"Here, here, and here. ”

Mance pointed his finger at several slopes of the map, "These things have been found in these places, so I conclude that their nest is under the hill behind this glacial lake." ”

Li Ling looked over, and indeed these places were connected to a glacial lake, behind the glacial lake was a hill, and below was an unmarked area, I don't know what there was over there.

"If that's the case, then they must be hiding behind it. Snow said, "It seems that the group of guys is still very smart, and the only way to get to that hill is through this frozen lake, and there are icebergs on both sides, and there is no way around it!"

"Yes. Li Ling nodded, he was also sure that the strange ghosts and ghouls should be behind the hill, and it was not too far from here, considering the weather, it was probably less than three days away.

"Lord Crane, what are you going to do?" Mance looked at Li Lingyi, who thought for a moment, "You can't act rashly, you must send scouts to investigate first." ”

The cost of action for an army of 10,000 people is too high, and if you find the wrong place directly and pull it out, it will take at least a week between going back and forth, and the food consumed in this week is also huge, and the cost of this kind of trial and error is too great to be easily decided.

"My lord, I'm willing to investigate for myself!" Snow immediately volunteered, he had been most concerned about the matter of strangers from the beginning, so now he was the first to do anything.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, and then take the previous guards, give you the best horses, go and go back quickly!"

Li Lingyi said that it takes three days to walk, but if you ride a horse, it is much faster, and you can even go back and forth in a day under the speed, but the horse must not be able to stand this situation, so there is no need to be in such a hurry.

As for letting Snow go, it doesn't matter, after all, this is a probe, not a fight, and it's okay to run back after a glance. The Wraiths don't have any mounts available at the moment, and at most they can shoot their guns in the back.

So Snow immediately went out of the big tent, and Mance did not hesitate to see this, and went out, found the best of the ten savages, and asked them to go with Snow, after all, they were more familiar with this terrain and would not get lost.

A total of more than 30 people rode the fastest horse and headed straight north, and soon the figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

At this time, Li Lingyi also talked with a group of savage generals including Mance about what he wrote in his letter before.

He explained the doubts sincerely, and once again assured that his words were not empty promises, and even the university scholars in the territory had begun to look for suitable places for the wild people to live in the future.

According to the habits of these wildlings, they will choose a good location in the north so that they can move to live. After all, after so many years, savages have become accustomed to cold weather in their genes. In this case, if you suddenly ask them to move to live in the hot and humid areas of the south, I am afraid that not only will they not live well, but they will have some allergies and even infectious diseases due to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil.

The leader of Mance also understood this, so Li Lingyi promised exactly what he wanted, and after such a long talk from morning to night, he was a little relieved and had a little more hope for the future. As for whether the Night's Watch would disagree?

Not to mention anything else, even if the army stationed outside now, even if the Night's Watch and the Savage Legion combined, the probability of defeating the former would definitely not exceed one in ten. This is the gap between quantity and quality, which is insurmountable.

As for whether Li Lingyi will not keep his promise in the future, in fact, Mance doesn't care at this time. If you don't comply, you can slaughter all the savages with this army, so there is not much point in lying.

Thinking like this, Mance naturally made Li Lingyi very happy, what he was most worried about was that Mance was unwilling to cooperate, but now that he has come into contact, the latter can be regarded as reasonable, and his personality is quite bold, and he is not a simple-minded and muscular barbarian who is rumored in the hinterland.

In fact, any reasonable person can understand that a barbarian is not a leader of an organization at all, and even if he could, it would be short-lived, and he would soon be replaced. Moreover, Mance was not a pure savage himself, he was also a night watchman in the past. Later, he was wounded on a patrol and rescued by a savage woman, but when he returned to the Great Wall, he was insulted, so he escaped and joined the Savage organization.

Because he was very intelligent and upright, he quickly gained a high reputation among the wildlings, and was called the "King of the Outside of the Fortress", and finally succeeded in becoming the leader of the wildlings.

From this point of view, the savages are relatively simple. Just imagine, if the wildlings were particularly suspicious, would they elect a former night watchman to be their leader? And it is precisely because of this that Mance has a deeper affection for the wildlings, and even more disdain for the intrigues of the night watch.

Of course, these are all digressions, Li Lingyi and Mance talked from morning to night, until three o'clock in the morning the next day, and finally waited until Snow and the soldiers rushed back.

But judging from their embarrassed appearance and the number of people, it is clear that this trip was not an easy one.

"We were discovered. ”

In the tent, Snow looked a little sad, his already curly hair looked even more messy at this time, and the armor on his body also had several scratches, dirty.

"There are ghouls underneath that hill. He continued, "We were very hidden, but for some reason, all of a sudden, those guys realized our existence and came out and attacked us. So we fled, and the things couldn't catch up with us, but a guy with long hair threw two spears and cut off the front legs of two horses. ”

"The two horses were in the middle of the group, and as soon as they fell, they knocked down a few of them, and by this time the ghouls had already rushed over, and we cut down some with all our might, and then got on the horses of our companions, and we escaped. But......" he sighed sadly, "six Flagless Brothers and two Savage Brothers died. ”

After he finished speaking, the people in the tent were silent for a moment to express their silence, and it lasted for a few minutes before Li Lingyi spoke, "Don't have any psychological burden, Snow. "They all died for humanity, they were warriors and heroes, and we will remember them." ”

"That's right. Mance nodded heavily, "We savages believe that if we die well, we will be happy in the afterlife. So, don't be sad, what we have to do is kill all those things!
