Chapter 319: News from the Military Department
Lias slightly unfolded a portion of the map in her raincoat, the blueprint she had been holding in her hand.
The City of the Sun, here.
Only a small part of the map of the region was opened, and there was only one large city on the extended line of the Asta Empire.
The scope of all the land that Wang Chu has seen is not large, and the distance on the map can actually be completed in more than ten days, so it can only be so accurate and a little more detailed, there is no way to draw it.
"Lucia, you arrange for someone to find the location of the specific military headquarters first, and the team will set up camp on the spot and stand by. Lias commanded, although the man had roughly pointed in a direction, but the exact location was still up to the team to find out for themselves.
If you go to a high place, it should be easy to see the flag of the military headquarters.
"Okay, that's what I'm arranged. Lucia agreed.
The team still had to choose a high ground to wait, there was a high risk of collapse under the cliff in the heavy rain, there were only five boats, Lucia asked each boat to go in different directions, three people on each top, mainly so that two people could pour out the water when the rain accumulated in the boat.
And this time Lucia went herself.
"You don't have to go there. ”
"Don't forget, I'm more observant in the wild, and my summoner is good for finding places on the road. Before leaving, Lias persuaded her, but Lucia insisted that she should follow her, and that she could not let the team wait like this all the time.
Lucia's Beast King Chu always felt that it was a plant-based creature, and it looked a bit like the smell of transforming into a tree of life, but it was not clear if there was an ancient tree in this world with its own form, and when I went to the forest of Hajar City before, I had seen the place of the elf tree, but like other trees, it could communicate but could not move.
If you want to pull up the roots of the tree and dry the frame, at present...... Haven't seen it.
The guy himself tried to communicate with him, but it seems that the IQ is not very high, at most it is a child's thinking, able to understand what he is saying, and can also communicate and understand simply, not with deep thinking. It's the same as the crows that follow him.
Speaking of crows.
It had been raining heavily in the south, and no bird could fly, and there were many dead birds soaked in the water along the way, but not a single one was alive.
Lias didn't hold back any longer, and watched as Lucia rowed with the other four boats to different places, and in the distance there were mountains where the peaks could be seen.
"Waiting for us to come back. Lucia beckoned to the group.
The whole team also said goodbye to the people sitting on the boat at the same time...... Then he returned to the cliff mountain.
Since they did not know when the ship would return with the men from the military headquarters, the team first set up a shed to protect them from the rain, and if they did not return by night, they would erect their tents.
I don't know how long I'm going to go.
Lias stood on the edge of the cliff, and it was not too late to see the current situation of the entire area.
The rain hit the canopy overhead......
"Cam, how big do you think it would take for a river to burst to cause such a serious flood. Lias looked at the flood area under her eyelids and asked herself, this was even more serious than when she came before, when she was in the imperial capital, she only heard about it but never thought that it would be so shocking when she saw it with her own eyes.
This would only be possible if there were several large river basins here.
Wang Chu himself has not seen many floods, most of them have only seen them in pictures, the kind of entire city buried under the flood and only a few roofs remain. Except for the Mage Tower, the houses in this world are not very high, and when the flood falls, almost the entire area is submerged.
I can't see where the so-called Sun-Hunting City is.
There was no sound of the call of the plants in nature, and most of them were swallowed up in this flood, and it may take a long time to be awakened.
Nature, especially plants with tenacious vitality, cannot be explained by mere death.
Floods or fires only temporarily 'sleep' them, unless they are uprooted, they may come back to life at some stage, just as he used healing to revive the dead tree directly opposite Lias's room for the first time, and as long as the heart is not dead, it can grow again.
The trees that had been broken off by the flooded area in the heavy rain seemed to be still moving, in the lower direction.
"General, everyone has already made arrangements, and we are here waiting for General Lucia to return. At this time, Nicos suddenly walked behind him and reported.
"Well, we'll wait here. Lias replied firmly.
At the moment, I don't know the location of the military headquarters, and when I come here, I will be like a headless fly, and I can only wander around and not know where I am going.
"By the way, you must pay close attention to the movement in the rear, and if anyone is injured or sick, send the nearest Sulma City in advance to recuperate, and see if the troops in the rear are coming. ”
"Yes, General. ”
In the past few days, what has been struggling with Lias is how the reinforcements mentioned in the letter have not yet appeared in the south, whether there is a situation in the back place, or whether the dispatch mission of the Wizards Association has been temporarily changed.
Regarding this matter, Wang Chu didn't understand why the troops who received the task together couldn't come over.
So far, the only way for Lias to find is to find the military headquarters first, and then learn about the situation here or the imperial capital through them, there are not many magicians in the troops she leads, and she has not greeted the magicians association in advance and brought the magic props to contact.
Aine set off a few days in advance, because he was concerned about his son's safety, he would probably leave day and night, and the time he came should have been shorter, and he should have reached here.
Lias looked around, there were too many traces of passers-by to passer-by, and she couldn't tell if there were any large troops passing by.
In this way, the two of them waited with the troops on the cliff mountain, until nightfall, and the troops still supported their tents, and none of the five boats returned, during which there were many refugees who came by boat, all of whom had survived from the city of the day or the surrounding towns, and they had settled on a certain high or low and then found a raft to escape to this side.
From late evening to late night, and from late night to early morning of the next day.
Finally, the next morning, I saw two boats rowing back, followed by a few other boats, but they didn't seem to be military boats, but dozens of people followed.
It was too far away to make out who it was, not like civilians with weapons with them.
Lias sent someone down there and brought them all up.
