Despite the terrible battle of the previous night, all the surviving servants and guards packed their wagons and belongings as fast as they could, and continued to set foot on the muddy Turin Avenue in the forest, facing the sun that was no different from yesterday.

As a spoil of a bloody battle, almost all of the blood wolf's skin was stripped off by the servants, tied up and stacked on the wagon—for all the monster's reputation, their fur was so soft and delicate that it was made into a blanket or a large coat. Due to the ferocity of blood wolves and the difficulty of hunting, their fur has always been expensive.

These furs were also an important reason why the servants were so diligent - Lady Angelica had the generous decision to sell them all when she reached the King's Bridge, and the proceeds were divided equally among those who had survived the bloody battle. The soldiers and servants shouted loudly for Madame's generosity and kindness, and they worked very hard.

As the most decisive evidence that the group eliminated the blood wolf pack, the head of the wolf that was cut off by Edward was also recovered, dried and stored in a large wooden box. After seeing the hideous head, Sir Leonardo couldn't help but walk over and joke with Edward.

"You should give that new sword you a name, like Wolf Slayer or something. As he said this, the Sacred Tree Knight's eyes had not been on the sword at Edward's waist, and it was obvious that he was still somewhat greedy: "Or the Blood Wolf Slayer...... Well, it's still the wolf slayer that sounds more powerful!"

Edward was quite indifferent to this kind of thing - the sword was sharp enough not to break like a cookie when he fought the enemy, so he was quite satisfied with the sword on his body now. Even the broken sword he still had on him to see if he could find a chance to reforge it.

It's not so much satisfaction as curiosity...... Edward couldn't help but glance at the hilt of the sword at his waist again - according to Lady Angelica, the sword was forged with the help of an "alchemist", so it didn't need to be maintained, and it was stronger, not even reflective. In the words of the previous life, this sword should barely be considered a "magic weapon".

So far, this is the second time Edward has heard about the "Dominic Wizard" from others, and the previous "ghoul lover" Wizard Aiden has also said that he is the Council of the Nine Rings or something, and it seems that as long as it is related to magic, it can be related to the Dominicans.

"Not all wizards are related to Dominicans, but Dominica ...... The country is indeed ruled by thirteen wizarding families. Hearing Edward's question, Sir Leonardo explained to him with great interest: "In fact, the history of this southern neighbor is somewhat inseparable from the Kingdom of Turin. ”

"Do you mean that they are also like the Kingdom of Turin, where a certain majesty started from a city-state and then conquered the entire Kingdom of Dominica by all means?"

"No, in fact it's the opposite - although Dominica is a kingdom, their so-called royal family, the Maxim family, has always been a decoration, and the power of the entire country is encapsulated in the Council of the Nine Rings composed of thirteen wizarding families, and the thirteen wizarding families represent thirteen city-states, large and small. ”

"And this Council of the Nine Rings, composed of thirteen wizarding families, is the 'Imperial Council' of the Dominica Kingdom, and it is also the place to settle the previous disputes between their city-states, and the thirteen wizarding families sit together on an equal footing and decide on a matter related to themselves. ”

"It doesn't sound like a kingdom. Edward was slightly curious: "It's more like an alliance." ”

"That's right, so even if the entire territory of Dominica is half the size of the Kingdom of Turin, half the population, and the wealth is innumerable, they have never been our fierce rivals. Sir Leonardo said with some contempt: "Of course, if these thirteen city-states are united, it is still very threatening, but it is a pity that this is a loose alliance of hostile tribes, and there will always be internal strife and disputes. ”

Not to mention the grudges they have against each other, which still exist even now. Sir Leonardo spoke: "So the Dominicans have never been the primary enemy of the Kingdom of Turin, and even in Fort Hague twenty years ago, if you don't count the warships, the combined armies of both sides did not exceed 10,000 men. ”

"I didn't expect that a young squire who dreamed of becoming a knight of the sacred tree would be interested in the wizards of Dominica. Sir Leonardo looked at Edward in some surprise: "Can you tell me why you want to join the Knights of the Sacred Tree so much?"

"For what—for the defense of the Kingdom, for the defense of the faith...... Uh, please don't look at me like that, okay?" Before he could finish speaking, Edward laughed and immediately "confessed" and said, "Actually, I don't know what I'm for, I just think of becoming a Sacred Tree Knight as a goal, and that's it. ”

"There's nothing to be ashamed of this, in fact most people do, we all live today, who knows what tomorrow will be like - who can sue us except the Radiant Cross?" Leonardo seemed to remember his brother's death, and couldn't help but sigh a few more words: "No one can!"

Probably because the sunny weather made everyone feel a lot more comfortable, the speed of the convoy did not seem to slow down due to the attrition, but rather accelerated a lot. After the death of the captain of the guard, Tasso, Sir Loras had to take on the role of leading the process, riding at the head of the convoy, and the sword was not put with the luggage like other knights, but hung in the saddle at all times, ready to draw the sword at any time.

In fact, he did have a reason to be nervous - it was Sir Lawrence's attention to take the Turin Avenue in the forest, and the conscientious knight still blames himself for the events of the previous night, though he actually regarded Tasso's death as his own fault as Alan.

So even though it was decided that it was the right thing to do if it was best to continue walking through the forest, perhaps in an attempt to "atone for his sins", Sir Lawrence almost gave up on spying on Lady Angelica, and devoted himself to his duties as captain of the guard. Thinking that with the Holy Tree Knight Leonardo following the whole process, Madame would not have a chance to start.

Despite Sir Loras's vigilance, he couldn't change the joy of the entire convoy as if relieved - now that the Blood Wolves had been wiped out, there was nothing to worry about.

This leisurely atmosphere lasted until the end of the curtain, when the cautious Sir Loras finally ordered the camp in front, and the already grumbling guards and servants in the convoy were relieved, except for Sir Leonardo and his warriors of the Knights of the Sacred Tree.

They should have passed through here before, that is...... Edward's mind was plagued by a few not-so-good speculations, which finally came true when the convoy finally arrived at its destination.

"Here...... What the hell is going on?!" Although she knew it very well in her heart, Eren was still so shocked that she couldn't even speak clearly, and something seemed to be churning upwards in her throat, making her feel indescribably nauseous.

The overturned carriage, the goods on the carriage were scattered everywhere, as if it had been hit head-on by the galloping heavy cavalry, and the whole wagon was completely scattered, like a wooden box that had been smashed and stepped on.

There was a mess everywhere on both sides of the avenue, the muddy roads were even dyed red, broken spears, iron swords and shields were scattered everywhere, and even the air smelled of unbearable rancidity. Scarlet blood painted the trunks of the trees on both sides of the road crimson, but not a single corpse could be seen.

There was not a single corpse, only scattered bones on the ground - skulls, ribs...... Tattered, crimson bones were piled up on both sides of the road, and those who had lived through the previous night almost immediately understood what was going on, silent as if they could hear the monsters roaring.

Everyone stood in silence, looking at the terrifying scene in front of them. The little priest who came up from behind looked at it silently, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, limped to the pile of bones with his cane, knelt down on his knees and held the "Glorious Proverbs", and began to pray for these poor people.

"The owner of this carriage is a wine merchant carrying a wagon of goods to be shipped to Maple Leaf Harbor, which I met before I met you. Sir Leonardo's expression was as silent as stagnant water, and he quietly looked at Weber, the little priest who was praying for the dead: "They are luckier than you, they have walked in the forest for four whole days without encountering blood wolves!"

"It seems that they are not lucky enough. Edward didn't feel much of it: "They only need one more day to meet us, and maybe they will be lucky enough to survive." ”

Sir Lawrence was silent for a long time, his resolute gaze fixed on the pile of bones - if they hadn't killed the blood wolves last night, this would have happened to them, if ......

"Sir Lawrence, what's wrong with you?" said Edward, riding a little closer, moving behind Lawrence, and whispering a reminder, "give your order, it's getting late, and we should set up camp." ”

The stiff-faced knight's eyes trembled slightly, as if he had come to his senses, and turned his horse's head to beckon to the guards behind him: "Clean up this place, look for water, and those who can still move will cut down a few trees to make fences, and we will camp here tonight!"
