I Am the God of Games

The daylight hours in spring are so short that the sun stays in the sky for less than nine hours a day.

At this moment, the setting sun had already half sunk into the horizon, and the afterglow spread over the earth, reflecting everything in orange.

After the end of the frost and fog season, the heavy snow covering the commercial roads finally melted, and the originally deserted roads seemed a little busy.

Of course, it's only 'slightly'. After all, in this era when traveling is not safe, except for traveling merchants and some people who have to go out of the city, the vast majority of residents will stay in their hometown from beginning to end, and there will be no change in their lives. .

At this time, on the business road, a group of people was hurrying, planning to find a place to stay before the sun completely set.

There are not many of them, maybe twenty or thirty people. Although almost everyone has strong camels and chocobos, but because there are three heavy carriages behind them, the speed of travel is not fast. .

If you are a knowledgeable person, when you see this convoy, you can probably guess that the other party is an envoy sent by the Walra royal family, because the emblem of the royal family is hung outside those carriages.

Not only that, but those who ride camels and chocobos outside are not ordinary coachmen, they are all wearing well-made royal armor, and it is not the standard armor of the light cavalry, but more high-quality, lighter and more defensive. Excellent captain's armor.

In addition to being the guards of the envoys, these heavily armed knights must also have the meaning of showing off their force to the envoys.

The wooden window on the left side of the carriage in the middle opened from the inside, revealing a weather-beaten and aged face.

"Knight Mo Nan, where are we now?" the old man with white beard and eyebrows asked in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency Basil, we have just entered the Northland, located in the southern part of the Star Luo Swamp." A chocobo knight guarding the carriage approached the carriage with a bird, and replied respectfully.

"Star Luo Swamp..."

The old man showed a thoughtful expression, probably recalling the details of the map, and he frowned after a while: "Can we make it to Lancaster today?"

"If you drive overnight, you should be able to do it..." After hesitating for a moment, the chocobo knight warned in a low voice, "But I don't recommend this."

"Oh? Why."

The old man raised his eyebrows and asked.

"The heavy snow in the frost and fog season hasn't melted for long, and the road conditions are not good now. If you drive in the dark, you may encounter accidents. For example, if the car gets stuck in the mud, it may take more time. Our mounts also need to rest." Lu Mo Nan, the walking bird knight, replied honestly: "In addition, the people in the village where the supply was made before said that strange monsters often appear in the Xingluo Swamp recently... Although it seems that there have been a lot fewer these two days, we still have to Be cautious."

"According to what you say, shouldn't it be more urgent to leave the right and wrong place of Xingluo Swamp?" The old man asked with great interest.

"If you are attacked while traveling at night, the damage caused is much higher than during the day. In comparison, as long as you find a suitable place to camp and we are there, even being attacked by ordinary monsters is not a big problem." Mo Nan proudly Stand tall.

After all, to be selected as the guard of the envoy group, his strength must have been recognized by the top management of Wang **, and he really has the capital to be proud of.

"I see……"

It could be seen that the old man was not the stubborn type. After thinking about it for a while, he nodded in agreement with Chocobo Knight's proposal.

After getting the approval of the old man, not only the chocobo knight Mo Nan, but also the other guard knights around him showed a relieved expression. Unlike the old man hiding in the carriage, these knights were all blown outside. Although the frost and mist season is over and the weather is starting to warm up, the wind at night is still quite cold and biting, and staying up all night on the mount is no joke.

Although the Xingluo Swamp itself is a forest, there are plenty of flat areas outside the forest. Soon the convoy found a fairly open and flat place to set up camp.

Not long after the tent was set up, the sky became completely dark. Two moons, one red and one silver, hung high in the sky, but they did not bring much light to the earth.

Fortunately, the bonfire in the center of the camp has also been lit, dispelling the darkness and cold of the night for the members of the messenger group.

Sitting by the bonfire, the old man stretched his stiff body that had been huddled in the car all day. While warming the fire, he told the chocobo knight Mo Nan who was cooking soup: "Arrange the night duty." After the candidates are selected, you should also take a good rest. If you can, put on some clothes and armor. You will arrive in Lancaster tomorrow. As the representatives of Mrs. Wang, your performance represents Mrs. Wang's face. "

"No problem, we will definitely not let those barbarians in the North look down upon us."

Mo Nan fiddled with the wild vegetables in the soup, and said confidently: "I once came to Lancaster with General Miloran, and the city guards there are rotten, not as strong as the training soldiers of the king .”

"Really?" The old man was a little skeptical.

"Your Excellency Basil, don't believe it." Seeing the old man's appearance, the knight Mo Nan ignored his tone of disrespect, and said quite seriously: "Although Lancaster is a border land, in fact it is Located in the center of the Northland, there are no barbarian bandits nearby to be wary of. Those city guards inside are soft bastards who have never seen blood! And even if Mrs. Wang is a training soldier, she will often be pulled out to suppress bandits, whether it is fighting or not. Both experience and skills are far better than Lancaster's city guards."

"Then how do they compare with you?" The old man asked, not knowing whether it was a big deal, or just casually speaking.

"To put it bluntly, they are not worthy of being compared with us royal knights." Mo Nan sneered, he patted his chest, and said to the old man: "I'm not bragging, in the whole city of Lancaster, except Mai In addition to the Knight Gerald of the Cowberry family, who is still a bit worth seeing, I can fight ten other city guards!"

Not only Mo Nan, but even the other guard knights who heard what they were talking about showed expressions of approval.

Seeing this, the old man nodded noncommittally.

In this way, these suffocated knights should perform well when they arrive in Lancaster tomorrow.

At that time, I just need to watch from the sidelines. If it is really like what these knights said, Lancaster is a piece of trash, and if they can make a big fuss, then after this mission, the new emperor will have an explanation.
