People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

Reinhardt rode his calf horse Torret leisurely on the trade route of Nimgerfu, enjoying the surrounding scenery.

It's a pity that although it is called the trade route, no caravan has passed by. Even the villages along the way have long been reduced to ruins, and countless wild dogs are wandering around again, gnawing on the corpses.

One or two even rushed out from the ruins and took them as breakfast.

This is completely incomparable to the previous border area. It is simply a beautiful exterior with rotten inside.

It seems full of vitality, but in fact it is old and feeble.

To be honest, he was a little doubtful whether Marika had made the right decision.

Perhaps she wanted to bring destruction to the border area first and then create a new life, but the price she paid was a bit too high, wasn't it?

I didn't notice it in the game, but I still couldn't help but sigh after seeing it in real life.

But in the final analysis, these things have little to do with him. He just needs to do his own thing. Besides, this kind of thing is not something he can stop at all.

Even if he doesn't cooperate with Malika, Malika will still carry out these things to the end.

After all, it makes no difference whether he is there or not.

Thinking of this, he tapped the calf's belly lightly and quickened his pace.

Coming out of the basement on Yizhan Street, he had three directions to follow.

One is to go to the Misty Forest. Since Melina appeared, Brother Wolf should also be in the Misty Forest.

The second option is to return to Storm Pass. Whether you want to go to Lienia or Gaileed, you need to pass through the pass that is heavily guarded.

However, he did not choose the first two options, but chose the third one, intending to visit the city of Morn on the Weeping Peninsula.

If possible, it would be best to rescue the Lord of Moren City and his daughter.

After deciding what to do next, he drove Torret quickly towards the Sacrifice Bridge in the south.

That is the edge of the continent of Nimgufu. Across the sea from Nimgufu is the Weeping Peninsula, which is also where Greg is stationed.

Therefore, the Sacrifice Bridge, an important passage connecting the Weeping Peninsula and Nimgefu, is naturally heavily guarded. Several heavy crossbows and various defensive fortifications such as chevaux de frise are completely blocked.

"Kill them, Torret!"

Looking at the heavy crossbows set up in front of him and the Grek soldiers and knights, Reinhardt's eyes flashed and he swung the reins vigorously.

Torret let out bursts of roars, as if blessed by the wind elves, and suddenly turned into a gust of breeze and rushed towards the Sacrifice Bridge.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The moment their figures were exposed, the soldiers blew their horns and aimed their bows and arrows at Torret, Reinhardt and others.

Whoosh whoosh—

Arrows came like a storm, breaking through the air. Torret stepped on the air, constantly changing direction and dodging left and right, easily avoiding the arrows.

But at this moment, the giant crossbows were rumbling and turning, aiming at the direction of Torret's landing point.

Boom——

"Toret, jump!"

At the moment when the thick crossbow arrow was about to strike, Torret suddenly jumped up to avoid the attack of the crossbow arrow, and began to walk in the air under the gaze of everyone.

Moreover, his speed was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye he had arrived at the center of the Sacrifice Bridge.

Before the soldier in the front could react, Torrett's horse hoof had already stepped on him.

Boom!

The soldier fell down with a thud, his neck broken by a step.

Like a game of whack-a-mole, Torrett set his sights on someone else.

dong dong dong-

Along with the continuous sounds, the vitality disappeared in the numb eyes in an instant, and the rare runes that escaped were all collected by Reinhardt.

"Well done, Torret!"

Reinhardt stroked His mane, then took out a few dried golden Loya fruits from his leather bag and fed them to Him.

I didn't expect this little calf to be so powerful. I originally thought it could only do a double jump, but it turned out that the little calf could even walk in the air. It is a bit similar to the deer believed in by the ancestral people.

Seeing this, Torrett immediately neighed and started to eat happily.

Roja fruit is Torrett's favorite snack, whether it is dried, fresh or frozen, Torrett loves it.

It's just that the stock in his bag was originally collected occasionally when he was in the Yatan Plateau, and he intended to use it to make wine.

But because the number was too small, he gave up this plan and even forgot about it.

It wasn't until I saw Torret that I remembered there was something like this in my bag.

But it is also very strange. No matter whether they are soldiers or knights, they are just like machines, mechanically guarding the bridge and turning a deaf ear to what is happening behind the bridge, even though the battle on the Sobbing Peninsula is in full swing.

These guys were still guarding the bridge as if nothing had happened. They were only responsible for eliminating the enemies who tried to cross the bridge. The corpses of the hybrids were proof of that.

Not only that, there are several corpses hanging on the tower of the bridge. Judging from their attire, they are indeed Greg's soldiers, but why are they being hung here for public display?

Because of dementia? But it doesn't seem like it, he's clearly still rational.

Reinhardt was a little confused.

"....Hello, is anyone there?"

"?"

Just as he was about to set off along the road to the southernmost city of Moren, he heard this call.

Following the sound, I saw a blonde girl sitting on a big rock nearby. She was blindfolded and her white dress was stained with blood. She seemed to need help.

At the intersection near her, several hybrids were wandering around, gnawing on the corpses of soldiers on the ground, and next to them was a broken carriage that had been pushed over.

This scene looks quite strange.

This girl must be Irena, but it's amazing that she wasn't eaten by the hybrids...

"...Excuse me, is anyone there?"

While he was thinking, the girl's voice came again.

Reinhardt drove Torret slowly to her side.

But before he could say anything, the girl had already sensed his arrival and said in surprise, "Oh, that's great, someone finally pays attention to me."

"Please, please listen to me."

"My name is Irena, and I escaped from the southern city of Morn."

"The servants in the city rebelled. I was born with blindness, so I couldn't fully understand what was happening, but I heard terrible roars coming from all directions."

"My father let me escape..."

"But he stayed in that city, believing that was the duty of someone in power."

"...I'm worried about my father."

"The servants were furious and hated all of us. Those who had escaped with us were attacked by them... and all disappeared."

"Will the same situation happen in Moren City..."

"...So, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Can you please give this letter to my father who is staying in the city?"

"Even if I have to bear the stigma of being a coward for abandoning the city, I hope my father will leave that city."

"...I hope my father survives."

Reinhardt dismounted and listened quietly to what Irena said, but to be honest, he had an indescribable strange feeling.

If it were a game, he could consider it the game's mechanics, but in reality it's a bit too weird.

How come it happened that a rebellion broke out in Moen City just when he arrived here, and he just happened to meet Irena?

Rather than meeting halfway.

In addition, this girl was related to the three-fingered witch Haida and the insane fire, as well as what Chapolili had said before, which made him feel that everything was not so simple.

"Melina, what do you think?" Reinhardt asked in a low voice.

"..."

At his call, Melina suddenly appeared, standing beside him and looking at the blonde girl in front of him, shaking her head: "...I don't know, but this matter is a little unusual."

Melina also responded in a small voice, her amber eyes slightly narrowed, as if trying to see through the girl named Irena.

But unfortunately, she didn't see anything.

"Please, please help me, please..."

Irena pleaded again with tears in her eyes, and the eye mask she was wearing gradually became wet with tears.

It doesn't look fake.

After observing the girl and thinking for a moment, Reinhardt said, "Of course I have no problem delivering the letter for you, but what are you going to do? Just stay here?"

"Not to mention that it takes a long time to go back and forth, there are a bunch of hybrids wandering around here. Aren't you afraid that they will use you to reproduce?"

The idea of reproduction was something he made up, and he didn't understand the living habits of hybrids. But after being oppressed for so long, it was normal for them to capture a few humans for pleasure, right?

Not to mention a pampered aristocratic lady like Irena.

However, even though he made it up, it still frightened Irena so much that she shuddered and said with a forced smile:

"It's okay, my retainers will protect me and take care of me."

"But your retainer has been eaten clean by the hybrids," Reinhardt said bluntly. "Look, the hybrids over there are still gnawing on your retainer's arm. It sounds very crunchy."

I saw several winged hybrids holding axes chopping at the corpse beside the collapsed carriage not far away, and then picking up the removed parts and gnawing on them.

After he said this, Irena suddenly seemed to have heard those voices, and her little face turned extremely pale.

Although this matter was very strange, he was now certain of one thing: Irena was not the mastermind.

At least this fear wasn't acted out.

Melina on the side looked at Reinhardt's face quietly. After hearing what he said, even she, who was not very emotional, could not hold back her emotions.

Is it really okay for this person to speak so directly?

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Are you already infatuated with me?"

“…”

Melina quietly withdrew her gaze upon hearing this.

This person not only speaks directly, but is also very narcissistic.

"This lord..."

"Reinhardt, this is my name, just call me Rhine."

"Okay, Lord Rhine... What should I do then?"

Irena's voice was faintly tearful, and it was unclear whether it was because of fear of the hybrids or sadness over the death of the retainer.

Maybe, it's both?

After all, the mayor of Moren City is a good lord, and as a daughter, Irena should be a good daughter of a good father.

As for what to do....

"Isn't this simple? I'll take you to see your father, and then you can hand the letter to your father in person. Isn't that all right?"

"But...."

Irena was a little hesitant, as the journey was full of dangers.

Although she couldn't see with her own eyes, she could still feel the continuous deaths of her retainers who were trying to protect her and escape from the Weeping Peninsula.

But what she didn't expect was that everyone died, leaving only her...

Reinhardt naturally understood Irena's concerns and comforted her, "Don't worry. I was once a Knight of Kalia, serving the Kalia royal family and the Moon Princess, Rani. Being a hybrid isn't much of a threat."

"...Are you telling the truth?"
