Fortunately, the battle outside of Rock Ridge City attracted the attention of all the surrounding armies, and by the time they decided to return, there were basically no more people on the periphery, not even ghouls. At the end of the day, Davion took Olesia to carefully avoid two groups of natural disaster soldiers, and then did not see any natural disasters, and for the next few days, Davion took Olesia to hide in the east, except for the sporadic ghouls, the rest of the place basically hid very peacefully.

It's desperate, and the sense of direction of the two has deviated greatly. Neither Davien nor Olesia had enough magic to show them the way. The original markers, rivers, etc. had long been swept away by the Scourge army, and Davion and Olesia, who had never experienced such a big battle, suddenly felt a little at a loss. No matter what army or mercenary group you are in, there are bound to be people who know some magic. After the rise of the human empire, the prevalence of magic led to the fact that magic was no longer the preserve of the elves, as left by the Duke of Abys, who was famous for his romance and magic in history: "Since Julius Caesar established the empire, the Academy of Magic is a more noble place than the House of Lords, and it has made the world understand that even the simplest commoner has the opportunity to come into contact with the legendary, dreamy, and miraculous magic field." "The spread of magic has changed war and life, and it has left traditional sense of direction and guidance at a loss. In the same way, only magic, only great magic, can counter the changes that magic brings. Discerning the direction is not a difficult magic, even a beginner magic apprentice can put it once a day, so people are more and more dependent on the guidance of magic, even the most low-level mercenary groups will try their best to learn a little basic magic.

It's a pity that actual combat is not a book, and he won't tell you how much physical strength and magic you should use in battle, let alone use addition and subtraction to measure the final result. Davion and Olesia were so proud that they pushed too deep and wanted to retreat, but the battle was beyond their control. Between life and death, they didn't have time to save even a drop of magic, and they were too inexperienced to be deficient in counter-reconnaissance, at least judging from the battles they would have every day, their movements were not as secretive as they thought.

In the first war of the dead, when the guards were in the most danger, Rock Ridge City was the strongest fortress on the front line, and it was attacked again and again, even the most powerful lich could not completely destroy the "rock shield" that stood firmly on the front line, and no matter how devastating the magic was, the damage caused by such a fortress comparable to the city of giants seemed to be nothing more than a small wound on the giant's body. With the help of the Mountain Giants, the passionate dwarves will once again build it into an impregnable fortress in a matter of nights, like the iron furnace they are most proud of.

Even now, the situation of the guards is much better than it was at the beginning, and while the front continues to advance, Rock Ridge Castle has transformed from a bridgehead on the front line to the most important transit point. For a variety of reasons, under the conditions of the balance of power of all parties, Rock Ridge City eventually became the only city with the best facilities that could be found within a few hundred kilometers. In contrast, all the surrounding wilderness and hills have become a military stronghold for the two sides of the Scourge Guard, and at the same time a haven for pursuit and revenge by various forces in the dark, in which only the most ruthless and stealthy hunters can play the role of hunters. With the outbreak of war, there are not many trees around, and the wood that can be used has become part of the battlefield, and the trees that Orethia and Davion have found in the past two months are all useless, or small trees that have just grown, otherwise with Olesia's ability, they would not have made such a mess for food.

Now that they have lost their sense of direction, the two are more cautious, calculating their physical strength and magic bit by bit. Relying on the most basic direction indicator of the sun alone will not work on the battlefield, and after they accidentally enter the core of the battlefield, they only recognize the general direction and rush all the way back, maybe they will break into the arms of the big man of the natural disaster. The two had heard of the torture and exploitation of the souls of the Scourge for a long time, and it was something that could truly strike fear even the most ruthless killer assassins.

However, Oraceia's body is still recovering very slowly, although the wounds have all healed and she can walk on her own, but her body is still too weak, and without food supplements, the weakness of the elf's body is infinitely magnified here. Back in the period when the Elven Empire began to decline, countless races proved it with blood and corpses. Davion didn't dare to be careless at all, Olesia was in such a weak state, and being able to draw a bow had already proved the strength of her willpower, and Davian could say without hypocrisy that Olesia really got his respect in terms of willpower. In today's circumstances, he may be able to go out alone, but asking him to abandon Olesia is really despised, and the chivalry in his heart is really despised. Due to the natural disasters that polluted the earth, even the clear water could not be guaranteed every day, looking at the increasingly haggard Olethea, and the chapped mouth on his mouth, Davian's heart couldn't help but start to feel a little uneasy.

The rare good news was that they could at least feel from the dwindling Scourge troops that they were finally heading towards the periphery, and with the guidance of the sun, they knew that they were getting closer and closer to Rock Ridge City, whether it was southeast or southwest or whatever direction it was, it was always a good thing to get closer and closer. It's a pity that what the two don't know is that the closer they are to Rock Ridge City does not mean that they are safer.

Even if he can only meet a group of ghouls a day, Davian and both of them have to fight with all their might, the hands that were originally enough to bring down a cow are now unable to even hold the long sword in their hands, Davian even regrets why he chose such a long sword that is not light, in the case of extreme exhaustion, with dragon blood, he still feels that he is holding a boulder that is difficult to shake hundreds of catties. Olesia had relied entirely on instinct to shoot, and she could only use her pale hands to send long arrows into the eyes of her enemies by feeling, and she no longer had the same movement as the wind she once had. Now the disappointment and gloom in her eyes are deepening day by day, and she is becoming more and more silent, sometimes she is reluctant to speak for a day, and her weak and haggard appearance can easily arouse the irrepressible sympathy and protective desire of others. Davion had already saved as much food as possible for Olecia, thinking that she was hurt and uncomfortable, and suppressed the irritability and impatience in his heart, and kindly comforted her, but unfortunately it did not have much effect.

At night, as Davian gathered firewood, he glanced at the battlefield again and sighed silently. He had a strong desire to rush over there to see, and even if he didn't go to war, he was satisfied to see the duel between the heroes who stood on top of the world. Perhaps, perhaps, it is possible to fight those legendary characters and become famous in one fell swoop, Davian muttered silently in his heart.

"I have dragon blood, and as long as I don't get hit head-on by magic, I usually have no problem surviving." Dawei always comforted himself in this way, or rather like a kind of hypnosis, an affirmation of his self-confidence since childhood in this unsuccessful situation. Pity...... To be honest, Davion still blames Olethea in his heart at this time, even if he has been blocking countless attacks for Olesia for a month, even if he has given Olesia a lot of food, even if he has been taking care of her and admiring her willpower. But in his heart he just took it for granted, as a knight should do. Now that the battle is almost over, Davian still blames her for dragging himself back, maybe he can go through another period of training, maybe he can still try to turn into a dragon to fight, and that food is enough for him to replenish his strength by himself. Although the two have been together for a month or two, neither of them actually knows each other, and neither of them happens to be the kind of person who likes to inquire and knock people over and over again, and finally turn his experience into a crystal clear like the elven moon well. More often than not, they like to establish each other's first impressions based on their preferences and intuition, and their subsequent actions are often much more useful to them than the information they painstakingly come up with. The two of them also happened to be such people, so they had the current situation, Davion never asked about Olethea's past, he just got along with Olesia according to his true heart. Olesia also doesn't feel much interest in Davion's fictional Chenlong family, and more often uses "your family" instead of the unwarranted name. Even if he feels a lot of inexplicable phenomena from him, he never asks, and he is not curious to find ways to dig out his secrets.

Perhaps when we are young, we will always think of ourselves first, even if he is not a selfish person, but in the process of growing up, we always tend to be more or less biased towards ourselves in our short life experience, not so much selfish and short-sighted, but an animal-like self-preservation instinct for a strange and hopeful future before maturity. Davion didn't pay attention to the help that Olesia gave him in battle, he didn't dig into the source of food, and he didn't realize that if it weren't for Olesia, he wouldn't be able to challenge so many different Scourge troops. In his heart, becoming stronger is far more important than this friend he doesn't know well, and that is the belief that has been rooted in Dawei's peace of mind since childhood, just like the chivalry he yearns for and works for, which is unshakable.

Fortunately, after a few more days, he could already see Rock Ridge City from a distance, and the giant with a maximum drop of hundreds of meters stood silently on this endless field, and the heaviness and steadfastness made Davian breathe a sigh of relief, and he no longer worried about the direction. After seeing that city, people couldn't help but think of the little city lord who was silent but resolute, and I have to say that only the little ones are indeed qualified to match this miracle city made of rocks. Although Davian has always longed to hone himself, deep down he still wants to have a comfortable living environment, and the tension of losing his sense of direction and the lack of food is like a noose hanging over his head. Olesia, who had been languishing, also had some energy at this time. There were only a few ghouls and skeletons roaming around the road, just miscellaneous soldiers that the guards didn't have time to clean up for the time being, and there was no threat to Davion at this point.

Davian, who was in a good mood, helped Olesia to walk forward, and along the way, he carefully used his sword to set aside a series of debris in front of him, skulls, and cobwebs, and most of the usual water was left to Olesia, I have to say that Davian is indeed a careful and considerate boy. These Oletheas are all in their eyes, but her recent state of mind makes her hardly speak all day, and the two of them may be silent for almost a day.

It's rare to return to Rock Ridge City, Davion still can't bear it, and he goes out alone to kill a lot of ghouls, and at this moment he can be unharmed by the last few ghouls. Olesia, on the other hand, stood silently and said nothing, and this life would last until the next two days when she entered Rock Ridge City, but it changed when Davion met a ghoul.
