We set out by chariot in the direction of the south as planned, the vegetation is not dense, not like the rest of the empire.

Contrary to what we expected, the area was active، full of mercenaries and knights.

An ominous feeling gripped both Alvis and Dara.

Dara turned to Alvis and said:

-"Alvis, as far as I know, there shouldn't be that many Aeolus Knights here. Is that normal?".

- "This is not normal. It is assumed that this area is a deliberate security breach to cross the border."

Then she said to me:

-"Raiden hid in the carriage just in case."

What they say is true, why they are here.

As we approached the place, it became clear that it was a checkpoint.

As we passed by the knights we heard their conversation.

- "Damn the mercenaries, it's all because of them."

From the grumbling of the Knights, it seems that the reason for establishing the checkpoint is criminals and enemy mercenaries.

- "We were rested, and now we're working so much. In addition to Herodotus, we have another thing to do."

- "But they put a lot of money in If we find him, isn't that good for us?".

What?

Damn that's bad, now everyone is looking for me.

Edgar turned and tension appeared on his face

-" let's back off now and draw up another escape plan..."

-"You stop where you are."

We were stopped by the knights.

Edgar stuck in his place, trying to think of a solution to escape from the situation.

"We can't fight here. They outnumber us. We don't have time to hide him. Dara can't use invisibility magic."

Horner grabbed his sword, but Alvis  stopped him
Then he go forward to speak to them

"What's the matter, why were we stopped?"

-" We have search warrants."

-" Since when did  Aeolus's Knights become border customs??"

-"since now, These are direct orders from the emperor".

-"The Emperor?"

Despite Elvis's attempt to disable them, some knights advanced towards the carriage

- "Wait, you have no right to do that."

- "Stop resisting, I will consider it disobeying orders.”

-"Alvis stop"

Edgar shouted.

He stopped arguing.

There is no way but direct combat.

He exchanged glances with the others.

At the right moment they will attack.

The knight approached the carriage door.

Everyone clinging to his weapon, waiting for the moment to attack

-"Sir...there is no one"

What?!

-"You can go ahead"

Alvis bowed to them, while the rest turned straight to see the carriage.

They did not find Akir.
