Chapter 2: There is a human village nearby

To the east of the Central Continent, every morning, the sun rises from between the hazy skies.

In the mythological texts of the countries of the mainland, there is a unified description of the place of the rising sun in the east, that is, it is the residence of the gods, and the place where the sun rises is inhabited by a large number of gods.

More than 30 years ago, His Majesty the Emperor of the Yan Empire, in order to obtain the elixir of life, sent navigators to the distant land of the sunrise in the east, praying to find traces of the gods and offering tribute in exchange for the elixir of life.

After a long voyage, the navigators actually discovered a land in the east. At first, they suspected that this was just a small island, but after a long time of exploration, they found that this land was too big, as if it was infinite, this was not an island, this was the mainland.

So the navigators returned to the Central Continent and told His Majesty the Emperor about the discovery.

His Majesty the Emperor was convinced that this continent was the abode of the gods, so he sent a fleet of ships to search for it several times. But nothing was found except for a deserted land. Over time, His Majesty the Emperor also forgot about this land, and he never paid attention to it again.

Although he no longer pays attention to this place, it does not mean that other navigators will not pay attention to this place. Not only the navigators of the Yan Empire, but also the desperate speculators of other countries have embarked on a journey to the Eastern Continent. Here, they found all kinds of strange creatures and races that had never been seen in human territory.

These tribes had a large amount of gold in their hands, and the navigators from the Central Continent exchanged it for all sorts of strange gadgets and cheap goods in their hands, and these people returned to their homeland with high trade profits, which stimulated more ambitious speculators to come to the Eastern Continent.

But not everyone who came to the East Continent could afford to buy a ship to carry out such a highly profitable dumping trade, and people who could not survive on the Central Continent abounded, and many people followed these transport ships to the west coast of the East Continent, established urban strongholds, and began to take root here.

Originally, Lin Jue's ocean-going fleet chose to land on the Eastern Continent was one of them, Dawning City, currently managed by the Governor of the Yan Empire, the largest human city in the Eastern Continent, the size of about half an oasis city.

However, now that the channel is offset, Dawning City is no longer the best landing option, and the land that is gradually emerging directly in front of it is the best location.

"Actually, when you talked to me about the world before, I believed that what you said was true, and there is a proof to prove it, you see. Lin Jue stood beside Gloria, pointed to the land in front of her, and said, "As the ship moves forward, the first thing that appears is not the land, but the mountain peaks, and this evidence is enough to prove that this world is spherical." ”

Gloria was stunned and wondered, "Then you ...... before"

Lin Jue interrupted: "What I'm saying is serious, why don't you try to think about it, the whole world actually revolves around the sun, according to this point of view, you go and re-establish the model to see if the previous mistakes can be corrected? ”

Gloria was stunned, she didn't expect Lin Jue to suddenly tell her this, and she didn't expect him to be serious before, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

At this time, Rommel began to shout loudly: "Everyone get ready, bring water gear, stop the ship and anchor, put the dinghy, and immediately approach the land, according to the previous arrangement, part of the crew will be left behind, and the others will prepare to land!"

The soldiers around them waved their flags and passed the flag to the ships next to them, and all the boats stopped, lowered their dinghys and headed for the shore.

Not long after, the first soldiers had already arrived on the shore, and several horses had also landed with the first dinghys. The soldiers, who had the task of finding water as soon as possible, came to the shore and rode their horses and left.

After a long time, the landing was completed, and the soldiers began to set up tents in their place. Fortunately, there is a river not far from here, and the water problem has been temporarily solved.

"This place should not have been recorded, there is no such place on the nautical charts. Gloria just plunged cross-legged into the sand, spread out the map and studied it.

Gloria looked up and asked, "Do you have an idea?" ”

Lin Jue thought for a moment and said, "In this way, early tomorrow morning, the fresh water will be replenished, and then the coast will drive south until you find a human stronghold." ”

"My lord, there is an emergency!" A soldier rode a fast horse over the heavy tent that was being erected, and hurriedly galloped towards the location of Lin Jue and the others, raising a puff of dust, turning over and dismounting and hurriedly reporting to Bi Fang.

Bi Fang swept away the dust in front of him, frowned, and said, "What's the situation?"

The soldier said, "My lord, I found a small village about five miles ahead, which was being attacked by a pack of wolves, and my subordinates did not dare to approach it. However, based on the style of the village's architecture, it is initially speculated that it should be a human village. ”

Bi Fang said respectfully to Lin Jue: "Lord Lin, you give an order." ”

Lin Jue asked, "Is the human village so close, how many of the hundred cavalry we went out have returned?"

"More than fifty rides. ”

Lin Jue pondered for a moment and said, "Order three hundred infantry to march over there at a high speed, Gloria will bring your people, we will ride over, the rest of the cavalry will follow, and the others will rest in place." Zhengchou doesn't know what kind of place this is, this village must be saved. ”

Under the leadership of that cavalryman, Lin Jue and the others soon arrived at the village where the accident occurred.

The village is small, all of them are made of logs, and it looks like a dozen or so families live, with the doors of each house closed, and a wolf pack of about 50 wolves is attacking from house to house. By this time, the village was littered with corpses, and only two or three families remained.

"Little Phoenix, Emir (the name of the great mage of the space department under Gloria), can you save them?" Lin Jue asked.

Phenice shook her head and said, "No, it's all wooden houses, and if I go down this fire, the house will burn down." ”

The emir shook his head in the same way, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

"Hurry up and save people!" Lin Jue said to Bi Fang.

Bi Fang took off the musket on his back and said, "The cavalry come with me!"

Bi Fang led the cavalry to the outside of the wall near the village, raised his gun and aimed, after a volley, five or six wolves were shot, more than ten were wounded, the wolves were stunned, and after a moment they all turned around and chased out.

When the wolves came to a distance of more than ten meters in front of them, the second round of salvos began. This round was closer, and the lethality was much greater than the first round, and there were nearly twenty more wolf corpses on the ground in an instant, and blood flowed out of the wounds, staining the ground red.

The cavalry retreated as they reloaded their ammunition, and the wolves were furious by these two rounds of fire, and naturally pursued them with all their might.

Bi Fang rode forward as he said aloud: "Aim! Shoot!"

"Bang-" After the third volley, the wolves dissipated, leaving only seven or eight still running.

After the cavalry team turned around and drew their sabers and slashed once, the wolf pack of more than fifty wolves was completely wiped out.

"Let's go into the village. ”
