After walking for three days in a row, he walked from under the Khogar Mountains in the imperial capital to the small town of Jobiton in front of the current Kriss, and due to the speed limit of the carriage, he had to walk nearly 300 kilometers every day to stop and rest.

Already close to the northern region, the change in temperature is already obvious, and Chris, who grew up in the north, can't help but feel some excitement about returning home.

On the third day after the mercenary captain Orbis was on the road, he tactfully consulted Chriss through the window of the carriage and increased the speed of the carriage a little, trying to reach the home of Kis in the northern kibling - Kriss within six days.

The town of Jobiton was the first village he saw on the road, it was a rather simple town, and it did not even have the most basic perimeter protection - perhaps there were, Chris saw a few broken stone walls on the outskirts of the town, and near the foot of the hill there were a few acres of farmland, which were simply planted with some crops, and the town saw only a few old people, and his eyes swept over a few people indifferently, and then walked past him with farm tools. The mercenaries entered the town in the carriage, and after lunch, after a short rest, they continued on the road at the urging of the captain.

Chris knocked on the carriage, and a mercenary on the side of the carriage heard clearly, approached the window, and said respectfully, "My lord, is there something wrong?"

"Call Orbis. ”

"Yes, please wait. ”

Orbis rode out of the window at the back of the group and said, "My lord, are you looking for me?"

"Orbis, you come in. ”

"Yes!"

The captain of the mercenary was not pretentious, handed over the horse to another mercenary, and then followed the running carriage, put one hand on the wheel, kicked hard under his feet, and jumped into the carriage.

Kriss nodded secretly, this Orbis warrior level doesn't seem to be more than level six, but this skill is still very flexible.

As soon as the curtain lit, Orbis had already entered the carriage, and when he stepped in, he found the luxurious and neat carpet on the interior of the carriage, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

Chris smiled, "It doesn't matter, just sit down." ”

Orbis relaxed, bent down and bowed to thank him, and didn't dare to step in, so he casually leaned against the wall of the carriage and sat down, his eyes lowered, and he was very disciplined.

Orbis was not tall and stout, about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, with a resolute face, his chin was covered with green stubble, and there were some scratches on the chain mail on his upper body, and there were some scratches on his eyes, and Chris also noticed that a link had been broken, and according to his observations in the past few days, this Orbis seemed to have received some training in etiquette.

Because of his long-term horseback riding, his legs have a tendency to develop towards the lap legs, at this time his legs are crossed, his left hand is habitually pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the palm of his right hand is pressed down on his right knee, which is a posture ready to jump up and draw his weapon at any time.

Chris could almost see in him the epitome of most of the warrior civilian cadets in the Lantis Academy - not too talented, at the end of the five-year semester, he barely received a certificate of graduation from Lantis College, returned to his poor hometown and was unwilling, and then had no way to ask for help, and finally resigned himself to entering the door of the mercenary union, becoming one of the lowest-paying and deadliest professions in the continent.

Perhaps he once had the most passionate passions and the most ambitious ideals, but countless escapes from death had slowly transformed him from a young man with nothing to a middle-aged man who had achieved nothing so far, and now, his wish may only be to survive this mission.

A down-and-out mercenary!

Orbis was not accustomed to such a silent atmosphere, lowered his head, and asked in a stiff and low voice, "My lord?"

"Orbis, I saw that after leaving the previous town of Robyton, you looked behind you a few times, and it was clear that the coachman picked up his speed..."

Orbis twisted his shoulders with an unnatural expression.

“... Also, when you walked out of the village, you threw a stone into the distance, and the stone didn't actually get in the way of the carriage, and you secretly used your fighting spirit... Why?"

The mercenary captain stiffened and said in a low voice, "Is it because the rudeness of the villain makes you feel uncomfortable, my lord?"

"Don't change the subject, for what reason?"

Orbis hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yes, my lord!"

"The town of Ruobitun was slaughtered in the war of the dead a long time ago, and not even a single baby escaped in the whole village, they were reincarnated as undead, and some of them were lucky not to be purified after the death of the necromancer, and for some reason they returned here on their own..."

After the necromancer transforms the newly deceased into the undead, because the souls of some people do not dissipate in time, if they are not commanded by the necromancer after the "resurrection", they will return to the place where they lived before their lives according to the vestiges of instinct left in their souls.

The spirits of the dead who had returned to the village were finally destroyed by a bishop who cast a forbidden spell called "Light Purification", and a monument was erected in the village to honor the innocent villagers and commemorate the bishop's great deeds.

In Chris's view, the latter is the main purpose of the monument.

Then after a few decades, some homeless people came to settle here, gradually more and more, but due to various reasons such as inconvenient transportation and climate and temperature, the harvest here has been poor, and for the sake of relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft the water, some families with men in the family can only go up the mountain to hunt, and then, a few years ago a beast tide broke out, several low-level demonic beasts broke away from the large army, and came to this town thousands of miles away from the demonic beast forest, if it were not for the hard work of all the men in the town, this town would have experienced the fate of slaughtering the village again in a few decades。

Then, the town became what it is now: there were almost no men in the prime of life. The remaining old and weak women and children are said to have become a nightmare for the passing caravans, who were simply a combination of peasants and bandits, and if they saw a caravan "worth starting" during the day, they would cross the path to the front road and step into a trap, and then kill and take money, or follow the caravan until the evening when most of the people had fallen asleep before killing them.

Orbis said: "This is the second time I have taken this road, the last time I came was to escort a large caravan with nearly a hundred people, so nothing happened, and this time..."

"So you need to show your force to deter them?"

"Yes, sir. ”

"Well, I think you're doing the right thing, then, Captain Orbis, my safety is in your hands. ”

Orbis stood up with a look of trepidation: "Yes, yes, sir." And..."

"You say!"

"Yes, my lord, I hope... If there is an enemy attack, if necessary, I hope you can... Help. ”

"Well, yes, you go!"

"Yes, sir!"
