After nearly ten days of long journey.

Reiner finally led the caravan out of the forest.

When Reiner saw the rubble wall in the distance, the first thing he did was to tuck his clothes tightly.

The cold air that was supposed to continue moving south was blocked by the big forest behind it. It was almost spring in Melod, but the snow in Cannon had not yet begun to melt.

The beast-eared girls were also shivering from the cold, and they all huddled around Peggy, who could use fire magic, to warm themselves by the fire.

Especially Roxanne, she looked so motionless that she looked like she was about to hibernate.

"Hiss, this place is so cold! It's completely different from Melode!" The caravan boss's teeth were chattering.

Reiner nodded and pointed to the city not far away and said, "That's Cannon. Let's say goodbye outside the city. I hope you can make a lot of money."

He looked at Cannon twice more, feeling that after not seeing him for a month, the city seemed to have become more dilapidated, and many workers were building a rubble wall.

"Hoohoo, thank you Lord Reiner, this is the reward." The caravan boss rubbed his hands, then handed over two Diast gold coins, and then led the caravan to continue moving towards the city.

Watching the caravan go by, Reiner pondered for a moment before turning back to Junice and saying, "Dear, you and the demihumans should rent a house nearby and settle down for the time being. I need to go to the forest north of the city first to look for Fiona. I'm sure a lot has happened to them in the past month or so."

Junice nodded: "Okay, come back early."

"Martina, you follow Junice into town. Nora and Paige, you come with me."

"No! Why don't you take me with you?" Martina widened her eyes.

"Junis is a girl, and you're a strong female! Women have a relatively low social status in Barnet, so it's not safe for her to be with so many demihumans. I feel more at ease with you keeping things under control..."

In short, this is an extremely difficult task, but since you are the woman I value most, I can only entrust this task to you."

Martina scratched her head, the corners of her mouth curled up wildly: "I really can't do anything about you! Sometimes being too strong can also be a nuisance, hahahahahaha...

Nora, keep a close eye on Reiner and don't let him mess around, okay?"

Nora raised an eyebrow and gently took Reiner's hand: "You don't need to tell me about this kind of thing. Go and do your thing."

Seeing the crowd split into two groups, Aliana followed Reiner and said, "You're going on another adventure? You're not taking me with you!"

Reiner patted his head and said slowly, "If you want to follow, then follow. If you feel the weather is cold, you can go back and rest."

Aliana put her hands on her hips and said seriously, "Then I'll definitely follow you! This little bit of cold won't stop me from adventuring!"

While they were talking, Reiner had already arrived at the forest entrance.

Nora pricked up her ears and listened for a few seconds before speaking: "There are three orcs in the bushes."

As soon as she finished speaking, a green-skinned orc poked his head out: "You must be Lord Reiner! I finally waited for you to come back!"

Peggy saw the orc suddenly appear and hid behind Reiner.

(Is this an orc? It's just as ugly as described in the book, like a monster.)

Nora and Aliana were no longer surprised by this.

"What happened during the month I was away?"

"So many things happened that we can't explain clearly. We have gone to find the chief, and she will explain it to you in detail." The orc seemed to sense Peggy's fear and took a few steps back.

"Chief?"

"Well, several tribes have elected Lady Fiona, the former priestess and chief, as the chief of the alliance."
