Carmen Alicia and the others continued south along the free city-states, and the further they went into the hinterland of the southern free city-states, the more dangerous they became. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Taligo, if you want to continue south, then you must be careful, it is full of dangers, wars are continuous, and the mercenaries involved in the war do not matter where you come from, passing caravans, adventurers, etc., are all killed. ”

Tali still remembers that this was the last reminder that Bagio had given to Tully before he and Bagio parted, that Bagio had also gone deep into the hinterland of the Southern Free City-States in order to besiege the Midtown Federation for the sake of shareholders in the Southern Free City-States, but the lords there were still fighting each other, and Baggio was also in vain there.

"After we go deep into the hinterland of the free city-state, try to hurry, enter the city-state as little as possible, and be more careful when camping, there are many mercenaries in this area, and they will capture and rob passing merchants at will. Tully reminded everyone that they had no opinion on this, after all, the war in this land has lasted for a hundred years, and the people on the continent of Yarrow know the cruelty and ruthlessness of this land.

Alicia and her party moved quickly, and in three days, they traveled through countless free city-states, during which they also witnessed the brutality of the war in this place.

In the wild, dead corpses are everywhere, ghouls gnaw at the decomposing corpses unscrupulously, so many corpses, no one has to deal with them, I don't know if they are too lazy to deal with them, or there are too many corpses, it is not easy to deal with them, in short, these untreated corpses have attracted countless ghouls, and ghouls have become the most common creatures in the wilderness of the free city-state.

"Dead creatures that break the balance!" Miria fired another arrow, hitting the ghoul in the face, and the last ghoul fell, and everyone looked around to make sure there was no danger before putting away their weapons in turn.

"Are you going to burn all the corpses around here?" asked Spencer Jessica to Alicia and Tully.

As long as the corpse is burned, it will not attract ghouls, this kind of thing is known to everyone, but in this area, no one does that, ghouls will constantly gnaw on these corpses, and will attack nearby villages, so that the people of the village will not only face the harm and danger brought by the war, but also face the threat of death brought by ghouls at any time.

“...... No, the corpses here are so scattered, almost all over the wilderness, we don't have time to gather them and burn them. Alicia seemed to struggle for a moment, but she made a decision, and Tully agreed with it, although it was a little ruthless, but this was definitely not the time to be kind.

"But in this case, the people in this nearby village are too pitiful. Terry couldn't help but speak, and Jessica agreed that the body should be burned.

"Remember, we are not omnipotent gods, there are some things that we need to make a trade-off, if we burn the corpse here, we will definitely attract the attention of the mercenaries, do you want to put Alicia in danger then?!" Tully said with a serious expression, which made it difficult for Terry and Jessica to speak, because they also understood the situation.

Sometimes, ignoring the reality of the situation, but blindly doing good, this is a very distorted value, only when you have real ability, you can better change the dirty things, although Alicia is young, but she knows better than anyone else.

Everyone packed up their things and continued to the south, but before they could take a step, they heard a noisy sound not far away, Tali quickly ordered everyone to hide in the bushes, Alicia and the others saw that there was a group of mercenary-looking people coming over, they laughed and scolded all the way, they should have just won the battle.

"Hey!Quint!I really like the way you just executed that guy, you cut your head in half with a sword, that's cool!" said a short, short, sharp-beaked mercenary with a sharp beak, his voice very sharp and very harsh.

"Hmph! Lao Tzu is invincible!" This guy named Quint is a tall and powerful bear orc, his face is full of scars, and he looks like a veteran who has fought countless battles on the battlefield.

"Vic, you still like to pat Quint's ass so much, but in our mercenary group, it's useless to just pat on the back, you better kill more people on the battlefield. A mercenary with a wicked smile on his face and a very treacherous look said.

This man has long hair, looks powerful, although not as strong as the bear beast Quint, but among humans, he is also a strong warrior, and this person also carries a beautiful young woman with a bound and gagged mouth on his shoulder.

"Shut up, Frankie, I've killed more people on the battlefield today than you're, you pervert knows how to rush straight to the lord's daughter's room!"

Obviously, the short, sharp-beaked mercenary was Vic, and he scolded the long-haired Frankie with disgust, but Frankie just smirked, completely ignoring Vic's taunts.

"Frankie, if you want to get that bitch, you'd better find a random place to solve it here, and kill her when you're done, I don't think Lord Will will allow you to bring that bitch with cheap blood into the Fog Castle. Said a tall, olive-skinned woman.

This woman has a deep scar on her left eye, so that she can't see with this eye, this woman is not good-looking, she seems very warlike.

"I don't want it! This little beauty can let me enjoy it for a while! I don't care what Lord Will says!"

When Frankie heard the woman's words, he showed a look of disgust, which made the woman frown slightly, and put her hand on the handle of the axe, and Frankie also noticed the woman's strangeness, he hurriedly took two steps back, and looked at the woman with a cautious face.

"Frankie, just listen to Sora, it won't hurt you. At this moment, a bald man with a pale face and no blood suddenly spoke.

As the man spoke, the other mercenaries lowered their heads slightly, even the strong bear orc just now, and Frankie lowered his head in horror, and the only one who didn't bow his head was the woman named Sora, who held her head high and looked proud.

"Yes! I know! Boss!" said Frankie, who said hurriedly, sweat already running down his forehead, and only after the pale man nodded slightly, Frankie dared to pick up the tied woman on his back and run into the bushes in the distance.

"Hmph, Henry has to lead the way. Sora said with some dissatisfaction, and the man named Henry just shook his hand, and he ordered the mercenary group to rest for a while, and wait for Frankie to solve it before taking action.

The mercenaries sat on the spot, laughing and making noise, and a few mercenaries began to patrol the vicinity, which made Alicia and the others very nervous, at this time, there was also a woman's miserable cry and Frankie's cruel laughter in the distance, Alicia and the others were a little indignant when they heard this voice, Terry even wanted to rush out, but was stopped by Jessica and Joseph, fortunately, the sound they made was long been covered by the laughter of the mercenaries.

The woman's screams grew louder and louder, and Frankie's laughter grew louder and louder, but such a cruel thing made the mercenaries laugh even more.

"Frankie, my brother, don't kill that bitch when you're done!" one of the mercenaries shouted with a laugh, drawing a chorus of applause from the other mercenaries.

After a while, Frankie said hello, and several mercenaries stood up together with a smile and walked towards Frankie, and after a while, Frankie walked back with a wicked smile, and the screams of the woman over there continued, but the voice was getting quieter and quieter, perhaps because of despair.

The mercenaries stayed here for a long time, and during this period, Alicia and the others did not dare to stay in the bushes without moving, there were many mercenaries, and Alicia and the others were not completely sure of fighting them, so they could only endure the anger in their hearts at this time.

I don't know how long it took, with an axe swing, the woman's head fell to the ground, this cruel game was declared to end, the last mercenary who carried out the bestiality, holding the woman's head high, dancing into the mercenary crowd, these inhuman beasts, actually broke out into excited cheers, the woman's head, the expression was sluggish, obviously she had finally lost all hope, so in despair, waiting for the cry of death, maybe death for her, is the best relief.

The mercenaries struck again, throwing the woman's head aside, and then laughing and laughing as if it were all taken for granted, and perhaps humanity had been lost from them.

After the mercenary left, Terry's angry scolding came from the bushes, not only Terry, but also Jessica, Miria, Jordan and others were all disgusted and full of anger, and Alicia only felt very helpless, what could the Queen of the Night of the Free Frontier do?

"Remember, they're mercenaries from the Will family of Foggy Castle, and we should all remember that because we're from the Free Frontiers!" Tully said coldly, to which everyone nodded silently.

"War will really change a lot of things, people will lose their humanity in endless wars, so we must remember today, remember the people who have suffered miserably, and then let us try to strengthen ourselves until we are strong enough to change all these injustices. ”

Alicia looked at her companions, and she shouted in a rare voice, and everyone, even Misty, believed Alicia's words, everyone needs to be stronger, and the Free Frontier needs to be stronger.

Alicia and the others packed up their things and continued to move forward, but at this time Tully was worried, Alicia saw that Tully had concerns in her heart, she walked to Tully's side, Tully saw Alicia coming, so he nodded slightly, he also saw that Alicia was worried about him, so he smiled slightly.

"I think I've heard of the Will family in Foggy Castle. Tully said softly, not waiting for Alicia to speak, Tully had wanted to tell her what he knew.

"What's that?" said Alicia, too.

"Will Berg, Lord of Foggy Castle, the most brutal lord of the Southern Free City-States, and the most powerful lord in the entire Southern Free City-State, it is often said that perhaps only this cruel Will Berg is the most likely to end the Hundred Years' War. Tully said softly, thinking of the difficulty of the trip when he heard the mercenaries talk about the Fog Castle.

"Is Foggy Castle around here, can't we get around it?" Alicia also felt uneasy.

"The sphere of influence of Wuling Fort is very large, and I originally wanted to bypass it, but since this place has been captured by Wuling Fort, I think the route that was drawn up before has also fallen into the hands of the Will family of Wuling Fort, so we can't bypass here, so we can only be careful about this. Tully said helplessly.

The Will family of Foggy Castle is stronger than expected, and they have already captured several free city-states in the vicinity, making it impossible for Tully to bypass Foggy Castle.

Alicia was quite helpless when she knew all this, but the road back to her hometown still had to go on, and there was war all around her, so when there was no way out, she had to risk the danger and cross the sphere of influence of Wuling Castle......
