(Sorry for being a little late for this chapter...... ）

"Ah......h

The priest girl raised her hands and stretched out a big slump towards the blue sky.

Caterina took two steps forward and asked, "Sophia, you have always looked very tired for the past two days, are you okay?"

"Yes!" Sophia said with a grin, "I always feel sleepy, but it's okay, I'll just get a few good night's sleep when I get back to the manor!"

Seeing that Sophia was now in good spirits, the knight girl relieved herself and returned to Leon's side.

"We've been walking for almost two days, and we guess we should be at Fort Marks in another hour or two, right?"

"That's right," Leon looked up and down at the girl in the Blessed Knight Captain suit, his eyes flashing with an unusually appreciative look.

"You—don't look at me like that......" Caterina hung her head, her face flushed.

"Why?" asked Leon knowingly.

"Because, because ...... Because...... Because Erin will see!"

The knight girl's answer made the young lord choke for a moment, and he didn't speak for a long time.

“...... What is going on in this little comrade's mind?" Li Ang involuntarily looked back, and was relieved to find that the mage girl was still holding the book, and her head was lowered as if she was completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

On the "way back", Li Ang has summarized the effects of his special talents and skills, and then most of them have told Erin, who can already be trusted, this girl is in a good mood and her face has become extremely strange, according to Li Ang's secret analysis, this should be a subtle expression of envy and jealousy.

So the young man handed over a strangely shaped ring, which was taken from the mysterious man, in addition to 2 points of constitution and up to 4 additional attributes of intelligence, but also constant including "hazy magic", "mirror magic" and other spells, which can greatly improve the caster's protective ability, originally even if it was the only mage in the team.

Leon still remembers the little excitement on Erin's face at that time, and the nonchalance that immediately hid this expression.

"It's so strong!" he couldn't help but comment secretly.

When the young lord's gaze turned back, he suddenly noticed that another gaze seemed to be peeking at him, and he immediately looked over, only to find Melissa walking at the edge of the line.

There were two daggers pinned to her waist, one of which Li Ang had asked for from the two remaining "high-grade goods" from her mentor, and the effect was much better than the damage caused by the "bee sting" that she had given to the other party a long time ago, but the girl obviously didn't care about this, all she cared about was that the regiment commander didn't blame her for losing her weapon, which made her very happy.

Melissa was walking without squinting at this time, but she was silently muttering in her heart, "You shouldn't have seen me...... You must not have seen me!"

Li Ang looked at it twice, but he really didn't find anything, so he turned around and said to the girl next to him, "Melissa seems to have comprehended a new combat skill?"

"It seems that yes, her potential is very good, and her strength has improved rapidly, and it is estimated that she is now the strongest among us!"

"It seems you've forgotten someone......" the young lord began to sigh involuntarily.

"Humph!" Caterina snorted softly from her nose, "everyone says you're a monster, so we've gotten rid of you when talking about such things." ”

"Ah, that's not fair!" Leon grimaced, "You can't exclude me just because I have great talent and unlimited potential!"

The knight girl chuckled lightly and lightly bumped the shameless young man with her elbow, "Okay, we all know you're the best, aren't you?"

Li Ang took advantage of the situation and grabbed one of the girl's hands and held it in his hand, seeing the crimson on the other party's face spread out at a speed visible to the naked eye, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Leon ...... I'm so hot......" Caterina said suddenly.

"Hah!" the young man with two memories heard some different feelings from this sentence, "Is it ...... Is it ......?"

He whispered, "Katarina, but there are too many people around, right?"

"There are a lot of people?" Caterina looked left and right suspiciously, "What's wrong with the crowds? Once this induction stone you gave me is hot, it means that there is an emergency in the territory, shouldn't everyone know about it?"

......

The group immediately picked up speed and arrived at Fort Markham within a few dozen minutes, their original intention was to retrieve the carriage and drive it directly back to the manor. Unexpectedly, I heard shocking news here - a large number of aborigines of the Pale Mountains have invaded, and the deputy commander Luthor has gone with all his forces to intercept it.

"Let's go!" Leon knew that Jeff's message would not be untargeted, and that Luthor was fighting the enemy, and that there was definitely a connection between the two events, perhaps...... This time the enemy is very unusual, even Luthor finds it tricky?

After destroying a hundred goblins and several trolls in Brown Bear Town last time, I thought that there would be no large-scale border invasion during this time, but I didn't expect that in less than ten days, there would be such a large-scale invasion of aborigines?

Goblin cavalry, kobolds, trolls, and centaurs?

Are they trying to get revenge for their last failure?

Or...... Does this have anything to do with the mysterious organization 17?

......

Luthor did find it tricky.

The enemy swarmed in, this time with the goblin cavalry as the vanguard and quickly rushing forward, kobolds and trolls tightly behind, but the centaurs also began to charge from a distance, towards the human flanks.

With a solemn expression, Luthor separated the heavy infantry and the ordinary infantry and the garrison squads of the two towns, while he himself stood at the forefront with thirty or forty mercenaries facing the hundreds of goblin cavalry, his intention was obvious, the centaurs were the most threatening, so let the most defensive heavy infantry and regular soldiers meet them. And he used his own force to lead the mercenaries to block the frontal attack.

As for the acting lords and future trade district directors who did not want to leave, they were placed in the most central position by him, and they were protected as closely as the archers.

When the big goblins rushed over, Luthor shouted and met them at the same speed, the long sword in his hand turned into a cold light, constantly cutting the bodies of the surrounding enemies into several pieces, and the mercenaries in the rear were inspired by the strength of the deputy commander, and swarmed behind them to kill those wild boar mounts, so that at least the other party would become infantry, and could no longer gallop back and forth at such a speed.

The archers focused on the centaurs, but the effect was very insignificant, and the strong creatures just flicked the flying arrows away, and then picked up speed again, slamming into the shields of the heavy infantry, and the centaurs staggered back, and the heavy infantry also fell backwards, almost being flipped to the ground.

Everyone's hearts were shocked, if the line formed by the heavy infantry was broken, then the people behind would face a massacre, and they would simply not be able to resist the centaur charge!

Luthor immediately rushed back, his assault had already had an effect, with the mercenaries should be able to delay for a while, while the centaurs needed a strong man to disrupt their charge, and the heavy infantry could breathe a little more before they could hold the line again.

But Luthor was only one person after all, and he felt for a moment that he was incapable of doing anything, and he was a little helpless against the battle that had begun to be chaotic.

"Get out of here!" he shouted at Jeff and the others, "Go back and tell Lord Sù, these ......"

Jeff suddenly raised his hand at him and shouted in a louder voice, "Hold on a little longer, Lord Lord is already here!"

Everyone heard this, and they looked into the distance in vain, and a lone carriage was rushing towards the battlefield at the speed of a cavalry charge.
