Chapter 679: Keep going
Although this balanced specialty makes the Red Country not have obvious weaknesses like other countries, it has no relative advantages. Whenever there is a situation in which other countries have an advantage, the red country will also fall into a complete disadvantage.
Moreover, those who are summoned have different abilities, so it will be more difficult to cooperate than other countries. This may also be one of the reasons why the Red Country has been at the bottom all year round.
Of course, the high-level leaders of the Red Nation are also clear about this. But it is impossible to change this state. Even if the Red Nation changes its strategy and cultivates its own characteristics, I am afraid that it will not be able to surpass other countries in the end.
Since you can't surpass it, it's better to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and use the advantage that you don't have weaknesses to increase your own victory chips. It's just that, so far, the Red Country is still at the bottom every year.
Time passed quickly in the lively exchange between Zhuang Xiaoyuan and the others, and the distance gradually narrowed in their play. After about another five or six days, Zhuang Xiaoyuan's carriage finally arrived at the border city where the Red Country and the Yellow Country met.
If you continue along the border between the two countries, you will see the entrance to the central area.
However, after leaving the last border city, it is no longer a safe area of the Red Country, and there is a distance of almost two days between the Red Country and the central area, which is not necessarily dangerous, but it is not guaranteed to be absolutely safe, because this area is not part of the territory of the Red Country.
The central area, located in the most central area of the continent. It is said that the central area contains all the terrain that has appeared on the mainland, whether it is the sea or the hills, whether it is deep mountains or snow, it can be found in the central area.
Because of this strange all-terrain phenomenon, and because it is the center of the encirclement of all countries, the central area is the site of this historic battle for the crown.
Although the central region is located in the center of the continent, surrounded by all countries. However, the central area is not an area that can be accessed at will, this central area is wrapped in a very powerful magical barrier, and it is impossible to find a random direction to enter it.
To enter the central area, you must pass through four magic doors located in different directions in the central area. And one of the magic gates is located near the land of red and yellow.
If the border between the two countries is extended, this gate may be right on the border between the two countries. Therefore, every year to go to the central region, the people of the Red Country must come to this border city on the border between the Red and Yellow Kingdoms, and from this city they will go to the Magic Gate.
And Huang Zhiguo is basically in this state, but they also set off from the border cities of their own country. Moreover, the border cities of their country are not far from this side, and as long as you stand on the city walls and look at them from a distance, you can see each other's cities.
Stayed overnight in the last border city for the last resupply. Zhuang Xiaoyuan and his party finally walked in the direction of the central area under the protection of the guards who had been waiting for a long time in the city, and entered the unowned area outside the border city.
Because of the uninhabited and unsafe area that has been formed between the various countries and the central region. So, every year the summoners who come here have special troops to protect them as they go to the central region.
Basically, there will be no serious incidents in the area that is two days away. For hundreds of years, the battle for the crown has been held every year, and the number of summoners who have been seriously injured in attacks in this area can be counted on two hands.
For a tournament that has lasted for hundreds of years and gone through hundreds of times, this single-digit danger is basically negligible. If it weren't for the cautious attitude of the countries, there would be no need for such a guard to exist, after all, the summoner himself has the protection of the brave.
"Teacher Helena, it's getting late, should we find a place to camp today? Roads here at night are not as safe as during the day. "The summoner who has been escorting this competition from the border city since the morning has been on the road except for a little rest for half an hour at noon.
As the sun began to set in the west and the orange sunset spread across the sky, Schwager Parridge, the captain of the protection team, took control of the horses under him and came to the side of Helena Britz, the academy teacher who was driving the carriage, and gave advice.
"Well, it's almost time, it's almost night. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a small forest in front of the pass, and we'll rest there tonight. ”
Hearing Schwagger's proposal, Teacher Helena looked up at the sky and nodded in agreement. However, this side of the neighborhood is not suitable for camping, there is no place to block the wind, and there is no water source nearby.
A little further along, there was a wooded area, where Helena used to camp for the night when she used to lead the team, there was a small stream, and the woods that were not lush could also block the wind, and there was also a flat land in the forest that had been carved out before, which was just right for camping.
"Okay, I'm going to inform everyone to speed up, we must get there before dark. Although no trace of the monster has been found in the vicinity, the night is always more dangerous than the day. ”
Receiving Helena's answer, Schwager nodded and began to urge his horses to run towards his team. Once the location of the camp was decided, there was still a lot to do in the future, so Schwager had to make preparations a priority, while also getting the team up to speed.
As Schwager commanded his troops, the ten-man force and the protected wagon began to speed forward. I was going to get to the grove that Helena said before nightfall.
For the acceleration of the team, Zhuang Xiaoyuan and the others in the carriage also clearly felt it, but they didn't care. They are the participants in the competition, and they need to pay attention to this crown fight. The experienced teacher Helena will arrange everything on the way.
So, with the team speeding up with all their might, another hour of travel passed. Before the sun had set and the sky had not completely darkened, we finally arrived at the camping area that Teacher Helena had said.
Having successfully found the grove and a clearing near the creek in the grove, Schwager began to arrange for the team to prepare for camping, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there have been few incidents of summoners being injured in the past few hundred years, there have been many incidents of guards being injured. As the captain of the escort, Schwager still wants to avoid damage to his team if he can avoid it.
