Chapter 101: Heading South
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Yalinda walked towards Austin with dark circles under his eyes, and in the second half of the night, when he kept vigil for the most tiring night he had arranged, he found that there was indeed no enemy pursuit, but only a few more coyote and violent bear carcasses next to the camp, which had been quietly disposed of, and did not even alarm the resting warriors.
The appearance of coyotes is not surprising, they are known as cockroaches in the wilderness and can survive no matter what the situation. The appearance of the violent bear was a bit abrupt, and it should have been the battle of Cold River City that woke them up from hibernation.
The lingering vultures and crows in the sky have been hovering above their heads, following from the city of Cold River to the present, and occasionally the warriors have to shoot away when they swoop down, and Austin can even see the remnants of flesh at the corners of their mouths.
There were more than 5,000 people before, but now there are only more than 1,000 people, most of them are injured, but fortunately there are no serious injuries.
Thinking about it, it also understands that they would rather end their lives with a grenade than become a burden to their comrades or become a half-human, half-beast monster that has been eroded by the black fog.
It had nothing to do with faith, nothing to do with conspiracy, and no coercive command, but almost everyone chose to do it, and Austin seemed to feel that he had caught something, but he couldn't tell.
Everyone had a grief that could not be concealed, and even some soldiers came to their senses after a night, the tension that death would come at any time was not there, but let out a low sob, which was the blood left on their faces by their comrades who could never be seen again, and the wounds left in the hearts of their comrades-in-arms who blocked a knife for themselves.
The veterans are accustomed to seeing life and death, and they scold, but their eyes are red unconsciously.
Yalinda frowned and looked at Fu Kun, who shook his head, there is still some benefit to releasing emotions at this time, at least there is no need to be depressed.
The weather in the north is changeable, yesterday it was snowing heavily, and after the night it was sunny again, the sun was still hiding behind thick clouds, but the air was a little warmer.
More than a thousand people barely expelled the array, walking in the snow one foot deep and one foot shallow. Naturally, there were no horses, and there was not much left of the marching rations, so Austin and the others had to organize hunting teams and collect everything that could be eaten, and the wolves and various beasts that were originally the most common hunters were now facing a group of elite warriors with the same green light in their eyes, and they could only enter the stomachs of others.
Although there are no supplies, the soldiers are surprisingly abundant in bullets, and they can even use mechanical composite guns to shoot down vultures in the sky to improve their food, after all, wolf meat is sour and wolf's bloody stink, which is not a delicious delicacy, and violent bears are not very frequent in this season.
The water source is very easy to solve, some of the hunting teams directly drink wolf blood, and if they are particular about it, they will boil the ice and snow on the ground, these are simple operations for the supernatural, this is not expected that they will live such a difficult life one day.
Half a day after departure, Rhine said that he had used a special channel in the Holy See to contact the temple in Beiwang City, and naturally someone would come to answer him, which greatly relieved the decision-makers.
At the same time, if you pass through Hanjiang City and Beiwang City Defense Area to reach the main city, it will take at least ten days at the current speed, not to mention the possible bad weather and changes such as wandering mobs, even the injured soldiers need urgent treatment, otherwise minor injuries will cause a lot of trouble.
The destruction of the human body by the black mist makes the human immune system extremely fragile, and even if the ability to dispel and heal is still limited, the improvement is limited, and Rhine refuses to strike again after performing a wide range of recovery in one place, saying that he wants to conserve his strength to deal with emergencies, and only a few people notice his trembling hands and fine lines at the corners of his eyes.
Immortal Light Lock, Holy Light Priest Rhine, finally still a little unable to hold on, the degradation of certain abilities made the years appear on his face again, more ferocious than the first time.
There were no dangers along the way, and after three days finally the men were ushered in, and there were enough horses and food for the warriors to cheer into the sky.
The leader of the receiver is also a sixth-order, which seems a little unusual, Locke secretly told Austin that this is one of his clan brothers, who broke through the sixth-order before the age of thirty, is one of the rare talents of the main family, and is also the flag of the main family to suppress other families.
Since Beiwangcheng discharged such a figure to meet them, it was natural to recognize their merits and no longer pursue their defeat. The other party is too weird, and there are some things that no one can think of before.
The answerer whispered a few orders and discussed something with the rest of the candidates, Rhine beckoned to Austin, Locke and Yalinda to signal them to come over, Austin noticed that the answerer's eyebrows were slightly out of shape, it should be a natural existence of some kind of ability to develop to the high ascension realm, and he could only vaguely see the corners of his mouth and delicate facial features.
This is also a person from the military department, and the Holy See did not let the Operations Department and the Inquisition assist after receiving the news from Rhine, which made Austin feel a little uneasy.
"You have played a vital role in this battle, and now there is news that I think you should have the right to know. ”
After listening to Rhine's words, the atmosphere became more and more solemn, and sure enough, the first sentence of the receiver made the three of them change their faces: "The tribes of the Northern Barbarians have gone south, collectively going south, and the northern defense line is ...... There is already a war. ”
