Without a superior, the Legion Commander became the highest military commander in the army, and because of Darius's outstanding performance in battle, the remaining soldiers in the army vaguely regarded him as a hero.

"I only felt that you were very powerful before, but I didn't expect that even Galen could defeat you!" When the other two legion commanders heard that Darius was going to form a small detachment and leave, they had no intention of stopping them.

"You go back, these are ours here." The second commander pointed to the corpse of the Brave and Fearless Regiment on the ground—it represented military merit.

"Well, it was originally the three legions that worked together to complete the victory of this battle." Darius said: "There is no reason that all the credit should be given to me, the only thing I have done is to hold Galen back, so now I am going to ship my loot back to the capital as soon as possible, hoping to get the general to ask something useful." ”

"Okay, you get out of the way first, and we'll rush back later." Yesterday's battle had already cost most of the expeditionary force of the three legions, and the number of men was no longer enough to form a battle formation and no longer carry out the previous orders. And they have attracted the hatred of the Valiant and Fearless Legion, so it is definitely not wise to move forward.

"Okay, then I'll arrange this, you guys be careful." After Darius briefly greeted the other two legion commanders, he began to inform Li Qing to form a team and leave.

The number of people in the squad should not be very large, there are more people, the goal is large, and it affects the marching degree, originally Darius's Jian yì was three or four elites, but when he heard that Li Qing was going to bring that nutrition tank, he had to add another witch doctor.

The witch doctor was still the one Li Qing was familiar with before, after all, the nutrition tank and the magic circle for treating Zhang Qinliang were all drawn by him, and it was easier to take care of them.

The army pays attention to being vigorous and resolute, especially this kind of rapid march, from Li Qingti to everyone forming a team and going out of the city, it only takes dozens of minutes before and after. There were three horses and a carriage out of the city, the three horses were Darius plus two elite guards from his cronies, and a carriage was loaded with Zhang Qinliang and the witch doctor, as well as Li Qing and the seriously injured Galen.

The horses of the squad are all the fastest and best horses in the army, and they are all said to have the blood of Warcraft, and they don't need to rest once when they run thousands of miles, and they are extremely fast - the only drawback is that they eat a little too much, and they like to eat some meat.

However, Li Qing can understand that in ancient China, those good horses in the army were also fed with eggs mixed with delicate forage - a real warlike horse is more expensive to feed than a soldier, and there is nothing in this world that is only useful but not consumed.

When he really galloped in the wilderness, Li Qing appeared, and the horse was really amazingly fast. Running in the wilderness is no less than an ordinary car, and that's certainly not their limit.

The number of people in the squad is small, but since Darius is there, there is no need to worry about safety - although there are many fierce beasts and dangerous places on the Varojan Big 6, ordinary beasts and even ordinary monsters are not Darius's enemies, so there is no need to worry.

Li Qing's only worry was that Galen suddenly woke up halfway, so in the carriage, he asked the witch doctor who was drawing a formation on Galen's body, "Does this thing of yours work?" ”

"Nonsense, this thing is a formation used to restrain the bodies of those injured soldiers when the anesthetics don't work or there is a shortage of anesthetics, and sometimes when they have to be surgically treated, those soldiers struggle too much, and they are imprisoned with this magic array." The witch doctor carefully placed Galen on his body\

u4eoa portrayed what he felt useful, "Although this person is powerful, but he is bound with magic chains, plus my magic circle, even if he wakes up, he is still in a weak state, and he will definitely not be able to break free for a while, if it really doesn't work, when the time comes, call the legion elder over, what can he do as a bundled person without weapons?" ”

The witch doctor was unimpressed by Li Qing's worries, "It's okay, you're worried about thinking about this, it's better to worry about not bumping into those disgusting undead creatures when you pass by the howling wetland for a while!" ”

"Howling wetland......" Li Qing also frowned when he heard the word.

After he and Darius had decided to form a team and leave, they had drawn up several routes back to Noxus.

Since this is the territory of Demacia, it is still more than a thousand kilometers away from Noxus, which is very far away. If they want to get back faster, they have to take shortcuts, such as through the Howling Wetlands.

This is the south of the winding river, and it is the closest way to pass through the Howling Wetlands, otherwise it would be more than three hundred kilometers to go around - the army had come from the wilderness behind the Howling Wetlands, because even the Noxian army really did not want to pass through that terrible place full of silt and undead creatures.

It was dark all year round, and the sky was covered with a dark cloud of powerful moisture and dead spirits, and visibility was low, even during the day, and it could cause a lot of trouble and danger if you accidentally provoked the undead creatures that were nestled there.

So, usually no one wants to pass by that place.

But Darius felt that it didn't matter - the first was that compared to the danger of howling wetlands, or howling swamps, the heroic and fearless legions who didn't know where were obviously more worrying, after all, although the howling wetlands were terrifying, ordinary undead creatures couldn't hurt Darius at all, and he had been to the howling wetlands before, and knew that there were still some ancient roads in it that could lead to guò. After going around more than 300 kilometers and not knowing how long it would take, it was obvious that like Li Qing, Darius was also very eager to return to the capital, so he chose this shortcut at the instigation of Li Qing.

And Li Qing's purpose of instigating Darius is even simpler-Zhang Qinliang is obviously dying, even in the nutrient tank that depicts the formation, he may die at any time, and he can't afford to delay for any minute.

So after all kinds of considerations, everyone chose to take a shortcut through this dangerous place, and what was even more dangerous was that it was still late at night when everyone passed by here.

The first battle ended in the afternoon, and then the army was reorganized, and Li Qing watched the soldiers in the city of Demacia. It was just after dark when the women of Demacia were stormed, and then the second battle broke out, and after two or three hours the battle ended, and in the next half an hour Darius formed a team and left the city.

So, it's midnight.

After running in the wilderness for more than an hour, they traveled three hundred miles, and through the window of the carriage, Li Qing saw that the ground outside the window was getting wetter and wetter, and the horse team moved forward, and Li Qing saw that there were already small puddles on the ground, reflecting the moonlight, revealing a strange look.

After traveling more than ten kilometers, there were more and more puddles on the ground, the plants were gradually lush, a hazy water vapor in the sky gradually became richer, the visibility gradually decreased, the humidity blocked the light of the stars and moon at night, and the artemisia grass on the ground also grew to the height of half a person's waist, and after arriving here, the convoy also stopped for the first time.

It was Darius who called it off.

"It's the howling wetlands ahead, let's come down and rest and rectify, feed the horses, wash your body, and try to make the smell of blood on your body as small as possible, these will attract the attention of those undead!" Darius ordered the convoy to stop, and Li Qing also walked out of the carriage, and saw that Darius in front of him had already dismounted and walked to his side when he shouted.

"Wash the blood stains on your body, after a big battle just now, it is impossible to completely remove the smell, but the lighter the smell of blood, the better! If it is troublesome to be targeted by those undead, they will be as difficult to get rid of as the wolves. As he spoke, Darius led Li Qing to a puddle, and then held the Qing in his hand. 1225

4. Wash your body. He said that Li Qingxi, in fact, he is the person with the heaviest smell of blood on his body, and he killed the most people in the whole army in the battle just now, and he has too much strength, and his fighting method is wide open and close, and he likes to put people in one or two pieces, and his intestines and stomach are drenched from the air together. He was now almost covered in blood clots, not to mention the undead, and humans could smell it from afar.

However, Darius doesn't really care about this, in fact, he smells of blood when he doesn't kill, and he lets the purge just avoid the chance or range of trouble.

After all, what can be smelled within a thousand meters is definitely not the same as what can be smelled within a hundred meters, and the number of enemies attracted is definitely different.

Of course, Li Qing didn't want to get into trouble, in his eyes, the undead were the poorest and most difficult of all the "monsters", it was difficult to kill them completely, and there were no treasures on his body, so it was not as cost-effective to kill them as killing demonic beasts. So, while Darius was washing, he washed the blood stains off his body with the water in the puddle.

"A soldier with such a high level of archery skills can't even ride a horse." After finishing washing, Darius saw that his two guards on the other side were feeding the horses, so he sat down by the puddle and chatted with Li Qing, he looked at Li Qing with a strange expression and said, "I really haven't heard of this!" ”

"I can learn this, it should be fast, but for the time being, I still won't delay the march." In the previous staffing arranged by Darius, there were actually four horses and a carriage, and he included Li Qing, but the latter took the initiative to show that he could not ride a horse at all.

Few modern people actually know how to ride a horse, and most of them have ridden a few times when they go to the park, but that is a blind ride, and the gap between them and a real rider is about as big as the difference between a person who has been to a park and a bumper car and a real racer. Riding a horse is more difficult than driving, especially in the wilderness, with countless gravel and uphill terrain, as well as natural obstacles, even if Li Qing learns it in a short time, it will definitely be much slower than those veterans.

There's a lot that takes experience -- muscle memory, which can't be compensated for by intelligence alone.

So, he can only admit his shortcomings.
