In the blink of an eye, Luna and her party had been following Uturou out of Stonenon City for more than half a month.

The deeper you go into the territory of Yuguo, the more desolate the scenery along the way, although the sunset on the Gobi and the lonely smoke of the desert make people feel a sense of heroism, but after being in it for a long time, this feeling is not wonderful.

The wind that blows on people's faces all the time, wrapped in the unique malice of winter, makes the entire mission a little unbearable.

Even Locke and Thorpe, the two mercenaries who had traveled from south to north, have lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Your Highness, we can't go on like this. Carol took advantage of the team's trimming gap to get into Luna's beast cart and said with a solemn face.

Although he knew that the winter climate of Yuguo was very unfriendly to people, the previous envoy did not really need to move forward slowly in the big Gobi where the wind blew all day long in winter.

If it weren't for the fact that Luna had seconded a large amount of military rations before, I am afraid that they would really have to rely on the prey residues brought back by Ali from time to time with six flying tigers to go out hunting and bring back.

It's not that Yu Guo didn't prepare the rations for their line, but the rations prepared by Yu Guo were mostly dried insects and jerky, and the amount was limited, and it was only maintained at a level where people who did not die of hunger could never eat enough.

At the beginning, looking at the rations distributed by the soldiers who escorted them in the Yu Kingdom, there would be people in the mission who expressed their dissatisfaction, because of the previous detention in Stoneong City, they felt that the other party was deliberately making things difficult.

But it wasn't until four or five days after setting off that everyone slowly discovered that, except for the black chicken orc named Xerso, in fact, Uturou and his soldiers ate no different from them, and even the soldiers without military rank needed to share their share of food and water for Xerso.

That's why Luna would let Ali and the Flying Tigers out from time to time when they stopped to repair, firstly to give them more food and conserve their stamina, and secondly, to use them to bring back some prey for the team, and to make some improvements that were better than nothing.

This is not the biggest problem, after all, with the physique of an orc, even if you don't have anything to eat, you can't die of hunger for ten days and a half months, and the biggest problem is the lack of water.

If the snow wolf country is vast and sparsely populated, then the feather country is basically no one in sight, and their trip left Stonenon City for half a month, and only passed through a small town halfway to make supplies.

And there was only one well in the whole town, and a team of dozens of them, hulala surrounded the well to replenish, and they were almost scraped to death by the townspeople with eye knives.

If it weren't for the soldiers in the armor of the Feather Kingdom lined up to protect them, I am afraid that if they could not wait for enough water, the residents of those towns would have pounced on them and fought desperately.

"Call Uturou to talk!" Luna sighed as she looked at the map of Hakoku spread out on the table, holding the cup in her hand, thirsty but only moisturizing her lips.

Although they had a map of the country of Yu, this map was relatively rough, except for some very crude supply points that were far away, and there were only iconic mountains and rivers, and on the Gobi, these alone would never be enough.

"Your Highness still thinks ......?" Carol's eyes twinkled.

"It's not that I think we're being troubled, but it's certain, but the person who carried out this matter may not be Uturou, as for Xerso, as the name suggests, it's a joke, so we still have to talk to Uturou to see why. ”

Luna rubbed her finger over the prominent river on the map.

Even if there are some orcs in this world who have an abnormal sense of smell, they can't reach the point where they can draw invisible underground rivers.

It's not that it can't be discovered, but the territory is too wide to reach on its own, and it requires a lot of manpower, material and financial support, and only the royal family can do this.

Water is the lifeblood of Yu Country, and although Luna doesn't think that Uturou can get a map with clear water veins, as a general leading the army, it is impossible not to have a little means of her own.

Therefore, they couldn't see the river for many days, but they could still come across the place where the water was supplied, and I am afraid that Wu Turou deliberately took them away from the river.

So why is he?

That's what Luna wants to know, she doesn't think that a general who can do ten thousand households would do such a detrimental thing to others and herself in order to make things difficult for them.

"What do you say?" Carol glanced out the car window, helping the Snow Wolf Kingdom guards, who were not very skilled in lighting a fire in such a windy weather, and Wu Turou, who was lighting the pyre.

"I thought Uncle Carol knew Uturou better than I did. ”

Luna looked up at Carol and rolled her eyes in her heart, although since he entered the territory of the Feather Country, this guy has restrained a lot, and he is clearly led by her, but secretly he can't give up observing her, and he is so tired......

"Alright, would Your Highness want to talk to him personally?" asked Carol with a smile.

"I'm missing a translator. Luna looked at the male opposite.

"I heard Parrot Xiang say that His Highness has learned the language of Yuguo well. The corners of Carol's mouth twitched.

"He is my foreign language teacher, if you know that I am not good at learning, I am afraid that his job will be ruined. ”

Luna leaned back in her chair and played the scoundrel, anyway, she said that she didn't learn well, and she really didn't believe that Carol could break her mind and take a look.

"Okay, what does Your Highness say......" Carol really didn't have a problem with Luna, so she could only nod in compromise and get out of the beast cart.

The temperature of the Gobi Desert plummets at night, and even if Luna transforms into a beast, she still needs to put on animal skins to keep out the cold.

Looking at the wolf lying on the carpet in the carriage covered with a blanket of animal skin, Uturou, who was brought into the car by Carol, was stunned, he didn't see the beast form of the wolf clan, but he had never seen the color of Luna.

Carol was stunned for a moment when she confronted Luna's somewhat goofy, deceptive wolf face, but said nothing, as if everything was business as usual, and walked past Luna and walked to the edge of her seat.

Seeing this, when Luna was not used to the excessive temperature difference in the Gobi, she also followed her and sat opposite Carol.

"General Hardship has to make a trip so late. Luna slowly got up and waited for Susie to help her enclose the hide stand before she spoke.

Carol dutifully took on the role of translator.

"Your Highness might as well say something straight!" Uturu waited for Carol to finish translating before she withdrew her gaze from the map spread out on the table and turned to Luna to speak.

"The general seems to be a cheerful person, so just right, I just want to ask, why do we stay away from the river, who is Serso, and who doesn't want to see our party arrive in the capital as soon as possible?"

Luna thought for a moment and asked dryly.
