Throne of the North

Chapter 221 Along the way...

In the wilderness of mountains, forests and river valleys, what you can see when you look up is the towering peaks and the directionless sky. If you lower your head and try your best to catch them, you will often accidentally get scratched by weeds and dead branches.

If these three hundred people hadn't all been wearing multiple layers of animal skin armor and were surrounded by a hundred heavily armed knights, they would have died on the road long ago.

"Edward, where did their mounts come from? They look taller and more powerful than our pack horses, but they are shorter than war horses."

Next to Edward, a lean and muscular man couldn't help but look at the mounts under the knights with shining eyes. He couldn't help but swallowed hard. It would be great if he also had a mount.

A knight with a mount is a knight.

"Call me Trade Officer."

Edward straightened his clothes and gently wiped away the mud.

This was a trophy of silk and satin captured by Master Lane during the war. The master generously gave some rewards to Edward. After asking around for a long time, he found the most skilled lady in the Tundra Territory and knitted a piece of clothing more gorgeous than the mud legs.

He looked at the horses under those knights and was very envious, but unlike his companions next to him, he was knowledgeable.

"Don't ask blindly about the lord's abilities. Maybe this is a war horse captured in the war."

"Where are those cat people in Apia? It's been so many days and I can't find any of them."

Edward was a little angry, and the lord told him to continue teaching the cat people on the road. As a result, the cat people were good. Except for surprising him by suddenly appearing every evening, they couldn't see anyone at all other times.

"This...I don't know either."

"It is said that they are very powerful, it is better not to see them."

The dogleg said that he was also a little frightened by the sudden appearance and disappearance of the cat-man assassins.

"This is not possible. The extremely great lord said that if I can find those cat people on the road, he will give me a blessing as a reward."

When he heard the word "blessing", the dog-legger next to him opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He subconsciously wanted to scream, but his mouth was immediately covered by Edward.

"You were selected as a reserve!"

The dog-legged man stared at Edward, feeling abandoned.

"If you have the ability, go and find it. When the time comes, I will tell the lord, but don't yell. There is not even a complete road in this damn place. The roads under our feet are all over the Kingdom of Andala and Bill." Provided by De Butler.”

"If we provoke a powerful monster, we will all die. Please keep your voice down."

"I don't know how Butler Beard brought people into the Kingdom of Andara in the first place. Hey, if I had such ability, I should be able to get closer to Master Ryan."

Edward sighed, and the dogleg next to him kept rolling his eyes as he looked at the surrounding environment.

"I don't believe those cat people don't poop."

"Remember, if I find it, you can tell the lord and bless me."

Only one meter away, Appia sat on a stone and listened to Edward's voice. Although he was sitting on the stone, his whole body had actually merged with the shadow cast by the tree above his head. His body was accompanied by The shade of the trees swayed in the breeze.

Around him, there were thirty cat-man assassins, just like him. In fact, they were always in all directions of Edward and the two of them. The open ground was always crowded with dozens of people.

Appiah didn't plan to tell the teacher. He was worried that the other person would not be able to sleep and would not have the energy to teach them the next day.

He looked at his fingers and thought about the information he heard on the road. They would be able to enter the Kingdom of Andara in about five days.

There will be someone to pick them up. What this team is transporting is not only the second batch of weapons for Archduke McReynolds, but also some specialties from the Tundra Territory. Baron Lane wants to open up a trade route to the Kingdom of Andara, an endless trade route. Trade routes known to the empire.

But there is no road at all in this barren mountain. According to Baron Lane, there will be a road after the transport team goes back and forth a few more times to clear away the wild beasts or monsters on the road.

Appia glanced at the carriages. Each carriage was terribly heavy. Many times, the knights even needed help from dismounting to move forward smoothly. Sometimes he wondered whether the person in this team was responsible for pulling the carriage, the knight or the pack horse. .

If it weren't for the fact that some good roads would appear intermittently for the carriage to move forward smoothly, he doubted that these pack horses would be needed at all.

The power of knights is still very powerful, especially the knights in this team, every one of them is an official knight.

These were the one hundred most elite men in the Tundra Territory. Having experienced the brutal wars with Baron Lane, Appia always remembered the warriors who charged and fought wildly against the barbarians under the flag of Rhinohorn Mountain.

At that time, they did not have mounts.

Thinking of his mounts, Appia wrapped his cloak around him. He felt a little strange that the knights' mounts seemed to be able to detect them.

They were not ordinary mounts. Appia was shocked as to where Ryan had conjured up these war horses. When those knights rode on the war horses, their strength increased to a higher level.

The secrets of the Tundra Territory were only partially revealed to him.

Appiah thought this way, and then he understood the reason. His loyalty has not yet been fully recognized.

"Perhaps, this mission is the key."

Apia held a piece of paper in his hand, on which there were the names of more than a dozen nobles, but there was no name of the Grand Duke McReynolds, the destination of their team this time.

"According to what Edward said these days, it seems that there is a big conflict between Grand Duke McReynolds and the Andara royal family."

Apia looked at the names of the nobles on the paper, some of whom relied on the Grand Duke, and some of whom were still loyal to the royal family.

"Thirty cat assassins are still too few, maybe we should think of a way."

Apia was thinking, and he didn't realize that he didn't know how to think before. He just needed to wait for the orders of Earl Weiss, and didn't care about or ask about the extra things.

Five days passed, and when the whole team was exhausted, a sharp eagle cry suddenly came from above, but the sound was thicker than that of a goshawk, like some kind of beast on the ground.

Harrington, who was at the front, raised his head, and his sharp eyes under the mask stared at the griffin soaring and circling above his head, and his palm slowly touched the beast bow behind him.

What they didn't see inside the Griffin Mountains, they saw when they left the Griffin Mountains.
