By the time Cheese and Heather had finished talking, it was already night, and after it was determined that the mage's team would be with the Knights of the Hammer, they exchanged views on many of the issues they were facing. Chief among them is the stay of the residents of Sweetwater. Obviously, the cave was no longer safe, and while a troglodyte attack of this magnitude was unlikely to happen again, leaving the camp sheltered by Cheese and Heather would probably cost the price of blood under the attack of a small group of trolodyte wanderers. So migration is almost certain, then the second question is where to migrate. Mages and knights have different opinions on this.

Heather thinks that the inhabitants of Sweetwater can enter the Duchy of Hammer against the path she came from, and according to what the knightess has seen along the way, the passage is considered safe, and there are enough resources such as water on the way to provide the necessary supplies for the residents. However, Cheese disagrees with the other party's opinion, and in the mage's opinion, the female knight chief's so-called safety is unreliable, and a team of knights trained and fast is completely incomparable to the townspeople who have just experienced a vicious battle. If nothing else, the long journey from here to the western part of the county will cause a lot of trouble. In contrast, Cheese believes that the best migration direction for these residents of Sweetwater Town should be Dragonspine Mountain in the north, the fortress of the Frost Guardian is not crowded, and the legionary lifestyle also makes their food reserves very sufficient, and the most important thing is that although they have paid a terrible price, these residents of Sweetwater Town have indeed avoided the plague because of the devil's trade, and the mage has observed this camp for a long time, and he can guarantee that no one infected by the rat-man plague will be found among these people, so these healthy residents should leave the county as soon as possible, so as to reduce their risk of being infected by the plague。

"But there's no guarantee that they'll be accepted by the Frost Guards, and the Northlanders are notoriously stubborn. The chief knight said.

This is what Cheese didn't expect, the legion has always been faintly excluded from the political map of the empire, although the successive commanders of the Frost Guardian nominally have the noble titles of the empire, but in fact, everyone in the north knows that these Northlanders don't care about the power of the south at all, although they will not exclude outsiders, but the people in the south are not willing to be close to a bitter cold place like Longji Mountain, so even in the bordering county of Salon, the people who have dealt with the Northlanders are limited to those merchants who buy goods and a few nobles, and the reputation of the Frost Guard has nothing to do with kindness in the eyes of ordinary people。

"It's not a problem, now that Lord Cheese has confirmed that the inhabitants of Sweetwater are not infected by the plague, I don't think the Commander will turn them away. These were the words of Mona, who arrived later. The female warrior was still very clear about the character of her commander, and since Cheese had ensured that these people were not infected by the plague, Commander Jon would not refuse to take shelter in these refugees temporarily.

Now that the Frost Guards are safeguarded by the female warriors, Mayor Bender has decided to lead the residents of Sweetwater to seek refuge in Dragonspine Mountain for the time being, compared to navigating through the dangerous county. And Cheese also offered to let Hahn return to the town below the mountain with the team of Sweetwater Town, although the injury of "Wild Boar" was not very serious, but the location of his back injury caused Hahn's actions to be affected to some extent, the mage was worried that the intensity of his next action would worsen his injury, and the wound close to the spine was likely to lead to paralysis, for a brave warrior like Hahn, not being able to move freely was probably one of the most unacceptable endings.

Although Mona objected to Cheese's proposal at first, after all, Commander Jon had asked them to use their lives to ensure Cheese's safety before they set off, but as a warrior who had been on the front line for a long time, Mona also knew the embarrassment of Hahn's injury, and the mage proposed to have Heather's knights with him, so it didn't matter much in terms of safety. The female warrior finally agreed to let the "boar" return to Longji Mountain with the residents of Sweetwater. Of course, it will take a few more people to get Hahn, who wakes up later, to accept this order.

But in any case, after the relocation plan was finalized that day, Mayor Bender began to mobilize the residents of Sweetwater to relocate. The camp was meant to be a temporary dwelling, and most of the townspeople were able to pack their belongings quickly, but the troubles were probably the wounded from the previous battles. These wounded are still recovering, and it is difficult to endure the pain of long-distance bumps, but the rendezvous between Cheese and the others and the Kingdom Knights must be as soon as possible, and in desperation, Heather can only leave ten knights as the guards of the camp in Sweetwater Town to stay here temporarily, wait for the wounded to stabilize their condition for two days to protect them to the north, and then turn back to Vale City to join the large army. The rest of the people, together with the remaining four members of the cheese team, set off for Canyon City in the early morning of the next day after repairing for half a day.

It is worth mentioning that the night before they left, Cheese had left the camp alone for a while. The large number of cavemen before made the mage keenly aware of some abnormalities, coupled with the deal with the devil described by the mayor, Cheese felt the need to talk to the devil who had harvested the memories of everyone in Sweetwater Town for ten years, because judging from the abnormal offensive of the cavemen, the other party probably did not want to let go of the residents of Sweetwater Town so easily.

However, this was a secret for most people that night, and even Heather didn't know that Cheese had ever left the camp, and even less that the mage was going to talk to the devil, to be precise, the only person who knew about it was Cheese himself, and Elsa, who had been following Cheese's movements. But no matter how the proprietress asked later, Cheese didn't tell her about the negotiation with the devil, only that the devil wouldn't trouble the residents of Sweetwater anymore. Of course, this answer didn't satisfy Elsa, but in order to prevent others from knowing about it and adding panic, she couldn't keep asking Cheese.

As for whether Cheese found the devil or not, and how he made him give up on the residents of Sweetwater, these things are still the secret in the mage's heart for the time being, and no third person can know until he or the devil takes the initiative to make it public.

The next morning, the sun could not be seen in the cave, but the good habits of the knights made their biological clocks extremely accurate, or rather, except for Cheese, a mage who was accustomed to pampering, everyone else could guess the approximate time by physiological experience. In short, while most of the inhabitants of Sweetwater were still in their precious rest time after the battle, the reinforced Cheese Squad had already bid farewell to Mayor Bender and left the layers of caves in the remaining veins of Dragonspine Mountain, and they would follow Dragon's Blood Creek all the way south to the agreed location with the Kingdom Knights, the capital of the county of Salon, Canyon City. What they didn't know was that the Knights of the Kingdom, who had arrived a few days earlier, had already run into trouble there that was many times more difficult than the cavemen.
