28: The Land of Despair

On a trail in a forest.

A group of more than 20 people is constantly moving forward.

"We're going to Fort Gramis, aren't we?" asked a young man on horseback.

The guide who walked in front replied, "Yes, Lord of the City, we can provide trade and trade, and the closest to our Flying City is Fort Glamis." ”

This group of people was led by Aslan to buy things, and after a few days of preparation, he led the team to set off.

He took Handini, who was in charge of security, and a dozen or so recruits he had selected, and in the training of recruits in Flying City, Handini had handed over to his vice-captain, Wacona.

Waconnor was also another junior swordsman sent to the army by Aslan, and was also a character trained in the barracks during the Imperial era, compared to Handini, Vaconnor was more rigid and serious, especially in the army's requirements, which was notoriously harsh.

In addition, Aslan also has a crossbowman who wears a white cloak and carries a large toolbox on his back, and he summons a crossbowman from Aslan, a crossbowman in Heroes of Invincible 6, named Bill.

During the few days of Aslan's retreat, Michelo was always in charge of contacting, and Michelo's evaluation of him was that he did not use his weapon, the sword qi of a high-level swordsman, and the combat level of an intermediate swordsman, but when he picked up the divine crossbow, the crossbow arrow shot was comparable to the full force of the swordsmith.

It was also here that Aslan understood that this world was important for the samurai rank, apprenticeship, junior high school and senior high school level. After that, there are the masters, the masters, the grandmasters, the great masters.

After that, Michelo knew, he only knew that there was an existence beyond the level of the Great Grandmaster, and Patrick Sarah, that is, Aslan's father, was the existence of the Great Grandmaster.

Then the Michelo steward sent him two men, one named Iizzak, a hunter, who was very familiar with the terrain and road conditions, and Tiago, who was said to have been a former merchant but was attacked by robbers on the way to transport goods. After that, he fled to Flying City and lived a life of survival.

As for Fort Glamis, which they are going to this time, it is a very prosperous city, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most powerful and prosperous city in the south of the empire, and his lord is said to be a nobleman with a knighthood.

"Thiago, do you know who we are going to go to when we get to Fort Glamis? Michelo asked Thiago.

"Lord of the City, I have been to Fort Glamis a few times when I was doing business, and I still know these things very well. Thiago squeezed out a smile on his wrinkled face, a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a sense of vicissitudes on his face, and you could feel how disappointed he was in his life.

Aslan turned to Handini and Bill and said, "It's a bit of a long way this time, and it's up to you to be safe on the road." ”

"No problem, we will definitely protect the city lord to the death. Handini put his hand on the iron sword at his waist and said firmly.

For the sake of the concealment of this operation, Aslan did not arrange for Handini and his soldiers to wear out the armor, but only asked them to bring some iron swords and bows and arrows just in case.

Even the heavily armed Bill wears a large white cloak to hide his body, and the Holy Arbalest is kept in a toolbox.

"By the way, from now on, you don't call me lord or lord of the city, but call me lord. We are just a caravan that comes out to do business. Are you clear!" Aslan thought of this and ordered.

"Yes, sir."

"Got it, sir."

"Yes, Lord Aslan!"

"Okay, that's it, be careful. Aslan stressed again.

Soon, the night slowly darkened.

"It's getting dark, so let's camp here, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning. Aslan dismounted from his horse and asked Yitzhak, "How long is it until Fort Gramis?" ”

Yitzhak thought for a moment and said, "Lead...... My lord, at our pace today, we will be there in three or four days. ”

Three or four days! It looks like it's going to take a while.

"Handini, you send a few men to guard the rest of the people, rest in place. Aslan tied his horse and sat down against a large tree.

As soon as his buttocks occupied, a burst of pain came, for him who was riding a horse for the first time, after a day of riding, his buttocks had already been rubbed and was about to bleed.

Aslan endured it slowly, until he got used to this kind of pain, how chic it was to watch others ride horses on TV before, and he knew that he had ridden it himself, this was really not something that ordinary people could bear.

"What's wrong with you, sir, your face is a little bad. Yitzhak asked when he saw Aslan, who was a little strange.

"It's fine, it's just a little tiring after a long day's journey. Aslan was embarrassed to say that because he couldn't ride a horse, his butt was about to grind red.

At this time, Handini took out the dry food that had been prepared before the departure and distributed it to everyone.

Aslan put this dry cake-like thing in his mouth, chewed a few bites, and the taste was very average, just like eating instant noodles dry, or the kind without seasoning packets.

A fire was lit in the middle of the procession, and everyone had finished their meals and began to fall asleep slowly, except for Handini's night watchman.

Aslan didn't fall asleep immediately, his eyes looked at the starry sky in the middle of the night, to be honest, the starry sky of the other world was much more beautiful than the starry sky surrounded by pollution on Earth, and when he lived in the city, he could hardly see the stars at night.

Slowly, the exhaustion of a day's journey began to sweep through his body, and drowsiness took over his body.

On the third day

Aslan: They passed through a city that was about to be deserted.

"Where is this? Why don't you even have a wall? "To be honest, if Aslan hadn't walked to a place more than ten meters away, he didn't expect this place to be a city at all.

There was a hint of pity in Yitzhak's eyes: "This was originally a place called Pitantine Town, but in four or five years, this place experienced a catastrophe, just like when we were in the Flying City, there was no harvest for two consecutive years, and then it seemed that another plague broke out, killing many people at once, and almost spreading to the surrounding cities. Fortunately, the people of the church sent a pastor to cast a spell and eradicate the plague that raged. ”

But at that time, the city was hopeless, and the city lord had already taken his property and his family and didn't know where to go, leaving a group of people to survive here, living on a little simple income. ”

Aslan found that the experience of this city is very similar to that of Flying City, fortunately he has crossed over, and there is no plague like here, such a thing as a plague in this world is very terrifying, and if there is no special medicine or priest's treatment, it will cause a lot of death.

"It's all a bunch of poor people. Aslan stopped and dismounted from his horse.

"The great God of Light is above, and your sincere messenger begs you to ......"

When Aslan's incantation was finished, a breath full of light and sacredness slowly diffused from Aslan's body, and finally centered on him, and a milky white halo spread out around him.

That's low-level light magic, light purification, and the size of the purification range is determined by the strength of the magician.
