In the blink of an eye, the clean wilderness outpost was stained with blood, the air thick with a scent of carnage.
"Check all the bodies, leave no survivors."
Coming down from the mountain, the team was led by a young boy.
After instructing his subordinates to clean the battlefield, he walked towards the middle-aged man expressionlessly,
"I am the captain of the Black Pine Ridge Knight Squad, Sao Gray Stone."
The boy's Imperial speech was correct and clear, but extremely mechanical, making it somewhat awkward to hear.
"It seems you are the team we're supposed to meet."
Sao looked at the convoy, "Where is our mission target, Amina and her family?"
The middle-aged man didn't dwell on the boy's accent and answered directly, "I am a subordinate of Baron Halon, Engle, Lady Amina and her family are in the carriage."
"My mission is to escort them safely out of White Rock Canyon and then return to Border City via the Black Pine Ridge trade route."
