Two months later.

Kingdom of Norn, border.

Tyron is the Frontier Commander and is responsible for ruling and managing a border army of 50,000.

Taryn has always been very responsible for the management of the army, and has to take care of many things personally.

A month ago, the patrol team that was supposed to return on time has not returned.

It's been a whole month and there has been no news from this squad.

Originally, it was just a small team, and it wouldn't report to Taryn's level.

However, due to Tyron's interest in these matters, he also learns that a mountain patrol team is missing.

"It's strange, there hasn't been any action in the Thunderly Kingdom recently, why is a team all missing."

Taryn was keenly aware of the anomaly.

In the mountains outside the border, there are few powerful monsters that haunt them.

Even if there are monsters, there are several knight-level powerhouses in the team.

Even if you can't beat it, a dozen people can always run out of one or two.

If a neighboring country makes a move, it will take at least an army of dozens or hundreds of people to wipe out all a dozen people.

It was in the mountains, and it was easy to run, but it was difficult to catch up if you drilled into the woods.

But now, the patrol team has been gone for a whole month.

He thought for a moment and called his herald over: "Send a team of 100 people, divided into ten teams, into that mountain range, and search for the whereabouts of that team. ”

The herald wondered, "Your Excellency, is it necessary to dispatch so many people?" They may just be lost. ”

"No, it's not that simple. Remember to tell them that these ten squads should not be too far away from each other, so that they can be supported in time. ”

Taryn shook his head and insisted on sending a team of hundreds into the mountain.

The team of 100 people will go to the mountain range, and search for all traces within the patrol area of the mountain patrol team.

After Commander Taryn personally gave the order, the hundred-man team was quickly assembled.

These 100 people are all elites in the army, not only are there many knight-level powerhouses, but there are also three big knight-level powerhouses in charge.

A hundred men marched mightily towards the mountains, vowing to find the whereabouts of the missing team.

To live to see people, to die to see corpses.

……

Since meeting the mountain patrol team two months ago, the three of them have had an additional mission in addition to exploring and drawing maps.

That is patrol reconnaissance.

Every few days, the three Hellags went out on patrol to see if anyone was approaching.

Both months were peaceful, with no other humans coming close.

All three of them were carefully drawing maps and completing patrol missions.

Life at Base 27 is generally boring, with no entertainment facilities or entertainment.

However, wizards are people who can endure loneliness, and there is not much demand for this.

The wizards who can come here to participate in the opening up of the war want to go further and don't care about this little thing.

Herag, as usual, stood on the top of a hill, watching his surroundings.

The mapping was almost complete, and most of the mountain range had been covered by them.

Patrol missions are also boring in general.

The scenery in the mountains is not bad, but no matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will see it every day.

Herag looked ahead and suddenly crouched down.

"There's someone up ahead."

As soon as he said this, David and Ruiss both leaned over and squatted down, leaning against the trees in front of them to cover their bodies.

Standing on the top of the mountain, they could see a group of people ascending the mountain at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

This group is quite numerous, estimated to be in the hundreds.

Herag took out a telescope and took a closer look, these people were all wearing standard light armor, exactly the same as the mountain patrol team he had met before.

"It seems that the army of the Norn Kingdom is here for the previous mountain patrol team, go back and tell Mr. Kane and Lord Parker."

Gerag slowly stepped back with his body low, and David and Rees nodded and followed.

They quickly returned to Base Twenty-Seven and informed Parker and Kane of the incident.

"A team of hundred?" Parker pondered, then said, "Kane, let them not go out during this time. ”

"Understood, Master Parker." Kane quickly went down and gave orders to the people in the base.

Parker continued, "If it's just the Frontier Army, don't worry, they won't be able to detect the existence of Base Twenty-Seven. We just need to pay attention to whether there is a caster on the opposing team. ”

"Spellcaster? Wizards? Herag asked.

Parker nodded, "It's almost, it's just a different name." ”

The search for the hundred-man team soon began, and everyone at Base 27 was closed for this time.

All stay in the base and don't go out.

Base 27 has a hidden witch array.

At most, there are strong knight-level powerhouses in these hundred people, and they don't know anything about the witch array.

With these people, even if they searched for a hundred years, it would be impossible to discover the existence of Base 27.

The search for the army of 100 men soon began, and after a hundred men entered the mountain range, it was still a little insufficient.

After all, this mountain range is so big that it is impossible to search everywhere.

But most of the area is walked through.

On several occasions, these men walked past the gates of Base Twenty-Seven.

However, they were completely unaware of the existence of Base Twenty-Seven.

In their eyes, it is a mountain wall, and there is mountain spring water flowing on the mountain wall.

Soldiers who were thirsty also went over to take a few sips and rest against the mountain wall.

In this case, it is impossible to know that there is a base behind the mountain wall.

A month later.

The team of 100 people was evacuated.

"Lord Commander, we've been searching that mountain range for a long time, and we haven't found any trace of the missing team. However, some traces of human activity have been found in the mountains, but it is not possible to determine whose ones they are. The head of the team of 100 began to report.

They didn't find the missing team for a month.

Taryn frowned: "It's really not simple, since so many of you can't find it, there's no point in continuing to look for it." ”

He turned to the herald and said, "You go to the Adventurer's Guild to issue a mission and go into that mountain range to search for all suspicious traces." I wonder if maybe only those spellcasters will be able to find some clues. ”

The number of casters is small, and their status in the army is not ordinary, and it is impossible for a commander to direct them into the mountains to search.

Only adventurers from the Adventurer's Guild can be delegated, and those people only need to give money.

There are still many talented people in the Adventurer's Guild, and Tyron will not despise them.

In fact, the army often cooperates with these adventurers, and this is not the first time that a commissioned mission has been issued.

There are many things that are inconvenient for the military to do, or are not suitable for them to do.

These adventurers are free in status, capable of ability, and free from any constraints.

In many cases, it is easier and faster for them to get things done.

The herald nodded, "I'll deal with it." ”
