Although it was unclear what the war in the Hartwin Kingdom represented, or what special events were occurring there.

It had to be said that the change in the environment made cultivation somewhat simpler than before.

Whether it was the Great Knight or the Grandmaster Realm, Liens felt that he might enter these two domains even earlier than expected, especially the Grandmaster Realm.

Originally, the Heaven and Man as One existence had already allowed him to progress rapidly in the domain of heaven and earth. Now, with the environment of the Hartwin Kingdom, he felt that he might soon reach that critical point and officially step into the Grandmaster Realm.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

A knocking sound echoed.

"Come in."

Liens stopped cultivating and politely invited Ralph from outside the door to enter.

"Have we already arrived at Kara City?"

Liens asked Ralph, who had opened the door and walked in.

"Yes, Mr. Heier."

"We have already reached the territory of Kara City. The vehicles are currently slowing down, and we are expected to stop less than two kilometers outside Kara City."

Ralph responded respectfully.

After nearly two days of travel, they finally arrived at Kara City within the estimated time. This journey was much more dangerous than expected, making Ralph secretly glad he had come along.

Otherwise, one of their Divine Wind Adventurer Group's Earth Dragon Beasts might have perished on the return trip, and it could even have caused some misunderstanding.

Ever since entering the territory of the Hartwin Kingdom, the probability of encountering magical beasts on the road had sharply increased. Many ferocious magical beasts even ignored the threat of the Earth Dragon Beast and directly attacked them.

Although many magical beasts were no match for him, their sheer numbers and frequent attacks were problematic.

Even as an Extraordinary One, he would get tired.

Fortunately, Liens, as the escort target, intervened later, otherwise, they might have been significantly delayed beyond the estimated time.

"Because the situation in Kara City is very tense right now, our vehicles cannot approach too closely, so as to avoid causing misunderstandings between the two factions."

"Therefore, we cannot directly drop you off at the city gate. Please forgive us."

Perhaps worried that Liens would think they were negligent, Ralph continued to explain.

"It's fine. Being dropped off there is enough. I can walk the remaining short distance myself."

"Thank you, Vice-Leader Ralph, for your care these past two days. If there's an opportunity in the future, I will repay the Divine Wind Adventurer Group's help."

Liens smiled slightly.

"You are too kind. This is just what we should do."

Upon hearing this, Ralph quickly responded, stating that it was merely their duty and they did not expect any favors.

"Alright, let me give you a reminder. Pay more attention to the changes in external elements. This might be helpful to you… You can also convey this to Captain Jay."

Having said that, Liens said no more, picked up his longsword, slung his pack over his shoulder, and walked out of the compartment, passing the thoughtful Ralph. Sоurсеd dirесtly frоm

The elements in the Hartwin Kingdom were much more active than in the Neil Kingdom. If they meditated upon entering the Hartwin Kingdom, they might be able to cross the threshold and become Great Knights in one fell swoop.

Liens slowly walked to the front of the carriage. Along the way, the members of the Divine Wind Adventurer Group in the carriage immediately bowed respectfully to him and greeted him upon seeing him.

This was respect for the strong, the authority Liens had established by slaying numerous magical beasts with a single sword stroke on the journey.

Soon, the giant beast stopped, and the wheels ceased rolling. Liens gazed at the outline of the distant, massive city, and a sense of melancholy, like a wanderer returning home, inexplicably arose in his heart.

Although he had no affection for this city, and even felt a bit of aversion, it was where he had spent fifteen years, and it was where he had begun.

Memories of the past wove together into a sentiment of "familiar" nostalgia… Perhaps this was what Ben felt when he returned to Kara City from the Training Camp.

"Ben… Are you still pursuing that so-called equality, or have you become a skeleton in this war?"

Thinking of his friend, Liens sighed in his heart, then jumped down from the front of the carriage. After a simple wave of farewell to Ralph on the carriage, he quickly walked towards Kara City.

Watching Liens leave, the giant Earth Dragon Beast carriage also turned around under the guidance of its driver and began to depart from the outskirts of Kara City.

Afterward, they would continue to traverse the dangerous wilderness until they rendezvoused with the main force of the Divine Wind Adventurer Group.

For Liens, a distance of two kilometers was just a few extra steps, so he quickly saw the familiar city gate.

"Kara City, it's been a long time."

Liens murmured softly.

"Who goes there?"

On the city wall, a guard loudly questioned Liens below the city.

As he spoke, he held a crossbow aimed at Liens, seemingly ready to shoot him if there was any disagreement.

His shout also attracted the attention of the other guards stationed on the city wall. Those who had been daydreaming quickly became alert, raising their crossbows and aiming downwards.

Only when they saw that there was only one figure below the city did they slowly relax, but they still did not lower their crossbows.

After all, given the current situation in the wilderness, anyone who appeared alone outside the city was more or less extraordinary.

This was also why the initial guard was so vigilant; he could not determine whether Liens was an enemy, or if he had any ill intentions towards the city gate.

The cooperation of his companions gave the guard more confidence, so he continued to question Liens below the city: "Who are you? Which faction? What are you doing here?"

Facing multiple crossbows aimed at him, Liens smiled slightly, then, almost in the blink of an eye, appeared beside the guard who had first spoken.

"I am an Adventurer. Of course, I'm here to carry out a commission. Why else would I come to a place where people die every day?"

Liens responded to the guard's question in a teasing tone.

"Ah!"

The sudden sound beside him startled the guard, almost making him drop his crossbow.

And his startled cry, as before, attracted the attention of the other guards. They all looked over and saw that the figure who had just disappeared from their sight had now appeared on the city wall like a ghost.

Moreover, he had appeared right next to their comrade, which made them unsure whether or not to aim their crossbows in that direction.

Liens did not let the guard's high-pitched scream last too long. With a single sword stroke, he directly made the volume from his mouth swallow back down.

"Gulp."

Looking at the sharp longsword pressed against his throat, the guard couldn't help but nervously swallow, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Ah, haha… Please forgive me, Sir!"

"I am only following orders to guard the city wall. My questions just now were merely my duty, and I absolutely had no intention of targeting you, Sir."

As an old hand who had been mixing in the military for many years, he knew that begging for mercy directly at this moment was the most correct choice.

If it weren't for the longsword at his neck, he would immediately kneel and beg for mercy, even performing various begging postures for Liens, just to save his life.

After all, with Liens's ability to cross a distance of ten meters from below the city to the city wall in the blink of an eye, he knew that even with crossbows in hand, none of them could be Liens's opponent.

Therefore, instead of uttering useless threats, it was better to just go straight to begging for mercy.
