Before the arrival of the Titan Holy See's edict, in just a dozen days, the war had quickly spread from the border to the territory of the kingdoms of North Sunderland and Lorenzo.

Cities and cities in both countries were affected in the region, and even Tórshavn, on the edge of the Iron Hoof Plain, was threatened by the iron cavalry of Lorenzo's army, and the booming commerce was devastated.

In this case, even if the rulers of the kingdom wanted to stop this senseless military conflict, they also had to take into account the rising tide of anger in the country, and the verbal and written accusations of the people and nobles blocked the road to peace, and the two sides could only allow the scale of the war to grow and slowly evolve from a military conflict to a large-scale war.

At present, the area of fighting is still limited to the Iron Hoof Plain, although some towns near the border have been baptized by the baptism of war, but there are still a few broken cities, as for some villages on the border that have not had time to evacuate, they can only consider themselves unlucky, trembling under the sword and cavalry of the enemy army.

Of course, because of the existence of the behemoth of the Titan Holy See, the armies of both sides did not dare to slaughter the civilians of the enemy country too blatantly, at most they only burned crops, destroyed village buildings, turned civilians into wandering victims, and put pressure on the enemy's logistics and civil affairs.

However, there are also small forces that do not belong to North Sunderland or Lorenço at all, and have begun to fish in troubled waters in this military conflict.

For example, Erwin and Susan are now seeing a group of armed men numbering about 100 and wearing the uniforms of the North Sunderland army, burning and looting in a village belonging to Lorenzo.

Both of them hid in the woods not far from the village, calmly watching the atrocities of what could be described as brutes.

It's not that they've all become cold-blooded, it's that they've come all the way from Tórshavn, and I've seen this scene I don't know how many times, at first they would come to the rescue because of anger, but slowly later, even Susan began to become numb and powerless.

With such a large-scale ****, just one or two people can't turn the situation around.

It's also unfortunate to say, not long after the two left Tórshavn, the military conflict between the two kingdoms began to explode, and when they got the news, the two happened to be not far from the battle area, and they could even see the battlefield filled with gunpowder from a distance.

At this time, it was no longer practical to return to Tórshavn, and the main communication arteries on the border were completely blocked, so the two men had to walk through the back of the road, intending to bypass the battlefield and enter Lorenzo from other places.

Originally, seeing this situation, Erwin and Susan both turned around and left silently, but there were other reasons for hiding here to peek this time.

The people in front of them in army uniforms are actually not the army of North Sendland, but bandits who are pretending to be the army.

After they burn and loot, they will leave one or two alive, and then blame the evil consequences on North Sunderland, making profits while provoking the conflict between the two kingdoms deeper.

This behavior reminded Erwin of the Steeltooth Hammer Bandits, but recently he got the news that after the Steeltooth Hammer lost Hammer Cyril, the brainless Steeltooth Scott was soon ambushed by the army, and the bandit group that had been raging on the Iron Hoof Plains for many years finally ushered in the fall.

Without guessing, Erwin knew that this must be Hale's handiwork, and the chess piece arranged by the Sect of the End of Mankind was knocked out.

However, that was limited to North Sunderland, and there was no doubt that there were pawns set up by the Sect of the End on Lorenzo's side, which should have the same effect as the steel-toothed hammer, pretending to be an army to raid the village and sow discord between the two countries.

And after many years, these chess pieces have finally begun to take effect, this time the military conflict between North Sunderland and Lorenzo, if there is no end church stirring up trouble inside, Erwin will not believe it. And the scene in front of him also confirmed his idea - this group of people pretending to be the North Sunderland army should be a bandit gang in Lorenzo.

As for which bandit group it was, Erwin couldn't guess, after all, the Cultists of the End had not been exposed here in the Iron Hoof Plains in the game, and the secret of the Iron Hammer was also based on accidents.

There are as many bandit groups on the border as there are in North Sunderland, and Erwin might be able to find them one by one if he has time, but time is the most pressing thing right now.

And he didn't want to wade into the muddy waters.

After watching for a while, the atrocities of the robbers in the distance were coming to an end, the villagers were almost killed, and the originally snow-white ground was also stained with sharp footprints and bloodstains, and the robbers looted money and women, and then began to set fire to the house.

"Let's go." Erwin turned to Susan and said that if he continued to watch, there would be no unexpected results, but he would be depressed for a whole day.

Susan nodded, but her gaze, which was about to be withdrawn from the village, suddenly froze, and she raised her hand and pointed forward, and said to Erwin, "Look. ”

Erwin looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw a man suddenly galloping out of the burning village, and behind him, three robbers were equally riding and brandishing their weapons after the man.

This is also a common sight, as there are usually small garrisons in the villages, and these lightly trained militia may not be able to fight robbers, but there is no problem in escaping, especially if they have horses.

However, the man who escaped from the village at this time was riding a bantam horse with little leg strength and stamina, and the three robbers who were chasing after him were all riding military horses with excellent endurance and explosive power, and most importantly, the man who seemed to be a militiaman was running in the direction where Erwin and Susan were hiding.

Erwin glanced at it, a thought flashed through his mind, then reached out and patted Susan on the shoulder and whispered, "Save him." ”

Susan had the same intention of doing so, and she had taken off her winged bow and reached out of her quiver (which she had replaced the quiver she didn't like when she was in Tórshavn) out of her three arrows.

Then the girl took a slight breath of cold air and jerked herself up from the snow, the snowflakes that had accumulated on the shadow cloak shook off by her movements, revealing a dark and smooth color.

In Erwin's opinion, Susan's archery skills were slowly improving at a very steady level, and it might be a little difficult for her to shoot three bows and arrows at the same time and hit the target when she first met. But now, she doesn't even seem to need to aim, standing, setting up arrows, holding a bow, shooting, the four actions have been completed in an instant.

Three bows and arrows roared out, instantly swept a distance of nearly 100 meters, and flew past the man who was suspected of being a militiaman, and the whistling sound even startled him and his horse.

The man thought it was the bow and arrow shot by the pursuers behind him, and hurriedly lay down on the horse, but the next moment he heard three clear falling sounds in a row, and couldn't help but look back, and was suddenly surprised to see that three pursuers not far from him had fallen off the horse, one of them couldn't see clearly, but the other two obviously had a bow and arrow that almost pierced through the chest.

The man's military literacy made him understand in an instant that the sound of the bow and arrow just now was not from his back, but from directly in front of him.

This thought made the man quickly look ahead, and in front of him was a whole low, somewhat sparse forest, the leaves of which had already fallen away, and the black branches of the trees were reaching into the sky with their teeth and claws, like a dying old man. On the boundary between the black woods and the white ground, two black figures shuttled through the gaps between the trees and soon disappeared.

The robbers in the village also seemed to have realized the situation here, and they rode after them.

The man glanced back, as if struggling to consider something, and finally gritted his teeth, and rushed into the grove with the reins.

After shooting the three robbers, Susan thought that Erwin would meet the man who was being chased, but he just got up and patted the snow on his body, and then pulled her away.

The two have been together for a long time, and when they saw Susan's appearance, Erwin knew what she was wondering about, and turned to her and said, "That person will catch up with us if he is smart enough, and he will be surrounded by robbers if he stays and talks nonsense." ”

Erwin now has some plans in mind, and sometimes he will refer to or ask for her opinion, just like when he teamed up with his teammates in the game, rather than just thinking of her as a little girl who is good at archery but doesn't know anything.

The two of them returned to the depths of the woods, where the two black-maned horses, who had followed them since the Black Pearl Cell, were playing with their hooves to cut through the snow and hard dirt, and gnaw at the roots.

As soon as he got on the horse, there was a clear sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the man who had escaped from the village had indeed caught up, but behind him, more than a dozen robbers were chasing him.

Erwin glanced back, a smile on his lips, and then gently pinched the horse's belly with his feet, and as the black-maned horse scurried forward, he picked up Susan's reins with him, as if he were carrying her with him.

Erwin stopped looking behind him, and just pulled Susan's horse and ran into the woods, whispering in his mouth, "I'll leave it to you, Silvermoon's archers."

Susan stabbed him with her winged bow in disgust, the guy had used Illya's nickname to make fun of her since she said goodbye, and she couldn't call the shy thing about the prophet of the white or the inheritor of the stars.

Turning around from the horse, Susan's amber eyes stared at the dozen robbers chasing behind, and her gaze instantly sharpened.

It wasn't comfortable to sit on horseback, but it would take about a minute for her to hold on.
