"That's right, according to the calculation of time, the next wave is not far away."

At the front of the team after a period of time, Surtu, who was leading the remnants of the Su tribe to advance slowly, also had a gray-robed magician beside him, and he who had just sent away a hundred steps of peerless at this time also returned to his previous indifference and seriousness in the face of Duan Qing, and the voice of the answer was also full of a serious feeling: "Heaven has not left us much time to find the next settlement point, we must end it before the tide comes." ”

"Why didn't you say this earlier." So Duan Qing had no choice but to mutter, "Set off in such a hurry, what if you don't have time to find a suitable place to settle?" ”

"The tribe is on the verge of extinction, and it is necessary to go." Shaking his head, Surtu's gaze that had been looking ahead paused for a moment: "Please rest assured, we are not aimlessly carrying out such a journey, there will definitely be a suitable place waiting for us ahead." ”

"Really? Is this the route that keeps walking along the seaside? Looking at the blue waves not far from them, Duan Qing's gaze also lowered a little: "The location we are in is also the weakest area affected by the wind tide?" ”

"To the north, and by the sea—as far as I know of the geography, this is indeed the farthest place at the time of the tide."

Turning his gaze to Duan Qing's side, Surtu, who was pacing slowly forward on horseback, replied in a low voice in an indifferent tone: "During the time we have lived here, the power of the tide here is far less than the one I have seen in the center of the continent. ”

"If it weren't for this war, that place might really be a suitable place for the Sioux to live forever." There was an inexplicable sigh in his voice: "The Suji patriarch may have also foreshadowed such a result, so he sent me to this area in the south early to conduct reconnaissance. ”

"So you've long thought about retreating in your clan?" Pointing to the coast around and the direction they were traveling, Duan Qing raised his eyebrows: "How far is it?" ”

"What, are you tired already?" Instead of answering this question immediately, Surtu looked at the gray-robed magician with puzzled eyes: "The migration journey has only been going on for less than half a day, and you adventurers can't bear it anymore?" ”

"I'm just a little worried, worried that some other surprises will happen." Looking around here, Duan Qing replied in a deep voice: "For example, the ghost of the Nashi clan is still gone, and then he runs over to do a sneak attack or something." ”

"The threat is there, and it's highly likely." Nodding his head solemnly, Surtu's voice then raised to the left and right of the place: "This is also one of the reasons why we chose to leave that place immediately, I hope those people will not continue to catch up." ”

"Speaking of which, is there really any irreconcilable contradiction between you and that Nash tribe?" As if remembering the sky-high flames and the never-ending battle a few days ago, Duan Qing's brows slowly furrowed: "Why do they not hesitate to do so much to exterminate all of your clans here?" ”

“…… It is true that there have been some conflicts between our tribes for various reasons, the same friction that we have experienced in the central part of the continent. Shaking his head, Surtu replied in a low voice: "These commonplace things should not cause so much hatred, so ...... I don't know why. ”

"You can't really do it for those wind stones, can you?" Thinking of a possibility, Duan Qing stretched out his hand and pointed around, "Have you ever counted the loss figures before?" For example, how many stones do we have left? ”

"Most of the Wind Stones used to fortify the camp have been looted, and there shouldn't be enough left to keep the rest of the clan alive." Surtu's voice in reply also became more muffled: "It's also a problem that needs to be solved before reaching a new settlement, so-"

"Hey, is the current state of our team so miserable?" Interrupting the other party's words, Duan Qing's expression even began to turn iron: "I can't imagine how heavy the burden we will carry in the future, and we have to beware of enemy attacks, and we have to look for ores all over the map......"

"You adventurers don't need to be reminded that the warriors of our clan will do the same." Surtu replied in an indifferent voice: "Of course, if you have any good way to find more stones, I will also thank you for your hard work on behalf of the Sioux people." ”

"Don't always say such useless things, if there is money to compensate for it...... Ah no, nothing. ”

The low muttering was then interrupted by his deliberate denial voice, and Duan Qing, who was looking at each other with his hands, also showed a deliberate smile on his face again: "In short, since we have decided to walk with you, we will solve the problems that should be solved, and I hope that you will continue to invite us when you encounter any other difficulties, and we will definitely help each other wholeheartedly." ”

"It's not going to be difficult or anything for the time being, but there's one thing."

The moving horse paused for a moment, and the corresponding movement of Sultuna's body that was gradually crossed by the other tribesmen towards a certain direction of the sea, as if a wonderful light flowed in his eyes, he also fell into an eerie silence for a while, and only after a while did he continue to say his previous words: "I want to go to a place, do you want to come with me?" ”

"Huh? Where to go...... Feed! The words that he wanted to inquire were left behind by the other party's footsteps leaving towards the right front of the team, and Duan Qing, who looked around for a while, finally chased in the direction of the other party walking towards the beach: "Why did you leave the team suddenly?" If all of a sudden an enemy comes out of the blue—huh? ”

"What is this?"

As the distance approached, the fresh breath of the sea that was close at hand also appeared in front of Duan Qing, and some of the waves set off by the grassland wind behind him also showed a slight reversal at this time because of the appearance of the two people one after another, circling the originally calm waves around him a little. Not noticing the meaning of the rolling waves and the oncoming sea breeze, all the attention of the gray-robed magician was focused on the straight sword that was gradually becoming clear, and which was now being inserted upside down in the seaside meadow. ”

"It's ...... Your sword? ”

"That's right, Klock's sword at the same time."

Nodding his head calmly, Surtu, who was half-kneeling, then continued as if he was telling a story that did not concern him: "In order to lead his people safely to this land of indisputability, he finally died on the way to the sea, and he entrusted me with his sword before he died, hoping that I would carry on his legacy and carry on with the hope of him and other people. ”

"I always thought that I had done this for him, so I left the sword here." He let out a long sigh and reached out to grip the hilt of his sword tightly: "I didn't expect to continue to walk with it in the end." ”

"I've never heard of the name, but it's a great story." Putting away the relaxed look on his face, Duan Qing, who stepped forward, replied in a heavy voice: "If you have the chance, please tell me this story, I will raise the warmest bonfire and prepare the best wine and food." ”

"Thank you."

The heavy sound of the sword then echoed between the waves and the wind of the steppe, and Surtu slowly pulled the black iron sword from between the dirt: "But if possible, I hope that this sword will not continue to be stained with human blood, which will not be of any use, but will only prove that we are further and further away from peace." ”

"Cheer up, the Sioux will surely find the future they deserve." Duan Qing, who lowered his head with his arms folded and faced the sea breeze, replied in a low voice: "I may not have said that before, but after seeing so many things and witnessing the strength of the Nasu tribe, I-"

"Patriarch! Patriarch! ”

Before Duan Qing could finish his words, a Nassu warrior who ran from nowhere suddenly appeared behind the two people: "Sultu Patriarch!" And - uh. ”

I don't know if it was because he saw the presence of an adventurer or because he saw the image of Surtu standing in front of him with a long sword, the anxious Nasu warrior's open mouth paused in the air, and Surtu, who noticed this abnormality, then turned around and slowly walked in front of the other party: "Have you calmed down?" What happened? ”

"Yes, it's the reconnaissance team from the front that has returned." Hurriedly sorting out his emotions, the Nasoux warrior replied respectfully in a voice, "They are all wounded. ”

"Wounded? Is there a fight? After glancing at Duan Qing, Surtu's face became serious again: "Did you encounter a pack of wolves?" Or did they clash with people from other tribes? ”

"Neither, if they're not mistaken." The Nasu warrior's voice suddenly gritted his teeth: "It's the Nashi tribe. ”

"They said they had met a fighting party of the Nash."

********************************

"What a group of haunted guys! We've all conceded that we're still chasing here! ”

Returning to the team of the Nasu tribe, Duan Qing immediately told the rest of his teammates the news he had gotten, and they were just as Duan Qing expected, and they each jumped up from their original lazy and boring expressions: "Where are they?" Lao Tzu is worried that the one he fought some time ago was not enough fun! ”

"Don't rush to get excited, you can't necessarily confirm that it's them."

Pressing the excited Asahi Dongsheng back to his original place, Duan Qing replied helplessly: "According to those wounded Nassu people, that Nashi team just exchanged a few arrows with them from a distance, and then retreated hastily, with no intention of fighting at all......

"Maybe it's just the front station troops who came to reconnoitre, and once they find out our whereabouts, they will immediately send the follow-up troops or something." Gedmayne, who was on the side, frowned and said, "If that's really the case, then the situation will become very troublesome." ”

"No, not necessarily." Shaking his head, Duan Qing pointed to the middle of the Nasu team at the front of the team where several people were also discussing something: "Those wounded Nasoux soldiers described the details of what happened to us, and according to their descriptions——"

"Those Nashi people didn't seem to expect to meet us at all."

As he said this, he lowered his gaze to the depths of the line in front of him with the rest of the players, and Surtu, who was also discussing the topic in that direction, then swung off the other tribal warriors as well, suppressing their unease as well: "Don't get excited, the battle won't start so easily, since they only let a few arrows and run away, then maybe they didn't come to chase us." ”

"Don't let your guard down, just keep an eye on what's going on around you." He replied to the expectant gazes gathered on him, and at the same time stretched out his hand to the front of the group: "It's already very dark, everyone rest first." Let the people of the Lufin Chamber of Commerce get the carriage ready, and we will rely on the carriage first-"

"Patriarch! Patriarch! A loud shout came from far to near, interrupting Surtu's voice again: "Patriarch! We have captured an enemy of the Nash tribe! ”

"-What?" The light in his eyes became more and more strange, and Surtu, who had put away his gestures, stared at the figures of the other tribal warriors rushing ahead: "The enemy of the Nashi tribe? ”

"That's right! He confessed to it himself! ”

Escorting a man who looked very weak, several warriors followed each other's steps and came to Surtu: "We found him in the steppe ahead!" He's in our way! ”

"Because if you don't, you won't find me, hahahaha." Without waiting for Surtu to continue questioning, the frail man who was held in the center chuckled and let out a low voice: "What if it is ...... If I miss it, I might be going to die. ”

"What did you say?" Approaching the captive, Surtu, who took two steps forward, stared at the face of the man in front of him with disheveled hair and scars with scrutinizing eyes: "Who are you?" ”

"As your people just said, I am a Nash." His face was buried between the movements of his head bowed, and the weak man replied with a laugh that did not care, "My name is Shi Ayun. ”

"I don't know if you've heard of that name."
