The next day, the wolf summoned the position of the escort regiment. A large group of wolf riders gathered together again, and everyone had impatient looks on their faces.

"Prince, we have searched carefully for miles, but we have not found any trace of human hiding...... Did you guess wrong......" The little wooden wolf reported to the wolf with a bitter face.

"Bastard!"

The wolf was furious: "How can you guess wrong, did you really search carefully?" ”

"Really searched carefully, the traces of two or three hundred people, this chaotic place is a large forest, even if it has been snowing for the past two days, it is still easy to judge if there are people camping - but we really haven't found any traces." The little wooden wolf said in frustration.

"How could it be ......," the wolf wondered.

……

He looked around: "Humans must not be camped in the forest at random, otherwise they would have been bumped into by our soldiers yesterday, but where could that be...... By the way, some caves or something, did you search them? He suddenly remembered the cave that Longer had told him to find, but he asked.

"We've searched everything we can, unless we can't find it." The little wooden five wolves spread their hands.

"That's strange...... "The wolf's eyes roamed around, but he muttered.

……

Suddenly, his gaze froze!

"Look, isn't that ice wall weird?" He raised his saber, but pointed at a wall of ice not far away.

"Nothing weird...... We looked for it at the beginning yesterday. The little wooden wolf looked at it, but said suspiciously.

"Idiot! You're going to find out why for me...... The ice on that ice wall that started at a certain point is like water that once flowed down the ice wall?! And not far from it above and next to it, but there is no trace of water flow?! There's nothing to cover here, doesn't the sun shine on the top or below, just the point on the ice cliff?! ”

The wolf said in a deep voice, but strode over.

"That's right! How I didn't expect that! There are quirks! The little wooden wolf suddenly realized.

"Quick! Come on! He commanded gleefully at the wolf riders behind him.

～～～～～～～～～

"Where are we now?" In the hurried march and silent procession, Xie Ning suddenly stopped.

Everything is quite normal, and the vigilant troops scattered on all sides have not heard any alarm about encountering barbarians so far, but Xie Ning is still faintly a little uneasy, but he has invited a demon war and asked.

Demon Zhan opened the map he was carrying, looked at it, and looked up at Shainin.

"General, we should probably be in the ...... at the moment The northeast of the Far North Snow Forest is about half past twelve in length and about two in width. The barbarian legions were supposed to be spread out on the outskirts of the Far North Forest, at about four o'clock - too close they were likely to be spotted. ”

"How long do you expect to get to the shoreline?"

"If everything goes well, it will take about ten days. It's just that I'm worried that the scholars won't be able to hold on...... "Demon Zhan replied, but he glanced at the scholars who were either pale and silently gritted their teeth and marched, or were unconscious on the back of the Demon War.

"It doesn't matter, the instrument is on the sled, and most of the people are demon warriors - it's just that half of the team's combat strength is abolished." Xie Ning gritted his teeth, but said like this: "But how can we fight? Once found or chased, it is death. ”

……

"Is there enough food?" Xie Ning thought for a while, looked at the forest that usually met a few demonic beasts, but this night was not seen at all, and the whole forest seemed empty, and asked.

"General, this is what I want to report to you." A hint of bitterness suddenly appeared on the face of the demon war: "Our food ...... Not much. The barbarians have captured almost all the demonic beasts in the forest, and we originally planned to hunt the demonic beasts for food, so we didn't bring any supplies......"

"The demon wars are okay, endure it, and hold it out casually for a few days, but the scholars ......" He stopped talking, and his worried face was already overflowing.

……

"Then try to compress the food of the Demon War and distribute it to the scholars - now we can't stop, one more minute of stopping will be dangerous, and when we leave, although the ice wall is sealed as it is, as long as anything is artificial, it will always leave traces, and we can't take all aspects into account in a hurry. I'm worried that the barbarians have found the hole, but they are chasing after it. ”

"And now we can't find food, the barbarians will definitely have a camp for grazing monsters not far south of us, but we can't rob it - if we do, we will expose ourselves. Let's stick to it, and if you get to the beach, you can at least fish. ”

Xie Ning sighed, but said in a deep voice.

……

As he was talking, he saw a sleigh speeding over, Shainin's eyes were fixed, but he had an ominous premonition - it was the sleigh of the guard group.

"General, we are indeed following the pursuing troops!" The sleigh stopped abruptly in front of Xie Ning, and a pale-faced demon battle jumped down, and before the afterglow of the magical energy of the wind sequence had dissipated from him, he said urgently.

"Really?" Xie Ning's face changed suddenly, but he asked urgently.

"Yes, General. We did a lot of that kind of message tree along the way, following your example. I also climbed the tree every once in a while to look through the binoculars, and I fell down several times in a row - we will not be mistaken! It could only be that the formed troops were chasing after them. Demon Zhan said anxiously.

"Looks like we're followed by a cunning barbarian commander......" Xie Ning muttered.

……

"We were discovered? Pursued? What message tree? Yang Linkai was already beside him and asked in a loud voice.

"That's right, sir, the general taught us to make little traps, to attach a tree to a tree with a rope buried in the snow, and if anyone stepped on it, the tree would fall down - so that we could see from a great distance whether anyone was chasing us."

"Not long ago, our rearguard group had already discovered that a few of them had fallen in a row—it could only be that the pursuing troops were following our tracks, and they were probably faster than us."

Demon Zhan looked at Yang Linkai and replied respectfully.

"That's a big deal...... Yang Linkai muttered with a pale face.

"Shainin, order the troops to march quickly, we can't save our strength." He jerked towards Shainin.

"But we won't last long." Xiao Ledong said gloomily on the side: "Everyone is hungry, it's okay to march at a normal speed, I'm afraid that the rapid march won't last long-it's impossible for the sleigh to catch us all, and we can't keep using the magic energy sequence to push the sled to the road, so no one can consume it." ”

He looked at the sled team of scholars under the impetus of the demon war, and said with a bitter face.

……

"It's okay......" Xie Ning took a deep breath.

"The avant-garde group has discovered a lot of barbarian logistical grazing camps for demonic beasts, and now that they have been discovered, we are not worried about being exposed. If we don't do anything, let's talk about a barbarian logistics camp at the south. By then, when we have our fill, we will be at least a lot faster than we are now. As long as the weather is good enough, there is still hope for us to escape. ”

Xie Ning reached out to catch a snowflake, but muttered.

"But...... What if it attracts encirclement and suppression? Yang Linkai frowned.

"Ten out of ten have been encircled and suppressed. I don't know why the barbarians attach so much importance to our small army, but if they do, I don't believe that the barbarian commander will only chase after us, but will not send troops from the front to surround us - would you be so idiotic if it were for you? Shainin said in a deep voice.

……

"So what do we do? Sooner or later, the barbarians will catch up with us, and then there will be interceptions before the pursuers...... How the hell did they find our traces? Academician Qian, who heard the words, suddenly panicked, but asked in a hurry.

"Academician, now is not the time to find out how they discovered our traces. The barbarian pursuers are still a day or two away from us, and as long as the snow does not stop, they must also look carefully to find our traces, and they will not be able to get up quickly. ”

"And even in the worst-case scenario, you don't have to worry, our team, although only half of them are combat power, are all elite - just let the Great Demon War go and serve as the commander of a reconnaissance unit of several hundred people. Therefore, if the barbarians are allocated according to the strength of the pursuit of hundreds of reconnaissance troops...... Then they really feel good enough. ”

Xie Ning said in a deep voice.

……

"Order the avant-garde group to go as far forward as possible and search for the location of the barbarian interception troops. Let's get a little further south, set up a camp, get enough food, and then ......."

"And then?" The three of them asked in unison.

"Then it depends on whether the method taught by the great grandfather can work......" Xie Ning also muttered.

"Grandpa? What did Grandpa teach us? Xiao Ledong muttered in confusion, but saw that the young man had already turned around and went to the team to give orders.

He looked at Yang Linkai suspiciously, but found that Yang Linkai was also full of paste.

～～～～～～～～～

"It seems that the human reconnaissance force we are pursuing has a cunning commander...... This kind of vigilance is something he can think of. The wolf looked at the rope in the snow and muttered.

"Prince, didn't he expose himself like this?" The little wooden wolf asked suspiciously.

"Idiot, if there is a pursuing force behind, then it means that he himself is exposed, so what does it matter if he is exposed again? If there were no pursuing troops behind, then no one would step on these ropes, and how could they be exposed? Wood Five Wolves, can you use your brain a little? It's because there are too many fools like you that my big barbarian that I let that bastard of Long'er show off his might. ”

The wolf hated that iron could not be made of steel, and glanced at the little wooden wolf.

……

"So what do we do?" The little wooden wolf did not change his face, accepted the criticism humbly, and asked more humbly.

The wolf looked at him steadily, but sighed: "What else can I do?" Pursue! This damn snow makes our wolf rider's maneuverability advantage almost gone. But there are interceptions in front and pursuers in the back, human beings, unless you can fly, I don't believe you can escape! ”

The wolf said fiercely, but it was a whip on the giant wolf king under him. The Giant Wolf King let out a long cry of pain, and was already running hard in the thick snow.
