Chapter 59: Reconnaissance (3)
Zhao Qianfeng, who left the ruins, walked along the edge of the forest in the direction of the stream to the east, and now the target direction has been clear, that is, to follow the river channel formed by the stream. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When he walked not far from the river, he found more traces of demon activities, and Zhao Qianfeng also began to be cautious, judging from these traces, except for a small part of the direction where he came, the others were all along the downstream of the river, and they were by the river.
Now that the woods were lurking for a while, he didn't notice that there were demons here, Zhao Qianfeng walked to the river, which was where several streams converged.
After thousands of years of erosion, the river beach is full of small cobblestones, and the stream is so clear that if you throw a stone down, the water is not deep, and it is estimated that it is knee-deep.
The stream joins into a river, and the terrain is the same as that of the plain, but it is evident that there are artificially built parts on both sides of the riverbank, which are made of neat cobblestones, and the stones are almost the same size, and near the water's edge there are several stone pillars, which are indented by ropes.
Obviously, there are demon ships docked in this place, and judging from the dents, there were many ships docked a long time ago, but now they are rarely used here.
Throwing a stone down, a dull sound, the water was deep.
The water is no more than knees at 100 meters upstream, and the terrain does not show a large drop, but the water here is very deep?
I went down in person, and sure enough, the water was about 20 meters deep.
After going ashore, shake off the water, the clothes were originally made of waterproof silk in the imperial capital, and after shaking off the water droplets, it was a little uncomfortable to get wet on the body, and it was comfortable to walk around the body with aura.
The river was obviously dug by hand, and it has been a long time, and it is estimated that it was done by field personnel who came to carry out the mission for the first time.
At that time, to complete the project of opening the mountain, it was necessary to prepare a lot of materials, so the demon clan at that time was still called the force tribe at that time, deepened the river, and used boats to transport materials, and later this also became a means of transportation between the two worlds.
It's a pity that these records have been forgotten by the Terrans with the passage of time, and the demons have also lost a lot of technology due to a civil strife, at least the big ships that could be repaired at that time were not able to be built later.
It is estimated that the habitat of the demon clan should not be too far away, and Zhao Qianfeng is waiting in the woods for the sky to get dark.
After dark, Zhao Qianfeng took advantage of the cover of the night to travel northward along the river, the road ahead began to widen, and after walking for a while, he heard movement in the distance, looked forward along the edge of the woods, there was some light in the distance, and cautiously passed, first saw a long fence.
First entered the forest and detoured for a while, then approached the barracks, lay on the ground, and looked through the fence, a barracks appeared in front of me.
It may be the meal time of the demons, and there are many bonfires lit in the open space of the barracks, and you can see that each bonfire is surrounded by a circle of demon soldiers.
The whole noise came from these campfires, and although the noise was loud, it was too loud to hear.
Looking at the environment of the barracks, there are two gates in and out, one of which is on the way to Zhao Qianfeng, there are several spell towers standing at the door, and the shape of the building is the same as the spell tower at the pass, and several demons patrol and guard on the spell tower.
The barracks were originally made of wooden fences near the forest, but now they are walled with stones, and there is a platform made of stones in the middle of the barracks
It turns out that the materials that have been demolished are all used here by the demons.
Zhao Qianfeng also counted the number of camp tents and bonfires very patiently, and it was seen from the abandoned military camp that one camp tent was inhabited by five or six demon soldiers, looking at the number of camp tents in this military camp, it was estimated that there were about a thousand demon soldiers here.
Thinking back to what the captives said, there are nearly 5,000 demon soldiers near the pass, so there must be other military camps in the demon clan, thinking of this, Zhao Qianfeng first quietly left the fence of the barracks, and went around the outside of the barracks to the vicinity of the other gate of the barracks to observe.
There were demon soldiers patrolling around the door, and Zhao Qianfeng didn't dare to get too close.
I saw a few demons at the door walking back and forth, shouting, and the sound was so loud that Zhao Qianfeng, who was hiding in the distance, could hear it clearly.
It's nothing more than that these people still have to guard the door during meal time, watching others eat unpleasantly, and at this time, a soldier came to the door guards with a piece of meat in his hand, as if to show off the food in his hand.
Then Zhao Qianfeng saw a wonderful show, a soldier guarding the door rushed up to snatch the food, and then the robbed soldier directly fought with the soldier who grabbed the food, but the few guarding the door also joined in, and the soldier was beaten and ran back to the barracks, and the beaten one was not convinced, and soon shouted a few, and a skirmish began.
In the military camp of the human race on the other side of the Two Realms Mountain, there are sometimes brawls, so there is a group of law enforcement officers in the army, specifically for the brawls in the barracks, once discovered, it will be eliminated in the bud of the incident like a thunderbolt, and the punishment for participating in the brawl is quite severe.
And the treatment method here seems to be different, Zhao Qianfeng clearly saw that the soldiers who were still eating continued to eat as if they were fine, but the soldiers who finished eating ran over excitedly, they did not go to watch, but to participate.
So the scope of the brawl began to expand, Zhao Qianfeng saw that in the affected range, the soldiers who did not finish eating left directly to a safe place to eat, and the soldiers who had finished eating joined the brawl, and the soldiers who were hiding on the side clapped their hands very calmly after eating, and then joined in with a howl.
Then the whole barracks began this, and in the end all the soldiers became participants.
Zhao Qianfeng couldn't understand a little, why didn't the demon soldiers come out to stop it, in fact, as long as there was a law enforcement to stop it at the beginning, it would be able to be suppressed quickly.
This fight is also physical work, fighting, some soldiers look tired, even rolling and crawling out of the fight area, hiding aside to rest, soon more and more such soldiers.
Slowly, the revelry caused by the brawl subsided, and the tired soldiers began to support each other back to the camp to rest, and the whole barracks returned to calm.
Until the end, I still didn't care.
Shaking his head, Zhao Qianfeng began to leave the barracks, continued to move forward in the direction of the road, and after walking for a while, a bright light appeared in front of him, this is the second barracks of the demon clan.
This military camp is relatively quiet, looking at the size of the same as the one seen before, at this time only a few demon soldiers are still active outside the camp tent, roughly calculated, this military camp is estimated to be only a thousand people.
There must be a military camp in front of him, and Zhao Qianfeng quickly touched in the direction of the third military camp.
It didn't take long, and a few more lights faintly appeared in front, this time the range of lights was a bit wide, and Zhao Qianfeng didn't know if it was connected by two military camps, or just one.
So approach more carefully.
Coming to the distance of the third barracks, Zhao Qianfeng observed the surroundings, it was late at night, Zhao Qianfeng found a big tree, and rested in the middle of the tree where it could be hidden.
After eating some dry food and condensing some water to quench his thirst, he slowly cultivated for a while according to the method of absorbing spiritual energy learned by the Bureau, and began to wait for dawn.
