74. Death Mission

It was so hot that the linen shirt was wet and sticking to his body after only a few steps.

The humidity in the mountains was heavy, the fog was thick, and the hot wind carried the rain.

In the distance, it was gray, and the whimper of a bobcat could be heard dozens of feet away, but it was heard but not seen.

After entering the Gandaur Mountain, I found that the road here is far less easy to walk than the forest farm, to be precise, there is no road at all.

The team that walked in the front forcibly used a firewood knife to split the bushes and weeds blocking the front, so as to open up a way for the large army behind.

Enter the rolling mountains, the ridges are high and steep, and in some places suddenly break off, and below are rocky abysses. The sides are covered with shrubs, and the thatched thorns and vines are coiled with each other, dense and impermeable.

Sometimes, when you encounter a cliff, you have to follow the mountain road under the rock wall, with a cliff on the inside, a deep valley on the outside, and a narrow road full of hoplite infantry soldiers, everyone is huddled together, unable to move forward, and there is no way to retreat.

The mountain road was far more difficult to walk than previously expected, and it was actually quite easy for a five-man scout team to pass through this cliff, but once the large army was crowded here, even if the people in front took a slow step and passed to the back, it would form a blockage for a while.

Red Socks untied the kettle from his waist, and after taking a sip, he handed it to He Boqiang in front of him, and said, "Save some drink, I don't know how long I have to wait on this plank road, this ghost weather, obviously the humidity is so big, I am still thirsty." ”

He Boqiang patted the copper kettle on his waist and signaled that there were many more in it.

He Boqiang cut off a piece of bamboo from the side of the cliff, and cut it into a smooth bamboo stick with a few simple strokes, and supported it under the tent bag carried by the red socks, so that the red socks did not have to unload the large package with heavy loads, but only needed to lean on the cliff wall, and with the support of the bamboo sticks, they could rest comfortably for a while.

In this way, even if the team moves forward immediately, there is no need to make preparations for carrying it, and it can continue to move forward with a pat on the butt.

"Or do you have more ideas!" Red Socks praised He Boqiang.

He Boqiang walked to the edge of the cliff and saw the dense forest growing out of the steep slope at his feet, if he accidentally fell down, he would not fall to his death, but those thorny vines and dead branches would get people stuck in the dense forest, and it was definitely not easy to climb up from below.

The road under his feet was muddy, and the muddy water seeped out after the warriors in front of him trampled the weeds, and when he stepped on them, the water that was full of water between the roots of the grass would flood the upper of his shoes.

This time, half of the soldiers of the second squad carried firewood knives, and the other half carried logging axes, and everyone had to cut a forest road in the gentle mountain for the cavalry to pass.

A horse bell rang from the mist, and soon Baron Sidney rode up from behind, and the warriors pressed their bodies against the cliff wall to make way for Baron Sidney to pass by, and he was going to the front to see what was happening.

Not long after, an order from the Earl came from the front, and the infantry regiment camped in place for the night.

There is no room to set up tents on the narrow mountain paths, but fortunately, some time ago, the red-eyed hyenas were hunted frantically, and Surdak distributed a sleeping bag of dog skin mattresses to the soldiers of the second squad.

Red Socks unloaded the large backpack behind him, then spread out the sleeping bag on the trail that was only a few feet wide, and tied the ropes from the sleeping bag to the vines that jutted out between the cliff walls, so that he would not roll down the cliff if he rolled over in his sleep.

The soldiers of the other squads looked at these dogskin sleeping bags of the second squad with envious eyes.

He Boqiang didn't sleep well at night, he had insomnia all night, and finally felt a little sleepy, and as soon as he fell asleep in a daze, he was woken up by red socks, looking at the starry sky, with a blank face.

"There's an order from the front, ready to go at any time......" Red Socks explained to He Boqiang

Surdak gave each of the soldiers a piece of baked wheat cake, and filled it with cold water from the kettle to settle breakfast.

At dawn, the soldiers of the second squad were already on their way to departure.

When passing through a narrow mountain road, I found that there were obvious traces of fighting, the smell of blood in the air had not yet dissipated, and I could not see the casualties of the soldiers of the infantry regiment, but on the canopy on the side of the deep stream hung three corpses of demons who had been cut off and skinned, the purple blood on their bodies had dried up, and their bodies were covered with scars, and I didn't know how much the team in front had spent to ambush these three demons.

After exiting this treacherous path, the team plunged headlong into the endless green sea forest, which is full of poisonous insects and poisonous plants, and the best way to defend themselves against these poisonous insects is to arm themselves from head to toe.

The bearded Cagle caught a python, and the body of the python was cut into three pieces by him with an axe, and the part of the head continued to attack Cagle, and finally Augustus took advantage of the python's inattention to penetrate the python's head with a Pagolio spear and firmly nailed it to the ground, which was considered to be a complete end to the battle.

So this giant python, which is more than five meters long and as thick as an arm, naturally became the dinner of the second team.

He Boqiang could see the majestic Moyun Ridge in the distance, the highest mountain in the eastern part of the Kandar Earl Mountains.

The demons built their stronghold on this mountain, but also wanted to take advantage of the dangerous terrain here to smoothly survive the previous weak period, just waiting for the demons in the mountains to open one after another, the demons continued to enter Moyunling, and built a defensive stronghold here, even if a nail was stuck in the western defense line of Duke Newman's legion.

If you don't find a way to clear the demon legions on Moyun Ridge, then the various corps of the Burna Legion in the western defense area of Handanaar County will be nailed to the defensive line.

The 57th Heavy Infantry Regiment walked in the mountains and forests for three days before it finally touched the edge of the section responsible for opening up the forest road.

Follow Mondstadt. Count Goss's plan was to divide the five brigades of the 57th Regiment, each of which was responsible for opening up a section of the forest road.

The 4th Brigade was assigned to the area closest to Moyun Ridge, where it was said that the Demon Scout Team was often haunted, and it was the most dangerous of all the infantry brigades.

Baron Sidney rode on the Gubolai horse, and even when he led the Fourth Brigade to leave the main army, he kept his chin high, looking at the momentum that did not take the demons on Moyun Ridge in his eyes at all......

The veterans of the Fourth Brigade followed behind the Baron with sad faces and walked towards Moyunling in the distance.
