Chapter 679: Loris Stead
"Lord Ricky, let's go ahead to Loristed...... We should be able to rest here for a while...... "When there are no subordinates to send them, these lower-ranking officers naturally act as scouts. Although these guys haven't done this kind of thing for a long time, they still haven't forgotten how to say it when they pick up their old profession now, and they are not as good as elite soldiers, at least a little better than those new soldiers.
"Hmm...... It's scary enough to think they'll hold on to us. But now that we haven't caught up, we're safe in Loristed...... I hope Hadawa and they're okay......" Regie glanced back from a distance, and there was indescribable emotion in her tone.
There were no dangers along the way, and interestingly, they had encountered a group of robbers blocking their way the night before. How did these blind guys know that their night raid was discovered by the scouts who had been arranged early, so under the command of Ricky, these bandits held out for less than ten minutes before they all surrendered.
After finishing this ticket, Ricky still had a bit of a lucrative idea to pull out a robber to lead the way, and directly took the people's lair all the way. Weapons, gold, food, and armor from ordinary mercenaries to prevent the target from attracting attention or something were all available in this bandit den, which brought a lot of convenience to a group of Imperial officers.
"Your Excellency...... Why don't we just go to the town and find their defenders and ask them to assign us a group of men to escort us to Snowman? An officer gently wiped the slightly mismatched armor on his body, and looked at a group of snowy soldiers in the distance and asked.
"Our goal is too big, and it's unpredictable right now, so we'd better be careful, what if one of Bagrove's men infiltrates Evosis?" In the distance, the group of snow-collar soldiers had seen them and motioned for them to stop for inspection. While replying to her subordinates' questions, Ricky calmly jumped off the captured carriage, grabbed the reins with one hand and controlled the carriage to stop, without a trace of helplessness in the whole process. It's not good to take the official road, it's easy to encounter patrolling guards, these guards may turn a blind eye to solo travelers, but for pedestrians like them who are traveling in groups of more than ten people, they will definitely scrutinize carefully.
There were fifty soldiers in this group of Snow Manling, after all, in some ways, Loris Stead already belonged to the border town of Snow Manling, and a patrol of fifty people was not much. However, what is more strange is that when the patrol team of fifty people saw more than ten people dressed in tatters on Ricky's side, they unconsciously weakened a little in momentum at the first time.
"Where did you come from? Where are you going? The patrol leader watched everyone from a distance, and after directly drawing his weapon, he slowly approached while asking.
The captain was a veteran, and he could clearly feel a battle-hardened and murderous aura from these people.
"Our mercenaries from Dugu City are going to Snow Man City to make a living......" Listening to the patrol leader's question in front of him, Rui Ji said the statement that had been made up a long time ago.
"Lonely City?" The patrol leader glanced at Ricky suspiciously, then at Turius, who was asleep in the car, and Falion, who was taking care of him. "Then you shouldn't resist our inspection, right?"
The patrol leader said, looking around at the crowd. These guys were dressed like some poor mercenaries, and their weapons looked okay, but their armor and shields were very worn.
"Of course I don't dare to ......," Ricky said with a smile at the patrol leader, her tone full of sincerity. Except for the identity tag of Tulius, all the things that could prove their imperial identity were burned by her in that cave, and she was naturally not afraid of their inspection at this time.
"Very good......" said the patrol leader, waving behind him and motioning for his men to come up and begin inspecting the convoy. In fact, this kind of inspection is generally to check whether there are any guys in the crowd who have been rewarded in Xuemanling, and to check whether there are any contraband. For example, the current half-moon collar fire oil is contraband, and crossbow machines are also controlled contraband. As for the rest, bows and swords basically belong to the self-defense supplies of the travelers, and they can't ban it if they want to.
Therefore, for Ricky's team of "fugitives", there is no other problem except that the Imperial armor that came out of their bodies may cause some suspicion. The patrol captain led people to inspect them at random and let them go.
"I say, how is the mage, Lord Tulius?" Regin, who had resumed the carriage, glanced at Turlius, who was still asleep, and asked Farion. "It's going to be Loristed, what more herb animals do you think we need? Otherwise, when I get closer to the town, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to get these things. ”
Farion glanced at Regie weakly with two dark circles under his eyes, and then continued to look down to observe Tulius's situation: "It's not a big problem, it's just that this toxin is a bit difficult, more difficult than I've seen before." Fortunately, I have managed to force them near the wound again, this time the effect of the potion can last for three days, and the old man will be safe for three days, but after three days, as soon as the toxin explodes, then everything will be in vain......"
"Didn't you say you could cure him?! Why do you say now that you can't do anything in three days?! When a warrior walking on foot with the carriage heard this, he shouted directly at Farion.
Farion glared at the guy obliquely, and replied with the same roar, "I could have saved him, but you have to know that this is a toxin that has been tempered by the power of the spell!" I need two more mages to complete the antidote! Can you find two mages for me?! If you don't understand, don't give Lao Tzu BB here, okay? I'm not in a hurry if you're in a hurry! If this old man smashes it on my hand, my signboard will be smashed too! ”
"You ......"
"Alright...... Don't fight anymore......" Ricky obviously saw that this mage had been doing her best these days, so she interrupted her men before they could speak. "It's not too early now, I'll rest in Loristed tonight, and I'll leave early tomorrow morning, and if I speed up, I should be able to arrive in Snowy City in the early morning of the day after tomorrow......"
