An hour later, Erica rode her motorcycle back to the Selida Forest.

The content of the conversation not long ago did not satisfy Erica, the main reason was that the principality had too poor control over the enemy's intelligence.

There is no doubt that this nominal army of the Solis Kingdom was actually the private army of the local prince Duke of Noske, and it was mixed with a large number of gun and cannon troops that had never existed in the past. Although they also wore the flag of the Noske Duke, Erica knew very well that their real owner was actually someone else, and that Aledo Solis, the second prince of the Solis Kingdom, who had never appeared in the social circles of the countries in the past.

If nothing unexpected happens, this person is probably the "His Highness Cromwell" he knew before. However, even Chris's brother Patrick knew very little about his information, or Patrick never thought that he would be behind the scenes before Erica mentioned this person.

In fact, this is not a problem with Patrick's intelligence capabilities. In fact, for the Principal, His Highness, the Second Prince, who had always been very low-key in the past, is really inconspicuous. Even when the Duke of Noske's army attacked the Salanka Pass, even Grand Duke Michel himself thought that the other party would not attack the hinterland of the Principality so recklessly. After all, they had been guarding against the regular military power of the kingdom, namely the two knights directly under King Solis and the recruitment of militias from the territory directly under the kingdom.

When the prince was in the ruins, Erica informed Chris, and she did report this key information to the Grand Duke as soon as possible. However, judging from the current state of the upper class of the Principality, it seems that they did not pay attention to this information, which led to the wrong preparations.

However, the small amount of news about the Duke of Nosk's army still made Erica pay some attention. After all, I learned from Patrick that the opponent did have a relatively mature application of gunpowder weapons. Although it is analyzed from the description that the opponent's artillery was probably smoothbore flintlock and smoothbore gun, Erica herself did not know much about this kind of ancient weapon, so she would not be able to come up with accurate analysis and countermeasures for a while. Perhaps only Aphrola knew about this kind of knowledge, or maybe there were relevant records in the library of the Gods Selected Ones to whom she belonged. After all, in that period more than 200 years ago, human civilization briefly entered the steam era, and gunpowder weapons also became mainstream weapons during that period, and their estimated performance was almost as high as that of the First World War.

Unfortunately, that glorious era came faster and went faster. While people were crazy about the progress brought by technology, they began to deny the coming of the god who had been caring for themselves. If this were on the earth, it might be worthy of the pride of "the great moment of mankind" or "science leads the future", but unfortunately, this is not the earth, and the gods here also exist, so their consequences were quickly and cruelly erased into the history of the world. Judging from the information revealed by Aphrola, the cultural relics from that period 200 years ago were almost no more complete. Although the architectural relics did leave some ruins, that kind of place had no research value at all.

Perhaps Algasburg does not develop pure science and technology, but Erica always feels that they are a little overwhelming. Creating gunpowder weapons or quickly entering the new era will not cause Sevena's dissatisfaction. On the contrary, Erica feels that if contemporary humans do this, Sevena may still hold popcorn with relish and watch this "fun" historical moment.

In contrast, the current Duke of Nosk's army must have been the product of the reincarnation of the Earth. But the problem is that Erica cannot figure out what the ultimate goal of the prince who has been silent for more than 20 years is. Even if he suddenly burst out his ambition to annex the principality, at least he must have an ultimate goal. However, both Chris and Patrick, the brother and sister, and the upper class of the entire principality are confused about this. Because according to the latest information brought by Patrick, the second prince Aledo Solis voluntarily gave up the right to inherit the king a few years ago, so the reason that the second prince may be a little more reliable may be that His Highness the Second Prince wanted to occupy the land of the principality and establish itself. Although this completely unreliable explanation cannot be accepted by the three people, at least this is the only explanation that Erica and the others could think of at that time.

For the principality, saying that the person who cannot find the other party's real purpose will not affect the course of the war, but for Erica it is a little confused. Her purpose is not just this war. All Erica wants to do is to completely destroy His Highness the Second Prince. After all, Diana has died of Diana, which left an indelible shadow in Erica's heart. As Erica, who is extremely vengeful for revenge, if you can't fight against tooth and for eye for eye, then this revenge will have no meaning. At least, at least you can pour a few bags of salt into the wounds of the enemy to slightly calm down the hatred in Erica's heart.

"Where are you going to find out about the information... I don't know if there are any professional intelligence dealers in this world..." Erica muttered while riding a bicycle: "But the most important thing at the moment... I still need to make some money..."

Erica smacked her lips in dissatisfaction, then increased the accelerator and rushed directly to the end of the dirt road in the forest.

As she was about to reach the asphalt section in front of her, Erica suddenly turned outside and walked into another path that had just been opened up and had not yet rested. After walking about a minute, Erica quickly slowed down her speed and engine noise, because she saw three children waiting on the roadside not far ahead.

These three little guys, who seem to be under 12 years old on the surface, are residents of Drachem Village next door, and they stay here just to wait for Erica to return home, because Erica came here before entering the city and agreed to several children to help them bring something from the city.

"Sir, the Admiral..." Several older little girls hugged a few little guys who seemed to be unable to speak and began to wave to Erica.

Erica slowly parked the car about 5 meters away from them and turned off the engine, then got out of the car and pushed the motorcycle slowly walked in front of them.

"...Carnavi?" Erica thought about the other party's name for a moment before hesitating.

"Yes, it's me." Canaveri, who was holding the little girl, walked up and bowed to Erica very hard, and another child behind her, who seemed to be about 10 years old, also saluted shyly.

"I said I don't need to salute... Urda is almost falling off." Erica quickly reached out to support Canawei and the young girl in her arms, and then reached out to report the two children to the motorcycle seat. Of course, another child who had been silent, Erica also carried her up with a smile, and then Erica pushed the motorcycle slowly towards the intersection ahead.

"Why are you three? Didn't I say that no matter who travels, you have to follow a guard?" Erica asked Canaway in a slightly stern tone as she walked.

"No... Lord Consul... When we came out, we did come out with Yalam..." Kanavi's voice was very low, as if he was in a bad mood.

Erica quickly stopped and turned to look at the three of them, but Canaveri seemed very hesitant and didn't seem to want to tell what was going on, so Erica had to turn her eyes to the other two. But Urda, who was only 3 years old, naturally wouldn't tell Erica the answer, because she didn't understand at all, and another little girl just turned 10 might know something, but unfortunately, this little girl named Denis has not yet learned how to speak English, so Erica cannot communicate with her in words.

Erica was quite shocked when she first found out, because these children from the world of Drachem did not speak at first, or in other words, the races in Drachem do not have language, only things like words.

The Drachim group is not a single race, but all ethnic groups living in that world will communicate with each other with telepathy, so their race does not need organs like vocal cords instinctively... To a certain extent, the alien race image that Erica had always fantasized about in the past was simply not related to them. I am afraid that the original appearance of this group of children would not be so easy to know, because even they themselves don't remember this. This was Sevena's work, and the purpose was to allow them to integrate into the crowds of this world as soon as possible, so they removed too many memories of their own race's past for them.

Without some memories of the past and the telepathic ability to communicate, he replaced his fragile body and came to a strange world. Erica estimated that he would not be able to accept it if he was an adult.

When Sevena resurrected them, she allowed the oldest group of children to quickly master language skills, so that they could communicate with locals as soon as possible and adapt to the environment after coming here. The younger group did not have such treatment. They needed to enter this world and learn by themselves or be taught by other companions to learn to speak, just like normal children. But Denis is a somewhat complicated group. In short, they became autistic after experiencing devastating disasters, and many reasons such as their parents' sacrifices or the destruction of their homes left them with almost indelible pain, which led to the children becoming very withdrawn and becoming "dumb" from a psychological level.

Sevena must be too lazy to interfere in such a thing, so she irresponsibly quit. But relatively speaking, Erica is not a professional psychologist. She can only do her best to comfort and care for this matter, and then the others can only be handed over to other children to help them. After all, many of these "autumn children" still seem very close to their "compatriots". Just like Denis in front of her, after being watched by Erica for a few seconds, she timidly buried her head behind Canaville.

Erica smiled at Canave in embarrassment, then stopped the motorcycle and began to observe the surrounding environment.

The guard who escorted them out was just a 15-year-old girl. She was one of the five "older" children who came here first. And because her family was a situation similar to a border sheriff, the young Aram had received relevant training since she was a child. In terms of combat ability alone, she was probably the strongest among this group of children. But she was only compared among these groups of children. In fact, Erica had competed with her a few days ago. Her senses were indeed so excellent that she was as sharp as the elves, but her fragile and young body weakened her physical strength to the extreme.

In general, she is not a willful and playful child. If she abandons the guard mission and leaves suddenly, Erica can only think that she has discovered something more dangerous.

Erica didn't know what she encountered or found, but her sudden departure still made Erica feel a sense of alertness of danger. Thinking of this, Erica quietly pulled out her pistol from her jacket, and then quietly began to observe and sense the grass and wood around her.

However, when Erica's vigilance was raised, she instantly noticed some abnormalities around her. It was almost evening now, and the various insects in the forest should have reached the time to start their activities, but at this moment, the surroundings were very quiet. Apart from the breeze blowing and making the grass leaves rub, Erica did not hear any insects.

The surroundings were a little too quiet, so Erica's alert also made Canaway and Denis nervous. Fortunately, the little girl Urda was very quiet, and there was almost no movement except for occasionally catching Canaway's little hands.

Erica felt as if it was getting worse, because she heard the slight and noisy sound of grass blades rubbing in the distance approaching here. She instinctively pulled out the M1014 shotgun prepared to defend herself from the back seat of the motorcycle, and then quickly pointed the muzzle at the position where the sound was the most.

But this location was not on the ground, but on a nearby branch. At the same time, before Erica had time to shoot, a figure fell from a nearby tree. Erica observed it and quickly raised the gun, because this person was Yalam who had left inexplicably before, but her current appearance was covered in wounds, which really made Erica unable to recognize him as soon as possible.

"Sir... Lord Administrator..." Yalam raised his head in a mess and looked at Erica, then staggered and threw himself on the ground without getting up.

Erica did not go up to help the other party, but continued to point the gun nervously at the grass behind her. Because just as Yaram fell down, several familiar faces also emerged from the old man there.

The familiar body shape, the familiar fur, the familiar white forehead, the familiar sharp fangs, and the flame that could not be more mature.

"Damn it, why is it the Fire Badger again?" Erica quickly crossed Yalam's body and rushed directly to the grass and shot two times at the nearest Fire Badger.

Although the deer bullet No. 00 does not have much penetration, fortunately, the scattered projectiles can still hurt the relatively fragile belly of the fire badger, so after the two shots, one fire badger died on the spot. But there are about 5 fire badgers here. Although their size is similar to the one Erica encountered, the fire badgers she encountered now are obviously more aggressive.

The death of his companions did not bring fear to them, but instead aroused their more manic beastly nature. So after Erica fired, the remaining four fire badgers rushed towards Erica mercilessly.

Fortunately, Erica is no longer the one who was the first to face strange monsters. After settling down here, she also went out to hunt several times. Of course, all the prey were fire badgers. This almost made Erica think that this thing was a specialty monster in the Selida Forest. It seemed that except for the rabbits that had been hunted when she first came here, she had never seen any other rabbits since then.

After several hunting activities, Erica was somewhat familiar with the fighting style of monsters like Fire Badgers. These monsters are not only like wild boars, but their attack methods are also very similar to wild boars. For example, the flames of the four wild boars in front of Erica are now rushing. Although they are aggressive, they are not easy to turn away when they collide, so it is a good time to dodge.

Erica seized the opportunity and immediately dodged sideways when the fire badgers entered the range of killing, and while dodging, he fired two more shots at the belly of the two fire badgers without any mercy. These two shots directly hit the softest part, and when the projectiles were shot into the flesh, it directly pumped a large amount of fishy blood, which splashed blood everywhere like a pierced water balloon.

However, it was already a distance from the locomotive. At this moment, the three people in the car had already gotten off and dragged the unconscious Yalam to hide behind the locomotive, so that Erica could feel relieved, but she did not lose her vigilance at all.

Recalling Yalam's injuries, although there are scratches and burns on his body, it is impossible to hurt her like this with just a few "little wild boars", so Erica judged that there were still big guys who did not show up. Considering the record of detecting the fire badgers with Aphrola a long time ago, and Aphrola also affirmed that there were at least a dozen big guys about the same size as horses in the fire badger group in this forest. Erica has never seen this type of fire badgers, but in the records learned from Aphrola, this type of fire badger is actually a real adult body, a real monster.

This kind of enemy is not what Erica wants to encounter most at the moment. Taking the opportunity to look at the four oil-towing bottles next to the motorcycle, Erica thinks it is better to retreat quickly. But if you want to retreat smoothly, you must first kill the remaining two fire badgers. After all, the highest charge speed of these guys is not much worse than that of motorcycles at all.

After roughly planning the plan in her mind, Erica licked her lips and prepared to take action. She first moved her position while the two fire badgers had not yet launched a charge, allowing herself to avoid the direction of the motorcycle, and then when the other party was about to charge, she could only have the attack of the belly.

"Bang--"

"Ba"

But just as the remaining two fire badgers rubbed their claws and charged, two bullets suddenly flew from a distance and shot them directly into the head. Judging from the splashing brain flowers, they must not be able to survive, so Erica breathed a sigh of relief and looked in the direction where the bullets flew.

I don't want to think about it. The two shots just now must be Liz and Parfi. Erica judged from the voice that they should be SVU without a silencer and M1A who had been in the arsenal for a long time. It seems that these two people should have been searched in their arsenal and planned to shoot two shots. After all, they also have similar hobbies.

Erica slowly walked towards the direction of the motorcycle, but after taking a few steps, she still didn't see them appear. Just when Erica thought they were planning to continue "playing", she suddenly saw Canave hiding behind the motorcycle and stood up and pointed at him in horror.
