(Chapter 1 arrives!) Thank you Nightmare Eternal 15, Ye sir is a reward from my two book friends! Ask for collection, ask for tickets, ask for tickets, ~~~~~~)

With the benefit of the many strong human beings in the Baissel Kingdom, the Tamon Knights, Rhodes and the others chose to continue to set off, and the way towards the direction of the Scarlet Canyon was much easier.

Although it has not yet reached the point where it is safe and unimpeded (and unlikely), the frequency of encounters with monsters, ferocious beasts, and other accidents is at least half less than that of the Taran Kingdom

Well? What the? Human bandits, you say? No kidding! Seeing the dozens of heavily armed cavalry and a few carriages, it must have been a poor and crazy human bandit to go crazy to gnaw such hard bones!

Anyway, the Tamon Knights, Rhodes and their party set out from Sirt County, and the human bandits had never encountered them at all, and those monsters and ferocious beasts were the most obstacles that Tamon Knights and Rhodes and his party had encountered.

With a fairly reliable guide and a group of people lightly armed, they passed through the Saipu Province of the Sail Kingdom and entered the hinterland of the Sail Kingdom in just ten days.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the year 1143 of the Dawn calendar, on the twelfth day of the third month of the scorching season, in an inn room in the county town of Mitte County, Moorish Province, in the kingdom of Cell, Rhodes, the knights of Tamon, and several small leaders of the team were together, discussing the last bit of the journey before reaching the destination of this distant journey.

"The Scarlet Canyon is not far away, and there is a special rocky path from here to where it leads" As the recognized leader of the group, the Tamon Knight said the news he had brought people to inquire, and his face looked strange.

Well, in fact, the Tamon Knight just saw some special "goods" brought back by some caravans from the Scarlet Canyon by the way, and at the same time expressed that the Scarlet Canyon, a place that he had only heard about before, was not as simple as he thought.

Didn't you say it was at the forefront of the war with the Orc Empire? How could there be such a deformed business booming situation

Fortunately, the people in the mental activity room of the Tamon Knight didn't know, or it was someone like Rhodes who wouldn't care even if he knew, so his face changed and the others saw the excitement of about to arrive at the Scarlet Canyon, so they didn't care too much about the "normal" change in Tamon Knight's face at all, but opened their mouths to discuss it.

"Definitely! It is said that the rocky road leads directly from the town of Mitte to the Scarlet Canyon, and if you ride a horse, you can reach the Scarlet Canyon in three days at most!"

A small boss who had followed Tamon out to find out the news before was also busy talking after seeing his boss speak.

"Three days??? How long is that stone road???"

After hearing the little leader's words, the others were surprised not that it would take three more days to reach the Scarlet Canyon, but that a stone road could be as long as a cavalry three-day journey!

You know, this is not the earth that invented and popularized the cement thing, and it is not uncommon for the stone road to appear in the magic town, but the stone road like this has lasted for at least two hundred kilometers? Well, at least most of the turtles in the room hadn't seen it at all, so it wasn't surprising that they would shout in surprise.

"Strange what?! It's the Scarlet Canyon, a place where humans have been at war with the Orc Empire for thousands of years, so it's not surprising that anything appears!" The knight of Tamon, who was awakened by the shouting, glared at the guy who shouted and said a word, and then turned his head to look at Rhodes, whose face had changed a little in the room, and asked very politely: "Master Rhodes, we are now"

In the heart of the Tamon Knight, he really wanted to go to the Scarlet Canyon as soon as possible and complete the task ordered by Baron Ernst to escort Rhodes to the Scarlet Canyon as soon as possible!

- In fact, not only the Tamon Knight, but several other people in the room fell silent after hearing the Tamon Knight's words, and then looked at Rhodes with anticipation in their eyes.

Well, for these people, there really is no one who has complained about being picked out by Baron Ernst to escort Rhodes to the Scarlet Canyon. But after a few arduous treks of the Month of Reincarnation, and now that they are about to reach the destination of this escort, the thought of ending this escort trip quickly and returning home has arisen in everyone's hearts!

"Well, let's go tomorrow! Let's see the destination this time, the Scarlet Canyon!"

After feeling the expectant eyes of everyone in the room, Rod, who also had an excited feeling in his heart, did not talk nonsense, and simply nodded in agreement.

"Yes! Master Rhodes!" *N

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The next day, Rhodes and his party embarked directly on the last leg of their journey to the Scarlet Canyon.

However, as soon as they left the gate of the county city, everyone felt the difference on this side of the Scarlet Canyon!

I saw that outside the county town, which was already covered with manors, fields, and various plants, the stone road that stretched from the gate of the city to the horizon could accommodate more than a dozen carriages to pass together made my tongue smack. And what makes people feel even more smacked is that on the stone road, it is obvious that there are many people heading to the Scarlet Canyon!

In less than ten minutes of observation time from standing on the edge of the city gate, Rhodes saw at least two groups of people departing from the city of Mitte and heading directly along the stone road in the direction of the Scarlet Canyon! Judging from the fact that the two groups add up to dozens of people and the corresponding horses and carriages, it is not like a caravan but a bit like a mercenary - of course, judging from the fact that one of them has a dozen or so people with a bronze rank warrior, it is probably impossible to say that it is a mercenary!

"Are you planning to join the Scarlet Canyon?" Looking at the teams that were mostly lightly armed to the Scarlet Canyon, Rhodes took a look and understood the origin of the other party.

As the first line of defense against the Orc Empire, the human beings stationed in the Scarlet Canyon have not shrunk for thousands of years, and on the Orc Wilderness outside the Scarlet Canyon, the battle between the small human army and the orc tribe is even more intense, and thousands of intelligent lives fall into the vast wilderness almost every day.

In this tragic situation, the Scarlet Canyon is open to people from the five northern countries and even the countries on the continent who have come with dreams of becoming nobles with military exploits, breaking through with the powerhouses of the Orc Empire, and gaining inheritance through military exploits!

As long as you are willing to fight the Orc Empire and make a war exploit, then the top powerhouses of the five northern countries in the Scarlet Canyon will never be stingy - provided that you can make a battle merit and come back from the orc-controlled area alive!

Although the high casualty rate in the Scarlet Canyon and the Orc Wilderness is terrifying, there is never a shortage of lucky or strong people in this world, and that example still makes countless people from the Five Northern Kingdoms, the Autonomous Alliance, the Eastern Dragon Empire, the Southern Duchy Alliance, and even the Holy Radiance Empire, join the bloody confrontation between the human race and the Orc Empire!

After all, humans are still very good at letting themselves see the benefits and ignore the dangers, and overconfidence in themselves is also one of the main reasons for the recruitment of cannon fodder in the Scarlet Canyon every year.

"Let's go!"

After looking at it for a while, Rhodes restrained his reverie and turned to the Tamon knight on the side and said.

"Departure !!"

After hearing Rod's order, the already impatient Tamon knight shouted loudly to the convoy that was also waiting patiently on the side.

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!!"

With shouts one after another, the Tamon Knight and his party embraced Rhodes and stepped onto the wide stone road, and began to move towards the final destination of their group this time!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Four days later, at noon, Rhodes and his party were marching quickly on the wide stone road......

"Gotcha! Gotcha"

"Crunch-Crunch"

As Rhodes and his party marched quickly, the sound of horses' hooves and vehicles crushing stone slabs echoed around the entire procession.

"Knight Tamon, you should be able to reach the Scarlet Canyon today, right?"

Walking on the stone road, looking at the farms and villages that appeared on the side of the road from time to time, as if they were military camps and pillboxes, Rhodes, who felt bored, provoked a conversation with the Tamon knights beside him.

"Young Master Rod, I should be able to arrive almost in time, I confirmed it when I just set off, it shouldn't exceed today's itinerary" Listening to Rod's question, the Tamon Knight, who had polished his enchanted knight armor, thought for a while, and said very carefully.

It should be said that the speed of the team mixed with horses and vehicles on the stone road still can't catch up with the cavalry without dragging, at least the pure cavalry team can arrive in three days, and the distance from Rhodes and his party has not seen a place for more than three days. Although in one of the villages where he rested yesterday, it was said that the Scarlet Canyon was not far ahead, but if he could arrive today, the Tamon Knight did not dare to pack the ticket.

"Forget it, it's not bad for one day or two anyway!"

Listening to this answer from the Tamon Knight, Rod didn't pursue it much and skipped it directly.

But before Tamon Knight could try to say anything, the loud voice in the team made him and Rod froze for a moment, and then suddenly looked ahead of him!

"Look ahead!"

"Oh my God! What a big mountain!"

"How tall is that black wall?"

The cavalrymen who had been in a guard formation behind the knights of Rhodes and Tamon made a rare noise, pointing to their front and looking in disbelief and shouting.

When Rhodes looked ahead, he realized that two huge mountains had appeared in front of him!

In the middle of the mountains, which seemed to be almost as tall as the sky at the first glance, there was only a stone path that turned into a white line and connected to an extremely narrow passage. And at the location of the passage mouth, even if you look at it from the position of Rhodes, you can clearly see an unusually tall black city wall towering at the mouth of the passage!

"This is the Scarlet Canyon ?!!!"
