"Sad? Of course it will, so Althea you have to take care of yourself, don't take any risks, and if you're in danger, just run. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Marlon looked at Althea's flushed face, a little inexplicable, but still replied honestly.

"But...... Ma Long, you are different from your father, aren't you my relatives? Why...... Why are you sad for me? ”

Althea staggered, feeling that she was getting closer and closer to the answer to a little secret in her heart.

"Because ......"

As soon as Malone said two words, he was interrupted by a shout from a distance.

"Chief Lothar, have you found a suitable place to cross the river?"

Paul shouted at the top of his voice as he ran from the north to the bank of the river where Marlon was.

"Almost, what about you?"

Marlon stood up, then reached out to Althea, trying to pull her to her feet.

However, it seems that Althea is not the kind of weak woman who is helpless, and she jumps from the ground with agility, not even using her hands to support the grass below.

"We didn't find a suitable location...... The water over there is too deep. ”

Several Xiquan garrisons led by Paul came to Marlon and Althea, and said with some regret.

"The water here is only up to my calf, and I guess the water in the center of the river is probably just above my knees; If you don't have any catches, I think this is the perfect place to be. ”

Malone said to his men.

"That's great...... Let's cross the river here. Chief Lothar? ”

Paul asked excitedly.

"When Daddy Erro catches up, let's discuss it again, if nothing else, it should be."

Malone replied.

"I have one more question...... Chief Lothar, why is Lady Althea looking at me like this? Am I doing something wrong? ”

Paul cautiously leaned closer to Marlon, leaned into his ear, and asked quietly.

"I don't know...... Maybe you just scared her out loud? ”

Marlon didn't have a clue either, so he could only guess uncertainly.

Of course, Althea was very angry - she was about to ask some important things from Marlon, but she was interrupted by this big soldier! It's infuriating!

Althea, who was a little depressed in her heart, couldn't say it directly, so she could only angrily kick the grassroots by the river with her boots to relieve her hatred.

Marlon made a mark by the river, instructed Paul and the others to look around for anything unusual, and began to think about the next way out for the refugee team.

By the time Elo Eberlock and Richard the Bearded arrived with a team of refugees, Malone and the two camp leaders had a small "meeting" on the side of the road.

"Are we going to cross the river here? But...... Isn't the Twilight Forest a little more dangerous than the Elwyn Forest? Why don't we cross the river when we're done in the Elwyn Forest and close to Nighttown? ”

Richard raised his own questions.

"My team and I just came across a gnolla camp not far from here...... We eliminated a small number of gnolls, and most of them ran away. I don't think it's safe if we continue along the main road to the north. ”

Malone briefly recounted the encounter with the Gnoll camp, and then explained it to Richard.

"And crossing the river now can not only avoid those gnolls, but also reduce the chance of encountering orcs."

Elo Eberlock spoke his mind - as a priest, he was not good at and did not like fighting, so he wanted this refugee team to avoid these dangers.

"Since you all say so, then I don't have a problem...... It's just that there are so many of us, if there is no bridge, is it a little difficult to cross the river? ”

Richard nodded, agreeing with Malone and Elo Eberlock, before asking.

"It's a little difficult, but ...... I think it's all overcome. The specific details still need to be organized by Daddy Erro and Uncle Richard. ”

Malone said.

"I see, it's all right."

Elo Eberlock took the lead, and then walked to the group of refugees who were still slowly moving along the main road.

"Everyone, stop, I have something to say!"

Elo Eberlock walked to the front of the refugee line, his hands raised and shouted.

The procession of more than 200 people was not long, and the refugees moved slowly with their families and mouths, and soon stopped.

Those who are weaker take advantage of this opportunity to stop and rest. Curious, they gathered around Elo Eberlock, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"Next, we're going to cross the river here, and we'll finish the rest of the journey to Nighttown on the other side."

As soon as Elo Eberlock spoke, everyone in the refugee group was taken by surprise.

"Crossing the river? But Mr. Ellro, my old bones are already struggling to walk on the road, and this is ...... And there is no bridge? How could I possibly wade through? ”

At the head of the crowd, an elderly man whispered to Elo Eberlock.

"Don't worry, Pama Parma, there are so many young lads here, they will all help you. Listen to me, although there is no bridge here, the water is not deep, and it is very safe. ”

"The men are responsible for helping the women, the children, and the elderly, so that they can cross the river first, and the necessary baggage in the team should also be brought along, and the other useless things should be thrown away first, do you have any questions?"

Elo Eberlock calmed the crowd and then loudly announced the details of the crossing.

"Nope."

"Nope."

……

Elo Eberlock is still very prestigious in the refugee ranks, and after so many days, everyone has seen his dedication in caring for the wounded; At times like these, a pastor, a doctor, always reassures people.

Although the refugees did not move neatly and quickly, they were few in number, and with the help of the Xiquan garrison, the refugees packed their belongings, put them together, and then walked to the river, waiting to start crossing the river.

"Paul, you take a few people over there first, after all, it's a forest, maybe there will be some wild beasts."

Malone commanded.

"Understood, Chief Lothar."

Paul nodded, then picked up his spear, beckoned to a few of his comrades in the Westspring garrison, took off their armor, rolled up their trouser legs, took off their boots, and waded across the Elwin River.

Malone looked at Paul and the others nervously, although there was no wind and waves on the Elvin River, the water surface was very stable, there had been no rain in the past few days, and the river was very shallow, but the future of hundreds of people was at stake, and Malone was still a little nervous in his heart.
