Farming in the Magical World

Annecy Hill, afternoon, sunset!

Clack clack... ...

A rapid sound of horses' hooves came galloping from afar.

On horseback, a figure lay prone, rising and falling with the horse's gallop. Beads of sweat covered the figure's forehead, showing how anxious he was.

Upon arriving at the castle gate, before the horse had even come to a complete stop, he dismounted and galloped all the way into the study!

"Master, Master..."

The moment the study door was pushed open, the figure cried out, "Master, we've found those people!"

In the study, Leonard put down his beloved dark-patterned sword, slowly turned around, and asked unhurriedly, "Oh, where did they go?"

"These guys have been traversing mountains and valleys all the way to Fallen Leaf Town!"

Leonard frowned slightly and tilted his head in confusion.

"Fallen Leaf Town?"

That's not some bustling place; it's just an ordinary little town with a small population. What are these people doing there?

He stood up and paced a few steps, his brows slightly furrowed. He tried to ask himself, if he were the leader of that group, what would he be doing going there over mountains and valleys?

Why don't you lead your team and try to return to Cyria?

Fallen Leaf Town?

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed through his mind. He quickly turned around, sat down, took out a map from the drawer, and unfolded it on the table to look at it!

Burleman... ...Fallen Leaf Town... ...Cast Ridge... ...Hiss... ...

Now he finally understood the other party's intention!

In this small town, there is a path leading to Castel Ridge, which is much closer than from Elfen!

Are these guys planning to attack Caster Ridge?

He had considered this possibility before, after all, Harrison was a variable involved!

The problem is that these main attacking forces are not Harrison's men at all, and how many decisions he can make is an unknown!

But now it seems that Harrison's hatred for Lanny led him to devise a way to persuade these people.

"Men, prepare the horses, get ready to depart..."

"Butler, bring me the doves the Duke gave me..."

Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still and immediately picked up the dark-patterned sword he had put down!

Lenny isn't there now, but Tiffany is; he can't just ignore her.

However, before leaving, he wrote down the message and sent it to the Duke of Burton in Burleman!

"Honey, it's almost dark. Are you really going out now?"

At the door, Daisy's slightly reproachful but caring voice came.

Leonard waved his hand, "Castel Ridge is in danger, I have to get there immediately, it's probably already a fight!"

"What? Those guys went to Lannina?"

Upon hearing that there was danger in Caster Ridge, Daisy exclaimed in surprise and repeatedly said, "Go! Go!"

However, after glancing at the sky outside, she paused and showed a worried expression.

"Then be careful, it's getting dark, you can't ride a horse recklessly at night!"

Even though she had been instructed to do so, she still made sure the housekeeper prepared plenty of torches before leaving, so that her husband would be safer even if he couldn't resist the urge to run wildly at night!

"Drive..."

With a loud shout, Leonard led his knights out at breakneck speed, kicking up a cloud of dust.

He didn't even bother to conscript or bring his servants.

As dusk fell, bathed in the bright red glow of the setting sun, the silhouettes of the group stretched out long and thin...

A black bird was cawing incessantly in the air, seemingly disturbed by the group of people. It took off from its nest again and angrily flew around, trying to find the culprit that had disturbed its peaceful sleep!

Daisy stood at the doorway, staring blankly at her husband's retreating figure, her face filled with worry, speechless for a long time...

 …

A little later, a plump dove fluttered into Berleman’s castle and entered a small room.

"Coo coo, coo coo..."

"Oh, little one, are you hungry? Eat up, eat up. Let me see, is this news from the capital?"

The butler took the message off his lap, but didn't read it first. He fed the little creature in his hand before unfolding the note.

He glanced at him and his expression changed drastically. Gone was his previous leisurely demeanor. He quickly got up and ran to the master's study. "Master, there's news from Annecy. Earl Leonard reports that the group that attacked the castle earlier may be going to attack Caster Ridge!"

"Oh?"

Marcus took the note from the butler and glanced at it. He didn't seem anxious at all, but Bruce, who was standing to the side, was quite worried. "Duke, should we send reinforcements immediately?"

He returned to the castle after the attack, by which time the attackers had already left, leaving behind several corpses!

His face looked extremely grim at the time. He was furious that he had been diverted before the battle!

Fortunately, the specially treated gate blocked the magician's attack, so he was able to participate in the battle in a way!

But these people were going to attack Lanny's hometown, which he found unbearable. Whether it was to vent his anger or for the sake of his old friend Theodore, he felt that he could not turn a blind eye!

"You can go now!" He waved to the butler.

After the other person left the study, Marcus slowly said, "This afternoon, I received definite news that Howard-France has launched a full-scale invasion of the North. Livingstone has fallen, and Fromm is in imminent danger..."

"To the west, it's a sea of ​​fire..."

After a pause, once Bruce had processed the news, he continued, "I will issue a mobilization order immediately. The entire North will be under war, and the First and Second Knight Regiments will soon assemble and depart to support Fromm!"

"I cannot abandon the entire North for the sake of one person!"

"So even if it's to support Caster Ridge, I can only give you one or two knights at most, not many more!"

Upon hearing this news, Bruce was speechless for a long time, unable to react for a moment.

How could things have suddenly deteriorated to this point when everything was fine?

After a long pause, he nodded. "Alright, just send me a knight. I need to depart immediately..."

After a moment's hesitation, he looked at Marcus apologetically, "Once I've dealt with these people, I'll immediately return to Berleman to ensure your safety!"

Logically, he should be protecting the Duke at this time, but fortunately, he had already analyzed the battle traces and found that the mages among the invading enemies were not very strong. As long as he could catch their trail, he could deal with them quickly without wasting much time!

"Okay, I'll wait for you to return!"

Seeing that Bruce hadn't forgotten his duty, Marcus nodded in satisfaction, thinking that at least he still remembered to add that last sentence.
