  Please go ahead and provide the text you'd like me to translate. I'll return the translation in English.

  Julia's personal guards, Eli, Rosa and Felsis suddenly appeared in the room out of nowhere, startling Rain who quickly let go of Julia, awkwardly smiled and relieved his uneasy emotions.

  After breakfast, Rain said goodbye to Julia and others, and hurried away. Unconsciously, he wandered back to the old place on the half mountain waist of Luofeng Mountain, gazing into the distance. The direction of Luoxia Village was filled with rising smoke, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh again.

  After a long time, Rayne began to return, and on the way, he met Rus, Dakot, and Los who came face to face.

  "Rains, off to the old place again?" asked Ross with a meaningful tone, while Dakot and Russ smiled without saying anything.

  "Haha......" Lain smiled but didn't answer, nodding slightly towards them.

  "Rus big brother, is there something going on again today?" Raine looked at the three of them and finally his gaze fell on Rus, asking with a smile.

  "Haha, exactly! I just got the news that a batch of supplies heading to the military camp will pass through Luo Feng Mountain, we..." Rus smiled and said, the other two also had big smiles on their faces, excited beyond words.

  Ren fell into deep thought, and the other three looked at each other in confusion, unsure of what Ren meant. At this time, Ren's expression was serious, as if he was worried about something.

  "Ran, this is a rare opportunity. The number of brothers on Mount Luofeng has been increasing, but our supplies and equipment are in short supply." His eyes were wide with excitement as he spoke, his whiskers trembling with each word.

  "Haha, Captain Laine, what are you worried about? Didn't we also plunder their supplies the last few times?" Los said.

  Got it! The entire border area is under the control of the Str family, they have suffered several losses already, how can they still transport supplies to the military camp? Moreover, it's a remote 'cannon fodder' military camp, this doesn't make sense! Besides, Caesar's army is gathering outside the border, they are busy with their own affairs, how can...” Lain explained.

  "Raines, now that we're strong and powerful, can't we stop hiding in Luo Feng Mountain? Why don't we take the opportunity to march on the Cardy Town Garrison?" suggested Dako, who had been silent for half a day.

  "Haha, Dakota, are you missing the old familiar faces of Cardy Town? Haha!" Russ burst out laughing.

  "Rus, go away, I'm talking business." Dakota glared at Rus and said hastily, then the two of them started their endless argument again, with Los watching them with a smile.

  "Stop, stop, stop! Rus and Dakota, you two shouldn't quarrel. Dakota's proposal isn't bad, it can be considered!" Rayne dissuaded.

  Ren's words left Los and them all stunned, at this time Dakota rushed to the still dazed Rus with a triumphant smile.

  At noon, the scorching sun shone on the earth. On the way from Cardi Town to the military camp, a team of horses and men marched along the main road. After passing through the Luofeng Mountain area where bandits often appeared, they stopped their advance.

  The man at the front of the team rode a tall black horse, his whole body was covered in silver armor, with a long sword hanging from his waist, looking around, a puzzled expression on his face.

  "Dang...dang..." At this time, the sound of horseshoes came in waves.

  "Colonel Redmond!" A urgent cry came from the rear of the troops, and soon a lightly armored cavalry soldier hastily arrived at the front of the troops.

  "What's the situation like around Mount Luofeng?" Redmond asked anxiously.

  "Colonel Redmond, no signs of bandits were found within a radius of ten miles." The soldier dismounted his horse and rushed to Colonel Redmond's horse, saluting with a fist and reporting the situation quickly.

  Not long after, the sound of horseshoes came again, and the light cavalry who went to investigate reported that there was no trace of bandits in this area.

  What's going on? Did these bandits find out about our plan? Impossible! Demond took off his helmet, saying with a huff, his brow furrowed in puzzlement.

  Redmond, the former captain of the Lost City Guard of the Kaster Empire, led his guards to join the Ster family at the outbreak of the civil war in the empire. After more than two months of turmoil in the empire, the Ster family's forces now control the southern region of the original Kaster Empire, with its capital in Kusback City, and the Ster Empire was formally established.

  Reidmon is currently the commander of the fifth legion of the Str Empire. Due to the rampant banditry in the vicinity of the Strait of Gorge, particularly around Luo Feng Mountain, where multiple transport convoys have been attacked, he has been dispatched to the area to assist Prince Cardore with the suppression of bandits.

  "Regrettably, I should have known better than to spare your life back then, Redmond," said Rain Green, filled with deep remorse.

  "Colonel Redmond, what are we..." one of the soldiers asked.

  "Set up camp at the foot of Mount Luo, send out scouts to gather information on Mount Luo, keep the main force in place and hidden, and...". Redmond issued orders quickly after careful consideration.

  At this time, fifty miles away from Cardy Town, near Ludang Mountain, Rayn led more than 2,000 fully armed soldiers to surround the area.

  "Renn, back in your hometown, what are your thoughts?" asked Russ, who was standing beside Renn with a smile.

  "Hmm..." Reyn laughed but didn't answer.

  "If we hadn't gone to support the border town back then, this would have been our military camp by now, haha!" Dakota laughed.

  "Haha, yeah! If you guys hadn't gone to Luo Feng Mountain back then, I would have become the boss of Luo Feng Mountain long ago, haha!" Los said.

  "Hah, Los, you're wrong. In the past, you were a bandit on Luo Feng Mountain, but now you're a heroic knight-errant. We are protectors of the local people, we are..." Dako retorted.

  "Dakota, to be honest, over the past decade or so, our bandits from Luo Feng Mountain have had a really good reputation among the local villagers... let bygones be bygones." Luos let out a long sigh, shaking his head and smiling bitterly, as if there was something he couldn't bring himself to say.

  "Ah, your actions back then are exactly what we detest. Forcing yourselves on the local women, massacring the villages of Luofeng Mountain, and besieging the village of Luoxia, where the villagers trembled with fear."

  "Brother Lu, calm down, I'll explain everything clearly later. It's really unjust, sigh... another long sigh, full of helplessness."

  At this moment, a hurried footsteps came, and then a figure quickly appeared in front of Lain and others.
