Chapter 62: Spring Rain and Moonlit Night

The spring rain is continuous, the rain rain slowly wets the soil, the spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the rain during the spring ploughing is particularly precious.

However, the rain did not come at the right time for Richard, and the continuous rain always had some effect on the march.

On the territory of Hunter Territory, it is fine, and the road that has been repaired for a long time will not be affected by a little light rain.

But as soon as you get out of Hunter Territory, the roads in other places not only narrow, but also appear here and there are small puddles.

Richard rode a slightly better brown war horse, and the armor on his body had gone to Phnom Penh, except for the special thickening of the armor and the more exquisite workmanship, it looked little different from ordinary soldiers, all of them were blue and white.

It was getting late, but Richard had no intention of stopping, looking like he was going to march in the rain all night.

"Pato, we won't rest tonight, just rush to the Banderling, we can bear it."

"No problem."

Pato was the emissary of the Bander family, and as a would-be knight himself, a night of rapid marching was not a big problem for him.

But the quality of the team led by Richard did make him a little frightened,

A team of no more than 200 people, plus Richard and Ron, turned out to be a full 25 knights,

And the whole team always maintained a high-speed march in the rain, and no one complained, let alone left behind.

Marching in the rain and overnight marches had always been something that generals tried to avoid, but Richard didn't care, apparently having full confidence in his own team.

Of course, Richard had full confidence in his troops, and if he was with the Flying Bear Army, he would naturally not dare to do so

But at this time, he is leading a heroic invincible warrior completely produced by the castle (Terran), and his own quality is high enough, and he also enjoys the bonus of the Divine Walking Boots, so it is not surprising that he can do such a continuous high-speed march.

Richard decided to lead the team to set off first, and Queto, Kerry and others brought another 3,000 Flying Bears to help on the second day.

And Viscount Sauter still led the remaining Flying Bear soldiers to stay in the Hunter Territory,

With Richard's cautious personality, he didn't dare to make Ironwood City an empty city, even if the chance of enemies around it was extremely low.

As night fell, it seemed that the mute button had been pressed, and Richard, Pato and the others stopped talking.

The only sound of footsteps and metal colliding with armor and weapons could be heard throughout the group.

……

"My lord, I'm in front of Bande, be careful."

Pato acted as a guide for Richard on the side,

By this time, Pato couldn't believe that the speed at which he had returned with reinforcements was not much slower than when he had rushed to ask for help alone.

"Hmm"

Without Pato's reminder, Richard had already strengthened his vigilance, and more than thirty griffons had been hovering in the air, keeping the surrounding area almost impenetrable for more than ten miles.

The Royal Gryphon also has strong night vision, allowing it to see down even in the middle of the night.

Through the vision of the royal griffins, Richard saw a very different scene from Hunter's Lead,

Barren fields, ruined villages, and even corpses looming by the roadside, and ogres resting in the villages.

"Prepare for battle!"

"Qiang, Qiang......"

Behind him, there was the sound of a long sword unsheathed.

Richard had already spotted traces of ogres in the village ahead of him through the griffin, and it was feared that the ogres would rest in the village after the raid.

Although Pato also drew his sword at Richard's order, his expression was a little puzzled,

After all, the team was still some distance from the village, and there were no special scouts to go out, and Pato found no trace of the enemy.

Richard didn't explain much, but dismounted and led the horse forward, and Pato and Ron began to approach on foot.

The whole team completely suppressed the sound and quietly approached the village in front of them.

After approaching the village for almost a kilometer, Pato finally discovered the anomaly of the village,

Not to mention that the outer wall is damaged, the whole village doesn't even bark at a dog, it looks like it has been attacked by an ogre,

And Richard saw it more clearly through the eyes of the royal griffin,

Some of the houses in the village were demolished in half and taller shacks were erected, apparently too low for the ogre, who took over the village and rebuilt the shacks themselves.

Judging by the number of shacks, this ogre tribe has about 200 to 300 people, which is a typical small tribe, and Richard is sure that he can eat it with the strength in his hands.

Richard led the spearmen and crusaders at the forefront, the marksmen had pressed their crossbows, and the Grim Reaper had raised his scythe at the ogre......

……

Bruce is the leader of a small ogre tribe and an ogre warrior himself.

Bruce has been leading his tribe to nomad in the wilderness before, and the ogre, although powerful, is not without enemies,

Even some big tribes that are also ogres will bully the small tribe led by Bruce,

Sometimes if you go to the land of humans and plunder them, you will be expelled by a large number of human soldiers.

Not only would the other tribes not help at that time, but they might even take the opportunity to snatch some of their domesticated livestock, and Bruce's tribe would have a hard time producing in the wilderness.

Later, a large tribe that often oppressed them ordered him to go to an audience with an adult.

He met the legendary priest for the first time in the great tent of the Great Tribe.

It is rumored that this two-headed Lord Grugesh is the agent of the ancestral god,

Who knows, Bruce doesn't really care, no one in his tribe has told him this story since he was born.

Since the big tribe wants him to follow Master Grugesh, then follow him, and he doesn't dare to refuse anyway.

But now it seems that following this adult has become the wisest decision.

The big tribes that used to oppress them no longer ask for offerings, as long as they obey orders to fight.

They rushed into the human realm and plundered, and no human lord with a large army of soldiers came to besiege them.

Since following Lord Grugesh into human territory, except for the loss of some clansmen in the first stop, he has not encountered any decent enemies in the future.

They snatched up food that they could not eat for a year, and they lived in sturdy stone houses, and they used iron weapons and tools.

All thanks to the great Lord Grugash......

Bruce suddenly felt a little urinating, and he got up and walked to the side of the room to try to fix it on the spot.

No, no peeing in the house, this is Lord Grugersh's order.

Bruce turned and went out into the yard again,

This yard used to belong to a human family, and now the family seems to have run away or is still in a pot, and Bruce can't remember it clearly.

Bruce was facing the courtyard wall, and the moonlight was a little dazzling,

Wrong! It's still raining, what kind of moonshine is this!
