Chapter 45: Escort Mission
With the sound of horses' hooves and the crunch of ruts crushing the hard dirt road, the truck pulled by two heavy pan beasts "Kanma" is slowly leaving the defense range of Rock Wall Town, and you can clearly see that the color of the soil on the ground has changed from dark to light in an instant, which is the boundary line of the town.
Next to the freight carriage was a group of town guards on "horses". It is also a vehicle-level rock beast, and unlike the tall and muscular "Kanma", the "Yinma" has a slender neck and a streamlined body, which is light and beautiful.
It's a pity that in addition to the appearance, the other attributes of this kind of pan beast are miserable, the weight of the small thin waist is too low, not to mention the pack goods, and even can't carry the heavy armor panshi, if you want to ride it, you can only travel lightly, and don't think how fast the speed is.
Its biggest advantage is that it is easy to raise, docile, and cheap. Therefore, it is widely popularized among village-level panshi.
"Cheer up, now that we're in the wilderness, and although the patrol hasn't marked the active wild rocks in recent months, there are surprises in everything. ”
The first member of the town guard took off his hood as he spoke, and under the sassy short ear-length hair was a delicate and heroic face, none other than Minna.
She watched as the other town guards returned without saying hello, a look of helplessness. The other party, like her, belongs to the elite team members, and will not listen to her at all.
But they are not messy, the errand of escorting the caravan requires a long journey, it is hard and tiring, and there is no benefit, and usually the main members of the main team will be handed over to the low-level members of the town guard at the border, or even trainees.
"It's a great opportunity for the young players to get practiced, and being close to the wilderness is a great help for their growth and the big picture for the future. ”
This strange rule is said to have been confessed by the captain Chesky, and it is unwritten words.
After entering the wilderness area, the sense of security that had been shrouded by the giant rock turtle was gone. However, for those new young players, the field is still relatively new, and it is indeed possible to increase some knowledge.
Especially after seeing the only elite member of the team, accompanied by beautiful women, those young people were even happier.
"It's Minna-senpai!"
"Why are you here?"
"Will you come with us?"
"Isn't that nonsense?"
"Great, I'm accompanied by Minna! I don't feel tired all the way!"
Minna is still quite prestigious among these interns, on the one hand, because of her upbringing, and on the other hand, because of her appearance.
After all, they are all hot-blooded young people, and in the face of the cold beauty predecessors, they do not hide their envy and admiration. There are a few arrogant young people who even hope that there will be a wave of thieves who are not long-sighted, so that they can have a chance to show themselves in front of the beautiful seniors.
"That's enough, we're not out to play! you're going to have to cheer up now, you know?" Minna said sternly, and she didn't have the heart to tease or joke in front of this group of young people who didn't know the height of the sky.
I don't know what the leaders think, such an important cargo, she estimated that it was worth hundreds of pan coins, and she actually sent a group of new Ding escorts as before, didn't she really worry about accidents?
For some reason, she has been having a very bad premonition today, and her eyelids are jumping inexplicably. She believed in her own self-awareness, and from the penal colony to the town guard, she relied on her instinct to resolve many crises and even save her life.
Minna sighed softly, maybe it's because of her body, her mental state has been really bad lately, and the relationship between the two has not been completely repaired since the last time she quarreled with Bender.
The flashpoint of the conflict between the two sides is mainly that Bender is keen on training and has no time to accompany her, and Bender will not change the habits he has always developed at all. What's more, what attracted Minna in the first place was his perseverance in the pursuit of progress.
Therefore, it is very contradictory, and I am afraid that this stalemate will not be changed in a short period of time.
What's more, these days, Bender is about to break through the ranks, and he can't wait to live in the training ground from morning to night. It's rare to have a little time, and she was pulled by her mother to do the light bulb task.
For feelings, Minna is not too active, and the man no longer takes the initiative, so he has been in a cold war.
This time, she took the initiative to participate in the mutual delivery mission, and she also wanted to come out to breathe.
The fresh air of the wilderness blows in the face, the hills are endless meadows, patches of vines and wildflowers sway in the wind, clusters of trees are dotted with greenery or forests, and the peaks set up a grand backdrop in the distance, and the whiteness above the snow line speaks of the high cold. It didn't take long for a lake to come into view, clear and blue when it was quiet, and the wind was sparkling. There is a herd of huge stone oxen drinking water by the lake.
The youngest of them is the size of a truck, with a rocky skin overgrown with weeds and small trees, and this quasi-camp-class pan beast is docile, slow-moving, and has no hunting value due to its thick skin.
The young warriors were amazed again, and the most daring one of them wanted to ride his horse close and touch it with his own hands, but was scolded by Mina before he returned in a huff.
"Didn't you say docile?" asked the chubby little gentleman, scratching his head.
"It's very docile, it pounces on you and is coquettish, can you catch it?" Minna said to block all doubts.
What they didn't know was that there had been a pair of eyes staring at them, and above the road ahead, the wind and clouds began to change.
=============================================================
By the time Bender walked up to the turtle, the training ground was already full of people. Family, teammates, companions, and lords...... They were all here to cheer him on.
Chesky was right behind him, always with a polite smile on his face. Bender nodded at him.
The other party has frequently extended olive branches to him during this time, and with the relationship between his sister Peony, the originally tense relationship between them has eased a lot. What's even more incredible is that Chesky not only accepted some of the team's rectification suggestions put forward by himself, but even took the initiative to guide himself to make his cultivation method more standardized and labor-saving.
For Bende, who is obsessed with cultivation, it is a sincere and great help, and it is worth being grateful. Sure enough, with the assistance of the frame food, he broke through again, surpassed the peak of the last battle, and reached the final critical point, that is, the state of "temporary soldier".
Now, Bender feels that the moment has come, and he has always dreamed of breaking through to become a real "soldier" class.
Becoming a "soldier" level warrior means that you have obtained the exchange qualification, which can not only participate in town-to-town exchanges and martial arts competitions, meet veteran soldiers, but also obtain the qualification to go to the city-state for further study if you are lucky.
Although he is a little older, as long as he breaks through the ranks, it is not too late.
At that time, the door to the outside world will really open for him.
