Chapter 63: The Border City

"Miss Rosie, I can testify to this, because of the urgency of the military situation, the convoy has been moving along the avenue, and has tried not to delay as much as possible. Roland walked over to Filin and saluted Rosie.

There was a chatter not far away, and it turned out that the soldiers, seeing that the crisis had been resolved, turned back to the convoy and counted the number of weapons and armor. After all, this is a conversation between nobles, and they can't interject.

Only then did Rosie stop asking, turned her head away with disdain, and snorted arrogantly. film

"Lord Duke doesn't have to be so polite, it seems that I have arrived at the right time. The girl said and pointed to the dark ash behind her, and now returned to her usual calm appearance.

Roland smiled kindly and said, "Fortunately, Miss came in time, otherwise we would not be the opponent of that beast." Fei Lin nodded in agreement, if it wasn't for Rosie who came to the rescue at the moment of life and death, I'm afraid that he would have been torn to pieces by the claws of the sword wolf.

"Still, Filin is a brave lad!" Roland said with a smile as he glanced at Filin and looked at Rosie meaningfully.

The girl immediately understood what Roland meant, and her face was flushed, looking very cute.

The three of them walked and talked, and returned to the position of the convoy. After a short rest, Fei Lin and the others embarked on the journey again.

The mountains to the north are towering, and the rich greenery fills the entire view. Gray-blue clouds floated in the sky, and from time to time a few geese flew slowly by.

After a week-long journey, Filin and Rosie finally arrived at their destination.

Located on the northern border of the Titan Empire, Moon is a small town surrounded by mountains with only a tall wall separating the Essit Empire to the north.

Due to its proximity to the Ganges River, it is rich in all kinds of fish products, and the unique flavor of salted dried fish has also become an essential dry food for the Titan soldiers stationed at the border.

The town's mineral resources are not abundant, but there is a surplus of timber. Due to the homogeneity of the industry and the fact that the mountainous terrain is not easy to grow food, there is often a shortage of grain in the town.

In times of peace, townspeople sometimes crossed the two-kilometre-wide Ganges by boat to the trade markets near the border in Esset, where they could buy the necessary clothing and coal, as well as flour and rice.

However, this friendly relationship did not last long, and it was terminated because of the face war between the two countries.

——

The convoy stopped twenty meters from the gate, and Roland sent the guards beside him to deliver the order to the guards at the gate. Filming opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out, the tall gates were closed, and the walls were littered with patrolling soldiers.

During wartime, no foreign population was allowed to enter the country, which was one of the laws explicitly established by the Titan Empire.

After a while, only a "boom~!" sound was heard, and the drawbridge over the city gate slowly lowered, and Roland commanded the team, and the long convoy drove into Moon in an orderly manner.

What made Fei Lin feel very strange was that it was still afternoon, but the streets of the town were few pedestrians, and they all had sad expressions on their faces.

"What happened, why did they become like this?" asked Filin, sitting in the carriage, with a confused expression.

Rosie said angrily: "The Titan Empire has fought dozens of wars with the Essit Empire, and each time the two sides are engaged in battle, the battlefield is directly in front of the town. ”

Filin nodded silently and motioned for the girl to continue.

"Don't you see how many times the wall of Moon has been strengthened to reach such astonishing heights?" Rosie's tone was a little sad.

"It seems that the spread of the war has indeed taken a very heavy toll on the town. Filmin lowered the curtain and sighed.

Moon is on the border of the Empire, and it can be said that it is facing the tip of the spear of the Essit Empire, and the consequences of its fall can be imagined.

Fei Lin seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "By the way, is Lord Shiloh also in the town at this time?"

Rosie shook her head in denial: "The war is in a stalemate, and with my father's personality, I am afraid that he will not stay behind." It is quite possible that he is in the large battalion at the front, directing the situation on the battlefield. ”

"And what about Lord Owen? wasn't he also ordered to be transferred to the front?" Filin was very impressed with the instructor of Loras and Ellie, not because of his outstanding ability, but because of his big, shiny bald head.

"I don't know about this, Owen is an official directly under the Military Aircraft Department, whether it is transferred or appointed or dismissed, the nobles have no right to interfere. Rosie pursed her mouth, and she felt a little sleepy.

The girl yawned, and naturally rested her head on Filin's shoulder. Then he closed his eyes in a daze, and soon fell asleep.

Filin looked at Rosie's sleeping face, her crimson cheeks filled with warmth. At this moment, a wonderful feeling welled up in his heart, and he was slightly surprised.

But the moment he closed his eyes, in the lonely darkness, he seemed to catch a glimpse of the familiar figure again.

Ellie's slender figure appeared in front of her, the white blue bow flowing with milky white light, and the long silver hair like a waterfall looked even more dazzling. There are also the girl's affectionate silver eyes, which seem to be whispering to herself about the sorrow of her past life.

......

"Miss Duke, Film, get out of the car, we're here. Roland's gentle greeting came from outside the door.

Rosie woke up from her dream when she heard the voice, and she found herself lying on Firin's chest. The girl cautiously raised her head, but she happened to meet Filin's eyes, which made her face even redder.

The girl quickly tidied up her clothes, then opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, and Filin walked down with her, but her expression was not quite right.

"Film, is this ......?" Roland asked suspiciously, pointing to a large water stain on Film's chest. Filin forced a smile, and Rosie was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack to get into.

Seeing this, Roland didn't ask, and continued: "You guys will stay at the Starlight Inn for the time being, and I must hand over the list of ordnance to the mayor as soon as possible, and I will say goodbye here." But don't worry, I'll take you to Lord Hiloh before I leave Moon. ”

"Okay, then there's Lord Law. Filming saluted Roland, turned around and took the girl's hand, and walked towards the building not far away.

"If you dare to spread the news that I drool while sleeping, you can show me and see!" said the girl, stomping her foot angrily, but she looked particularly cute.

"Okay, I'll keep it a secret. Fei Linlian claimed that he didn't want to easily offend a terrifying high-level magician.

"It's finally here. Filming looked up at the pattern on the wooden signboard, two daggers crossed each other, and a purple diamond-shaped gem was inlaid on the top of the dagger, which was radiating a psychedelic brilliance.
