Devil's Journey

Chapter 55
The so-called eastern mountainous area is the name of the Duoran County people. This section of the mountainous area is a hilly mountainous area extending from the northwest side of the northern section of the South Tyrell Mountains. The continuous hills are not too steep.

Although the woods are luxuriant, they don't look humid, but rather dry. The sun in early autumn shines through the forest, and it's not too hot. In fact, it's quite livable. The only drawback is that.
'It would be great if there were no alien tribes running down from Mount Tyrell, and then we could build a manor nearby. In your free time, it would be nice to invite friends to experience the beauty of the autumn forest. '

Although Layla was fully armed, she looked quite relaxed, because the few mercenary regiments she selected were all excellent teams with good reputations. Although they were a bit more expensive, they were worth it. At least they wouldn't make Layla sleepy every day. Worry about mediating trivial disputes between several teams.

Although most of the teams were hired, their combat effectiveness and combat quality were not bad. Whether it was an adventure team searching for a path or a mercenary group marching along the mountain road, they all performed very sophisticatedly.

Of course, Leila will not be so stupid as to only rely on the mercenary group and the adventure team. Not to mention the female servants who grew up and trained with her since she was a child, her father even sent her a family guard of more than a hundred people. , and a private army of 200 people.

Andres's family emblem is a silver lion, so the personal guards are also called the Silver Lion Guards. These soldiers are all of bronze rank, and the commander is a silver rank lieutenant named Luen. He served in the Sixth Army of the Kingdom and was also an old subordinate of his father. Later, he retired with his father, and then joined the Andres family and was knighted.

This Lord Loen's daily job is to train the personal guards for the family. He also has rich experience in actual combat. He is also the real commander of this crusade. (Jazz is regarded as a transitional title between baron and knight.)
Leila looked back, and in a blink of an eye saw the lieutenant Lu En, who was wearing plate armor and had a gray beard and hair, coming riding a strong horse.

'Ok?Lieutenant Loen's expression was a little dignified?It seems that something bad happened, or something unexpected happened. Leila's expression tightened, but she didn't show any panic. Instead, she calmly continued to explain the task to Lawrence, the head of the Hound Mercenary Group beside her.

The Hound Mercenary Group is a medium-sized mercenary group with more than 200 members. This time, Lawrence brought almost all of them. It is also the largest mercenary group. There are more than 50 soldiers in the Bronze rank. , the rest of the people are also high-ranking soldiers in the black iron.

In addition, there are two silver-ranked Lawrence and his deputy leader, who can be said to be elites. Naturally, the purpose is not only the relatively generous salary. If it is purely for making money, Lawrence would rather ask for less employment money than spend Almost all the family assets were brought out, and the main reason why he worked so hard was naturally because of Leila's employer.

Young, beautiful, talented, aristocratic, and a good family background, the entire Duoron County is famous for its delicate flowers. Apart from being a little proud and unapproachable, she has almost no shortcomings. In front of such a beauty, Lawrence simply couldn't hold back his restless licking heart.

What if my bravery, heroism, or other aspects impress this noble female knight?In that case, not only will he embrace the beauty, but he may even step into the circle of nobles through marriage. For the sake of beauty and status, it is definitely worth taking some risks.

Bert, who was riding a traveling horse further away, looked at Leila, who was still graceful and graceful even though she was wearing armor, obsessively.

It's a pity that Bert, who came from an ordinary wealthy businessman's family, is far from that heroic figure in terms of status and strength, but these gaps make Bert even more obsessed with longing, but what makes Bert jealous, then It's that nasty 'old' man who always hangs around Miss Leila when he has nothing to do.

"Damn it, there is no way to impress Miss Leila like this. I have to find a way, I have to find a way to make Miss Leila notice me." Burt clenched the staff in his hand, thinking hard Unfortunately, limited by his lack of experience, Burt really couldn't come up with a good idea.

"Knight Layla, there is something going on ahead." Lieutenant Loen glanced at Lawrence who was lingering, but he didn't mean to let him avoid him, but said directly to Layla: "The adventurer who explored the road reported that the information has arrived." Said demons are entrenched near the lair, but apart from a few goblins, no other enemies have been encountered."

"Huh? Is the information wrong?" Layla couldn't help showing a bit of nervousness. This is Layla's first and most important battle. If she loses, she may even return without success. Dreams are very likely to be cut off.

At that time, I am afraid that I will have to obey the arrangement of the family, marry a rich and handsome man, and complete the marriage between nobles. After that, I will only be able to eat, drink and have fun every day, and I will no longer be able to practice martial arts and take risks. 'Miserable and boring' life, Leila became nervous.

"No, the information is quite accurate. According to the investigation of the adventure team, a group of demons gathered a group of monsters to occupy this place, but it may be that the strength of that group of demons is not strong. When they heard that there was an army crusade, they abandoned their lair and fled. "Luen knew that Leila's purpose was to make military exploits.

But helplessly, this group of demons are not like demons at all, and they ran away in the face of the wind. One must know that with the arrogant nature of demons, they should fight a battle first, and then run away after losing.

"Lieutenant Nanarun, can we hurry up and catch up with those demons?" Leila was not willing to end the crusade at this point, if she went back, she would definitely be ridiculed to death.

"I can march quickly, but it's hard to catch up, and seeing the group of demons fleeing so decisively, I'm afraid even if they catch up, they can only kill some low-value goblins, and such pursuits are easy to be ambushed." Lu Lu Sergeant En shook his head, dispelling Leila's idea of ​​risky pursuit.

"Then we have to do something, Sir Loen, otherwise, wouldn't we just have an armed patrol?" Lawrence, who was silent at the side, spoke. He can be said to be the first person after Layla The two people who didn't want to withdraw at this point, Leila also looked expectantly at Luen upon hearing this.

Ruen was silent for a while, and then said: "We can temporarily station in that valley first, destroy that demon's lair, and then send all the adventurers to investigate whether the group of demons has gone far. When you are nearby, you can try to march quickly with elites and fight a short assault battle, but if the group of demons have gone far, I don’t recommend continuing to attack.”

Leila thought for a while when she heard the words, then nodded heavily: "Okay, just listen to Lieutenant Loen."
