Chapter Forty-Three: The Way
Thank you for your concern......
When they answered, they took control of their horses and ran towards the road to the left.
Riding on a galloping horse, the strong wind blew his already slightly long hair a little scattered.
Frowning, Ron turned his head to look at the training camp behind him, who was gradually moving away, and there was no emotion on his calm face.
It wasn't until the training camp building was completely out of sight that he looked at the road ahead.
The number of people who joined the army this time, plus the fact that he only had six people, was also expected.
After all, in this period, no one will drill into the army unless it is a mandatory recruitment.
Compared to his own purpose, Ron didn't know what these people had in mind to join the army.
Although they are all subordinates of the same training camp, they are only acquaintances, not familiar, and some of them have not even said a few words.
Ron turned his head to look at the strong servant on his left, who had spoken earlier.
He remembered that the man's name was Rubeus, and he was also in the top 10 strongmen on Bill's leaderboard.
Good at using two double-edged axes.,Before entering the training camp, he seemed to be an adventurer like a mercenary.。
Combat skills are very rich, and Ron has observed him fight with other minions several times, and the fight is very aggressive.
In my impression, he injured people by mistake a lot because of fighting with people, and he was punished for this.
Since he hadn't been with him, Ron didn't know if this guy's personality was the same as his fighting style.
Except for Rubeus, the other four were all ordinary subordinates, ranked at least fifteen, and Ron didn't pay much attention to this.
However, this time I went to Best's barracks to report, and I think it should be closer, after all, they all came from one place.
No one spoke on the road, they all hurried in a muffled voice.
The military camp they were going to was on the border between Best and Lane, and it would take about five or six days on horseback.
It's better here, and occasionally you can come across small towns and villages as resting places, but as you get closer to the border, these rest spots become less and less.
If it does rain, I guess there is nothing to cover except for my tent.
Fortunately, everyone knows this, so they are well prepared......
Three days later.
In the afternoon, under a slightly overcast sky, there was a barren land overgrown with weeds.
In the middle of the land, on a winding path, six horses moved quickly in a line.
The sound of horses' hooves was particularly noticeable on this deserted path.
The howling wind made Ron's eyes squint slightly as he felt the faint wetness in the air, and he looked up at the gloomy sky.
On the gray clouds, a few large black birds were slowly streaking.
The weeds in the surrounding wasteland retreated rapidly as they moved.
Suddenly, a small drop of rain hit his cheek, bringing an icy chill.
Rubeus, who was running at the front, turned his head and shouted.
"Damn, everyone, hurry up, before it rains heavily, we'd better find a better place to camp, or we'll just wait to eat the mud!"
No one objected, and everyone asked the horses under them to speed up.
Although it is close to the border area and the villages and towns are very scarce, it is still a place where people have lived, and it is not difficult to find an abandoned wooden house or something.
Twenty minutes later.
The hazy light rain gradually fell, and on the path, which had begun to become a little muddy, everyone finally saw a black wooden house standing not far from the side of the path.
It was not known what the hut was used for, but now it looked dilapidated, and a large hole in the roof could be seen even from a distance.
The original light rain also seemed to have the meaning of getting heavier and heavier, and the leather armor on several people was almost wet.
No one signaled, everyone controlled the horses and hurried towards the hut in tacit agreement.
Soon, the group arrived at the hut, and after simply tying the horses together, they quickly walked to the hut with the package on their backs.
The black wooden door of the wooden house seemed to have decayed, covered with deep and shallow ravines, and was gently pushed by Ruber at the front, and with a 'click', the wooden door suddenly fell inward.
He was slightly stunned, and then strode into the wooden house, and several people behind him also followed.
Stepping on the crunching plank, Ron gently stomped his boots to remove the dirt from them.
He looked up at the end of the wooden roof, where the big hole was in the middle, and the rain was falling from there, gathering a large pool of water stains.
However, fortunately, the scope of this cave is not large, and many parts of the wooden house are still dry.
Several people looked left and right at the wooden house, and one of them, a slightly shorter and obscene-looking man, hammered the wall of the wooden house, making a 'knock' sound.
"This thing isn't going to collapse, is it?"
"If you're afraid of collapse, you can spend the night outside, I don't have a problem. Ruber grinned and bared his yellow-brown teeth, and he pulled a double-edged axe from his waist and broke a large hole in the leaking plank in the middle, allowing the rain to leak directly into the ground.
"I'm just talking. The man shrugged his shoulders, took out the things he had made a fire out of his package, and gathered up the planks that Rubeus had chopped up, intending to make a fire.
Hearing the ridicule of the two, the others shook their heads slightly, and also began to prepare the guy for dinner.
The rain seems to be going to be unstoppable for a while, and I think I should spend the night in this wooden house.
Ron took out a few large pieces of dried meat and dried mushrooms, and took out a few pieces of white bread and a small jar of honey, and placed them on the white cloth that the other servant had laid out.
After Ruber had solved the leak, he walked back to the wooden door that had fallen to the ground and stuck it on the frame.
Soon, the fire was rising, and a small black pot had been set up on it, and in it was boiling the things that Ron had brought out earlier.
The smell of mushrooms mixed with meat lingers in the cabin.
Eating honey-coated bread, a few people chatted quietly, and occasionally Ruuber told stories about his former adventurers.
Ron listened quietly, sometimes interjecting a sentence or two.
In the past three days, several people still got along well, and there were no contradictions.
And Ron also knew the reason why these five people planned to join the army at this time.
Rubeus and the other servant simply liked that kind of fighting life, and the other two had nowhere to go, and they didn't want to follow the lord to Rabina, so they chose to join the army.
The last one is for revenge on the Ryan Empire.
Ron didn't really care about the reasons for these people.
The only thing he had to consider now was whether what Grant had said before he left was true about the peculiarities of Best's regular army.
