They were heading to the border between White Castle and Hesser to guard against a sudden attack by the Hesser people.
Gnas and Halls had already set out, but they rushed to their respective defense areas and did not go with Gawain.
In front of his airship, Gawain looked at Mozo with a complicated expression.
Mozo said first:
"Mr. Gao Wenqing, you are going to guard against the Hesir army. This mission is very important. Please be extremely careful!"
Gao Wen nodded and said:
"Young Master, you don't have to worry about me. You don't have to worry about the border issues. White Castle, Yongquan Castle and the White Horse Line are not so easy to break. But compared to us, are you really okay?"
As Gawain spoke, he looked behind Mozo with some concern. Most of the demigods and troops in the North had been sent to the border or withdrawn to their original bases.
Now, apart from the original garrison and the three old battalions of Winterfell, only Maurice is left at Storm's End.
Gao Wen was a little worried about this lineup.
Because it reminded him of the time when his old master sent them all back to the North.
As if he understood Gawain's concerns, Mozo shook his head and smiled:
"Please do not worry about my safety. Tomorrow, Her Majesty the Queen and the others will come in person. Once this is over, I will return to Winterfell. And this is the North!"
The last sentence, "This is the Northern Territory," finally put Gawain's mind at ease. The old master had committed suicide in the rootless Fog City because he was willing to do so. But today, the young master was staying in their own territory in the Northern Territory.
What could possibly happen
On the other hand, if there is no powerful person guarding the border, something might really happen.
Thinking of this, Gao Wen no longer thought about it and nodded and smiled:
"I am overthinking it, but please pay more attention to your own safety, young master. I will rush to White Castle first."
After bowing slightly to Mozo, Gawain boarded his airship as Mozo and the girls watched.
Soon, this airship force took Gawain and his companions to White Castle.
When the airship almost flew away from Storm's End, a knight pushed open the door of the captain's room where Gawain was, handed Gawain a wax-sealed letter and said:
"Lord Gawain, the Young Wolf Master asked me to give this to you. He asked you to wait until you arrive at White Castle before opening it."
Gao Wen took the letter with some doubts, raised his hand to weigh it, and thought there should be only a piece of letter paper and nothing else inside.
For some reason, when Gao Wen received the letter, he suddenly felt a strong sense of irritability and uneasiness in his heart, and this feeling drove him to open the letter.
But because the young master had told him to wait until he arrived at White Castle before opening it, he forced himself to hold back. He put the letter away and told the knight:
"Speed up the troops and get to White Castle as soon as possible!"
The knight immediately took the order and left.
Gawain was left alone in the captain's cabin, staring blankly at Storm's End outside the window.

In the spiritual world, a giant whale with an incomparable body and a white spiral horn on its head was wandering above a ruin, relying on the endless waves it had summoned.
And on the back of the giant whale stood the white mask that had been away from Mozo a while ago.
At this moment, the white mask was looking at the ruins under the giant whale with emotion. That was not just a simple ruin, it was the remnant of the war between gods!
But White Mask was unable to identify which relic of the war of gods it was, and there was no record of it in the notes left to him by the founder of the courtyard.
As mentioned above, if you encounter a place that is difficult to cross both on the ground and in the air, you can try to summon the Void Whale.
Offer the other person the crossroads in your dream, and you can ask him or her to take you there.
The crossroads in dreams is a rare mystical item. It mainly requires extraordinary people with the nightmare path to find a way to bring a crossroads representing the divergence of destinies into the real world in other people’s dreams.
For most people, this thing is basically useless except that it is rare, and it is very difficult to find and preserve, so it is quite rare and little-known.
But White Mask didn't expect that this thing would be the Void Whale's favorite snack.
Fortunately, he is a Sequence 2 miracle maker. As long as the conditions are met, any miracle can be accomplished. Naturally, he can also use miracles to obtain a crossroads in his dream that is nothing special except that it is rare.
It was also with the help of the Void Whale that he was able to smoothly pass through many strange places that even surprised him.
For example, there is a place full of volcanoes and lava, where in addition to the deadly heat and magma, there are countless corrupted creatures whose bodies are on the verge of destruction but not yet destroyed, and a complete huge oval ruins surrounded by them.
White Mask didn't know what that was, but his inspiration told him that those things were very tricky.
And in the spiritual world, there are many such places.
White Mask came here to look for something, but he didn't have time to waste on those weird things.
Soon, the Void Whale delivered the White Mask to his destination - a huge and ruined temple.
Looking at the collapsed stone statues and carvings in the temple, White Mask finally confirmed that this was the destination of his trip - the disappeared Temple of Perseus.
Immediately, he grabbed a small crossroads covered with mud and dew from the void and fed it to the Void Whale. After the other party swallowed the increasingly larger crossroads in one gulp, it sprayed water happily.
The White Mask waited until the Void Whale left before turning around and stepping into the ruined temple.
Walking through the sloping corridor, White Mask came to a closed and ordinary wooden door. Looking at the wooden door in front of him, even an angel like White Mask hesitated for many times before gritting his teeth and pushing the door open.
There was no frills or miracles. In just the moment of pushing the door open, the White Mask left the spirit world and arrived outside the spirit world which was rumored to be used to exile gods!
He wants to find a key, a key to open the prison!

In the main world of Storm's End, the time has come to the second day, and today is the day when Mozo and the Queen will officially meet.
It was also the day when the old fox prepared to assassinate the Duke of Protectorate!
121 Assassination of the Protector of the Country (3k)
In order to show their sincerity, the two queens did not bring too many soldiers, only the royal guards accompanied them.
However, for the Queen of Sequence One, the number of soldiers really doesn’t have much impact. But attitude is attitude, and whether it is useful or not is another matter.
In front of the gate of Wind's End Castle, Mozo was there early to welcome the arrival of the two queens.
Looking at the large number of nobles behind the queen, Mozo's eyes flashed with disappointment. The saying that nobility equals combat power is very appropriate in this world.
After all, nobles are basically extraordinary people. The nobility of a noble is largely determined by what means the noble has and what level he can reach.
The demigod family, the angel family, and the unattainable holy family, these are what the nobles dream of.
The appearance of a large number of high-level nobles basically means a large number of high-level extraordinary people.
This was a significant obstacle to Mozo's plan.
But Mozo immediately put aside his disappointment and instead embraced expectations from the bottom of his heart, because the supporting role this time was the famous Heather Fox!
Mozo believed in the old fox's abilities.
Don't think that he could easily manipulate various countries and the old fox in the past. In fact, if Mozo hadn't been very open-minded, he would have had nothing to worry about and he also had the Wuxiang Courtyard and Dream Opera in his hands.
It's hard to tell who will play whom. You have to know that many things basically depend on how well you grasp the intelligence.
For example, in a battle, if you know when it will rain heavily tomorrow but the other side doesn’t, this is a huge advantage. Afterwards, as long as the gap between the two sides is not too outrageous, it is basically obvious who will win and who will lose.
The Wuxiang Courtyard established by Mozo is the trump card that allows him to know the "heavy rain" in advance.
The nine people in the Wuxiang Courtyard who never interfered and only witnessed were very good sources of intelligence.
What's more, apart from the Formless Courtyard, the countless dream operas that Mozo had experienced also brought him huge information advantages.
Coupled with people's almost blind self-confidence and composure in dreams, it is basically very easy to play with people who are at an information low point.
Thinking about it now, Mozo is a little scared. If he didn't have the Wuxiang Courtyard, if he didn't have the Dreamland Opera.
So what will happen
But fortunately, the best and worst thing about this world is that there is no if.
Therefore, Mozo, who knows the old fox's strength, trusts the old fox very much. He will definitely give Mozo and the audience a big "surprise" when people least expect it.
Thinking of this, Mozo felt more at ease.
Then he took the Queen and others to the venue that had been prepared long ago.
That's in front of the square of Storm's End.
Here, the two queens and Mozo all climbed onto the platform that Governor Morris had built long ago.
First, the Queen of Eternal Night used a loudspeaker to give a speech to the nobles and soldiers below.
Storm's End is a purely military fortress. There are no ordinary people here, only the army and extraordinary people. This is one of the main reasons why Mozo chose Storm's End.
"My fellow northerners, I am Isabelle, Queen of Loran, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, and the only legitimate leader of the Andals..."
Queen Yongye was speaking in front of the stage, while Mozo and Queen Dawn were standing at a later position, waiting quietly.
At the same time, Mozo was also guessing in his mind what the old fox would do.
Mozo thought that if it were him, he would definitely choose a time when everyone was relaxed and attack an important target other than himself first to conceal his true purpose and draw most of the enemy's forces away from the real target.
So here is the important one, enough to attract most people's attention...
Mozo raised his eyebrows and looked at the Queen Dawn beside him. Dawn, sensing Mozo's gaze, turned around and gave a gentle smile in return.
Are they going to use the Queen to attract attention first? But what kind of actions would make it possible for a Sequence One to be "killed"
The other person still looks the same as when he first met him. This is also the characteristic of the eternal monarch. One is always young, one is always young, and one is always mature.
However, Andal the Great, the first emperor of Loran, was not like the empress, who was in his prime. Instead, he was a teenager, a middle-aged man, and an old man.
Youth is full of energy, middle-aged people are always enterprising, and old people are always steady.
He was a very capable and courageous hero, but what is puzzling is that such a hero died in unclear circumstances.
They were clearly eternal rulers who cycled through three age groups, but unexpectedly, three of them died suddenly in the palace one after another during the heyday of the empire.
Speaking of sudden death, the Queen's uncle, the former Emperor Loran, also died inexplicably in the Fog City Palace.
Remember that in the history of Loran, such strange things occasionally happened
Mozo had found this difficult to understand before, but now he thought, maybe it was the Hesir who did it? And they might use the same method to deal with the queen
No, that's not quite right. If the Hesirs could do this, they wouldn't be in such a bad state after so many years.
But if that’s the case, how can they make people believe that they really want to attack the Queen
If it's not the Queen, who else could it be
While thinking, Mozo looked at the old duke in the audience. Could it be you, old boy? !
The other party also noticed Mozo's gaze. Unlike the Queen's doting, the old Duke looked at Mozo with complicated eyes. Mozo could understand this. After all, the old Duke was a staunch anti-Cromwell party.
Now that he suddenly knew that Cromwell was a royalist like him, he must have mixed feelings.
But to Mozo's surprise, the Duke didn't know why, but all of a sudden, the complexity in his eyes disappeared, and only one strong emotion remained - hatred! The hatred that made him want to eat the wolf cub alive!
Mozo could only be confused by this.
He didn't remember how he had offended the old duke. At least as Mozo, he not only hadn't offended him, but he had even saved his granddaughter!
But this is not important. If the other party wants to attack you, that's great. It's a good opportunity for me to avenge the burning of my collection of dolls!
Anyway, the opponent's real target is him, so he can't fight to the death with an angel. But for the sake of realism, he will definitely disgust this old bastard!
Hahahaha, this is awesome!
It was also at this time that Queen Yongye finally recounted everything that had happened before.
After roughly talking about Cromwell's great achievements in those years.
Queen Yongye turned around and looked at Mozo. Looking at Mozo, who was taller than her, a lot of tenderness flashed in Queen Yongye's eyes.
That's not love, that's pampering for the younger generation.
The Queen would not fall in love with anyone other than Cromwell, but she showed endless love to his only "offspring" Mozo.
The only thing that made the Queen feel pity and regret was that Mozo was not her child.
Seeing Mozo, who was as good as he was back then, countless emotions flashed through Queen Yongye's eyes, but in the end, they all turned into a gentle smile.
The knight lady in the audience also stepped onto the stage at some point, holding a luxurious long sword decorated with various precious gems in her hand. It was a ceremonial sword used exclusively by the royal family.
It is a ceremonial vessel used by successive emperors of Lorran to confer titles on their subjects.
It is a national weapon that has been passed down from generation to generation from Emperor Andal to this day.
