Chapter 182: Crossing the River
The Tanta Empire and the Duchy of Krag were bordered by a tributary of the Tiber River that flowed through it, and it was a naturally formed border.
Because it is now the spring flood season, the river flow is huge, especially the place they are about to reach, and it is a dangerous place known as the "Chong Breaking Waterfall". No one would choose to cross the border from here at this time, but Xia Feng made such a decision unexpectedly, just because in the direction they traveled, it was the shortest distance in a straight line.
Such a dangerous thing is completely inconsistent with his cautious character.
"Now that we're all here, and Tanta's crisis is solved, aren't we in a hurry at this time?"
"Your Highness, it's too dangerous to cross the river from there!" Zachary also tried to find out what was at stake. "We went a little further downstream to find the ferry and it didn't take a lot of time. โ
The sound of a huge stream of water came from ahead, and Xia Feng looked at the turbulent river that appeared in front of him, his expression was rare and serious.
"Zachary, you lead the team to escort Uncle Charles and them downstream, Greck, send your men with them, and no one will be left behind. Xia Feng ordered.
Greck's intuition was not quite right, and while agreeing with Zachary, his brows were already furrowed deeply, and sure enough, Xia Feng's next words made several people around him notice the abnormality.
"Greek, Kelent, and Moya, you three follow me," Xia Feng was already standing by the river as he spoke, and the loud sound of water almost drowned out his words, but Zachary heard it clearly, and his face turned white in an instant.
"Your Highness!" Zachary was shocked.
Xia Feng jumped off the horse and carefully hugged Ying Yu down: "Take our horses away, and immediately carry out the order." โ
It didn't matter if it was dangerous or not, he just wanted to get out of the country as soon as possible.
Xia Feng's tone was unprecedentedly harsh, so that Zachary didn't dare to argue anymore, but this couldn't suppress the panic in his heart at all, their duty was to protect him, how could they be separated?
Grek looked at Ying Yu, who was sleeping in Xia Feng's arms, and vaguely realized what the problem wasโKelent was the only magician among the dozen or so Phantom Star team members present, and Mo Ya was the team doctor in Xia Feng's guards.
For Zachary, Xia Feng can give strong orders without much explanation, but he must have a reasonable explanation for Charles, and he also needs him to pacify the separated army.
Xia Feng handed Ying Yu over to Greck to take care of, and Charles stood by the rushing river and talked, the turbulent river drowned out the voices of the two, everyone only saw Charles nodding his head, and when the two seemed to have reached a consensus, Kalent and Moya also happened to be ordered to come to Xia Feng's side.
Xia Feng handed over the aftermath to Charles, and took Greck and the others to start crossing the river.
Under the amazed gaze of everyone, the turbulent and rushing river froze into ice the moment several people stepped on it, and an ice road with a diameter of about half a meter extended to the opposite bank with their footsteps, and the rolled water waves maintained a twisted posture and rolled into the sky, and the splashed water droplets were frozen into ice, and fell into the river that was still flowing next to them.
Greck finally knew why Xia Feng only took these few people, this ice road could only maintain this area under their feet, and the last Karente was almost half a foot in the water, his heels had just been raised, and the ice behind him had been swallowed and melted by the water.
Greck and Kirent glanced at each other, already understanding what was going on in each other's minds. This is the current Xia Feng Yanhua, he can't cross the river with a large army of more than a hundred people, because the area of the ice under his feet is the limit of his magic ability.
But even so, the two of them still believed in Xia Feng unconditionally, unlike Mo Ya, who was walking in the middle, who was already shocked and frightened and sweating.
Grek looked at Ying Yu who was holding her in his arms and did not react, the white healing magic around her had never dissipated, and the wounds on her body did not seem to have healed, this was definitely not the state that Xia Feng wanted, if he couldn't heal Ying Yu with his current ability, he would definitely let Moya take over as soon as possible, but why was he indifferent now?
The more Grek thought about it, the more frightened he became, looking at Xia Feng, who was walking in front of him and maintaining the magic effect, he opened his mouth but didn't dare to ask for a voice after all. Damn, he should have noticed that the person who was always smiling and not shocked by honor and disgrace had unconsciously added a little more depression - Greck's hands holding Ying Yu unconsciously increased a little bit of strength.
Naturally, Kalent also smelled something unusual, but she didn't know much about Yingyu's situation, and simply thought that Xia Feng had some plan to implement. In order to ease the overly tense atmosphere at the moment, he directly stretched his neck and shouted at Xia Feng: "Your Highness, what are we going to do?"
"Don't make noise!" Moya yelled in horror, which startled Kyente, "Don't make noise!"
Kalent tilted her head, looked at Mo Ya's pale face and rolled her eyes helplessly, coward!
"It's here!"
Xia Feng looked at the river bank not far away, and there were no superfluous words, which was very different from his usual bright personality, on the one hand, it had taken him too much energy to maintain this magic, and he really didn't have the strength to say so much;
The four of them went ashore one after another, and the estuary in front of them returned to a surging state, like a magical beast blocking the middle of the road, separating them from the main army. Mo Ya looked up at the opposite bank, the shadow of the large army had become blurred, he waved vigorously at his companions opposite, and turned to chase Xia Feng and the others who had already walked away.
"Let's go," Charles said, turning his horse's head, "hurry to the ferry port downstream, and meet His Highness as soon as possible." โ
The horse's hooves paused and the sound rolled into the distance.
Zachary rode his horse and followed Charles, looking at the four people who had disappeared on the other side, with a resolute face with unconcealed worry, believing in His Highness, believing in Charles, believing in those bodyguards, he could only comfort himself silently like this, commanding the large army, and the horse was the fastest.
Xia Feng and the others did not go far, but quickly found a sheltered and hidden place nearby and settled Mu Li.
"Mo Ya, check Dongfang's body immediately, quickly!" Xia Feng forced his throat and urged eagerly, and the calm that he had been trying to maintain seemed to have been removed in an instant.
Mo Ya didn't dare to delay after being startled, rushed to Mu Li, who was unconscious, and half-knelt down.
Xia Feng panted slightly as he watched Mo Ya start to move, the light in his eyes was always sharp, and the fierce emotions in his chest could not be suppressed.
"Your Highness, what the hell is this......" Greck's words were stopped by Xia Feng raising his hand.
Summer Wind nodded at Karen and pulled Greek away.
"You tell Ivey right away, I don't care where he is, I'm going to see him in Amber Town in three days. Xia Feng's voice did not carry a trace of anger, but that natural spirit made people dare not have the slightest disobedience.
"Yes!" Grek looked at Xia Feng's pale face, and stopped talking.
It's Ivey again, it's such a serious situation again!
"Drop by and ask Heath to come here and join us. While Xia Feng said this, his eyes never left Mu Li's direction.
"Miss, she ......"
"She's fine, you go quickly. Xia Feng directly interrupted Greck's concern.
"Yes!" Grek didn't dare to delay any longer and hurried away.
As for the safety of Xia Feng and the others, Grek is not particularly worried, he has already left the territory of the Tanta Empire, and those people must restrain and re-plan whatever they want to do; And the strength of those who can come over is definitely not something that a patrol team can handle, so there should be very few patrols in this place this season, and even if they really meet, the means of the summer wind and the ability of Kalent are enough to deal with it.
When Xia Feng turned around and came back, Moya rushed over in a panic.
"Your Highness, it's hurtful food...... It's a wounded eater!" Moya's voice trembled weakly.
"I know. Xia Feng couldn't hide his tiredness and returned to Mu Li's side, "It's my negligence, how can it be so simple to fight with a killer with martial arts...... I was negligent......"
"What do you mean...... That woman was playing a trick just now?" Karet's eyes widened in annoyance.
Xia Feng ignored Kylent, fighting against me and the enemy, who cares what tricks you use, they are not the same here and try their best! It's just that this time he was really too careless, and he naively thought that Mu Li was just a skin injury.
"What the hell did you just say that was?" Kylent turned to Moya again.
Moya hurriedly explained: "Wounded ogres, is a kind of magic curse that can be carried around, very special, they are generated by dark magic, possess entities, will erode wounds, prevent wounds from healing, wounded ogres have a long incubation period, the most terrifying thing is that this kind of magic can be from the inside of the body, a living person 'gnaw' light......"
"Why do you say like a living thing?" said Kylent, looking puzzled.
Moya shook his head, his voice trembling more and more: "It does look like a living thing, but this is also the special thing about this curse magic, the caster can control it for a long time, and even transfer it to someone else. โ
Kylent swallowed and spat: "What else can you do like this......? It's too ...... Perverted?"
Mo Ya nodded with difficulty: "The wounded eater relies on magic to exist, and the adult uses freezing magic to freeze the wound, although there was no problem at the time, but the magic contained in it is like providing 'food' to the wounded eater, accelerating its activity, and even the incubation period ......"
Kalent nervously looked at Xia Feng, who was picking up Mu Li and approaching her arms.
"Your Highness?"
"The chat is over, and now they're all coming over to help. โ
