The Cordile Mountains are a long mountain range between the Grand Duchy of Aowei and the Middle Empire. As the boundary between the two countries, the importance of the military status of this mountain range is needless to say. On both sides of the mountain, both countries have arranged corps for defense, and border guards patrol and set up checkpoints everywhere, maintaining a high level of vigilance at all times.
The northern part of the mountain range plunges into the kingdom of Kimo in the north, and the southern part reaches deep into a no-man's land. There are only a few direct canyons that can be passed through for thousands of kilometres, and the rest are steep cliffs. Although the overall height of the mountains is not impressive, it takes a lot of effort to climb the mountains, so these canyons are the most important passages.
At present, it is naturally unrealistic for Anne and her party to drive a carriage and cross the mountains. So the two paladins didn't think much about it at all, and headed straight towards the valley.
The mountains in the wind and snow were covered in white, while the valley looked gloomy. In contrast, the black valley is like a huge open mouth, ready to swallow those who come close to it at any time.
The two paladin coachmen had previously served as Herbert's heralds, so they also had some counter-reconnaissance capabilities. The two soon realized that something was wrong.
An hour earlier, they had passed by a large corps garrison in the Grand Duchy of Aowe, and had been easily let go as the two paladin coachmen had re-changed their armor.
According to their guess, it should be the last large garrison of the Grand Duchy's border guards, and there should be small garrisons on the real border.
But now they had reached the entrance to the canyon, and there was no sign of a single person. However, on both sides of the canyon there were clear places for the defenders to rest.
One of the two sharp-eyed pointed to the side: "Look over there." ”
Following the direction of his companion's finger, the other paladin immediately spotted the marks of a motley horse's hooves on another road leading to the canyon. Because it snows all the time these days, horses' hooves crossing the snow will melt the snow and make the muddy roads look unbearable. At a cursory glance, the number of horses is not small.
The horseshoe prints were covered with only a very thin layer of snow, so it is clear that the men who entered the valley did not walk long. The two paladin coachmen felt that the situation here was a little strange, but they didn't know what it all meant. While hesitating, Anne and the vicious dog poked their heads out of the carriage.
"Why don't you leave?" Anne asked.
The two were about to answer, when the sharp-eyed vicious dog had already jumped out of the carriage and jumped in three or two steps near the intricately hoof prints in front of him, his sensitive nose sniffing carefully on it. Then the vicious dog ran to the middle of the canyon entrance and looked inside.
The canyon twists and turns, combined with the rugged mountains and trees growing on both sides, so tightly wrapping what might be hidden inside, there is no problem at all. However, Pije and the two paladin charioteers had the same idea, and it was impossible for such an important pass to not have a defender.
When things go wrong, there must be demons. Pije turned his head to look at Anne, and the meaning in his eyes was clear: whether to keep walking.
Xiao Nizi asked him, "What did you smell just now?" ”
“…… It's nothing. The vicious dog replied. He only smelled one smell of horse manure, mixed with all the others. These things aren't of much use right now, but they'll be useful when they get to the canyon.
Anne looked to the left and right, then looked up at the steep mountain, frowned slightly, and said with determination, "Go on." ”
Hearing her say this, the two paladin coachmen had no choice but to comply. On the one hand, they didn't know what kind of danger was in the canyon, and on the other hand, they knew very well what Anne's status as a fallen angel meant, and since she said to go forward, there must be no problem.
But they didn't hear a sentence that Xiao Nizi said to herself in the carriage: "Die, die, I won't climb the mountain anyway." ”
This time, the vicious dog Pijie did not jump into the carriage, but ran ahead of the horse, sniffing around while sticking out his tongue as "Hachi Hachi". Because of the physical characteristics of canine animals, although he was galloping all the way, Piger didn't feel much tired.
The roads in the canyon are not good, and there are large and small gravel everywhere. Fortunately, there are not too many obstacles, and you can pass through three or two rounds.
Alice in the carriage has been complaining about the pain, she has been overdrawn because of the continuous consumption of the holy light, and now she is suffering from such bumps, Alice feels that her chest and abdomen are overturned: "Annie...... What is this place that I feel my ...... My stomach is coming upside down......"
Betty had been quiet all the time, curled up in a corner. Its body was soft and light, and the bumps in the carriage were like a cradle in the eyes of this stupid cat, and there was no pain at all.
As he runs, Pyrpy looks around from time to time, ostensibly out of curiosity about new things, but in fact the vicious dog is watching for ambushes on either side.
Ever since he saw those messy horseshoe prints at the entrance to the canyon, the vicious dog has been plagued by doubts. He didn't know if this series of anomalies had anything to do with him. If so, what exactly are the origins of those who entered the valley, recruited from the Duchy of Finnel or from Half Moon City? What was the purpose of those people entering the valley, did they want to put on a show here?
At first, it was all just Piger's guesses. But as he went deeper, he became more and more sure of the correctness of his guesses, for the smell of his nose gradually became stronger, indicating that the men were still hidden in the valley, and not far ahead.
The vicious dog immediately told Anne about the situation through the psychic connection. Xiao Nizi was very righteous and said directly: "Then let's stop here for a while, you go to the front and deal with those people first-by the way, remember to catch one alive and come back, you can ask who sent them by whom." ”
Pije bared his teeth in anger. He knew that if these people were intercepted by the consul Kansa, there must be a legendary-level master in them. As a glorious flame dog, he has lived desperately for so long before he has only risen to the level of legend, and if he encounters two legendary-level masters of the light race, he will be destroyed in a few minutes if he is unlucky.
If that's the case, the losses of the Night Race will be too great. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
