"The necklace that Miss Delia told you to get is here, and we can get out of here!" said Carrie, taking out a handkerchief, wiping the sweat from her face, and smiling innocently.

And Avi and Big Nose Fan, who were standing outside the iron bar, were thinking about their own things and did not respond to Carrie.

After a while, Avi handed the necklace in his hand to Carrie, and he sat down on the spot and said, "We almost died just now, didn't Miss Delia want us to go to the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment to complete the mission?

Now it was left that Big-Nosed Fan was holding the torch, and the other two torches had fallen in the tomb. And because of her petite stature, Carrie stood in the corner, her whole body was about to be covered in shadows, just like the person Avi saw in Ben Nicott's memory. She walked over to Avi, bent down and touched Avi's slightly curly hair with one hand and said, "Miss Delia just trusted us to let us retrieve the necklace, maybe she hasn't been here before, so she doesn't know that there is danger here?" Avi looked at Carrie's big innocent eyes, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Okay, okay, we've got the necklace anyway, let's get out of here right now!" Big-Nosed Fan walked back with the torch, but when he took a few steps, he stopped and said, "But how do we get to the joint now, there is no way out of this cave, is there?"

"No, Miss Delia said, go up the cave stream above, and you will be able to leave this cave!" Carrie's words really angered Fan, in fact, they could have left directly without getting down to take this necklace, but Fan didn't have a seizure, just sighed and said, "Alas, we haven't figured out who made that voice just now, and we don't know who the man who was sealed by the crystal is, should we report this to Miss Delia?"

Avi stood up, shook his head and said, "No matter who made the sound, everything is buried in it, let's go directly!" Now Avi only felt a little dizzy, which was different from the feeling on the snowy mountain, he just wanted to lie down and sleep for a while, and leave everything else aside. But those incredible things just now have made Avi clearly understand that this world is not as simple as he originally imagined, and he began to regret leaving the horse farm a little, after all, it is warm and cozy, and the outside world is cold and dangerous.

Fan was at the front, followed by the other two, and followed the stone path back to the exit of the creek. The three of them have been acting quietly, walking back step by step. Except for the faint sound of the creek, no other sound could be heard in the entire cavern.

After walking for about half an hour, the three of them found a bend in the upper reaches of the creek, and walked along the cave passage for a long time before they saw the exit of the cave.

The three of them had not slept all night, and now that it was dawn, they hurriedly took out dry food and water and distributed some food to everyone to satisfy their hunger.

"This side of the cave is already the territory of the Kingdom of Kosai. Fan pointed to the lush forest ahead. The forest in front of you is obviously different from the forest of the Oguna Empire, the leaves here are more spiky, while the leaves on the other side of the empire are thicker, and the huge difference in weather temperature between the two places can be seen.

And this cave is just halfway up a mountain, and apparently in terms of elevation, the land of the Oguna Empire is somewhat higher than that of the Kosai Kingdom. With the cool breeze, Avi, leaning against a large rock, fell asleep in a daze, perhaps because he did get the necklace in his hands this time to complete the task, Carrie and Fan didn't wake him up, so they let him fall asleep.

"We need to get to the town ahead as soon as possible, or the people will leave. Fan leaned against a rock, took off his soaked boots, and went barefoot, while placing the iron gun on the ground and wiping it carefully.

"Let him take a break, after all, he was an ordinary little groom two months ago. Carrie took out a comb and combed her black hair, she hadn't washed her hair for a few days, but there was still no trace of split ends and boring, and a bit of femininity appeared on her slightly lolita face.

And Avi dreamed of Ben Nickot's face again, and this time Ben Nickot's eyes did not bleed, but stood on a spar and sneered, looking at Avi with closed eyes, and stopped talking.

As the sun approached noon, the three of them set off again and headed for their intended town.

"There shouldn't be anything stopping our plans this time, just wait for me to dictate what Miss Delia told the connector," Carrie said, looking at Avi, "By the way, give him the necklace too, I have to tell Miss Delia that we almost sacrificed our lives to snatch the necklace back from the zombies!" Avi didn't laugh when he heard her joke, because he felt that he had really snatched the necklace back from a horrible memory.

"And Uncle 'Sailor' said that this is an express train, and it is estimated that it will be able to reach the territory of the Republic of Marvier in about fifteen to twenty days," said the big-nosed fan, "if nothing else." ”

We generally call unexpected things accidents, and there are too many unexpected things in the life of Big Nose Fan.

At the same time, on the border between the Kingdom of Kosai and the Republic of Marvil, nearly 100,000 regular troops of the Kingdom of Kosai were about to be assembled.

Behind one of the few hills along the lake in the desert and the desert between the two countries, thousands of camps were lined up, with a wooden sentry post between every ten tents, and a water reservoir between every twenty tents. The entire camp was laid out on a flat ground unaffected by the wind and sand, and the tents and watchtowers were not so high that it was difficult to tell from a distance that it was a military camp.

Although there were nearly 100,000 troops, there were no people walking around the barracks at will, and the patrols were also holding halberds and shields, with a team of eight people, walking and patrolling in six directions of the barracks.

In the very center of the barracks there was a nondescript medium-sized tent in which a military meeting was taking place.

"There hasn't been any news of this large-scale invasion of Marvil, has it?" said the Marquis of Ampvo of the Kingdom of Cose, seated in the first chair under the throne, his hands folded on each other, pressed against the hilt of the great sword on his chest. The tip of the scabbard, which was straight into the ground, shone slightly white.

Chief of General Staff Colin who was sitting opposite him chuckled softly, and then slowly took out a paper report and said: "The troops mobilized this time are all elite troops deep in the northeast of the Kingdom of Cose, they have undergone long-term training and have little contact with the outside world, so there is no chance for them to leak the news. As soon as he had finished speaking, he turned the page again, but his eyes did not look at the marquis, and said, "And the main general in charge of this military operation," he said here and paused, raised his head and glanced at everyone present—Jack, the king of the kingdom of Cose, who sat on the throne, the king's uncle, the marquis of Ampvo, and several of the best generals of the kingdom. "Without exception, they are the most loyal to the king, so the possibility of leaking the word is basically zero. ”

"Hmph, Mr. Colin, you are not a Kosai and may not know that we have a proverb, 'There is no garment that cannot be pierced by a cold wind, and no body that cannot be pierced by a sword'. The Marquis's two beards were long and curly, which he had been able to do for many years, and this added some credibility to what he said.

"Uncle is too worried, I have never doubted any of my own soldiers!" Brother Jack stood up, his height of nearly one meter nine and dark green plate armor set off his exemplary features of a warrior. With straight eyebrows, a wide mouth, a high nose, and the scar on his face, Jack, known as the "Green Ghost", learned martial arts at the age of five and became the best graduate of the Academy at the age of ten. The subjects of the kingdom of Kosai considered him to be the sharpest sword of the kingdom of Kosai - a young man who was no more than twenty years old.

"But," said the dark-skinned, sturdy Marquis of Ampvo, straightening his back even more, "Isn't it precisely because of the presence of traitors in this republic that we have attacked Marvier?"

The chief of the general staff, Colin, put the paper report on his lap, lowered his head and played with his wrench, the light yellow wrench was very valuable, and it looked even more expensive with the thick cotton shirt with gold silk on a white background.

"The Republic is a group of people bound together by interests, they are different from us Cosaies, the cold makes us strong, the cold makes us unyielding!" Jack Lang said.

"The cold makes us strong, the cold makes us unyielding!" shouted everyone except Colin as he left his seat, knelt down on one knee, and clenched his right hand into a fist over his chest.

But even though Colin, an Imperial man, didn't shout the Kosai slogan along with him, he immediately put down the paper report and knelt down on one knee to Jack in a decent manner.

"This time, with the assistance of the vultures of the Mercenary Guild, it is estimated that the capture of Honor City is just around the corner. ”

Ampvo coughed lightly, and he wanted to remind Jack again: "Those guys are open to money, maybe the idiot rulers of the republic still have some ideals, but the mercenaries are completely unreliable and their combat effectiveness is also very poor, Your Highness should pay more attention." ”

Colin flipped another page of the report and said, "The Marquis doesn't have to worry about this, those mercenaries will never go against the 100,000 regular army of the kingdom, and the only one that can pose a threat is the Moon Shield mercenary group," he pointed to a sentence on the report with his finger, "Their Russell regimental leader has taken that life weapon, his fate is uncertain, and his whereabouts are unknown." The Chief of the General Staff said so, but he did not fully believe the report in his heart, and the nobles who should have returned a long time ago had been informed that they had been completely destroyed by the attack, and the important information they held in their hands was also missing.

Jack looked up at the top of the tent, let out a long sigh, and said, "My father died at the hands of Russell, but unfortunately I have not been able to avenge you!"
