Early the next morning, the Holy See and the Osland diplomatic mission left Tallinnburg, which had arrived the day before. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"I haven't slept in bed for a few days before I have to leave?" Jingwei was now back in human form, and he rode next to Bert on a minor horse that he had kidnapped from the barracks.

"When I get back to Lisbon, I can sleep, it's much more comfortable than Tallinnburg. "Bert hadn't slept for the other day, and he hadn't slept well last night, and now he's sitting on his horse and wobbly. The number of people returning to Lisbon was much smaller, and Xia Zuo left behind fifty first-order acolytes and three second-order priests. Edith, the Satyan demon archer who came with them, also stayed in Tallinn Fort.

It's been half a day since I came out of Tallinnburg, and the active Jingwei can't stand it anymore and always has to walk around. The others were busy on their way, but Bert kept following her. "If you don't run around, we can get to Lisbon early. ”

"Can you rest in Lisbon? I went with you last time, and I ended up staying all night and being kicked out again. Then I walked for more than half a year, and finally there was a big city where I could rest and rest, but I stayed for two days and had to leave again, and I went back the same way! Whether others believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway!"

Bert was speechless, he hadn't had a good rest since he entered the Academy of Magic, either busy practicing magic or busy running around the continent. It's hard to be Jingwei, and I haven't gone out to play since following them. Jingwei found that Bert was surprisingly silent today, and he was a little bored instead of talking back to her, and kicked the pony in his crotch a few times to catch up with Erin.

"What's wrong? quarrel again?" Abby rode to his side.

"No, I'm just a little tired. Abby, what do you say you paladins are fighting for, for the god of light?"

Abby didn't expect him to ask such a profound question, he thought for a moment and replied, "Actually, to be honest, sometimes I don't think God will keep an eye on us, after all, our continent is so big, will God notice such a small character like us? What is God like, will he be angry? Will he eat? Will he sleep when he is tired? We don't know. ”

"If you hear this, Bishop Xia Zuo will kill you. Bert teased casually.

Abby smiled slightly, "No, although the Bishop looks stern, he is not unreasonable. Everyone gets lost and doesn't know what to do, and there's nothing wrong with that. ”

"When I was younger, I fought for your father, and I wanted to be a knight like him. When your father left, I was so sad, I thought he was going to avoid me, he thought I was useless and left. To be honest, your father used to leave a lot of psychological shadows on me. ”

"At that time, I was practicing martial arts, and I hoped that I could let your father see my efforts and accept me. Although I didn't wait for him, I waited for the most important person in my life. My master took me away from my home and he said he saw the light. Since then, I have wandered the world with him, and my life is very hard, and sometimes I can't even eat a meal. is such a person who will take action when he encounters injustice, and will help people who are poor. I used to think he was stupid and had to bring them food before he had enough to eat. Later I understood that this was the meaning of his life. Everyone has their own meaning in life, whether it is the shopkeeper of the Imperial Capital Hotel or the merchants running all over the continent, they are all part of this world. Without any of them, the human world is not counted. My master is the same, he is the holy light in the eyes of the poor. It is easy to get a person to believe in the God of Light, but maintaining that faith requires those of us to set an example to the world. ”

"Your master is a respectable person, and I will definitely visit him when I have time. "Bert is not polite, but heartfelt.

"He disappeared in the desert with an equally respectable archmage before I came to Osland to protect me. Abby's voice grew softer and softer, until the last few words could only be heard by himself.

"I'm so sorry. "It's okay, no news in the desert doesn't have to be bad news. My master believes in the God of Light so much, God will definitely see him and bless him to return safely. The two teenagers fell silent again.

Suddenly, a sentry came galloping in the distance, breaking the silence. The sentry held a red pennant and waved it vigorously. In the Oslan Empire, in order to transmit information more quickly, the sentinels would carry small flags of three colors, one red and one green and one yellow, green means that the road ahead is clear and safe, and can be passed at any time. Yellow indicates that the road is in bad condition or the terrain is steep, and there may be an ambush. Red indicates that there is an enemy ahead, or a soldier who has spotted an enemy ambush. Sentinels will transmit some simple signals through a special way of waving flags, such as the current signal that there are a lot of enemy troops, and the vigilance will be strengthened.

"What's going on? How can there be enemies behind Tallinnburg? Abby kicked the horse in the belly, and Bert followed, and the two of them rushed to the front of the group.

"What's going on up ahead?" said the leader of the convoy team, who was always at the front.

"Report to the captain, there are enemy troops ahead, not Satya's army. For example, the force outside Tallinn, numbering about five hundred, was approaching us, only eight kilometers away. "Eight kilometers, and anyone with better eyesight in this plain can see the dust billowing in the distance.

"What kind of troops do they have?" "All light cavalry, very fast. "The light cavalry are carefully selected, and they are all soldiers with excellent eyesight, and it will be difficult for them to move if they are eyed.

"It's a problem, there's no place to hide around here. Abby looked around and saw endless grasslands, and it was for this reason that the Empire had stationed the strongest knights, one of the five elites, here. But now the plains have nowhere to hide.

"Take the men first, in the direction of Tallinnburg. We stayed behind to stop them, and I didn't believe that their light cavalry had beaten the strongest cavalry of our empire in a head-on charge. The squad leader gestured to the knights behind him, and the knights who had been guarding the perimeter immediately separated from the queue.

"Your Excellency, we have fought with them, and their light cavalry, armed with short bows, will not go head-to-head with you. It will only slowly consume your soldiers and drag you down. ”
