181. The Unavoidable Battle I
Under Rena's escort, Sean and the others traveled very fast.
This road was personally led by Rena to kill the cavalry troops, so at the moment she was just walking back, and all the resting places along the way Rena knew very well. This would save a lot of trouble, so even though it took two days to rest in the Wild Lands before setting off, it took less than two days to rush all the way back, and it was almost to the Windchaser Tribe's trading point.
The Wind Chasing Tribe is actually very large in terms of geographical advantages, if it were not for the development of the Wild Land is too deformed, this place should actually be regarded as the most valuable trade point in the entire Rift Valley region. As for Sean and the others, as long as they arrived here, it meant that it would only take about half a day for them to rush back to the outermost part of the Gap Rift, and then return to the Gap Rift, and then it would only take another month to return to Panda.
There, Alfred and his army must have been ready to take over.
And now, there is only about half a day's trip left before the Wind Chasing Tribe.
According to Rena, that place has been completely destroyed by Clov. After a fire, hundreds of wooden stakes were nailed to the corpses, and it is said that it also caused a small wave of demonic beasts in the Great Rift Valley, and several nearby trade points were damaged to a certain extent, so the current Windchase Tribe trade point is actually a ruin, and it is completely impossible to rebuild it in a short time.
It is precisely because of this that in Rena's eyes, this place is undoubtedly safe.
At this point, it was already noon.
It was the hottest time in the entire wilderness, and Sean and the others rested in a shady place. The scale of the temporary camp was not large, mainly because this backlog was not really large, and it was already quite crowded with only two hundred cavalry before. And now, with the addition of nearly 100 people such as Sean, Clov, Cecilia and Cecilia Guard, it will naturally only become more crowded.
And even if there is such a sunny place, it is only to avoid direct sunlight, and the continuous heat wave on the earth cannot completely offset it. As a result, water becomes very dependent, but everyone knows that the most scarce thing in the wilderness is water. At this moment, in order to give priority to ensuring the drinking water of Clov, Andre and other wounded soldiers, the work that was supposed to wash and cool down the horses could naturally only be interrupted, so these war horses looked a little weak at the moment.
In fact, back in the day ago. Sean and the others are already facing the embarrassment of running out of food and running out of water.
If it weren't for this imminent problem, Sean and the others would certainly not just leave for a two-day rest and return immediately, no matter how urgent they were, they should at least wait until Clauf and Andre's injuries stabilized. Rushing on the road like this is naturally extremely detrimental to Andre and Clov's injury recovery. Perhaps the injury, which might have healed in a month or two, would have been exacerbated by the bumps along the way. It may take half a year or even a year to get better.
But compared to the slow recovery from the injury. Death from starvation or thirst is naturally an even worse problem.
So, the whole army immediately hit the road in such a situation. Now, it's not far from the Windchaser Tribe, and if they were any faster, they might be able to reach the Windchaser Tribe at nightfall, where there might be no food. However, there is plenty of water, and when the time comes, everyone can replenish their drinking water and rest again, and then find a way to solve the problem of food.
At the very least, it is necessary to find food that can supply the entire army for about half a month. Sean and the others rushed into the Gap Rift.
"Your Excellency." Rena came over with a kettle and handed it to Sean, "Drink some water, you haven't eaten or drunk for a day." ”
Sean gave up, turned his head to look at Cecilia, and said, "It's okay, I can still hold on, I'm about to arrive at the Windchaser Tribe." …… Give this to Cecilia, who is weaker and needs food and water more than we do. ”
"Yes." Rena nodded, then handed the jug to Cecilia as she pulled out a white handkerchief from her body.
The handkerchief was not large, and because it was wrapped, it looked the size of a palm, and it was extremely dazzling compared to Rena's hand, which had turned dark brown from blood and dust.
I saw Rena carefully open the handkerchief, revealing the contents inside.
It was a couple of pieces of air-dried bacon that had been cut into long strips.
"Let's have a bit." Rena spoke, "This is the essence of the hind leg meat of the Adisaurus, at least it can satisfy hunger." ”
Yadilong, that is a subspecies of the earthly dragon, the earthly dragon and the earthly dragon have an essential difference, the former is a herbivorous monster specially used for baggage transportation, although its value is equivalent to cattle and horses, but its value is much higher than that of cattle and horses, because the gravitational force can be as high as several tons, and it is generally not a large enough chamber of commerce, and there will be no earthly dragon. The Yadisaurus is a subspecies of the Earth Dragon, but its size and other aspects are much smaller than the Earth Dragon, and the most important thing is that the Yadi Dragon has a strong territorial concept and is an omnivorous monster with strong aggression.
The hind leg meat essence of the Ardisaurus is the most essential part of the Ardisaurus, which is extremely rich in a variety of substances needed by the human body, and can also quickly recover physical strength. On the battlefield, air-dried meat made from the hind leg meat essence of the Ardisaurus is the best battlefield food, and it is also the second life that the generals rely on to survive in the fierce and brutal battlefield. Basically, the hind leg meat essence of a Yadisaurus can only be made into about ten dried meat similar to ham sausages at most, and the maximum limit is to supply two soldiers.
"What about you?" Cecilia saw the five or six legs about the size of ham and sausage wrapped in her handkerchief, and immediately understood what they were.
Rena and the others must have hunted an Ardisaurus here in the Savage Lands, and then they had these few pieces of hind leg meat essence.
"Now that the Wind Chasers Tribe is borderland, as long as you can get there, you don't have to worry about running out of food." Rena smiled and shoved the air-dried meat into Cecilia's hand, "If we are fast enough, we can get there at night, and not only the problems of water and food can be solved." You can even take a comfortable shower. Speaking of this, Rena finally showed a hint of feminine sorrow: "I haven't bathed in months, and I feel that if I wash now, I can probably dye all the rivers black." ”
"I think I'm pretty much the same." Cecilia glanced at her situation, and her little face was almost wrinkled, "Since following Sean, I feel that this kind of thing is gradually moving away from me. Before this, I had never imagined what it would be like if one day I didn't take a shower. ”
"Ha Lu Ha." Rena laughed heartily, "I'm better than you, I was a mercenary before. It is common not to take a bath for ten days and half a month. …… But this is the first time in such a long time. ”
Maybe it was after following Rena for so long, but it was the first time to see Rena showing such a hearty laugh, and all the light cavalry were stunned for a moment, but at the same time, their mood was inexplicably much more relaxed. The gloomy dark clouds that originally weighed on everyone's hearts. At this moment, it quietly dispersed, and everyone suddenly rose up with hope and desire for the future life. They have even begun to sing the most common marching ballads on the mainland.
Sean looked at the people in front of him. The corners of his mouth also involuntarily raised slightly.
In his eyes, the morale of this army was gradually recovering, including the Cecilia Guard, which could be considered completely disabled. This kind of ability is indeed only possible with armed knights, and Sean has discovered that the influence of halo skills in this world is more obvious and powerful than in the game. He even began to suspect that the heroic characters in the previous game who had countless NPCs responded to each other when they ascended to the heights, and I am afraid that each of them had their own hidden aura skills.
If we had to face them in this world, how terrible would they be?
Maybe in terms of personal combat power. Sean is confident that he can crush some of them, but if he is on a head-to-head battlefield......
Sean thought for a moment and began to break out in a cold sweat.
Two hours of rest wasn't long, but it wasn't short, but for Sean and others, apart from the likes of Clov, Andre and a few other wounded, it was enough for everyone else. It's just that because of the horses, Sean also obviously found that the light cavalry unit led by Rena has a relatively obvious decline in combat effectiveness, after all, as the biggest reliance of the cavalry is naturally the war horse, and if the war horse is weak, then it is equivalent to weakening the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.
At this point, in fact, Rena is similar.
Rena's strength must rely on mounts to be able to fully exert herself, and if she doesn't have mounts, she can only exert one-third of her combat power at most. And now that Rena has become an armed knight, I am afraid that her strength will be weakened because of the single battle, and she can only bully and bully professions such as assassins and archers, and she must be in a riding state.
"Looks like we're going to have to build a piece of gear for Rena." While thinking so, Sean also followed the army on the road again.
The rest of the journey seemed relatively dull, because there were no eye-opening monsters or creatures along the way, which made everyone who was still thinking of getting some game food a little helpless. However, as the wind chasing tribe trade point got closer and closer, everyone's mood gradually became more relaxed.
It was only that soon, the relaxed mood in everyone's hearts was replaced by a gloomy mood.
Sean and the others were less than five hundred meters away from the Wind Chaser Tribe trade point, because it was not yet completely night, and they could even see the entire Wind Chaser Tribe burned into charred ruins.
However, between Sean and the Windchaser Tribe, there is a force in the cross.
A whole force of more than two thousand people.
And the person standing at the front of this army is a wolf! (To be continued......)
PS: I'm really sorry, I'm still in a bad state today, and I wrote this chapter for almost three hours. In the case of ensuring quality, I can only make two changes today, please forgive me. …… I'll be able to adjust to my condition as soon as possible, and I'm mainly worried about a personal matter these days, but I'm sure I'll be able to make a decision soon.
