6th of March.
"You must be cautious. If there are any special circumstances, you must seek Mage Casson's opinion."
"How old are you? You should control yourself when it comes to women … "
No matter how cunning Count Milnor was, he was still a father in front of his son. Like all fathers, he did not forget to repeat many things before he left.
Sienna, on the other hand, was much more mature than his young and frivolous peers. He kept nodding and making promises like a good son obeying his father's wishes.
"Alright, alright. Come back early. I hope you can gain some experience and see how the nobles handle things. If there are any inadequacies, think about what you would do if you were in their shoes. Would you be able to do a better job?" Count Milnor waved his hand. "I shall not nag anymore …"
Sienna bowed respectfully and boarded a luxuriously decorated and spacious carriage under his father's watchful eyes. A middle-aged man came over and greeted Milnor. He then pulled the cloak that covered his robe and followed the team.
This was Mage Casson, who was trained by the Milnor Family. He had the title of "Intermediate Mage" in the Sorcerer Association. According to Roddy's standards, this mage was currently at level-17 and was a standard "Elementalist". In this era where there were very few mages, he was definitely an "uncrowned noble". Hence, he did not show any signs of humility when facing Milnor. It was as if he was just helping a friend along the way.
Sienna sat in the carriage obediently until the carriage left the city gate. However, when they arrived at the first town outside the city, a few young ladies who had been arranged to wait there boarded the "young master"'s carriage. All the servants in the carriage pretended not to see them …
Perhaps the only one who disagreed with this was Mage Kason. He would occasionally look at the swaying carriage in front of him that would occasionally pant or growl. He pursed his lips and continued to read those difficult spell books with his head lowered …
More than a thousand miles away, the Orcs on the Nehemia Grassland also began to pack their luggage and get ready for a long journey.
The Beastmen lacked resources, so they could leave at any time. The nomads were already used to living without a fixed place to live, so it took less than a day for the six hundred Wolf Riders to be ready from the moment Godard gave the order.
"Warlord Godard, if we suddenly leave like this, how will we explain this to Great Chief Sauron?"
"Just wait here. When his people come to me, tell him that I just left. Remember, you must tell him that I'm going to do a preliminary investigation, got it?"
"Yes! Warlord Godard! "
The scorching sun shone on the sturdy Beastman's body. Godard looked back at his eager soldiers with a cruel glint in his eyes.
Solon would only start preparing for the war in April, but Godard's departure this time was not just for 'advance reconnaissance'.
He gently stroked the battle axe with his fingers and jumped on his huge wolf. Then, he took out a beautifully drawn map from his pocket. He silently recited the "positioning mantra" that he had learned recently. After confirming his current location, he pointed to the east and ordered, "Warriors, let us become a nightmare that will make humans tremble!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "
"Long live Godard!"
"Kill everything!"
The slogans were not uniform, but their desire to kill was more intense than ever.

"We've only been back for a month, and now we're going out again …"
Camilla looked at Roddy, who had changed into a new set of leather armor. Her eyes flickered. "I wanted to tell you to be careful, but looking at the situation now … there's really nothing to worry about."
"Look at what you said. It's never a bad thing to be careful."
Roddy smiled. He always felt that Camilla's tone was a little strange. It inexplicably reminded him of the wives who sent their husbands to the front line …
But this was just an illusion. When Akasha's figure appeared outside the door, Camilla had already regained her usual calm appearance. She coughed lightly and continued, "The upgrade of the city's defense is on the agenda now? I always feel that this part of the funding is better used for development in other areas. "
"Listen to me, it's better to be prepared."
Seeing that Roddy had no room to refuse, Camilla no longer argued as before. In this winter, Roddy had used his actions to prove that his decision was correct, so this "strong woman" had gradually become accustomed to supporting his decision.
"Brother Roddy!"
Naifei shouted outside the house. She rushed into the house like a gust of wind. Before she had time to say anything, she was pulled by her mother and reprimanded, "Pay attention to your image! How can you run around here?! "
Roddy hurriedly pulled Camilla. The spoiled Naifei did not care what her mother said. She hugged Roddy's waist and shouted, "I want to go too! Brother Roddy, you promised me! "
"Hey hey hey! I didn't promise you directly! "
"I don't care, I don't care, I don't care!"
Naifei shook Roddy hard, "You said that there would be no danger this time. I'm almost bored to death in the city. Can you take me with you!"
In the past, Naifei did not dare to contradict her mother. However, now that she had a backer, her ability to act coquettishly broke through the sky. Akasha, who was at the side, was stunned. If she did not know better, she would definitely think that Naifei was Rody's daughter.
Camilla was originally firmly against Naifei going out, but if she was allowed to go with Roddy, then Camilla would be a hundred times more relieved. The castellan definitely raised her like a princess. She would not let her suffer even the slightest grievance.
"I'm not just going out to play. Some things are quite dangerous."
"Don't lie to me! I heard you said that everything is prepared. You won't lie to me, right? "
"Uh … this."
"I promise I won't run around, I promise I won't cause any trouble. I'll just stay by your side, okay? Can't I not leave you at night when I sleep? "
"Naifei! What are you talking about! "
Seeing that Naifei was really going all out, Camilla also looked at Roddy as if asking for help. Of course, she knew that she could not blindly suppress Naifei's request. As an "arcanist", the most important thing to do was to travel around and improve her level in practice. Now that there was someone she could trust, if she still did not agree to Naifei's request, there might really be an irreconcilable conflict between mother and daughter.
Rody observed her expression and naturally understood that she had agreed. However, he still put on a troubled expression and said, "Then, you have to promise not to act alone, do you hear me?"
"I promise! I promise!"
Naifei shouted excitedly. But before she finished her words, she saw Roddy turned around and walked to the storage room next to him. Not long after, he came back with a pile of things —
"I was going to give you this robe for your birthday, but this time, you must wear it at all times …"
"Brother Roddy, I didn't tell you about my birthday."
"Uh … I didn't have time to ask."
Roddy was nervous. He really did not ask anyone about Naifei's birthday, because it was something that could never be erased from his memory. But now, he could only quickly find an excuse to cover up his lie.
"I asked the tailor to make this robe a few days ago. There are rune crystals inlaid on it. The replacement runes are in this bag."
Roddy did not say that the material of the robe was a thin layer of dragon skin that had been tanned by the High Elves. It was the softest area on the inside of the dragon's abdomen. For ventilation, the robe was pieced together in pieces. Ordinary people would mistake it for cloth if they did not look closely.
But Camilla could tell what the material was at a glance. She could not help but sigh in her heart. Perhaps even she could not bear to let her daughter wear such an expensive robe …
Just how much does Roddy want to spoil her!
An inexplicable jealousy welled up again. Camilla bit her lips a few times to suppress it. However, when she saw that Rody had given her another four or five magical props to hang on her body, she still covered her slightly twitching cheeks.
"Roddy … Isn't this a little too much?"
"No, no, no. Didn't the Arcanists in the High Elves' era do this? Hey. "
He wanted to arm Naifei to the teeth, but Camilla did not want to see him spoil Naifei like this. She sent her daughter away to pack her luggage.
The final confirmed departure list was only four people: Roddy, Naifei, Natha, and Akasha. Rugkat would still stay in the city to train the new soldiers, and the rest of the private soldiers would be gathered by Sodelor.
But when they were about to leave, Camilla still felt that it was not safe with so few people. She even took the initiative to ask Akasha to bring some "Undead Soldiers" as "guards."
Akasha and Camilla rarely talked to each other. One could even say that they did not see eye to eye. But this would not lead to prejudice, especially when it came to "safety". Akasha also knew that Camilla was reminding her out of kindness. But when she mentioned the "Undead Soldiers", her expression was a little strange …
Roddy did not notice this. He thought about how his team of nearly a hundred people could still be attacked in the Bogdo parish. He did not dare to be careless, so he said, "Let's bring a hundred people and choose the strongest ones. When the time comes, it will be fine as long as they don't show up in front of others."
So when they left Elsen City, Roddy's team immediately seemed to have grown a lot stronger. Not only did he bring people with him on this trip, but he also brought along his "Three Fools" magic pets. The loss he suffered in "King Solomon's Treasure" made him deeply understand the importance of magic pets. Therefore, at this moment, the "Train King", who was carrying all the supplies and pulling the luxurious carriage, was walking in front. The Nokia was thrown into the luggage pile, and the Celda Duck was squealing foolishly as it circled above the team …
Just like that, the team to Da Vinci's territory set off.
