When Allen heard this, he was also surprised. Wasn't the Battle of Tamesh Castle the last battle of his father's life? At this moment, he suddenly mentioned it, and his thoughts instantly started to tumble in his heart.
"Ah!? No! No! It seems to have been like this since thirty or forty years ago." The passenger boss was also startled and quickly explained. Then he said in a tone that was not very sure: "Anyway, I have heard about it more than once."
The business travelers mentioned it, and there seemed to be something wrong there. I even heard that troops from the Holy Light Holy See had gone in, but they were never able to come out again."
At this time, everyone looked at each other with doubts. Anyone with a little knowledge of geography knew that Belgrade was located at the junction of the Holy Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the three shady forces of the Blood Tribe. After a thousand years of bloody battles, in fact,
, all major forces have basically withdrawn from that area. The two major human forces, the Holy Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire, occasionally have small-scale border conflicts, but generally speaking, it is a no-nonsense zone.
If something happens in that place, then all possibilities exist.
"Should we go over and take a look?" Tina asked.
"Belgrade is almost in the opposite direction from Zurich. It's thousands of kilometers away from us." Kevin said depressedly, why are the clues thousands of miles away?
"If you really want to go, you can only choose one of the two. Choose one place first." Allen said.
"Go to Zurich?" Tina wanted to go to Zurich. She had heard some mercenaries and business travelers mention that it was very wealthy and the products were exquisite, and she had long wanted to go there. Moreover, Zurich was backed by the Alps, so it happened to be the right time for their trip.
The destination for hunting monsters.
Allen, on the other hand, wants to go to Belgrade, which is very close to the place where his father last disappeared. He always has an inexplicable feeling in his heart that he wants to go there and have a look. What's more, it's not far from the territory of the Rose Clan...
William looked indifferent, it was the same to him wherever he went.
But at this moment, Kevin came over and said, "Let's go to Belgrade. I'll go with you."
"Huh? You don't have to go back to the Holy See to resume your life?" Allen asked strangely.
"Brothers, just go back. Anyway, this mission is just to collect some information." Kevin smiled optimistically: "The main reason is that I heard that even our Holy See's troops were missing there, so I wanted to take a look.
"
"Can you really leave the team?" Allen was slightly surprised.
"Haha! Don't worry, the Holy See is not a prison. I'll make a report and leave for a few months. It'll be fine." Kevin smiled heartily.
Allen was very fond of Kevin, and the other two had received his life-saving favor, so they naturally would not object. So, the next morning, the four of them set out on the road and changed their route to Belgrade.
Fortunately, the terrain on this road going south is quite flat, which is much easier to walk than the mountainous road heading west. Everyone walked and inquired all the way, and arrived at the small town of Sombor on the night of the eighth day. It is already 30 kilometers away from Belgrade.
It’s less than two days’ journey.
It is actually not accurate to say that Sombor is a small town. This small town is located in the most border area of the empire. It is already somewhat desolate and sparsely populated. There are only a few dozen households in total. The sparse houses are scattered in the only main area of the town.
There are streets on both sides. In the center of the town is a lookout tower, which gives the impression that this place is more like a military post than a town.
"Now I think there must be something fishy in Belgrade!" Tina said seriously: "Several groups of caravans we met on the way here said that there are rumors that people will go missing there, and once they go in, they will never come out again."
"However, some caravans along the way said they had done business with people who came out of it, and they also saw people transporting food and goods in." Allen added.
At this time, a group of imperial soldiers came towards the crowd holding torches and asked, "What do you guys do?" These soldiers looked like soldiers maintaining this guard tower.
"I am a second lieutenant of the Legion of Justice, the fifth legion of the Knights Templar under the Holy Light Holy See." Kevin responded immediately, and his epaulettes and armor all proved the situation.
When the soldiers saw that they were from the Holy Light Holy See and the Knights Templar, they immediately showed great respect and said politely: "Hello, sir! What is your purpose in coming to this border area?"
"We heard some rumors about Belgrade and wanted to go over and investigate." Kevin replied.
"What!? Are you going to that hellish place?" someone among the soldiers exclaimed loudly.
"Oh? Do you know anything?" Kevin asked quickly. This place is very close to Belgrade, and these soldiers may obviously know more information.
"You must not do it! Once you go in, you will never come out again!" an older soldier said quickly.
"What's going on?" Allen interrupted and asked.
"It has been like this since more than 40 years ago! As long as someone goes in, he has never been heard of coming out again!" The old soldier muttered: "I remember when I was young, it was still a nice small town, and people came and went.
In the past, even if there was a war, it would be in the wild far away from the town. Then for some reason, it suddenly became like this."
"I heard from business travelers on the road that there are still people out there doing business?" Allen asked.
"I don't know about this. I guess it's not in our direction, right?" The old soldier continued: "I remember that more than 20 years ago, the Holy Light Holy See sent a group in, which was your Knights Templar. The result was
Guess what? It’s the same as never coming back!”
"What!?" Kevin said in shock.
"What's wrong?" Tina was curious. She had no idea about the military organization of the Knights Templar.
"There are more than 3,000 people in a regiment, and the leader is a strong man at the level of a school officer!" Kevin said very seriously.
"College officer level!?"
"Furthermore, since the war ended seventeen years ago and Tamesh Fort was completely destroyed, the empire and the Holy See have stopped sending people in that direction. Why did you suddenly come here?" The old soldier was a little strange.
road.
"This..." Tina felt a little scary and said, "Then shall we go over?" After all, there are only four of them in the group, and the most powerful one is only Kevin, the second lieutenant.
"We came all the way here and finally got here, let's go in and have a look." Kevin pondered, he was a little unwilling, and then said: "If the situation is really bad, we can evacuate quickly.
.”
"Then let's rest one night and start again early tomorrow morning." Allen suggested: "And the road in the next few days will already be outside the empire's territory. It is estimated that there will be no town where we can stay overnight."
At night, Allen and others were resting in the military camp in Sombor Town. At this time, Allen was leaning on the bed, fumbling with the necklace around his neck, silently looking out the window in a daze. This was probably the first time since he left five years ago.
After Rose Castle, this was the closest he got to her...
