284. Grand Canyon
Surdak saw the old village chief in the largest stone house building in Diego Village, a group of middle-aged and elderly people were pointing around the sand table on the table, but they were not army commanders, and it was already remarkable to be able to find the general area of activity of the bandit group on the sand table.
Behind the group of village chiefs stood a row of young men and women, who were also listening intently to the village chiefs' discussions.
Seeing Surdak wearing a demonic beast skin armor walking in, these young men and women looked over in surprise, and the group of village chiefs also noticed the commotion behind them, and some people inevitably glanced back, and they were also a little surprised to see Surdak who walked into the stone house.
Among this group of village chiefs, in addition to Uncle Bright, Surdak also knows the village chief of Guta Village.
He was looking around at the stone house, which was more magnificent than any stone house in Wall Village, with a very high ceiling, a spire, and a very thick tripod on the roof, and the walls were painted with white lime, which made the room look bright, and there was only a large round table in the room, which looked like a meeting place, except for a large stone floor.
One of the gray-haired old men stood out from the crowd and asked respectfully at Surdak:
"Lord Knight, what are you doing here?"
The village chief of Guta Village recognized Surdak at a glance, and hurriedly leaned into the old man's ear and whispered a few words.
The old man nodded slightly, and the village chief of Brett explained: "Ahem, before I came, all the strong laborers in the village entered the mountain, and only Surdak was in the village to deal with emergencies. ”
"Bright, your Wall Village is really amazing, there is actually a knight out of the village, your village will slowly get better with the care of this young knight!" In the crowd, some village chiefs who were very familiar with Uncle Bright said one after another.
The first old man to stand up was the village chief of Diego Village, and he was the only one who was most familiar with the Grand Canyon.
He saw that the crowd was gradually quieting down, so he said, "Okay, let's continue to talk about the Grand Canyon, I am going to divide two teams, one team from the front into the Grand Canyon and search along the way." Another team bypassed all the way from the top of the canyon, about 20 kilometers of mountain roads, you can find another entrance to this Grand Canyon, but the entrance over there has gone deep into the Paglos Mountain, and there are many beasts there, and there are often wolves infested, and the team on the other side of the canyon must have rich hunting experience. ”
Some anxious village chiefs interjected below: "We'd better act quickly, if it's any longer, I'm afraid that the bandit group will have left the Grand Canyon long ago!" ”
"Well, I'll cut it short......" Chief Diego rubbed his forehead a little helplessly.
……
Surdak was assigned to the first group, a group of twenty-five people, all young men and women who had not yet joined the army, in addition to twenty-one young men, there were also four young women with hunting bows on their backs, and looking at them in Orion's attire, Surdak could tell that they had some experience in hunting.
The first group had to enter the Grand Canyon head-on, along a river in the canyon all the way to the southwest, and it would take nearly a day to walk out of the canyon.
Surdak followed the first group into the canyon, and sure enough, as Uncle Bbright said, there was no wind outside the canyon, and as soon as he entered the Grand Canyon, he felt a strong wind blowing in his face, and these winds seemed to flow in the Grand Canyon, and he looked up to see the mill windmill leaning in on the top of the cliff, and the four huge fan blades like sails were slowly turning, which made Surdak a little curious, how did the big windmill of the mill be built on the cliff of the canyon.
The group walked into the canyon against the strong wind, and Surdak did not ride a horse this time.
He was not very familiar with the complex environment from here to the canyon, and was worried that the complex terrain would cause unnecessary damage to the horses' hooves, and the other twenty-five people in the first group did not ride horses, so Surdak decided to follow the first group members into the Grand Canyon on foot.
The first team consisted of young men from the village of Diego, who were very familiar with the Grand Canyon, and walked a few kilometers northwest along the river at the bottom of the canyon, and found the remains of a camp in front of a river beach, and some leftover fish bones and sheep bones were scattered on the river beach, and the goatskin that the village chief Diego had spoken of was no longer here.
The campfire ignited by the camp on the river beach was some chestnut branches, and the robbers actually carried some firewood with them in order to make a fire, and the camp was found this morning, but it was already afternoon, and if the bandits had left this camp in the morning and left the Grand Canyon directly, I am afraid that they should have left safely from the other end of the canyon by this time.
It is not known what the robbers are trying to do, but the patrol team is ready to follow this lead, as this bandit group has already threatened the village of Diego and some of the surrounding natural villages that are relatively close.
Surdak knew in his heart that the bandits were probably still looking for Selena's whereabouts, and since they had the ability to raze a noble manor to the ground, it should not be difficult to ransack the nearby natural village.
A young man following Surdak asked, "Lord Knight, I heard that you participated in the Plane War?" ”
He looked very young and didn't understand how brutal war was.
Surdak nodded and responded, "Hmm! Warsaw plane. He was looking at the rock walls on the left and right sides of the valley, which were full of horizontal stripes and stacked on top of each other like the pages of a book, which was very unique.
Unexpectedly, someone behind him was actually talking to him, Surdak turned around and saw a young man in a leather waistcoat and linen bloomers, holding a dung fork in his hand, dressed a little funny, and standing behind Surdak with a grin.
Seeing Surdak's easy-going personality, the young man caught up with him and asked, "So what do you think needs to be paid attention to in the army?" ”
Looking at him again, I guessed that he was probably old enough to serve in the military, and he had an inexplicable fear of the Imperial army, so he had the courage to ask this.
Surdak felt it necessary to tell this inexperienced newcomer some of his attempts in the barracks, and although he did not expect to remember them all at once, at least he could subtly give him some correct understanding of the army.
So Surdak said: "There are many things to pay attention to in the army......
Surdak spoke a lot, and the young man listened attentively.
In this way, I didn't know how far to go in the canyon, and suddenly I heard the guide of Digo Village who was walking in front shouting: "Come and see, everyone, there are footprints here, those robbers must have left from the other side of the canyon." ”
The villagers on the side were also a little puzzled, and complained on the side: "I really don't understand, why do these robbers come to our poor countryside to rob, do they think that we villagers are very rich?" ”
