The team made slight adjustments in personnel and configuration, and the rangers, who were originally responsible for the safety of the front and rear flanks, were all concentrated in the forward position. The safety of the princess's carriage and the rear was the sole responsibility of the guards she had brought out of the imperial capital.

In other words, all of Elpa's men were moved to the front of the convoy, except for those who were injured and temporarily unable to fight. Even the guards around Herara were transferred from her left and right for various reasons. /+-+*

+-*

*What does the princess mean, Elpa didn't think it was strange at first. Moreover, the relationship between Leila and Loya prompts Elpa not to forget to think about it.

Herara, who remained in the princess's caravan, vaguely felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't say what it was.

It's a bit annoying, but fortunately, the mission is coming to an end. As soon as you get out of the canyon, you will soon be able to meet the principality's envoys who have come to contact. At that time, as long as the convoy is handed over to the other party's escort, the task on your side will be completed.

Instantly, everyone can all return to the fortress. After that, the task of protecting the princess fell entirely on Anna alone.

It's just that the closer she gets to her destination, the more Herara feels that the atmosphere of the convoy has become weird. His cronies, all the soldiers belonging to the northern fortress were transferred.

Caring for wounded soldiers, guarding equipment, and the royal guard are not suitable for cooperating with the Northern Army in order to avoid suspicion...... , for a variety of reasons.

Strangely, these orders were conveyed by Vier. Ever since Herara had interrogated the captain of her guard, the princess had not been seen.

During this time, the convoy was on the move.

Probably because he didn't give face to this princess, he was isolated in this way.

Thinking of this, Herara glanced at the guards around her. That kind of hateful gaze will be deliberately avoided at first, but after leaving the canyon, it will begin to become unscrupulous.

It didn't matter, Herara suddenly discovered. The princess's guard did not know when a large number of fresh faces were mixed in.

Although they all wore battle helmets, Herara could tell them at a glance from the way they looked and the way they rode their horses.

In Herara's opinion, although the Guards are also considered the elite of the Empire, they are not at the same level as these people at all. According to the level of adventurers, if the members of the Guards are between platinum and Mithril, then these people who suddenly appear are definitely close to the Oymagne.

Some of them even surpassed the orichalcum, and although Herala was not afraid of these people, his subordinates were still a little worse than these people. And the eyes of these people are very cold, so cold that even Herara feels the back of his head tingle.

Not only that, judging purely from the feelings, the strength of this group of people is probably between the top and bottom of the orich. But it can appear silently and evade its own perception. Based on this alone, these people don't look like they are just a bronze-level strength.

Herara couldn't help but bite the nail of her thumb, an action she would do whenever she had a difficult problem.

Herara is different from Elpa, if Elpa is a front-line combat member, Herara is more of a military advisor-like figure. At this point she remembered the conversation she had overheard before she set off, and then looked sideways at the carriage in which the princess was riding.

Furrowed his brows, he spoke alone,

"Hopefully that isn't true. ”

[Forward Alpha calls the Guards, and our department has been in contact with the Principality's envoys.] ]

Just as Herara was struggling with Elpa, the radio heard the news that Jifang had joined up with the Duchy personnel. This meant that their escort mission was coming to an end, much to Herara's relief. The original intention of talking to Elpa was immediately dispelled.

It stands to reason that Belma and Bantu are also a little related. But over the course of hundreds of years, the people of the Duchy of Belmar have completely departed from the Bantu physiognomy and are more like the Vikings of medieval Northern Austria.

And this time the escort was the Frankenstein Regiment, which had been on a flank attack mission during the last cross-border operation.

When the two sides met, they were divided into red-eyed, but out of international etiquette, they restrained each other.

So far, this is the first time that the Frankenstein Legionnaires have suffered a loss on a frontal battlefield, which makes the Frankensteins, known as the "undead", feel that this is a shame for the Legion. And now, this group of Imperial soldiers who have disgraced themselves are in front of them, and it is false to say that they do not hate.

After all, each other is self-aware people, and they both know that they can't leave each other with the excuse to start a war. Official-style communication is even more cautious.

"We are the vanguard of Princess Gongwei, may I ask which part you are. ”

Elpa drove the wolf to the opposing side and stepped off his mount first.

She was greeted by the captain of the hundreds, followed by his deputy.

The captain of the hundred is a man with dark skin and a face full of vicissitudes. A horned helmet unique to the principality with a sea cow leather armor. Reveal your strong physique.

Perhaps because the environment in the north is too harsh, it is estimated that he did it at the age of forty-five from his face full of vicissitudes. However, if you are actually old, it may be much younger.

The deputy seems to be about the same age.

No matter how you look at it, there is a trace of the temperament of the handsome guy in the past, but because of the long military career, the original tender skin has been sharpened more angular. Coupled with the full beard, he is now a sloppy uncle.

"I've kept you waiting, my department is a hundred-man squad belonging to the Duchy Frankenstein Legion. I'll leave the princess's protection to us. ”

The two sides nodded and exchanged tokens, which can be regarded as a connection. After that, just wait quietly for the princess's carriage to come.

"Please use it. ”

In the makeshift tent, a guard placed two crude iron cups on the table. The reason for the two drinks was that Elpa was accompanied by only another captain man, and the others were still in charge of standing by or returning to inform and greet the carriage.

Elpa picked it up symbolically and took a sip before placing it back on the table.

I didn't feel thirsty, and I didn't want to take off my mask because I was drinking. But the deputy who accompanied her in front of him clenched the cup with both hands and didn't want to let go.

The already frozen hands began to feel again.

While Elpa and the others were drinking tea and chatting, the princess's carriage also quickened its pace.

After the convoy arrived at the predetermined location, Herara, who was traveling with the car, suddenly found that Elpa's team had quietly divided the two parts. What worries her the most is that Elpa is not present at this time.

Until the two sides exchanged letters, Elpa still did not show up.

If Elpa doesn't show up, Herara can't take the lead and leave. The princess, who had been sitting in the carriage, did not react at all to this matter.

None of this makes sense.
