In late autumn, the Absera Savannah, although it looks full of rain and looks vibrant, is not much more difficult to survive here. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Everything has a boundary, and once it is exceeded, what was originally considered good will become a disaster. Historically, both natural and man-made disasters have been in line with this law, and when it comes to places like the Absela grasslands, where the living environment is harsh, it is clear that there is not much difference between excessive drought and continuous heavy rains in terms of causing trouble.

The horse's hooves splashed, and the muddy water flew up all over its belly and the shoes and boots of its riders, and the iron stirrups had already formed a thick layer of rust from the damp area for several days, turning a dark red surface mixed with the charred oxide layer that had burned in the furnace, revealing a deep color.

The saddle and the bridles are always smelling of the sour smell of undried clothes due to the small cracks caused by long-term use, and when you get up in the morning, you can always drive out a lot of blood-sucking insects from the cracks in the four corners, these annoying insects always appear with the rainy season, and if you don't drive them in time, they will make the horses irritable and irritable, and they don't listen to orders.

The mountains and plains of Avenella have bred tall horses, and although they are far less durable than Absera's ponies, they are far superior in sprinting short distances and capable of carrying weights. After escaping from the Red-billed Finch Clan's camp in the darkness of the night, the three of them were able to quickly pull away for a long distance before moving slowly at their normal cruising speed.

The gloomy rain clouds did not converge in the slightest at night, and the weather that obscured the moonlight and starlight made it difficult for even the natives to discern the direction, but it was not much of a problem for our sage, who was like being able to see in the dark, and was always able to lead the Luoan maidens who were behind him just right, to avoid the puddles and debris, so that even if they hurried all night, they would not slow down.

This has given them a lot of advantages, even if they set off a lot slower than the mercenaries of Inyaji and Barrett, the distance now has added considerable difficulty to the red-billed finch clan that may come to pursue, greatly improving the living space of the three of them and the chances of escaping from here.

Khaled, who had cooperated with Henry in the attack to create an opportunity for the people to flee, withdrew directly after several attacks, and the noble young man of the Aries clan initially joined the team as a negotiator between the steppe and the steppe people, but after the two sides clashed and it was determined that the other party was just a small clan with no name, their calculation was obviously no longer possible.

In the culture of the steppe people, it is impossible for the large clan with the advantage to communicate peacefully with the small clan, and Khaled, who comes from a mid-level clan such as the Aries clan, has shown disdain for the other party from the beginning of the battle, and in the same way, as a lowly and lowly clan, it is likely that he has not participated in any joint sacrifices or conferences at all, and the red-billed finch will not take care of the face of a clan that has never heard of it.

Under such a premise, Khalid naturally became a dispensable presence in the team, he had always wanted to find opportunities to express himself, coupled with the revenge of the loss of manpower and wanted to retaliate against the other party, when Henry proposed to him to attack the camp of the Red-billed Finch Clan if he saw a fire, he could not accept it.

As for covering the mercenaries to leave, helping them with their mission?

Sorry, they haven't developed this level of intimacy in such a short period of time.

It's just a matter of taking what they need and using each other - Khalid wants revenge, and Henry takes revenge on him. And he used it as an opportunity for his mercenaries and merchants to escape, which is why he did not explain why the mercenaries attacked with Khalid and his steppe warriors, firstly, because the greater number would cause the Red-billed Finch clan to be vigilant too soon, and secondly, they would not be able to trust each other in such a way. So use Khaled's revenge to create an opportunity, and then inform the mercenaries and merchants stationed in the camp to travel lightly and evacuate immediately.

How many people actually fled is a question that our Sage does not know the answer to.

The part of the material that had been left in the camp was more or less a distraction from some of the Red-billed Finch Clan, and with the foolishness and short-sightedness of the Mustafa chief, he might well have focused on enjoying the treasures that were readily available to him, and was complacent about the fact that he had defeated the merchants of the South and caused them to flee into the wilderness, and proclaimed his glory without ceasing. As for sending pursuers at his behalf, if he was really willing to listen to the obviously better commander of the red-billed finch, they should have completed the deal smoothly by this time, with no bloodshed on both sides and the establishment of initial trade relations, and then they would be able to rely on the supplies provided by the south to make the red-billed finch grow.

Everyone was happy with the happy ending, but it was all ruined because of one person's stupidity - to get back to the original place, although those supplies could buy some time for everyone to escape and disperse the red-billed finch's manpower, but without them, it would not be much less difficult to survive in this boundless grassland with only light supplies and equipment.

Do your best, know the destiny of heaven. That's all the members of the original team scattered around can do now.

The horse's hooves continued to repeat the process of rising and falling, and after a considerable distance, the light rain that had begun last night finally stopped.

Stop-and-go, despite the rain and the cover of the night, sleeping peacefully near the sphere of influence of the steppe people is obviously an option that will make you lose your head. So last night it was just a short break of an hour or two, and the three of them were on the road again.

This kind of relatively high-intensity field march, our mila is quite adapted, although she will feel tired, but at least she will not fall down. Not to mention Henry. However, as a slave of the Red-billed Finch clan, she was not able to get enough food on weekdays, and appeared to be quite malnourished, and even her height was much shorter than Mira, but Her Royal Highness of the Loan people looked exhausted after a night of running on horseback. After slowing down a little, she actually fell asleep on the back of the war horse with Mira in her arms.

"Lena, Lena. Worried that the other party was clinging to the cold armor on her body, and that she would catch a cold if it continued in the rain last night, the Luoan girl whispered to this girl of the same clan, Her Royal Highness's full name is Catherine V. Ilvia III, inheriting the name of the female warrior king who was very famous in the history of Luoan in the past, and Mira nicknamed her Lina according to the custom of the Luoan people.

"Well......" Lina, who had become more or less familiar with each other after a night, stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes, she still looked quite tired, and due to lack of nutrition, her hair and skin were very dull and dull, and her thin body made it hard to believe that this was a princess.

"Are you alright?" asked Mira, worried that the other party would have a fever from the rain and lack of rest, so she turned around and reached out and put the back of her hand on her forehead, both horses slowed down, Henry in front of her seemed to scan the neighborhood for a suitable camping spot, the dark clouds in the sky began to disperse, the gray sunlight was not bright and the earth was sprinkled on the earth, the endless grassland and the sky were connected in a line, and the breeze with moisture was blowing, and the yellow and green weeds swayed like waves.

"It's okay, I'm just tired......" Mira grabbed the reins, her bare palms wet from the rain and cold skin against Lena's forehead made her sober a little, and Her Royal Highness continued to speak in Roan, as she hadn't spoken it for many years, and she spoke with the same stammering as Mira, but it was the only way for the two to communicate.

"Let's camp up and rest on the front side. Henry rolled over and pulled the reins and then turned back to them and said, the sage's Roan language sounded even more standard than the two real Loan girls combined, and Mira had many times wondered if there was a language in the world that he didn't speak—he pointed to a slightly higher terrain in front of him, next to a large tree that had been scorched and dead by the thunder and lightning of the rainy season, it was not an ideal camping spot, but there was nothing better than it could be seen from a glance around.

Worse or worse, sometimes life leaves you with only two options.

"At least it's not raining now, so I don't have to worry about getting hit. Mira turned over and dismounted first, and then stretched out her hand to help Lena, who was not very flexible, and slowly slid down, Her Royal Highness the princess held the saddle tightly and then stood on the dirt ground for a while with the help of the other party, she had no horseback riding experience for the first time, she sat for nearly ten hours for the first time, or ran on the field, and as soon as she got off the ground, she felt a sore feeling at the root of her thighs, like cramps, and her feet were weak for a while, and she fell directly towards Mira.

"Hey!" the ponytailed girl of Luo An helped each other, because of the armor she was wearing, Mira was worried that Lena would hit the breastplate and hurt her head, she hurriedly helped Her Royal Highness the princess to sit down on the still wet ground, the rain cloak on the two of them was used as a moisture cushion, and then Mila began to massage her legs to relieve fatigue and pain.

"Thank you......," Lena said, and Henry on the side took the supplies from the two horses, and their behavior of carrying some supplies on their own without relying too much on the caravan became a lifesaver, although it could not be compared with the luxurious tents over there, but the temporary shelter made of simple tarpaulin and hemp rope could still provide a lot of help.

It's just that there is not much firewood and food left in the waterproof bag, and it is very difficult to find suitable fuel as soon as the heavy rain has stopped, and the surrounding area is basically full of weeds.

Thankfully, it's daytime, and the sun is finally out, so the temperature hasn't dropped too much. The sage had taken care of the basics of the camp, and while the girl of Luoan began to remove his breastplate for ease of movement, he picked a long branch from the dead tree that had not completely lost its moisture, broke it with his bare hands, took out the knife he carried with him, scraped off the outer skin and the excess branches, and sharpened the tip three times by two.

"......" Mira, who had unfastened the shoulder strap of her cuirass, glanced at her empty scabbard as she removed her belt, and fell into a brief silence, and Lina next to her noticed this, and her expression became somewhat gloomy. Henry looked at the two of them, but he didn't say anything, there were hurdles that he needed to cross, and he had already told the ponytailed Luoan maiden before that what she could give her people was the courage to move forward.

Henry was sure that she would not fall into a sentimental mood even herself, for this wonderful girl had never disappointed him. The sage turned: "You should be able to find something in the nearby puddle, you guys are here to rest now, and I will be back soon." He said this, and then took the freshly baked wooden fork and walked towards the lower ground.

"It's okay, everything will definitely get better. After putting the armor aside, Mira smiled at Lena and said this, and then she walked to the warhorse, took a lot of supplies from the horse, including fresh water, and after stacking the firewood in advance, poured some water and used cotton cloth to help Lena scrub her dirty face.

This is not a luxury and waste, in the case of scarcity of supplies and on the run, the last thing they need is someone to fall ill, and dirty clothes and body surfaces often mean the arrival of disease, Mira carefully washed the other party's body and shed tattered animal skin clothes, and Lena also quietly accepted the warmth, and finally after changing into Mira's own spare clothes, the original dirty slave princess Her Royal Highness has long been gone.

"It's a bit big...... This. Lena said to her with a rather reluctant smile, and Mira nodded, feeling the tip of her nose sour for some reason.

"Let's make some preparations together! There is not too much dry food and salted meat left, and no matter what the teacher brings back, cooking soup is the least wasteful way to do it. Trying to change the subject, the girl with a ponytail turned around and took the small iron pot from the horse's back, and looked at the other party's thin princess in a daze, biting her lip, the sad look on her face and the "saved" touch, worry, inferiority complex and a series of emotions mixed together, and finally turned into a smile that was still a little stiff for the time being, but from the bottom of her heart.

"Hmm!" (To be continued.) )
