The morning sun saves the earth from darkness, the fresh air with moisture is full of pleasant breath, the fields are golden, everything is brilliant under the embrace of the sun, everything is shining, a vibrant scene, walking in the surrounding of such a scene, the mood can not help but become very pleasant.

An old, freight-passenger wagon, surrounded by two riders, travels in such an environment.

Surrounded by endless fields, ripe crops almost as tall as a full-grown man's chest, and the carriages and riders were as inconspicuous as ants on the path that weaved through the gaps between the fields.

Dressed in a half-new half-body leather armor with a thick linen coat underneath, Gehr sat on a horse with a bow and a sword, looking no different from the usual mercenaries in the border areas.

The rider who was a few positions behind Gehr was dressed in much the same way as Gehr, but with some scarlet yellow hair and marks on his face carved by the years, the rider looked more like an experienced mercenary and Gehr looked like a fledgling novice.

The groom driving the carriage carefully drove the carriage behind the two riders, and the carriage drawn by the two horses walked slowly and steadily. Judging by his appearance and dress, the groom was almost identical to the old rider, and he came out of the same mold.

The front half of the carriage was a passenger carriage in which Lucary and Iona sitted, while the second half was similar to the cart used to haul grass in the countryside, with a lot of goods and food mainly dried meat and water packs on it, and a large oilcloth covered them all underneath, looking no different from the traveling merchants who traveled to and from the Amlock region.

Gehr and his party had been away from the city of Sieborg for three days, and had been on this hidden path that had been found by scattered traders leading to Emlock.

After being recognized by Vickery, Gehr instinctively felt that something was wrong, because before setting off from San Rotarlo, the notification document from the organization headquarters to the West Berg branch should only have his false identity written on it, and the West Berg branch could not transfer the information of the headquarters without permission, except for the subordinates around him, no one should know his true identity, and now it was revealed by Vikley, which made Ger a little confused and uneasy, and there was always an inexplicable sense of crisis around him. In addition, he had also met people from the hermitage, and just in case, Gehr directly used the hidden line provided to him by Prince Fayellino, and secretly left the city of Siborg that night.

The purpose of going to the park at night to practice swordsmanship was also to attract possible watchers and create conditions for Lucarin and Iona to contact the hidden men.

However, this trick did mess up the entire city of West Borg, and Geer's secret departure first made Vickery think that Kang had a special method, and had already contacted Gell and understood his plans. Because the military camp is in the suburbs, the delivery time is a little slow, when Vikley learned the news, it was too late to blockade the city, although he knew that Dodgel's target was Amrock, but he was not sure whether Gehr would continue to go to Amrock after learning the news, so in a fit of anger, he could only mobilize his own men to pursue from all directions out of the city, and at the same time sent people to investigate around the city to see if anyone had seen the whereabouts of Gehr and his party.

At the same time, he had to find an excuse to clear Cordray's men from letting him know that he had lost control of the situation.

After a busy night, even the Snake Family, which had been entrenched in West Borg City for decades, was in a hurry, and finally got the news from a hawker in the morning that he saw that the group of suspected Gehr had left the city last night through a passage that few people knew about, and the direction of the direction should be Elmlock.

After receiving the exact information, although it was not clear why Gehr would go to Emlock, Vikley immediately put his main efforts on the road to Emlock, and left a small number of men in other directions to investigate, lest Gehr's suspicious array lead him in the wrong direction. The deal with Kodre was going on as usual, and although last night's action caused the wrath of the Kodre's side, after Vickery provided Gehr's destination, the time to get out of town, and the possible road map, Kodre could only suppress his anger and mobilize men to pursue him.

However, this also caused a weak control over Siebberg City, and in addition to Vickery's thought that Kang had been in contact with Gehr, he didn't pay attention to this little person, and all his attention was on Gehr, after all, as long as Gehr died, even if Kang was alive, he would not have the ability to make any big moves, and Gell would not die, even if he killed Kang, the little person, would have no effect on Vickery.

Thanks to Vickerley's thoughts, Kang, who was unfamiliar with life in West Berg City, was not caught, but when he spent several days sneaking into the Naims Hotel, he found that Gel and his party had been away for a long time, and he only knew the general destination of Douglas for a long time before quietly leaving West Berg City and heading towards Emlock.

......

"Where are we now?" asked the rider beside him as he watched the fields in front of him begin to become a little barren and noticeably different from the environment he had experienced in the previous days.

The rider and the groom were brothers, hunters, the groom was the elder brother, named Ida Brian, and the younger brother was called Klemi Brian, and Gehr had asked Fajellino for men who were familiar with Emrock before he set out from San Rotarlo, and the two brothers were the ones Fajerino had given Gehr to use, and before he set out, he informed them to come to the city of Siborg and wait for their rendezvous with Gehr.

The two brothers did not lose their status as Amrock experts, and took Gehr and they went directly to this little road that few people know about and generally only used by small smugglers.

"Now that we're out of the control of Seaborg City, we're two days away from being within Emlock's range. Clemi said respectfully.

Gehr nodded, slowed down the speed of the horse carrying him, lagged behind the carriage, turned over the tarpaulin, took one of the deflated water bags that was still half there, and poured himself a mouthful.

Watching the plants around him gradually recede, becoming shorter and shorter, the hot wind blowing in the temperature gradually increased, driving his dark red hair back up, and he didn't feel a little cool.

After pouring another sip of water, Gehr put the water bag back under the tarpaulin, kicked the horse's belly, and the speed increased in vain, and he came to the front again.

"There's no place to rest in front, and it's better to replenish a little water. Gehr asked Klemi, these days he was in a hurry early in the morning and at night when there was no sun, and he found a shady place to rest at noon and afternoon, but in order to ensure the speed of progress and cover up the traces, he did not go to the nearby villages to replenish it, and now the prepared water was almost exhausted, and a few animals could consume much more water than a person, and it would be very difficult to support it for another day.

"About two hours further on, we will enter the wooded area, where there is a river where we can resupply water, one of the few specific safety supply points on this road. ”

After listening to Klemmie's words, Gehr looked up at the sky, it was about nine o'clock in the morning, and two hours later happened to be the hottest time, the two brothers were worthy of being veterans, and the route was arranged very carefully.

"My lord, with that supply point as the boundary, the boundary will start to be unstable, and a small caravan like ours will not attract the attention of those big thieves, but some small thieves will still follow, so be more vigilant. Klemi reminded.

"Well, I know. For such a veteran suggestion, Gehr is still very receptive.

After walking for nearly two hours, I saw a continuous forest at the end of my sight.

Looking at the dazzling green, the heat brought by the rising sun couldn't help but alleviate a lot, and the Gehr and Brian brothers subconsciously sped up and walked towards this cool place.

After a while, the convoy rushed into the embrace of the woods, and the moment it stepped into the woods, it gave people the illusion that they had entered another world, the pleasant green surrounded the convoy, and the summer heat suddenly disappeared, making people a little lazy, the horses shook their heads and snorted, and even Lucarine and Iona couldn't help but pull the windows and enjoy the greenery that represented vitality.

The speed of the convoy slowed down significantly, and under the guidance of Clemi, it slowly moved in the direction of the river.

Although he walked slowly, he didn't have much time for the pleasant sound of the water and the river stones dancing together to reach Gehr's ears.

Crossing a bush at the corner in front of me, there was suddenly a very open space, and the sunlight was not blocked by the tree cover, and it shot straight down on the small river below, which was about three meters wide, and the stones that existed at the shallow bottom of the river became as dazzling as jewels.

At the same time, Gehr saw a figure fetching water from the river, a young man dressed in gray linen clothes, and he saw Gehr's convoy suddenly appearing.

Astonished, ecstatic, excited...... A series of expressions suddenly flooded the young man's face, crowding his small face at once to be particularly exciting.

Then, he turned and burrowed into the jungle behind.

"Attention, it's bandits!" the Brian brothers warned in a loud voice.

The next moment, Gehr saw the shadows of the riders rushing out of the bushes and killing him—five, driving the galloping horses, the riders' faces with expressions similar to those of the young man before them, and their mouths open for screaming.

The cry came out of their mouths, but it was just a pile of notes that had no real meaning.

Gehr drew his sword.

His combat experience has allowed him to react instinctively when he feels that something is wrong.

Kicking the horse in the belly, the horse galloped to meet the blinding sunlight, and Gehr turned slightly sideways on the horse to avoid the flash of light that hit him in the sunlight, and the sword in his hand staggered with the figure that galloped past him.

Blood splattered in the sun.
