24. Before dawn

A rolling stone the size of a coconut fell at He Boqiang's feet and shattered, and the debris splashed onto He Boqiang's legs, although his legs were wearing leather armor, they were also cut by the debris painfully.

A lot of rubble fell into the fire, and it smashed into sparks.

He Boqiang pulled Surdak's arm and rushed into the woodland outside, those red-eyed crazy hyenas wanted to pounce on He Boqiang's body and bite twice, but as a large piece of debris fell from the top of their heads, the group of crazy hyenas did not have the courage to stay in place, and let out a burst of rapid hissing, and suddenly those hyenas also turned around and fled towards the dense forest.

He Boqiang and Surdak were the first to rush out of the camp, and he was about to run down the mountain, but he was stopped by Captain Sam behind him.

Captain Sam was followed by Jeronnan and Red Sox and some others, and at this time he pointed twice to He Boqiang and Surdak to the east side of the slope.

He Boqiang and Surdak immediately understood and ran towards the woodland on the east side of the mountain with Sam, the captain, relying on their alertness and excellent reflexes, avoiding several large falling rocks in succession along the way.

Several hyenas were about to pounce on them, but they were buried underneath by falling rocks falling from the sky, and the hyenas behind them fled with their tails between their legs.

He Boqiang held the shield with one hand, trying to block the debris flying overhead, but fortunately, everyone moved fast enough, and before a large amount of debris fell, they ran to the safety area on the left side of the mountain in embarrassment.

Baron Sidney and the others also ran out from under the mountain wall with a large group of warriors under the protection of a group of guards.

Several large falling rocks fell from the sky, but they were forcibly split in the middle by the brave Baron Sidney with his two-handed greatsword, and the white cyclone on his body turned into white flames again, steaming around his body, and it seemed that people could feel that he was full of power.

The hyenas let out a terrible howl and disappeared into the darkness of the forest in the rain of rubble.

……

Baron Sidney was in the woods on the hillside with the surviving warriors of the Fourth Brigade, with a bloody streak on his face, apparently wounded when he had just fled from under the mountain wall, and the double-edged broadsword stuck diagonally at his feet.

Tumbling rockfalls, large amounts of gravel, and dirt with old branches and leaves rushed down the mountain wall like a soil dragon.

The entire mountain wall was buried by the rockfall of this mountain wall in an instant, and the large area of dense forest below the mountain wall was also completely washed away.

Many of the warriors took off their armor when they rested, and at this time they could only wear linen shorts and stand shirtless in the woods.

Everyone watched as a huge boulder as large as a house rolled down from the top of the mountain, leaving a deep ravine in the mountain path.

Waiting for those rushing rocks to slowly stand still, the mountain wind blew away a large amount of smoke and dust on the mountain range, the sky has revealed a touch of fish belly white, the sky full of stars gradually disappeared in the sky, the dark sky gradually turned blue, a trace of clouds floating between the mountains in the distance.

A group of soldiers stood on the hillside in embarrassment, except for the members of the second squad where He Boqiang was wearing armor, only the soldiers of the second squadron who were on duty at night were still wearing armor.

This time, Baron Sidney brought out the 4th Brigade and the 1st Squadron of longbowmen, and now there are less than 200 soldiers left to stand on the slopes of this mountain range.

Surdak patted his chest hard, and asked the red socks beside him a little distractedly: "I'm still alive?" ”

"That's right, you're still alive, we're all alive!" Looking at the landslide that gradually subsided, Red Socks said with a somewhat wooden expression.

The black boy sat under a big crooked tree.

Captain Sam walked up to He Boqiang, patted him on the shoulder, and said with gratitude in his eyes, "If you hadn't been alert, we would almost not have been able to escape." ”

……

This day one. The night's experience was a nightmare for Baron Sidney, who had plunged from the clouds high above into a hell full of flames, his eyes so full of anger that even the guards around him did not dare to approach him.

Baron Sidney did not comfort the lost warriors under his command, and with a gloomy face, he pulled his double-edged greatsword out of the rock at his feet, left everyone here with his great sword on his back, and rushed to the top of the mountain alone like crazy.

His stride is big, his bounce is amazing, and he can step on a raised rock accurately every time, going backwards along the edge of the rockflow.

The guards behind were worried about the safety of Baron Sidney, so they hurriedly chased after him, and several squadron leaders could only bite the bullet and follow behind with the remaining soldiers.

The highest mountain is this cliff on the west side of the mountain range, which has a gentle slope on the west side and a cliff on the side of the big mountain pass, and the rocks on the top of the mountain are curled like waves, but now most of them are gone.

Baron Sidney rushed to the top of the mountain several hundred meters high in one breath, and saw that the top of the mountain was in a mess, and there was a huge pit with a diameter of more than ten meters next to the rocks, and a huge gap was dug on one side of the pit, and this side of the gap was on the side of the mountain wall.

Baron Sidney was a little unconvinced that the indigenous hunters could pry such a large boulder, so he jumped directly into the boulder pit at the top of the mountain, walked to the edge of the boulder crater's opening, and looked down at the long-lost mountain wall below.

He Boqiang found that there were dozens of huge wooden stakes that had been cut down by people at the mouth of the giant pit, and he instantly understood that the huge rock on the top of the mountain was not pryed and rolled down the mountain by the natives, but that these indigenous hunters hollowed out the boulder and supported it with some giant trees, as long as someone cut off these huge trees supporting the boulder at the top of the mountain, the boulder would be affected by its own gravity and roll down the mountain with those giant trees.

This time, the Fourth Brigade was almost buried in this big mountain col by this group of indigenous hunters, and now I feel a little chilled just thinking about it.

The white of the fish belly on the horizon gradually became larger at this time, and the vision in the distance became clearer and clearer, and He Boqiang could vaguely see a group of aborigines leading into the mountain forest far away into the woodland on the other side of the big mountain col.

Judging by the route they walked, it should be that they intended to go deep into the Gandaur Mountains.

Although he was almost buried by the rockflow, He Boqiang felt a trace of admiration for the indigenous hunters in the distance for no reason.

This group of natives, who had been driven out of their homes by the Imperial soldiers, did not give up their resistance under the strong force of the Empire......

At this time, Baron Sidney, who was standing on the top of the mountain, had an indescribable embarrassment.

However, despite the fact that the indigenous hunters relied on the natural environment in the Col, the red-eyed hyenas and the rockflow wiped out half of the 4th Brigade's living force, and the remaining remnants of the soldiers were greatly reduced in effectiveness, the indigenous hunters still did not have the courage to fight the warriors under Baron Sidney head-on.

It seems that there is not a slight difference in strength between the natives of Handanar and the Imperial soldiers.

When dawn came, the red-eyed hyenas had already retreated into the dense forest, and the sun carrying hope slowly rose from the mountains......

He Boqiang and Surdak sat back to back on the boulder at the top of the mountain, looking at the rising sun and being silent for a long time.
