Volume IX Section 41 Foldback
The stone was slammed face down on the ground. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But immediately after, this kid heard a loud "boom", and Herdo didn't know when he finished condensing his soul energy, and he used the "soul wave attack" to smash directly on the chariot.
It was under this blow that finally, at the moment when the chariot was about to rush out of the valley, it "stopped".
The collision between the "Soul Wave Attack" and the chariot caused the latter to be blown off the ground on the spot, and then fell heavily to the ground. This time, this behemoth "beast" was crippled, and the parts scattered everywhere were scattered on the ground like beans.
Fortunately, the stone was far enough away, otherwise, these pieces alone would have smashed a few large bags on this kid's head.
"Hey, hey, Stone, I was running pretty fast. After getting the chariot, Herdo couldn't help but tease as he looked at the stone still lying on the ground.
The "soul wave attack" he used to do before was definitely all he could use at the moment, without any reservations. Otherwise, it would be impossible to destroy this three-foot chariot.
The stone staggered up from the ground, and after swallowing dryly, he was shocked, "Major General, you... Are you okay. ”
Naturally, he understood that Herdo had abandoned himself in the valley before and ran first in order to find a vantage point to perform the "soul wave attack". Therefore, this kid has no intention of blaming.
"What could I do, if it weren't for the injuries, this broken car would have been done in minutes. ”
I believe this stone, after all, Herdo in front of him is a major general of Shi Guo. If such a trick is done in its heyday, it is too much to say.
Arriving at the ruined chariot, Herdo picked up a piece of metal and examined it. "Yo, this 'mountaintop thief' is really rich enough to be willing to make this kind of thing out of 'Thousand Steels'. No wonder it's so difficult. ”
The stone also leaned up with interest. He naturally knows the value of "Thousand Steels". If the weapons of the soldiers in the general army are made of stainless steel, then the weapons in the hands of some captains will be made of "100 steel".
As for the weapons forged by "Thousand Steels", they may only be in the hands of those generals. After all, in Shiguo, this "steel" is directly controlled by the state, and you can sell and transform finished "steel" weapons in the market, but if you want to start your own production, you must first weigh whether your head is hard enough.
"Major General, it seems that we have not gained nothing this time. "Looking at the huge beast cart in front of me, as long as this thing can be pulled back, the transport team must have an extra batch of supplies. If we go back and get the soldiers to use the weapons forged by the 'Thousand Steels', it will be no problem.
However, Herdo didn't seem to agree with the stone, "Pull it back, hehe, don't bother, you can just stuff it into the Yurong stone." ”
After Heldo's reminder, the stone felt that he had gone too far. If you don't need Yurong Stone, why do you need to spend this manpower.
At this time, Herdo casually threw away the parts in his hand and said indifferently: "You don't need to hand in this thing, you can keep it yourself." ”
Stone was stunned, not understanding what Heldo meant.
"Look at what I'm doing, I see that the heavy sword you used before is a little broken, why don't you use these 'Thousand Steels' to reforge it. ”
"However, this will not be done until the front camp is reached. After all, there will be decent weapon smiths there. ”
Stone was overjoyed, but still a little hesitant. Although as long as the two of them don't say anything about these "thousands of steels" in front of them, no one will know. But this is the loot for private use, and if it is investigated from above, it will not cause unnecessary trouble.
As if seeing Shi's concern, Herdo explained without words: "Don't be embarrassed, we have rules in the Shi Army. The exception is for ordinary soldiers, as long as the loot obtained in the soul weaver cannot be kept privately, unless otherwise specified, then it belongs to the recipient. ”
"Huh?" Hearing such good news, but the stone was amused, "Haha, this rule is really humane enough." ”
Hurdo no longer talked nonsense with the stones, but looked in the direction of the "Turning Valley" with extremely vicious eyes. "Hmph, no wonder it's called 'Folding Mountains', it seems that this time we are going to turn back in vain. ”
How could the stone care about Heldo's words, he had already collected the parts all over the ground, and stuffed them into the Yurong stone one by one.
This kid is not worried that his Yurong Stone will not be able to let go. After all, now, although he returned those twenty "state-owned" Yurong stones to Pittman for safekeeping when he left the camp. But he did have the token of the ancestor of the Stone Kingdom, Yu Deyi, not to mention stuffing it into a small "Thousand Steel" chariot, even ten of them were no problem.
Back in the barracks in the rear, Herdo naturally had a dull face and a blank cover. It's a stone, but the spirit is good. Getting such a big bargain is naturally refreshing for people at happy events.
"Major General, you can come back. ”
As soon as Herdo entered his tent, Pittman Ax appeared in front of him for the first time. This guy seems to be extremely worried about Herdo and Stone going out. At this time, seeing the two of them come back, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You go out first. With an order, Pittman paid the handsome account to several generals who came with him.
He came to the stone, "Lord Warrant, Lord Major General, what's the matter?"
Some people are not used to others calling themselves "Lord Quasi", and the stone is a little shy, "It's nothing, it's just..."
"Stone!" Before the boy could speak, Herdo's bull's eyes like brass bells glared straight at him.
How dare the stone talk more, and smiled awkwardly at Pittman: "Hehehe." ”
Pitman was not as reckless as Herdo, and immediately realized that the major general in front of him should be deflated.
"Major General, according to the intelligence from the rear, Lord Cui Mu and Ex will not be able to come to the meeting until ten days later. Looks like we're going to be here a few more days. ”
"What? 10 days!" heard the news, but it didn't almost force Herdo out of his position. Being able to stay here for three days made Herdo a little impatient. If he had waited ten more days, he would not have been suffocated to death.
"Yes. Pitman didn't understand Herdo's thoughts, but he deliberately changed the subject, "Major General, I don't know if anyone has seen the 'Mountaintop Country' today?"
"No, no... Didn't see it. Herdo did not hesitate and said on the spot.
The corners of Shi's mouth twitched, this major general really loves face. Today, the two not only met each other's people, but were even "warmly welcomed" by each other. However, the major general of the family is reluctant to say it, and the stone naturally does not talk much.
"Didn't you see it? That's weird, probably not. Pittman didn't know if he really listened to Herdo's words, or if he did it on purpose, but he thought about it anyway.
At this time, Herdo obviously didn't want to discuss this topic more, so he raised his eyebrows and said very seriously: "If Cui Mu's old man's team really won't arrive until ten days later, it will definitely delay the overall progress of our convoy. ”
After a slight pause, Herdor pondered for a moment and said, "My Lord Pittman, I wonder if we can bypass the 'Foldback Mountains' and try to take other routes to the northern battlefield?"
It is absolutely impossible for Herdo to voluntarily hand over 10% of the supplies for tolls. In addition, the two sides have already fought today, and now this is only one percent of the materials, which obviously will not satisfy the other party.
Therefore, Herdo planned to take a long journey, and it would take ten days for the old man Cui Mu to arrive. It's better to take the first step, and spend ten days and half a month, and you may be able to get out of this "fold mountain range".
Even if you finally reach the front line for a few days at night, there is no way to do it. Fortunately, the military rations and materials of the transport team did not cause any losses, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation in disguise
But unfortunately, Pittman did shake his head, and he said cautiously: "If you want to pass through the 'Folding Mountains', taking the 'Folding Valley' is the quickest way. ”
"As for the other routes, they are obviously not practical in the current situation of our convoy. ”
"What does it mean to be unrealistic?" Feeling that what Pittman said was wrong, Herdo's face was straight, "What is passable is reality, and what can deliver grain, grass, and materials to the front line on time is called reality." ”
"Don't scruple about it, as long as there is a way to go, I, Herdo, will be able to carve out a road for our brethren in the convoy. ”
As soon as these words came out, Pittman looked a little embarrassed, "Major General, there are indeed other ways to bypass the 'Folding Mountain Range'. ”
"However, it is necessary to go southwest along the mountain range for about a thousand miles, and then climb more than 20 mountains in a row along the mountain road. In this way, you will be able to pass through this 'fold mountain'. ”
"But if you do that, not only will the convoy be much longer. By then, you'll find yourself in a barren area far from the northern front. ”
"Huh?" Heldo was dumbfounded at this time, daring to love this Pitman said a long circle, and finally he had to go through the "Folded Valley".
Seeing that Herdo was about to become angry, the stone took the initiative to speak, "Master Pittman, can you tell me about the origin of this 'hilltop country'?"
In the opinion of the stone, a country that lives in the mountains, this will definitely not appear all at once. Since they didn't have the habit of "robbing houses and houses" before, they naturally did it for some reason.
And as long as you understand the cause of the matter, there is a way to solve it. Otherwise, even if the convoy led by Herdo paid the "toll" this time, or forced their way through the valley. But the war in Shiguo will not stop every day, and this transport team will continue to transport grain and grass materials to the front line.
And for a long time, the "Mountaintop Country" is like a bottomless pit, becoming a cancer in the Stone Country.
