The army of nearly ten thousand people was planning to set off to the south.
Nicos was a native of the Imperial City and knew how to move in this area, so she accompanied them at the front to clear the way for the group.
The people from the military headquarters moved out of the way wherever they went, and pedestrians and caravans only looked at them one more time without commenting.
Such a situation is almost impossible to happen in Hajar City.
Are all the people in the imperial capital so knowledgeable?
"Nikos, do there often be marches in the Imperial City?"
Rias asked curiously.
There were nearly ten thousand troops coming along the way.
The passers-by bowed to her and greeted her with a smile on their face.
"Yes, General.
The military headquarters of the Imperial Capital is the heart of the entire empire.
Troops are often stationed in various cities, so people in the towns around the Imperial Capital can often see it."
Nikos explained.
"I see."
Rias nodded, no wonder the people passing by along the way had very calm expressions.
The rainy season in the Imperial Capital is almost over.
I wonder what the situation is like in the south.
Is it still raining heavily all day long?
Wang Chu was standing on top of the horse Rias was riding, his eyes stumbling.
It wasn't raining, which was already good news, because Rias was already a general, and she would have to do it at any time.
You have to take the lead and keep walking even if it rains.
Moreover, the army march is not equipped with carriages other than carriages for transporting supplies.
Isn't it just for times like this that we train under the sun and rain every day?
Look around.
A typical imperial official road is very spacious.
Even if tens of thousands of soldiers walk on the road, it is still large enough for tourists and caravans.
But what makes Wang Chu curious is that there are people from the Magician Association and the Cathedral.
How come he didn’t see anyone here, but he met many people from the adventurer team.
Do we need to travel in groups?
He complained in his heart.
Apparently Lucia also noticed this question and was busy asking.
"Why didn't I see anyone from the Magicians Association along the way?"
Looking behind him, the Imperial City was no longer visible, and at most he could see a few airships floating in the sky.
Wang Chu had previously wondered why such high-end transportation tools were not used to transport troops.
No matter how big the Asta Empire was, it would only take a few days at most to cross mountains and ridges, and it would take such a long time to reach the imperial capital.
It is rare to see it moving.
Most of the time, it is parked beside the tower or above the palace, just like a decoration for a face-saving project.
"I don't know, maybe the schedule is different.
Many things in the Imperial City are mysterious."
Rias complained.
Indeed, it has been almost two months since I came here.
As an empire general, Rias doesn't know many things, including some military affairs.
Marshal Mansol told a few people about the southern demons a long time ago.
There was no mention of the gathering of people, but what happened after that was never mentioned, as if the matter had been resolved.
The team kept going south The southern part of the Asta Empire has gentler mountains.

There are almost no high peaks.
Most of them are plain areas.
Therefore, there are many farms and villages.
You can almost walk a few steps to see various small gardens in the distance on both sides. farm.
Rias took out a folded roll of animal skin from the package at her waist.
"Cam, please give in a little bit."
He called to himself.
Wang Chu climbed up the opponent's arm to his shoulder, and saw Rias unfolding the animal skin on the horse's back, following a winding route, which was a simple map.
Then trace the area with the houses in the middle, which should be the imperial capital.
The white and slender fingers moved a short distance along the southern route. you know where we are Wang Chu looked at this simple map.
The mountains were outlined with a few strokes.
The roads and cities were the clearest on the entire map.
Oh, there were also some pictures that looked like fortresses, presumably from some of the military headquarters.
Fortress place.
Generally, there are not many permanent soldiers in small cities.
Most of them are located in various transportation thoroughfares and fortresses around them.
This was the case in Hajar City.
Can you understand this kind of map?
Rias rowed from the imperial capital to the next city, and there was a long distance in between.
Looking around, she didn't know exactly where the team had gone.
Based on the distance, they could only estimate the approximate location.
"Where are we going to stay tonight?"
Lucia from the side also came over and asked.
"The situation in this area is very good.
You can buy supplies at any time.
Let's walk a little longer and take a look in the evening.
It would be great if we could get to the next city."
Rias looked at the map. , there is still a long way to go before the next city, but it’s still early.
"I know a good place, General."
Nikos said from the other side.
"Oh somewhere."
"According to the current speed, we should be able to arrive in the evening.
If we go faster, it is a farm manor, and it is also a farm under the Erica family.
It is a big place, although there is not a big enough tavern around it, but the surrounding places It can be enough for a legion to be stationed there, and many imperial troops heading south will choose that place as their first stop."
Nikos is obviously very familiar with the terrain here.
Erica.
Well, Wang Chu thought of the girl with a slightly brown complexion.
When they were in the slums, they invited Rias to attend a gathering among their aristocrats and wealthy businessmen, but Rias didn't even go because the other party from the military department wanted to invite them and it was impossible to get in.
I didn’t expect to encounter her family’s industry.
"If there is such a place, that's good.
We will camp there tonight.
Some of the army will be cooks invited from outside.
If they can't walk, let them get on the carriage and speed up."
Rias Suddenly I remembered the idea I had come up with at that time.
"There are about a dozen of them.

I'll make arrangements right away.
General, I won't delay the trip."
After finishing speaking, Nikos turned his horse and ran towards the back of the team.
"I didn't expect you were quite good at it."
Lucia smiled and leaned her head.
"Sigh, you don't know how difficult it is to manage so many people.
This is the only way."
Ever since Nikos was scolded that day, it seems that her actions in the past two days have been much more efficient, and she will take into account the situation of the entire unit when doing things.
"And you, you are also a troublemaker."
Rias stretched out her other hand and poked her body.
What does this have to do with me?
After determining the route, the team sped up their pace slightly.
They had to reach the designated place before dusk
