"Are you sure you don't have to say hello to them?" Another morning came, and Kenny rode on the western shore of Pearl Lake, the morning mist filling the calm surface of the lake like clouds. He turned www.biquge.info Kane Irene and asked Kane Erin, who had just left all the refugees in the deserted village without saying goodbye, but had left them with enough food for a week, and the only remaining flour and wine were all his belongings, except for his horses and armor, of course.

"No," Kane shook his head on his tall black stallion, "there are many hunters among them, and there are many fishermen who make a living by casting nets, and the village has a forest to the south and a pearl lake to the north, enough for them to live." With that, he turned his head to look at the village that had gradually disappeared into the mist, his eyes full of worry.

Camille snorted twice, his teeth chattering from the freezing mist of early spring. "Lord, why are we suddenly heading north?

"Let's go to Sunshine City. Kenny told the soldiers. Obviously, before they could inform their subordinates about last night's plan, the Alliance Army behind them was naturally confused.

Camille nodded, and turned back, probably to tell his brothers the news.

Later that evening, they found a small village outside the strange forest of what Kane called it, but the army could only camp outside the village. On this point, the two down-and-out lords coincide. "Ah, your lords are like that?" said Kane's personal soldier, Ruth, looked at Camille with wide eyes, who nodded helplessly, and then proceeded to unsaddle his lord's saddle and let the horses graze.

When the hunting party returned, the campfire had already been lit, Kenny was sitting bored in the open space to make a fire, and Kane returned from the village with half a bottle of mead. "Damn, I said I was Kane Irene, and the damn innkeeper said, "What is Kane Erin?" he yelled as he approached Kenny, "that guy with the long head of the ass told me to get out." At that time, I almost rolled my face....."

"And then?" Kenny laughed.

"I wanted to duel him, really, gloves off!" Kane shoved half a bottle of beer into Kenny's hand, "But it can't be helped, he's not a knight, he can't duel with a spoon, right?" Hey, how can I touch the light of my own citizens, but this wine is too fragrant, so I left it. ”

You are really good prevaricating. Kenny barely spits out the mead in his mouth. He swore that it was the worst mead he had ever drunk in his life, worse than the water-mixed mead in the tavern of Nippur.

"Hey, man," Kane sat down next to Kenny, biting off the deerskin gloves with his teeth and throwing them aside, his eyes wandering not far away, "what the hell is the origin of your own soldiers? Don't talk about a scary white wolf, and always have a word alone, do you know his background? won't you slaughter us all in the middle of the night....."

"Camille?" Kenny turned his head to look at the imp not far away, who seemed to be chatting with a goat waiting to be slaughtered. "He's a bird whisperer," he turned to Kane, "and he's been with me since I was on the First Continent, and then ..... Because of something, I left for a while. ”

"Oh. Kane nodded, and as if by magic, he pulled out the sheepskin map from yesterday and spread it on the ground. "Kenny, we're here now," his index finger poked somewhere on the map, "ahead is the Strange Forest, it will take about three days to cross this forest, and then there is the Valley of Silk, this place can be avoided, let's get out of the forest from the west, spend two more days to get around it, and then the Quiles Plains....."

"How big is the Quiles Plains?"

"One out of five Sumerians, even a quarter. Kane said.

Kenny habitually takes a sip of wine, but then realizes that it was a mistake, but he swallows it in his stomach and ponders for a moment. "There is no shelter on the plains, and naturally there are no valleys and jungles, and if the Flame Legion catches up, we ....."

"That's what I'm worried about, man. Kane snatched the bottle and took a big sip, the honey-colored liquor spilled on his black cashmere coat, and he wiped his mouth with his sleeve nonchalantly and lay down on the lawn. "To tell you the truth, Kenny, I never thought in my life that one day I would be chased away by my own family, Genos, the chief instructor of the Flame Legion, is my own uncle, and he gave me my first sword. He taught me how to use the sword, he taught me how to lead my troops into battle, he taught me how to get along with those faces, and he taught me—"

"Lord," Camille said at some point, as he walked behind the two, "and the bird said that someone was chasing us, and it was not far away. ”

Kane Hodi got up from the ground. "How far is it?"

"Half an hour at most, about 3,000 people, galloping all the way, without stopping. ”

"It's the light cavalry of the Flame Legion. Kane guessed.

"Lord, teach them a lesson?" Camille asked with a grin.

"No, what a waste of time. Kenny got up from the ground, "Give the order to go down and put out all the campfires, let your wolves drive the mules into the Howling Forest, and trample on as many bushes and branches as you can to create the illusion that we are entering the forest, and the army will bypass the valley from the west side of the forest." He turned to Kane, "Let your men keep up and don't fall behind." ”

The station immediately became agitated. The tents that had just been set up were put away again, the clerks removed the large iron pots, covered the fires with earth, and the herds of game were tied with hemp ropes and hung on the backs of pack horses along with the pots and pans, and some of the larger ones, such as goats and young deer, were released on the spot. Kane rode on the black stallion and looked at everything in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly admire the orderliness of the Alliance army.

"What are you doing?" Kenny rode his horse over, "Hurry up!" and with that he shook the reins, kicked the horse in the belly, and disappeared into the night. As Kane followed, thousands of Allied troops followed him in two columns, rushing to the west of the Howling Forest, while the thousand white wolves drove the poor mules into the forest, causing a flock of fallen crows to startle and scatter.

They raced along the edge of the Howling Forest, past rivers, orchards, and abandoned farmlands, past small villages, ruined towns, and sturdy-built uninhabited estates.

Until dawn comes. "This is the last town in the north," Kane said, "and further on, around the Silk Valley, we can reach the Quiles Plains. ”

When they stopped, Kenny ate the prey they had hunted the night before, and Kane ate only some wild fruits, and they hit the road again. The team circled the rugged mountain road, crossed the Silk Valley on the map, and reached the Daquilles Plains in the evening of the third day.
