Although he didn't know what was going on with Jonas, he had promised to return the family crest when he left, so he naturally couldn't go back on his word. Besides, this family crest would be of little use after leaving Songkani, and ordinary soldiers from other places probably wouldn't recognize it.

The nobles from other towns probably wouldn't do him a favor just for a family crest.

Finally, he handed the family crest of the Lambardia family to the gatekeeper knight at the Knights' base next to the city gate, and asked him to help take it to the Lambardia family, which was the residence of Natalia.

As for worrying about whether he would go to send him off, Livia was not worried, because he found that when he just arrived at the gate of the military camp and spoke to the knight, the leader of the knights named Alios Makurein, whom he had seen when he entered Songkani before, opened the door and walked out to look at this side.

The leader of the Knights Templar had been watching him until he had entrusted the gatekeeper in front of him. Livia had a rough guess about his strength. He believed that the other party should be able to hear everything clearly at this distance, and there should be no surprises in returning the family emblem.

After exchanging a final glance with the Knight Commander from a distance, Livia turned and walked back toward the caravan.

Watching Livia disappear at the city gate with the caravan, Alios leaned against the railing and suddenly said, "Oro, you will personally deliver the Lanbardia family emblem and inform them that I will visit in three days."

"yes."

A whispered reply came from the open door behind him.

"Huh, since the one from the Lanbardia family has successfully returned, I think he will be promoted to a higher level soon. The situation in Songkani will be reshuffled. The war on the front line has become increasingly unfavorable for such a long time, and even the number of monsters near Songkani has increased...

These are truly troubled times..." Looking up at the clouds in the sky, Alios murmured with a complicated look in his eyes.

…

After leaving Songkani for a distance, Livia rode on Carrot and let him trot. The caravan also slowly sped up. However, the speed of the carriage could not be compared with that of a single unencumbered horse, so Livia stopped the horse in front from time to time and waited for a while.

The other members of the caravan did not have any objection to him. Instead, they treated him as a scout and patrolman.

As they continued to travel while enjoying the scenery along the way, Livia and the caravan returned to the place where they were attacked by zombies before dark.

There were still ashes and traces of burning on the side of the road, but there were no fresh horse hoof prints or wheel tracks. It seemed that no one else had passed this road in the past few days except them.

Livia did find some footprints of wild animals on both sides of the road. It seemed that the flames from the burning zombie corpses had attracted a lot of creatures, but they should have gone far away in the past few days.

They didn't stop because Killian and Allison both felt that this place was a bit unlucky, so they planned to go a little further and camp on the grassland by the roadside.

After walking a little further, it was getting dark and Killian no longer wanted to move forward.

Um?

Livia was about to drive his horse back after hearing Allison's call from the caravan behind him, but he heard some noise on both sides of the road in the distance ahead.

There was a small forest on both sides of the road ahead. Although it was not big, it was big enough to hide some things inside. Livia narrowed his eyes as he looked at the forest over there.

Is there something hiding in there, trying to attack passers-by?

…

"Boss, it seems he has discovered us?"

A young man with bulging eyes and sparse eyebrows looked at the figure riding a horse on the road in the distance with a fierce look in his eyes and spoke to the burly man next to him in a hoarse and unpleasant voice.

In addition to the sturdy man called the boss, there were about twenty ferocious men holding their own weapons next to and behind him.

"Humph, how is that possible? We are at least 300 meters away from him, and there is no way he could find us with the forest covering us."

The burly man in the lead snorted coldly, denying his words.

They were a group of bandits who ambushed passing caravans in this area. They had heard that a caravan would pass through here in the past few days, so they came to ambush on this only road leading to Ravikaman from the two southern towns a few days ago. However, they did not expect that three days had passed without any sign of the caravan.

Originally they all suspected that the information they had obtained was wrong, or that they were too late. However, with his persistence, he and his brothers waited in the woods for another two or three days. When they saw that the dry food and water they brought were almost finished and he could not hold on any longer, just as it was getting dark, the sharp-eyed skinny monkey suddenly spotted a man on horseback coming over on the road in the distance. Upon closer inspection, they saw a caravan behind them.

After finally waiting, they excitedly picked up their weapons and quickly squatted in the woods beside the road to ambush.

But for some reason the caravan stopped when they still had some distance to go. Not only that, even the guy riding a horse in front stopped, so Big Eyes suspected that the other party had discovered them.

"It must be getting dark soon. They plan to stay where they are for the night."

The bandit leader thought for a moment and spoke, indeed as he had guessed, the caravan had already begun to build a simple camp beside the road.

But what made them feel a little strange was that the guy on horseback was still standing in the middle of the road, as if he was looking at them.

But none of them believed that the guy on horseback could be so far away and even spot them through the woods.

What on earth is that guy doing?

The bandits hiding in the woods thought in confusion.

…

In the middle of the road, Livia rode on a horse, quietly looking at the woods on both sides of the road ahead.

He had roughly estimated before that his sense of smell could clearly analyze and distinguish odors within three to four hundred meters. Although he could not estimate the specific range of his hearing, he could still hear movements within about two hundred meters.

So he believed what he had just heard, that there were no less than fifteen different sounds coming from the woods ahead, the sounds of weapons colliding!

“Sir Livia, what’s wrong?”

Allison, who was originally ordered by Killian to tell Livia that they planned to set up camp on the spot, just trotted over and saw Livia staring at the woods not far away, and the words he spoke turned into questions.

"There are people lying in ambush in that woods, no less than ten people."

Livia looked at the woods in the distance and said calmly that he had guessed that the people hiding in the woods were most likely bandits.

He did not feel any extraordinary fluctuations, unless the opponent's strength was far greater than his, but like the two bandit leaders he met in the Gray Demon Forest, he felt that it was impossible to be too low.

If there really were any, he would just accept it. If not, ordinary robbers, unless there were more than thirty of them, would not pose any threat to him on horseback, so he was not worried at all.

What's more, there are a dozen guards in the caravan who can support him and at least hold back the corresponding number of people.
