Chapter 19: Speculation
A pause instantly made Mu En nervous. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Is there any aftermath?"
"Is this to the end, it's because you've been poisoned for too long, and the toxicity has penetrated deep into the blood, so I have to increase the measurement of the antidote, well, probably the measurement of ordinary people. This antidote is actually a kind of poison, used to poison the mode of poison attack poison, if the dosage is large, it will also kill people, since I poured the medicine on you, you have been in a coma for three days and three nights, but now that you wake up, it will be fine.
Then again, your life is quite tough!"
"What happens if you don't wake up?"
"If you can't wake up, you'll never wake up, and I'll find a place to bury you. The old man said as a matter of course, without mentioning the tone, so indifferent that he couldn't be indifferent anymore, which made Mu En feel that his hairs stood up.
(There are definitely not a few people who die at the hands of this old man!) This is what Mu En thinks at this time.
"By the way, the toxins have been eliminated, and there is nothing injured on your body, as long as it does not hurt the internal organs and bones, it is all flesh and skin wounds, but the opening is a little longer, and the blood flow is a little more, nothing. In the Kress leader, I found a bottle of 'light healing' healing potion. I poured it on you before, and I guess it will be better in the next day or two. ”
In fact, strictly speaking, 'light healing' is only a half-finished potion, this potion is not so exaggerated, but it is also much better than ordinary potions, and it can be made by ordinary apothecaries without the help of those legendary potions. Of course, you have to be the best kind of doctor to have access to these.
"In other words, I shouldn't have any problems, right?"
"Yes! If you recuperate from trauma, you will be alive!"
(Yaya, you can finish talking at one time, it scared me!)
Mu En scratched his head and wisely began to change the subject: "Respected Elder, this should still belong to Soros's territory, but where is it? Why are those Kress people here?"
"This is indeed the territory of the city-state of Soros, but it is already within the scope of the city of Errante, and the Rock Village is the closest village to the lonely wasteland in Erlanth.
Some time ago, I don't know what happened, a group of Cresses came, they surrounded the village, and drove the villagers to the lonely wasteland, and finally slaughtered everyone there, and it is very strange that these days have passed, and they are still entrenched in the rock village, neither evacuating nor plundering other villages, very strange movements. The old man spoke more and more slowly, obviously wondering what this group of Kress was trying to do.
"And where are we now?"
"Still in the lonely wasteland. But it's not too deep, because of some special reasons, there are also water veins here, so I built a house and a well here, and from time to time I would bring my granddaughter to live for a while. If I hadn't come here before, surrounded by a large group of Kresers, I would have been unlucky. ”
"Poor boys from Rock Village, some of them are still very good, they are all good seedlings! and a few old fellows, all of them are not bad. Speaking of this, the old man was a little depressed.
However, Mu En didn't pay attention to him, and his brain unconsciously began to run rapidly.
(Everything has a root, and these Cresses aren't going to stay here for no reason, so what do they want to do?)
(Although I had been lying to the leader, if the words that came out of his mouth were true, it was clear that the Lancôme had paid some price for the Kress to help in the war.) )
(Kress and the Soros city-state don't share a border, and if they come here, they must pass through the Lancôme city-state, and then break through the war zone, and then raid the rock village, but what's the point of this?!)
While thinking, Mu En's mind unconsciously began to compare and analyze the map in his mind. In the process of dreaming for a long time, Mu En unconsciously began to collect information from various regions, and after adding the knowledge and cognition of ready-made maps among several possessed scholars, minor nobles and merchants, he had a general topographic map of Soros and the surrounding countries in his mind.
And that's absolutely precious.
You know, in this world, because of the limitations of technology and the dangers of the wild, it is not easy to get a complete map, and even sometimes, the most valuable thing for a merchant is not the goods and gold coins, but the complete map of the trade routes.
(No, it's certainly not like that, there's another way.) If you count it, to the north of Elrant is the Rock Village, to the north of the Rock Village is the Lonely Wasteland, and further north of the Lonely Wasteland is the city-state of Cress.
That is, they can do this...... )
Mu En suddenly thought of something, he stared straight at the old man and said, "I have an idea, not necessarily right, but you can refer to it!"
As he spoke, he walked directly to the table and dipped his right hand in water and spoke in circles on the table: "You see, this is Errant, the rock village is close to the lonely wasteland, and as far as I know, the territory of the Kress people is also close to the lonely wasteland.
I've heard the chiefs inadvertently say that they were invited here by Lancôme, if that's the case. We can assume.
Suppose that the leaders of Soros do not know that Kress is in the war, and if these Kress people want to capture Errant, and from there, enter the hinterland of Soros, make a surprise attack after detouring through Soros City, or simply engage in sabotage, how do you feel?"
"This can't be, King Soros is not a fool, how could he not find out about Kress's actions!"
"So, let's assume again that the Kress entered Thoros territory directly through the Lonely Wasteland?" Munn's hand swiped directly on the table.
"You say across the Lonely Wasteland?"
"It's even more impossible, you may not know much about what the Lonely Wasteland is, it's fine on the edge, but in the center, all directions are distorted, it's not a place that mortals can measure, let alone traverse. The old man's tone was light-hearted, and it was clear that he was disdainful of this kind of reasoning, or more confident in the lonely wasteland.
"It's a joke, even if a powerhouse of the extraordinary level of King Cress personally intervenes, it is impossible to accomplish it. ”
Mu En was stunned, he didn't know that the Lonely Wasteland had such a big reputation, and it seemed that the place he crossed should not be a central area. However, this made him stick to his conjecture:
"Yes, everybody thinks that way of you, so, everybody feels impossible, and that's what the Lancôme city-state and Kress are for. ”
"I don't know what it is, but what if they can find a way to find their way in the Lonely Wasteland......?
"Don't you think this Kress squad is actually an advance team? They drove the villagers of Rock Village into the lonely wasteland, so that no one could get away. They huddled in the rock village, in fact, waiting for the arrival of the large army. When they saw me, they killed me without asking why, isn't it just killing their mouths!"
After saying that, Mu En felt that all the problems were smooth, if it was right, things must be like this. And the old man froze suddenly, his huge eyes suddenly narrowed into a slit, he is also an old fox-level character, I didn't expect that I didn't believe that anyone could cross the lonely wasteland, this thinking misunderstanding is here, naturally I won't think too much.
And Mu En is not a Soros person at all, or even a person from this world, so naturally he will not believe in the statement that the lonely wasteland cannot be crossed.
At this time, once the old man's mind was opened, he thought more, as a person of his age, he had seen far more than Mu En, he knew how vast this world was, and how incredible it was, naturally, he could guide the way in the lonely wasteland, although he didn't know, but there must be.
Suddenly, the old man stood up straight, lowered his head, and stared at Mu En tightly: "According to you, if the large army of the Kress people arrives, will we not be safe here?"
Under the shroud of the old man's huge body, Mu En only felt that the old man's eyes were so terrifying, he seemed to see boundless killing, on the battlefield, blood and flesh were flying, stumps were all over the ground, and there were countless dead.
(This may be the true face of the old man!)
Mu En reluctantly exhaled and insisted: "If my inference is correct, there are two results in the future, one is that the Kress people do not have many troops and can only be used as a surprise soldier, then they will raid Elrant City in the first time, and then scatter and blossom in the territory of Soros to cause sabotage or cut off the grain route." The other is that the army continues to arrive, so it is to find a stronghold and steadily encroach on Soros's territory little by little.
Either way, when Kressie's army arrives, they will go crazy to sweep down all the villages and towns of this generation, slaughtering anyone they can see and collecting supplies to ensure a safe retreat if the plan fails. “
"If we encircle and suppress the Cress warriors in the Rock Village in the first place, and set up an ambush, we may inflict heavy damage on the Kress army behind them. However, as far as we are concerned, when Errant tells them that the Cresses are calling, I guess no one will believe them. ”
"So, the most important thing we should do now is to scout the movements of this group of Kresers, and then, escape is the main thing. ”
After Mu En finished speaking, he stared at the old man's reaction, and then he was stunned. I saw that the old man directly took off his bow and arrows and various equipment, and after quickly packing up, he looked at Mu En and said: "It doesn't matter if I'm dead, old man, but my granddaughter can't be fine, I'm going to investigate the movements of that group of Cresses now, you just stay here and wait for me to come back." ”
"Groa, come here!"
"Grandpa, what's the matter?
"Don't do it yet, help grandpa watch this person, don't let him run away, grandpa will come back when he goes out!"
After the old man finished speaking, he walked out cleanly, and Mu En's face was full of stupidity, can this be used so simply?!He looked at the little girl around him again, staring at him with a pair of watery eyes, can she see me?!
(I...... Damn, what kind of off-line characters are these grandparents and grandchildren???)
However, watching the old man go out, he had to shout, "Wait......"
