Chapter 264: Recruitment (2) The words owed will be made up tomorrow!
Jania's guilt was finally freed when she saw Mrs. Karpas again, and after leaving that day, Mrs. Karpas had taken refuge in an abandoned building, but luckily the dwarven warriors had not searched her, saving her from murder. After the dwarven warriors withdrew from the city, she went to a friend's house...... Her friend's body lay in front of the door of the chamber, as if she was dying and wanted to cover the door of the chamber. Luckily, the dwarves apparently didn't expect a secret room to be the only one who survived.
The mother and daughter escaped from the royal capital with the baby and the pair of siblings who had escaped by chance, and traveled all the way to the border with the Odidgar Empire with other refugees.
The original plan was to escape into the Otiga Empire, and they were all physically strong. However, the number of refugees was intimidating to the officials of the Otiga Empire, who set up a border to stop the refugees and built the camp.
The big nobles have a lot of money in their pockets, so naturally they will not live in this refugee camp. However, under the leadership of a few small and minor nobles, a refugee management committee was formed in the camp to claim to be the guardian of the refugees' survival, health, and bread rations. However, it is undeniable that as the camps have been established over time, the image of the refugee management committees has become more and more suspicious, and they have gradually become parasitic in the eyes of the people. They are trying to extract the last remaining wealth from the refugees under various names; They withhold relief supplies and even sell people - reselling relief supplies is no longer satisfying the appetites of some people.
As usual, Jenia came to the aid station to pick up food. The aid station was still overcrowded, and a middle-aged man wearing an armband was maintaining order in the long queue in front of the aid station.
Jania and a few familiar people had just lined up at the door, and just as they were chirping to pass the time, a short, well-dressed middle-aged man came to the front of the group...... Jeania felt that it was their chirping energy that attracted him, and at first they thought that this man wanted to take advantage of the women.
"Listen to me,"
He said, "Why are you here to get all that relief food that barely starves to death?" I know there is a place where you can have a stable job, a warm place to live, and enough food. If it works well. and will be able to give you land. ”
Is there such a good thing?
Everyone felt suspicious, because many people had been deceived by similar lies before, and their whereabouts were unknown.
"You don't have to worry and don't take the words of the Refugee Management Committee. The recruitment was announced by a decree personally issued by His Majesty Xià, Emperor of the Otiga Empire. The recruitment location is at the town hall. It's not some random place. ”
"Where?" Someone asked boldly.
"On the Cordillera Plateau. You all know Keith. Lord McKennaro? He was there as a police chief. Many of you came with him, and now you have settled in the Cordillera Plateau, and you are living well. The short, middle-aged man said.
Guise. McKennaro is a household name in the Alpine Nation. But whether this thing is true or not, everyone is a little skeptical.
"How do we get there so far away?" Someone asked again.
"You can go to the harbor, and the Imperial Navy will transport you there......," the short, middle-aged man said more.
In the days that followed, rumors spread throughout the camp, and an underground organization dedicated to opposing the Refugee Management Committee confirmed that it was true, and that people had entered the city of Vannar and received clear assurances from the municipality. As a result, more and more people went to the staff sent by the city government to sign up, and Jeania was lucky enough to be the first batch of workers to be recruited. The second and third batches of recruitment have also begun, and the so-called 'Refugee Management Committee' has long been thrown aside......
****************
For most people, the morning symbolizes the start of a good day, but for Hathaway and others, it's the beginning of a terrible journey, especially in the jungle, where the feeling of dampness lingers like a nightmare, and only two magicians are at ease—it only takes a little magic to deal with the dampness.
However, rest is still effective for everyone, except for Maxim. Outside of Hansen, almost everyone seemed to be in good spirits.
The four soldiers quickly put away the camping equipment, and Murong Xianxian put them all into the storage ring, which would save everyone's body, and the soldiers took the clear mountain spring water from the nearby mountain stream, and after everyone washed their faces and rinsed their mouths, they hastily finished the nutritious but not delicious breakfast before heading out on the road again.
Before leaving, Hathaway and Steyn. Cassel took out the map and examined it carefully, and the next journey would lead to the areas infested by underground dwarves - although they did not have a large presence in the Alpine kingdom, in this former country, they could encounter their patrols at any time and place, and this was very detrimental to their mission this time.
In order to conceal her figure, Hathaway equipped the crowd with her special camouflage uniform...... It's light to wear, but the fabric is very strong and breathable, and the surface is painted with camouflage patterns such as blades of grass and branches, so if you lie there and don't move, it's just seamless.
Maxim. Hansen's body was indeed a problem, but he didn't need someone to lead him forward for the time being, and Burliman was close to him, ready to lend a helping hand at any time. And after a night's rest, the speed of casual advancement has increased significantly.
Suddenly, there was a sound of branches shaking in the distance, and the ground began to tremble slightly, Hathaway and the others glanced at each other, and immediately rushed into the jungle next to the road, lying on the grass.
A group of underground dwarven knights riding large pangolins came in the direction of the path they had just walked, but they were lucky to be fast, otherwise they would have crashed head-on. The Great Pangolin Knights are a powerful class of the underground dwarves, and although there are only a dozen people in a team, in the event of a battle, Hathaway is not sure that they will be able to solve it all before they raise the alarm.
To be on the safe side, carefully wait for the patrol cavalry to go away. Just when everyone thought that the patrol cavalry would leave unharmed as before, the unimaginable happened. I saw that the group of dwarven knights who had been gradually moving away turned back again, and what was even more troublesome was that they stopped not far from Hathaway and the others.
Could it be that the underground dwarves have already discovered where they are hiding?
Hathaway's heart churned, if she were alone, she would have cast her magic to attack these underground races. However, she was not alone at the moment, and Hathaway had to think about the mission of this trip.
Hold your breath. Hathaway imagined places where it was possible to expose the target...... Footprints!
Hathaway thought of the biggest flaw. Because they were so close, their footprints would not disappear naturally, so they were noticed by the attentive underground dwarves. But judging from their looks, they don't seem to think how strict they are. So the mood of Hathaway and the others gradually relaxed.
Time passed especially slowly in the waiting. The dwarven knights searched for a while. If you don't know the essentials, you're ready to start again...... The leader of the squad made another round of inspections, and finally determined that there was really no flaw to be found. Only then did he lead the team slowly into the distance.
Looking at the figure that caused the patrol cavalry to go away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief...... In any case, they don't want to have a fight with the underground dwarves at this time, which will reveal their whereabouts and thus affect the completion of the mission.
After a quarter of an hour's rest, the group returned to the road, this time with greater caution. As if to prove that Hathaway's fears were not unfounded, several underground dwarf patrols were encountered along the way, but thankfully, Hathaway's group was cautious along the way, but they never encountered any more danger, and most of the patrols did not stop at all, quickly crossing their way to search.
The air was getting wet, and the river was not far from them. Following the sound of gurgling water, everyone quickened their pace and rushed. Hansen even forgot about his tiredness, and at this moment almost everyone longed to reach the river.
This is the Terera River at the foot of the Alps, like a gentle woman, quiet and abundant, standing by the Terella River, the fatigue and hardships along the way seem to turn into flowing water, washed away with the gurgling Terella River.
Hathaway quickly removed two leather charms from the storage ring...... A raft can seat eight people, and with their numbers, two rafts can sit very loosely. After blowing up the raft, it was sent into the river, and everyone stepped into it, and then they went down the river...... Seeing the riverbank retreat quickly beside them, everyone's mood improved, at least for now, they didn't need to avoid those branches.
They often walked by the river, and there were always times when their shoes were wet, and after four magical hours had passed, luck seemed to gradually drift away from them...... Suddenly, from behind a bush on the bank of the river, there was an angry roar.
"What's going on?" Leonardo, who was originally lying on the raft. Beirut slammed into its feet.
After thinking for a while, Hathaway said in an indifferent tone: "Do you still need to ask?" It must have been a patrol of underground dwarves passing nearby. ”
"Don't dwarves hate water?" Leonardo. Beirut asked, confused.
"Maybe it's some special case." Maxim. Hansen said.
Burleman, who had been standing beside him, and another warrior drew their weapons.
"Hah!"
A loud shout rang out, and an underground dwarf swooped out from the bushes on the shore and leaped into the raft in the air, the tomahawk emitting a terrible cold light from his hand.
The warrior next to Burriman was already ready to attack, and at this moment, he stood up without hesitation, his long sword slashed, and he was full of fighting spirit, and before the underground dwarf could react, he had already cut him in two, blood splashed on the raft, and a smell of blood came to his nose.
At this moment, another stout figure appeared on the shore, raising the battle axe high, and the blade of the axe flashed with a fighting light, but before he could drop the battle axe, Leonardo. Beirut had already stood up and was ready to go head-to-head with the underground dwarf, but no one expected Hathaway to strike faster...... A flash of silver light flashed, and an extremely thin wound appeared on the center of the underground dwarf's eyebrows, and the figure immediately fell on its back.
At that moment, there was a sudden whistling sound, and waves of throwing axes flew over, and Hathaway jerked the raft forward, leaving them far behind.
"Let's go! Don't stop! Hathaway roared, and the two rafts sped forward like arrows from a string, clinging to the river.
Just as Hathaway felt safe and sound, out of the corner of her eye, she saw countless underground dwarves gathering to the river.
"What do they want to do?" Hathaway muttered to herself.
Hearing this, the others also hurriedly came over.
"Oh no, these guys are going to search the river." Maxim. Hansen exclaimed.
Everyone fell silent, and the raft became dead silent.
After a long while, Hathaway was heard to say in a calm and indifferent tone, "Then let's pray, may those underground dwarves not be as smart as you think." Or ask the sovereign God to send down a miracle to make the crisis that stands in our way disappear completely. ”
Until nightfall, the underground dwarves did not retreat from the river, as Maxim did. As Hansen had said, the underground dwarves began to search the entire river.
The day went by like this, and there was no other way but for them to move on.
Unlike yesterday, most people don't feel tired, and besides, the raft is much more spacious and paddled steadily, and it is not easy to catch up with them.
I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********
