220 Frozen Swamps
There was no word all night, and a group of people left the fortress in the early morning of the next day, this matter did not alarm too many people, but Gerald and other good brothers sent each other, for these brothers who were born and died for a few months, of course, it was inseparable when they parted, but they all knew in their hearts that Sheng Xuan and the others were afraid that trouble would come if they didn't leave, and Gera pulled Ortega, and at this moment Ortega was holding back with a flat mouth and not crying.

"Good brother, I'll send you here. Gerard took a few brothers to send Sheng Xuan off the fortress, and after sending him a few miles forward, he stopped, "Well, Brother Gerald, I'm going to trouble you from now on." "Sheng Xuan of course refers to what Gerard has to report to the military department after they leave, and it can't be said that a team of mercenaries suddenly disappeared without any news.
"Don't worry, although I, Gerald, am a rough man and can't write any outstanding articles, but this little thing is not a problem, I will take care of this matter, you take care all the way. Gerald knew it was time to break up, and tears welled up in his eyes.
And at this moment, Ortega was already in tears, "You are still injured, so you just left, I really 、、、、 you must come back alive." As he spoke, he couldn't stop crying, which made everyone feel sad, and Gerard couldn't help yelling at him, "What are you crying, crying, look at your cowardice." But there were also tears on his face.
Shengxuan and his entourage did not simply leave, but to go to the frozen swamp, although this was not said, but it has been guessed by everyone, Alavi stepped forward and gave a deep salute to Shengxuan, Shengxuan wanted to get off the horse and return the salute, but he was stopped by Alavi just after his physical inconvenience, "You're welcome, the gift just now is to thank you for teaching your skills, although you can't treat each other as a teacher, but we will always be good brothers." ”
Then Alavi looked at the three Hodheck brothers, "We can't go with you, after all, the relationship between these clans is too delicate, and I'm afraid we will cause more trouble if we go." ”
Sheng Xuan couldn't help but nodded, "Okay, all good brothers, go back, as soon as March or May, or as late as a year, we will definitely come back, and then our brothers will drink and gamble together." ”
"Good. "Take care!" Seeing Sheng Xuan walking towards the depths of the canyon with a team of less than thirty people, gradually blending into the dense fog of the cold winter morning, Gerald and the others reluctantly returned to the fortress.
Early in the morning, Shengxuan had already sent Wiener and Mei'er away, and told them to pay attention to safety, if Gomos led people to make trouble again, he would rather give up the Mithril Mine than fight with it, although Reg was able to get away with cutting off one of his arms, but the price paid was also quite heavy.
Frozen swamp, millions of kilometers in radius, due to the mysterious snow-capped mountains of the snow continues to melt, a large amount of snow water flows here, so that the whole place becomes a swamp, after countless thousands of years, the swamp has formed its unique environment, from a distance it seems that the whole is a dense forest, the ground is green grass like felt, but everywhere is full of dangers.
Once you walk inside, you will realize that the green is not green grass, but a kind of moss, which can be found everywhere in the frozen swamps, and after explaining the wood, everyone knows that it is covered with mud underneath.
Once someone walks up as a meadow, they will immediately fall into it, and the icy mire below has a huge attraction, I am afraid that many Saint-level powerhouses will not be able to escape, only the doom of being swallowed by the mire.
And the Gundam trees are not as safe as they seem, there are many sharp stingers on them, once accidentally stabbed, they will be poisoned and unconscious, and the roots of the trees will slowly climb up his body, injecting more toxins into his body, and eventually become nutrients for the growth of the tree.
There are no less than 10 million species of poison ivy of such trees, but these are not the most dangerous, the most dangerous are those demonic beasts hidden in the large mire, they have completely adapted to the environment here after countless thousands of years of transformation, they can hide under the mire for several months without moving, and when the prey enters their range, they will suddenly pounce out, and in an instant they can devour a bison weighing thousands of catties, and there is no fur and blood left.
And this is only the danger in the environment, in that frozen swamp, there are also some highs and lows, where the environment is relatively safe, where was the orc colony before, but now there is usually a Calais elite stationed there, these Calais garrisons are not so much soldiers as bandits, not only arbitrarily oppress the orc groups in the jurisdiction, but also often rob the orcs in disguise, and sell the young and strong as slaves.
Under the continuous oppression and lure of the Calais, some of the original large-scale orc groups of thousands have now taken refuge in Calais in exchange for the hope of survival of their own race, and the Calais approach them is to let them take care of those orcs who refuse to submit.
Originally from the same race, these obedient orcs, in turn, persecuted their fellow tribes more cruelly, and even often slaughtered some small races.
Sheng Xuan and his entourage, under the leadership of the wood and other orcs, quickly marched towards the frozen swamp, and they only walked for two days for a distance of hundreds of miles, which was already the limit of speed for such a team with injuries.
But they didn't know that on the night they left the fort, several mysterious masters sneaked into the fort and kidnapped several sentries, although one of the sentries was later released, but he was also covered in wounds, Gerald asked him who did it, and the sentry was too frightened to tell the situation, but repeatedly said, "I don't know, I really don't know where they went, they left early in the morning, as if they were fleeing." ”
No need to ask, Gerald already knows what the purpose of these people is, and he can't help but secretly fear in his heart, since the incident of the man in black, he has completely sealed the fortress, and tripled the guard at night, but he still can't stop those mysterious masters from coming in and out, so it can be seen that the cultivation of these people is probably far higher than his own level, if Sheng Xuan and the others leave a day late, I am afraid they will not be able to escape the enemy.
After Shengxuan left, the Hodheck brothers and Alavi and others also left for refuge, and the only regular soldiers left in the know were Gerald, I am afraid this is also the reason why those people did not make a move, it seems that they don't want to tear their faces with the principality at this time, after all, this is the front line, and assassinating a general who is on the border will mean declaring war.
When Sheng Xuan led people to step on a high ground, their group finally walked out of the canyon, the frozen swamp was already in front of them, everyone stood there and couldn't help but look around, only to see the vast swamp at a glance, but on their right hand side of the heaven and earth line, it seemed to be a vast plain.
"Where is it?" Wood looked at Sheng Xuan's fingers, and his face couldn't help but darken, "Where is actually the hometown of the orcs, called the Red Kanguna Plain, which is formed by the impact of the four major rivers of the Red River, the Condo River, the Gugus River and the Navarra River, after the orcs were driven from this land into the swamp, it became an important grain producing area in Calais, and the orcs still work on this land, but they have changed from masters to slaves. ”
It was a humiliation, a tragedy of blood and tears, in which countless orcs were forced to abandon their homes and go to the frozen swamps full of danger under the iron hooves of Calais, while those who remained became slaves of others, slaughtering others to produce food for others, and in the end they were only coarse chaff for barely surviving.
Sheng Xuan didn't say anything more, just waved his hand at the wood, "Let's go, it seems that we will spend the night in this frozen swamp tonight." ”
Although the orcs such as Wood all the way had already told them about the situation in the swamp before, it still caused them a lot of trouble when they really entered here.
As soon as they entered the swamp, he took a few orcs to collect a lot of wild grasses on the side, and then used these wild grasses to form a bowl, and then tied them firmly to the horse's hooves, these grasses are rich in oil, so they generally do not bring muddy water, but greatly increase the area of the horses' hooves, making it easier for them to walk in the swamp.
When he got on his horse again, he said to everyone, "You all follow my horse, and it is best not to deviate from a single step, and I will warn everyone when you get to a dangerous place, but you must be careful." ”
Repeatedly reminded everyone many times, but did not go out a few miles, something happened, a mercenary warrior because he walked so far has nothing to do, so he relaxed his vigilance, and as a result, he stepped out with the horse, and suddenly fell into a quagmire, fortunately he abandoned the war horse in time, only to escape, but the war horse disappeared into the mire in a blink of an eye, and suddenly the mire was like a tumbling boiling oil, countless small insects hugged it, and in a blink of an eye, the war horse was only left with a skeleton.
Seeing this terrifying scene, the group no longer dared to take a wrong step, and in this way, under the leadership of the orc warriors, they walked in the frozen swamp for several days without any problems.
On this day, the wood walked and suddenly stopped everyone, and then he quickly disappeared with a warrior into a dense thorn next to him, the sharp spikes on it didn't seem to work on them at all, watching them disappear into the thorn bushes, several people also quickly dismounted and rested for a while, but no one dared to go far, what seems to be green grass is usually a trap, and in this deep winter, the ice that looks solid is as thin as paper, and when you step on it, it will suddenly shatter, and people will fall into the mire below.
After a while, Mu Tou came back with the warrior, looking very ugly, "What's the matter?" Sheng Xuan and the others couldn't help but hurriedly ask, "Originally, I thought that the road we were walking was very remote and we wouldn't meet Calais, but I didn't expect that a group of Calais in front of me was 、、、, 、、、、."
Mu couldn't say any more, and the orc warrior next to him hurriedly said, "They are exercising **, but they were resisted by this small tribe, and as a result, many young orcs in the clan who resisted were killed, and their bodies hung on the trees in the village." ”
As soon as he heard this, Sheng Xuan couldn't help but think of the scene when he first encountered the wood, what a bloody scene it was, which was still deeply imprinted in his mind, he looked at the wood and then at the orc warriors in the team, and saw that they all had extreme anger on their faces, but this anger was desperately suppressed by them, and some people were still peeking at him.
"Bring the guys, let's go see. After saying that, Sheng Xuan took back an iron spear from the saddle, and now that he was destroyed and lost the dragon's teeth, he could only use this ordinary iron spear.
Reg was obviously not at ease, and couldn't help but say to him, "Shengxuan, your injuries are not healed, so I'll take someone with you, you and these brothers stay to see the good war horse." ”
Hearing this, Sheng Xuan couldn't help but smile, originally he wanted to say it to Regg, but he let the latter say it first, "I think it's better to go together." ”
