The new mission is to drive out the orc bandits in the Cellissy Valley, and since Ivo joins him, Lear has a tendency to sweep away the difficult households on the mission list one by one, if it weren't for the current serious lack of strength and Adela's strong opposition, he would have directly challenged the majesty of the cyclops.

As a very powerful ranged class in the Barbarian territory, the short axes in the hands of the Orc warriors are more terrifying than the Singers, and their innate talent allows them to smash the axe anywhere they want from a distance of two hundred meters, and even in close combat, they are not easy to mess with with with half of the Demon Beast blood.

After Tanan suffered the biggest defeat of his life at the foot of the wall, all sorts of barbarians, orcs, and bandits swarmed all over the place, most of them remnants of the war who had been scattered in the war, but gathered together to survive.

But having lost the support of the people and loyalty to their leaders, these people lost their faith.

That's the group of people Lear is going to fight.

They raided passing caravans and nearby villages, killing anyone who dared to resist them and plundering their property, and then, when Sarabuto sent out regular troops to encircle them, they were scattered into the boulder crevices of the Cellisi Valley and into the mountains and forests behind.

This was a great headache for the Governor, but there was nothing he could do.

But Lear appreciates it.

This group of orcs has vividly comprehended the essence of the later Taizu's theory of guerrilla warfare.

But appreciation is appreciation, and when it comes to gold coins, Lear never relents.

The Celissi valley is more than 400 kilometers east of Sarabuto, because it is a relatively gentle section of the Cerdeeli River, and the Sarabhutos built a bridge more than 100 meters long that can accommodate four carriages in parallel in that valley, which is the most important reason why the orc gang is active in that area.

Before leaving, Lear had asked Kenloe Haag if there would be any acquaintances in his bandit team, and if so, he would be able to use the banner of an acquaintance to come to the door, after all, they were all under the leadership of the same hero.

But the barbarian said that he was only the lowest infantryman, and he was only responsible for charging into battle each time, and after each time he would have some new faces around him, so he didn't know anyone for a long time, and no one knew him.

Then there is only a fight.

It was about two and a half days to ride to the Cellisi Valley, and Lear didn't want to rush too much, because the bumps on horseback were a bit torture compared to his weak constitution, so he preferred to swing slowly, so the next day after the sun went down, the team chose to rest in a woods one hundred and fifty kilometers away from the Cellisi Valley.

"I think I can talk to them. ”

As Lear was bored fiddling with the bonfire in front of him with a twig, Adra, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke.

"Them?"

Lear didn't know who they were referring to.

"Orcs.

Unlike Harpys and Songs, they are sapient creatures closer to us, and the Barbarians and Orc legions have been the backbone of resistance to tyranny and darkness throughout history, remaining neutral rather than fighting for the tiger in even the most chaotic history.

So I want to talk to them, after all, our mission this time is only to evict, not eliminate. ”

"Go ahead, take Haag with you. ”

Lear lay on the grass behind him with his head in his hands and a smile on his face.

His female diplomat is finally about to open another battlefield in her life, where her light will be even more dazzling, and her demeanor will be unmatched.

I'm looking forward to it.

The next morning, Lear stopped five kilometers from the Cellisi Valley, expressing deep concern about Adela's adventure, but Haag was excited about the great axe with a white cloth tied to its blade.

Every barbarian has the fearless blood of adventurers flowing in his bones, and the more thrilling and exciting the situation, the more it can arouse their fighting spirit, which is the soul of the race and the gift of the ancestors.

"Good luck beautiful lady, I am waiting for your good news here. ”

Lear originally wanted to give Adela a kiss on the back of his hand like a gentleman in Western movies, but the other party sat on horseback and didn't give him this chance at all, so he had to loosen Adra's horse rope and awkwardly wish her good luck.

There must be worry, but he knew that he couldn't show it at such a time, because from the way Adela looked at him, he could feel that the other person was eager for his trust and encouragement, which would increase his confidence.

"Thank you for your trust. ”

Adela gently pulled the horse's rope and galloped with Haag towards the Chelisi Valley in the distance.

............

"Stop! ”

Dotze and Harry jumped out from behind the rocks where they were hiding, pointing their hatchets at each other, but they didn't attack immediately because of the white cloth tied to the axes of the incoming people.

"Adela from the Sarabuto Mage Guild, this is my companion Kenlo Haag, who, as you can see, is also a barbarian warrior. ”

Adela flipped off her horse, her eyes looking straight into the other's eyes, making herself look peaceful and sincere but not at all cowardly.

"Go back! Sarabuto people are not welcome here. And you, who have become a lackey of humans, the beast gods will be ashamed of you. ”

Dozer shouted angrily.

If they were not the remnants of the army, if it were not for the remnants of the army's discipline and the rules of the battlefield that still restrained them, and the other party raised the white flag first, he would have thrown the axe in the face of the comer.

"I want to see your leader, and the beast god Tirvak is only ashamed of cowardice, but never reproaches the brave, and my companion and I have shown him courage by coming alone. ”

Adela said lightly, she even took a small half step forward, and from the surprised gaze of the orcs, she could tell that they had felt the firmness of this slender human female mage.

"Let them come. ”

From behind Doze and Harry came a somewhat tired voice, a voice that was erratic and confused, and although it still sounded full of energy, it felt like it had lost its soul, and it made Adela's eyes light up slightly.

"Hello, Your Excellency. My name is Adra. ”

Adela stood still in front of a middle-aged orc, politely but gracefully, Haag standing half behind her, but his weapon was confiscated before he could walk over.

"Sit down, Lady Adra, I'm the leader of this place, Caron, please explain your intentions. ”

Cuarón casually pointed to the stone in front of him, he was not interested in the two people in front of him, but as a veteran, he also knew the horror of magicians, he didn't want to offend these people, he just wanted to deal with them quickly and send them back.

"Before I explain my intentions, may I take the liberty of asking you a few questions? ”

Adela sat upright on the stone in front of Karon, never taking her eyes off the other's eyes in the process.

"You ask. ”

Caron was still a little absent-minded.

"How long have you been wandering into the Cellissy Valley?"

Adela cleverly avoided the words that would provoke a violent reaction from the other party, and wandering was more likely to arouse the sadness in the other person's heart, as well as nostalgia for their homeland and glorious past.

Sure enough, Caron looked up at Adela, and his eyes overflowed with sadness.

"It's been more than a year, when Lord Tanan encountered the trickery of the wizard king under the wall peak, most of the army was lost, except for a few lucky ones who belonged directly to the adults, we climbed over the Aliland Snow Mountain, through the Forest of No Return and the newly established Erathia, and finally reached here, but less than a third of the number of people who set out, Tirvak is on top, why let the orcs suffer such an ordeal. ”

After saying that, Caron looked at Hag behind Adela, and the latter's eyes also showed the sadness of remembering the past suffering.

"Is this warrior behind you also from Lord Tanan?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, I have been on the same journey as you, but I am alone. ”

Hag greeted Caron with his hand on his chest, a barbarian ritual.

"Then you are truly a brave warrior, and both Tirwak and Lord Tanan will be proud of you. ”

Seeing that the conversation was about to be led into endless memories by the two of them, Adela was silently anxious, but she couldn't interrupt them with words, such an impolite behavior would immediately arouse the other party's disgust, so her purpose this time was completely defeated.

"I'm proud of Tirwak and Lord Tanan, but I'm luckier than you are that I now have a good place to belong. ”

If anyone in the future said in front of Adela that barbarians have no wisdom, then she would definitely sneer at the other party.

"Oh, where do you be?"

The same encounter and different situation obviously aroused Caron's interest, and he looked at Haag, and his eyes were no longer the same as before.

"On the banks of the river, less than five kilometers from you, sir, a great magician awaits you. ”

Adela has finally found the space to interject, and she needs to seize the moment to steer the conversation back on the right path.

"Are you all his subordinates?"

Cuarón asked.

Yes or no, there is no doubt that we are all following Him, but He treats each of us like friends, like brothers and sisters, no matter how good or inferior. ”

Adela is taking the initiative little by little.

"Oh, such a leader is indeed rare, even the great Lord Tanan can only treat his captains as friends, so what will I gain if I go with you to meet him?"

Cuarón was a little excited.

"Formal identity, no longer homeless wanderers, abundant food and shelter, no more hunger and cold and displacement, a chance to regain the glory you once had but lost. ”

Adela threw an olive branch.

"And what do I get if I refuse? war?"

Cuarón was clearly moved, and although he was asking, the twinkle in his eyes showed that he was making a final confirmation.

"No, you won't get war, and even if you reject me, you'll only lose the opportunity to regain your glory and settle your people, Lord Lear is a forgiving man, he won't retaliate for your refusal, he will choose to leave, and you choose to continue to decline. ”

"Last question, how many of you are there now?"

Cuarón stood up, and it was clear that he was about to make a decision.

"Seven. ”

Adela was honest.

"Hahahahaha ”

Cuarón suddenly felt that he was being teased, and anger filled his heart, the reason why he did not kill Adela immediately was entirely for the sake of the other party's constant respect for him, and as a veteran, the two armies did not fight each other, and it was also a rule that bound him.

"A moment of weakness does not mean forever weak, and it looks strong is not necessarily really strong, if you can't conform to the general trend of fate, even if it is now a giant pillar of the sky, it will one day be crushed under the tide of fate, what we have is the courage to follow the prophet to explore and explore, and what you lack is a long-term vision for the future, I am all here, retire!"

Adela got up from the stone and walked backwards without looking back.

Haag laughed and snorted, slamming his fist to the rock where Adela had been sitting.

As they were gone, the rock crumbled into a puddle of powdered mutilation in front of Karon.

"Wait!"

As Adela took the reins of his horse, a shout suddenly rang out from behind him.
