Big White waved his head to the countryside and motioned for Eren to follow, as if it was unwilling to expose itself under the gaze of the people of Sur. Bai's intelligence is no less than that of an adult man, and if he knows that his current appearance is seen by ordinary people, it would be strange if he didn't treat it as a dangerous species. Although until now, Alan has discovered that the creatures of this planet do not have a clear concept of dangerous species, but only classify these mutant beasts as dangerous beasts.

But if Shiro was exposed to the eyes of others, Alan couldn't guarantee that Sur City would organize a hunt for it. After all, Bai's current appearance feels very dangerous, walking beside its snake body, which has grown to six or seven meters, Alan can fully understand the pressure of an ordinary person facing it.

After swallowing his heart last time, Shiro fell into a deep sleep in the cellar. Later, Alan returned from the Asr Mountains, and the king snake had long since left. Alan thought that it was just hunting in the wild as usual, but he never thought that the white changes would be so huge. Its scales are not as smooth as they used to be, and each scale is covered with tiny, grainy bumps that look rough. When Alan touched it lightly with his hand, he could feel the white muscles tense instantly, and then slowly relaxed.

At that moment of change, Shiro's body erupted with magma-like power. That huge burst of power can allow Shiro to attack violently in an instant. As for the snake scales, they were not cold to the touch, but slightly warm. Snakes are originally cold-blooded animals, but the king snake seems to break this pattern. Eren remembers that when he brought the Twilight King Snake to the snake's nest, he had seen it adjust its temperature to incubate eggs, which shows that Shiro is now gradually possessing the ability of the King Snake.

The scales were rough, thick, and white like armor. In particular, the coronal bone on its head, which covers almost half of the head, perfectly protects the important organs of the white body. The crown of bones is connected by many fine bone fragments, and the thickness of the serrations on the edges is about two centimeters, which shows how thick and heavy this "helmet" is. If you use it to hit the enemy, you can probably use it as a siege cone.

Stopped in a wood, Shiro opened his mouth and let out a silent hiss. It didn't take long for two giant pythons, not much smaller than Bai, to emerge from the grass. Their amber eyes stared at Eren and spat out snake letters, with intense hostility. One of them even tried to get close to Eren, the thigh-thick snakes leading Alan to believe that they could stranch an adult's body with ease.

Bai opened his mouth to show his fangs, and the python was frightened and shrank back. Bai simply coiled a snake formation with Allen as the center, and the big head was on top of Allen's head. Alan couldn't cry, Bai was like a hen protecting her young son, for fear that Alan would be injured by a python.

In addition to the python, a few moments later, a venomous snake swam out of the forest for decades. They did not dare to approach the white and pythons, and were a little behind and hovered in the grass. Then there were many beasts, the most of which were strange little beasts that could not be named. They are the size of squirrels, with large heads and small bodies, and their two round eyes are very cute.

Occasionally, however, the top of their heads cracked, revealing cross-shaped mouthparts and spitting out long, thorny tongues. Eren knew that it was the mouth of the beast, and these things were like man-eating flowers that deceived their opponents with their cute appearance, and only when the target was careless because of their appearance, they would show their mouths and eat their prey in one bite.

The last to arrive were three or four wild boars, with long, curved fangs, palm-sized bone fragments on the ventral side, and a row of spikes of varying lengths on their backs, apparently of a mutant species.

Alan was amazed that the beasts and the snakes were like a white army, and there was a clear hierarchy between them. Since Bai is the king snake, in this special army, snakes have the highest status, and they are also closest to Bai. As for the other beasts, they were to be subordinated to the serpents, and among the beasts, the status of those thorn-armored boars was honored. Even the two fierce beasts that looked like leopards and tigers shrank behind the wild boars.

Bai lowered his head, and his two eyes showed a smug look. It tilted its head, as if waiting for Alan's appreciation. Alan was angry and funny, touched its big head and said, "Good guy, you have also developed your own power now?" ”

Shiro nodded, opened his mouth to spit out the letter, and licked Allen's cheek. Alan patted it on the head and said, "I'm going to leave for a while, and it's not convenient for you to haunt around Sur City now, so don't go back for the time being." When I get back, I'll figure out how to get you and Sur on peace. ”

"Try to keep your men out of the city, and take care of yourself while I'm away."

Bai straightened up, shook his big head, and looked like he didn't care. It's like a child who has just grown up, full of confidence in himself, and even a little disgusted with Allen, the "parent", a little verbose.

Alan and it already have a heart-to-heart relationship, and they can't help but laugh. He beckoned, Shiro stuck his head over, and Eren hugged it. Shiro closed her eyes and seemed to enjoy the hug.

"I'm going back, I'll come back to see you later. Well done, white. ”

After a few moments, Eren let go of it and left the woods. When Bai came to the edge of the forest, he didn't follow him again, but just looked at Alan from a distance. Alan looked back, and the beasts behind the king snake followed suit, which made him very relieved that Shiro would not be lonely on this planet anymore.

Two days later, the prepared caravan set off in the square in front of the city lord's mansion. The caravan consisted of more than a dozen horse-drawn wagons, carrying freshly produced fabrics of the finest quality. The accompanying merchant was Sean, as well as three other workshop owners and their men. The escort is in charge of Allen, Willik, Adele, and Regess, in addition to the three elites, as well as the Mountain King's troops of as many as thirty people.

There were even more people to see them off, and the new city lord Edward and his wife Nilou were all on the sidelines at the same time, as were other city officials, members of the Chamber of Commerce, and ordinary citizens. After all, Alan's trip symbolized the hope of the rise of Sur City, and no one did not pray sincerely for this caravan, praying that they would return safely and bring a good harvest to the city.

The four of them rode on their horses, and their horses were covered in light armor. The four sets of warhorse light armor were found in the Baron of York's treasury and were from the interior of the Empire and were one of Baron York's favorite collections. I have to admit that after draping them, the war horse looks extremely superb, but the meaning of the decoration is far greater than the actual use.

Although Eren preferred to exchange the four sets for money, Edward insisted that he use them on his horse and that he should take a turn in front of the eyes of the citizens, in order to raise the image of Allen, a new knight, in their minds. It seems that Edward, who has been a superstar, is much better at image packaging than Allen.

Sure enough, with the background of war horses and gorgeous harnesses, the images of Allen and the others will appear taller in the eyes of the citizens. Especially the knight's badge that Allen wore on his chest, which reflected the morning light and dazzled people's eyes. When people saw him, they only knew how to shout loudly, and even some girls kept throwing fragrant kisses at Alan, which made Adele in the back eager to shoot these.

Leaving the city of Sur, the world fell silent. The yellow-brown earth began to be the only theme, and towns were the most basic settlement units on a planet where transportation was not yet well developed. And between these units, there is often a desolate land, in this world, in this era, people are not close enough, which gives the earth more gray areas.

The gray area is filled with words like violence, gangsterism and chaos.

In the vast empire of Balgaon, only the center of the empire can be called prosperous. As a result, the vastness of the borders and the lack of close ties between them led to the wars of the imperial princes for hundreds of years. The Imperial Court controlled the most powerful dukes, and those Grand Dukes also relied on the Imperial Family to consolidate their power, and the two were like holly trees and ivy trees, symbiotic and co-prosperous, thus framing and extending the power at the center of the empire.

Away from this center, war became a subject of frequent discussion and action among the nobility. There are no permanent friends, and there are no permanent enemies, and this sentence aptly reflects the normality among the middle and lower class nobles of the Bailegon Empire.

In this normal state of war, bandits, thugs, and pirates are the products of this era. The city of Sur is located on the border of the Empire, and the thugs in the Bloodrock Wasteland are far from as numerous as Cheng Dù. However, there are also one or two hundred robbers who roam this wasteland all year round, looting passing merchants. The only thing they didn't dare to move was the army of Storm City, and the rest of the caravans didn't let them take it seriously.

Otherwise, Sur would not have had to sell the fabrics produced to Storm City at a low price all year round, as Sur itself did not have a strong enough army to escort the caravans. Maybe it was an accident this year, thought Sean, who was sitting in the carriage, and he looked out the window to see Alan on horseback in front of him, his silver hair shining like a flame in the sun.

The first day's journey was uneventful, and the next day the sun rose and the caravan set out again, stopping at a chasm. The Wind Erosion Rift was the gateway to the Bloodrock Wastelands, and on horseback, Alan saw a small stronghold at the entrance to the rift. Barricades were set up at the entrance to intercept people from passing by. Behind the barricades were two wooden houses, and there were even two war horses tethered to them.

Under the hallway of the house, there were soldiers napping, and the gun/gun in the corridor fence was clearly pointed at the road outside the entrance. Coupled with the fact that the cabin has the flag of Storm City on it, there is no doubt that this stronghold belongs to Storm City.

Alan smiled and said to Willik next to him, "It seems that we have met an official bandit." ”

Obviously, Storm City's checkpoints on this kind of traffic artery will definitely not be as simple as protecting civilians. Charging cards within a territory is often one of the most direct sources of income for lieges. R1058
