The heavy Suomir horses were slow to walk, hard-working and ferocious compared to the light mounted horses used by the guards.

In order to avoid the wrong driving method and the horse goes berserk uncontrollably, the driver needs to be specially trained.

The crooked Talva-Sutar defence line is relatively flat and wide, with paved avenues. Many of the slopes that need to be climbed up and down are avoided, and masonry is dug to pave the road and build bridges where it is really difficult to pass.

The main Talwa-Suta road, consisting of wooden bridges and a gently graded slope, was accessible to hundreds of thousands of people every day during non-war periods. But even after generations of hard work, the trail is still not easy to walk. Especially in the case of carrying a baggage, some sections of the road may be dragged by heavy carriages and fall into the abyss with people and horses if you are not careful.

No matter what, the ground that you step on becomes solid will always bring some peace of mind.

The sound of "stomping" sounded in front of him, and since he had already left the Talva-Suta region, the Dragonwing Knight's escort had stopped there. The light cavalry troops supported by the Chamber of Commerce, dressed in Brigunt floor armor and light helmets, armed with spears, began to break away from the main formation and open the way at the front of the line. They were well-armed and rode horses of padrossi, which in the eyes of the layman were no worse than the average county army.

Many of the guards raised by the wealthy merchants were not much worse than the regular army, especially the spear-wielding light cavalry, which was stronger than the infantry from the hooligan ruffians in the Talva-Suta region.

Compared to the temporary war mercenary group, the cost of the full-time support of the escort is even higher. However, they are also relatively more loyal, and will not betray their escort because of a higher price. Many of these guards are from civilian backgrounds related to the Chamber of Commerce, and they are connected by blood and cultivated since childhood, and their loyalty to the caravan itself is also quite good.

The leaders and instructors who lead them are mostly retired soldiers or senior mercenaries, and the chamber of commerce has headhunters who will find such talents from the mercenary groups they have cooperated, and then dig into the wall.

Under such a premise, it is not surprising that the troops of the Chamber of Commerce are more elite than the average infantry.

But as the hussar at the front of the way with the "Sforza Chamber of Commerce" written on his spear with a swallowtail banner identifying his identity suggests, all these hussars, however elite, were still foreigners from Paderossi to the Northlands.

For more than 20 years, they made a lot of money in Suomir, but they never settled in the country.

This time was the same, when the news of the Great Swordsman's return spread all over the city, the top brass of the Chamber of Commerce immediately decided to transfer their valuable assets to the relatively more stable territory of the empire.

The cunning Lamanites earned the money of the Suomirs, but never intended to take root here and repay the country.

The long-awkward relationship between Suomir and the Padrosi people has not improved much after the opening of borders and the introduction of the Padrosi wealth exchange, for which the Laman chambers of commerce are more or less responsible.

But no matter what time it is, there is always someone who can break through the disharmony between nations and pass on their feelings to each other.

"Susie, Susie, you can open your eyes and see what this is-" The carriage was much more stable, and the man dressed as a young man of the Lamanite nobility had long black curly hair, and the subject he was facing was dressed in a simple Suomir costume, and the hair on both sides was tied up at the back of his head, looking gentle and generous.

"It's—" Susie sat on the other end of the carriage, her emerald green eyes shining brightly at the sight of the item—a pair of green opal earrings, and the metal mounts on them were made of Mithril, which was more precious than gold.

"Young Master Leon, such an expensive thing. She said this in a gentle but standard Lamanite tone, and reached out to push back the burgundy velvet box he had handed him: "I have received my heart, but I will not take it." You are the heir to the Sforza Chamber of Commerce, and I am nothing more than a commoner woman. ”

"It's just a mandarin duck playing in the water, and I'm already very satisfied with this love. She seemed neither humble nor arrogant, and that made Leon even more emotional.

"Don't do that, Susie. He casually put the box on the seat of the carriage, and then knelt down on one knee and held Susie's hand: "Identity can't hinder my sincerity." ”

"This was meant to be given to you when I was rowing in Cuihu Town, but I am. Leon blushed and scratched his hair: "When I got to the door, I suddenly couldn't muster up the courage. ”

"I'm afraid you'll refuse. Leon hung his head, his curly black hair hanging down. Although his status is not low, and there is never a shortage of women in his body, he is rarely infatuated with a person like this.

The Kaolin-like temperament of Suomir women contrasts sharply with the petite cuteness of Lamani women. Coupled with Susie's good upbringing and gentle character, Leon launched an offensive against her after only a little communication, and hired Susie as the caravan's navigator in the Suomir region.

"How could I refuse you. Leon's dejected and innocent appearance like a little boy made Susie smile gently, and she reached out to caress the other person's face, and looked directly into Leon's blue eyes with emerald green eyes.

"Put it on for me. Susie smiled, then pulled up her long hair, revealing her white neck.

"Ahh

"What's going on, young master?" The sunlight that poured in through the window, the green opal reflected the brilliance. The earrings corresponding to the color of her eyes are like a green lake on the snowy land of Suomir in winter.

Just the right amount of embellishment.

"Young Master?" Leon froze as Susie spoke again.

"Beautiful, but not as good as you. He said this, and then suddenly sprang down and grabbed Susie in his arms.

"You, in the carriage, be careful of bumping—" Susie laughed a little, but remained gentle. Leon moved his seat and sat down with her, the only sweet little world in the luxurious carriage.

After his wish was fulfilled, Leon even spoke in a brisk tone: "The days are a little untimely, I really hope that I can muster up the courage to give it to you when I am in Cuihu Town." ”

"It's a bit out of place to give you a gift like this on Halloween. Leon sighed, his tone a little lower again, but Susie lifted his mood back with one sentence: "I like it." ”

She said this, and Leon laughed like a little boy in love for the first time, and began to scratch his head again.

His face was flushed, and in order to hide his shyness, he began to change the subject: "Speaking of which, it is obvious that they are both Yetinas, and Suomir's rules are really different, and Halloween lasts for 13 days. On the Imperial side, it's only 5 days, and there's no such thing as cold food. ”

"Well, it's a tradition that's been around for more than a thousand years. In Suomir, this means everything. Susie hung her head and played with her hair with her left hand, looking a little distracted.

Yiren's sad appearance made Leon's heart move and at the same time a little heartache: "Don't be afraid, there is no way this time, when the caravan returns, I will apply with my father, and let the two of us go to the empire alone." ”

"Get out of this sad place. ”

"Your parents who were persecuted by the nobles, we must also pay tribute. He took her hands.

"I will have people modify the most luxurious tombstones in the Empire, and even if the bones are not there, I will give them a place to sleep!"

"I, Leon Pandur Sforza, swear that I will not fail Susie Mirtanan. The second elder is in the spirit of heaven, please take care of it, your daughter. ”

"From now on, I will guard it. Leon knelt down like a knight taking an oath, and Susie laughed at his actions, but just as she opened her mouth to say something, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Squeak-" Both of them barely fell. "Hey, coachman, what are you doing!" said an angry Leon as he opened the window in front of the carriage and roared at the coachman.

"Master, it's not that I want to stop—" The coachman looked a little alarmed, he pointed ahead, and Leon looked out the window to see that the whole team had stopped.

"You wait here, I'll go out and have a look. He said to Susie, who nodded, and Leon pulled open the door and ran out.

The position of the manned carriage was in the middle of the procession, and in front of it were the wagons carrying supplies and the cavalry that opened the way. Leon ran forward, many others in a daze as he did.

The sound of "Knock Knock" came from ahead, and then the light cavalry holding the swallowtail flag of the Sforza Chamber of Commerce appeared at the end of the road surrounded by the forest, and he galloped wildly, obviously running in this direction.

"Vlados, what's going on!!" Leon shouted at him, and the young cavalryman named Vlados stopped when he saw that it was his young master, and Leon noticed that his horse and body were covered in blood, and his whole face was pale and bloodless.

"I, we, young master. ”

"We've been attacked—" he said, and before Leon could ask for details, he heard a sudden whistling from the forest on the side.

If he had been more interested in weapons and martial arts than women, he might have been able to tell.

It was the sound of a sword breaking through the air.

"Bang ——!!" The war horse under Flados lost its head in an instant, and a big sword with a length of one meter and a half slashed it directly, and the blood splashed the two young people all over the body, and the decapitated war horse fell directly on its legs as soon as its legs were weak, and the overwhelmed Vlados screamed and was pressed under the horse.

"Ahhh

"Bang—dang!" he drew his one-handed sword from the saddle, but the other man easily slashed it with his arm.

"Ahhhh

"Ahh "Ahhhhh

Because of his love affair with Susie, Leon also learned a lot of Suomir, and he heard it clearly, what this person said.

"Don't, keep him, just kill the armed men. ”

The man, dressed in red Brigun floor armor and holding a large sword with brass trims, seemed to be the leader of the group.

"Haa Leon, who was stunned in place, seemed to slow down in his eyes, and the caravan that had been happy a minute ago was only screaming and blood at the moment, and the screams of people and the neighing of horses were everywhere, and he was stunned for several minutes before he finally reacted-

"Susie!" Leon's gentle eyes swirled in Leon's mind, and he threw aside the screams and blades behind him, and just ran wildly towards his carriage.

"Hahh——!!h Running wildly, Leon forgot something, but abandoned the guards behind him, who were still desperately resisting, and only wanted to run to his lover single-mindedly.

"Suzie, don't be aware, Susie—" "the devil!" the Ramanid roar continued, but the battle was one-sided. Originally ambushed, these Raman guards, who were unfamiliar with the terrain, boasted of themselves on weekdays, but were as powerless as children in the face of these legendary and terrifying warriors.

"Ha-ah-ah-" The tension of Leon's pampered body quickly exhausted him, and his oxygen-deprived brain gave up thinking even more, filling with only one thought.

"Susie. ”

Escape here with Susie, escape it all, find a peaceful place, and spend the rest of your life thereafter.

The carriage appeared in front of it.

"Susie, Susie!" Leon rushed over, and there was also a scuffle, the driver had abandoned the car, and the doors had been opened.

"Susie, where are you!" he shouted, then shocked by the blood next to the car. Started looking around.

"There it is!" the figure he couldn't forget, the touch of green. She's fine, that's great!" Leon thought, and then spoke as he ran over:

"Sue—"

"Boom-"

His white face was stained with blood.

There was no longer the tenderness he was familiar with in his emerald green eyes.

Susie wiped the knife over her long skirt and let the guard, who had his throat slit on the carriage, slipped.

She turned her face to this direction at the sound of a voice, and although the face was still the one Leon knew, the gentle and touching woman was nowhere to be found.

The turquoise eyes were as cold as Suomir's permafrost.

Leon suddenly remembered something.

Susie is.

their pilots.

"That gadget isn't for you—" "Boom-" A great swordsman handed her a Kramer, Susie twisted her head, and then ripped off her long skirt that was inconvenient for movement.

Beneath that Leon was accustomed to seeing his white thighs, but at the moment he couldn't lift any desire.

The killing lasted ten minutes, and after the collapse, many people fled. The remnants of the armed forces were slaughtered, and the top members of the Chamber of Commerce were all tied up.

The obedient horses stood still, in the midst of the mountains of corpses and blood, as if they knew nothing about it.

The scattered Great Swordsmen took the spears they had picked up and began to mend the swords of the guards who were not yet dead.

"What about this? Susie spoke to the ponytailed swordsman in Suomir, and she pointed to the caravan leaders, including Leon, whose acquaintances she had always talked to with with a gentle smile in the past seemed to her as if they were not even human beings in her eyes.

"Keep a low profile first, if you kill it, it will cause retaliation. We only take what we need and tie them up, and it's up to them whether they can loosen their ties and escape. The Great Swordsman named Hamir said.

"Tsk, be merciful to the Raman dogs, I think they'll kill them all!" said the other Great Swordsman, and as Hamir glared at him, he shut his mouth in understanding.

"Well, good. Susie nodded, then turned to leave.

"Why .......," asked Leon, whose hair was messy and tied up, and who had lost his soul.

Susie stopped.

"We should be, really. You are what I seek, the only one in my life. ”

"But why-"

"You won't understand, young master. Susie glanced at him condescendingly.

"My parents were not killed by the nobles of Suomir. ”

"Do you know why they don't have a tombstone. ”

"Because their bodies were dismembered and dumped in mass graves, where no other body parts could be found except their heads. The Suomirs could not do such a thing. ”

Only the Lamanites would do that. ”

"This is a time-honored practice, and in the northern Yatina beliefs, if the body is incomplete, then one cannot go to the afterlife. ”

"So in order to exterminate the roots of the Great Swordsman and any supporters, and prevent them from returning from Hell to continue the fight, the Imperials will always dismember the dead Suomirs. ”

"Not only in this life, but also in the next. ”

"Suomir also has a chamber of commerce, and my parents, who are sympathizers of the Great Swordsman, have blocked the Empire's commercial march into Suomir. Hindered your Sforza Chamber of Commerce from gaining a foothold in Suomir. So they have to disappear. ”

"I had a brief moment when I was counting on something, so I didn't even change my last name. But all the people of the Sforza Chamber of Commerce, including you and your father, don't remember the surname Mikatanan. I don't remember this little family who was just crushed in front of the wheels of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

"The Sforza Chamber of Commerce is built on corpses. This is the right scenario for you. Susie raised her hand, ripped off the earrings Leon had given her, and threw them on the ground.

"I ......" the young man still wanted to speak, but after all, he could only look at her back and go away.

"Did you find it?" said Hamir to the other great swordsman.

"Then hurry up and evacuate!" he said, and in less than five minutes the Great Swordsmen had left behind a trail of corpses and disappeared into the jungle.

Only the high-level executives of the Chamber of Commerce who were trembling in a sea of blood remained.
