Chapter 17 (1/2)
Kerry curled up in her seat with her petite body, wrapped her hands around her legs in white silk stockings, and her eyes were full of fatigue.
She is very tired. When she is tired, she will miss home and her father.
This trip to Newlin was a very severe test for her. The pressure she faced was much greater than that in the defense war of Qingquan city.
Cleaning up the remaining demons sounds very simple, but the real experience is much more troublesome than a simple fight.
After they separated from rolle, they spent three days by train to Newlin, and then went into the clean-up work nonstop. In just a few days, they had run through several cities and villages.
Before Newlin was attacked, although the Empire mobilized heavy troops to defeat the enemy's offensive at the first time, it could not annihilate all of them, and a considerable number of demons escaped.
But Newlin is also a mountainous area. There is too much space for demons to hide. Instead, it has played a guerrilla war with humans. It has harassed unprotected areas such as factories, villages and mines. After more than a month, the losses are greater than those caused by the previous massive invasion.
Among them, there are many powerful demons that are difficult to deal with, which has also caused great losses to the army and extraordinary people.
Although the newspapers have always claimed that the crisis has been lifted and that the few remaining demons can no longer pose a threat, governor Newlin has already been in a mess and almost wants to commit suicide, which led the Empire to send three eighth level strongmen, including Kerry, to clear and suppress an area.
Under the arrangement of Anya's father, Kerry is responsible for the most important and complex area.
It is both a challenge and an opportunity.
If she can stick to it, it will be a very prominent qualification and a valuable exercise, which can make her take-off speed a little faster.
”Why don't we take a day off tomorrow?”
Anya looked at Ke Li's poor appearance, but she was also very distressed.
In fact, she is also very tired. She almost accompanies Cori all the way without any laziness. Although she doesn't have to fight, she has to deal with all kinds of more tired entertainment, which is no easier than Cori.
Kerry managed to squeeze out a smile and shook her head.
”It's all right, sister Anya. Just have a sleep. I agreed to go to the village tomorrow. I promised the children there that I would protect them.”
Anya lowered her head and scolded herself:
”It's all my fault. I shouldn't have dragged you to all kinds of social occasions. If you can save that time, you will have a better rest.”
Kerry stretched out her little hand, patted the back of her hand, and comforted her in turn:
”It's all right, sister Anya. I know you're for my good.”
Newlin is one of the richest provinces in the Empire and has rich contacts. It would be a waste of the Duke's arrangement to come to this place to work hard.
That's why Anya took her to various social occasions to help her accumulate a network and pave the way for the future.
The original intention of the idea is to overestimate your endurance
”Sister Anya, I want to write to my father. After I leave, he must sit at the entrance of the village every day and wait for my letter...”
Said Kelly suddenly.
”OK, we'll write it when we go back!”
Anya nodded hard.

Early the next morning, Rolle got out of the tent, first turned his left hand into a mirror and a razor, trimmed his beard, and then kicked the little donkey and urged him on the road.
The map was burned in his anger last night, but it doesn't matter. He still remembers the general direction. Newlin is in the south of the Empire and has been heading south.
The little donkey was attracted by carrots and carried rolle out of the wilderness. Then he saw it——
