With the strong push of the various churches, the Quadruple City Alliance took only a short time. The three mayors of Red Pine, Black Willow, and Lan Feng gathered all the ring seals that symbolized the city's military affairs and handed them to Green, the youngest mayor of Cuimu City.

"It's time to go. Soft Maple has been holding out for half a month and six days, and we doubt it will hold out for another week. ”

The newly appointed leader of the Four Cities Alliance, after listening to the advice of the Priest of Heyronis, led the alliance army of the Four Cities to march immediately. More than 20,000 men marched quickly through the official roads in the forest, and Cuimu City took on the supply of the army.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Goliaths, who have experienced the bloody battle of the abyss, there is actually no card for a military force of this scale. But in the Ramsay world, this is already the highest level of battle. Ramsey, who has been peaceful for a long time, the last time several cities formed a war alliance was hundreds of years ago. The army of the Ramsey people was only prepared to solve the military friction between the city-states.

It's just that, because of Quis's orders, those Goliath warriors still strictly carry out their tasks and dare not relax in the slightest. They were there not only to protect the Pastor of Heyronis, but also to show the coalition a safe way to reach Soft Maple. The safety of this route must stand up to the test, because more people will go against it in the near future.

"Isn't it a waste of time for us to pass through the territory where the rebels are entrenched?"

Grimm, who had already changed into his ornate costume and put on a dark green armor on horseback, asked Goliath, who was walking beside him. Hearing his doubts, the tall warrior with the nickname "Broken Bear's Head" shook his head, but silently took out a waxed letterhead that Quest had asked Brach to hand him before leaving.

"Mistress Quest asked me to take you this way," he said without hesitation, "and he said that if I gave this letter to the leader of the rebels, the rake, that man would not only let us pass, but might also join our army." ”

"Rake?" Grimm muttered the name, thinking for a moment, "the rebel alchemist chief. It seems that your president of the Scales Chamber of Commerce of Eternal Order has a lot of network resources. Who else does he know?"

"That's a lot, boy," Broken Bear Head replied lukewarmly, ignoring the unhappy look on Green's face as the leader of the Four Cities Alliance, strode towards the front of the line. Calculated by the distance, it is now in the territory of the rebels. He was about to fulfill the mission given by Master Quest to deliver the letterhead to the rebel leader.

A marmot-like head poked out of the weeds, and he was secretly surveying the approaching soldiers. After counting the heavy trucks, he silently calculated: "I'm afraid there will be more than 20,000 people, I'll be obedient." The line dragged on, and the dust had drifted to where he was hiding, and the harness creaked louder and louder.

The weather has been very unusual these days. From the scorching heat that made people sweat, it turned into a cold winter moon in a blink of an eye. Although he was arranged here to spy on the military, his mind had already drifted to the warm fire. It's just that now seeing so many soldiers, he can't help but look solemn. Those soldiers all had solemn faces and iron faces, and they were all veterans.

Thinking that he had seen the situation clearly, the spy silently crawled back, trying to run through the weeds back to the camp to report the news. But when he got up from the ground, he found that a dark figure had appeared behind him. The giant-like man was grinning at him, and if it weren't for the fact that he was still carrying a plate axe like a door panel, he would have looked more friendly.

"We're here to help, little one. ”

Just as the spy was about to give it a fight, Shattered Bear reached out and nudged him, causing him to sit on the ground. Goliath took out a piece of letterhead and handed it to him, "Give it to the rake, but you'd better hurry." With that, Shattered Bear turned and left, catching up with the advancing Confederate forces.

And about half an hourglass later, the letterhead appeared on the rake's desk. The old rebel leader took a short knife and cut open the wax seal, and opened the letterhead that Quest had sent to him.

"Mayor Soft Maple is a soft egg, and the rake is more talented than him. Bring your eggs and swords and join the adventure of power. ”

After reading this line of limerick-like content, the rake's brows furrowed, and the whole person fell into doubt. However, when he saw the reddish stain on the side of the letterhead, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.

In addition to his status as a rebel leader, Rake is also known as an alchemist. Although his skills are not comparable to those of the famous alchemy masters of Ramsay, he still has at least basic professional qualities.

Gently picking up the letter paper with tweezers and placing it on the table of the test bench, the rake began to rummage through some of his stock of reagents, and finally he picked up a small wooden box with a red label on it. Remove the powder from the box with a spoon, pour it into a stone bowl on the table, and mix it with distilled water and stir it into a liquid. He stood with a feather on the red liquid and brushed it lightly against the letterhead.

"This is!" looked at the handwriting on the letterhead after being wet with red liquid, and the rake's eyes involuntarily widened to the size of a brass bell. He quickly opened his personal research notebook, checked the experimental records written on them one by one, and kept muttering, "I see...... I see...... The secret of making gem coins!"

Two hourglass hours later, an army of 500 sturdy rebel warriors appeared in front of the Four-City Alliance. At first, the two sides were naturally tense, but after the broken bear head walked over and said a few words to the rake who led the team, the tense atmosphere was lifted at once.

Not only did Rake join the coalition with his men, but he also pointed out a shortcut to Juniper Village for Mayor Greene, "the closest village to Soft Maple City, with ready-made walls. Although they were simple defenses, they could allow the army to establish a stronghold there. There are already monsters around Soft Maple City, so instead of rushing there, it is better to send a reconnaissance team to investigate the enemy's situation first, and then contact the people in the city, and then arrange the next move of the army. ”

Just because of a letter, a veteran rebel leader who had been opposed to Zhucheng for a long time could "surrender", which really surprised Mayor Green of Emerald Wood City. Moreover, the advice given by the other party is very pertinent, and he also knows some information about the juniper village, so it should have nothing to do with the trap. So, when the Union army marched two more hourglasses, they finally reached the village of Juniper Nuts.
