Chapter 317: Arriving in the South
There was a campfire in the tent, and the rain was a real headache.
I haven't stopped for a few days, and it feels like it's getting bigger and bigger, and I can't stop at all.
Lias was the only one living with herself in the tent, and the wooden floors were already flooded with water when they were barely set up in the previous days, and their last purpose today was to be used as a tool for the team to cross the flood zone, and then let them sink into the lake.
There were no furnishings in the room, and Lias's map was wet, and many of the routes were no longer clear, and she hadn't studied the routes or anything in the past few days.
I still haven't heard any news from the Southern Military Department, and who is going to be coming from behind, and the people from the Wizards' Association and the Cathedral have lost contact, and it feels like this team is a lone army that has lost contact.
As early as the first day of her appearance, Lias sent a letter to the military headquarters in the south, and she did not receive a response for so many days, and it is not clear if the eagles who delivered the letter halfway were lost.
The grass was chilly, and there was a campfire that made the surrounding area gradually dry out.
There's still a little bit of moisture, but it's ready to go.
On one side of the campfire is the grilled lake fish, which is the most food that can be found in the area, and on the other side is the cloth used to sleep later, which is already soaked after roasting, and the rest of the past few days is almost the same environment, drenched in the rain during the day, and then taken out and dried at night.
Wait until tomorrow if it rains.
Although a raincoat can block the rain for a while, it will still penetrate if it is too long, so everything you wear is the same.
The only sound in the empty tent was the sound of heavy rain on the roof.
Lias sat next to her, rummaging the firewood in the fire with a flint stick.
"Cam, you said that you came to meet our southern army this time, did you receive any news? She said to herself, as if asking herself.
In fact, the speed of the military department's letter delivery eagle is very fast, just as his own affairs sent letters from Hajar City every few days, if there is no response for so many days, it is likely that there is an accident on the way.
No matter how you say it's an animal, it didn't rain on the day you came, but after you arrived in the south, it rained heavily every day, and you may not be able to fly halfway.
Lias must have thought about such a situation.
Alas, I heard her sigh for a long time.
Every time I go out with the troops, the environment is not very good, either I go to the underground fire pit, or I go far to the desert, and now I have encountered floods in the slightly richer south.
"And the people of the cathedral, how come their line never arrived. Lias continued.
In the past few days, it is estimated that everyone has been thinking about the same problems, the response has not received news, and the reinforcements have not appeared for a long time, and it feels like the whole team is marching in isolation.
Fortunately, there was no danger and no injuries in the team, otherwise morale would have suffered.
The rain was falling heavier in my ears.
Lias handed herself a grilled fish, and there is nothing good about living in the wild, so she can eat whatever she can catch.
Although it smells a little fishy, it's okay, and the dried fish skin is as fragrant as it gets, making it the best food for anyone who walks the day.
The two of them ate and sat until the fire had baked the grass around them almost dry, and then laid out their mats and slept.
Nothing was said all night.
........................
The next day was still early, and the rain dripped on Wang Chu's face through the roof.
Is it still this kind of weather?
Wang Chu opened his eyes, and sure enough, he ...... Outside the illuminated tent, it was still pouring rain.
"Get up, Cam. We're going to speed up our journey today, and there are only two cities left, and we're closer to the southern edge of the border. Lias still woke up so early, and every time she woke up it felt like she hadn't slept.
If it weren't for her unkempt hair, Wang Chu really thought she hadn't slept.
From the dried raincoat, Lias used a knife to cut off the cloth, the raincoat is made of a special leather, the appearance is smooth and very thick, so it can have the effect of protecting from rain in a short time.
A little bigger than a slap and handed it to himself.
"Here, it's yours, put it on, so it doesn't rain too much. ”
It turned out that it was prepared for himself in the form of a squirrel.
Wang Chu took it and covered himself, it was still relatively wide for himself, just enough to cover his tail.
Enough is enough.
When she was done, she put on her raincoat and walked out with her, and the soldiers all got up early, relying on the way Lias trained them on weekdays, almost all of them got up early.
The tent was already being packed, and although it was still raining heavily, all it was necessary to roll up the tent casually and put it on the accompanying carriage. Anyway, I'll take it out at night.
Lucia and Nicos also came over at this time, counted the number of people in each team, and continued on their way as long as they had enough.
The rest of the journey is a little better than the previous one, and it is not so muddy, the most important thing is that there is no flood area, otherwise Wang Chu will wait to call the fishman over.
From here, blow the horn of the conch, and I don't know if they will appear.
The procession continued for three more days, and in the evening of the third day, Lias, who was at the front, heard the sound of the river.
"Listen, is there the sound of the river? ”
Lucia and Nicos listened closely, the rain was loud but the sound of the river could be faintly heard.
It's river water.
Wang Chu said, because he could already smell the smell of running water.
It's just a little different from what you normally see.
"The boundary between the southern border and other countries is precisely the river, which should be almost to the border river. Lias thought for a moment and said.
As early as yesterday, the team passed through the last small city, which is the southern edge city that Lias mentioned earlier, the map of the Asta Empire is generally a positive prism, but there is only a small area in the south, and it is this area that borders several small countries, and it is directly connected to the wilderness in the south of the world.
"Here, over here. Lias turned her horse's head and ran in the direction where she could hear the sound, followed by several others.
The terrain where the teams are located is high, because they follow the road pointed by the city, and if you want to build a city in a rainy place like the southern border, you will choose to build a city on high ground.
Wang Chu's eyes followed the direction of Lias, and slowly the road in front of him became empty.
Be careful, there is a cliff ahead.
Hurriedly pulled the reins, just enough to stop at the edge of the cliff just a few meters away.
"This ......"
The two looked down, speechless in shock.
As far as the eye could see, everything was swallowed up by floodwater, and there were boats and people on board, constantly rowing in the direction of approaching this side.
