In the days that followed, Sean no longer risked taking on missions to go out to war, but honestly strengthened war equipment, made potions, and so on.

Now he is different from before, there is no need to put himself in danger because of that little profit, although the ordinary people and professionals who participated in the last mission also shared a lot of military merits, but the most eye-catching is him.

However, as he progressed to the rank of Apprentice, he found that the rewards of working in logistics even outstripped him of going out, all thanks to the defenders of Lane City.

Yes, it's the same Ryan City where Sean had stayed for a while.

Not long after the news of the war spread, the nobles of the province of Belloc began to evacuate in large numbers, and almost all those who could run away ran away, except for nobles like Alban, who could not leave, and no one would be foolish enough to stay here.

The nobles who chose to stay are not brainless, in fact, there are many reasons behind this.

Of course, they knew that when the enemy attacked, their fate was already doomed, but because they were the real nobles of the Wagner Kingdom, it was natural for them to take on certain responsibilities.

So they had to do it.

If they escape from the Wagner Kingdom, they will lose their original titles and fiefs, and even if they are caught, the entire family will be implicated and become sinners.

However, if they choose to continue to hold on, even if they die in the war, the children who were sent away early will inherit their titles and fiefs in the future, and even receive higher rewards.

Of course, if you want to regain the fiefdom, you must have to win on the side of the Wagner Kingdom, otherwise the Belloc Province is estimated to be directly lost, and it is almost impossible to get it back.

Therefore, these nobles will use all their strength to consume the local military power, so that their sacrifices will not be in vain, this is the conspiracy of the high-level of the Wagner Kingdom, and it is also the means for the nobles who are greedy for life and afraid of death to fight bravely.

And so in such a situation, the war began.

It's a pity that when the combined forces of the Karis Kingdom and the Connery Kingdom launched an attack, the high-level leaders of the Wagner Kingdom found that the situation was far from as optimistic as they originally thought.

Both in terms of quantity and quality, the side of the Kingdom of Karis was far crushing the defenders of the province of Beloc, so after they swept all the way, those nobles died and surrendered, and almost did not form any decent resistance.

When this happened, the nobles, who had barely experienced war, finally came to their senses, and they gathered their private soldiers together and held on to some hard-to-attack cities in an attempt to resist the invaders.

……

Ryan City is one such place.

This is a very special city because it has a feature that other large cities do not have, which is the tall city walls, and the variety of defenses!

Because of the existence of professionals, the city wall has long lost its meaning of existence, and unless it is reinforced by extraordinary means at a huge cost, it is simply vulnerable in front of professionals at the official level and above.

Therefore, this kind of special structure can only be found in remote towns in remote kingdoms, and a large city with a population of 260,000 like Ryan City usually does not have this ancient means of defense.

Unfortunately, Lane City is not in the "usual" category.

I don't know what went wrong with the brains of the people who built the city in the first place, or if there was any special reason, in short, the city of Lane is not only surrounded by a circle of walls with a height of nearly 20 meters, but also a thickness of several meters, and even a supporting defense facility.

When the news of the war spread, the nobles of the surrounding area gathered in the city of Lane, who had a large number of soldiers and resources in their hands, and after a long time, they built the city into an iron barrel to try to withstand the enemy attack.

The nobles' plan did work.

Thanks to the efforts of countless professionals and ordinary people, the city defense capability of Ryan City soon reached a terrifying level, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in the city and a huge amount of resources, even in the entire Belloc Province, this is one of the more important strongholds of the enemy.

Faced with this situation, the Connelly Kingdom was also a little helpless.

Although Ryan City is a border city, it is relatively close to the border of the Kingdom of Connery, and there is still some distance from Hogle City, the northernmost city of the Kingdom of Karis, so elite troops such as the Silver Eagle Legion cannot reach it in a short time.

However, the national strength of the Connery Kingdom is far from that of the Karis Kingdom, and there are not many apprentice-level alchemy mages in the country, so there is really no attainment in attacking the city.

After all, no one expected such a war to happen before this, and the obsolete city walls and the associated war system were revitalized and became an important barrier to the enemy.

Since the defense of Lane City was too tight, and if it was forced to attack, it could be a big loss, so the army on the side of the Kingdom of Connery put this matter on hold for the time being, and carried out a large-scale clearance of the vicinity, while waiting for the support of friendly forces.

The Silver Eagle Legion made their way towards Lane City, but their large numbers and the frequent detours they had to take to destroy the enemy along the way meant that their march was slow.

It wasn't until today, two months after leaving Hogle, that Sean saw a familiar place.

……

"Hey, it's back again, and suddenly there's an unreal feeling."

Bilaire rode his war horse to the side of Sean, looked at the tall cliff in front of him, and suddenly spoke.

"yes, yes." Sean also seemed to remember something, and his expression was a little emotional.

He had also passed through this place more than a year ago when he left Lane City for Hogar City.

"If I'm not mistaken, there must be that cave up ahead."

"That gray-backed cave python really scared me at the beginning, but fortunately there were a lot of us at that time, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to deal with that big guy."

With that, Sean soon saw where he had stayed.

He drove his horse a few steps to the entrance of the cave, which was still as dark and deep as ever, with no end in sight.

Smiling slightly, Sean casually used his mana to deeply engrave his name on the cave wall, perhaps for souvenir, or perhaps for ......

Looking at the beautiful Byronic characters on the wall, Sean turned back to the line that continued on.

He hoped that he would survive the war so that he could come to this place again in the future.

At that time, maybe he won't be in such a hurry, right?

He has been looking forward to it, looking forward to the scenery in the future.
