The Glorious Continent has entered the end of summer.

As the weather gets hotter and hotter, the Tormond region in the middle of the continent ushers in the first harvest of the year, and the vast wheat fields outside the city of Tomond are ripe, and the golden waves of wheat rise and fall with the wind, looking like a sea of gold from a distance.

The climate of the southwest province is suitable, the land is fertile, the rain is abundant, the rivers are numerous, the Hulun grassland is rich in cattle, sheep and horses, and the farmland reclaimed on the grassland is innumerable, making the southwest province a big granary of the entire Bimeng Kingdom.

The annual summer harvest is one of the most important days, not to mention the farm farmers, but also many residents of towns and cities are mobilized to participate in the harvesting action.

Because if the wheat is not harvested in time, it is likely to affect the sowing of winter wheat.

Fields of wheat are harvested, tall stacks of wheat are scattered across the open fields, and countless birds and finches fly up and down in search of the lost ears of wheat, which is a rare feast for them.

When the wheat fields are almost harvested, the summer harvest festival will follow.

The Summer Harvest is as much a celebration of the year as the New Year's Festival, and a week or two before the Wanderers, circuses, bards and grey camel merchants enter the city of Tormond to take part in the carnival.

All the hotels in the city are full, the streets are crowded, even Shenhui Square is open for circuses, dozens of large tents have been erected, and clowns and magicians use every means to attract guests.

Farmers who had worked hard for the spring and summer also flocked to the city, using the money from the harvest to buy all kinds of things, such as clothes, porcelain, utensils, etc., and would also grit their teeth and buy one or two toys hand-knitted by wandering artists for their children.

From day to night, the city of Tomund sleeps all night.

But for Leon, his time to leave the city of Tormond was running out.

On the second day of the Summer Harvest Festival, Leon and hundreds of others arrived in the hall of the Temple of Tormund to witness the birth of a new generation of beast soul warriors.

Hippo Warrior Ironhide and Tiger Warrior Subaru both successfully passed the early trial, and also achieved the record of killing two black elf heads, and naturally entered the final test.

Boom! Boom!

The bell rang on the top of the temple hill, and the loud bell rang far away, and in the hall of the temple, everyone stood silently praying, praying to the beast god for blessings and protection.

Opa is on top!

Standing in the crowd, Leon's tiger eyes flashed slightly, and he could fully feel the huge and vast divine power enveloping this temple, and as the bell rang, it merged into the soul core little by little until it was full.

The temple is indeed the best place to gather the divine power of faith!

It's a pity that Leon, as a small local lord, is usually not allowed to enter the temple except for a few special ones, and the speed of condensing the divine power of faith is too slow.

However, I believe that when the church in Sal City is officially completed, he will have a way to accelerate the accumulation of faith and divine power.

Among the priests on the other side, Leon saw Priest Thorde.

The ceremony officially began, and the samurai who had completed the trial walked up to the platform on the pedestal of the Totem Pillar and sacrificed their blood to the beast god.

After the sacrifice was completed, the first round of twelve trialists entered the sacrificial chamber, and Ironhide and Subaru were among them!

There is no doubt that Leon's good relationship with the Temple of Tormond, as well as the Mithril Star Shajin he worshipped, played a huge role.

You must know that under normal circumstances, the places in the first round are reserved for the warriors cultivated within the temple and the trialists selected by the major giants of Tormond.

The extraordinarily large iron sheet stood out as one of them, and as the only hippopotamus warrior among the trialists, the people who watched the ceremony looked at him with curiosity and amazement.

Leon shook his fist at the two of them, giving them support and encouragement.

A suffocating wait ensued.

Time passed silently, and after about ten minutes, the first Trialists came out of the Divine Sacrifice Chamber.

The expressions of the twelve trialists varied, ecstasy, excitement, excitement, chagrin, frustration, and despair, and Leon saw joy in the faces of Ironhide and Subaru!

Both of them passed the Soul Casting Ritual and became Beast Soul Samurai!

Leon laughed and stepped forward to give each of them a strong hug.

It's time to go home!

......... Coming home, whether it is for Leon or Subaru, no matter how prosperous and lively Tormond is, they are just passers-by, and their real home is still in Salling.

Ironhide couldn't wait to leave, and after the initial novelty had passed, he missed the tribes in the forest and the clear river.

Therefore, after completing the promotion of the Beast Soul Warrior, the three of them did not linger for the festive atmosphere of Tomond City, and rode back to Salling that night.

Two days later, they rounded the city of Glay and reached the edge of Collingworth.

But to Leon's surprise, Collingworth sealed off the territory and forbade anyone who had not been allowed to enter, including caravans and mercenaries.

A checkpoint was set up on the road leading to Collingworth Castle, and dozens of rangers roamed the nearby grasslands with a murderous look.

Although he was like an arrow, Leon did not bypass the sentry post and go straight to the Collingworth Territory, he vaguely felt that Viscount Melle blocked the territory, I am afraid that it is not unrelated to the death of his eldest son Desel in Tormond City not long ago, and it is also directly aimed at the Thrall Territory!

On the side of the road, Leon stopped a small caravan of grey camels from Collingworth to inquire about the situation.

The merchant who led the tour told Leon that the Collingworth family had issued a lockdown two weeks earlier, closing off several of the main thoroughfares to the outside world at Collingworth Castle.

Collingworth's justification was the presence of a vicious group of horse thieves in its territory, disguised as caravans and mercenaries, who attacked several villages, causing heavy casualties.

The thieves operated along the border between Collingworth and Saar, and as soon as they spotted the presence of the territorial guards, they immediately fled into the mountains and forests of Saarland, so several encirclements and suppressions failed.

In order to eradicate this scourge once and for all, and for the safety of the Summer Harvest Festival, Viscount Melle made the decision to seal off the territory, and Collingworth was allowed to enter without special permission.

As a result, the merchant mercenaries who stayed in the Thrall and Collingworth were in trouble, and many merchants were planning to make a lot of money during the Summer Harvest Festival, and the caravan was blocked back when they reached the border of Collingworth.

The merchants had a keen sense of smell, and they discovered that Collinworth was really targeting Salling, and that there might be a conflict between the two sides.

So in order to avoid unnecessary losses, many caravans began to evacuate.

After hearing this, Leon's first feeling was that Viscount Merle had gone crazy because of the loss of his son, and secondly, he thought about how Salling would face the pressure from this evil neighbor in his absence.

The horse thief is indeed a good excuse, and Viscount Melle can shift all the blame to Salling, accusing him of harboring horse thieves.

If he was a little more vicious, he sent people to pretend to be horse thieves to attack Salling's past merchants, so that this excuse could become a reality, and then use this to exert pressure on Salling through the upper echelons of Glay, so that Salling could be in a difficult situation.

At the very least, all the efforts made by Leon in the early days to prosper the territory will be in vain.

Thinking of this possibility, Leon immediately put on his wings and flew back to Sal City.

However, he didn't mess up because of this, maybe Viscount Melle had already spread a big net on the border of the Thrall Territory and was waiting for him, and rushing over recklessly could only throw himself into the net!

"Boss, what should we do?" Subaru licked his lips, and the fierce light in his tiger eyes was revealed: "Why don't we take a detour and rush over, I don't believe they can still block the entire border!"

After successfully being promoted to Beast Soul Warrior, his strength can be said to be ten times stronger than before, and he is eager to try to do it.

"Don't be impulsive, we're sure to take a detour, but from Ironforge!" Leon said in a deep voice.

Viscount Melle thought that by blocking the territory, he would be able to seal the Sal Territory, but in fact, the Sal Territory had already begun to open up the trade routes in the north, and even cleared the dark places for this purpose, and there was more than one way back to Sal City.

As long as it takes a few more days to go around in a big circle, no matter what traps the Collingworth family has set for him in the territory, it is doomed to be in vain.

"Let's go!"

Led by Leon, the three turned their horses around and galloped north.

Once in the Ironforge area, they turned west from the edge of the Shadowlands into the mountain forests, and then southwest toward Thrall.

This road is undoubtedly too difficult to walk, but fortunately, Leon has always carried the map with him, and the three of them are all beast soul warriors, so there are no dangers along the way.

Four days later, they saw the towering silhouette of the city of Saar.

It's finally home!

Looking at the city that was still shrouded in fog, Leon's hanging heart finally let go, and he had been gone for almost a month.

The farmland on the lakeside outside the city has all been harvested, and the hard-working goblins are plowing and sowing seeds, and the cries of cattle and sheep in the pastures not far away are heard one after another, and the smoke of cooking wafts over the city.

It was a quiet morning, and Sal City didn't seem to be affected by the lockdown of Collingworth Territory.

The warriors guarding the city gate were the first to notice the return of the three Leons, and the news was immediately transmitted back to the city.

By the time Leon returned to the Lord's Palace, Elder Munstan, Rock Hammer, Rose, Concordia, Aklan, Anlan... Almost everyone came out to greet them.

Seeing Leon's burly figure appear at the door, Rose was the first to rush up and throw herself into his arms, completely devoid of her previous reserve.

"You're finally back, knowing if everyone is worried about death!" she said in a choked voice.

The leopard-born girl finally showed her weak side inside.

A warm current swelled up in Leon's heart, and he gently patted Rose on the back and comforted, "It's okay, didn't I come back safely? ”

Rose then remembered that there was a group of people behind her, and blushed and quickly broke free from his embrace.

Sal was in great trouble, and Leon, who had rushed back at night, did not have the heart to rest or wash up, so he convened an emergency meeting directly in the council chamber of the Lord's Palace, and all the important people were present, including Master Broon from the Temple of Tormond.

At present, the interior decoration of the church in Sal City is more than half completed, and the pedestal of the Twin Spell Tower has just been built, and Bron will stay in Sal for half a year.

Elder Munstan told Leon what had happened to Salling after he left.

Two weeks ago, Viscount Melle announced a blockade of the territory to eliminate horse thieves, and foreign caravans and mercenaries could no longer enter the Saarland, including the caravans of the mercenary guild.

As the Summer Harvest approached, most of the merchants and mercenaries left Sal, which made the city much more depressed, and even some shops closed their doors.

To add insult to injury, there was a group of powerful horse thieves on the edge of the territory, who attacked the caravans from Sal City several times, and some mercenaries were even killed in battle.

Three days earlier, the Lord's House had received a letter from Glay City, in which Collingworth had accused Sal of conniving with horse thieves and posing a serious threat to Collingworth's safety.

Viscount Melle demanded an explanation from the Sal Command and was responsible for all damages.

This official document that maliciously distorted the facts out of nothing made Concordia, Rock Hammer and others extremely angry, and Rock Hammer even led the Thunder Beast War Camp to level the Collingworth territory, and the hearts of the people in the territory were once fluctuating.

It was Elder Munstan who stood up in time to stop the impulse of the Rock Hammer and the others, and his decision was very simple, send the Thunder Beast War Camp to garrison the border area and wait for Leon to come back before making a decision.

In the absence of Leon's return, everything has to be stable.

Elder Munstein personally wrote a letter in reply to this petition, flatly denying all the accusations of Collingworth and strongly protesting Collingworth's blockade of Salland.

"Hmph, bite back!"

Leon slammed his fist on the round table, and his tiger eyes were full of fierce light: "Is it true that we are easy to bully?"

He didn't expect that his speculation would all come true, Viscount Melle was obviously completely torn his face, if it wasn't for the fact that attacking other lords without permission was tantamount to treason, I am afraid that the iron cavalry led by Collingworth had already set foot on the land of the Thrall!

"Brother Leon, what do you say, we'll do it!" Rock Hammer couldn't wait to stand up and shouted, "We must give them a good look!"

"That's right! If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, but if people offend me..."Leon said in a deep voice, "Let him regret it for the rest of his life!"

"Rock Hammer, you immediately withdraw all the warriors stationed on the border!"

"Ahh

The rock hammer, who was boiling with blood and was about to do a big job, was suddenly dumbfounded: "Brother Leon, why is this?"
