Chapter 24: In the Forest
In the middle of the forest, a group of monsters are camping. This group of monsters can be regarded as numerous in terms of number and type. There were even more than a dozen Salts among them, speaking strange languages, directing the monsters to camp in the camp. Judging by the skillful movements of the monsters and the fact that they only buried their heads in labor and did not make any dissatisfied sounds, these monsters were well-trained.
Wood by the Minotaur was cut down to the ground with a sharp battle axe. One by one, the werewolves stepped forward and quickly cut the branches of the tall trees that fell to the ground and cut them into sharp wooden thorns. It was then secured with ropes, and a defensive wall was erected around the camp.
A large number of goblins have set up tents one by one, and the layout is rigorous and beautiful. The layout suggests that this was the way the Sartic camp was built, and the tents were also made of linen, but covered with light black, grass green, and grayish-yellow stripes.
Such tents are difficult to spot, whether viewed from a distance or from the air. The Salts weren't that smart, and the Salts didn't have the ability to control monsters, a strange legion of unknown forces.
"Is this the result of your investigation?" said the girl, as she came out of the tent, tied her golden hair with a long rope in her hand, and put it on her head, and asked her subordinates, who had gone out to investigate early in the morning, "how far away are they?"
"The camp is about two kilometers away. Putting down the kettle in his hand and wiping the stain on his chin, the attendant who was the scout replied, "It is the location of a valley mouth, and there are high mountains on both sides. If you want to get through there, you have to go through the place controlled by that legion. ”
"They arrived here overnight. The girl picked up the armor stacked beside the tent, began to put it on, and said, "It seems that the people of Elamite also know the news of the defeat of Carthage. And this legion seems to be to prevent a rout from escaping into the interior of Elam, harming the target they are trying to protect. ”
"Judging by the current intelligence, it is like this. The scout nodded and said, "But I'm curious what kind of force would build such a disciplined monster army." As far as I know, the Salts of Elamite would not have such a person. ”
"You just said that one of those monsters is Salt?" the girl looked down and thought for a moment and asked, "Are you sure those monsters are not humanoid, they are wearing makeup?"
"I'm sure. The scout nodded and said, "I've been dealing with the Salts for a long time, and I can tell at a glance what they look like. ”
"Well, it's a lot less of a problem. The girl reflexively went into the tent, took out a map from her travel bag, called another attendant, pointed to a place on the map, and said: "Here we are, if we are going to cross Elam, to the south where we are still resisting, then ahead is the place we must pass."
Although now we don't know, what kind of force the other party is. But since there is Salt here, then at least we can communicate a little, and this task will be handed over to you Serpo. ”
"We will live up to your expectations. Scout Serpo nodded firmly.
Because it is not excluded that the other party is Caesar's person. The girl continued, "We will observe from a short distance, and if the other party is Caesar or a man, or a subordinate of some powerful monster, you will raise your right hand. Trist and I will find a way to sneak past the camp.
We'll spend a day in this little canyon. If you get rid of the pursuers, come here and meet us. Remember, we were only there for one day and if you didn't catch up, we would leave. ”
"I understand. Knowing that this was a very risky task, Serpo still did not change his mind and said: "This task is only I can do, and I am sure that I can get out safely in the event of a situation." ”
"Hehe, you're the best at these things, I really don't know how you got into the Knight Academy. Trist, who had been listening, patted Serpo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I think the Scout team of the Legion is where you can play." ”
"If I did make it to the scouts, didn't you have to be caught and killed?" Serpo said with a laugh and a hammer on Trist.
"Ahem...... the girl coughed a few times, and her serious face was slightly red and said, "You guys, it's better not to talk about those things here." Trist, an upright knight is not going to make and steal ...... Cheating...... Something like that!"
"I'm sorry. Trist touched his nose and apologized, "It was an accident, and Serpo, you guy! Don't mention these things in front of the princess!"
"I'll pay attention next time. It suddenly remembered that this was not their knight's quarters, and the princess was still scratching her head next to Serpo and said.
"Is breakfast ready? Charlie is almost up. The girl looked at the embarrassed two and changed the topic and said.
"Ahhh
"Is it already morning?" Hearing the commotion outside the tent, Charlie, who woke up, came out of the tent and looked at Trist, who was screaming, and said to the charred rabbit in his hand, "Do you want to eat that charred rabbit in the morning?"
"Sorry to wake you up. Trist and Celt knelt on the ground and apologized to Charlie.
"It doesn't matter. Charlie shook his head and said, "This is no longer the royal capital, and there is no need to apologize for these little things." ”
Charlie, who had no experience of traveling in the forest, looked a little tired and haggard. Although he also exercised in the royal capital, it was obvious that the intensity of the prince's training did not allow him to have the physical strength to walk more than 20 kilometers in the forest in a day. He was only twelve years old, and after nearly several days of traveling, he was already a little tired.
"After breakfast, you're going to take a break. The girl saw her brother and said, "We will leave here tonight." ”
"I'm going to collect some wild fruits. Serpo looked at the rabbit that had been half scorched, sighed and said to Trist: "If you cut off the burnt flesh of this rabbit on the skin, it should still be edible." ”
"So be it. Reluctantly, Trist took out his dagger, began to peel the charred meat on the rabbit, and said to Charlie: "Your Majesty, please wait a while, I will cut the meat and send it to your tent." ”
"Hmm. Charlie nodded, and a smile appeared on his somewhat pale face and said, "I'll go to sleep......" Before Charlie could finish his words, he fell to the ground. Seeing this, the girl hurriedly rushed over and caught her brother before he landed.
"What's wrong with His Majesty. Trist threw away the stomach in his hand and hurriedly ran over and asked.
"I had a fever. The girl tried Charlie's forehead and said.
"Because I've been so tired lately. Trist said, "Maybe we're in a hurry, or maybe we're here and staying a little longer?"
"The plan remains the same. The girl hugged Charlie tightly to the tent and said, "Wait a minute, let Serpo find some herbs and give Charlie to drink." We don't have much time to delay here. ”
Trist looked at the girl a little helplessly, having followed the girl for so many years, Trist understood the surname of the princess in front of him. She is very strict with anyone, and she is already very tolerant of her younger brother. Even so, she was still a bit too harsh in the eyes of others.
At this time, the camp that had already been built. Refra looked at the map in his hand, guessing where the enemy would appear, and at the same time thinking about how to use the maximum strength of the legion in his hand to hold the small valley mouth.
"I'm back. Glock, covered in branches and like a moving bush, walked into Refora's tent and said, "I lost that fellow." He's also a good anti-stalker, and I can only roughly know that they're stationed two kilometers away, and there shouldn't be too many of them. ”
"I don't need to worry about that for now. After listening to Glock's words, Refra said, "Now, we need to build some defenses here, and you can leave the work of guarding to the werewolves, and I want you to check the nearby water sources and easy places to station." ”
"Okay, I'll do it right away. Glock nodded and stepped out of the tent.
