Chapter 22 The Incident of Earth Street
The location of the Misty Forest and this swamp to the south of the forest is not very far south of the vast territory of the northern country, but it is not particularly far from the Hengduan Mountains. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
If it goes well, the normal march speed can reach the Hengduan Mountains in five days, and once in the mountains, it is considered to be out of the territory of the northern country. The Hengduan Mountains are dotted with war zones established by the Wind and Thunder Empire.
Of course, this refers to when everything goes well.
According to Caesar's idea, the journey from the swamp to the Hengduan Mountains will definitely be blocked by battle mages. The team of the Dragon Awakener and the potential Dragon Awakener is listed as a target on the hunt list by the Northland. What's more, the mastiff's troops that were originally responsible for chasing and killing are all wiped out, and the high-level leaders of the northern country will definitely react and continue to send people to investigate and hunt down.
To put it simply, it is normal to be hunted down, but it is unlikely that you will have a smooth journey.
But what Caesar didn't expect was that the whole team really didn't receive any attacks along the way! This was not because the battle mages didn't send anyone to chase them, in fact, Caesar sensed possible dangers several times along the way, but Elaine was really a wonderful woman, completely beyond Caesar's expectations.
Under Elaine's leadership, the team's path was erratic, sometimes zigzag and serpentine, sometimes straight line, sometimes back and forth, and even once Elaine ordered the team to stop in place and hide in a small forest that was logically impossible to hide, hiding for a whole day, successfully avoiding the search of the battle mage troops.
"You're pretty good at marching. One night, Caesar found Elaine while the procession had stopped for repairs.
"Nothing, my husband taught me some. Elaine smiled slightly, "I'm also good at escaping in a roundabout way, and when it comes to the frontal battlefield, I don't understand." ā
"Frontal battlefield ......" Caesar's eyes flashed slightly, and he said solemnly, "the plain of despair?"
According to what Caesar has learned these days, the core and fiercest battle situation is now concentrated on the vast plain of despair in front of the imperial capital, and the armies of the north and south are pouring against each other in the field every day.
Elaine sighed and said, "The Plains of Despair is indeed the core of the current war, but the place we are going to now is the 'Surha War Zone' jointly managed by the Forest Clan and our Earth Street, you have no opinion." ā
Caesar thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Elaine, as the ruler of Earth Street, is understandable to return to the place under her control first, Caesar can understand.
As for Caesar's own side, he has recently been trying to guide the third piercing intent, and this process is estimated to take some time.
So Caesar was not in a hurry to go to the Plains of Despair.
"However, after going to the Surha War Zone to adjust, I will go to the Plains of Despair as soon as possible. Caesar made his own request, and his tone was very firm.
Elaine agreed very simply: "Of course, when the time comes, I will arrange for the most elite Earth Street troops to accompany you, and I myself should be with you." ā
After talking about his plans for the future, Caesar didn't plan to stay longer, and got up and walked in the direction of the dragon awakener's team.
Nothing else, mainly to hide from Cassadine.
These days, Caesar always feels that Cassadine wants to talk to him alone, but the other party's eyes are vigilant, confused, and scrutinizing...... A series of complex emotions made Caesar reluctant to talk more about this man.
Caesar spends his days with the Dragon Awakeners, except for the occasional brief conversation with Elaine alone, and then goes to talk to Barbara.
Barbara, as a member of the Bauhinia Army, is targeted by Caesar. Caesar did not give up his intention to get more information about himself from Barbara's mouth, but every time Barbara faced Caesar's question, she remained silent, and only looked at Caesar with a look that Caesar did not understand.
Caesar couldn't do much about it.
If you want to say who Caesar is closer to these days, it is Long Qiqi in the team of the Dragon Awakeners, as well as Vasily and Li.
In the eyes of Long Qiqi, Caesar is mysterious and powerful, and unlike Elaine, Cassadine, and Barbara, they don't know that Caesar is Caesar.
And when Caesar was with them, he spent more time asking about the dragon's awakening powers.
Long Qiqi is not a dragon awakener, but only a dragon awakener with dragon blood, and it is just that he may succeed in the future. And Vasily and Li, on the other hand, are both dragon awakeners.
ā...... The Dragon Awakener is actually quite recognizable. On this day, Caesar asked the question of how to identify the dragon awakener, and Vasily said quite proudly, "After truly awakening the dragon awakening ability, some magical changes will occur in the body, and most importantly, a dragon-shaped birthmark-like thing will appear in a certain part of the body, which I call a dragon-shaped fetus." ā
"Dragon-shaped fetus?" Caesar frowned, "I've never heard that. ā
"Of course you haven't heard of it!" Vasily smiled, "This is a pattern I've discovered, and it's been verified by many people in the team, although it's not a hundred percent chance, but it feels like it's more than eighty percent at the moment." Hey, Leigh, where is the dragon-shaped tire on you, let me see. ā
"Get out. Rei replied coldly unceremoniously.
Vasily said indifferently: "Don't be angry, if your birthmark grows on some women's private parts, let Long Qiqi show it for me." ā
"I don't have a birthmark. Leigh said.
"I don't believe it. Vasily rolled his eyes.
Vasily and Liz are very strange, before the appearance of Caesar, a powerful figure, they were completely invisible in the whole team, very focused on self-preservation, without the appearance of a strong enough leader, they are definitely the kind of people who have made up their minds not to take the lead and never lead the team.
It stands to reason that this kind of person is very shrewd and very forbearing, and will not reveal too much emotion.
In fact, when the two of them are to most people, they are indeed such cold temperaments.
But once Vasily and Lily got together, they seemed to look at each other very unpleasantly, and they were about to quarrel at every turn, and they were red-faced.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again over the birthmark, Long Qiqi hurriedly came out and changed the topic and said, "Okay, okay, Sister Li said that there is no birthmark, Uncle Vasily, don't ask." Well, why are you asking so much about the Dragon Awakener?"
Caesar smiled and said, "It's just curious." ā
Long Qiqi pursed her lips with a look of disbelief, but along the way, she was also familiar with the character of this young man with a mysterious background, so she didn't ask much.
In fact, there was a reason why Caesar asked so much about the Dragon Awakener.
The first is because Caesar and Long Qiqi got along with each other, and they felt more and more that their bodies were abnormally strong, and it is said that the body of the Dragon Awakener is generally stronger than that of ordinary wind and thunder mages.
The second reason is that with Caesar's cultivation these days, some memory fragments are returning little by little, and he vaguely remembers that he once suspected that he was a dragon awakener.
"I don't have a dragon-shaped tire, though. Caesar thought to himself.
According to Vasily, he is not a dragon awakener. And in the past few days, Caesar has tested Elaine sideways, and it seems that he was indeed not a dragon awakener.
So here's the problem.
Caesar silently mobilized the two piercing intentions in his body, and a part of the third piercing intent that was about to be fully channeled, and fused together into an incomplete invisible javelin.
The head of the spear that helped Caesar to torture Barbara and the mastiff a few days ago was wrapped around the phantom of a thunderous dragon, which was not clear, but rather vague, and came and went.
"What is this dragon phantom if I am not a dragon awakener?" Caesar thought to himself, "am I really a wind and thunder mage, as Elaine said, as I once thought I was......
Six days after setting off from the swamp, the team officially entered the Hengduan Mountains.
It was an extra day compared to the fastest and most ideal five days, but it was already remarkable for the speed of the team as they constantly dodged the pursuit of the Battle Mages.
After entering the mountains, most people breathed a sigh of relief, and Caesar saw several young dragon awakeners kneeling and kissing the ground, their eyes red, and they were glad that they had survived this time.
In fact, strictly speaking, the Hengduan Mountains are not the territory of the empire, but a gray area between the north and the south, and no one has absolute control over it.
Caesar had a map of the area that Elaine had shown him, and then he came up with a route on his own.
From here, you'll be able to reach a large defensive Imperial theater of war, or rather, a level and outpost built on the terrain, in less than three hours.
If you enter that war zone and take a strategic airship, you will be able to reach the Surha war zone in half a day!
In Caesar's opinion, he basically didn't need to be ready to deal with possible battle mages in the future, and he could start thinking about what would happen after returning to the south.
Surprisingly, however, the team, which had not been thwarted by any battle mages along the way, was thwarted when it reached the outpost.
"What do you mean?" Elaine's face was unusually ugly, standing in front of the tall outer wall and closed gate of the war zone, she looked coldly at the defending generals on the high wall, and asked, "What do you mean by not letting us in?"
That's what it means literally. ā
The generals of the garrison looked quite young, in their early thirties, and already wore the rank of Imperial Sergeant on their shoulders.
The fourteenth grade is eligible to leave the soldier category and become a non-commissioned officer.
And the sergeant, especially refers to those who can already break through to the fifteenth level to become a major, but for some reason, want to cultivate at the fourteenth level for a longer period of time.
The young sergeant smiled lightly and said, "You keep saying that you are your own people, but why haven't I received any notice of the transfer of the army?"
Elaine didn't speak this time, she is the person in charge of Earth Street, and this operation was carried out completely secretly, and it is not convenient to report her identity directly here.
So Elaine turned to look at Cassadine.
Cassadine nodded, took two steps forward, and reported his identity and said, "I'm Imperial Major Cassadine." Sergeant, please state your name!"
The sergeant squinted at Cassadine for a while, returned a military salute, but did not return his name, but asked, "Major Cassadine, what are the identities of these people around you?"
Cassadine sighed and said, "You can, you dare to talk to me like this when you see my identity." Fortunately, this is Master Cole of Earth Street, who is secretly dispatching with me this time to meet my fellow Empire. That's all right. ā
To be honest, Cassadine is also a little helpless, he is a free man in the military department, and there are advantages to being unaffiliated and unaffiliated, but there are also disadvantages - for example, now, he has reported his identity, but the sergeant does not back down at all, precisely because the other party knows that Cassadine has no backing at all, and his waist is not strong enough.
"Hell, I, Cassadine, actually have to move out of a big name on Earth Street to support the scene, what a ******!" Cassadine was annoyed.
He didn't report Elaine's identity, only Cole, and I guess there was no problem.
However, what happened next was completely beyond the expectations of Cassadine, Cole, and Elaine.
I saw that the sergeant's face changed when he heard "Cole" and "Earth Street", and then he raised his hand violently, and with his gesture, two whole groups of archers immediately appeared on the city wall, stretching their bows and arrows, and hundreds of arrows were aimed at Elaine and others under the city at the same time.
"There is an order from the military department, Earth Street is suspected of helping the imperial fugitive Caesar, and a comprehensive investigation has been conducted on Earth Street!
The sergeant stared at Master Cole under the city walls, and said coldly, "You are Cole from Earth Street? Very good, I believe you, I have seen your information, I remember your face."
But what is your mission this time? Anyway, it is definitely not a so-called classified mission approved by the military department, and now that Earth Street is under full investigation, where did the secret mission come from?!
I'll give you ten seconds to make it clear. If you don't say it, you won't be killed!!" (To be continued.) )
