Chapter 132: Decoupling
"Moo~~~~", a few marsupial camels that are gnawing on tender grass raise their heads to the sky, making a long and leisurely cry, chasing the wind and shaking their fluffy tails, driving away the mosquitoes around them, the body of the long-haired dairy sheep shuttles between the cattle and horses, and is happy to take care of all the livestock cubs.
It was past seven o'clock in the morning, and there was still silence in the tribal camp. If it was a normal day, at this time, there were already early herdsmen who began to prepare to take care of the livestock, and the mercenaries of the caravan should have already gotten up to pack up the camp and sort out the goods, and they were ready to continue their journey after breakfast, but today is different, everyone got up late today, after all, yesterday's banquet was noisy for a night.
The camp is now in shambles.
In the center of the camp, there was no open flame in the fire erected, only curling green smoke coiled above the fire, and among the embers, the only few pieces of dark red charcoal were still insisting on dissipating heat, but it was only the last struggle.
Beside the fire, the leveled ground was covered with trampling marks, as if fifty elephants had walked on it, and there were a large number of wine bowls and cutlery scattered around, and many scattered clothes were thrown haphazardly on the ground, and even a few poor leather boots, scattered alone in all corners around the embers.
On the other side, the six cooking pits had long since been extinguished, but the huge copper pot still had some temperature, and the broth in the pot had cooled, and a thick layer of grease had condensed on the surface.
At the banquet, hundreds of blankets were casually discarded on the grass, and there were discarded bones everywhere around the blankets, and even now, from that direction, there would be a strong smell of wine and meat, and the meat and bones on the ground attracted a lot of greedy birds to hunt for treasure between wine utensils and food residues.
Last night, after the return of the crows, the feast became lively again, perhaps as is the traditional custom of the steppe herdsmen, who, after eating and drinking, gathered around the campfire, singing and dancing around the fire. Living in the open grassland all year round, the herdsmen's voices are rich and loud, and their voices soar to the sky when they sing, which is quite unique.
Infected by the mood of the herdsmen, those mercenaries also began to stir, although the unique vigilance of the mercenaries made them never forget to be vigilant, but the mood still became high, especially when the crow and Mi Xin jointly gave them instructions, which can temporarily lower the alert level, the mercenaries even itched, simply changed the end of the class and danced with the herdsmen, the two races that fought endlessly hundreds of years ago were actually mixed together without any mustard at this time, if the high-level of the various races saw it, I don't know whether they would cry or laugh.
The lively banquet lasted until midnight, and everyone was still unsatisfied, and if it wasn't for the next day, the convoy would have to set off, I'm afraid it would continue to toss.
This is the most comfortable experience for mercenaries in the wilderness, they don't need to prepare camps, they don't need to think about food, they don't need to allocate a large number of people to guard all night, they don't need to worry about where a few strange beasts or demons will jump out and let themselves die in vain, it's even more comfortable than in the city.
The hospitable herdsmen generously allocated two large tents to the caravan, which had all the living facilities, and also prepared a single tent for the high-level mercenaries and Mi Xin, so except for a few unlucky people, everyone could even sleep soundly at night.
The sky was beautiful, and the night was exceptionally quiet. It may be that he was scared away by the herdsmen's songs, or he was frightened back by the formation of thousands of livestock, or he may have felt the chaotic aura emanating from the depths of the mutant origin and was unwilling to approach, in short, for the whole night, not a single beast or alien beast roamed around the camp, and even the faint howl of animals came from the distant horizon.
Not only are there no animals, but there are not even dozens or hundreds of scattered demon spirits that used to be encountered every day, and in the past, camping in the wilderness and having to disperse many wandering demon spirits every night was one of the duties of the guards. But last night there wasn't even a single demon passing by, and it was as beautiful as living in a world before the disaster.
"Ah~~~~", the curtain of a tent was lifted, and a mercenary who had just woken up yawned walked out, and then like a chain reaction, the mercenaries walked out of the tent one after another with sleepy eyes.
It stands to reason that even if you can ensure safety, you shouldn't play until midnight in the wilderness, after all, you can ensure a night's rest in order to face the danger in the wilderness the next day with sufficient physical strength and concentration. However, today is special, you can save a lot of preparation time in the morning, you can get up late like now, and the most basic sleep can still be guaranteed.
Looking up at the sky, it was still blue, and it seemed to be a good day today.
"Well, it's definitely a good day. The black-clad crow opened the curtain, and as soon as he came out, he smiled, and even spoke in a brisk voice, and those who were not familiar with him would surely think that something good had happened to him last night, so that he was very happy now. However, Rose, the only one who knew him, looked at him and sneered softly at this time, and Rose knew that showing such a happy smile must have filled his heart with anger or dissatisfaction.
The crow that had been freshened up and was waiting for breakfast beckoned to the sky, and the two strange beasts, big black and small black, with a group of ordinary crows, fluttered and fell, and they didn't know whether they were close relatives or distant relatives of the same kind at all, and flew around in the camp, only two strange beasts, and they fell on the crow's shoulders in a regular manner. Patting the pet's head, the crow smiled at the rose and said, "It's a sign of good luck when you go out and meet such good weather." ”
"Huh. Rose smiled meaningfully and sat down beside the crow without saying a word.
"Boom, boom. The roar of the locomotive suddenly broke the peace of the morning, and in the far away on the empty grassland, a locomotive flew in. Walking in, you can see that the rider is a member of the rear escort force, although the speed of the car is fast, but there is no anxious look, it should not be too bad news.
"Boss, there's a situation in the back. The rider who had come from afar was let into the camp, and immediately walked quickly to Mi Xin, took out a letter and handed it over, "Someone asked us to give you this letter." ”
"Huh, send a letter?" No wonder she had to make a trip instead of radio contact, Mi Xin nodded and took the envelope after a moment's pause, "What the hell is going on?"
"Last night, the small team that was following us suddenly sent someone to contact us. The messenger replied, "They say it was a misunderstanding, and we wish you a prosperous business and a safe journey, boss." ”
"Hehehe. The crow pushed his glasses and let out a soft laugh.
