August 11, 299, the imperial calendar of the Britannia Empire—
Britannian Empire, somewhere in the northern border—
Darlena felt her body pounding up and down at an irregular rhythm.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw Yara sitting opposite her.
Yara, who was sitting opposite her, also found Darlena who had woken up at this time.
"Dalina, are you awake? How are you sleeping?"
"It's OK. If the carriage isn't that bumpy, I should be able to sleep more soundly."
After stretching hard, Darlena looked out of the car.
Judging from the sky, it should be around 15:00 in the afternoon.
——Have you slept for about 2 hours... It's been quite long.
After muttering like this in his heart, Darlena turned her gaze back to Yara.
"Yara, do you want to sleep for a while?"
"No, I won't need it. I'm not sleepy."
Darlena and Yara were sitting in a carriage they rented.
The Delan Immortals, like other troops in the Britannian Empire, adopted a rotational rest system. The players took turns to rest.
However, the vacation system of the Delan Immortals has a rather humane system than other troops.
That is - when you don't want to take a break, you can save up your vacation.
So, a large number of team members who didn't know what to do even after taking a vacation were saved. They saved up every holiday they had and gradually saved up an amazingly long holiday.
For example - Darlena and Yara are part of it.
Darlena and Yara are both people who give them a short vacation and they don’t know what to do.
So they all chose to save up their vacations.
After several years of accumulation, the two of them have achieved an amazing vacation - 4 months.
At the beginning of this year, Darlena received a letter from her parents in her hometown.
Darlena's parents did not hide their longing for Darlena in the letter.
After reading this letter from her parents, Darlena made up her mind to use all her four months of vacation in one breath! Go back to her hometown to see her parents.
After Darlena told her plan to return home, Yara also decided to use her four-month holiday and accompany Darlena to her hometown.
The reason why Yara decided to accompany Darlena to her hometown was simply a traveling attitude.
Darlena is Yara's closest friend in the military.
Yara is also very interested in Darlena's hometown.
Anyway, it’s useless to save up her four-month holiday, so it’s better to take advantage of this opportunity and use it all in one breath.
After the end of the Self-Defense War, their Terran Immortals' garrison was replaced from the northern border to the outskirts of Pandragon.
And Darlena's hometown happened to be in the north.
Although the journey is a bit long, just renting a carriage, with the speed of the carriage, it is enough for Darlena and Yara to go back and forth between Pandragorn and Darlena during their 4-month holiday.
Darlena and Yara are also members of the Ace Force of the Knights of Michael - the Delan Immortal Squad.
The military pay I have saved over the years is not to mention renting a carriage.
Even buying a carriage is more than enough.
...
...
"Hey, Darlena." Yara looked at the view outside the carriage and asked Darlena in a casual tone, "Are we very close to your hometown?"
"Yeah." Darlena nodded.
Then he turned his head, followed Yara's appearance, and looked out of the carriage.
"I have...can feel...we are very close to my hometown..."
...
...
On the vast wilderness, the carriage that Darlena and Yara were riding in moved alone under the blue sky, on the straight dirt road towards the end of the horizon.
The wooden fences block the road, separating the farmland one after another from the dirt road.
Some farmers working on the farmlands occasionally cast curious eyes at Darlena and Yara's carriages.
Some children who were playing in the wilderness even chased Darlena and their carriages and waved their hands enthusiastically to Darlena and the others.
...
...
"Customer, we're here."
The driver who pulled the car said to Darlena and Yara.
"Thank you for your care along the way." Darlena thanked the coachman while packing the luggage they had piled up in the carriage with Yara.
"You're welcome. Then, as we agreed, I will come here to pick you up in a month, don't be late."
"No problem. Please rest assured. We will not be late."
I spent a month and a half to rush to my hometown, lived in my hometown for a month, and then spent another month and a half to return to my residence - this is the plan of Darlena and Yara.
Darlena and Yara rented carriages from Pandragorn Central Carriage Station, so their reputation was quite guaranteed. They said that they would come here to pick them up in a month, and they would definitely pick them up in a month.
After packing up their luggage, jumping out of the carriage, watching the coachman drive away in the carriage, Darlena turned her head and looked at the small black dots that were constantly emitting smoke from the cooking stove in the distance ahead.
These little black dots are the houses in Soya Village, Darlena's hometown.
Looking at her hometown that was already close, Darlena felt her heart beating faster.
This tension gave Darlena the illusion that she was now waiting for offensive orders on the battlefield.
After taking several deep breaths and suppressing the tension in her heart, Darlena carried her only luggage - a huge suitcase, and strided towards her hometown.
If you follow this dirt road to enter Darlena's hometown, you must first step across a Mofang Bridge.
The gurgling stream flowing out of the sluice of Mofang Bridge is slowly extending forward.
The mottled mill built next to the Mofang Bridge is squarely between the thin stream flowing out of the sluice and the twilight of dusk.
It is now dusk, and the chimneys of every household are constantly emitting smoke from cooking fires.
The sunlight cast from the setting sun left a long and long shadow on the ground.
Darlena is so familiar with this Mill Bridge.
When she was a child, she always jumped and played with her friends on this Mill Bridge, counting down what debris was floating through the stream below.
It would be a bit inaccurate if Darlena was just familiar with this Mifang Bridge.
It should be said that - Darlena is very familiar with everything here.
Darlena is so familiar with everything around here.
Every nearby storefront is so friendly, Uncle David's home, Aunt Maya's home, Winnie's home...
Darlena felt that her legs were as if they had self-awareness, like an old horse who knew the way, leading Darlena to turn left and right.
