"I guess it's another small-town power. It seems Lord Eric is worried that my achievements in Sapphire Territory are not enough, so he has specially arranged some other achievements for me."
Lord Eric has put so much effort into this. I must work hard and not let his efforts go to waste.'
Edward was still thinking, but his deputy beside him reminded him:
"Lord Edward, something's wrong? This territory is a little too quiet..."
The deputy's words made the Red Dragon Cavalry present more vigilant.
The knights gripped their spears tighter, their sharp eyes constantly searching around, trying to find hidden threats in those places that they thought were unreasonable.
Edward also raised his fist with one hand at this time, and everyone stopped their horses. The horses were specially bred, and they were extremely quiet at this time, without making any sound.
The entire Red Dragon Cavalry team fell silent.
Edward looked around. Indeed, if it was any other territory, even if it was deserted, there should be some insects chirping and animals running around. Edward also noticed that there was not a single bird flying in the sky of the Sapphire Territory.
The entire Sapphire Territory is very strange.
"Sith, send out a reconnaissance team to see what's going on ahead, and also to see if there's anyone around. I feel like the entire Sapphire Territory is a bit too weird right now."
Deputy Sith took the order and left, and soon a team of ten people broke away from the army and rode out.
"Everyone else, stay alert and rest where you are!"
After Edward gave the order, he relaxed a little. He was very sure that there was no danger around. However, for some reason, this territory was not a wasteland with vegetation, but it felt very desolate and there was no human habitation at all.
Deputy Sis rode his horse to Edward's side.
"Lord Edward, I think this mission may not be as simple as it seems."
Hearing what Deputy Sith said, Edward nodded, but he patted Deputy Sith on the shoulder and encouraged him:
"What's wrong? Are you scared? The Red Dragon Cavalry's battle formation can withstand even a sixth-level enemy, so don't worry, kid. Now we just need to wait for the intelligence from the scout team."
Deputy Sith nodded, but for some reason Edward's words did not reduce the uneasy feeling in his heart.
Da da da da!
Soon the sound of horse hooves was heard, and both Edward and Sith noticed that the scout team had returned.
"Look at what I said, kid. You're just scaring yourself. So, is there any problem? The scout team has already returned."
Edward rode forward with a smile and asked:
"How is it, did you find out what happened?"
The leader of the scout team looked a little unhappy and remained silent.
Edward was still immersed in the cheerful atmosphere with his deputy Sith, but because the scout team had not answered his questions, he realized that something was wrong.
"Tell me what you found."
Edward also became extremely serious at this time.
The scout team leader took a deep breath and said:
"Lord Edward, we found a village ahead, but strangely, there's no one in this village, and some of the houses haven't been inhabited for a long time. But we're sure that the residents of this village haven't moved away, at least some of their daily necessities are still there.
There were no signs of fighting. They... they... they seemed to have disappeared out of thin air..."
