“What’s going on? How much did they drink last night that they’re still not changing shifts this late?”
A middle-aged man grumbled, kicking the fence in front of him open with a disgusted look on his face.
Walking into the town guard’s base, the man’s brows furrowed instantly.
He found something unusual in the air as he took a sniff.
“Is this… the smell of fresh blood?”
It’s not an unfamiliar smell to him, but the sudden scent of blood caused the man’s expression to drastically change.
The man quickly ran towards the tent in the base, with the scent of blood increasing in intensity the closer he got to it.
The next moment, his hand gripped the hilt of his long sword, forcibly flinging the tent’s curtain open.
But what he saw inside left him speechless.
The smell of blood was overwhelmingly strong, with the entire tent soaked in it. More than a dozen lifeless bodies sprawled on the ground, each with a huge gash across their throats.
“What…”
Meanwhile, out in the wilderness.
Milton Cheney was riding on a Yellow Fiery Horse through the wilderness, closely followed by Arthur, who was also on horseback.
It was indeed Milton Cheney and Arthur who had already left Black River City.
It’s ridiculous how troublesome the entry procedures into Black River City were, but not a single procedure was needed when leaving.
The town guards at the city gate didn’t even spare them a glance.
After assassinating the town guards, Milton intended to break through the city gate with Arthur. After all, the town guards would not likely stop him, who is now a Grand Knight.
What surprised him, however, was that no one discovered the murdered men even by dawn, and they easily rode out of the city gate without any hindrance. “According to the map, there’s approximately a thousand miles between Black River City and Serpent Head City. If we ride, we can reach there at the latest by tomorrow.”
The surroundings quickly receded as Milton muttered to himself.
In reality, if it weren’t for considering Arthur’s feelings, Milton could have even arrived at Serpent Head City by tonight just by himself.
However, since he had promised Arthur that he would take him to Serpent Head City, Milton naturally would not back out. As it happens, Serpent Head City was also on his planned route.
Now, Milton understood why he was intercepted by the bandits that day.
While he had initially joked that it’s because he was the protagonist, the actual reason wasn’t as humorous.
It wasn’t occasional for bandits to rob and kill in Blackwater Territory.
The deeper you get into Blackwater Territory, the more bandits there are—in fact, their numbers seem to increase.
Within several hours of leaving Black River City, Milton and Arthur had already encountered two waves of bandits.
Of course, not a single bandit from those groups survived. Those who intended to attack Milton were simply unlucky.
Arthur now only looked at Milton with a sense of awe in his eyes. After all, he’d seen Milton’s true strength (or so he thought), and he knew he’d hit the jackpot.
The reason why he didn’t dare to leave Black River City alone was that he was too weak. He was so weak that anyone in the wilderness could end his life.
“Again?”
Seeing several figures appear on the necessary path just one hundred meters away from them, Milton could only sigh in resignation.
Just how many people are there interested in dying?
He did not show any intention of stopping his Yellow Fiery Horse, lightly swaying the reins as he continued.
Without any effort, he drawn a longbow from his back, and took several arrows from the quiver hanging on the side of the horse.
The moment Milton Cheney, atop his horse pulled the bowstring to its limit, creating a shrill sound.
The next moment, three arrows turned into three silver lights, shooting towards the people who were blocking the path hundred meters away.
The speed of Milton Cheney’s arrows had been so swift that the men blocking his way didn’t even know they should dodge, and thus remained stationary as if they hadn’t processed the action.
Less than a second later, three of the men’s throats were penetrated by sharp arrows.
However, Milton did not lower his longbow but instinctively pulled out several more arrows from his quiver.
With four more flashes of silver light, the remaining four men fell lifeless to the ground.
The Yellow Fiery Horse stepping on the corpses did not bother Milton, who didn’t even bother to glance at the ground.
Conversely, Arthur, who was following him, looked upon the corpses with a trace of pity in his eyes.
But in the next moment, that sentiment vanished, and he muttered something under his breath.
“Too brutal, the third wave…
As time passed, the three suns set one after another, and Milton’s steed continued to gallop nonstop across the wasteland.
Until glow of the setting sun was projected onto the expanse of the wasteland.
Milton’s view suddenly bloomed with colours that contrasted with endless yellowish-brown scenes previously seen.
In front of him, vibrant colours burst open, a contrast to the previous barren wasteland, making it undeniably refreshing.
Milton’s eyes brightened up. He was no stranger to this place since it was marked on the map.
This was the famous Flower Plains in the Blackwater Territory. Milton slowed down his pace, and when Arthur saw him, he followed suit.
“So beautiful!”
Arthur exclaimed in awe, having spent all his life in the poverty-stricken sector of Black River City, seeing such a beautiful sight was a first for him.
Hearing Arthur’s exclamation, Milton couldn’t help but nod.
Even for Milton, it was the first time seeing such a variety of flowers. Even the gardens of the Golden Lion Family paled in comparison to this place.
Compared to the barren wasteland, the Flower Plains could indeed be said to be incredibly beautiful.
Innumerable flowers almost covered the entire plain, it was truly a sea of flowers.
Calling it a sea of flowers was not an exaggeration.
The sea of flowers undoubtedly brought joy and euphoria to the onlookers, Milton was no exception, which was why he instinctually slowed down.
Amongst the sea of flowers, Milton was as if he was in a vibrant and colourful garden.
The glow of the setting sun shone on the sea of flowers, the petals under the glow seemed as soft as silk, and Milton could even smell a captivating scent.
In the sea of flowers, Milton could observe many colours, different shapes and sizes of flowers, and each colour had its own unique charm.
The flowers in the sea were scattered on the ground, on the trees, covering Milton’s entire field of vision.
The atmosphere in the flower sea was something Milton had never experienced before, in both his previous or current life.
The purpose of travelling the Kingdom was to experience its diverse sights.
If it was just about gaining power, he could also improve his strength on the estate with the Simulator.
“Let’s go.”
After appreciating the beauty of the flower sea, they naturally needed to proceed with their journey.
Hearing Milton’s words, Arthur quickly nodded his head, the mesmerised look in his eyes vanishing instantly.
The reins were drawn up, and the Yellow Fiery Horse returned to its original speed.
The colourful scenery began to retreat rapidly. As they crossed the Flower Plains, they were not far from Serpent Head City now.
