When Surdak and Karl arrived at the guard barracks, they found that the originally empty courtyard was already crowded with guards camp knights waiting to leave.

Many knights crowded in front of the service window in the logistics office, trying to replace their old armaments in the last time.

The two of them saw Miss Wengerdorin standing in front of the service window from a distance, and in the face of the knights of the guard battalion who were about to rush to the plane to perform an urgent task, the logistics department of the guard battalion also made great concessions, and for a while, the material warehouse was full of people.

Surdak received his seven-day marching rations with Karl at the window, but he currently had three magic fanny packs, a sleeping bag, a tent, ropes, and a number of lifestyle magic scrolls, including the Water Gathering Scroll, the Fire Gathering Magic Scroll, the Wind Fighting Magic Scroll, and so on, as well as some wheat cakes and canned luncheon meat at the grocery store, so he was quite well prepared for the trip.

This time, the Hylanza Guard Battalion drew nearly 500 Guards Battalion Knights from various brigades, of which the first brigade led by Captain Sauron was the most elite knight brigade of the guard battalion, Captain Sauron drew 200 knights from the first brigade, and the remaining four brigades shared the remaining 300 knights.

Because of his injuries, Captain Sauron was unable to participate in this plane mission, so he stayed in Highlandsa City to deal with the daily affairs of the guard battalion, and the captain of the second brigade, Viscount Emmett, became the supreme commander of the Hylanza guard battalion dispatch army. As one of the few constructed knights in the guard battalion who is close to the strength of the second turn, the captains of the third, fourth, and fifth brigades will also set off with the regiment.

There are a total of twenty-five squadron leaders in the guard battalion, nineteen of whom are junior construction knights, and the remaining six squadron leaders are selected because they are civilians, and they have no family support behind them, so they can't afford the high cost of magic pattern construction, so they can only become ordinary knights.

Squadron Leader Carl took out all his savings a week ago and bought a set of junior power-type demonic pattern constructs to become a constructor knight.

Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the Kesment family was responsible for most of the magic crystals, I'm afraid that Karl would have been in debt by now.

For Surdak's kind of 'Earth Shield' magic pattern structure that was exchanged for a mission, Karl could only express his envy in a slightly sour tone, after all, if Surdak hadn't succeeded in killing the dark mage Marion at that time, Carl and Captain Sauron might not have been able to return to Highlandha City safely.

The five captains of the guard battalion stood on the steps of the door at the same time, and this was the first time Surdak had seen such a scene.

Each captain has a faint aura all over his body, in addition to the power brought by the magic pattern construction, their own strength has almost reached the peak of a knight, among which Captain Sauron is the most imposing.

In the courtyard, there were a group of knights standing in the black press, and nineteen knights in costume stood in the most conspicuous place, and the scene was very spectacular.

After the five captains appeared at the same time, the knights on the field gradually quieted down.

Captain Sauron looked around, looked at the group of knights in front of him with sharp eyes, and said in a slow voice: "This time, the carrying capacity of the magic airship is limited, and there is no way to bring the horses over, and there will be a unified arrangement on the side of the Duke of Newman in Bena City." ”

His voice was not loud, but everyone in the courtyard could hear it, and the courtyard immediately became silent.

Captain Sauron glanced at the four captains around him twice before saying: "This mission is urgent, there must be a big mess in the maca plane, I have nothing to warn you, I can only say that you should be more careful in case of trouble, I hope you can all return safely, in addition, don't do something that loses the identity of a knight and discredits us Highlandsa City." War is like this, danger and opportunity coexist, if anyone thinks that they don't want to carry out this plane mission, they can say it now, or they can wait to tell me in private, the price! Taking off the uniform of the knight of the guard battalion, I can sign and release people anytime and anywhere. ”

The knights in the courtyard fell silent, apparently having made a choice between 'going and staying'.

Captain Sauron took a step forward, drew the long sword at his waist with his uninjured hand, and said to the knights: "However, since you have decided to follow the guard battalion to send a regiment to the maca plane, then you must abide by the rules and regulations of the guard battalion, and obey the command of Viscount Emmett. ”

He stood on the steps with a solemn face, and the prestige he usually accumulated made the knights of the guard battalion in the courtyard silent for a while.

Then he invited Viscount Emmett, who was beside him, to the front.

As the captain of the second brigade of the guard battalion, Viscount Emmett rarely appears in the guard battalion, and the guard area in charge of the second brigade is very limited, and Viscount Emmett usually travels a lot, and likes to hold a ball in his own manor, Carl once took Surdak to a ball held by Viscount Emmett, and I remember that Surdak also met Miss Brenda at the ball.

This Viscount Emmett has a very casual personality and is very gentle in speech, even if he wears a demonic leather armor, standing on the steps more like a bard who loves art and poetry.

He stood straight, his figure was far less burly than that of Captain Sauron, and the rhythm between his words was very well controlled, so he said: "You don't have to worry too much about the complicated situation of the Maca Plane, this time the seventeen cities in Bena Province have received the dispatch order of Bena City, which also means that there are seventeen dispatch troops similar to us are about to rush to the Maca Plane, and the total number of troops to reinforce the Maca Plane this time will not be less than 20,000 knights, so the situation in the Maca Plane will change quickly the moment we enter the portal." ”

"In addition to those who are originally members of the noble family, there will be no more than twenty people present who have obtained the knight title as a commoner, and our trip to the maca plane should be said to be the best chance for you to obtain the knight title, so I will lead you to create as many meritorious deeds as possible under the premise of ensuring safety, I hope you can believe me."

"Let's fight together for the glory of the Empire!"

Hearing Viscount Emmett shout like this, the originally quiet courtyard exploded with a 'boom', obviously the cake drawn by Viscount Emmett was a bit big, and after finishing speaking, the knights on the field became enthusiastic, and they raised the knight's long sword in their hands and shouted: "For the glory of the empire......"

The other three captains stood aside to express their support for Viscount Emmett, and the pre-war mobilization ceremony of the guard battalion ended in a bloody atmosphere.

There were more than twenty magic caravans parked on the long street outside the guard barracks, and the magic caravans lined up all the way to the square of the town hall, and the knights lined up in a long line to board the carriages one after another, and the carriages in the front had already driven out of the central street, and the carriages in the back slowly drove into the door of the guard barracks.

……

When Surdak and Karl rushed to the airport dock of Highlandsa City, the sun was already setting in the west, and the sky was covered with this thick layer of clouds, which seemed to be inlaid with a faint layer of gold in the sunlight.

The airport wharf where the city of Hylanza is located is located at the highest point in the northwest corner of the city, where two watchtowers of nearly 100 meters high are built, and the top of the tower is the airport wharf.

A magic airship belatedly came out from behind the gold-trimmed clouds and slowly approached the airport dock in Highlandsa, where Carl and Surdak were waiting, all the guards and knights were waiting to board the ship, and the side of the magic airship was also crowded with people, and the group of people looked curiously at the mountain city at their feet.

The Bird Tax Collector's wedding dinner is probably already ready to start at Christie Castle, and I was not able to attend the Bird Tax Collector's dinner, so I can only regret the silent sentence in my heart: I'm sorry.

Surdak felt someone pat him behind him, and when he turned around, he realized that it was the young magician Lance, so he smiled and asked, "Lance, why are you here too?" ”

The young magician pointed to the mage camp not far away, where a dozen young magicians were gathered, and they were all dressed in magic robes, which stood out in the crowd. Lance said to Surdak and Karl, "Not only has the conscription order been put on the desk of your guard camp, but the Magic Union of Highlandsa City has also received a summoning order from the Bena Provincial General Labor Union, and we will also take the airship to Bena City." ”

Seeing that the fellow magicians over there waved vigorously to Lance, a group of magicians had already walked towards the stern of the boat, and Lance hurriedly beckoned to Surdak and Karl and said, "You two don't wait stupidly here, come on board with me, and maybe you can stand in a comfortable cabin!" ”

Karl hurriedly dragged Surdak to follow the footsteps of the magician Lance, and while the other guards and knights were still waiting for the other passengers to disembark at the airport dock, Surdak had already mixed in with the crowd of mages and boarded the magic airship through the magician's special passage.

The deck of the airship was full of passengers waiting to disembark, and many people carried large bags and small bags to salute, and walked off the ship one after another.

Surdak boarded the airship, climbed to the top floor of the building behind the magic airship, stood on the lookout platform on the top of the building, the whole magic airship was in full view, the length of the airship reached more than eighty meters, there were seven floating devices on each side of the deck, the floating devices were closed at the moment, the whole airship could float in the air, all relying on the buoyancy provided by the huge shuttle-shaped floating air bag overhead, the crew was throwing the cable to the airport dock, and the staff on the dock were tying the cable to the iron stake of the dock.

In the crowd on the deck, Surdak seemed to see two familiar silhouettes flashing by, and by the time he tried to find them in the crowd again, they had disappeared without a trace.

……

Hathaway and Beatrice stood on the deck, their noses reddened by the bitter north wind of the city of Highlandsa. Hathaway pulled the cashmere scarf over her face and slowly walked off the boat with the flow of people, and saw a look of disappointment in Beatrice's eyes when she saw that the slightly humble airport terminal had only two tall towers.

The city at the foot is built on the mountain, and the buildings on both sides of the long street are very dense, many buildings on the side of the street are almost tightly connected, and you can clearly see that the city is divided into several areas, Hathaway took a deep breath of cold air, slowly closed her eyes, and felt the taste of this strange city.

"Finally arrived in the city of Hylanza."

She whispered to Beatrice, a faint smile flashing in her pale green eyes, and the faint look of surprise on his face was the faint look of surprise on his face as he fantasized about meeting Surdak.

Walking on the deck with guardrails in her long skirt and walking to the airport dock, Hathaway was surprised to find a neat line of knights standing on the dock, these knights seemed to be waiting for passengers to disembark, many of them wearing guard battalion uniforms.

Although Hathaway's gaze swept over the faces of the knights, she had seen it more carefully than ever before, and with the sharp instincts of a swordsman, she didn't see the familiar figure in the crowd, and exhaled slightly.

At this time, Beatrice was standing by the railing of the airport dock, leaning outside, the cold wind blew away her beautiful long hair, but she didn't care about letting her long hair fly in the wind, her eyes looked at the long street of the city under her feet with great concentration, and said with a puzzled face: "I saw this mountain city in a biography of a ranger, and that book said...... The oak forest blows a wisp of evening breeze and walks up the stone steps as the blanket-thick leaves of the forest trail go up...... How come I didn't see that poetic view? ”

"Please, that should be in the fall!"

Hathaway covered her forehead and whispered to Beatrice.

Beatrice was a little unconvinced and said, "Then at least you can see the 'forest mountain path up the stone steps'!" ”

"Hey! Beatrice. Hathaway looked at some of the middle two beauties around her with a serious face.

Beatrice, though not knowing what she was doing wrong, changed the subject and said, "Alright, alright! Is there a place where we are staying tonight? ”

Hathaway said to her friend, "Of course, I've already booked a hotel. ”

Beatrice's eyes lit up and she exclaimed, "Hey! Then enjoy this unforgettable winter getaway! I've heard that there is a very nice restaurant in the city of Highlandza......"

“……”

Hathaway suddenly felt a little reluctant to speak.

……

Darcy. Christie learned that the guard battalion had received an urgent mission and would leave the city of Highlandsa in the magic airship of the night, just before the dinner began.

Then she paid attention to the guests attending the banquet, and sure enough, many of the knights in the guard camp did not attend the dinner, she stood beside Hoyle a little uneasy, as a sister who almost talked about everything on weekdays, Hoyle soon noticed Darcy's strange appearance, and looked at Darcy. Christie lost her usual decisiveness, and Miss Hoyle pulled her into the corner of the hallway, and without speaking, looked at her with inquiring eyes.

Darcy. Christie glanced at Miss Hoyle with some embarrassment, and Miss Hoyle immediately said to her: "If you want to do something, go quickly, don't wait until it's too late, it's too late to regret crying......"

Darcy. Christie smiled apologetically at Miss Hoyle, gave Miss Hoyle a big hug, and said, "Have a nice night, happy newlywed!" ”

"Alright, let's do something!" Miss Hoyle patted Darcy. Christie's face said.

In this way, Darcy Christie only appeared in a hurry at Hoyle's wedding dinner, and disappeared as if the world had evaporated.

Only a small number of people noticed that the head groomsman and head bridesmaid of the wedding were missing at the same time, but no one mentioned it in a joyous atmosphere.

A magic caravan sped away from Christie's Castle in the afterglow of the setting sun.

……

In the cold wind, Darcy. Chris stood on the long street outside the airport dock, watching the magic airship slowly sail away from the city of Highlandsa, as if she had been hit in the heart by a heavy punch, and she wanted to slash a few swords at the street lamp in front of her at the moment to vent some of the irritable emotions in her heart.

The streets were full of people, and she pressed her temperament to board the magic caravan, ready to rush back to Christie's Castle immediately, but she saw Hathaway and Beatrice coming out of the airport dock, these two people stood outside the gate of the airport dock with curious eyes, and did not have any frustration at all because of Surdak's departure, nor did they return to Bena City with Surdak......

A thought from Darcy. It flashed through Christie's mind that maybe they hadn't met at the airport dock at all, and didn't know that Surdak had just left on this airship.

Suddenly, Darcy. Christie's heart was not so uncomfortable all of a sudden......
