Chapter 34: The Tower of the Bright Stars
"According to the normal situation, their last cavalry squadron as a mobile force, should have gotten the news when we met Andrea's squadron, and then quickly rushed here to cooperate with Andrea to surround us, but I don't know why they haven't appeared so far, but now it is very likely that they have arrived near us, I have arranged for people to be on guard around the perimeter, and they will report back to me if there is a situation. ”
"So what do we do now?"
Barron was not a master tactician in his previous life, but at least he had participated in various in-game battles, which were often dominated by the game system, resulting in being extremely close to reality, and even most of the battles were generated with reference to famous battles in reality, so he was no stranger to various troop formations, but he lacked sufficient intelligence support, resulting in a complete inability to express opinions on the things in front of him.
But looking at the simple map Pande had drawn on the ground, he knew that the situation behind the convoy would be even more dangerous.
"Continue to Yez Town! Only when we arrive in Yez Town, merge the mercenaries of the two caravans in Yez Town, and then rely on Yez Town to defend it, we have a glimmer of hope! In any case, Count Harold is a vassal of the Nader Kingdom after all, if he dares to send a large army to attack the towns belonging to the kingdom unscrupulously, then Count Mex can completely consider him a rebel and apply for the mobilization of the garrison of Silver Snow Castle to quell the rebellion. ”
"As long as Count Harold estimates this, he will send a small number of troops at most, pretending to be horse bandits and the like, to attack Yez Town, and then we will have room to maneuver by relying on Yez Town to defend it. ”
With that, Pande stood up and kicked the stone, which represented Andrea's cavalry squadron, away.
"What's more, the other party should not know for the time being that we have defeated Andrea's cavalry squadron, so we will have enough time to go to Yez Town from the current gap overnight, and we will be lucky to reach our destination early tomorrow morning. ”
"Understood, I'll arrange it right away. Barron said as he turned around and arranged for the remaining surviving guards to begin the move.
At this time, Monlia and the others had already collected all the ashes of the dead guards, because they really couldn't tell who was who, so they could only put them in a large container and bury them separately later.
Soon Barron gathered the rest of the people, briefly told them about the situation they were facing, and then everyone arranged three horses to take turns to ride in order to reach Yez Town the next morning, and now they had no shortage of war horses. Then the two seriously wounded were tied to four war horses with a simple wooden frame, and as for whether they could survive until Yezi Town, it was also up to fate.
When they set out, the sun had completely sunk in the west, and the sky was completely dark, and Barron and the others did not even use torches to avoid being discovered, but fortunately, a little starlight had begun to appear in the sky at this time, allowing them to move forward by the faint starlight.

In a dark spherical stone room, hundreds of crystal mirrors, large and small, cover all the walls of the stone room. The crystal mirror presents not the situation of the stone room, but a different picture.
Flames are boiling, waves are surging, dark and silent, green, starry, clouds and so on.
In the center of the stone room, a thin middle-aged man in a dark blue robe sat on a stone chair floating in mid-air, staring intently at the picture in the crystal mirror.
"Poof!" There was a soft sound, and the picture of the flames boiling in a mirror directly opposite the middle-aged man suddenly disappeared and became pitch black.
After a brief period of darkness, ripples rippled on the surface of the mirror, and finally a minaret appeared inside the mirror.
"Honorable Observer, Second Order Wizard, Master of Sky City, Lord Cicen Obrela, Shining Star Tower brings sincere and beautiful greetings!"
"Star Tower brings sincere and beautiful greetings!"
"Good regards!"
"Greetings!"
As the minaret appears in the frame, a hoarse voice resounds in the stone chamber and continues to echo.
"It turned out to be the respected immortal, the second-order wizard, the tower master of the sixth star tower of the Bright Star Tower, Lord Suni Hasfit, I don't know what happened to you visiting Sky City this time. The middle-aged man, or rather Obreira, asked softly.
"I'm so sorry that's the way it is...... , so our Sixth Star Tower wants to use the power of Sky City, or more specifically, the ability of the 'Mirror of the World' to help me find someone!" said Sunny Hasfitt slowly.
"This is impossible, you should know what the 'World Mirror' is for, how can you use it casually. Aubreira rejected Hasfit's request.
"Dear Lord Obrera, of course I know the importance of the 'World Mirror', but I also know that for you who have the first-level authority of the 'World Mirror', my request is not excessive, and our Sixth Star Tower is willing to give you the corresponding sincerity. Hasfitt is clearly confident in convincing.
"I don't think you can pay much for an 'apprentice'. Aubreira didn't let up.
"Although he is only a low-level 'apprentice', for the Bright Star Tower, anyone's betrayal is unforgivable, and the Bright Star Tower will always have only one result for the traitor - eternal silence!
Aubreira did not reply to Hasfit immediately, but was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "I want to see your sincerity!"
"Of course, our sincerity will definitely satisfy you!" Hasfitt said quickly.
"Very well, I will give you the information you need within 90 sunsets of receiving your sincerity. ”
"Thank you, Lord Obrera, for your help, and may the friendship between the Bright Star Tower and Sky City last forever!"
"May friendship last forever!"
After achieving his goal, Hasfit's voice gradually dissipated, and the image of the spire in the crystal mirror slowly began to fade.
"By the way, you haven't said who you're looking for?" asked Aubreira suddenly.
At this time, the image of the spire in the crystal mirror had completely disappeared, and it returned to the scene of boiling flames, and only one echo still echoed in the stone room.
"Arcadia!"
Then the stone chamber fell silent again.
I don't know how much time passed, and a chuckle sounded in the stone room.
"Immortal? Something interesting seems to have happened. ”
