Knight Lords: Infinite Simulation and the Path of Light

Chapter 91 Falling Moon Canyon
After a flurry of activity, Haven and Lori spent half an hour setting up the tents at the camp. Since Haven discovered Serena's presence, no wild beasts or magical creatures had come to harass the camp, so they reduced the number of traps they set up, leaving only a few warning bells, which greatly shortened their daily camping time.

"Serena, come here and put some water in the pot."

Haven tapped the edge of the pot with a wooden spoon, and Serena, who was sitting on a wooden stool, immediately stood up, walked to the iron pot, stretched out her fair little hand and snapped her fingers above the pot. A few seconds later, a huge water ball condensed.

"Will, is this much water okay?"

Haven gestured roughly at the water sphere and nodded.

"Let it go, let it go, it looks about the same."

On the other side, Lori, carrying a large pile of branches, walked back to the camp panting, threw the branches aside, and lay on the ground like a dead dog.

"Mr. Will, Miss Serena, you and I can all cast fire magic, so why do I have to go out and find wood?"

Haven kept stirring the bottom of the pot with a spoon, and soon the butter, chili, and various seasonings blended together, and the broth, with its fiery red sheen, emitted an irresistible aroma.

"This is to help you improve your wilderness survival skills. What if you run out of magic and can't start a fire? Will you freeze or starve to death?"

Lori lay on the ground and nodded in agreement. Although he felt that Mr. Will was retaliating against him because he had been having diarrhea while working, he only dared to think about it and didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Alright, alright, that's enough. Put the meat in first, put the meat in first. Let me tell you, the first thing you have to eat when you have hot pot is meat. That's how you start a good meal."

The two men who had been lying on the sidelines perked up instantly when they heard that it was time to eat. They pounced on the chairs like hungry tigers, staring at the steaming pot on the wooden table. They waited for Haven to signal that the meat was cooked and ready to eat. Instantly, they reached their chopsticks into the pot. After being taught by Haven many times, the two men who had never used chopsticks before quickly mastered their various uses.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, leave some for me."

But the two fighters completely ignored Havet during the fight, leaving Havet no choice but to stop talking and focus on the battle.

A dozen minutes later, the three of them, having eaten and drunk their fill, lay sprawled on the lawn. Haven rolled over, broke off a twig, shaved his teeth, and let out a loud burp.

"There are still too few ingredients here. When we get to the capital, there should be plenty of ingredients there. We can add a lot more to the hot pot then."

The evening breeze gently blew by, carrying away the sweat that had broken out. Gazing at the twinkling stars in the sky, I slowly closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

The night passed peacefully, but as dawn broke, the dampness rising from the grass woke Havel from his chill.

He wriggled a couple of times, sat up, sneezed loudly, pushed Serena's legs off his stomach, and then shook Lori off his thigh and stood up.

Although he had slept all night, he still felt extremely tired. Turning his head to look at the two people who were still fast asleep and the tent not far from the three of them, Haven rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

"What's wrong with these two guys? They fell asleep while I was asleep, and they didn't even bother to carry me into the tent."

After shivering a few more times, he strode to the fire. After burning all night, the wood piled on the fire had mostly burned out, leaving only a few embers. Haven bent down, picked up some wood from the side, and threw it on the fire. He also made a small fireball from the pile and threw it on as well. Soon, the flames were burning brightly again.

Soon, a rich aroma of creamy vanilla wafted out. Sure enough, for Serena, no method of waking up was as effective as the smell of food.

Good morning, Will!

Seeing Haven looking at her, the girl instantly flashed a sweet smile. After breakfast, Lori felt ashamed in the face of Haven's nagging.

"Mr. Will, I saw you were asleep, so I thought I'd wake you later. I really just wanted to lie on the floor to digest my food, but I never expected this!"

"I didn't expect you to fall asleep hugging my leg."

Listening to Havent's complaints, Lori smiled awkwardly and jumped into the driver's seat of the carriage.

"I'm driving again today, and I'm driving again today."

Seeing Lori becoming more cheerful, Haven breathed a sigh of relief. Children shouldn't become withdrawn at such a young age, otherwise they are prone to developing antisocial personality disorder in the future.

"Let's go! Let's set off. We must cross the canyon today. We'll rest on the other side of the canyon."

"Alright, Mr. Will, let's go, charge!"

As the whip fell, the pained Sharma lurched the carriage away. Havent, who had been thrown face-up by the sudden movement, scrambled to his feet and gave Lori a sharp rap on the head.

"Slow down, slow down, don't you know how to drive safely? If you crash the carriage, I won't be able to fix it, and then we'll have to rely on our own two legs again."

After getting a sharp rap on the head, Droli rubbed his head. "Daily task completed, feels good!" He tugged on the reins to slow the horse down.

"That's more like it. You drive slowly. I need to practice my magic for a while longer. I think I'll be able to learn that Penetration spell soon."

Time flew by, and just as Haven was using his ability to speed up his learning of the tentacle monster's learning pack, he felt someone tap him. He opened his eyes and looked over, only to find Serena standing on the carriage, staring straight ahead.

"What's wrong, Serena?"

The girl suddenly flew up, her whole body radiating a pale blue magical power, and two beams of light shot out from her eyes, each more than half a meter long.

A few minutes later, Serena slowly landed. "Will, there are two groups fighting ahead."

"Two groups? Mercenary groups? Or what?"

Serena thought for a moment, then organized her thoughts and described it again:
"There are two groups of people wearing armor. One side has a lot of people, and the other side has very few. The side with fewer people is about to give up."

Listening to Serena's description, Haven stroked his chin and thought for a while.

"Can we go around it?"

Upon hearing Haven's question, the girl took flight, watched for a while, and then landed.

"It's not going to work. That group of people has blocked the entire canyon."

"This...this is a bit tricky. Let's go see what's going on?"

Lori stopped the carriage and listened quietly to their conversation. When he heard that Haven planned to go on a reconnaissance mission with Serena, he quickly raised his hand.

"What about me, what about me, Mr. Will? What am I going to do?"

Seeing little Lori's hand almost reaching for his face, he couldn't help but scratch his chin, and then began to look around at his surroundings.

"Hiss... This is indeed a problem, there aren't any trees around here!"

Hearing that he was going to be put back in a tree, Lori's face fell immediately, but she quickly composed herself and looked at Haven with expectant eyes.

“Mr. Will, why don’t I go with you? I promise I won’t cause any trouble.”

Haven, who had originally planned to refuse outright, looked at Lori's expectant expression and thought about how powerful Serena was, and of course, mainly because there weren't many tall trees in the canyon.

"Alright, let's find a place to park the carriage first, and then we'll go together."

Upon hearing Haven's decision, Lori jumped up excitedly.

“Great, this is an adventure for the three of us.”

Hevant glanced at Lori, who was already caught up in excitement, and shook his head helplessly. Kids really do get excited about everything. As for me, a big kid, I'm much more mature and have completely forgotten how excited I was when I sneaked into the abandoned magic tower with Serena.

Ten minutes later, after hiding the carriage, the two climbed to the top of the canyon with Serena's help. Standing on the edge of the canyon, they looked down and found it was at least fifty or sixty meters above the ground.

“Let’s go, stop looking at Lori, Serena, how far away are they from us?”

"It's just ahead."

On the other side, in the middle of Falling Moon Canyon.

"Give up resistance, Kubasi. As a soldier of the Empire, you have murdered a nobleman of the Empire. This is a betrayal of the country."

Surrounded in the middle of the canyon are the Freedom Resistance soldiers who beheaded Baron Oliver in Helgen just a few days ago. In just a few days, the situation has been completely reversed, and the attackers have become the ones being besieged.

Kubasi wiped the blood from his face. In the past few days of escape and pursuit, his thousands of brothers had either died, gone missing, or been captured. Now, only three hundred people remained around him, but even these three hundred people were basically covered in wounds.

Watching his brothers, who had risked their lives with him, fall one by one before him, Kubasi's expression turned bitter. He pushed aside the guards protecting him and walked to the front of the group.

"Lord Cassilia, if I choose to give up resistance, will you spare my men?"

Upon hearing Kubasi's words, Count Casillas spurred his horse and rode out, lifting his mask.

"Kubasi, as a soldier, you should know the consequences of what you've done. To the Empire, every soldier in your legion is a capital offense. The only promise I can give you is that you will be tried by the Military Intelligence Bureau. As for how many of you will live, that's not up to me."

Hearing Count Casilla's predictable words, Kubasi let out a desperate laugh:

"Hahahaha~ We are sinners? We fought in the north and south for the stability of the empire, and just because we didn't play our role as a pawn, we have become sinners."

As he spoke, he slowly retreated back into the ranks of the soldiers, looking at the Iron Stream armored knights who were surrounding and attacking him, and made a desperate expression.

Count Casillas frowned slightly as he listened to Kubasi's words, a few guesses flashing through his mind.

“Kubasi, even if something really happens, you can choose to report it to the military, to the Imperial Ministers, or to His Majesty, instead of personally opposing it with force. You should know how terrible the consequences of doing so will be.”

"Lord Casilla, you are a respectable man. You should know that what you just said is something a mere regimental commander like me could do. Not to mention, Brother Yelvin also served under you. You should know what kind of person he is. He broke military orders and embezzled military funds. Do you believe those two things?"

Faced with Kubasi's question, Count Casilla fell silent for a moment. Just as Casilla was about to say something more, a sinister voice came from behind.

"Oh, Lord Casilla, these rebels are surrounded. Why don't you deal with them quickly?"
