The Gap Rift has now officially become a forbidden place in the Panda Territory.

Of course, this place has become an existence similar to Sean's confinement.

Even if William sent Rena and Clov to the Wild Lands, and even a secret force set off in the same way, the defense capacity here in the Gap Rift has not decreased but increased. With the return of Alfred and the arrival of a new batch of slaves, the size of Steel Wings now stands at 10,000 - 2,000 of whom were brought to Date by Anno, and the other 8,000 are still in the recruit stage and undergoing rigorous training.

Of course, it was not possible without actual combat, so Alfred divided the 8,000 men into eight units and patrolled between the Panda Territory and the Gap Rift. Any suspicious target was allowed to be attacked before reporting, and as a result, there was a large-scale clash with a large number of slave catchers who were trying to smuggle in. However, with the standard configuration of steel wings, the average slave catcher team could not fight against an army of 1,000 people, so the result was naturally conceivable.

It's just that of course, there are some relatively strong existences in this slave hunting team, and at this time, it is often necessary for Alfred to lead another 3,000 people to shoot.

This is the rearest line of defense stationed in the Gap Rift, and it is also the most terrifying and combat-ready line.

If there is a third fourth-level army in Sean's territory that is most likely to appear, then it must be this army.

Commanded by Alfred himself, the Thunder Lion is a melee force that combines light and heavy infantry. The combat effectiveness of this army is extremely strong, there are less than five hundred humans in it, and the other two thousand five hundred people are half-orcs, orcs, barbarians, etc., and the only long-range means of attack are throwing axes and javelins, but because of the limited number, the long-range combat endurance is naturally extremely insufficient. This can be considered the only weakness of this force.

It was only because there were heavy infantry, and heavy infantry with shock shields, that this force was not at all afraid of cavalry charges, nor of any long-range strikes.

In the face of this terrible line of defense, in the past three or four months, not a single slave hunter has managed to enter the Gorge Rift, let alone enter the wilderness.

But on this day, at the exit from the Gap Rift to the Savage Lands, a force appeared.

The leader was a woman with short light brown hair. Slightly curled at the ends.

She was wearing a special hooded cloak that was necessary to enter the Savage Lands, so it was impossible to tell what she was wearing under the cloak, nor what the woman's figure was. It's just that at this moment, she has already lifted her hood, revealing a rather delicate face. Although her facial features are not so beautiful that they are unforgettable, she has an extremely mature and dignified charm.

It's just that. The woman's demeanor and movements at this moment. But it is completely inconsistent with the dignified and atmospheric temperament on her body.

I saw that the woman took a deep breath, and then exhaled a white breath that seemed to be turbid, and the expression on her face was extremely excited and flying. looks like a passionate and naughty girl, and more than like that dignified and atmospheric daughter.

In the next second, the woman let out an excited roar: "Savage Land, I'm back." ”

Her voice was loud and tinged with a peculiar tone. It seemed that in this vast and wild land, it could be transmitted several kilometers away, and the ground that was relatively close to her was even more shaken by the sand and stones, like a sonic attack. Followed by. I saw that this woman suddenly stretched out her hand and lifted it, and carried a war halberd that looked bigger and longer than her whole person on her shoulder, and at this moment, it seemed that even the ground where she was standing sank slightly, which showed how heavy this war halberd was!

But the terrible thing is that this woman doesn't seem to care at all, or doesn't feel the weight of this halberd at all.

Vivian. Michelle.

The thundering Valkyrie, Asuna. One of the two most powerful forces under the command of G. Evans, also known as the "Halberd of Thunder".

Originally, under the command of Asuna, Vivien's personal strength could only rank second, after all, Elizabeth was a mage with a bloodline, and her thunder magic was an amazing feat of destroying three thousand heavy horses with a single blow, and because of this, it was extremely famous in the entire Dabion Kingdom, and even the entire Southern Continent. Vivien, on the other hand, did not have too amazing feats, but was active in the Duchy of Ryan and the Kingdom of Dabion as a person who was a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts and was one of the few people who could reach a high level.

But since Vivien fought in the Wild Lands for a while, and returned as the last golden powerhouse, she has become the strongest combat force under Asuna's command in one fell swoop.

Of course, there are not many people who know that Vivian is already a high-ranking golden powerhouse now.

Asuna and the others knew it to themselves, followed by Sean and the few people who saw Vivien that night. It's just that I don't know what kind of purpose Lu Dao came for, and those people didn't publicize Vivien's strength, so many people's assessment of Asuna's strength is naturally not accurate.

This time, Asuna sent Vivien into the Savage Lands, in addition to the intention of rescuing Sean, of course, she also had the intention of hiding Vivian. For this, Vivian understands very well, after all, the less people know the true strength and hole cards of Asuna, then it is naturally extremely advantageous for Asuna, if anyone knows that there is a high-ranking golden powerhouse under Asuna's command, then the assassination of Asuna in the future will inevitably be upgraded to a level again, which is not a good thing.

So on the one hand, he can rescue Sean, and on the other hand, he can become Asuna's hole card, and Vivien is naturally very interested in this kind of action.

And since Vivien has already appeared here in the Wild Lands, the origin of the army behind him is naturally undoubted.

Asuna's elite troops, the Thundering Edge.

As the same fourth-level army, the number of Thundering Blades is as high as 10,000, which is not a number that the current two fourth-level armies under Sean can match. It is important to know that with the expansion of the size of the army, the strength of the troops will naturally gradually decline, so it is certainly not impossible to change from aces to elites, from elites to ordinary, and even from ordinary to recruits.

This is also the reason why William did not immediately send eight thousand steel winged recruits to Anno.

On the one hand, Anno can't command so many people, and on the other hand, if the eight thousand recruits of Steel Wings pass. On the contrary, it will cause a drag on Anno, so it is better to let Alfred take it for a while. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the expansion of the Cecilia Guards Regiment to 1,000 people is already the limit, if it is not impossible to expand further, but it will change from a fourth-level elite to a third-level ordinary, and in the same way, if William allows Rena to expand the first cavalry unit under his command, it will definitely be strictly controlled in terms of numbers, and maybe even the manpower will be screened.

There is no other reason. Rena is a subordinate loyal to Sean, and the fourth-level army she brought out is also a unit loyal to Sean. Therefore, in this regard, it is normal for William and Sean to devote more energy to Rena's cavalry force. After all, there is a huge difference between an army that is truly loyal to itself and obeys its orders and Clov's Cecilia Guard.

At least William believed that this time it wasn't for Cecilia being by Sean's side too. He wanted to get Clov out of the way.

So what is the combat power of the Thundering Edge, a fourth-level elite army with a scale of 10,000 people. I can also know it with my toes, not to mention that the commander in command is still Vivien, who has the upper golden strength, which is better than Rena and Clov. However, it can also be seen from this that Rena and her light cavalry troops are naturally stronger than Clov's Cecilia Guards, because Rena is the lower gold, and Clov is only the upper silver.

It's just that what Asuna and Elizabeth and Simi didn't expect was this. In the plan to secretly ask Vivien to lead people to the wilderness to rescue Sean, Asuna emphasized the word "secret", but Vivien still pulled out five thousand Thunderblade soldiers in one go.

Five thousand soldiers!

This force, combined with Vivien's personal strength, is more than enough to sweep through the entire Rift Valley. And the scale of five thousand people. It's not the level of petty fighting, even in the wilderness, it's a large group of black oppression, as long as it's not a fool, you can find this army from afar, and what kind of secrets are there. Of course, if these soldiers were not allowed to take off their hoods and cloaks, it would be difficult for anyone to recognize this unit as Asuna's famous Thundering Edge.

After all, it is not uncommon for troops to use Changge as weapons.

But five thousand soldiers are indeed quite large anyway, and this is definitely not a force to be reckoned with, especially since the commander is still Vivien.

It is believed that in less than a day, the eagle will receive the message, and the next day at the latest, the wolf will receive the eagle's warning.

But at this moment, Vivien suddenly showed a charming smile, and then looked not far ahead, where a person was stepping forward.

He was wearing a light dress, which had no protective power, just the most common evening dress for aristocratic dinners, but the color was white, and with this person's handsome appearance and blonde hair, the whole person naturally looked very attractive. But these are not the reasons that attract Vivian, what really attracts Vivian is his every move when he walks, the extremely rhythmic aura and the powerful coercion exuded from his body make Vivian know that this person's strength is extremely strong.

The next sanctuary!

"Miss Vivien, I've been waiting here for a long time." The middle-aged man laughed politely.

"Oh?" Vivien raised an eyebrow, "It's been a long time?" ”

"Yes, I've been here to wait for you since you left Mordeg a month ago, when you left Mordegling." The middle-aged man still maintained his elegance, but he took down the stabbing sword he was holding in his hand, because he saw Vivian take down the halberd on his shoulder, but he didn't panic in the slightest, although Vivian was a high-ranking golden powerhouse that was a little unexpected to him, but it was not difficult to defeat or even kill her with the strength of his lower-ranking holy domain.

As for the army behind Vivien, the middle-aged man completely ignored it, no matter how many ordinary troops there were, they would never be the opponent of the powerhouses of the Holy Domain. Even at such a large number, he had the confidence to kill Vivien and leave calmly.

"Really? So what's the matter with you? Vivien tilted her head to look at the other and smiled, a smile filled with an indescribable charm.

"I am the family knight of the Nugus family, and this time I am here to make a proposal to you on the orders of the third young master." The middle-aged man continued.

"What proposal?"

"My young master hopes that Your Excellency, and the Valkyrie behind you, will not interfere in the matter between him and Sir Sean this time." The middle-aged man continued, "If Marquis Tonis agrees, you will gain the friendship of my young master. …… Of course, there is also a reparation, one more than enough to compensate for the loss of a pioneer knight to the Marquis of Tonys, such as the permanent ownership of the Dai and Kiraf realms, as well as a trade route with an annual profit of less than 300,000 gold coins. ”

"Oh, that's a lot of money." Vivien nodded, still smiling, "What if I don't agree?" ”

"Then all I can say is sorry." The middle-aged man still maintained an elegant smile, but he pulled out the stabbing sword in his hand, and the momentum of the whole person climbed to the peak at this moment, and in the blink of an eye, the wind here at the exit of the Gap Rift became even more frenzied.

But the next moment, the middle-aged man's expression changed suddenly.

Because he saw that the soldiers behind Vivian suddenly put on a battle formation, and the momentum and coercion that erupted from the thick eruption were not under him, and even faintly made him feel threatened. Soon, in the wind of the wind, he could see the clothes of the soldiers beneath their hoods and cloaks, and his face immediately became unnatural.

"Thunder...... Thundering Edge! The elegant image of the middle-aged man was gone, "You guys are crazy! (To be continued......)
