Chapter 110: Departure (II)

At Leia's insistence, the departure date was brought forward by a week.

Originally, Jiang Feng had planned to stay here for a few more days, find a way to mix up the titles of intermediate and high-level alchemists, and sweep the books in the second and third floor collections into the database, but now it seems that this matter will have to wait until the sword is delivered before taking time to complete it.

After hearing the news that Jiang Feng and the others planned to go to Sardinia and the others, Miss Cilita, who served as Princess Sophia's swordsmanship teacher, found Jiang Feng and begged him to take her to Sardiniburgh with her. Her brother hadn't sent a letter home for a month, and although this had happened before, she was still a little worried as a sister.

As for the other reason, it is of her own will.

“…… It was my long-cherished wish to serve the kingdom as a knight, and the battlefield was where I should be, not the castle. ”

"Dreams? Maybe the battlefield isn't as rosy as you think, and the enemy's sword can cut your pretty face, cut off your arm, or even cut your throat...... Are you sure you've got it all figured out? While instructing Fielding to load the travel supplies into the carriage, Jiang Feng asked casually.

"Are you a child?" Cilita smiled and slammed her right fist against her shiny breastplate with a crisp thud, "When I was fifteen years old, I wore this armor and stepped into battle to lead the Gondar clan's people in battle against the bandits who crossed the border. As for death? People always die. ”

The fifteen-year-old's armor still fits well, and I really don't know what she has to be happy about.

Glancing at the high-spirited Cilita, seeing that she was so confident, Jiang Feng didn't say anything anymore.

Especially considering that it was the first time for his people to set foot on this continent, and that Fielding had never been to such a remote place as Sardiniferum, and that they happened to lack a guide, he agreed to Cilita's request.

It's just that the next morning, the situation has changed slightly.

The team that had already increased to six people suddenly became more than a hundred, which made Jiang Feng a little unexpected.

After asking Greid, he learned that the people standing in the open space outside the inner wall were all newly trained cavalry of the royal family, and they were supposed to go to the front line this month, but because of Miss Silita's initiative, this day was brought forward......

Bidding farewell to Prince Sai'an, Jiang Feng was the last to get into the carriage.

Because I spent the whole day preparing for the departure yesterday, I didn't leave in a hurry in the morning.

Two carriages, one for people and the other for household utensils and supplies.

Fielding volunteered to be a coachman, responsible for driving the carriage in which Jiang Feng and the others were riding. As for the carriage for transporting supplies, Jiang Feng entrusted Greid, and hired a farmer who could work as a coachman from a nearby manor.

The group crossed the drawbridge of the castle gatehouse.

Princess Sophia, who was standing under the drawbridge of the castle and saw everyone off, stepped forward with a solemn expression and handed the royal flag to Cilita, who was kneeling on one knee.

"My strength is too weak to help you with anything but to lend you this banner. May the light of God the Father shine on your armor, and peace bring back victory and glory. ”

"Yes, Your Highness Princess."

From Princess Sophia's hand, she took the bright red flag, and Cilita, who stood up, gave a knightly salute with a solemn expression, "I will bring victory back." ”

"Go, my dear friend."

Princess Sophia smiled.

At the last moment, she bid farewell to Cilita, not as a princess, but as a friend.

……

After leaving the realm of Valland, the scenery in front of me suddenly opened up.

The brick and stone houses are gone, replaced by endless fields, the highest of which is still a windmill, but the most is no longer a gatehouse, but a straw man standing in the middle of the field. The farmer ploughing and the children running by the haystack are like an oil painting printed on paper.

The smooth brick and stone road under your feet turned into a dirt road full of ruts at some point. Occasionally, you can see oncoming carriages and travelers with bags on their backs, but as for the pedestrians who are traveling the same way, you can hardly see them.

The further you go, the more dangerous it becomes......

I sat in a rickety carriage for almost a week.

This was the first time Jiang Feng had traveled a long distance with such an inefficient means of transportation, and it was quite interesting at first, but later on, it also began to feel boring. I can only close my eyes and play the games downloaded in the brain to pass the time.

Yi Ran, who was sitting next to Jiang Feng, crossed her arms and dozed off with her head down.

Directly across from her, Emily, who had taken off her shoes, was kneeling on a cushion. I saw the little guy biting the quill, his chin resting on the back of the chair, the parchment in his hand standing upright, pondering the question on the paper.

This is the "homework" assigned to her by Jiang Feng.

It was about yesterday that Emily came up triumphantly and told him that she had finished reading the book that had been given to her. So Jiang Feng took a piece of parchment casually, wrote a few simple questions on it, and threw it to her.

He found it unexpectedly effective.

Emily, who was originally energetic, had been in peace all day, so much so that Ira opposite him was so bored that he fell asleep because he couldn't find an opponent to fight.

"Hmm, it's too hard......"

Biting the small mouth of the quill, it is sipped into a twisted "W" shape. Two lotus root joints resemble calves and restless little farts. Stock, constantly twisting and turning on the cushion, although there is no noise to be encouraged, Jiang Feng really wishes she could pay a little attention to her image.

"I have a question for you."

Hearing Leia talking to him, Jiang Feng opened his eyes and cast an inquiring gaze on the other side.

"Why are you helping us?" Staring at Jiang Feng's eyes, Leia said in a serious tone, "I wanted to ask when I was on the ship, in fact, you don't care about the life and death of those people at all, since that's the case-"

"It's a bit too much to say I don't care, but I'm actually a little bit concerned, after all, they are so genetically similar. As for why you asked...... Having already guessed what Leia was going to say, Jiang Feng smiled, looked at the wheat field outside the window, and said in a relaxed tone, "You can understand that this is a deal." ”

"Deal?" Noticing the conversation between the two, Emily tilted her little head to look at it.

"The iron ore?" Leia stared at Jiang Feng and asked.

"Iron ore? How could I be bought by something cheap. Jiang Feng smiled and shook his head, "You don't have to guess, knowing those things that don't matter means anything to you." ”

Although she was a little unwilling, seeing that Jiang Feng didn't intend to continue on this topic at all, Leia had no choice but to stop asking.

At this moment, there was a sudden "whoo" sound from outside the carriage, and Fielding, who was driving, tightened the reins in his hand.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and hearing the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, Jiang Feng opened the curtain of the carriage.

I saw that the cavalry walking at the front of the team had already stepped on their horses, and the spears and shields in their hands stood in front of them, and they assembled into an array of attacks.

"What just happened?" Looking at Fielding, who was driving, Jiang Feng asked.

"My lord, there seems to be something going on ahead, looking at the movements of those cavalrymen, they probably encountered robbers." Fielding said.

Hearing this, Jiang Feng's expression was a little strange.

"Who is so bold as to rob the royal family?"

Fielding shook his head, and from under the wooden plank where he was sitting, he took out a short crossbow for self-defense.

"It's not us who have been plundered, it should be the village of the knight lord."

As he spoke, not far ahead, Celita rode to the front of the battle and drew the long sword at her waist.

Judging by the appearance of the two of them at the banquet, the petite body standing on the standing horse is exuding an aura that cannot be ignored. Jiang Feng finally understood a little now, why Princess Sophia was so relieved to hand over the reinforcements and the royal flags to a woman.

Even women.

The heirs of the Gondar family will never disgrace the name of the descendants of heroes.

"Assault of the whole army!"

The long sword in his hand slashed down, and with the sound of the coquettish shout and the rolling horse's hooves behind her, Cilita took the lead and slashed forward.
