The ground was shaking slightly.

A cavalry team of hundreds of people rushed past Qin Ran and the other two at a glance.

The direction of the cavalry advancing informed Qin Ran and their destination: Tita Town.

"It should be Sgernai's reinforcements"

"Why are their reactions so fast?"

Bosco, who was climbing on the hill, whispered in confusion.

"As you said, Ms. Jenny James's power is much larger than we thought. Even in Tita Town, she might have her eyeliner!"

Qin Ran was not surprised at all.

After knowing who the enemy was, he had already made sufficient preparations.

This was especially true after asking Bosico in detail about the other party's life.

Jane James, James VIII's elder sister.

A person who lost his throne because of the decision of the previous king but was still unwilling to be lonely.

The other party personally established no less than ten secret organizations, and his subordinates were spread all over the corners of the capital, including those around James VIII, and there were also his secret sons.

As for the open?

According to Bosco, at least the Secretary of Military Affairs who had pursued Jane James when he was young was the most staunch supporter of that lady.

More than 60% of the army in the entire kingdom are related to the Minister of Military Affairs.

If some old nobles had not stood firmly by James VIII, His Majesty the King in Bosico's mouth had not ascended the throne, it would be time for him to replace him.

But even so, that James VIII was not doing well.

Not only can he not protect Mary's mother, but he also cannot protect himself.

Qin Ran asked in detail about the monster attacks James VIII encountered during winter hunting.

Only two words can be used to overview: coincidence.

But it was really a coincidence, and it seemed like someone had arranged it in advance.

In fact, just before James VIII was injured and unconscious, Jane James had completely controlled everything in the palace.

As for why not just make it James VIII and ascend the throne by himself?

It's not about siblings.

It's just because James VIII also has a wizard who is known as Warren's strongest.

The other party's persistence allowed James VIII to live for a longer time.

But, this is the limit.

The other party, who had not been released for a long time, did not stop it in the name of Jane James' infiltration of the palace, the capital, and even the entire Warren Kingdom.

Qin Ran is now quite sure that the assassin he met at Swoot Castle that night was Jenny James's man.

Only in this way can everything in front of you have a reasonable explanation.

The assassin witnessed the bodies of Sgnay and others and sent back the news.

Then, Jane James sent reinforcements.

The hundreds of knights in front of him were only a small part of the reinforcements.

The real big force is still behind!

"Trouble!"

"We must get to Thunder Fortress as soon as possible!"

"Only when we get there, we can wait for the only assistance!"

Bosico said with a serious expression.

"Thunder Fortress?"

Qin Ran asked.

"That's the trump card left to me by Your Majesty!"

Bosico said this, but did not reveal what it was.

Qin Ran didn't ask.

He looked at Mary.

“Are you ready?”

"There will inevitably be countless enemies ahead of us."

"If you're leaving, this is the last chance!"

Qin Ran said.

"You said you want to send me to the royal capital!"

The girl emphasized, with a firm look on her face.

"So"

"Set off!"

Qin Ran jumped on a war horse and, under the guidance of Bosico, chose to walk away from the avenue and extremely remote place.

Even, in order to avoid the possible pursuits, they began to lie down at night.

However, even so, the battle still inevitably occurs.

The lady Jenny James was even more powerful than Qin Ran imagined. She sent pursuers again and again, and chased them with extremely accurate accuracy, blocking Qin Ran and his group of three.

But the ultimate effect is to add a few low-level magical equipment to Qin Ran as trophy.

Time passes day by day.

Jane James's pursuers did not appear again on the tenth day.

But neither Qin Ran nor Mary nor Bosico was delighted.

They knew very well that the other party who would not give up must be preparing.

Next time the pursuers appear

It is when the other party raises the trump card.

But this did not stop Qin Ran and his team from moving forward.

When the time came to the end of the second week and the third week began, Qin Ran and his party arrived in a mountain nest not far from Thunder Fortress.

The wind at night is isolated by the ridge.

The tired Mary leaned against the warm bonfire with her long sword in her arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Qin Ran was busy in front of the bonfire.

After the water in the pot boils, wild vegetables and meat pieces are put into it one by one.

Wild vegetables come from the collection on the road, and the meat pieces come from several hares. The hares are still in autumn. They are very fat and are a good choice whether they are roasted or cooked.

However, considering the coldness after nightfall, cooking soup became the first choice.

An hour later, when Qin Ran uncovered the lid of the pot and picked up a wooden spoon to stir the almost milky white soup in the pot, the huge pieces of meat rolled.

With unparalleled cooking skills, you can easily control the dishes in front of you.

Even though there were not enough seasonings, after Qin Ran specially selected wild vegetables to remove the fishy smell and enhance the umami flavor, the soup in front of him immediately exuded an attractive fragrance.

Suddenly, due to fatigue, Mary, who had already fallen asleep, woke up.

When Qin Ran took out the dry bread he carried with him, the girl habitually took out her bowl.

If there is anything else she is looking forward to along the way, the food made by Qin Ran is definitely ranked first.

The pursuers appeared again and again behind him.

Levels after level ahead.

It seemed like the journey that had no end was really a torment for Mary.

But under such torture, Mary's growth surprised Qin Ran.

From holding the sword of thorns with difficulty to carrying it on your body without any obstacles, it only took two weeks to do it.

"I had breakfast and had a big fight at dawn!"

After breaking the strong dry bread that could be used as a stick, Qin Ran handed it to Mary. He watched the other party sank the bread into a bowl full of soup and said.

Qin Ran planned to completely block the Thunder Fortress to Leuldri at dawn.

"Um!"

Mary nodded.
