After the death of the demon wolf, the limbs relaxed, the skin was much softer, no longer invulnerable, and after a while, the wolf skin had been peeled off at this time.

Ko Mingde stepped forward, saw the soldier make a cut in the wolf's chest, opened his hand and reached in, rummaged carefully, and took out a bead, stained with blood.

Washed with water, everyone circulated it, only to see that this bead was the size of a lychee, irregular round, without edges and corners, dark red, opaque, very hard texture, and fluttering lightly in the hand.

"Is this thing worth a thousand silver coins?"

"What are you going to do? It's not pretty!"

"The magicians want this, the magicians...... Who knows, just make money!"

The battalion commander replied and put the core away.

"Warcraft are too rare now, and it's good luck to meet this wolf. ”

"I can't take this wolf meat with me, let's eat it now!"

Someone said, and everyone supported it.

"Make a fire and cook it, we've been running for so long, there should be no pursuers. ”

"In this ravine, they can't see a fire. ”

"Yes, yes!"

......

Ke Mingde had scanned his surroundings long before camping, and there were no outsiders within a radius of three thousand meters, so he did not object.

The battalion commander was persuaded, and everyone raised a bonfire and cut the wolf meat into pieces, without environment and without exquisiteness, a piece of meat was the size of a fist, and the blood was not washed off.

This wolf is two meters seven meters long, and it is enough for the rest of the people to eat after removing the internal organs and bones and other miscellaneous things, but unfortunately the baggage he brought was lost during the battle, and there is no salt, so it tastes bad.

The wolf meat was rough and hard, there was no seasoning, and the barbecue skills were not very good, Ke Mingde barely ate a few pieces to fill his stomach.

After eating, I feel full of energy, but it is far less than the "water of life".

"I was able to break through the Great Knight so quickly, and the water of life played a huge role. Ke Mingde knew in his heart that it was not how genius he was, but the effect of the water of life.

After eating enough wolf meat, everyone didn't have the heart to sleep anymore, so they tidied up and went on the road as soon as it was dawn.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, it is difficult to ride a horse, everyone leads the horse on foot, and Ke Mingde's horse was bitten to death by a wolf, but it saves this trouble.

......

Three kilometers away, in the middle of the mountain road.

An infantry force of five hundred men is trudging with difficulty.

"Carrot, do we still have to continue chasing? The remaining dry food is only enough to eat for two days, and it will not be enough to chase and return!"

"Dilos, do we have a way out?" said Carrot bitterly.

The two of them were the commanders of this army, and the day before yesterday, they encountered a group of cavalry who had gone to support the Saimen Pass, and they were superior in numbers and won a great victory, but the battalion commander was killed by one of the cavalrymen.

If the crockpot does not break from the wellhead, the general will inevitably die in battle. It is an ordinary thing to be fierce and dangerous, but this dead battalion commander has a great background.

He is the youngest son of Duke Potter, the Potter family is the pillar of Prince George's rebellion, the Duke loves his youngest son, he is worried about what will happen to him on the battlefield, and he has the heart to give him some merit qualifications, so he arranged it to the logistics regiment, and he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Duke Potter is brutal by nature and powerful, not only are the bosses of these two people retainers of the Potter family, Carrot and Dilos are the guards of the Potter family, and at this time, it is not good to protect the duke's favorite youngest son, and the consequences can be imagined.

"If you don't avenge the little duke, after you go back, not only will you and me be killed, but the whole family will probably also ......."

Speaking of this, the two shuddered.

"What if you can't catch up with them?"

"Do your best, alas......"

Not long after, the pursuers found the ground in shambles.

"Stop!"

They take a closer look at it.

There were traces of friction on the bark, horseteeth and footprints on weeds, and most conspicuously the carcasses of several wild wolves and the remains of a campfire, where scavenging birds and beasts were feeding.

"The ashes have no temperature!"

"These wolves died from sword wounds!"

"There used to be a huge beast here, look at the footprints and paw prints!"

"There was blood all over the place, and there was a pool of undried blood, and the flesh on the wolf's carcass had not spoiled......"

They examined it carefully, did not miss the slightest clue, and finally came to a conclusion.

"They spent the night here, and they were attacked by a pack of wolves, one of which was huge, and after killing the wolf, they lit a fire, grilled some wolf meat, and then left, and it was not long before now, because there were still very few parts of the carcasses that had been bitten by the beasts, and the flesh had not changed in the summer...... Moreover, they carry more than 20 horses, and the mountain road is so difficult to walk, it is absolutely impossible to walk fast!"

Carrot and Dilos looked at each other, their eyes filled with joy.

"Hurry up! I'm about to catch up with them!"

......

The mountain road became steeper and steeper, with a cliff more than ten meters deep on one side and a steep rock wall on the other, the road was very narrow enough for one person to walk, and there were occasional goats on the rock wall.

The horses were exhausted, they had been running for three days in a row, and they could not eat fine feed, at this time their physical strength could not keep up, and the mountain roads were difficult to walk, and the soldiers pulled the reins, and they took a step forward, which seriously slowed down the speed.

A war horse screamed incessantly, and the soldiers didn't pull it anymore, blocking it in the middle of the road.

"One of its horseshoes has fallen off!"

Someone looked at it and picked up the front hooves of this war horse, which was already dripping with blood at this time.

The horse's hooves are made up of two layers, one layer that comes into contact with the ground is hard horn, and the top layer is living. When the horse's hooves come into contact with the ground, they will fall off quickly due to the friction of the ground. When the horse is carrying heavy loads and walking on bad roads, the damage to the horse's hooves is more serious, and nailing the horse's shoes can effectively delay the wear and tear of the horse's hooves. If a horse's toes fall off, it is basically useless for humans.

"These horses can't walk anymore!"

Someone said.

The feeding of the war horse is very important, it has to carry hundreds of pounds of knights and equipment for short-distance sprints, the requirements for physical strength are extremely high, their feed is different from the civilian pack horses and wild horses, the need for fine forage and beans, before the war sometimes mixed with grass eggs and other things, so as to maintain the physical strength of the war horse.

And these war horses have been trekking for many days, and the forage carried by the army is still lost during the battle, and they can only rely on wild grass to replenish their strength, and they have reached their limit at this time.

"We should abandon these horses, they have slowed us down and we can't provide them with fodder ......"

Some people said this, but they were met with opposition, these cavalry and war horses are partners in life and death, how can they give up easily?

The battalion commander was a little hesitant, he wanted to give up these war horses, but he was worried about causing a mutiny.

Ko Mingde watched the excitement from the sidelines and did not participate in the quarrel, because his horse had been mauled to death by a wolf.

Suddenly, after casually scanning the surrounding environment, Ke Mingde's face changed greatly!

The pursuers are coming!

"Battalion commander!" he shouted, "The pursuers have arrived!"

"What?!"

Everyone changed color and stood on tiptoe to look back, but unfortunately the mountain road was crooked, and they couldn't see anything.

"Where are the pursuers?" asked the battalion commander.

Ke Mingde's brain was spinning quickly, and he made up an excuse: "Since I was promoted to the Great Knight, my ears are very sensitive, and I have heard their voices and footsteps!"

The Panamanian battalion commander frowned, thought for a few seconds, and made a decision: "Abandon the war horse and speed up!"

Although some don't believe it, this kind of thing is better to believe it than not to believe it.

Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular!

After turning a corner, the mountain road came to an end, and in front of it was a rock wall, blocking the path near the cliff.

The rock wall is about 20 meters high, sealing the road ahead, and the cliff has also reached the end, which is a corner between the two mountains.

"Damn!"

"Heaven is going to kill me?"

The soldiers were almost desperate, they could already hear the voices of the pursuers, and accordingly, the pursuers had already spotted them.

"There are man-made steps on this cliff!"

It is said that it is a step, but it is better to say that it is a stone nest.

"Climb up one by one!"

The battalion commander said.

Three minutes later, one soldier climbed to the top of the rock, and four more were climbing.

However, by this time they could already see the figure of the pursuer.
