Chapter 29: Escape from Suolong
After rescuing the clansmen, the Streamers had no worries and quickly fled from Suolong City. Even though the Savoyard had the advantage in numbers, it was difficult for them to use their strength on the crowded city roads, and their speed and agility were far inferior to those of the Streamers. Of course, the Savoyards would not chase them directly to the Sirvenian forest without preparation for the sake of a few fleeing aliens, they just made a symbolic search on the outskirts of the city, and withdrew without finding anyone.
When he was far away from Suolong City, the streamer stopped for a short rest. Although Moye had been through many life-and-death dilemmas, he had never experienced a real war, so he couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Will the Sava Edicts then send troops south to declare war in the Sylvenian Forest?"
"They'll go, but not so quickly, at least in a few dozen days. Priest Sylven said.
The streamers are much stronger than the Savie, so every time the Sava army goes south, the strength of the Sava army will not be less than 500,000. And with such a large army, it takes a lot of time just to prepare military funds. What's more, in the past few decades since the Sirvens migrated to the Western Continent, dozens of wars have continued to take place, so the reserves of all kinds of materials of the Savoy people are not very sufficient.
"Shall we take advantage of this time to start building ships?" asked Xiliu.
Before the priest could speak, Mono was surprised, "Shipbuilding?"
"Well, because we are preparing to leave for our homeland, we want to cross the sea to the Eastern Continent as soon as possible and find all the scattered clansmen first. Xiliu explained.
"The last time we parted in the forest, the priest did say that he would leave for his homeland as soon as possible, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, after all, homeland is not a distance that can be walked by walking. Mano remembers that the priest had asked him if he wanted to go with him, and he was a little hesitant at the time, but now he had no worries.
"But," worries Weststream, "if we want to build ships, we will probably have to use the southeast coast, which is the closest to the forest, but there is a military port of the Savoyards nearby, and they cannot turn a blind eye to what is happening along that stretch of coastline." Besides, these dozens of days alone are not enough to build all the ships......"
"It is true that if war were to be provoked, it would delay our return to our homeland, and that shipbuilding on the east coast would easily attract the attention of the Lepelians. Once the Lepeilian people of the Eastern Continent are aware of our intention to return to the Eastern Continent in advance, it will not be long before there will be one war after another waiting for us on the west coast of the Eastern Continent. The priest said thoughtfully, "If possible, it is best to hide from all the eyes and ears of the Eastern Continent before setting sail." But if we really can't, then we have to fight, after all, there are still many scattered clansmen in the Eastern Continent, and it has now become the only way for us to return to our homeland. ”
"So, if you want to hide from the Lepeilian people in the Eastern Continent, you must first hide it from the Sava people, right?" asked Mono. While the Savoyard might be happy to learn that they were leaving, the most important thing was not to let the Lepelians of the Eastern Continent know too soon.
"Yes," said Weststream, "but as long as they build on the shores near the forest, it is impossible to hide from them, and it seems that war is inevitable......
"I do know of a more secluded place...... "Mano hesitated for a moment before continuing, "maybe we can avoid the sight of the Sava people, and if we can set sail from there, even the Lepelians of the Eastern Continent won't be so easy to detect." ”
"Where is it?" the priest immediately asked.
"Honia," Mono said, "it's one of the most remote towns in the Kingdom of Savoy, on the coastline of the northeastern corner of the Western Continent. The Savoyard do not seem to have paid much attention to the mountainous terrain that is not conducive to grazing, and so far there has been no garrison. But there is an excellent natural harbour, hidden in the back of the Essetti Mountains, and above all, there is a lot of timber suitable for shipbuilding in the mountains and forests of the area. However, we must be careful to avoid the sight of the Savoyards and quietly climb over the Essetti hills......"
From Solong City to the small town of Honia in the northeast, even the walking speed of the streamers will take at least thirty days or so. If you start from the Silvenian Forest in the south, it will take about 40 days, which is not close, not to mention the trekking over the Essetti Mountains, the highest in the western continent. However, as long as you can avoid the many eyes and ears of the Lepelian people in the Western Continent, and avoid war as much as possible, it is worth the long distance. But Mo Ye's words are obviously not finished yet, maybe there are some scruples, everyone can feel it, and Priest Sylven is naturally no exception. He had to understand the local situation so as not to come into conflict with the local residents, so he asked, "Who lives in that town?"
"There aren't many people there, but if you can get them to help and borrow that port, it will save you a lot of trouble......" Mono looked a little worried, because he wasn't sure if they were willing to help.
Hearing this, Xiliu couldn't help but wonder, "Why do we need their help? Besides, the Sava people won't help us." ”
"No, no, I'm not talking about the Savoyards, who are rarely seen there. "Actually, over the years, that town has almost become a supply base for the Fiji pirates. However, since Honia is far away from the capital city of Solong, and is separated by the Essetti Mountains in between, the Savoyans should not have noticed it. ”
"Do you think the Fitans would be willing to take the risk of landing on land to help us?" said Weststream, surprised.
"All I know is that they often go to Honia to pick up supplies, and I don't know exactly when they started. But......" Mono still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, he looked at the priest and continued, "The shipbuilding skills and seafaring ability of the Fiji people are among the best in this world, and if we can get their help, it will be relatively easy for us to cross the sea. ”
Indeed, "the seafaring skills of the Fiji people are beyond doubt, and the priests have known it more than a thousand years ago." "Do you think we need to check first?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I meant. "In the past, I used to travel between the eastern and western continents with the half-blood merchant fleet, and I had several encounters with the Fiji pirates in the western sea, and I also had some encounters with the pirate chieftains. I suppose they would at least be willing to talk to me if I did, but I'm not sure if they would have agreed to help. If they say yes, they will most likely make some demands on us. But if we don't agree, then we will waste dozens of days in vain......"
"I'll go with you. The priest made a decision without any hesitation. Because he felt that it was necessary to at least fight for a relatively safer way for his people to cross the West Sea, and whether it would be a waste of time, it would not be known until after he had been there.
"Good. Mono immediately responded. Although it is not yet certain whether the Fiji people will help or not, it is worth a try anyway, and only in this way can we avoid the many eyes and ears of the Lepeilian people of the Eastern Continent who are scattered near Suolong City.
After deciding on the matter, the priest turned his gaze to the silver-haired Rysersi and asked softly, "Tell me your name." ”
"I'm Chimo, priest. The young Rysersi replied briefly, placing his palms gently together at the heart as a sign of respect for the streamer. When he was born, the Sylven people had already left the Eastern Continent, and the Sylven priests had not seen him before, and naturally did not know his name.
"Well," said the priest, "you go back to the forest with them, and in a short time we will be on our way back to our homeland." ”
Hearing this, Chi Mo couldn't help but feel joy, this is the only wish of all Streamer people. He had waited so long in solitude, finally freed from his bonds, and no longer had to fight for his life in the Colosseum, and he would fight alongside his people on his way home.
Before leaving, the priest instructed the people: "If the army of Saview has reached the forest before I return, do not rush to the battle, and delay as long as you can, at least for three days, and then go out to meet the battle." ”
After that, the priest and the demon field hurriedly set out on their journey to the Northlands.
