"The two of them will escort you back to the Southern Kingdom. ”

Saying that, Sister Mary pulled a stool at random, sat in front of General Patton, and said lightly: "The Wolf Tooth tribe has violated my rules, that is the punishment they should accept, this has nothing to do with anything else, you clean up and can go!"

"Mary, I know that......"

"If this trip goes well, you should be able to get out of the Winter Springs Wilderness in less than ten days. After this incident, I owe you no more. ”

After saying that, Sister Mary got up and walked towards the door, leaving behind Lance and Ike, who were a little inexplicable, a little overwhelmed.

Lance knew that this was the help that Sister Mary asked him to help yesterday.

He doesn't have a problem with that.

And neither he nor Ike had any reason to refuse.

After Sister Mary left, the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward.

"General, this is ......"

Lance asked.

"This is Morrison, the next heir of our Batcheld family, thank you for the previous matter, and the two of you will be troubled for the future. ”

"Where is the general, Sister Mary asked us to do a favor yesterday, obviously, it should be the matter of escorting a few people back to the Southern Kingdom. ”

Lance said politely.

Then Morrison walked up to Lance and said politely: "Brother Lance, Brother Ike, I have heard about the matter in the canyon, thank you for your help, and when you return to the kingdom, if you have any requirements, I Morrison will definitely meet the two." ”

"Your Excellency Morrison is polite, since Sister Mary has already said it, then let's pack up and leave!"

"But General Patton's wounded ......"

Morrison looked at General Patton with some hesitation and said.

"Out of the way, Mary has obviously arranged everything, let's go!"

With that, everyone quickly packed up, rode the war horse prepared by Sister Mary in advance, and galloped away in the direction of the Southern Kingdom.

After Lance and the others left, Sister Mary stood on the roof of the tavern, looking deeply at the direction they had left, and muttered, "You should come on the next full moon night, right?"

————————

Two days later, in the Winter Springs Wilderness.

Lance and his party were cautiously moving in the direction of the Southern Kingdom.

In just two days, they have already encountered dozens of attacks by Western tribal forces.

Fortunately, Ike has the ability to open the falcon's vision at any time to observe the surrounding situation, which allows everyone to avoid the pursuit of large forces.

At this time, Lance and his party were hiding in a long-dried river valley to rest.

They did not dare to light a fire to keep warm, but wrapped their cloaks in the ice and snow, and after eating some dry food prepared by Sister Mary in advance, they curled up on the edge of the river valley.

Lance looked at the somewhat tired group, leaned over and whispered to everyone: "Those wolf cavalry's tracking ability is too strong, especially those wolves' sense of smell is too keen, if we take the conventional route, we will definitely encounter more pursuits, although we are lucky not to be discovered by the large army, but this is not a way, and General Patton is injured, if that happens, I'm afraid we will fall into a bitter battle." ”

Lance made a more rational analysis of the current situation of everyone.

His words made everyone fall into deep thought.

In the team, Morrison is an ordinary person, and taking him with him is a burden, but General Patton's main task is to escort Morrison back to the Southern Kingdom.

It seems that he has some big secret, or something particularly important, that has attracted the pursuit of Western tribal forces at any cost.

Lance and Ike didn't say a word about it.

There are some things that are not good to know too much.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Lance quietly poked Ike with his hand, and the latter coughed lightly and roared, and also approached everyone, agreeing with Lance's words: "Lance is right, General Patton, our current combat strength is not enough to support us in a long battle, we must find another route." ”

Along the way, every once in a while Ike needs to turn on the falcon vision to check the surrounding situation, so his mental power consumption is also very large, so that the current Ike looks a little tired.

It's okay to consume like this in a short period of time, Ike is strong and can hold on, but if it is like this for a long time, he doesn't know how long he can last.

What's more, they also have to face some unavoidable encounters at any time.

"Brother Lance, Brother Ike, I'm causing you trouble along the way, if we don't take the regular route, then we can only take a detour to the Death Swamp, the Monster Canyon and the underground caverns back to the Southern Kingdom. ”

It was Morrison who spoke, although he was not injured, but his physical strength could not catch up with the rest of the people, if he took the conventional route, it would be difficult to protect him by relying on the few people in front of him.

Moreover, the horses they were riding had been lost, and if they had walked on their feet, they would have to fight the wolf riders head-on if they were discovered.

After Morrison's tone paused, he glanced at everyone and continued: "The Death Swamp is a forbidden area in the Winter Spring Wilderness, unless we have the strength of the Great Order Realm, otherwise we don't need to consider the path of the Death Swamp, then the only thing left is the Demon Beast Canyon and the underground cave, as for how to choose, it depends on everyone's opinion." ”

Clearly, Morrison was in favor of Lance and Ike's idea.

The current situation is well known to everyone.

If they don't venture to the Monster Canyon or the underground caves, then they won't have any chance of returning to the Southern Kingdom safely when they are chased by the wolf cavalry.

For a moment, General Patton and the three cavalrymen were silent.

Now it's a matter of choice.

Lance and Ike didn't care, if it was a last resort, there would be no problem if they wanted to save their lives.

And they came to the Winter Springs Wilderness to train themselves.

Fighting, non-stop fighting is the best way to improve their strength.

But now they need to escort Morrison back to the Southern Kingdom with General Patton, which makes them have to make a detour.

Lance looked at General Patton, who was a little entangled and hesitant, and the three cavalrymen, so he sighed and said to Ike, "What do you think?"

"I recommend going to the underground cave, I heard that it was once a mine opened up by the dwarves, although there are unknown dangers inside, but in the face of the non-stop pursuit of the Western tribes and the endless demonic beasts in the Demon Beast Canyon, the underground cave is undoubtedly our best choice. ”

Ike thought for a moment and said.

He had heard of underground caverns in the tavern.

From there, you can walk directly through the Winter Springs Wilderness to the boundaries of the Southern Kingdom.

As long as he reaches the boundary of the Southern Kingdom, with the influence of General Patton, he can completely call on the local border garrison to block the pursuit of the western tribes.

At the same time, the underground cave is also the fastest route back to the Southern Kingdom, which can save almost half of the distance.

One of the most important reasons is that in the underground caverns, the wolf cavalry will lose all advantages.

And in the underground caverns, they face the same danger as the wolf cavalry.

If the terrain is used well, the monsters in the underground caves will also be a help to block the power of the western tribes.

After Ike finished speaking, he nodded to Lance and said no more.

Lance, on the other hand, was very satisfied with the tacit understanding between him and Ike, so he looked at the silent General Patton and said, "General Patton, it is obvious that Sister Mary has not made any arrangements for us, otherwise we would not have been hunted down by the Western tribes not long after leaving the Winter Spring Tavern, and now we must make a choice, otherwise with our current strength, it is impossible to escape back to the Southern Kingdom safely." ”

"I agree with the Lance and Ike brothers, uncle, for now, we have to fight, and what I have in my hands must not fall into the hands of the Western tribes under any circumstances, otherwise the Southern Kingdom will be in danger. ”

"Morrison, the underground cavern has been occupied by goblins, and it is said that there is a sealed demon in the deepest part, if you only face the goblins, it is better to say, if that demon awakens, we don't have enough power to protect you......"

"Uncle, then let's go to the underground cave, I think everyone has no opinion, right?"

Morrison interrupted General Patton's remarks and smiled optimistically at the group.

Immediately, Lance and Ike both nodded in agreement.

Then the three men, all who agreed to go to the underground cavern, looked at General Patton and the three cavalrymen, waiting for them to make a decision.

Suddenly, while everyone was waiting for General Patton's opinion, a wolf howl sounded from not far away.

"Oops, we've been discovered!"

Ike thumped his thigh with some chagrin.

This is his dereliction of duty, and along the way, Ike is acting as a scout for everyone.

But just now, when everyone was discussing whether to take a detour, he didn't open the falcon vision in time, which led to everyone being discovered.

Fortunately, the number of wolf howls sounded like they were just a vanguard team that had been exploring and scouting.

You have to fight quickly and get out of here, or they will have no escape when the big army arrives.

"General Patton, you protect Morrison to go to the underground caverns first, Ike and I will stop them, and then we will follow the team. ”

With that, Lance and Ike drew their swords and ran quickly in the direction of the wolf's howl.

Barely half a bucket of smoke, Lance and Ike had already encountered the vanguard team.

Fight when you meet, there is no nonsense to talk about.

As Lance ran, his wrist shook rapidly, and several wind blades struck the charging wolf cavalry.

At the same time as the Wind Blade shot out, Ike also activated his emerald power.

Almost instantly, Lance flew in the air and kicked the wolf cavalry who was charging forward, and then Lance turned around and twisted, and the sharp sword of Sohana slashed, and the wolf was slashed by Lance's sword with the wind element.

Lance struck a successful blow, regardless of whether he was surrounded by wolf cavalry or not, he jumped up and killed the kicked wolf cavalry with a single sword.

Ike and Lance play almost identically, and this is the best way to deal with the Wolf Cavalry charge when they don't have mounts.

After killing the two wolf cavalry and the wolf in an instant, Lance and Ike relied on their speed advantage to dodge left and right in the wolf pack, which had already disrupted the advantage of the wolf cavalry's charge.

In less than a bucket of smoke, the entire ten-person wolf cavalry vanguard squad was killed by Lance and Ike, along with the wolf.

However, Lance did not show the joy he deserved because of the victory in the battle, he frowned and looked at the dead wolf cavalry.
