Chapter 1693: Pathfinding
A stone rolled down and landed in front of the horse's hoof. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info The war horse stepped on it and crushed the stone. Alan sat on his horse and raised his head, and there was a hundred meters of lonely cliff above. The rocks above poke out into the void, forming a wave. Alan lowered his head and said "Be careful" to Lucy, who was walking behind. Now they are walking on a winding mountain road, which goes around the mountain, with a 100-meter cliff on the left, a cliff on the right, and a dense mountain forest below. The trees of the Misty Mountains are dark in color and look oppressive. From above, a layer of wind-blown mist wafts over the forest, making the mountain look very gloomy. There aren't many animals in the Misty Mountains, but there are quite a few dangerous beasts. Walking on the mountain road, you can hear all kinds of strange cries from the mountains and forests below from time to time. It's noon, but the light is dim, and it's definitely not a pleasant place.
The previous scouts had cleared some of the obstacles on the mountain path, so the march seemed slow, but it was still smooth. As he was riding his horse slowly, Allen's heart suddenly moved. As soon as he looked up, he heard a dull thud, and then a burst of fire from the rock formations above. The rock formations were blasted open, and large boulders were smashed down the mountain road.
Sure enough, the Principality of Shadows has an ambush here!
"Selene, Lola, protect the army!" Alan said, stepping on the horse's pedal at the same time, and the whole person ran upward. He almost stepped on the cliff, his hand gripping the hilt of his sword tightened in a moderate amount. When the first boulder fell, Julian's great black sword was unsheathed.
The sound of a sword echoed over the mountain forest.
The already dim light color appeared even more dim, and a golden crescent moon slowly rose. The crescent moon passed through the rockfall, and the color of the rockfall suddenly changed from dark to light, and then it flew away like a manuscript, and fell lightly downward. Alan followed the passage opened by the crescent moon all the way up, and in a blink of an eye, he had reached the top of the hundred-meter cliff. As he stepped to the top of the cliff, he saw a group of Blade Demons screaming and running forward. Alan didn't mean to chase after him, he stood in place and looked around, except for the explosion of this section of the cliff, the fire was also visible hundreds of meters away, and then the mountain rock rumbled down, raising a thick cloud of dust and smoke.
Returning his sword to its sheath, Eren turned and stepped into the void. A circle of golden ripples was born at the foothold, and he walked down the stairs like stepping on an invisible staircase, and the circle of golden light spread, and Alan came to the mountain road. The army rested on the mountain road. A large number of falling rocks just now were swept away by Allen in one fell slash, and the rest was also taken by Celine and Lola. Except for a few accidental scratches and two frightened horses sliding off the cliff, the army was unharmed.
Rodek walked back ahead and said to Allen, "The mountain road three hundred meters away has been blocked by boulders, we have two scouts dead, and the mountain road in front of us has collapsed, I'm afraid this road will not work." ā
Alan said lightly: "The enemy wants us to take another path, they want us to go to the Essabion Tunnel. I think we want the creatures of the abyss to deal with us, and at the same time use them to stall for time. ā
"That's how it should be."
"Then let's go through the tunnel instead, by the way, Marshal, what are those abyssal creatures called?"
Rodek took a deep breath and said, "We call them Hellworms. ā
Turning back from the mountain road, the whole army turned around. Originally, the tail of the team has now become a striker, and Allen and the others were originally at the front, but now they are at the end. After retreating down the mountain road, he rode his horse to the front of the team. Rodek took the map as a comparison, led the army down the mountains, and then drilled deep into the forest. It was wooded, the map hadn't been revised for a long time, and the army had almost taken a break. Of course, the march was not going much faster, so when the sun went down, Rodek had to order the army to rest in the dense forest. The soldiers sawed down the trees, which were used as fuel in addition to clearing the camp.
The night sky is filled with stars, and a woodland is cleared. From the sky, it looked like a corner had been dug out of a dense forest, and the soldiers made fire out of the felled trees to make food, while Rodek was busy planning his route for tomorrow. After dinner, Alan went to his tent and saw that both eyebrows on Rodek's face were twisted together.
"Marshal, what's wrong?"
"Grand Duke, you're here." Hearing this, Rodek looked up and pointed to the map: "The road ahead will pass through a swamp, which was previously filled to dig a large tunnel, but it is unknown what the situation is now. I've sent scouts to check on the situation, but I haven't come back yet, and I don't know if I'm in any danger. ā
Alan walked over and glanced at the map, and sure enough, a black line on it had bypassed a place where the word swamp was marked. Alan asked, "Where is the entrance to the Great Tunnel?" ā
Rodek stretched out his hand and landed on the black line, crossed over, nodded on the other side of the swamp and said, "Right here, the engineer who dug the tunnel back then thought that it would take the shortest time to open the mountain from here, so he started here." There is a gate here, which Esabion calls the Gate of Hope. After entering the gate, there is a basement hall, which was used to store tools and a camp for workers. Also considering that the army can take a short rest in the underground hall when entering the tunnel in the future, this underground hall should still be there now. ā
"Well, I'll explore the way." Alan said dryly.
Rodek said happily: "This is the best, there is a grand duke to explore the way, then I can sleep peacefully." You don't know, people can't accept old age, and now my old bones can't withstand such a toss. ā
Alan nodded and walked out. Rodek put away his smile, his expression completely different from the one he had just had. He squinted, his gaze falling on the swamp. This swamp is known as the Pivot of the Dead.
"You're going to explore the way?"
Back in his tent, Eren explained the situation, began to put on the armor, and asked Lola to prepare a pen and paper for him, so that he could easily draw the terrain if he noticed a difference, so that he could determine the route of tomorrow's march. Lucy put on his armor and said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't there anyone who can do this kind of thing, and you have to do it yourself, and you are not Rodek's pawn." ā
Alan pinched her face and said, "Rodek has sent someone, but he hasn't returned, he's worried that there is danger in that place." I think I'm idle and idle, so I'll go for a walk. Rest assured, there aren't many things that can kill me right now. ā
"Then you have to be careful, don't be careless." Lucy admonished.
Lola brought pen and paper, and Alan hid them in her armor. It's a pity that even his spatial ring was destroyed in the Flame Gate, otherwise these things could be thrown directly into the spatial ring, so why bother.
"Okay, I'm leaving, you guys rest early, don't wait for me to come back." After Allen finished speaking, he left the tent and disappeared into the shadows of the barracks.
