Chapter 373: Continue South
"Isn't the whole wilderness theirs?" said the paladin in surprise.
If it weren't for the fact that Wang Chu had seen a super creature like the Giant Eye, it would be hard to believe it, how did such a huge thing survive, what did they eat, or did there be a lot of giant beasts in the wilderness.
If you think about it this way, it is indeed a very dangerous place.
I don't know how many such huge creatures are being opened up all the time.
"That's why they're the overlords of the wilderness. The archbishop said.
"But fortunately, it is because of their huge size, no matter how big the city of the human kingdom is, it is too small for them, so it is rare to appear in the human kingdom, otherwise they don't know how much it will cost to fight such creatures. ”
The team kept walking towards the south, and several people often talked about what they had seen and heard, and Wang Chu listened to this journey so that it didn't seem so boring.
Over the first few peaks, the whole team gradually slowed down.
There aren't many trees, and it's not just stamina to move forward in this dry environment...... Some people may be nostalgic for the days when it rained all the time, and it may be better to march in the rain than now.
"Push your team harder, and we'll have more time to reach the wilderness with a little more walking, so that Al Ain will be able to command their army a little safer. ”
"Hmm. Akara on one side listened to the archbishop's instructions and immediately cheered everyone up.
The team lasted from morning to evening, and after a long time, there was no strength, and the mouth was dry for the last part of the journey, which was unusually quiet, and the place in this area would not be inhabited, and a team on the whole bare hill could be seen on its side.
Lias and the archbishop were at the forefront, and they felt that the soldiers behind them were gradually slowing down, and looked at the sky.
"It's not too early, or we'll set up camp around here, and it's important to keep the soldiers physically strong. Too late is not suitable for the march. Benedictas said, although he is not from the military department, after all, he is so old and knows a lot of things.
"Shall we be here, then? "Akara look around, it's a hill place, it's almost the same, there are only rocks around, and some grassy forests can be seen in some places in the distance, but it's still mostly desolate.
In the evening, the temperature began to drop, not as hot as it was in the middle of the day.
It is good to follow the expeditions of various troops from Wang Chu, or to dispatch. I have traveled a lot of places, and the best time for the march is only in the morning, when the weather is cool and most of the people are very energetic, and the speed is slow by noon, so that in the evening it is almost a state of mind waiting for when they can rest.
"Let General Lias arrange it, she's from the military department, and these are your strengths. The archbishop said a few words casually, and walked aside with a few magicians, and in their hands came the letter eagle.
It is supposed to be preparing to send a message to the city and the border, which is usually what the regular troops do after their daily march, reporting to the nearest allies what they are doing, or where they are, with the shortest or only allies able to read the code, and sometimes some magical maze attached to it so that others will not see it.
According to her own custom, Lias divided the army of tens of thousands into several camps and hid them on the surrounding hills, because there was no need to confuse the enemy and change the camp tents in times of war, so the important people lived in the central position.
At night, bonfires were lit in each camp, and no one else was in sight.
Wang Chu could only see that every hill and mountain was lit by stars......
Lias sat on a simple chair placed on a stake, with the archbishop sitting opposite.
"Come, General Lias, look at this map of the wilderness, marked with our lines and the locations of the watchtowers. As he spoke, he handed over the map, and the young paladin on the other side pulled it out.
It is also a map made of vellum, and the material drawn is also special, and this kind of map can continue to be used even if it is wrung out even if it is flooded.
Lias also had a map with her, and she used to look at it every night when she came here, but it was from the Asta Empire, and there was no part of the southern wilderness.
The scope of this kind of map drawing is not large, and the lines are not as cumbersome as those maps he has seen, except for some words that he can't understand, Wang Chu can also understand it.
Standing on Lias's shoulder, he could see the whole map.
Akara was very close to him.
Suddenly, he poked his finger in the tail.
Alas, don't make a fuss...... Isn't this the time to get down to business, I'm not in the mood to joke with you.
Wang Chu didn't bother to pay attention to her, he looked at the appearance of the whole area seriously, and it might be convenient to encounter battles in the wilderness after remembering some places more.
The map is detailed to the various maps around the wilderness, and even depicts rivers, which should have been drawn with tools such as airships, but until a little halfway there, and a little further south, there are no names or specific signs, and those areas have not been visited.
"We're in the Sunset Mountains right now, here...... The road is not on the map, but it should be straight if we go all the way south, and then we reach the fortress on the border. Another general beside the archbishop pointed to the map.
Wang Chu looked at the end of the mountain peak mark, and there was a circle every few places, and there was a building with houses painted there, which should be the border fortress.
There are not many fortifications that can hold such a long border that can accommodate so many soldiers, so the marked place goes along the east side until there is a river cutting it off.
The Asta Empire is bounded by rivers with other countries in the south, and there should be other countries on the other side.
There is no marking, just its name written in words.
"By the way, what about the neighbors? What about the troops of the neighboring countries. "Archbishop Benedictas seems to have noticed the place as well.
"The nearest country is the Duchy of Fario, but they are a small country that they can't count on, and even most of their troops are stationed further east, and there are very few troops near our position. ”
Principality of Fario, Wang Chu remembered the silver-haired magician and the bearded general that day.
"Since it's them, it's basically useless, it seems that we still have to rely on our own strength, how long do we have to get to the border. Benedictas asked.
"It's a much faster journey, we're almost halfway through now, and we'll be there in two days. ”
So fast.
The letter sent before that should have been received a long time ago. 2k reading web
