Chapter 83: Pursuit and Escape (1)

After regrouping his words, he continued, "I was going to send a group of high wizards and killers to help you suppress the situation, but the seas to the west have not been very quiet lately, and even the largest deep-water port city in your northwest near them, Kosti City, has undergone some changes. I have heard that the Karui of Kudugu have driven some barbarian tribes of other faiths to the land of the AIDS people, and we must send men to clear the surrounding transport roads, but you yourself are doing a good job at the moment. ”

His projection illusion turned to Clement and said, "Mr. Clement, you are now the agent of our Federation in this land, so the placement of the Stormy Bloody Blade Warriors brought by Maligaro from the Palmers Continent will also be handled by you. Based on this operation and the long-term employment agreement, we need to give them some communication privileges in this territory. At the same time, in accordance with the provisions of the contract, 10% of the profits from the bulk trade in goods collected by the city of Sarn are provided to them every year as development funds. “

"I'll have my secretary send you a copy later. You can order them to assist you in pacifying and co-opting the local forces, and trust that our wizards will be much safer with them on the charge. However, it is also necessary to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, after all, it is easy to destroy, but difficult to build. Let them become the thugs in the places where we control, and it is the best arrangement for us to be powerful in those places. ”

Clement smiled and bowed slightly in a slightly humble and deferential manner, "It is a great honor to serve the great you. ”

......

The Sarn Highlands, on the snowy fields to the northwest.

The pursuers who came in a hurry lowered their heads slightly and saw only the bright white flowers and snow water, and the strong light reflected from the ground made people have to squint their eyes to observe the road.

Otherwise, over time, they will develop snow blindness.

Along the way, you can only see one steep mountain peak after another.

The peaks are covered with perennial snow, and the mountainside is exposed with weathered rocks of various shapes, and the melted snow water flows through the cracks of these caves to the valley floor.

The streams at the bottom of the valley are mostly black trees, and the stones are often covered with a thick layer of dark green moss.

These black forests, made up mainly of boreal vegetation and the surrounding rocks, protrude into the sky like a barrage of spears in the hands of swaggering soldiers.

In the nearby mountains, although there are occasional business travelers who are greedy for convenience, they pass through this snow-covered mountainous area.

But obviously in this inaccessible wilderness, don't expect any easy path.

"Ahh

A low-ranking wizard slipped on his feet, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

A centipede-like cut hung out of his long robe, and his calves were raised by sharp stones from the river beach, scraping off a large layer of flesh and skin, exposing bloody muscle fibers and capillaries.

The wizard was already tired and tired, and suddenly he clutched his legs and stomach in agony, and sat down on the rocky slope.

A group of more than 30 full-time professionals of different levels did not have the extra mana to bless themselves and their companions with various lightweight spells.

Because sudden battles may be faced at any time in the wilderness, no spellcaster will encounter greed, and in the dangerous wilderness, all mana is consumed on the road.

What's more, in the mental exhaustion of the long journey, they had neither the time nor the way to recover their mana through meditation.

Such a terrible angular boulder and gravel valley road is not easy to use [Summoning Mount].

Because the summoned light horses or ponies are not suitable for walking on this terrain at all, because the semi-solidified snow and frost on the surface of the stone will make the horses' hooves slip.

If you're not careful, I'm afraid that even a rider will fall into the valley.

Take advantage of this opportunity.

The wizards and warriors who walked in front all stopped, ready to take the opportunity to relax and rest for a while.

A wizard in a short-sleeved robe, who was good at healing spells, sighed helplessly, and with a thin triangular chin with a goatee, he turned around and walked slowly back a few steps to the wounded man to observe the wound.

Then.

I saw that his hands were glowing with white light, and he cast a spell to treat minor injuries, preparing to heal his companion's wounds quickly.

The spells in this world are indeed convenient.

In just a few breaths, the injured person grew a new layer of skin under the effect of the healing spell, which was tightly covered with the wound.

Seeing this, Aury Lines, who took the lead, loosened his frowning brow, and anxiously waved his hand to urge: "Let's go, according to the temperature of the embers of the campfire found in the morning, we are only more than 4 or 5 hours away from the target." ”

The exhausted warriors also looked at each other, in fact, whether it was a wizard or a warrior, they were tired and unwilling to continue to hurry, but they didn't dare to say anything to refute their superiors, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Fortunately.

The highest-ranking temporary attendant wizard stepped forward to speak: "Everyone is too tired today, walking on the chaotic river beach and rocky roads for two consecutive days, and the ground is still very slippery. I think the other person should stop and rest. It's going to get dark. It's better to camp and rest, wait for tomorrow to recuperate, and catch up tomorrow when it is dawn. ”

Ori Lines was a little displeased, pointed to the top of a mountain peak in the distance opposite, and said: "It's better to climb over that mountain today, and when we get to the top of the mountain, we can use spells to predict the direction, so as not to take a fork in the road! If we go fast, we can block them today!"

But the wizard who led the group interrupted her.

He pointed to the orange sun on the horizon and said, "It's dusk now, and the other party may indeed set up camp." But now even the warriors are very tired, and even if we catch up, we don't have the strength to fight. The other party has a master of both law and martial arts, and if we catch up so tiredly, it will only increase the casualties. Since you may catch them tomorrow, why don't you put aside the safe method of nine out of ten!"

Aury Lyonston was a little speechless, because what the other party said was not unreasonable, but he didn't know why he just had a bad feeling of being very irritable today.

He turned his head to look at a few of his fellow disciples, and saw that they were also silently looking down at the ground or elsewhere, as if they didn't want to chase too quickly.

Moreover, the composition of this pursuit team is already very complicated, and no one can occupy an absolute dominant position.

Some of them were members of the Council of Sarn, including several wizards who had defected after the fall of Griff, and there were more than a dozen of them, accounting for about 30% of the team, led by the wizard who had just spoken.
