Chapter 80: Infiltration
Stan can't keep his eyes open in the morning sun, and the branches aren't enough to cover all the sunlight in the clearing. He checked the obsidian sword tied to his belt and the package on his back again, making sure everything was ready. Nerfi tightened her belt and linen shoes on one side, and finally tied her beautiful long linen 'colored' hair into a bun and put it on her head.
In addition to the two of them, four other knights were also actively preparing, and Zach looked at the knight captain with a straight face. "Take me, Majel, you'll need me, I don't want to be left here. ”
Magill straightened up and pushed Zach away from the road. "Just your cowardice in the ruins, don't be a burden to us, just stay here and show me the mage. ”
Zach was still trying to struggle, and Stan walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "It's equally important to stay here, you are our strong backing, and if we have any accidents, we still need you to go in and save us. ”
Zach flicked his fist helplessly. "Seeing that the honor was robbed of me by you, but I couldn't do anything about it, it really made my heart burn. ”
"Don't worry, you guy. Ulf lifted his foot and kicked him in the ass. "This time, no matter what our division of labor, the glory belongs to all. ”
Magill nodded, his hands squeezing his knuckles with a clicking sound. "Alright, we're leaving, you guys are here to keep this camp, and of course, that guy. The captain of the knights looked at the mage who was huddled to the side, and the half-dead mage, who had been tortured, looked at Magir in horror, and his whole body trembled.
In silence, the group of six men left the makeshift camp and headed out of the woods, the knights who remained looked a little depressed, but except for Zack, the others did not complain, but sat down, thinking about how to spend the next boring days.
In addition to Stan and Nerfi, the six-man squad also included Magill and Ulf, and Tirin was also joined by Tyrin, the last position was snatched by Ted, and he was the most clever of all but the two oldest knights, although he was as eloquent as Magill. Stan walked last, and the three knights in front of him made him wonder if the worse he seemed on the surface, the more capable he was, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, because if that was the case, wouldn't he be useless.
They did not ride horses, all the horses were left in the woods, and in order to hide their whereabouts as much as possible, walking was the best option. The group did not exit through the exit into the woods, but walked for a long time to the other side of the woods, until they faced the other side of Grivel, and then began to walk cautiously towards the ruins.
Ulf and Ted walked along the edge of the woods for a long time before stopping, and they chose a flat area that was relatively close to the ruins, with a lot of rubble in the middle that could be used as a shelter, as a way to sneak into the ruins. Then the two of them leaned down and trotted towards the nearest large rock, which looked like part of a statue, and they leaned their backs against the stone, beckoning to the others who were still in the woods.
The other four followed their example and ran over as quickly as they could, and then Ted stuck his head out again, looking for his next place to stay. Along the way, everyone ran and stopped against the burning sun above their heads, and finally approached the ruins by almost noon. At this time, everyone was covered in stinky sweat, and their clothes were wet with sweat, even Nerfi, and although the mage's beautiful long hair was tied up, the strands of hair hanging from the ears were all attached to the white cheeks.
Magill glanced in the direction of the sun and 'touched' the time. "It's almost noon, let's go in and find a place to rest first, I'm almost roasted, and I won't even have any 'pee' if I don't drink some water. ”
Nellfi frowned in disgust, and 'licked' her lips, she was also very thirsty, and in order to maintain the highest vigilance 'sex', no one had drunk water when they approached the ruins. Each of the five men carried a package that was all they had for the next three days of food and water, and it was very risky for them to put down the package and find the water bladder at this point, so no one drank water.
"I forgot that I was so nervous, but as soon as you said it, I remembered, I'm so thirsty that I can even drink my own 'urine'. Ulf leaned against a broken stone wall, his eyes closed, breathing.
Ted retracted his head from outside the wall, and he swallowed. "Don't say it, my throat is on fire, and if we run three more times, we'll be in the ruins, but I haven't been able to see a place to rest. ”
"Damn, I think we'll just find an open space to rest, I'd rather be found by those mages and fight them than die of thirst here. Ulf opened his eyes, and then closed them in pain from the sweat that poured into his eyes. "Hell, I'm so thirsty, but I'm still sweating, it's so 'wasteful'!"
"Stop, you won't die of thirst, look at you, can't you still complain?" Magill himself stuck his head out, trying to find a room where he could rest. "I won't believe you until you can't even speak. ”
The Captain of the Knight watched for five minutes before he shrank back, his deflated ass sitting on the ground. "Hell, I really can't find any hidden places, this damn magic explosion is really completely destroyed. ”
Tirin seemed to remember something. "In a hot place like Serendra, there must be a lot of cellars for storing food, and it's always cooler underground than on land, and we can find out if there is an entrance to the cellar. ”
When Magir heard this, he suddenly came to his senses. "I said I liked you, Tirin. "Then the Cavaliers captain made a 'look' to Ted and Ulf. "You go in first, and then look for any entrances under the damaged houses. ”
Stan nodded approvingly. "You leave the package and go into battle lightly, and we will bring it in for you. ”
Ulf and Ted took a break, took off their backpacks, and quickly ran to the next stop, and without considering their companions behind them, they were much faster than before, and in a short time they flashed into the ruins. The other four followed their trail behind the nearest foothold, and the obstacle just blocked them from the sun, hiding them in the shadows.
The crowd waited for a while, but Tirin couldn't hold it anymore. "I'll look for it too, I'm confident I won't be discovered. As he spoke, he took off his package.
Magill pushed him back into place. "You sit down for me, have I agreed? Don't think that if I say I like you, I can ignore me and do what I command!"
"Hell, I'm not your subordinate, why should I listen to your orders!" "I'm a soldier of Doyle, what does it have to do with you, a knight of Canrito?"
"Save your energy, aren't you thirsty enough?" Stan shook his head helplessly, leaning against the ruins.
Neither of them spoke again, and both leaned against the wall and closed their eyes. The scorching sun scorched the earth, as if it was about to roast everything, and a shaky mist rose from the ground, and everything in the distance was fluctuating behind the mist, appearing and disappearing, like a fantasy. Despite being in the shadows, the heat around them still makes everyone miserable, and the shadow of grilled lamb chops appears in Stan's mind.
Nerfi struggles with heat and thirst, she suddenly feels a little dizzy in her head, and her consciousness begins to drift away, and she struggles to open her eyes, and Stan in front of her becomes blurry. "Stan...... I seem to be ...... something's wrong."
"What's the matter, Nerfi!" Stan nervously hugged the mage who had nearly fallen to the ground.
"I ......" before Nellfi collapses into Stan's arms.
