Knight Lund stood on the ramparts, his piercing gaze sweeping over the ranks that had entered the city from the national road ahead.

He wears a pair of black 'goggles' that cover almost half of his face, and although he was a little unaccustomed to it at first, he is now proficient in marking suspicious characters.

All the functions of this pair of glasses are only 'auxiliary functions', which can improve his combat and survivability on the basis of the original ones, such as real-time measurement of wind speed, object detection, life markers and other functions have brought him a huge increase.

He was already a marksman himself, and he was even more like a god when he got this pair of glasses.

He doesn't rely on these accessibility features, but they do help him a lot.

It is said that the cost of these glasses is very expensive, and with the current technology, it cannot be popularized in the army, otherwise, the combat effectiveness of their army can be greatly improved.

"Count the third team, those mercenaries are a little weird, test it. The Lund Knight pressed the button on the left side of the headset, and the sound was transformed into a mana wave of a specific frequency after being converted into runes, radiating to the surroundings.

Only certain devices were able to receive mana waves of this frequency, and in this vicinity, only the city guards wore them.

After the transformation of the headset hidden under the helmet, the Lund Knight's order reached everyone's ears with unmistakable accuracy, and the city guards exchanged glances and continued their work.

This is a by-product of the development of the 'Internet', although it seems to be a chicken rib, but the headphones worn by the Lund Knight assume the function of a 'signal station', able to receive and transmit signals around them, the only drawback is that they cannot have one-on-one conversations, and can only use the same public channel.

But this is already an epoch-making piece of equipment for the current era, and commanders can even make many new tactical arrangements around this equipment.

By the time the first two teams entered the city one after another, the city guards were a little more relaxed, and after a morning's work, many of them would let their guard down when the shift was approaching, and this was the best time for outsiders to infiltrate the Principality of Sorrowful Wind.

Instead of choosing to enter from other relatively remote roads, they chose to enter from the direction where the only national road was built, and I have to say that if it weren't for this pair of glasses, maybe they would have really let that team go.

Hearing the report of 'no obvious anomalies' coming from the headset, the Lund Knight grabbed the powerful bow he had in his hand and prepared for battle.

This is where the maid master defeated the undead monarch who carried a bone dragon, because he was worried that there were still undead spirits in the vicinity, so when it was impossible to avoid passing through here, the caravan would hire some mercenaries or bring some adventurers along the way.

On the opposite side of this road is the Kingdom of Kurt.

Due to the fact that there have been too many troubles in the kingdom opposite in recent days, they have to be vigilant - this is an explanation to the low-level soldiers, in fact, Knight Lund knows very well that there is a 'primordial devil' born there, and the thirteen layers of hell may try to promote the birth of another primordial devil.

They are not wary of the Kurt Kingdom, but of the demonic forces that may exist within the borders of the Kurt Kingdom.

Under the city gate, the city guards looked at the mercenaries with calm faces, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Are they all fresh faces, the first time you came?"

"Originally, I was mixed on the other side, but now I don't know what's going on, there are more and more monsters and monsters, and it's not easy to get mixed up......" The strong man who looked like a mercenary leader leaned on the carriage and sighed, "Did you hear about the 'Demon Tide' coming on the way?"

Inspections may be quick elsewhere, but in border forts, the city guards are not so fast.

The merchants who often run between the two countries know it, so they don't show any impatience, otherwise maybe the city guards might not give them the quality inspection records in a fit of anger, and they won't just run for nothing?

Even stuffing money is useless, the discipline of these city guards can be said to be unique, and stuffing money will make them wonder if the convoy is carrying something unsightly, so they will check more carefully.

Because they are bored, often at this time, the city guards will chat with the people in the team.

It may be a distraction, it may be that they are wary of something, or they are trying to find out the news, anyway, at such times, the city guards will find the people in the caravan to chat, so as to pass the time of boredom.

"Hey, why don't you know! That's the first time our people noticed it, and now we still hire someone to spread the word about it?" The city guard couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he said this, "The maid of our family is different from those nobles, and the nobles will definitely not let us know about this kind of thing, and it is often too late for us to know, but the maid is different, she only has one life for us." The untouched people are very concerned, and if there is anything important, it will be published in the newspaper as soon as possible, and when we rest in the evening, we will know what is going to happen!"

At this time, the pride was already overflowing, and the mercenary leader looked left and right, and found that the other city guards also straightened their waists, full of spirit, and looked proud.

"That's amazing...... the mercenary leader looked shocked, and then he asked, "By the way, what is that 'newspaper' you are talking about?"

"You don't know that?" the city guard glanced at the mercenary leader, there was no contempt in his eyes, only pity.

Seeing the mercenary leader nodding, the city guard shook his head and sighed: "'Newspaper', it is used to publish news, no matter what new news, it will be published in the newspaper, now we have several newspapers in the principality, but the most famous is the 'Principality Times', all the big news will be published there, and you only need to pay a few hundred 'Tia' subscription fees every month, and you can see a new newspaper every day." ”

The more the mercenary leader listened, the more puzzled he became, "Wait, you said you read the newspaper...... Are you literate? So what are you doing as a city guard?"

Probably unexpectedly, even a mercenary leader was lonely and unheard of this level, and the city guard sighed again, "It's not just me, everyone here is literate, except for the elderly in their fifties and children under the age of three, almost everyone is literate. ”

The mercenary leader's eyes were glazed, as if it was difficult to accept such a fact, but at this moment, the city guard who had walked into the carriage to check the goods jumped down from the carriage, "After the inspection, nothing was found." ”

"Greon, open the quality inspection order!" The city guard turned his head and shouted back, then took out a badge from his pocket, looked up and smiled apologetically at those mercenaries, "I'm sorry, because of the arrival of the demon tide, there may be many cultists who want to take the opportunity to make trouble, so there are new regulations on it, please stand up, this is a prop used to test whether you have contact with evil gods, demons, devils, and other dirty things......"

Before he could finish speaking, several mercenaries turned around and ran, including the mercenary leader.

Obviously, they weren't really that lonely, and they knew that each of the border fortresses of the Principality of Sorrow was guarded by a few transcendent knights, so they didn't choose to break in, but ran away.

However, their choice was wrong from the start.

- From the time they tried to infiltrate the Duchy of Sorrowful Winds, their lives had been buried by themselves, and it was they who pushed themselves into the abyss of death!

Several arrows flew out of the city walls, and before people could react to what was happening, the arrows had already split in half in the air, with a rope attached to them, and the fleeing mercenaries were firmly tied, and none of them even managed to escape.
