The first impression that the White Forest Plane brought to Surdak was that the hue of the plants was lighter, like the world of the mildly weak color.

The road that led along the river to the north was covered with chest-high white reeds on one side, and on the other side the slope was overgrown with a barren grass called sword-leaved grass, and among the weeds was covered with rattans with thorns, which made the seemingly flat slope not so easy to walk, and the vines were like tripwires in it.

During a short break in the cavalry battalion, the Gubolai horses were led by the guides to graze on the slopes.

"This is the pasture of the Goss family, the area is very extensive, we will spend about a day, they have raised at least 5,000 Gubolai horses here, with fourteen herds of large and small, in the morning and evening the herdsmen will drive the horses to the river to drink, the road we are going to walk happens to pass through the pastoral area, the noble lords of the Goss family do not mind the passing horses eating some weeds on the side of the road." One of the Xiang guides told Surdak that the tone of Imperial Chinese was a little strange, but it could make people understand what he was saying.

"How long are we left to get out of this meadow!" Surdak squinted into the distance, a meadow with no end in sight.

The guide replied: "I am afraid that we will not be able to cross this pasture to-day, and we will camp by the river upstream in the evening, and we will be able to get out of this pasture tomorrow morning, and then we will arrive at the village of Desovoz in the evening, and we can find a place to stay at the village's house, and the cavalry battalion can camp outside the village, and the girls in that village are very welcoming, and the Baron can tell me in advance if he needs to arrange it." ”

Standing on Gulitham's shoulder, Andrew looked into the distance of the pasture and couldn't help but sigh: "This ranch is really big. ”

The guide stood aside, looked up at Andrew on the ogre's shoulder with some awe, and explained: "The Goss family participated in the initial development of the White Forest Plane, and this grassland was probably exchanged for a larger piece of land, in fact, this grassland only extends north along the river, and the grassland without a water source is not worth much here, after all, no one wants to drive the horses for half a day just to drink a sip of water." ”

Andrew jumped off the ogre's shoulder and said to the guide, "Even if there is no river, you can dig a well." ”

"In Bailin, you have a variety of options."

When the guide said this, a look of pride appeared on his face.

The rest time is always very short, mainly because the cavalry battalion recruits are not used to riding horses for a long time, and they can't eat, drink, and lazar on horseback, so they have to dismount and rest every once in a while. Rao is so, a lot of recruits big. The inside of the leg was worn out, and when he dismounted and walked, he bent his legs with bared teeth and walked with duck steps, which was funny and ridiculous.

However, no one complained about the bitterness and fatigue of this marching life, they were a group of recruits who had come out of the barren land, and had not yet eaten enough of the powdered and pastel-boiled marching rations, and they were still very much looking forward to the marching rations with fried wheat flour, dehydrated dried vegetables, dried meat powder, and salt, and they were eager to eat them for three meals a day.

Even the guide felt that the marching rations distributed by the Green Empire were the most convenient food to eat, and they only needed to make a fire to boil a pot of hot water, and if it was an emergency, it would not be difficult to swallow even if they were swallowed with cold water.

"It's good, it's just too expensive, two such marching rations can be sold for a silver coin in Wilkes, and you can order a plate of tomahawk steak in the best restaurant in Wilkes City with one silver coin, and only the Bena army stationed here will eat this ration luxuriously." The guide said enviously.

As soon as this sentence was said, it suddenly raised these marching rations to a higher level.

The cavalry battalion continued north.

In the afternoon, I finally saw a merchant group of nearly 100 people in front of the avenue, a row of four-wheeled carriages filled with all kinds of supplies, there were more than 20 of them, and the materials on the trucks were also varied, most of the materials were packed into wooden boxes or some sackcloth, so it was difficult to guess what goods were inside.

A mercenary group walked in front of the caravan and noticed a cavalry in the rear, and several mercenaries rode around to the rear of the caravan in front, although they did not rush over, but kept an eye on the cavalry battalion.

The cavalry battalion did not walk fast, but the horses could still easily catch up with the four-wheeled carriages in the caravan, and when the distance between the two sides was shortened to within 100 meters, the steward of the caravan and the head of the mercenary group came out of the ranks at the same time, and took the initiative to greet Surdak, and when they saw the noble badge on Surdak's chest, the vigilance in their eyes dissipated mostly.

"Where are you going, Lord Baron?" The caravan steward jumped off his horse and asked humbly, standing in front of Surdak.

Surdak felt that this was no secret, and replied, "Dodan Town! ”

The caravan steward grinned and said, "Oh, it's so far away, if I remember correctly, it's the northernmost frontier of our occupation zone. ”

Surdak also asked, "Where are you going?" ”

The caravan steward glanced back at the caravan and replied in a low voice: "There is no specific destination for the time being, just to sell these goods, and then go to Vale to buy some black iron concentrate and sell it to Bena City." ”

Many caravans in the plane will organize such caravans to travel between Pena City and Wilkes City, but whether it is in Pena City or Wilkes City, during the caravan round-trip, whether it is coming or going, the car will always carry some local goods of good quality and cheap to another city to sell, as long as it is profitable, there is nothing that cannot be sold.

The caravan steward talked to Surdak implicitly, and even took out two boxes of cactus fruits from the wagon to give them to the cavalry battalion, and asked the convoy's four-wheeled carriage to stop on the side of the road to make way for the cavalry battalion.

Two boxes of cactus fruits were evenly divided among five hundred cavalrymen, just one for each person.

This sweet fruit, which can be eaten during the journey, can indeed make people feel happy, although the cost is not much, but the caravan steward's ingenious behavior has won the favor of many cavalrymen.

Selena, who was riding a white camel, and Samira, the half-elf archer, each had a few more, and no one seemed to notice that Selena secretly stretched out a small white hand under her skirt, grabbed a cactus fruit and quickly retracted it.

At nightfall, the cavalry battalion camped on a slope by the river, and the recruits were quite skilled in setting up their tents, and the food was the most simple marching rations.

The recruits were drawing some water from the river, and the veterans had already unfolded the fire-gathering scrolls and lit the campfires for cooking......
