Chapter 382 On the way
Corian and his five-member team advanced quickly towards Redberg. Along the way, passing a wide river. The water was clear and the river bank was dazzling and bright, making people feel very comfortable.
This river originates from the hills in the central Sicily and flows to the southern sea. Most of the rivers on Sicily are divided into this way. Water vapor is carried to the top of the mountain by the sea breeze. When it is cold, it turns into cumulonimbus clouds and lands on the hillside. Then it gathers along the valley into a river and flows to the sea again.
Heidelberg is located on an alluvial plain formed at the end of the river, which means that along this river, you can go directly to Heidelberg.
There are many aquatic fish in the river, which can provide sufficient food and do not have to worry about water sources.
The horse's hooves trampled into the mud on both sides of the river, forming a crescent-shaped pit. There was a lot of rain in June. Obviously, the river had flooded not long ago, causing the roads next to the river to be covered with mud.
In the past years, in this case, people would usually clean the road, or people would do flood control before heavy rain, and keep river flooding within a certain range.
But now, no one is caring about these trivial matters. There are no restrictions on rivers, roads, and sludge. There are weeds growing in the sludge. There are still several months before the next winter, but the weeds on the road are already as tall as half a person.
However, in just one year, nature began to show its powerful power, wanting to completely erase the proof of human existence.
The surrounding scenery shows a barbaric meaning. If the Black Death lasts longer, perhaps this place may really return to the wilderness and become a strange natural place again.
However, a group of uninvited guests suddenly disrupted the process.
The knight on the horse passed through the weedlands, and the green juice was sputtered by the horse's hooves and applied to the knight's leg armor. Unknown wild insects flew everywhere, making a serene sound.
Entering the grassland, the speed of progress was slowed down much faster than expected. Corion frowned and said, "The situation here is more troublesome than we thought. If we look at it like this, it will take at least two days to reach Redberg."
Kothar lowered his head and spitted thick phlegm, and said in a tight voice: "Well, there was a road here, but I didn't expect it to be like this now. Damn it, we can't change the road, unless we can cross that river."
Rawls stopped and looked around. On the left was a towering hillside and on the right was an endless river. No matter how you look at it, the road under your feet was convenient for you to move forward.
"Oh, there is no way. Just slow down, but what I'm worried about is someone attacking. In this environment, if someone is hunted down, it will definitely be very difficult to escape."
Hearing Rawls' words, Corion frowned. This local man did have good combat experience and was also very clever. Corion valued this at the beginning, so he joined the Dragon Invisible Army.
The situation at this moment is indeed as he said. If you just rush on like this, it would not be a big problem to spend more time, you are afraid of being attacked suddenly.
The terrain here is very unfavorable to them. If someone chases them, they are likely to be caught up.
Although the strength of the Dragon Yin Army is strong, it cannot fight against enemies that are far more than that of themselves. If they are caught up by the enemy soldiers of the brigade, the situation will definitely be very dangerous.
After thinking about it, he spoke in a deep voice: "Let's change the way."
"Hmm?" Hearing Corion's words, Rawls showed a puzzled expression on his face, and then said, "But Captain, we have no other choice now. If we want to change the way, we have to retreat a little. Do we have to retreat now?"
"No, it's not backing." Corion shook his head, then pointed to the hillside next to him and said, "We walked from the back of the hillside. Although the terrain there is difficult to move forward, the vision is very wide. If anything goes wrong, we can also discover it in time."
When the members of the Long Yin Army team heard this, they nodded. They had enough of these sticky grass beaches. Although they could walk on the hillside a little more windy, they were much better than they are now.
So, the Long Yin Army and the other five walked towards the hillside on the left, and the war horses walked on the sloped low mountain, and their speed further slowed down. If they encountered any situation, they would drag for a long time.
However, it is not much different from the situation in the grass beach below. There is a cool breeze blowing on the mountain, and at least the team members' mood has improved a lot.
Behind Corian and the others, the robbers quickly chased into the grass beach. Corian and the others had no trace of it along the way, so the robbers could easily keep up with them.
"Go ahead quickly, brothers, those bastards are right ahead of us, hurry up and tear them apart." The robber leader, Scarface roared, then raised his scimitar and rushed forward.
Fifty robbers followed closely behind, each of them exuding a cold murderous intent. They had ferocious expressions and cruel aura.
At this moment, the robber team was less than twenty miles away from the Longyin team.
I walked forward for a while along the hillside, and the sky gradually became darker, but the vision ahead suddenly became wider.
The distance between the river and the hillside gradually increases, and some broad plains begin to appear in the middle. You can see that the grass beach below also appears sparse because of the open space.
A road covered by grass also appeared faintly and winded towards the distance.
Seeing this scene, Longyin's team was greatly energetic, and Carza said happily: "Oh, this scene reminds me of the prairie in my hometown. The flat grassland is most suitable for horses to gallop."
Corion was also very happy. He raised his whip and said loudly: "Okay, then we will rush down now and walk along the road. When it is evening, we will find a place to camp next to the river bank."
As he said that, he clamped his legs with his horse's belly, and the war horse accelerated his pace and walked down the hillside.
At this moment, Kothar, who was staying at the end of the team, suddenly said in panic: "No, captain, there are pursuers behind him!"
As soon as this sentence was spoken, the members of Longyin team immediately turned their heads and looked behind them.
I saw a group of faintly vague people suddenly appeared where they passed by not long ago. Because the two sides were too far apart, they could not see it very clearly, but it was enough for people to judge that the other party was coming for him.
