Bird Pioneer Collar.

Glimmer City.

This is a trading town built by the Byrd family.

Trade connecting the North and the South.

At the same time, it is also the front line of the attack on the Ogre Forest.

With the Ogre Forest at war with the Bird family.

The main legion of the Bird family is stationed in Shimmer City.

Around the city, you can see the elite of the Bird family wearing armor and carrying spears.

And in the center of Shimmer City, there is the town hall of Shimmer City.

Over here.

Four of the eight descendants of the elder Bird came.

Among them, the eldest son, Aman Byrd, was the supreme commander at the helm of the legion.

His two younger brothers, James Bird and Hayson Bird, were in charge of logistics and the Cavalry Scout Corps, respectively.

At the same time, he also has a younger brother, Klein Bird, who is the most powerful of the several and is also the commander of the Bird's vanguard legion.

But inside the town hall.

But there was no Klein.

"James, there's no news from Klein yet?"

Aman, who is the eldest son, asked.

Klein was their youngest brother and the most favored by their father.

However, he has no inheritance rights, and he is Oman's own brother, so he is concerned by Oman.

And James and Haytham were different from his mother.

"Klein is fun, maybe attracted by the harvest town."

"There."

"But there is the prettiest dancer in Gondor."

It was Haytham who answered.

His voice was rough and loud.

It also looks slightly rough.

Haythami's mother was a beautiful wolf girl with orc blood.

Born Haytham has an atavistic phenomenon.

That's why it looks ugly.

However, although he did not inherit his mother's appearance.

But he inherited the fighting blood from the werewolves.

Before Klein was born, Haytham was the strongest warrior in the realm.

"No, probably not."

Aman said, shaking his head.

He knows Klein.

Dirty dancing girls are definitely not his hobby.

Beautiful maid and cook.

On the contrary, it is more attractive to Klein.

"Hey, wolf cub."

"Klein is pure aristocratic blood."

"It's not like you."

James on the side said mockingly.

In the Bird family, James's mother came from a minor aristocracy.

He knew he had no right to inherit.

So he got married to his eldest son Aman early.

Of the eight sons of Bird.

James was one of Oman's most loyal ones.

For the sake of Oman, James did not hesitate to offend everyone.

Including Old Bird.

On more than one occasion, James scolded him in front of Old Bird for being old and immortal.

So angry that Old Bird almost expelled him from the family.

But each time it was saved by Oman.

Pioneer collar in Bird.

As the eldest son, Omani had grown strong enough to rival Old Bird.

Old Bird is no longer the wolf king of the north back then.

He's too old.

The old ones can't even bite the meat.

Now his vassals are no longer loyal to him.

Waiting for the death of Old Bird, he threw himself into Oman.

But the old Bird has a tenacious vitality and is not dead until now.

This made the people of James wait.

Often provoked his authority, irritated the elder Bird.

I want him to pass the title to Oman soon.

It can be said that in the whole Byrd pioneer collar.

James was the one who couldn't wait for Old Bird's death the most.

And that's exactly what happened.

He will become Oman's henchman.

He is in charge of Shimmer City.

The other Haytham was loyal to Old Bird.

Often targeted by James.

After hearing the other party insult their mother.

Haytham was furious.

"Damn bitch."

"I'm going to stab you in the body with an iron gun."

"Let you know what respect is."

"I'm afraid of you!"

"Mutt brute."

In the town hall, the two faced each other directly.

Behind them were the men and horses loyal to Old Bird and the cronies of Oman.

"Enough!"

"Want a civil war?"

Amani interrupted the two of them with a look of annoyance.

Then he said to himself.

"Klein goes to Harvest Town."

"It's to borrow the road, let's take a detour from the harvest trail."

"Attack the Ogre Forest from the flank."

"He left three days ago."

"It doesn't matter if the other party agrees or not."

"It's time to go back."

"I haven't come back yet."

"Is it possible that the people of Harvest Town seized Klein?"

Haytham heard it.

He immediately shook his head in opposition.

"They don't dare."

"Furthermore, what is the purpose of seizing Crane."

"Is it for the money?"

"That would be stupid."

"With their strength, any mercenary group of us can bulldoze them."

James looked down and thought for a moment.

Then he raised his head and said.

"Oman."

"There have been rumors in Shimmer City lately."

"It is said that the ogre's counterattack this time is because of the internal traitors of the Bird family."

"Is it possible that Klein was caught by a traitor."

"Without Crane, if we want to attack the Ogre Forest."

"Then you have to change the striker."

"And the only one who can become a striker is left~"

His gaze glanced to Haytham to the side.

The meaning is self-explanatory.

"Humph!"

"I've also heard rumors, James, that you bought a strong poison ogre alchemy."

"What, are you going to collude with the Ogre Forest and poison whom?"

"Enough!"

There was a hint of violence in Aman's eyes.

"What I need is accurate information."

"Who dares to fight again."

"Just get me back to Bird Pioneer Castle."

This time.

The two finally chose to keep their mouths shut.

And Oman doesn't see any information from them.

He waved his hand and disbanded the meeting.

He then returned to his accommodation.

And it didn't take long.

James was present in Oman's room.

"I just got a message."

"The ogre launched a counteroffensive on the front line."

"Their counteroffensive this time is very strange."

"It seems to be specifically for the watchtowers that were built."

"Oman, it's different from before."

"Could something happen?"

Hearing this, Aman looked pensive.

Now the struggle within the Byrd Frontier is becoming more and more intense.

Collusion with ogres is not out of the question.

So every unusual move on the side of the Ogre Forest.

must be taken seriously.

At this juncture.

Even a small mistake can have catastrophic consequences.

"Is there any up-to-date information on the situation at the various towers on the front line?"

Aman asked.

"Nope."

"But I've already sent someone to inform the mercenary group and report the situation at my outpost."

James replied.

"No, it's not enough."

"You send a group of Bird Guards to check the checkpoints in the areas where the various mercenary groups are stationed."

"I need accurate intelligence."

"Yes."

When the Omani side sent people to patrol.

The other side.

Haltham also got the news.

"Your Excellency."

"News from the ogre."

"There was an accident at the attacking watchtower."

"The informed-minded patrol has defeated the Ogre's elite."

"Now we have abandoned the watchtower and returned to Glimmer City."

"According to the ogre's intel."

"They're backed up by a mercenary group."

"I guess I've left the outskirts of the Ogre Forest now."

"The ogre has no power to stop it."

"So~"

"We have to intercept them halfway."

"They must not be allowed to return to Glimmer City."

"Just got word from Bird Castle."

"Sir Bird Pioneer ordered."

"This time, I'd rather not Shimmer City."

"Kill Aman and his vassals who are loyal to him."

"For this."

"Your Excellency even agreed to the more troublesome request from the harvest town."

"For the safety of the plan."

"We'll have to kill all the patrols at the outpost."

"Otherwise!"

"They're back in Glimmer."

"When Oman gets the news, he will definitely be alert."

Haytham heard this.

His gaze was slightly cold.

He asked.

"Can you determine the location of the mercenaries returning to patrol?"

"Yes!"

"Okay."

"You take my father's knight of the guard."

"Kill them all!"

"Bring more people."

"A thousand."

"Bring a thousand cavalry."

"Be on the safe side."

Haythin's words surprised his subordinates.

"Your Excellency."

"A thousand cavalry guards."

"Could it be too much?"

Haytham nodded.

"It's too much, but so as not to be surprised."

"Let's go as soon as possible."

"After all, there are mercenaries guarding the other party."

"Yes!"

The subordinate could only reluctantly agree.

But there was a little disdain in my heart.

One thousand guards cavalry.

Hehe!

What mercenaries can hold back so many cavalry!!

When the time comes, they will be scared to death!!

"Dada~"

On the road to Shimmer City.

Thousands of legions are on their way.

In the middle of this legion.

It's Christian and Fang Yuan.

"Your Excellency."

"We're on an escort mission this time."

"It's not good to bring too many soldiers."

"So let Loyes lead his troops to stay near the Ogre Forest."

"Fiona has brought someone to guard in the shadows."

"Plus these people now."

"There are only more than 10,000 troops to protect you."

"But rest assured."

"This little bit of power will definitely keep you safe."

Hearing these words, Fang Yuan nodded slightly.

His gaze was on the patrol mercenaries who were escorting not far away.

These people looked at the thousands of warriors in elite armor who escorted them.

There was an incredible look on their faces.

They never knew that in the north.

There is an army of such powerful mercenaries.

They were all speculating about Fang Yuan and their origins.

And at this very moment.

There was a sound of horses' hooves ahead.

"Report."

"Your Excellency."

"Lord Fiona has spotted an ambushed cavalry ahead."

"They are masked."

"It doesn't seem very friendly."

Hear this.

Fang Yuan was a little happy.

"Not very friendly?"

"Tell Fiona."

"Just kill them!"

Christian dissuaded.

"Your Excellency."

"I don't know if they're enemies or friendly forces."

"It's not too late to get in touch first, and it's not too late to confirm your identity."

"It's better to surround them quietly."

Fang Yuan thought for a moment and nodded.

After all, if you kill a friendly soldier by mistake.

As a result, this side quest 2 cannot be completed.

That's a bit of a hassle.

And this time when I entered the secret realm, my main task was to investigate the truth.

If you kill them all.

Where to find out the truth.

"Then surround them quietly!"

"Wait until we arrive to determine whether to attack or not."

"Yes!"
