Chapter 114 Departure
"Where's Meow?"
After spending a winter in the town of Wildmins, Leo and Nana finally remembered to return to Istangal.
But the day before she returned, Nana couldn't find the fat ginger cat like a pig anyway.
Leo opened his senses and found his majestic figure in another house.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, this hundred cats have found the next place to stay." ”
Nana stopped looking around, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good." ”
"Don't you feel sad?" said Leo, touching Nana's hair.
"It doesn't belong to us in the first place, it's the mascot of this town, and it's too selfish to take it away. Nana was not so sad about the meow that had been with them for a winter, and the joy it brought them was enough to smooth out the reluctance to separate.
"What about Nika, won't you say goodbye to them?" Leo asked again, kissing Nana's forehead.
"Nope. Nana shook her head. "I left them a note and a bag of candy on the table, and that was enough. ”
Overnight, neither of them slept, and quietly left the town of Minutemins in the faint light of the early morning.
Istangarh, as always, was filled with the cacophony of dwarves and the smell of gunpowder.
Many dwarves vaguely remembered the regimental commander who had fought side by side with their little steel hammer, and greeted him one after another.
Leo responded one by one.
But compared to the siege he received in the town of Wilmins, Leo always felt a little less interesting.
"Yo, it's all there. Leo pushed open the heavy door and greeted Isenas as he sat at the table.
The four people in the room raised their heads one after another.
Isenus said angrily: "You still know that you will come back, and we will leave you, the regimental commander, and set off by ourselves in a few days later." ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of paper from the pile of papers on the table and handed it to Leo: "This is the news that I got from going out to find out during this time, we are going to pass through the 'water source' along the way..."
Before Isenus could finish speaking, Leo pushed away the paper in Isenus's hand: "Let's go to Far Eastern City first." ”
Ethanaston choked up.
"Why did you go to Far Eastern City?" asked Isenaus, a little unpleasant.
"Because Nana's brother is there. ”
Isenus choked again.
He didn't have to guess to know that with Leo's bad character, as long as he refused, his savings with Nana would not be thought of taking out again.
"Alright, Far East City. With a vicious voice, Isenus crumpled up the plan in his hand and threw it away in the trash. "What is Far East City? Wait!
Esenas seemed to remember something, and hurriedly took out a piece of information from the pile of papers.
Seeing that Esenas seemed to know something about this place, Leo hurriedly stepped up.
"Far East City, yes, it's this. You're really going to be in trouble, Leo. Isenus frowned and handed the paper in his hand again.
Leo took the paper and looked at the dense text on it.
Isenus turned around and explained to the others, "Remember the war between the God of the Sky and the Marquis of Golden Sands?"
The crowd nodded.
It was a bloody war, and it was the first time that the name of the Dragon Adventure Group was heard on the world's stage.
The Sky Church's act of sacrificing a village was also deeply memorable to them.
"At that time, I wondered why the Sky Church had sent such a large army to suppress a mere marquis, and had used such an important figure as Babanik as its commander. Esenas muttered.
"Since the defeat of the Sky Church, they have recruited a large number of believers again, which is also known to us, and for this reason, we have also gone out of our way to assassinate the Pope of the Sky Church. Isenas glanced at Leo as the culprit and continued: "But unfortunately, after such a drastic change, the Sky Church still did not stop this stupid behavior, the God of the Sky personally intervened, used the oracle to designate the next pope, forcefully carried out the recruitment operation, and just after the end of this winter, launched another attack on the Marquis of Jinshafeng. ”
"But what does this have to do with Far Eastern City?" asked Paul Jr. "I remember that there doesn't seem to be such a city as Far Eastern City in the territory of the Marquis of Jinshafeng, right?"
"Not really. Leo put down the information in his hand. "Far Eastern City is a fortress built by four dukes to defend against the combined invasion of the gods of the kingdom of faith. It just so happened that the territory of the Marquis of Golden Sands happened to be the fastest path to Far Eastern City for the Sky Church. ”
With a solemn face, he picked up the map from the table and rewrote it with a pen.
Duke of Sandfox, Duke of Clover, Duke of Cowinshire, Grand Duke Frederick.
The four names are heavily circled.
Leo's hand trembled slightly as he crossed the name of Archduke Frederick.
Church of the God of Victory, Church of the God of the Sky, Church of the Moon Goddess.
The three churches were again circled by Leo.
Among the line segments where these seven forces are connected one by one, the territory of the Marquis of Jinshafeng is exactly in three of them.
"According to Izenas's intelligence, the Marquis of Jinshafeng swore allegiance to the Duke of Sand Fox, and it was an extremely important combat power under the Duke of Sand Fox. Coupled with the excellent geographical location, the Sky Church tried its best to suppress the Marquis of Jinshafeng and his vassals and prevent them from joining the battle. ”
"In other words, we are now in the past, just in time for a war. Isenas added.
Wars, wars, and wars, and there are always wars on this land.
This duel involving seven top forces is a rare and huge war in recent years.
"How's it going?" said Izenus with a searching gaze at Leo.
"Go, of course. Leo said categorically. "That's Nana's only relative, so we'll have to take a look anyway. ”
"Okay, then I'll change my plan. Isenus lowered his eyes and threw his arms around the table.
No one noticed that Isenas was shaking slightly as his finger slid over a name on the map.
The itinerary was quickly set, and it was better to enter Far Eastern City before the war began than to enter after the war.
After a hurried farewell to Teklin and Secrin, the party returned to the territory of the Sky Church.
Every village was depressed, the men were soldiers, the old people, the women and children were busy ploughing.
And those men who have only been trained for a few months are most likely to be cannon fodder on the battlefield, providing the main force with an opportunity to output, which undoubtedly adds new sorrow to these depressed villages.
After experiencing the baptism of Vimins Town, Leo couldn't help but reflect, is the act of shouting for world peace and pacifying the war really for justice?
At least Leo didn't think anyone would cheer for him. Neither the elderly, the women nor the children of these depressed villages.
Driven by kindness and guilt, Leo offered to pay an extra fee for their stay.
Isenus looked at Leo who was a lot kinder in the corners of his eyes in some surprise, and said, "You look like you've changed a lot, what have you experienced this winter?"
"Be a savior, a superhero. Leo said lazily. "Someone else asked me for an autograph. ”
"Wow. Little Paul subconsciously screamed.
"No wonder, a few months ago, you didn't care about this kind of thing. Isenus reached for the kettle and asked again, "What about Nana?
"Haha!" Leo laughed, put his arm around Nana, and kissed her on the cheek.
"Got it?"
"Oh-oh! our captain took our team's little heart liver and little princess. After Esenus screamed a few times, little Paul followed suit, and even Ente, who was usually taciturn, couldn't help but let out a few strange laughs. Fortunately, Omoni also maintained the dignity of a wizard and conjured a bouquet of roses and handed it to Leo.
"No wonder you're going to Far East City, it turns out that you're going to meet your parents. Omoni said with a smile.
Meet the parents?
Leo's heart moved, and the note that revealed a deep concern in the ordinary once again had a different meaning.
Thinking of Nana's brother, Bedounat, out of his understanding of his sister, he had already noticed Nana's small thoughts from Nana's short letterhead, so he strongly invited himself to Far Eastern City, intending to investigate his future brother-in-law.
Thinking of this, Leo hurriedly stood up and gestured to the tavern window.
"How's my outfit?" Leo turned around and looked at his bloated cotton clothes, which were soft and sticking to his body, looking not at all energetic.
"Awful, man. Esenas patted Leo on the shoulder sympathetically.
From the style to the color of this winter suit, Leo and Nana jointly selected, judging from the aesthetics of the two of them, this set of clothes is obviously not something that normal humans would buy.
"But fortunately, this is still some distance from Far East City, no matter how bad it is, there will be ready-to-wear stores in Far East City, where it is just right to change into a set of spring clothes. And you're a viscount, what's there to be afraid of?" said Isennas reasing, half-teasingly.
Leo was relieved.
This winter, for some unknown reason, the entire northern part was plunged into extreme cold, and it was only in the spring that the consequences of the cold winter began to appear, and the floods after the snow melted filled every corner.
The Bisgatti River has grown from a walkable stream to a dragon that wants to devour people.
On the banks of the Bisgati River, Leo and his wife saw a number of troops stationed here waiting to cross the river, with all kinds of banners in them, ranging from marquises, counts, and even barons.
This also made the adventure group realize the determination of both sides of this war from the side.
Finally, after half a month of fast horseback, the adventure group met the Far Eastern City, which was specially built by the four dukes for the war.
