The horse-drawn carriage carrying passengers moved forward on the bumpy gravel road. This important road connecting the Kingdom of West Wind and Verga was relatively smooth, but the caravans that passed by all year round made deep dents.
The horse-drawn carriages of this era had poor shock-absorbing effects, and the road was not very smooth, so the passengers sitting in the car were a little wobbly along the way.
After the initial novelty, the passengers on the car began to feel sleepy. Some closed their eyes to rest, and some simply leaned on their seats and snored.
Lorraine Hill lowered his head and looked at a long letter in his hand. This was sent by a rabbit in the Tisilan Mountains using a silver-winged warbler, reporting some recent daily situations in the mountains.
The Silver-winged Warbler is an original Sequence 2 monster. It is small in size and has gray feathers that gradually turn into metallic silver on the edges of its wings. This bird flies very fast and is small, so it is not easy to be found. It is used as a messenger.
It couldn't be better.
Before leaving, she taught Kanda some military formation skills and military strategy knowledge, hoping to train a group of officers. After that, if it is not a busy farming season, she will let the rabbits organize military training. As long as they are adult rabbit ears,
Each clan must take turns to participate.
Lorraine Hill has put a lot of effort into making every rabbit have basic military literacy and no longer run around when in danger.
Sometimes they would also find some Sequence 3 gray-bone violent apes as their sparring opponents. This kind of monster has rough skin and thick flesh, is difficult to penetrate with swords, and has huge strength. It is an excellent target for actual combat training.
After reading the progress of various recent plans, Lorraine Hill collected the letter and put it into the lining pocket of his robe.
At present, everyone's training atmosphere is very high. Perhaps because of the abundant food and the improvement of life, the Rabbit Ear tribe's courage is much greater than before. Some have begun to actively participate in training and express their intention to join the legion. The current military strength of the Tixilan Mountains
At present, there are still escorts in various cities and a small number of magic beasts. A large legion is actually only being prepared and considered.
While Lorraine Hill was still thinking about what style of legion to form, the carriage suddenly stopped, and there was a burst of exclamations and noises from the front.
"Oh no, there was an accident ahead, and many people died." A big man in the car in front ran over, opened the door, and shouted loudly.
The people in the car were a little flustered and got out of the car one after another.
Five horse-drawn carriages carrying passengers stopped on the roadside. Many passengers had already gotten off the bus, and a group of people gathered in front.
Lorraine Hill also walked over curiously and heard a burst of noise.
"Everyone, listen to me. We'd better turn back as soon as possible and leave with the large caravan in a few days. It's too dangerous to continue walking."
"It's not that serious. The group of people who died were probably killed in a vendetta, not bandits who robbed the road. Look at the iron armor those guards wore. Normal bandits can't beat them."
Seven carriages were burning on the road ahead. The carriages were covered with arrowheads, like hedgehogs. There were more than twenty dead guards lying on the roadside. Most of them were shot to death by arrows, and a few were resisting.
He was later killed with a sword, leaving no one alive.
The flames on several carriages had not been completely extinguished, emitting green smoke. Some of the burned structures were carbonized into black, and collapsed from time to time, making crackling sounds. There was also a burning smell in the air.
"It really doesn't look like it was done by robbers. They didn't leave anyone alive and burned the carriage to destroy evidence. Robbers wouldn't be so wasteful. And burning the carriage is too eye-catching. This road is a trade channel between the two countries.
, there will often be troops coming to clean up the robbers in the surrounding area."
The black-haired young man who was opposite Lorraine Hill was calmly analyzing from the side. Although his voice was not loud, the girl still heard it keenly.
They were indeed not robbers. The girl looked at the dead guards in front of her. Several of them were masters of Sequence 2, and ordinary robbers would never be able to defeat them.
"Look, everyone, there is actually the logo of the Carites Chamber of Commerce here."
A middle-aged man shouted, and everyone gathered around, only to find that under one of the overturned carriages, there was a pattern of night flowers on the other side that was not burned.
The Kalites Chamber of Commerce is a well-known large chamber of commerce in Verga. Although it has only been established for more than ten years, it has expanded very rapidly in these years. It mainly deals in cotton spinning, citrus, fur, timber and shipbuilding. Qiyehua is

"Tsk, tsk, you dare to attack the people of the Carites Chamber of Commerce, aren't you afraid of retaliation? I heard that the Carites Chamber of Commerce has several fleets, equipped with artillery."
"Who knows, maybe the leader of Carites will die here this time, and it's doubtful whether Carites will exist in the future."
"No way, isn't Angus the boss of the Carites Chamber of Commerce? How could he die here?"
"That's not necessarily true. I saw him appear in Sea Buckthorn City a few days ago."
"Really or not, if he really died here, it would be a big deal."
After hearing this, the people present were a little scared and turned over the corpses one by one to check and confirm.
After a while, it was confirmed that Angus's body was not among them.
"It would be nice not to have one. It's really unlucky. If Angus really dies here and conflicts arise between the two countries, we will be the living scapegoats."
A group of people were a little scared, and finally decided to go back the same way, and quickly report the situation to the Kingdom of West Wind. The Carites Chamber of Commerce has been engaged in trade between the two countries all year round, and has a wide range of contacts. They can just report this matter, and there will be big people to worry about it.
Lorraine Hill looked at the messy scene in front of him and noticed that there were drops of blood on the grass blades on the edge of the road, spreading into the distance. However, these blood drops were very small and relatively far apart from each other, so other
No one noticed.
While others were not paying attention, she slowly left the group, and not long after, the passengers got on the carriage and returned the same way.
Following these drops of blood, Lorraine Hill walked for a while, and then the clues ended.
She looked at the grass that had obvious traces of being stepped on, and guessed that the injured person had bandaged his wounds and then flew away.
Not many people have the extraordinary ability to fly, and most of them still rely on props to achieve it.
However, even if it is bandaged, it cannot be hidden from Lorraine Hill.
In front of the masters of the demon sequence, the faint smell of blood in the air was so obvious.
At this time, Lorraine Hill no longer hid, and quickly walked through the mountains and forests, his black robes fluttering in the wind, but he didn't make a sound, as silent as a ghost.
After walking for three or four kilometers, her footsteps slowly stopped, and subtle conversations came from behind the rocks in front of her.
"Master, are you feeling better?"
"I'm afraid it won't get better, Seres, please let me down."
Then came the sound of coughing up blood. Even though the voice was a little hoarse, Lorraine Hill could not mistakenly remember that it was Angus who had talked to her a few days ago.
