Imperial Crown.

Chapter 314 The Woman Behind the Man

Just like the news Anthony received.

After just a few days of rest, Raven's troops have now left the Wall of Sighs and marched deeper into the Principality of Eivor.

Simon rode his warhorse among the troops.

With the air force as scouts, Simon also took a temporary rest and moved with the main force.

It is now mid-June. The sun is shining brightly, scorching the earth, and a somewhat scorching air rises from the road.

Looking around, the road was so crowded with 1 Eagle Army soldiers, 1 auxiliary soldiers, and nearly 2 serfs that there was no end in sight.

Marching is always a hard job. Walking under the scorching sun and on the hard road, everyone's face is covered in dust, giving off a dark texture.

Some auxiliary soldiers who lack training on a daily basis would even get sunburned on their faces, causing shocking patches of dead skin, so that wide-brimmed straw hats became the most popular equipment.

There are lush wheat fields on both sides of the road. When the breeze blows, the wheat fields are like waves.

"Be careful!" Simon whipped a supporting soldier lightly with his whip.

The dozing guy almost pushed the car into the nearby farmland.

"Yes, Lord Simon!" The auxiliary soldier quickly perked up and corrected his route.

There was no complaint towards Simon in his words, but rather a hint of gratitude.

Because if Simon hadn't reminded him, if he really pushed the car into the field, those civilian officers who came out of the academy and were responsible for enforcing military discipline would probably have beaten him to pieces.

Because Baron Raven ordered that farmland should not be destroyed.

Now Simon has learned to look at things from the perspective of a lord and a leader, and has a deeper understanding of Raven's orders.

Although Iron Birch County still nominally belongs to the Principality of Eivor, it has actually fallen under the jurisdiction of the Eagle Army.

In two months, the autumn crops will be ripe, and a considerable portion of the grain in these fields will be used as rations for Raven's army.

Compared to transporting food from the eagle thousands of miles away, this is much more cost-effective.

Thinking of this, Simon's gaze began to wander again, and finally fell on a black carriage in front of the team.

The carriage was pulled by four horses and was as big as a mobile home.

Baron Raven is in this carriage now.

This has also been the most discussed topic in the military in recent days.

Because in the past Baron Raven always set an example by marching on horseback, but since he came out of the Wall of Sighs, he has never left the carriage.

Moreover, according to the people guarding the carriage, they could always hear some strange noises, and sometimes their weapons would float up while they were walking.

Everyone was discussing whether Raven was researching some new kind of magic.

Simon asked Eric, and the answer he got was just one sentence:

"I do not know either."

Since there was no news from Eric, Simon knew that he would never be able to find the answer.

But I couldn't help thinking in my heart that the Baron never did anything meaningless.

What on earth was he studying in that carriage?

Shaking his head and burying the guess in his heart, Simon took out the handkerchief in his arms and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After dozens of washes, the handkerchief no longer has the fragrance it had when it was first received, but it is still very soft.

This made Simon think of its owner and Jenny's smile.

"I don't know how she is doing."

Simon felt a little regretful. Perhaps when he was sighing about the high walls, he should have written a letter to Jenny instead of just reporting his safety to his family.

"Speed ​​up, another 3 kilometers forward, and then we can set up camp and rest!" News came from the front.

Simon stretched his body and looked at the setting sun.

What you see is the gorgeous sunset clouds.

At the same time, in Eagle City, Jenny was staring blankly at the red sun in the sky.

"Why, are you thinking about your Simon again?" Nancy's voice suddenly sounded.

Jenny jumped up and turned around quickly: "Miss, no, I..." Seeing Jenny's face turn red like the sunset outside the window, Nancy couldn't help but smile:
"Think about it, what's wrong? I miss Raven right now, too."

Jenny nodded slightly. She knew that her young lady would never say anything against her will and always put it into practice.

When Raven was still in Eagle City, Nancy always wore extremely bright dresses, changing them every day.

But ever since Raven led his army into battle, Nancy changed her style and never bought any new clothes. She usually dressed simply.

For example, now, Nancy is wearing a light blue silk dress, her hair is tied behind her head, and her cherry lips are gently pursed.

Although she couldn't get rid of her innate cuteness in every move, she also had a bit of the majesty of the mistress of the house.

Nancy said, "Okay, don't just stand there, go get two cups, and let's have a drink and celebrate."

Nancy has heard a lot of rumors during this period of time.

Some people said that Raven took the people of the five northwestern counties to die, some people said that Raven was bringing disaster to the Nord Province, and some even cursed that Raven should die outside!
But all of this disappeared with the fall of the Wall of Sighs, and Nancy felt much more proud.

"I knew Raven could take down the Wall of Sighs." Nancy clinked glasses with Jenny and took a sip of wine.

"My husband has always been a top-notch hero on the continent!"

There was a pride in Nancy's words that could not and did not need to be concealed.

With only 400 people, they achieved something that no one in the entire empire had been able to achieve in years. This achievement is worthy of boasting about!

But Jenny was a little absent-minded.

Seeing this, Nancy asked, "Why, what's bothering you lately?"

Although the two were master and servant in name, they were like sisters in private. Jenny hesitated for a moment and said:

"Miss, I'm just a little worried. After all, Eivor is a duchy..."

"You're just worrying about nothing. Simon will be fine." Nancy comforted Jenny, but she was a little shaken.

She knew Raven, and knew that her husband would never be satisfied with taking down the Wall of Sighs and would definitely march deep into Eivor.

Unlike the Nordic province, the economy of the Principality of Eivor is more developed, and there are many mages active within it.

The most famous one is Querry.

This third-level magician was not tolerated by the Mage Guild due to his radical experiments and had defected from it five years ago.

During this period, he has been on the wanted list of the Mage Guild, with his head valued at 5000 gold coins.

But even with such a high bounty, he is still able to live a high-profile and comfortable life, which is enough to show his ability.

Now Raven is the only magician in the Eagle Army.

Nancy has full confidence that Raven will not lose to Quarry.

But after all, the enemy had more mages, the battlefield was in chaos, and he was not with Raven. If anything happened...

Nancy put down her glass.

Jenny was a little panicked: "Sorry, Miss, I said the wrong thing."

"Isn't it normal to worry about your lover?" Nancy patted the back of her hand generously: "Besides, you reminded me too."

"Help me get some paper and pen."

Nancy took the paper and pen handed to her by Jenny, thought carefully, and then began to write on it.

Just like Nancy herself, her handwriting is beautiful and gorgeous, but also has a stubborn and hard style.

Soon, a letter was completed.

This was addressed to the Earl of Tyrone.

Nancy herself has no way to leave Eagle City, and looking at the entire Nord Province, the only magician who has the ability and motivation to help Raven is Jon, a third-level magician supported by the Slater family.

As for the benefits, Nancy was not good at analysis, so she did not add any conditions.

But Nancy believed that Earl Tyrone could seek his own share without harming the interests of the Griffith family.

Half an hour later, a hippogryph rider who stayed in Eagle City flew into the sky.
