Chapter 138: Suspicion (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Subscription, Recommendation)
There was a deep sadness and eagerness between Bud's brows, and he finally waited for the agreed time to return.
"No, we can't wait, we have to get out of here."
"Why don't you wait, just leave ......," I said with some confidence.
"Sunwind, you have to remember that a promise is a contract, and you can't break it because of some inexplicable worry, maybe they are rushing to the next stronghold now, or maybe they are hiding somewhere waiting for the enemy to disperse? If so, what's the point of us waiting here. Bard said to me solemnly.
Hearing this, I was a little ashamed, and what Bard said was reasonable, and I was a little bit of a mistake.
"Okay, we'll leave now."
"I think we might as well wait, there is no fierce conflict ahead, there is no undead in the brigade, and besides, I have a feeling that leaving the situation will become very dangerous, so I suggest that it is better to wait." Just as we were all about to leave, Andrew the Necromancer said.
Bud's face changed slightly, he couldn't tell if it was because his subordinates made a fool of himself in front of everyone or because Andrew didn't hear his explanation, anyway, Bud didn't speak in a good tone, "Absolutely not, we have to leave, if you stay here and be discovered by the enemy, can you afford to pay this responsibility?" ”
Andrew the Necromancer looked at me, finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
"Here, let's continue to walk down the mountain!" Seeing that Andrew softened, Bard's face softened a little and turned towards the foot of the mountain.
The general direction of the road taken by Bard has not changed, it is still in the direction of the pass to the east, but it is not the same as the original plan to cross the southwest bridge of Andorhar and take the main road to continue along the foot of the mountain.
The official road outside the south-west bridge of Andohal runs parallel to the Alterac Mountains, and if you sprint, you can reach the pass in an hour, but the foot of the mountain is different, although it is closer. But it was very difficult to walk, especially for an abomination of Goddor's size.
If nothing else, it is impossible to reach the pass in three hours.
There were two more hours for no reason, but for safety, we had to continue to "slow down" at the bottom of the mountain.
After crossing the southwest bridge outside of Andorhar, the Oakland Mountains are moving away from Andorhal, and if you add the river and more and more silver pine trees south of Andorhal, we are safe now.
However, as I kept shuttling through the giant trees one after another, I also had a bad feeling in my heart.
Be quiet. It was so quiet, there was no roar of the undead, no insects and birds chirping, it was not normal, it was not normal at all.
If there is no insect and bird cry, I can still accept it, after all, this is the land of plague, maybe the small animals have been killed by the plague, but the sound of the undead is a bit excessive.
You know, it was because of Wells' marks that we left off the original route and continued along the foothills, and there were no thieves ahead of us. How is it possible that after walking for more than two hours, not a single undead spirit has been encountered?
Although it is more than a kilometer away from Andohal in a straight line, it is still within the range of Andorhar, and it is impossible for the undead to wander here.
And. What puzzled me the most was that I didn't hear a single sound of fighting along the way, especially when passing by the southwest bridge of Andorhar. It was as quiet as when I first came out of the cave.
Didn't you say that the outpost was in danger? Isn't it said that only when something irresistible happens will the "×" be engraved?
Why don't I see anything?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong.
"Uncle Bud, isn't it too safe around here!" I said to Bard in front of me.
Bud didn't look back. Just said lightly: "Isn't it safe?" Do you have to get a soldier? ”
"Uh, yes!" I uttered a casual remark, then stole behind me, and my gaze passed through Godor and Carol, and I saw Andrew, the necromancer who was just as troubled as I was.
Could it be that he did it? It's not quite like it, looking at his dead face, it seems that he is also confused by what happened along the way, is he hiding too deeply? It's possible that this girl hasn't spoken much from beginning to end, and reticenity is the best way to hide.
But outside the South-West Bridge in Andorhar, why did he contradict Bud?
Could it be that Bard is the problem, I shook my head vigorously, shaking the ridiculous idea out of my head.
Bard was the hero who helped us get out of this predicament, how could we doubt him, if he had any bad intentions, he would have a thousand ways to kill me while I was in the forest, the simplest of which was to leak out my whereabouts.
In the face of the natural disasters and undead all over the mountains, I will never be able to escape.
But he didn't do that, but took great pains to choose a safe path for me to bypass the battlefield, so Bard should have no problem.
As for Godor and Carol, it is even more unlikely.
So, what went wrong?
"Rifeng, do you feel something is wrong?" Just then, Tyran Fordin whispered to me.
I looked at Tyran Fording in amazement, and this kid actually felt it? "Well, something is wrong, I always feel a feeling of thunder and rain, and even dry thunder does not rain."
Tyran Fordin nodded and said, "That's right, it's not right that the road that should have been more dangerous has become safe after seeing the '×' mark. ”
"Oh? What do you think about this? I asked quietly.
Tyran Foding lowered his voice a little more and said, "I guess we have been deceived, and the person who deceived us is ......" Although Tyran Foding did not say who was cheating, he pressed his chin forward, and the meaning was self-evident.
The person in question is none other than Bud the Leader.
"No way, Bud is the person who helped us the most, without him, maybe I would have been caught by the Scourge of the Dead." I argued.
Tyran Fording said, "Don't jump to conclusions, I'll give you my opinion. ”
"The first person to spot the mark was Bard, right? And have you noticed that at the stake, Bard had a stop, well...... About ten seconds or so, long enough for him to carve the mark he wanted on the stake. ”
"Besides, after crossing the Andohar Southwest Bridge, is it a little too safe, I don't believe that there is no one to command, and those brainless zombies will empty this road."
"And if it's all Bard writing and directing the show, then the two things are closely linked."
"Remember when you told me about 'mutineers'? I think Bard is the new 'renegade' who has defected to the Lich King. ”
