Chapter 53: The Location of Boundary Pillar No. 2
Throw food away in the wilderness, pour water into the rivers, drive the horses to their own devices, and banish the camels into the wilderness......
All the clansmen were silently carrying out the supreme instructions given by the meeting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 However, there are occasional discordant voices.
"Don't, I don't want to take the red wind torso!"
The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, who was at the age of rebellion, was quietly holding her mount at the moment, looking at her father with a stubborn expression.
"Let go, you're going to kill Red Wind like this!"
Her father grimaced in a low voice.
"I don't! Red Wind is our family, so I don't want it to go! ”
Tears couldn't stop rolling in his eyes, and he couldn't hold back until he left. The horse knows human nature, and at this moment it already understands what fate awaits it.
He arched the little master's cheek affectionately for the last time, and gently broke free from her embrace, and walked towards the wilderness in the distance.
The middle-aged man grabbed his screaming and crying daughter to prevent her from rushing forward, and his eyes were also fixed on the horse, and he sighed deeply. His daughter is reluctant, why should he be reluctant?
"Don't blame me, and don't blame the elders, only in this way can we bring a way to life to the red wind and us!"
……
Such partings of life and death are played out all the time, especially in tribes like the Iron Hoof who ride on horseback. For them, horses have become their family, a part of their lives, and no one will easily give up their own family, a part of their own life, until a moment of crisis.
Lei Chuan stood from a distance and watched, he was also one of the decision-makers, he didn't want to see such a result either, only when he was in this position, he knew that it was not easy for the superior.
Despite their reluctance, within the stipulated time, the clansmen still completed their respective tasks, and everyone carried a simple salute, and even most of their armor and heavy weapons were forced to give up.
According to the division before the war, the team was also divided into five divisions, as well as the vanguard army and the palace rear army. In order to lead the way, Lei Chuan chose to be the leader of the vanguard army, and Concubine Yanhuang was sent to the palace army.
At the moment when the sun rises to the center of the third round, the alliance begins to set off.
Even without the drag of large luggage and livestock, there is still a lot of danger on the trail that is too crowded for two people side by side.
Poisonous snakes and poisonous insects hiding in the shadows, eagles and falcons prowling on the top of mountains, fierce beasts coveting flesh and blood, and unknown strange alien races...... In this former Terran territory, it is now full of dangers.
However, under the field of vision of the Lei Chuan spy satellite, all creatures that threatened the human race had nowhere to hide, and they were pulled out and strangled one by one.
After coiling around the "Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends" for several laps, under the leadership of Lei Chuan, he finally left this extreme terrain. Next is a relatively flat mountain road, walking along the aerial plank road, it took several days, and the alliance finally came to the place where the capital of Lingyue was located.
As soon as they saw this tragic spectacle, everyone's eyes widened one by one, and they were the same as Lei Chuan's expression at the beginning, or even worse.
"Alright, let's go in, we'll be in the city tonight."
At the critical moment, Lei Chuan said something faintly, interrupting everyone's confused state.
After settling down in the city, the elders couldn't wait to begin studying the direction of the ancestral land.
In the previous cleanup operation, Lei Chuan did not move the position of the corpse too much, and even after moving, he put it back to keep the battlefield intact as much as possible.
The orientation and distribution of the corpses of the alien race can still deduce the location of the ancestral land of the human race, which is not only known to Lei Chuan, but also known to all the elders, among whom there are many knowledgeable people, who can extract a lot of useful information from just the clues.
Elder Ma, from most of the Heavenly Fire Department, is one hundred and seventy years old, not good at fighting, but he has been in charge of the Heavenly Fire Department Library for nearly one hundred and thirty years, all the books have been turned over by him, after the alliance was established, the treasury of the rest of the tribes has not escaped his "clutches", and now the entire alliance, the light is knowledgeable, except for the Xuanniao Wu Gong, there is only Elder Ma.
This old man is not only knowledgeable in theory, but also respects practice, and he must bow down to everything, so now, everyone invited him and Xuanniao Wugong out.
Along the way, Elder Ma held a pen while considering the corpses of alien races scattered on the ground, and at the same time scribbled on parchment.
The elders cautiously followed the two of them, trying not to disturb their work by making noises, and even restraining their breathing.
"Well, almost!"
Finally, after walking more than ten miles outside the city, Elder Ma stopped and raised the densely painted parchment on his hand to everyone.
On the other side, Xuanniao Wu Gong also finished his work and nodded to everyone.
"The location of the ancestral land is still uncertain, but the location of the next boundary monument can be located with seventy percent certainty."
"Really?"
"It's so good!"
……
The elders were all very happy, and they all asked the two of them for the specific location.
"Clear! Eliminate! ”
Elder Ma coughed heavily, his face dissatisfied.
"You're all talking, how can I hear you? Now everyone shut up and listen to me slowly......"
The combat power is not strong, he is a lot older, and his temper is not small. Each of the elders dared to make Elder Ma angry, and everyone present was a junior of Elder Ma, so they all obediently closed their mouths and listened to what the old man said.
"According to the inference of my predecessors and that of Xuanniao, the corpses of these horror tribes are distributed along the way from the city to the northeast city gate, and there is a corpse left at almost every step, so it can be known that some of the ancestors successfully escaped, but they were still pursued by the alien army led by the horror race, and they fought and fled all the way, and the corpses were gone here, but there were no corpses of the ancestors correspondingly, so it can be known that the pursuit was not over......"
The next words will be followed by Xuanniao Wu Gong:
"According to the old and decrepit people's understanding of the structure of the Lingyue capital during this time, the plank road extending from the capital to the east, and the experience of reading the books, we have been able to determine how far this place is from the next boundary monument!"
Before the elders could speak, Elder Ma impatiently took over the conversation and continued:
"Go! Send people to continue to track down this road, record the location of the alien corpses you see along the way, don't move, and don't continue to track after the last corpse has not been found again within 3,000 miles, and when the scouts come back to tell the truth, there is a nearly ninety percent chance that the location of the second boundary pillar can be determined! ”
After Elder Ma finished speaking, the elders did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered scouts to be sent to investigate.
……
A day later, the alliance leader Flame Star Luo took the information from the scouts, and the elders personally found Elder Ma and Xuanniao Wugong, and said to them in a calm tone:
"As the two elders expected, along the way more than two thousand miles, a total of twenty-seven horrified corpses were found, three human corpses, as far as two thousand five hundred miles, and no corpses were found after three thousand miles.
Elder Ma and Xuanniao Wugong only nodded after hearing this, and did not show much surprise.
There was a dead silence on the field. After being silent for a long time, one of the elders finally couldn't hold his breath and asked:
"Now, the two elders should be able to determine the location of Boundary Pillar No. 2!"
Elder Ma and Xuanniao Wugong glanced at each other and nodded to each other. In the end, it was the Xuanniao Wu Gong who stood up and answered everyone's questions:
"After this, the Terror Race should have retreated, and the Terran ancestors should have successfully escaped, and after a short stay in Qingfei City, they retreated in the direction of the Terran ancestral land, and what we are going to follow now is the old path of these ancestors. If there is no estimation error, the location of the No. 2 boundary monument is directly east and north of Lingyue Xiaofu, and after passing through the two small mansions, the whole city is 186,700 li! ”
