The burning town square, the southern streets have long been shattered under the fierce baptism of catapults, and the lone challenger has broken through the ruins and crossed the sea of fire to go to the appointment, in order to avenge the defeat of the year.

When Shion appeared in the square, Arassis looked a little anxious, and took the initiative to talk to the enemy despite everyone's opposition, and Shiang did not care about the positions of both sides, and did not give the attack order to the dark soldiers around him, and met his old friend head-on.

"Trust me, he'll be back, and you'll be defeated again. Since Kai had not yet arrived, Arassis had the idea of stalling for time, and was ready to attack Shion's confidence with words.

"Obviously, he didn't tell you what happened ten years ago...... Today, you're all going to die here, and until that guy comes back here, I'll tell you this story!"

He let out a loud shout and reached the ears of every guard present, telling the story of Kai and his disappearance for ten years......

Twenty years ago, due to the dissolution of the legendary group - Wings of Freedom, according to the legend obtained from ancient documents, the young and vigorous Eagle and Falcon set foot on the continent of Charlonay to find the inheritance of the world's power, with the help of the Virginian merchant - Rabujiti, according to the road map given by the fur merchant to cross the 10,000-year-old border snow-capped mountains, when the remaining party arrived at the Charonai border in March, immigrating to the homeland of part of the Vigians in Calradia - Snow Country.

At the foot of the towering snow-capped mountains, there are a series of long footprints from a brown-haired man in a gold-rimmed trench coat and another young man in a red coat with beige hair.

"Shion, according to the map, this is the homeland of Virgian, known as the Land of Snow. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's our goals...... The lost power mentioned in the ancient books, as long as you get it, you can obtain a strength that is incomparable to peerless martial arts. ”

"yes...... It's been my dream, and so are you...... Let's hurry up!"

The two patted the snow stains on their bodies, continued to walk forward on knee-deep snow, and successfully visited a Vigia village, exchanged a bag of silver coins for a new outfit and two fast horses from the southern grasslands, and turned to the ruins to the northeast - Drua.

A few years later, in a town full of gray sand on the border of Drua, the fate of the two finally came to the test......

"To this day, it's been ten years, haven't you given up? You can also see the faces of those people, if you continue to stay, I am afraid that you will be worried about your life. "Inside a large stone brick building, a powerful sound was heard, accompanied by the sound of hammers hitting metal.

The gloomy workshop was filled with smoke until someone opened the window to let in a little fresh air, and the sunlight followed in, illuminating the humble blacksmith's shop, where an unusually tall man in a leather jacket was repairing a black steel sword at the workbench with a sledgehammer, surrounded by smoke from the furnace.

"Lao You, my sword hasn't been repaired yet, if I want to break into the forbidden area, I'm afraid I'll have to deal with the knight of the Bravo family first. ”

Shi Ang didn't care about the blacksmith's kindness, released an internal energy from his body to blow away the smoke screen in front of him, came to the blacksmith's side and asked for his weapon, ten years have passed, his face has added a little stubble, but the eagle-like eyes seem to tell him that he has not slacked off in training, and still has the strength of the year, or even stronger.

"Listen to me, old friend, even if you and Kebrak can be one of the hundreds, but Daist Bravo is not a figure that can be challenged casually, he is the supreme knight of the Church, and there are countless strongmen under his command, since you have offended his family and survived by hiding in the only free place in Druya, why do you still fight him?"

"Hmph...... I have my own way, if Akai can let go of his affair, we can use Daist's daughter, Katrina Bravo, to get permission to enter the forbidden area, but it should be irreparable for her, and the consequences will be terrible, and in the end, I may need your help and the people's help. ”

"Looks like you've added me, an outsider, to your plans...... However, I, Yumengand, as the mayor of Zenzar, have provided you with shelter for several years, so how can I let you go at this time, as long as you can do what you promised the townspeople, overthrow the dictatorship of the Knights, and pass the news of Zenzar to the upper echelons of the church, so as to get rid of the situation of the people in front of you. ”

Expressing his willingness to continue working with his friend, Yumengander stopped the hammer in his hand, threw the repaired greatsword into the sink to cool down, and handed it over, Shion took the sword and hung it behind his back, thanked him and left......

The town, known as Zonzar, is now the only free zone north of Charlonnay, and within its high walls, about fifty acres of land is home to the Druas who have lived here on their behalf, as well as the Vigians who have moved in peace. Coupled with the changes that have taken place in Kusca in the south in recent years, the hero of the steppe people - Azabel Shamir died, and his son Bestur Shamir led the Black Flag tribe to declare war on the orthodox Khanate of Karadia, many nomads who did not want to kill each other have migrated to the north, most of them settled in the snow country to live with the Vigians, and the remaining part came to Zenzar to try their luck, thus further expanding the population of this place. Agriculture has achieved good results, and at this time there are nearly 1,000 people.

The Knights that Yumengund is worried about are a powerful army led by the Bravo family, and the Dark Knights, who were defeated in the Holy War but have survived to this day, although they have lost the strength to sweep Calradia back then, they can still dominate the north of Charonnay. Drua was originally a papal state, but the only pope - Medius died and there was no successor, the Bravo family monopolized all domestic government affairs when the church gradually declined, as the regent Daist restrained the people with a strict system, starting from the north, more than forty percent of the territory in the country has been divided into forbidden areas for military expansion, prohibiting citizens from entering for any reason, the nearest part is only five leagues away from Zonzar, which means that sooner or later the territory around Zonzar will be annexed, which has already aroused public anger, the only way to solve all this is to make the church but as a Drua people, Yumengund is unwilling to defy the law, so he pinned his hopes on two outsiders, in order to enter the forbidden area to find the target they longed for, they have been staying here for ten years.

A few days ago, during his last attempt to break into the penalty area, Shion had fought a fierce battle with Ingrebravo, a powerful black knight of the Knights, and damaged his weapon in the duel, only to be able to escape and flee back to Zonzar thanks to the help of Kebrek. Ingres' patrol also caught up, and in the face of pressure from Yumengande and nearly a thousand residents, he did not issue a warrant for the arrest of Zenzar, but his troops remained nearby, blocking all access to the outside.

"Mr. Freeman, this is for you, it was sent by Uncle Kai~"

"Thanks, the town won't be too calm these days, stay safe. ”

As soon as he left Yumengand's workshop, a boy ran up to him and handed him a piece of parchment with a map on it, and after thanking the boy who sent the letter, Shion began to think of a plan to break out of the blockade without touching the alarm, and his steps naturally quickened, and he hurried straight to where Kai was.

Across the town's stream, a man in a long trench coat and a boy in a cloth coat were sitting on a huge bluestone and chatting about something, throwing a few stones into the stream from time to time.

The boy was none other than Finreal ten years ago, and the man with long hair and back and a mustache on his upper lip was Kebrek, who, unlike Shion, who was always nervous, was less anxious and more laid-back.

"Good apprentice, you can ride my horse, as long as you don't hurt it, go now. ”

After receiving permission from his master to use the horses, Finreal got up and left, but turned around and bumped into Shiang, chatting with him before leaving, after which Shion sat down on a boulder nearby.

"Have you seen the coordinates of those sentry posts? In the past three years, you have been in charge of infiltrating the investigation, and I have been in charge of breaking through head-on, and this is the only gain that has been achieved in exchange for almost all your life, and the farthest one in the northeast corner of the map is the location of the Holy See, which means that we must pass through forty-seven outposts, and there are no shortcuts. After making sure that no one was around, Kai put away his harpoon and began to talk about the map.

"The military quality of the Druas is much higher than that of the Calradian countries, there are almost no gaps, what is the use of this map? The coordinates marked on it are not only the church and the ancient altar we are going to, but also the Knights of the Shadow Castle, ten years later, are you still thinking about that noble lady?" Shion examined the coordinates marked on the map, expressing his doubts about the daughter of the knight commander he had mentioned earlier.

At the mention of this, Kai suddenly became very excited, and Shion also knew something, so he continued to sarcastic: "So, you took the opportunity of your tryst with Katrina to bring back the landmark?

"I know what you're thinking, you want to use Katrina and Hela as bargaining chips in exchange for permission to enter the restricted area, maybe Daist will agree, but it's too dangerous, they're my wife and daughter!" he guessed what Shion was thinking, and bluntly refused.

"Then you should also know that once we have achieved our goal, we will return to Calradia, and the reason why you continue to team with me is just to see your wife and daughter?"

Facing Kai, who was bound by his feelings, Shi Ang was a little speechless, and after a few words of advice, he gave up the topic, took off the powerful sword qi generated by the big sword and swung wildly to cut the entire stream, and the splashing mist degraded them, which dragged Kai's thoughts out of his personal feelings.

"Alright, let's get down to business! Angels' patrol surrounds this place, this will be the first time in years that we have gone head-to-head with the knights of the Bravo family, and we can't even get rid of Lao You and the townspeople, what do you think we should do?"

"Ingres is the strongest knight of the Bravo family, he is as famous in Drua as Atros is in Calradia, we should catch his weakness, he values honor, and if we challenge him head-on, we should get an answer. So...... Do you want to fight him again?"

Kai analyzed the enemy's situation and believed that it was necessary to challenge the enemy head-on and use a personal duel to demoralize the opponent, so that it was possible to make the patrol withdraw to the base area without bloodshed, and also to win the opportunity for them to re-enter the restricted area.

"I've lost interest in him, it's up to you to fight, Ingres has been chasing you for years, just because of your relationship with his sister. ”

"Okay, I'll go get ready, and I'll see Angel outside the town at noon, do you want to come along?"

"Of course...... Otherwise, if something goes wrong, no one will be able to help you. (To be continued...) ）
