The sorceress flew towards Sardenberg at top speed without hesitating her magic, the wind crashing against the spell shield that protected her, and she couldn't help but recall the day her children were born......

The two little ones, who looked exactly the same, white and tender, soft and warm, writhed and cried healthily and energetically in the arms of the midwife, but they were quiet the moment they were held in their arms—from that moment on, her original world collapsed, and the two children became everything to hers.

With the necklace separated from Rod, she had little magic to find her son right away. Rather than searching aimlessly, she felt that the biggest threat to her children should be addressed first. She hadn't heard of this man, and she didn't want to know what it was, but she knew that someone who wanted to destroy what she held most dear to her, whoever he was, would face the wrath of a mother, a powerful mother.

......

The tall walls of Anteli's capital came into view, and she slowed down towards the widest and largest building in the middle.

＊＊＊

Rhodes didn't know that for the first time in months, he and his mother had been less than a hundred miles apart, almost passing by. He and Ryan had disembarked early to get back on solid ground, and the owner had not stopped until the docks at first, but under the watchful eye of the gleaming statue of Kyle the Great on the newly minted gold Mild coin, all was fine.

If the pursuers had come on horseback along the river, the two sides would have been separated by a wide Wakhran River, and if they had been pursued by boat, it would have been difficult to expect them to disembark in a place where there was no pier.

The two men brushed off the mud from their shoes, turned over their horses, and began to find their way south at a moderate speed without overdrawing their horsepower.

The road was more lively than they expected, and from time to time groups of travelers were hurrying on their backs or in horse-drawn carriages, and within two or three hours of coming ashore, they encountered two groups of soldiers carrying flags of different patterns and dozens of hundreds of winds galloping along the road...... Both of them were thieves, and when they saw such a large army, they naturally hid on the side of the road early, but fortunately, these soldiers did not come at them. The march of soldiers of this scale is not an everyday scenery, and they have met again and again today, so two times, both of them held back their doubts.

"Isn't the place where Duke Morey raised his troops in the east of Antelli, why is there a war here?"

"How do I know, I'll find a place to eat later, you can find someone to ask. ”

"How far is this from the Empire?"

"Three or four hundred miles, if you go in a straight line, but that's impossible. ”

Slightly away from Sardenberg, unconsciously growing some beard and cutting off his hair, Rhodes and the wanted portrait are judged to be two people, not at all worried about being recognized. When they arrived at a small village, they found that many of them were packing up their things to leave, and had gotten some food in a small inn, and finally figured out what had happened by asking them: the Midland army had invaded Anteli the previous morning, and had broken through the forts of Pitar and Viña and were heading north, and although they were still far from here, those who had the slightest conditions were ready to flee.

They understood what was going on with the troops they had encountered on the road in the morning, and it was the army that the lords had sent to the front to prepare for the attack, and Antelli was now in the middle of the double trouble of civil strife and invasion by foreign enemies, and even the layman could see that the situation was very bad.

......

"The most ridiculous thing is that Midland actually sent troops under the same banner as Duke Morey - it is a ......ridiculous thing to rescue Queen Elaine from the control of Duke Tully."

"Huh. Rod Qiang laughed a few times, looked at the monster hunter, and couldn't help but wonder - could it be that the wild hunt really has the aura of bringing war, otherwise why would there be war everywhere all of a sudden?

Waiting for the innkeeper to leave, Ruien frowned: "Do you still continue to go south, I have seen several wars, large and small, and it is very dangerous to rush into the battlefield alone." ”

Rod sighed and handed the chicken leg to Nakarya, and the she-wolf bit down excitedly, chewing the bones and flesh into her stomach, and continued to wag her tail at the boy.

He looked down and thought for a moment, then made a decision - to go back to that familiar home. Whether he is an artificial person or a modified person, he has to ask clearly. As for what kind of treatment he will suffer after that, when he finds out his true background, he will leave it to his parents: "As long as I show my identification, the Midland army will send someone to take me home." ”

"I don't know who you are, maybe your identity is good enough to be treated like this, but threats on the battlefield can come from many places. The hunter shook his head: "How brutal and savage a soldier in war can be, no one who has ever seen it can imagine. Burning, killing, looting, and creating panic are all pieces of cake. According to the so-called battlefield discipline, no matter which side of the army can shoot you directly as a spy and spy, even if it is your own country's army, after sacking and killing you and burying you in the ground, who can know that they have attacked a country's nobles? Even if both sides are well-disciplined regular armies, the threat may come from the homeless people who have lost their shelter due to the war and the robbers who take advantage of the opportunity to stir up trouble. In short, in times of war, I would rather go to no man's land and face all kinds of ferocious monsters than people. The behavior of wild beasts is basically instinctive, but the actions of humans can destroy nature. My advice is to stay away from the battlefield first, and then take a detour or find a channel to notify the Imperial army and have them send someone to pick you up. ”

"No, I've decided, go south straight from here, I'll get a sword later, I'm sure I'll be able to protect myself. ”

"Okay, then let's go our separate ways here after this meal, good luck. ”

"Thanks, I'll give you all the money in the bag later, and buy Nakalya more good food. Rod sighed sadly, "After all, no matter what kind of situation I have to face when I get back home, I won't need any money." ”

"You ran away from home?" The hunter didn't understand the meaning of the young man's words, but still rejected him: "You better keep some of it, the money will be used when you hate less, and when you understand this, you must have fallen into an embarrassment." ”

......

The two parted ways, because before they could finish eating, a group of soldiers barged in, and Rhodes subconsciously went to get his weapons, but found that the target of the comer was not himself: "Don't eat and clean up your things and go north! An hour later, we set fire to the village!"

"What?" the innkeeper was taken aback, and hurried forward to ask the leading officer about the situation.

"The Midland mongrels didn't bring enough food and grass in order to achieve the lightning raid, the order from above is to retreat to the hinterland of the kingdom, you only have one hour, when the time comes, we will set fire directly, don't leave a grain of grain for those bitches!"
