Corleone and his group of five made a quick progress towards Redburg, passing a wide river with clear water and a dazzling glow on the banks of the river in the middle of summer.

The river originates in the hills of central Sicily and flows to the sea in the south, where most of the rivers in Sicily are divided into water vapor carried by the sea breeze to the top of the mountain, where it becomes a cumulonimbus cloud and falls on the slopes of the hill when it is cold, and then converges along the valley to form a river that flows again to the sea.

Heidelberg is located on an alluvial plain formed at the end of the river, which means that along this river it is possible to go directly to Heidelberg.

There are many kinds of fish in the river, which can provide enough food and do not have to worry about water problems.

The horses' hooves trampled in the muddy water on both banks of the river, forming a crescent-shaped pit, and the rain was heavy in June, apparently the river had flooded not long ago, causing the road to be muddy on both banks.

In the past, people in this situation usually came to clean the road, or someone did a good job of flood prevention before the rainstorm to control the flooding of the river within a certain range.

But now, no one cares about these trivial matters, the river, the road, the sludge are no longer limited by people, there are weeds growing wildly in the sludge, and there are still many months before the next winter, and the weeds on the road are already half a man's height.

In just one year, nature began to show its great power, wanting to completely erase the proof of the existence of human beings.

The surrounding scenery shows a sense of barbarism, and if the Black Death lasted longer, perhaps this place could really return to the wilderness and become a strange natural place again.

However, a group of uninvited guests abruptly disrupted the process.

The knight on the horse walked through the barren meadow, the green juice splashed out by the horse's hooves, smeared on the knight's leg armor, and unknown wild insects scattered in all directions, making a sound of squirming.

Entering the meadow, unexpectedly slowing down his progress, Corleone frowned, and said, "The situation here is more troublesome than we thought, and if we look at it this way, it will take at least two days to reach Redburg." ”

Kothar lowered his head and spat out thick phlegm, and said in a suppressed voice: "Well, there was originally a road here, but I didn't expect it to be like this now, damn it, we just haven't been able to change the road yet, unless we can cross the river." ”

Rawls stopped and looked around, with the towering hillside on the left and the endless river on the right, no matter how you looked, there was only the road under your feet.

"Well, there's no way, let's slow down, but I'm worried that someone is attacking, and in this environment, once someone is hunted down, it will definitely be very difficult to escape."

Hearing Rawls's words, Corleone frowned, this local does have good combat experience, and his brain is also very clever, Corleone valued this in the first place, so he would join the Dragon Hidden Army.

At this moment, the situation is indeed as he said, if you go on like this, it will not be a big problem to spend more time, and I am afraid of being attacked suddenly.

The terrain here is very unfavorable to them, and if someone pursues them, there is a good chance that they will be overtaken.

And although the strength of the Dragon Yin Army is strong alone, there is no way to fight against enemies who far outnumber them, and if they are caught up by the enemy soldiers of the brigade, the situation will definitely be very dangerous.

After thinking about it, he said in a deep voice: "In this way, let's change the way." ”

"Huh?" Hearing Corleone's words, Rawls had a puzzled expression on his face, and then said: "But captain, we don't have any other choice now, if we want to change lanes, we have to go back a bit, do we have to retreat now?" ”

"No, not backwards." Corleone shook his head, then pointed to the hillside next to him and said, "We walked from the back of the hillside, and although the terrain there was difficult to navigate, the view was very open, and if something went wrong, we would be able to detect it in time." ”

When the members of the Dragon Hidden Army team heard this, they all nodded, they were also fed up with these sticky and greasy grass beaches, and although it was a little windier to be able to walk on the hillside, it was much better than now.

Therefore, the five members of the Long Yin Army all walked towards the hillside on the left, and the war horses walked on the low hill with a slope, and the speed slowed down further, and if they encountered any situation, it would drag on for a long time.

However, it is not much different from the situation on the grass beach below, there is a cool breeze blowing on the mountain, at least the mood of the team members has become much better.

Behind Corleone, the bandit troops soon chased them into the grassy flat, and Corleone did not hide their tracks along the way, so the bandit troops could easily follow them.

"Hurry forward, brothers, those bastards are right in front of us, chase them up and tear them apart." The bandit leader, Scarface, roared, then raised his scimitar and roared forward.

Fifty robbers followed closely behind, each exuding a cold killing intent, their expressions hideous and ferocious.

At this moment, the bandit team was less than twenty miles away from the Dragon Yin team.

After walking some distance along the hillside, the sky gradually darkened, but the view ahead suddenly widened.

The distance between the river and the hillside gradually increases, and a wide plain begins to appear in the middle, which can be seen, and the grassy beach below is also thinned out by the open space.

A grass-covered road also looms, winding into the distance.

Seeing this scene, the spirit of the Long Yin team was greatly lifted, and Zarza said happily: "Oh, this scene reminds me of the prairie in my hometown, and the flat grassland is the most suitable for horses to gallop. ”

Corleone was also very pleased, and he raised his horsewhip and said aloud, "Well, then we will rush down now, and go down the road, and when the evening comes, we will find a place to camp by the riverbank." ”

As he spoke, he put his legs between the horse's belly, and the horse quickened his pace and walked down the hillside.

At this moment, Kothar, who remained at the back of the line, suddenly panicked and said, "It's not good, captain, there are pursuers behind!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the members of the Long Yin team immediately turned their heads in unison and looked behind them.

I saw that in the place where they passed not long ago, a group of faint people suddenly appeared, because the two sides were too far apart, so they couldn't see it very really, but it was enough for people to judge that the other party was coming for themselves.

Corleone turned around and took a look, and immediately ordered, "There are too many of them, let's go!" ”
