The morning air on the mountain path was damp as two swift horses galloped along the trail.
The strong, well-built Guards on horseback had been handpicked by Ronin to deliver a message. They were headed to Lake Town to seek help from the Green Clan.
If Baron German was willing to lend them a Message Bird, the two Guards would return. If not, they would have to retrace their path back to Wushan Castle to deliver the letter.
They had already galloped for dozens of miles and were only two hours away from leaving the mountains.
But just then, two other swift horses came charging toward them from the opposite direction.
"It's that Knight from yesterday!"
"From Sain Territory. What's he doing here again?"
The two messengers' hearts skipped a beat. They instinctively pulled on their reins, halting to clear the path for the newcomer.
The rider was none other than Philton Henry, the Knight Captain of Sain Territory. He hadn't expected to run into people from Mountain Forest Town here.
