No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, Du Ze's running away has become an unchangeable reality, and all that Xinghe can do is to be glad that no one is really hurt. Whether it was him or Rong Ruo, all he suffered was some skin trauma, and under Sophia's treatment, it was all fine in the end.

What happened to the follow-up of the bombing, Galaxy no longer knows. Their trip was not delayed by the attack, and the convoy with gifts left on time and left the Bourbon, which had become a mess.

After such an incident, the group of people were so excited when they had long since returned, Rong Ruo leaned against the wall of the car in a daze, and stroked Pixar's head with her fingers. It was the first time for Xiaoxin and Xiaorou to go far away, but they didn't expect to see the uneven side of the world, and their faces were a little not good-looking. As for Lan Yue, Anton and Shigego have both experienced the incident in Jiangcheng with him, and they were not frightened by this bombing, but they were not in a good mood, and there was a dull atmosphere in the carriage.

The irritability in his heart made Xinghe a little breathless, and he opened the curtains, wanting to take advantage of the scenery outside the window to relax some of his mood. The convoy had completely left the Bourbon, and there were no houses in sight on either side of the road, except for a few horse-drawn carriages of them driving alone on the official road.

The scenery in the wilderness is dry and monotonous, and Xinghe only looks at it for a while and feels tired. No longer staring at the white sea of snow, leaning on the backrest and closing your eyes, while thinking about life for a while. Too many things have happened since this winter, first Ling suddenly became seriously ill, they fell into embarrassment, and finally got a little better, he and Anton were imprisoned in Quicksand Island again, Lan Yue asked Jose for help for this and was taken to the capital, he and Anton didn't care about Ling who had just gotten better, and followed Rong Ruo on a journey to find his sister, but he almost died on the sea of Xiaoxing; , Sneve dragged them into the quagmire of Jiangcheng again, and danger abounded

Many people may never encounter any of these experiences in their lifetime, but in this short winter, they have all encountered them. Xinghe suddenly felt so tired, he just wanted to live simply, but why was this so difficult? Xinghe couldn't help but let out a sigh.

A somewhat cold hand suddenly reached into his hand, Xinghe opened his eyes, and met Lan Yue's face, without any words, only a smile, but that was enough. He clenched his cold hand, leaned against the backrest, closed his eyes again, and slowly spread his brow tightly, along the way, he made many choices, some of which he regretted, but if he had to do it again, he thought he would still make the same choice.

The slowly moving carriage suddenly shook for some reason, waking Xinghe up, he didn't know when he fell asleep, but he felt a little sore on his shoulder, turned his head slightly, and saw Lan Yue's head resting on his shoulder, sleeping peacefully, and their hands were still tightly clasped together.

Xinghe carefully withdrew his hand, but he didn't expect it to wake her up. Lan Yue rubbed her eyes and asked in a daze, "Brother, have we arrived?"

"I don't know. Xinghe shook his head, he wiped the foggy car window and looked out the window. What came into view was a dense forest, full of stout and towering trees, and it was no surprise that they had entered the range of the Misty Forest, but they didn't know why the convoy had stopped, and the sky had begun to fall lightly at some point.

"We have entered the hunting range of Mao Wen. Sophia's voice sounded suddenly, startling the galaxy. The maid was very good at hiding her presence, and Xinghe didn't notice whether she had just woken up like him or had been awake, but at least it was certain that Rong Ruo was sleeping peacefully on her lap.

Sophia lifted the silver kettle on the small table in the center of the carriage, poured two glasses of water, and handed it to him and Arazuki.

"Thank you. Xinghe took the water cup and held it in his hand, the water in the cup was heated by Sophia with magic power, and it was good to warm his hands in such weather.

"Sister Sophia, what are we waiting for?" Lan Yue asked, holding a glass of water.

Sophia glanced out the window, turned her head, smiled and said, "Here they are." ”

Xinghe also looked out the window and was taken aback, but when he turned his head, a tall figure was already standing outside the carriage. With a naturally curved spine, a muscular body, and white hair, there stood a Mao Wen outside their carriage, wearing a suit of light leather armor and carrying a rugged longbow with a quiver pinned to his waist, and several equally rough arrows stuck in it.

This Mao Wen looked through the window, glanced at the situation in the car, and finally made eye contact with Sophia. Then he stood up straight, put his claws on his left chest, and made a standard salute, and then, he landed on all four paws, and ran away without making any sound, and in the dense forest behind him, the galaxy seemed to see countless figures moving, and he didn't know how many Mao Wen were still hidden in the shadows.

After the Mao Wen walked away, the convoy, which had been stopped for a long time, finally started again. Xiaoxin was also awakened by this movement, and looked at Xinghe in some confusion, "What happened?"

"We're in the Misty Forest. Galaxy replied.

"Really?" Xiaoxin's eyes widened and she looked out the window, "I can't see anything." ”

"Wake everyone up. Sophia said and patted Rong Ruo's cheek.

Xinghe shook Anton and Chonggo up according to his words, and Xiaoxin woke up Xiaorou. Sophia poured a cup of hot water for everyone and said, "We're almost there, let's all tidy up the meter." ”

"Sister Sophia, what are those Mao Wen doing?" Lan Yue asked, looking out the window.

"Eh, Mao Wen, what did I miss?" Xiaorou suddenly came to her senses, and at the same time glanced at Xiaoxin with some sting, "Sister, why didn't you wake me up?"

Xiaoxin shook her head helplessly, "I just woke up too." ”

"Don't worry, we'll be in the heart of the mist soon, and you'll see a lot of Mao Wen by then. Sophia comforted her and replied to Ranyue, "Those are the hunting party of the Heart of the Mist, and they are usually in charge of guarding the forest, and we must be led by them to enter the Heart of the Mist. ”

"Eh, I know this!" Rong Ruo interrupted Sophia excitedly, and opened her mouth to introduce to everyone, "The Empire stipulates that Mao Wen has a high degree of autonomy in the Forest of Mist, and has the right to make decisions about those who enter and leave the forest, and the hunting party of the Heart of Mist patrols the forest all year round, and they have the right to expel those who trespass into the forest, and in extreme cases, they even have the right to execute the invaders. ”

Xinghe looked at the dark shadows shuttling through the dense forest outside the window, "Are they very powerful?"

"They are natural hunters, claiming to have no prey in the jungle that cannot be pursued, and even the Empire's most elite troops are reluctant to fight them here. Sophia glanced out the window and said unhurriedly.

"Sounds like a great thing. Anton was not convinced by this, and asked rhetorically, "But can they be stronger than the Empire's War Mage Wing?"

Sophia didn't argue with him, smiled and filled the cups in everyone's hands with hot water, but Rong Ruo opened her mouth to refute, "During the War of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, the Vanguard Legion lost to Mao Wen. ”

"Vanguard Legion?" Anton scratched his head, "what is that, how come I haven't heard of it." ”

"I think I've seen it in the General History of the Empire. Lan Yue thought for a moment and said, "That is the ace unit of the Demon Spirit during the Holy Alliance period, and it has been very active since the first caveman war and has not been defeated, but it was dismantled after the establishment of the empire. ”

Sophia put down the glass and added, "The Vanguard has only one defeat, and in 128 AC Mao Wen ambushed the Vanguard in the valley lowlands, and the Vanguard suffered a crushing defeat. ”

"And then?" asked Anton.

The following year, Mao Wen signed the instrument of surrender, declaring his submission to the empire and ending the war. ”

Xiaorou suddenly couldn't understand this answer with a huge jump, and asked, "Wait, didn't Mao Wen win that battle?"

"Mao Wen won that battle, but lost the war. Xiaoxin answered the question, she was also looking at the dark shadows in the dense forest, a little distracted, "Mao Wen's elite troops defeated the vanguard army in the valley lowlands, but in the battle in the rear, they all lost, and now only the ash clan of the three major clans remains. ”

The carriage suddenly fell silent, and the truth of the matter was a little cruel, even tragic.

The answer was unexpected, but plausible, as the outcome of the war had already been decided, with the demons defeating all races and establishing an empire. As for whether it was some of their wrong strategies or what was the reason for Mao Wen's fiasco, Xinghe has no way of knowing. But at least one thing is certain, and that is that these big cats are really amazing.
