In the evening, Xia Lan and the others followed the caravan and arrived in Xiamu Town safely from Beiping.

Geographically, Xiamu Town and Fei'an Town are located in the rich Windsor Plain, with almost the same prosperity. In other words, the towns in the Windsor Plain in the south are similar. Only by going north and passing through the Yannan Mountains can you feel the exact difference between the north and the south.

The goods sold by caravans are thin in the south, but the value of goods will rise exponentially after being transported to the north. Similarly, goods from the north can also be sold at a good price in the south, so the commerce of the Angrien Kingdom is especially the most common in the north-south trade. Traces of caravans can often be seen on the roads that come and go.

The caravan will only stay in Xiamu Town for one night, and will set off again in the early morning. After working hard for a day, everyone is physically and mentally exhausted. Even if they want to go out, they must carefully think about whether they have the energy to set off the road the next day.

After arranging the accommodation, Xia Lan quietly had a secret conversation with Singers, the captain of the Shanying Mercenary Squad. The result was more of a unilateral order than a conversation.

He asked Singers to send people to inquire about local public security and front-line wars every time he arrived in a town. Second, he had to monitor and follow the caravan every move. Third, he had to inform him of any suspicious things if he found them.

It has always been the responsibility of mercenaries to use money to eliminate disasters. It is no wonder that employers are picky and difficult from time to time. As for Xia Lan’s three necessary requirements, it is not difficult for Singers to accept them all. The only thing that makes him wonder is whether the other party is too cautious.

Singers was a retired king. He personally participated in the war against the border invasion of the Heather Empire in the year of freezing rain. However, after the war ended, he retired for some reason and embarked on the path of mercenaries.

The members of his team were all comrades who retired from the same period, and their styles were in line with the army. Loyalty, bravery and reliability were the reputation they had made over the years. Perhaps their strength was not the strongest in the local mercenary circle, but their credibility was the best.

The Mountain Eagle Mercenary Squad to which Singers belongs is very strange in choosing employers. With the same commission, they often choose the people who need help most without looking at the price. For example, vulnerable groups such as the elderly, women and children.

Joanna was able to hire the Mount Eagle Mercenary Squad for the price, and on the other hand, the conditions were in line with the principle of the Mount Eagle Squad for the priority of the employer.

A group of chivalrous people, this is what Xia Lan made of them.

After receiving the employment commission, Singers will first habitually observe his employer. Joanna will not mention it for the time being. But Xia Lan, who is wrapped in bandages, is an object that he must not ignore.

At first he thought Xia Lan was a groom, but the other party was really beyond his expectations. Unexpectedly, he was actually the employer's brother.

Based on his detailed understanding on the road, the employer's mother and daughter trusted the weirdo named Alan and could even use words to describe it. Singers, who was secretly concerned, immediately regarded the other party as their real employer.

Employers must not ignore the requirements, and these requirements are not too out of order and the implementation is not difficult, so Singers naturally agreed without hesitation.

In the early morning, Xia Lan, who was not asleep, was digesting the front-line information that the Shanying Team had been inquiring about was not long ago.

The border war is still anxious, and it is difficult to judge victory or defeat in a short period of time.

He sat in a chair in front of the windowsill, closing his eyes and trying to recall the details of the war in his previous life. At that time, his game characters were not in the territory of the Angrien Kingdom, but traveling around in Droshichen, the heart of the Heather Empire. The front-line war was very far away from him, and he only learned about the progress of the war from the words and phrases around him. The most impressive thing was that the Heather Empire occupied the entire Windsor Plain in a month, and the people of Droshichen also celebrated it.

How long did the Heather Empire take to break through the border garrisons of the Angrien Kingdom and drive straight into the country? This is a question he had to think deeply about.

The caravan was moving very slowly. It would take about ten days to reach the relatively stable north from Fei'an Town through the Yannan Mountains. If the war in these ten days extends, their safety will undoubtedly become a big problem.

Choosing to the north of the Kingdom was Xia Lan's last resort.

To the east is the Heather Empire's military front, and to the south there is no safe place except Gelves on the coast, but Joanna insists on not returning to Gelves. Perhaps going out to sea is a good way, but Xia Lan, who is familiar with the trajectory of war, clearly remembers that before the Heather Empire attacked the Kingdom of Angrien, it had sent a large number of naval forces to block the south coast, and even launched a fierce naval battle of a large scale. If you don't want to be a food for fish and shrimp in the sea, it would be better to eliminate the choice of going to sea.

To the west is the Principality of Bebernier. The problem is that the Principality of Bebernier is full of swamps and jungles, and with a large number of breeding snakes and mosquitoes, if you don’t pay attention, you will be in danger of life. Perhaps Xia Lan is not afraid of these. But the weak Joanna and her daughter are all over the body.

In desperation, the only target he could choose was the north of the kingdom.

However, the situation in the north of the kingdom seemed to be stable. The defenders of the Yannan Mountains even defeated the Heather Empire's invasion with the advantage of the geographical advantage. However, as the war escalated, the Yannan Mountains fell a year later, and the Angrien Kingdom was destroyed.

So they were able to stay in the north of the kingdom for only one year.

Unless they continue to reach the safest mountain of Revelation within the sphere of influence of the Holy Holy Spirit, their lives will never be peaceful.

Will Xia Lan go to Guishu Mountain?

It is impossible to think about it, even if his life is about to end within a year.

This is his persistence, just as Joanna insists that she is unwilling to return to Galves.

So, he would only say goodbye to them and go to Mount Revelation.

Walking at sunrise and coming at sunset.

After leaving Qingmu Town, Xia Lan and her group continued to pass through towns of all sizes during their journey. On the seventh day, everyone received a bad news.

The kingdom's border was lost, and Viscount Marksius died in battle.

Hearing this news, the entire caravan was very depressed and painful. Many people at the border were crying loudly. The Shanying Squad, a retired sergeant of the Kingdom, became more and more silent. Anyone could find that if they were not hiring a task, they would definitely return to the southern border to resist the invasion of the Heather Empire.

In fact, they are very confused, one is related to the safety of the country and the other is related to reputation and credibility.

Singers believed that even if they betrayed their employer and left, they would eventually return to the south to fight against the Heather Empire, and if they did, they would betray the belief that they had always insisted on.

“How far is it to the Yannan Mountains”

After Xia Lan learned this important news, she immediately approached Singers and asked.

"It will take about one day to leave the caravan and speed up the journey." Singers truthfully abides by his mercenary duties.

"We will leave the caravan starting tomorrow morning and arrive at the Yannan Mountains as fast as possible," Xia Lan decided immediately.

"Are you worried that the iron hooves of the Heather Empire will penetrate here without any force, Singers looked at Xia Lan coldly, his words full of sarcasm.

Faced with the ridicule of such a lover, Xia Lan did not refute, and said calmly: "I know you want to go back to the south now to fight against the Heather Empire, but don't forget that your employment mission is to escort us across the Yannan Mountains to Linquan Town in the north of the kingdom. Since the employer is willing to go, the faster you can return to the south. Are you unwilling to agree to such a killing of two birds with one stone?"

"As you wish, we will set off early in the morning." Singers nodded in silence for a moment, and turned around without looking at him.

It seems that I am a coward.

Xia Lan thought to herself, and couldn't help but sneer. As long as she could arrive in Linquan Town safely, what if she was a coward

Shortly after returning to the room, someone suddenly knocked on the door. When he opened the door, he found that Joanna was standing in front of the door with a pale face.

"Brother Alan, can we have a good chat?"

"Can."

As he said that, he welcomed Joanna into the house and closed the door casually.

"Brother Alan, it's true that trusting you is right. The kingdom is really defeated." As soon as Joanna sat down, she hurriedly said in a panic.

"We will leave the caravan and accelerate the pace of leaving tomorrow morning. You and Nina are ready accordingly." Xia Lan poured a cup of tea and handed it to the other party.

"Brother Alan, do you think it's not safe here?" Joanna, who was keen, immediately noticed the clues from his words.

"Just be careful, don't worry." Xia Lan comforted.

After all, the Heather Empire's record of occupying the entire Windsor Plain in a month in the game in the previous life was really terrifying. It seemed that it had not been subjected to any resistance at all. Could it be that the lords of towns in various places were useless? The answer may be only one. The members of the believers who subverted the Fang collectively launched a rebellion.

He did not guarantee whether such a thing would happen to the towns in Yannan Mountains. If it really happened, they could only escape desperately.

"Don't forget to protect our Mountain Eagle Squad. Even if there is danger, it will not be a big deal." Xia Lan said as if to strengthen Joanna's confidence.

"If we succeeded in reaching the north of the kingdom, will it be safe there?" Joanna worried.

"Of course" Xia Lan cut off the railway.

When Joanna calmed down and left, Xia Lan suddenly recalled what she said just now.

Is the north of the kingdom safe?

Now that history has changed, will the Kingdom of Angrien still resist the Heather Empire for a year or two like in the previous life game?

Losing his advantage over the future historical trend, Xia Lan discovered how insignificant she was without power. To be continued.
