An unlucky rabbit was impaled through the body with a stick, and was set up on the flame, slowly roasted.

As the stick rolled slowly, the heat gradually turned the protein-rich and fat-filled body into a charred yellow, and the vague scent was wafting, and the owner of the stick tried to sniff in to catch the smell, and the movements of his hands became more detailed.

"Help me get some salt, Lance, peppercorns, and cumin."

"Lord Divine Envoy, the enemy's sentinels are scouting us," Lance opened and closed his mouth after handing over the salt and spices, and finally couldn't help but say to Wu Xiaoqing, "Our horses are better than theirs, and they can catch up." ”

Wu Xiaoqing carefully pinched a handful of salt with his fingers and slowly sprinkled it on the roast meat on the flame. The voice of the search and rescue team answered the question that should have been answered by him for Wu Xiaoqing: "It's okay, let them see, Lance." ”

Lance, who had been on many battlefields and was the nominal commander of the force, had to give his judgment to those who could really make a decision: "When they see the number of our troops, they may send twice as many cavalry to surround us." ”

Wu Xiaoqing concentrated on piercing holes in the meat with a knife to ensure that the meat inside and outside the rabbit was grilled evenly. The search and rescue team replied to Lance's concern: "It's okay, let them come, Lance." ”

"But......" Lance's voice was raised a little, and after looking at Wu Xiaoqing's movements, he lowered it again, and there was a lot more bitterness in it: "But I can't ensure the safety of your Lord Divine Envoy at that time." ”

"God will keep me safe, Lance," said the search and rescue team, "God has seen through everything. ”

Lance walked away disappointed.

Looking at the shadows that flashed from time to time on the opposite hill, Lance's mood became more and more restless.

Ever since entering the borders of the kingdom of Louis, these cavalry have been following them since they encountered the warning of the first archer.

Lance could almost imagine that one day in the future, the army of the Kingdom of Louis would be completely aware of and grasp the direction of their ranks.

On the march of one day, they would see a large army of Louis on the horizon, charging with spears and swords, and Lance could almost imagine his end, and he would die after being surrounded by several times the enemy.

I wonder how this divine envoy and the land god in his mouth will bless them at that time?

When he first learned that he had been appointed as the forward commander of the holy war, Lance was particularly excited. Because the forward means that while they are marching, the enemy is not ready. It means that even if they encounter a large number of enemies, they can calmly retreat, it means that they can carry out the first round of the most oily robbery in enemy territory, which means merit and status after the war......

But in the past two days, after spending time with this divine envoy, Lance felt that his heart was full of frustration and uneasiness.

Especially uneasy.

At first glance, this oracle is a young man who has never been on the battlefield, and he does not know many things in the army...... That's fine, as a seasoned soldier, Lance doesn't have the luxury of asking anyone to help him with his duties.

The oracle also intervened to disrupt their normal marching rhythm...... It's nothing, as a soldier who is accustomed to seeing the world, Lance is also used to satisfying the desire of some big people to express themselves in military affairs.

However, the interference of this divine envoy actually penetrated into the designated tactical action and stared at it with his own eyes, which was too much!

For example, insisting on not expelling the other party's sentinels!

For example, they are not allowed to collect military rations through robbery!

For example, insist on sleeping during the day and asking for a march at night!

For example, frequent changes in the direction of the march......!!!

It's just sick!

If it weren't for the fact that the fate of his family was now entirely in the hands of this divine envoy, Lance would almost have the urge to lead his men to flee back without permission.

"Big brother, he looks very unhappy," Wu Xiaoqing nibbled on the freshly roasted rabbit while recalling the drooping face of the commander who left just now, "There won't be anything." ”

"He was just scared," the search and rescue team said, "and he didn't know we were looking farther than he was." ”

"Then why didn't you tell him?" Wu Xiaoqing looked at the age of the knight and felt that he should be about the same age as himself. However, it is said that the other party has been on the battlefield several times, and in this era, he can be regarded as a young talent.

"He can't understand that if we tell him everything, is God still called God?" The search and rescue team said, "After eating, go to the west and have a look." ”

Wu Xiaoqing took seven or eight knights with him and patrolled around the camp as usual.

Wu Xiaoqing's behavior was obviously not understood by the soldiers, because the search and rescue team showed him the private complaints of some people: "If the god makes the old man feel unsafe, he should drive those sentries away." ”

The sentinels on the west side of the camp were the first to follow the vanguard of the Kingdom of Elis, a total of three men, who were still brothers to each other.

As usual, while the warriors of the Kingdom of Elise camped and rested, the sentinels who watched over them also stopped not far away to rest. They blatantly sat on a small hill opposite, and even lit a fire and grilled food. When Wu Xiaoqing and his party appeared, all three of them stood up, unbuttoned their belts as usual, and peed on Wu Xiaoqing's side.

According to the requirements of the search and rescue team, Wu Xiaoqing picked up the telescope and aimed the center of his vision at the key part of the three people - the mouth, of course.

"What the hell are those Elise people thinking?"

"yes, that's weird...... Let's say they are timid, obviously we have been following them for two or three days and are still unhurried...... Let's say they are bold, go out of the road to find a well, and send a whole team of people......"

"What's strange, I think, it's that the guy on the other side has never been on the battlefield at all......"

"Don't underestimate them," said the man with the scar on his face, pointing to his own face, to his brother, "and it was a group of mad soldiers brought out by a mad king...... If they didn't know how to fight, the baron wouldn't be fortifying the castle right now. They're going in a different direction again today......"

"In my opinion, as long as you call five squads, one charge can leave no piece of armor left behind them," the third child pointed to Wu Xiaoqing opposite, "They don't even have sentinels and bonfires when they sleep!" It's too lax. ”

The boss shook his head and denied the third child's opinion: "Do you remember what happened in the morning?" We were just about to approach the camp when a patrol came in our direction. ”

"That's just bad luck, big brother," the third brother still refused, "we can try again in the afternoon, I see those Elise people who take off their armor during the day, maybe we can steal a few and come back." ”

The boss shook his head, pointed to Wu Xiaoqing on the opposite side and said, "No...... No...... We watched them from afar...... Don't you think it's weird? The guy on the other side, why does he find our camp every time? Do you remember? Every time we stopped to eat, the guy would find him quickly, and he would run past us every time to look at us. ”

"Of course they can see ......" The third child pointed to the fire and raised the hot food in his hand: "And there are many of them." ”

"No, on the first day, we deliberately did something to hide," the Boss recalled, when he had just started tracking the troops, recalling the first time the boy in silver armor across from us held up something he didn't recognize and looked at him, "but as soon as we showed up, we saw the man looking at us. ”

Obviously, the three of them followed and monitored this force according to the baron's orders, but the boss always had a strange feeling now, as if the other party was using himself to detect and understand the reality of the Louis Kingdom.

The boss feels very right, and this is indeed the purpose of Wu Xiaoqing all along.

This is a plain area, and without using forces beyond the times, it is almost impossible for one army to throw off the cavalry reconnaissance vision of another army on such terrain.

For some reason, the search and rescue team asked for the time being not to show too bizarre military signs, so according to the plan, the Elis Vanguard had to shorten the time limit of information detected by the other side by marching at night and changing direction frequently. - If you want to remove the grievances of the soldiers, it is not difficult for a small army of four or five hundred men to do this.

With the level of organization and command of this era, in the face of the ever-changing marching information, no commander dared to take the risk of judging the opponent's march route and purpose, and the safest way was the baron's approach, reinforcing the city wall, and waiting for the opposite side to take the initiative to expose the tactical purpose.

The eldest followed the night with difficulty last night, and the second child had just found someone in the morning to deliver the information, so both of them needed to go to the back of the mountain in the afternoon to supplement their sleep. The third man was crawling on the ridge alone, staring at the enemy's every move.

As usual, they continued to sleep in the afternoon, and until Xiaoyang had set down, they packed up their tents and set off again.

The third brother woke up the two brothers, and when he was sure that the other party's troops had left, he ignored the warnings of the two brothers and urged the horses to the place where the other had just camped. There were still a lot of leftover food scraps and traces of a fire on the ground, and on the edge of a fire, the third child once again found a familiar package that had almost been eaten. There were still two or three mouthfuls of food left, and he greedily stuffed it into his mouth, and then tasted it contentedly.

"Third brother, one day, this mouth of yours will give you your life," the eldest chased after him, saw the food residue on the third brother's mouth, counted him down, and said, "Didn't find sugar?" ”

In the first few days, they followed the team and always picked up a lot of precious things. For example, small packages of white sugar, small machinery that can automatically light a fire, a small mirror that can clearly reflect the figure of a person, and even a whole can of pepper.

As usual, they began to carefully search the camp again for any possible riches, and the thought and energy spent in this was even more serious than the daytime surveillance mission. Their earnestness paid off, and this time they found three of the fallen gold coins - I wonder how frustrated the soldiers who lost them must have been.

However, because they had spent too much time looking for something today, by the time they got on their horses again and were ready to track the whereabouts of this group of people, it was already completely dark. The horse's hooves on the ground became illegible, and the boss finally chose to give up after touching the ground and chasing for more than an hour. They had a supper meal with the spices and food they had just found, and fell asleep again, ready to wait for the next day to track down the invaders again.

Although they lost the strikers of the Elise Kingdom for the time being, the three of them were very relieved. - A horse team of four or five hundred people, which has no possibility of hiding during the day.

The next day, all three of them got up early, and they followed the trail of yesterday, and met several groups of peasants on the way, all of whom claimed that they had heard a large group of people passing by in the evening, and that every peasant who had been questioned clearly pointed them in the right direction.

It seems that these heretics have been on a long journey at night, and have finally lost their way.

Looking in that direction, the three brothers were even more relieved - because that was exactly where they had set out, an outpost that the Baron had just built for this war.

By the time the three brothers set out, more than 150 soldiers had been stationed at the sentry, stockpiled with an excessively large stockpile of defensive supplies, including bows and arrows, spears, stones, and fuel. All of the defending forces had been informed by their intelligence that if these Elis lunatics ran into each other in the middle of the night, they would have loot to pick up later.
