"Really, that's it?" A recruit muttered.

"Okay, let's talk about it now, who's going to look at the map?" Anthony suddenly raised the parchment in his hand and asked everyone.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks.

Xiu didn't speak either. He can use a compass, but he can't read a map.

"Since no one can look at the map, let me take a look. I was educated in my family about maps, so I had no problem reading a map. There is no problem with the compass to use, it is not difficult, and I can understand it, so can I show you the way? ”

"You can read the map, so you can lead the way!" A recruit chimed in.

"Then Anthony leads the way! Only you can look at the map! ”

"Good! Then come Anthony! At this time, everyone agreed.

Hearing everyone say this, Anthony nodded, and a smile appeared on Guozi's face, "Since everyone agrees, let me lead the way." Let's follow the way we marched just now, and move forward in two columns. Let's hurry up and run fast, 70 kilometers is really far. ”

Everyone didn't say anything more, and nodded in agreement. Anthony was the first to urge his horse, and Rumble was the first to run forward, and Xiu followed behind him.

The horse team of more than 20 people also marched forward in a decent way, a bit of a march.

Anthony's equestrian skills are obvious, he holds the map in one hand and the compass in the other, and his body is still firmly on the back of the horse. There was a calm atmosphere on his face, a little bit of a veteran.

From time to time, he looked up at the sun, fixed his position with his compass, looked at the map for a while, and then pulled the reins with his free hand to adjust the direction.

The heavy horses rumbled forward, and everywhere they went, a cloud of earthy yellow smoke and dust was raised.

Xiu felt that the darkness seemed to be a little excited.

It took half a month to let it come out to run a circle, which really suffocated it.

Maybe this quiet pony has lava-like blood burning in his bones.

It was like a black whirlwind, and like a black beast. Wrapped in black heavy armor, it was like a fierce beast with its claws exposed, like a rhinoceros, smashing all the stones and black branches and leaves on the road.

The whole heavy team followed Anthony all the way, and the long black snake crashed headlong into the dense black poplar forest.

But here, there was no way to maintain the neat column, because there were no roads in the woods, and the black poplars were scattered and disorganized. Although there was a large gap, it was not enough for the team to maintain the formation, so the team became loose as they walked, and there was no way for the dark to rampage as it did at the beginning. Because if you go like that, you're going to hit a tree.

As soon as Anthony walked into the woods, he felt a little bad.

Because he's starting to lose his sense of direction.

There is a compass and a map, but... He couldn't figure out where he was on the map now.

There are a lot of iconic things marked on the parchment that help people determine where they are, but Anthony finds himself not at any of the dots on it.

He frowned and looked around to make sure. But he couldn't let the team stop.

He didn't want people to know that he had a map and could go wrong, but this was his chance to show himself in front of everyone, and he would be embarrassed if others knew.

He slowed down his horse and walked slowly. However, the road became more and more unfamiliar, and the terrain became more and more strange, and even began to conflict with the terrain drawn on the map.

Time passed little by little, the sun was rising little by little, and Anthony's anxiety had already caught the attention of the students.

"Anthony, what's wrong with you, you don't seem to be very happy?" A recruit asked.

"It's okay, I'm worried if something will happen to my horse. This horse armor is too heavy. Anthony was in a hurry, lightly covering up the past.

"So, we're going to take a break here now?" Another recruit made an observation.

"Will you be able to get there on time?" Anthony said.

"It's better than going over if there's a problem with the horse." They smiled.

Anthony thought for a moment that taking a break would also give him more time to discern the map and directions. So he nodded and said loudly to the people behind him: "Brothers, let's rest first, restore the strength of the horse, and we will set off later!" ”

When everyone heard that they could rest, they dismounted.

Some people even began to remove the heavy horse armor from their horses in order to make their horses easier.

"Don't dismantle the horse armor, don't dismantle!" Anthony reminds that "when we go, we have to go at any time!" It will waste a lot of time to disassemble and assemble the horse armor, and it will not be enough for us to reach our destination by then! ”

That's when someone stopped. But there were still two girls who didn't stop.

"Lisa has never carried anything that heavy, I'm going to get her used to it!" She didn't even want Anthony to stop her, but she still removed the horse armor, "Look, her back is so heavy, there are marks on her back, she is sad and called it again!" ”

"Sasha, if you feel so sorry for her, you can't remove the horse armor! Because you make it even more uncomfortable with the weight of the horse armor! Anthony said solemnly.

"I'm not like you, I don't care so much about my horses, I can use them however I want, I love my horses! She grew up with me! Sasha ignored it. She removed all the horse armor and let them fall heavily to the ground.

"Sasha!" Anthony suddenly roared loudly, and his action scared everyone.

"You've made it easy for your horse, but you're wasting our time! We're just taking a short break, and you're going to keep us here longer! If we don't make it to the right place in time, everyone will be punished for you! Anthony snapped his duty.

The girl named Sasha was stunned, as if she didn't expect to be so severely charged by Anthony, she blinked, and suddenly felt that her heart was full of grievances.

Then, her mouth flattened and she cried!

"You're murdering me!" She squatted on the ground and kept wiping her tears: "No one has ever scolded me like this... Neither my mom nor dad ever scolded me! Even if I didn't pass the test, they wouldn't..."Several girls next to her went over to comfort the girl and looked at Anthony with disdain.

Anthony was dumbfounded.

He was confident in his eloquence, and had already figured out how to come up with a tirade to educate her well, to make her realize her mistakes and to establish a little image and status in the eyes of others.

But he imagined the reactions of countless girls, such as anger, disdain, contempt, and even all kinds of bad words.

I didn't expect her to cry.

He panicked immediately.

"yes, I'm sorry," he muttered.

"I'm sorry, that's it! I'm sorry, if it's useful, why do you have to compensate! Sasha covered her eyes with the back of her hands, wiping her tears.

"So, how am I going to compensate you?" Anthony subconsciously answered. Then he felt that something was wrong.

"Oh, then you can help me put the armor on the horse." She suddenly stopped crying, stood up and stuck to Anthony with a tricky smile, "You won't refuse even this little request, right?" I'll be upset if I refuse, and if I'm upset," she said, she was going to cry again.

"Okay, okay, I'll pretend, I can pretend." Anthony knew he had fallen into the pit.

Sasha smiled in satisfaction and jumped away to fight with the girls on the side, leaving Anthony alone in the wind.

He was wondering how much time he would have to rest before he could figure out enough to fit on his horse armor.

Time is a little tight......

Wait a minute......

Only then did he realize that he had planned to educate her, but he was counter-educated.

Forget it, in the current situation, there is no time to dwell on these anymore, and I still need to look at the map carefully.

He focused on the map in his hand again.

He constantly adjusted his compass to the sun's position, adjusted the map, looked at the direction of the training camp on the map, and estimated his position.

There are many, many marked points on the map that I didn't find at all, and only a few mountains I saw by myself.

But it's not enough to locate where you are.

"I have a map, but I can't see where I am... Can't I even look at the map?" Anthony's brow furrowed tighter and tighter.

"Of course, it's impossible to know where you are, because the map is inherently wrong." Thousands of meters away from Anthony, a lightly armed knight retracted a long cylindrical object to his waist, a gloating expression on his face.

He looked at the two Valkyries behind him, "Shouldn't we be glad that we weren't recruits when Chief Gerald came up with these ideas?" ”

The Valkyries nodded sympathetically.

It's too frustrating.

"Alright, let's get a little closer. In case they set off suddenly, we will be in trouble if we don't follow the mountain. ”

"Okay." The two Valkyries nodded and slowly followed.
