak and cause trouble, so Robert advised him that it would be better if he could redeem Elvis with money and food, and try to avoid a head-on conflict.

"Don't worry. I know in my heart that even if there is a conflict, these mercenaries I hired will not be given for nothing. ”

Alan said confidently.

"If someone else said that, I would have thought it was bragging, but since you Allen said it, I really can't believe it. ”

Robert laughed.

"Robert, the convoy has arrived, I'll go first, I'll get things done, and I'll trouble you on the way back. ”

Alan said as he looked at the approaching motorvoy.

"It's a small thing. Alan, I wish you all the best, come back with Elvis as soon as possible, and the three of us brothers should also have a good get-together, although the conditions on my side are more difficult, but there is a lot of game, just invite the two of you to taste it. ”

Robert smiled heartily, his identity was not suitable to show up and be known to more people about his relationship with Allen, so he waved goodbye to Allen on the hillside.

"These gold coins are a little bit of meaning for you and your brothers. ”

Before leaving, Alan tossed Robert a bag of gold coins before patting his horse down the mountain.

Robert swept the gold coin in his hand and watched Alan walk away with a smile.

After Allen joined Bloom on the main road, he held the clearance seal letter opened by Robert, and the guards at the checkpoint were all Robert's personal soldiers, and he had already received Robert's order, so when he saw the seal letter, he let it go without saying a word, and the speed and simplicity of the procedures made Bloom and other mercenaries dumbfounded, so they admired Allen more and more.

After Yuz's level, it was followed by Higg's level. Faced with the Higg border guards blocking the way, Alan had to take out a special clearance letter, because the letter was issued by the Higg Emperor - Busman Roland Higg.

In this matter, Boothman Roland thought about it very thoroughly, when his envoy found Holancest, he had already carried this customs clearance seal with him, because this secret mission required the use of a large number of troops, and he wanted to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Yuss Empire and the Holy See, and it was inconvenient for the mercenary union to openly handle the customs clearance procedures for the mercenaries participating in this mission, so he simply opened it and handed it over to the mercenary union for use.

Higg's checkpoint guard sees the seal behind it

The emperor's seal was taken aback, and he didn't know if it was true or false, so he hurriedly asked the person in charge of the checkpoint. After some confirmation and proof that the seal was correct, the person in charge led his subordinates to respectfully send the group into the customs, and did not even ask about the reason for customs clearance, let alone check the items on the car.

After entering Higg, Alan and the others first chose a small town without a church, renovated it, replenished supplies, and then set out on a mission again.

Alan had in his hand a letter from the bandits to the Earl of Lorraine, which contained a map left by the bandits, which showed the terrain near the western exit of the Great Rift Valley, and a valley twenty miles away from the exit was marked with a red dot on the map, and this valley was the place where the bandits asked the two sides to meet.
