972. The other side of the mountain

This time with the rebel army, there is no need for Gullitham to carry the Arvid Magician.

The bearded Edgar arranged for two rebel soldiers to carry the magician Arvid on a stretcher, and Nora accompanied the magician Arvid, and took meticulous care of the magician Arvid along the way, which saved Surdak a lot of trouble.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, the jungle is hot and humid, the gravel and mud under the feet are very soft, and there is a certain slope, sometimes one foot down, the whole person slides down with the mud and gravel.

Although the warriors in front had already stepped on a path in the woodland, when they passed halfway up the mountain, there was a steep vertical mountain wall on the left, and a valley 100 meters high on the right, and there were torrents at the bottom of the valley, and the mountain path was so narrow that a war horse would block the mountain road.

If there is a slight problem in the front, you have to stop and wait in the back.

On the opposite side of the cliff is a dense mountain forest, from time to time you can see a group of fire-tailed monkeys jumping and running on the top of the tree, they are not afraid of people at all, they see the people on this side of the mountain wall from a distance, let out a provocative howl, the appearance of baring teeth is very arrogant, so that the horses in the team become restless, and the warriors can only put blindfolds on them, so that they can only see the road ahead.

He walked and stopped until dark, and in fact he didn't go far in this mountain forest.

A series of rumbling sounds were heard not far away, and the entire mountain wall shook violently.

After a while, the earthquake subsided.

The team has come to a complete standstill.

The ogre Gullitham looked a little irritable, but he could only sit next to the cliff, he mainly didn't eat dinner, his stomach was protesting to him, and he could only eat some scones and luncheon meat, and marching rations, but these things were completely unable to satisfy the appetite of the two-headed ogre.

Gullit picked up a stone the size of a basin and waved his arm like the group of firetail monkeys on the other side.

A fire-tailed monkey avoided it, and was immediately smashed to pieces by a stone the size of a basin, and the stone hit the trunk of a tree and shattered, and the body of the fire-tailed monkey was like a balloon filled with water, and it burst open, and the flowery entrails hung on a tree.

Frightened, the other fire-tailed monkeys scattered and fled......

I didn't meet any rivers and streams along the way, and Xiya couldn't take a bath along the way, so she was a little uncomfortable.

She could only stand next to the cliff and nail the water gathering rune board to the rock wall, the water gathering rune board kept dripping raindrops, and she stood on the edge of the cliff and drenched herself in the rain to keep her skin moist enough.

Dense raindrops fell on her pretty face, and the light veil on her face accidentally fell off, revealing a beautiful face that touched the heartstrings......

The rebels next to him were shocked to see Thea's beautiful face.

Wizard Arvid didn't even lift his head, and at the front of the group, lying on a stretcher, whispered to Nora with a calm face.

As a two-turn eagle-eyed, Samira is completely unaffected by the sheer cliffs, and she can easily climb to the top with her bare hands......

It was almost dark when news came from the front that a boulder had rolled down from above and was stuck in a rock crevice, blocking the passage.

The ogre could not get past the horses and warriors blocking the front on such a narrow cliff road, but Surdak and Samira were completely fine, so they left Thea and Gulitham in place, and Samira climbed the cliff to lead the way, and led Surdak over the cliff for nearly 300 meters.

Surdak finally saw that at the corner of the mountain wall in front of him, there was a crack in the mountain that split on both sides, and the team was going to pass through this gap.

The trail is a little wider, but it's very limited.

Surdak and Samira rushed to the front, and saw a boulder stuck in the gap, and some small stones around it, as if several soldiers had been killed by it.

A group of rebel fighters are hammering the rock with miners' hoes, ready to break it little by little, thus opening the mountain road.

The rock is almost six or seven meters high, and at their rate, they probably won't be able to open the passage tonight.

The bearded Edgar was over there directing the dispatch, and Surdak walked up and asked, "Is there anything you can do to help?" ”

Edgar rubbed his forehead, and said with some distress: "I didn't expect the boulder hanging on it to fall down at this time, if I can't clean it up tonight, I guess I will have to spend the night on this rock wall......"

It's a pity that Gullitham can't come, otherwise the ogre is still good at smashing stones.

Surdak and Samira looked at each other.

"Is there any good way?" Edgar asked anxiously.

Surdak thought for a moment and said, "Our companion is stuck behind, and I believe he will be able to handle it...... Now we need to think about how he can get from behind to this side. ”

Samira then proposed: "If you want Gulit to come, you need everyone to get out of the way of this narrow mountain road, I can climb to the top of the boulder, throw a soft ladder down, and all the warriors crowded here will climb over the boulder through the soft ladder, and then push the horses that are blocking the way down the cliff, so that you can make way for Gulitham to come and ......"

"Captain Edgar, what do you think?" Surdak asked Captain Edgar.

Edgar was obviously a little reluctant to take those horses, but when he was stuck here, the losses could be even greater if the lord's army caught up from behind.

"Well, you can't keep ......it here all the time," said the bearded Edgar. Gu Yu

Samira did not climb with his bare hands, but only with the help of a double. Excellent bouncing power of the legs, easily stepping on a few convexities. She squatted on top of the boulder and hung down a soft ladder from it.

This soft ladder is prepared for arming the Thunder Rhino, and if you want to climb the platform on the back of the Armed Thunder Rhino, in addition to passing through this soft ladder, you have to climb the shelves with your bare hands.

As the captain of the archer brigade, Samira also carried several of these soft ladders with her in her magic fanny pack.

A group of rebel fighters, under the orders of the bearded Edgar, climbed the boulder one after another and climbed over it.

The rebel soldiers were reluctant to kill the horses loaded with supplies, and at this critical juncture, these rebel soldiers actually thought of tying up the horses with ropes, and hanging them on the cliff, so that the way was out of the way, and the two-headed ogre came from behind.

By the time Gulitham came up from behind, it was midnight.

"It turned out that this big guy was blocking the way......"

The two-headed ogre took the miner's hoe and let out a 'huh' sound, and his whole body crawled all over the black at a speed visible to the naked eye. Totem, his eyes also became blood-red, his skin became like stones, the miner's hoe in his hand swung out, and the gravel fell off like a piece of scale.

'Just to chisel a stone, you're bloodthirsty?' ’

Surdak pressed one hand on his forehead and sighed that the ogre brothers were really real!

It's rare to see them work so hard in normal times......

However, the ogre's way of chiseling stones was also a test for these miners' hoes, and after he broke five miners' hoes in a row, the boulder was finally completely shattered by the ogre's brute force.

As for the broken stones, they were transported out of the cracks in the stones and thrown into the mountain stream by beating drums and passing flowers.

In the wee hours of the morning, the passage was finally opened.

However, when the sky was dark, the team regrouped and set off, and after walking through the cracks in the mountain wall that was several kilometers long, it was finally clear in front of them, as if all the mountains and rivers were close at their feet.

The terrain is very high, and as far as the eye can see, the entire forest at your feet forms a green sea, a meandering river is hidden in it, and countless tributaries are intricately gathered, and flocks of birds can be seen in the sky.

It is as if this mountain completely separates the two worlds of the north and the south.

The road down the winding and rugged mountain road was easy to walk, and halfway up the hill Surdak saw several rebel camps hidden in the jungle, all of which were built by the river, which had easy access to water.

"The rest of the world is good here, a large area of fertile land can be reclaimed in the woodland, and the water resources are relatively abundant, and the only threatening beasts in the jungle are some jungle tigers and poisonous snakes, which are not a big threat to us, and the only drawback is that they are isolated from the world and the supplies are very scarce......," the bearded Edgar squinted his eyes and said with a look of longing.

Then he pointed to a few camps at the bottom of the hill and said, "We have five camps built here, but this is not our big rear. ”

"Isn't it here?" Surdak couldn't help but ask curiously.

He didn't expect the rebel army to be so large.

"Of course! We've only opened a few camps here in the last two years, and we're going to continue to ...... south," Edgar said proudly, then he pulled a map out of his bosom, pointed to the southwest corner of the map, and said, "Here it is." ”

Surdak also had one in Surdak's hand, much clearer than the one in Edgar's hand.

"The southern edge of the Dry Cloth Plane?" Surdak asked, confused.

Edgar nodded, and said proudly:

"Well, that's where the Lord's Army can't reach in the true sense of the word, and we've already established three free towns over there."

Surdak touched his nose and fell into deep thought for a moment.

……

The party entered a camp by the river, where the women of the camp led the migrants into newly built wooden huts.

It seems that this side has been prepared for a long time, the vacant wooden house is very clean, and the wooden bed and wooden table inside are with some moisture from the trees, and it looks like it should have been built not long ago.

The camp was about the size of a tribe, originally about a thousand people, but now more than 700 people have migrated from the camp on the other side of the mountain, and the camp is a bit crowded, and almost all the wooden houses are full.

There is also a group of rebel fighters in the camp who are building new wooden houses.

Because the camp is close to the river and the terrain is low, it is impossible to continue to dig pits in the ground to build a wooden house, and it is estimated that a few shovels can dig out the water, and the construction of a wooden house requires the kind of damp-proof stilted buildings.

After everyone settled here, Surdak walked around the camp as he pleased......
