If you look around, there are many people missing fingers, ears, toes, etc. This tragic situation illustrates how cruel the previous battle was.

kill.

Even though they understood this, Lane was furious. If they had come earlier, there might not have been so many casualties.

Grim patted Ryan on the shoulder, and Ryan raised his head.

"Where is your carriage?" asked Grimm.

Olivia shook her head.

"Yeah, that's right. Then, let's go to Aliban on foot."

Grim looked around: "Those who can't walk will take our carriage. Please help the lightly injured to help the seriously injured."

For them, turning back is the only option. However, in this case, no one can possibly suggest moving on. So everyone followed Grimm's suggestion.

Seeing everyone start to take action, Ryan looked at Grim: "Thanks to you being here, we were saved."

"Help each other." Grimm patted Ryan's back gently and walked towards the others.

Helene winked at Ryan gently and followed Grim. Ryan watched them leave, and Olivia in front of her stretched out her right hand.

"I don't know why you're here, but thank you very much. Thank you again."

"Never mind. It's just a coincidence."

After letting go of his hand, Ryan whispered: "Although I don't know the specific situation, Aliban may be dangerous, right?"

Olivia raised her head and looked at him: "To be honest, the situation is very difficult. Thanks to Her Highness Ruth, we are able to persevere with difficulty."

"Really? Then let's hurry up and save grandma." After Ryan finished speaking, Olivia nodded deeply.

After the distribution of the seriously injured and lightly injured was completed, they immediately set off towards Aliban.

The group walked far away from the road, but decided to head straight towards Aliban due to a woman named Maria who was familiar with the forest.

This was a happy surprise for Lane and the others. Still, the atmosphere remained dull and depressing. It can be seen that the people in Aliban are full of regret.

The reason is obvious, the option chosen resulted in the sacrifice of many companions, coupled with a point of no return.

Although they were grateful for their escape, they could not rejoice without concern. Under such circumstances, Raila sat on the carriage with a straight face, and Helene sat behind her.

"Hey, Miss Raila." Helene asked, Raila turned around: "Huh? What's wrong?"

"If you were an elf, could you hear the trees?"

Hailin had only heard some rumors about the sound of trees, but didn't know much about it in detail. It is said that elves can detect the invasion of foreign enemies through the sound of trees.

If you can do this, the search task will become easier. Although it was very late, she still asked to make sure.

"Of course! But it won't work in this forest!"

"It doesn't work? Why?"

"Well, I don't know why!"

Helene was confused, thinking. If possible, Raila would have started using it. Besides, Nia would definitely ask her to do this.

What a stupid question, she scolded herself in shame, but she still had the question: "Can't you hear the trees?"

"Of course I can! But the forest doesn't think those children are foreign enemies, so it won't tell me!"

Hailin nodded, expressing understanding. What Raila meant by "doesn't work" was that it couldn't be used to search in this case, which was an answer to Helene's thinking.

In other words, Nia should have asked Raila before taking action.

"However, they don't regard those guys as foreign enemies..."

Although strange, the cause seems impossible to find.

"Well, actually, for the forest, the real foreign enemy is human beings." Raila said.

Hailin frowned and agreed. This was not a complicated question.

Monsters coexist with nature, and elves also coexist with the forest. Human beings often develop forests as their own residences. From a natural point of view, they become foreign enemies.

Raila then said: "But..."

She leaned close to Hailin's ear: "Hailin, you are not considered a foreign enemy."

Hearing this, Hailin was surprised. Hailin is a race called orcs. Like the elves, they have been living in harmony with nature since long ago.

Therefore, it does not seem to be considered a foreign enemy.

“It’s ironic that humans are the most hated by nature in this world.”

Understanding this, Hai Lin had deep doubts in her heart. However, she couldn't find the answer.

A carriage traveling on an unknown road, and a crowd surrounding it. Because of the thick fog, I couldn't tell the time, but through the feeling etched in my body, I knew that evening was approaching.

Ryan was confused. Should he take a break?

While keeping an eye on the front, Ryan turned his attention to Maria next to him.

"Well, that," Ryan faltered, "Maria."

Maria replied: "What's wrong?"

"Sorry. Maria, at the current speed, how long will it take to arrive?"

"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to arrive by evening."

Much faster than expected, Ryan was surprised: "Is it so close?"

"If we take the regular route, we will take a long detour." Maria said after understanding the intention of Ryan's question.

Ryan nodded. That being the case, it's best not to stop and keep going.

If we rest now and are attacked, the troops will be exhausted and may be completely wiped out.

So, it is a reasonable choice to stick to it now.

Thinking this, Ryan turned around and looked at Grim, who was holding the reins. Grim noticed his gaze, read Ryan's thoughts, and nodded.

"That's right," suddenly hearing a voice from the side, Ryan turned his attention to Maria again.

"An, it doesn't seem to work."

She could understand that it referred to the "Emperor" exam.

"Ah, sorry, I defeated you."

"Eh? No, this is just about strength."

Maria shook her head hastily at Ryan, who looked a little embarrassed. Then, her eyes lowered slightly: "Actually, Olivia should be going."

Ryan looked at her with wide eyes.

"However, because of this situation, we couldn't go and no one raised their hands, so I came here. An said to help,"

Ryan just turned to look at An behind him. He couldn't see clearly because of the thick fog, but he could see the shadow on her face when she lowered her head.

Before departure, An was more active than anyone else in taking care of the wounded. If she had stayed, she might have joined the unit. With this in mind, it's easy to imagine her inner remorse.
