Out of the stone forest, the sky was getting dark, the two of them staggered in the snow on horseback, all the way east back to Nanna Village, until the moon climbed overhead, the two unlucky people who had been running around for a day did not find a place to stay, and the two had no choice but to stop by a river.

Alan held a newly-made torch in his left hand, and a pointed wooden stick in his right hand and stepped barefoot in the water, the biting cold made him shiver, Kenny sat on the shore and watched Alan who was struggling to walk in the water, the lottery just now made him enjoy the treatment of a lord again, the guy in the water was worried about dinner, hoping that the fish would not let him stand for too long.

Half an hour later, two tender fish were gutted and stuck on sticks, Kenny and Alan by the campfire listened to the sound of running water behind them, waiting for dinner, the bonfire blew from time to time in the wind, and there were no lights in the vast snowfield as far as the eye could see.

"Kenny, can you tell me about your wife?" said Allen, sitting by the campfire, rubbing his frozen red ankles.

"Hehe, why do you ask this question all of a sudden. Kenny looked at the campfire in front of him, his eyes full of his wife's face.

"It's nothing, it's just a bit boring to sit like this. ”

"Hehe, she is a very beautiful steppe girl, I inherited my father's title at the age of fourteen, and two years later, I was sent to the Angolan steppe by Martin, the then ruler of the First Continent, to help the lords there resist the halflings who disturbed the southwestern border, and that was the first time I saw her, and the first time I saw my cavalry commander Mike. ”

"The number of halflings that year was particularly large, I remember that there were 70,000 men in the alliance of our two armies, but we were crushed by that group of aliens to less than thirty miles from the steppe tribes, and at that time we were behind millions of herdsmen, Mike asked for a small cavalry to lead away the group of madmen, he was not a steppe lord at that time. ”

"That attraction almost cost Mike his right hand, and the next morning I saw a dozen horsemen returning from outside, Mike was covered in blood and riding on a red horse, his trembling right hand could not even hold his own sword, and as soon as he entered the place, he was planted from the horse to the ground, and only sixteen of the thousand cavalry he brought with him returned, and since then, the herdsmen have revered him as the 'Eagle of the Angolan Steppe'. ”

"We thought Mike had temporarily led away the group of anomalies, but we didn't expect that to be just the beginning. Less than noon, the group of halflings who had been led away came back, and tens of thousands of halflings rushed into the garrison and wantonly tore apart the soldiers in the garrison, and we were taken by surprise. ”

"At that time, I was sent by the Steppe Lord to relocate the herdsmen to the tribe behind the station, and in the midst of the chaos, I saw Nina for the first time, and she seemed so weak in the crowd, and now I think that it may be that glance, I fell in love with her. Later, I moved north with the herdsmen, and the next night I saw her again on patrol, and I was about to go up to say hello to her, when suddenly countless halflings came from the east....."

Alan listened attentively, and Kenny's story stopped at this moment, followed by the sound of the saber unsheathed, and Alan stood up.

Not far away, three torches whistled in the darkness with the wind, the fires were getting closer and closer, and the figures of the three horses gradually became clear in the field of vision of the two, Alan alertly pulled out the sword at his waist, and the two of them waited for the unknown enemy in the darkness with a posture like a great enemy.

The three iron-clad soldiers tightened their reins and dismounted from their horses sideways, and Kenny looked at one of them with some familiarity.

"I've met you again!haha!" a man in iron armor walked up to the two.

"It's you, well, I thought we'd be in trouble again, haha!" Kenny said, putting away his sword.

"Guardian, why are you still hanging on this snowy field on such a cold day, you should find a brothel to enjoy life. Alan reached out and patted the comer's arm.

"I told you yesterday, this area is the territory of the Iron Hoof Legion, and I and two soldiers came out to patrol and saw the fire here, so I came to take a look, and the result was you, it must have been the Namu God who guided me over. Guardian turned and untied a wine bag from the saddle and handed it to Kenny.

Kenny took the bag and took two sips, the spicy liquor instantly soothing his frozen body.

"Aren't you a wizard of the Iron Hoof Legion? Alan asked, taking a sip of the wine bag Kenny had handed him.

"Not to mention, it was Commander Sam who made the iron rule that all soldiers of the Iron Hoof Legion should be sentry, even himself. Guardian explained with a bitter expression.

"Well, it looks like your military regulations are pretty strict. ”

"It's so late, why did you two stay in such a remote place and find Moore?"

"Well, though, as you said, Moore rejected the Alliance. ”

"As I thought, it looks like you're homeless tonight, if you don't mind, come back to the station, there are no inn beds or brothel girls, but at least you don't have to be cold and hungry here, what do you think?"

"Hmm..... Well, hopefully it won't cause you unnecessary trouble. Kenny finished and glanced at Alan beside him.

"Why, although Captain Sam is not very good-tempered, he must be very welcoming to a capable knight like you!"

A few men mounted their horses sideways and followed Gard towards the Iron Hoof Legion to the north.

In the darkness, several crows hovered over the heads of the travelers, their black feathers and black pupils making them completely merge with the night, and no one noticed these ominous birds in the air.

The group arrives at the garrison that Gard said in the second half of the night, and in the darkness Kenny can't estimate how big the garrison is, and the soldiers at the fixed posts outside the garrison are dozing off, and the army doesn't look as disciplined as Kenny imagined.

The two followed the Guardian through rows of jagged simple tents, most of which seemed to be made of local materials, and the process was extremely simple, with a few branches inserted into the soil, and a few layers of sun-dried vines or wheat straw on the outside, and a little better skeleton made of bamboo strips, and a black cloth curtain was pulled on the outside, and the surface of the cloth curtain seemed to be coated with some kind of tung oil to prevent water, and it smelled a little nasty.

Gard lifted one of the modest tents and walked in, he lit a pine resin oil lamp in the tent, and the faint light of the fire slowly filled the tent, and Kenny and Ellen followed.

"I'm going to patrol the sentry tonight, so you can rest here, and tomorrow morning, I'll introduce you to Captain Sam, and I think he'll receive you warmly!"

Kenny looked at the environment he was in, his head almost poked into the roof, there was no extra furnishings in the tent except for an old pine table and a simple bed, and Alan was lying directly on the bed, it was good to have a place to shelter from the wind compared to sleeping in the snow, although it did smell a little stinky here.
