150. Crossing the river
By the time they caught up with the Trolope Knights, John the Craftsman had already driven his carriage over the vast hilly terrain.
Standing in the way of the fleeing warriors was a river called Pasyedi, where many fugitive warriors converged and lined up to cross the river in the gentle, shallow water.
At this time, it was the rainy season, and the Pasyeti River was originally just a small river, but at this time, the river was nearly 100 meters wide, and the river was a little muddy.
There are nearly two dozen shallow areas along the Pasyeti River suitable for crossing, but the riverside is also extremely chaotic, and the vanguard of demons has already pursued the river, but the soldiers of the expeditionary force who fled also realized that if they fled and did not resist, then everyone would be buried on the banks of the Pasyedi River, so some of the river crossing areas spontaneously organized small resistance forces.
He Boqiang and Hathaway chased all the way to the river, and found that the craftsman John and the flatbed truck, which was extremely conspicuous in the crowd, were crowded with other soldiers on a bank suitable for crossing the river, where there were many soldiers crossing the river, and no trace of the evil spirit had been found for the time being.
Seeing that Hathaway was able to return in time before crossing the river, the Knight of, who was sitting on the flatbed, was finally relieved.
For him, his duty and mission this time is to protect the female students of the Bednar High Swordsman Academy.
In fact, according to the past practice, the military sent a team of armored knights to accompany them, just to go through the motions, after all, these experienced students who came out of the academy came to the battlefield in place, and they only felt the atmosphere of the war, and did not directly participate in the battle.
Moreover, the graduates of this group of swordsman academy are second only to the junior construction knights in their own strength, and they have strong combat effectiveness, and the senior management of the Bednar Legion will only appoint a legion and a team of constructed knights to accompany them in order to show that they attach enough importance to the training activities arranged by the Bednar Advanced Swordsman Academy.
Recently, the battle report from the camp of the Moyunling Expeditionary Force has been all going well.
Solomon. Marquis Bowen reported every step of the battle to the military headquarters of the Bednar Legion in great detail, and the Moyunling Expeditionary Force appointed the young high-achieving students of the Knight Academy to set up a war room for the first time in the legion, and the war room formulated an extremely detailed battle plan during the preparation period of the campaign, and the entire battle plan could be implemented almost without any mistakes, and the battle situation in Moyunling would progress steadily every day.
It was also because of the detailed data and optimistic future battle predictions on the report that Duke Newman agreed to the application of the Bednar Swordsman Academy to go to the Moyunling battlefield for training.
Unexpectedly, this group of academy students had an accident before leaving the forest camp and a magic caravan broke down.
The other knights of the Constructed Knight squad left early with the other two magic caravans, leaving only the Knight of Trollope and a group of guards in the forest camp waiting to repair the third magic caravan, and it was at this time that the news of the Demon Legion's successful defeat of the expeditionary force's heavy cavalry regiment on the front line reached the forest camp.
Not long after, the forest camp was also attacked by demons, and a large number of supplies in the entire camp were burned, and the demons began to intercept and kill the Imperial troops who were preparing to break out, and the knights of Trolope were injured in the process of this breakthrough, and then the magic caravan finally drove into the hilly area of the wilderness, but it was unexpectedly intercepted by a group of demons again, thirteen female students of the Bednar High Swordsman Academy died tragically under the giant axe of the demons, and seven guards and a coachman who accompanied the car were also killed by these demons.
On the banks of the Pasyeti River, John saw Hathaway return safely, and was so excited that he waved to them.
But then he found that He Boqiang was carrying seven angular demon heads, his face became inexplicably surprised, and he cautiously said to He Boqiang:
"Knight Surdak, it's great that you and Miss Hathaway are back safely!"
"The Knight of Trollope and I have just been asking the other soldiers about you, and someone said that you have led the evil spirits to the side of the woodyard camp, and the Knight of Trollope is worried that you are under siege...... Now it's finally going well, thanks to Lady Liberty. ”
Craftsman John has no idea of dying since he got a ghost head, and when he saw He Boqiang returning with a ghost head, he also chattered endlessly.
"If you don't come back, I don't know how to cross the river......
Hathaway walked up to Beatrice, the round-faced female swordsman still unconscious, but she looked much better than before.
The river crossing area here is not too deep, but the center of the river is about waist-deep.
As a professional craftsman who repairs catapults, John's idea is to find some wood to erect a bed on the flatbed and erect Beatrice, but there is no tree on the river, so he can't find suitable wood.
The idea of the knight of Trolope was to have He Boqiang ride the Gubolai horse and cross the river with the unconscious Beatrice. And he was supported by the craftsman John to cross the river, less than 100 meters of the river, you should grit your teeth and get through.
He Boqiang felt that it would not take much time to ride a horse and send Beatrice and Trollope to the opposite bank in two separate ways.
While the matter was being discussed, the fleeing warriors waiting to cross the river had already entered the waist-deep water, and the bottom of the river should have been easier to walk on than the muddy bottom that would sink deep into it if they stepped on it, and the situation was much better than expected.
Everyone was about to consider crossing the river in two times according to He Boqiang's plan, Hathaway stood up straight, took a deep breath, and said to He Boqiang:
"Knight Surdak, leave this matter to me, Mr. John, please help Knight Trollope to his horse......"
After saying that, she walked straight to the deserters waiting to cross the river behind the flatbed truck, and said to the soldiers with an arrogant face:
"I need eight strong soldiers to carry my wagon across the river, and the reward is one gold coin each, which can be paid in advance, may anyone be willing to help?"
Before Hathaway's words fell, the group of deserters waiting by the river scrambled to stand up and shouted:
"I can ......"
"Me!"
"Please use me, I'm strong enough......"
Hathaway swept the crowd around with a critical eye, then randomly selected eight warriors, led them to the front of the flatbed, and without waiting for Hathaway's command, she stood in a position and lifted the flatbed truck and resisted it on her shoulders.
Eight fighters shared a simple flatbed truck, but in fact, each of them did not share much weight.
At this time, the knight of Trolope happened to be helped by the craftsman John to the Gubolai horse, and the knight of Trollope on the horse immediately became different, the momentum and majesty revealed from him, and all the eyes of the surroundings fell on him, and they all moved out of the way, and he seemed to be completely integrated with the Guborian horse, and took the lead into the river.
The eight warriors straightened their chests and walked into the river without hesitation, walking towards the opposite bank step by step.
John the craftsman followed closely at the side of the knight of Trollop, like a knight's servant, carrying a Pagolio spear, holding his chest high, and with a demon's head on his buttocks, and stepping into the river with great vigour.
Hathaway glanced at He Boqiang, with a smug smile on the corner of her mouth, and followed the flatbed into the river.
