In the evening, Xiu Yi and the others, walking on a forest path, were about to enter the territory of the Hurricane Territory, and the twenty or so third-order warriors had been following them all the time, inseparable, but only Xiu Yi and Kami, as well as Sue, knew.

Xiu Yi frowned, looking at the sunset that was about to set, the fading afterglow, I don't know what to think, the sunlight emitted by the orange sunset shone on his armor, flashing a little color, and in his pair of golden and holy eyes, from time to time flashed a trace of cold and piercing blue, which seemed both sacred and weird.

In his arms, Ray had already fallen asleep, and had spent the whole day on the back of the velociraptor in the bumps of the road, which made him very tired, and after eating a piece of bread, he had already fallen asleep, and Xiui gently held him with one hand, and held the reins in the other, riding on the body of Red Frostfang, walking in the front of the group.

Su put one hand on the back of the red frost tooth, with the power of this velociraptor and walked on the road with a tired face, he was not a soldier, he was already tired and did not look good, if it wasn't for the aristocratic friends who were often pulled by his aristocratic friends to exercise and run, maybe he would have been afraid that he would not be able to move on the road!!

And the others were also a little tired to varying degrees, the two cavalrymen were better, only a little tired, but the others were not very good, such as Shirley who was riding on the back of the Earth Walking Dragon with Milina and Captain Covester who was riding on the horse, they were already tired and couldn't open their eyes.

As for Milina and the seventeen soldiers on foot, they were also tired and a little overwhelmed.

In the entire team, the only ones who didn't feel tired were Xiu Yi and Kami, who were undead, which made Xiu Yi feel a little worried, although those third-order warriors who followed them were probably also tired, but he didn't relax at all, and he was carefully observing them all the time.

In this way, after walking for about four or five minutes, more than a dozen professionals who had just reached the second order appeared in the eyes of Xiu Yi and the others.

They were dressed exactly like the soldiers, all of them were in the style of the Imperial Territorial Guards, which were made of steel cuirass, knee pads, arm guards, heavy armor boots, helmets, and heavy armor sets.

One of them walked up to Milena, gave a military salute, and then said to Milena, "Welcome back!!Lady Milena!!"

"Didn't you say that the bandits were attacking the Hurricane Collar!?Why are you here!?Could it be that the Hurricane Collar has been defeated!?" Milina felt a little strange when she saw the dozen or so soldiers, and immediately asked.

Judging from the information sent by Su, as well as the words of the bandit's three masters before they died, the bandits should be attacking the Hurricane Collar now, but why are these dozen soldiers in front of them here? ?

You must know that the Hurricane Territory is only a viscount territory composed of a city and three small villages, and the Empire only allows the Viscount to have a territorial guard composed of 100 people plus the captain, and there can only be 20 cavalry, 30 archers, and 50 infantry among these 100 people, if this number is exceeded, the Empire will immediately send the most upright officials to investigate the reason for the excess, and if there is no sufficient reason, the investigating officer will immediately arrest the viscount who has too many guards and send it to the imperial capital "Hatutas" to stand trial!!

So these dozen soldiers are already more than one-tenth of the strength of the entire Hurricane Territory, even if Milina went out to suppress the bandits, she only took away nineteen soldiers of the territorial guard, and now these dozen soldiers, why are they here to greet them? ?

"Report Madam, the bandits have retreated. A man with a strong flesh and a round waist answered Milena's question, and he spoke with a smile on his face that made his words much more believable.

"What's going on??" Milina asked in an inquiring tone, looking at the soldier's smiling face.

With the bandit's unprofitable temperament, she doesn't believe that she will retreat for no reason, could it be some conspiracy? ?

"We don't know what's going on, last night, those bandits were still attacking the Hurricane Territory, and all of us were so tired from killing the bandits that we were already dying!!"

"Just when the swords in our hands were almost broken, several brothers were tired and faint, and the archers gave up all their arrows, the bandits suddenly shouted 'Emperor ** team !!!', and then those bandits ran away at once. We didn't even know what was going on, so we won. Another soldier, who looked a little thin, said with a puzzled expression.

"Emperor ** team??, have you seen the emperor ** team in the mouth of the bandits?" Milina felt very strange when the bandits were scared away by the emperor ** team.

You must know that the suppression of bandits or the elimination of demonic beasts is done by the territorial guards of the nobles of each territory, and the emperor ** team will not care about these at all.

If the bandits and monsters in various territories are extremely well-equipped and well-trained emperors, the military expenditure alone is a very terrible astronomical amount, and a regular soldier of the empire has about 1 gold coin and 50 silver coins in ordinary times, and in war times, it is about 3 gold coins and 75 silver coins a month.

A formal army of the empire is composed of 10,000 professionals above the fifth order, in normal times, 10,000 people are 15,000 gold coins a month, and in wartime it is 37,500 gold coins, which is equivalent to all the taxes collected in three years of the four viscountdoms!!

Therefore, it is impossible for the official army of the empire to suppress the bandits, otherwise, the military budget alone can drag four or five viscounts to death!!

That's why the empire allows the nobles of each territory to have a varying number of territorial guards, which are used to clear out the bandits hiding in the mountains and the monsters that run out of the forest for some reason to hurt people, instead of letting the army clean them up.

If that's the case, why did those bandits shout 'Emperor ** Team' and retreat because of this? Could it be that there was an army near the Hurricane Territory that she never knew about? If there really was such an army, they helped the bandits when they attacked the Hurricane Collar.

So where is the official army of this empire now??why do they want to hide near the Hurricane Collar??why have they never heard from Bit, or anyone else??

"I'm sorry Lady Milena, but none of us saw those Emperor ** teams. The soldier who looked strong and bloody before said with a trace of regret on his face.

"Kill~~~!!" Just when Milina was still waiting for the missing emperor's ** team, a man's roar suddenly came from the woods behind her.
