72 CHAPTER XXII

At noon the day after the attack, Urruti led the team to a different route and into a rough path, because the carriage could not be moved, so Lady Millen had to get out of the carriage and ride the horse, and the carriage was split and put into the magic bag - the magic bag could not be stored in a large amount of items at once, and in order to facilitate the carrying and use, the carriages of the nobles were generally designed to be disassembled.

Aristocratic women often rode horses and went on safaris for entertainment, but the hard work of riding horses was different from that of safaris, and Lady Millen was very unhappy at first, and she had a lot of doubts about the diversion, but Urruti did not give face at all, and only asked Moss to solve it himself. In the end, I don't know how many good things the knight chief said, and the group came out again after half an hour.

The first ten miles of the trail was covered by dense forests, but after this section of the road it opened up, and all along the way were stone mountains with only one layer of adobe, with some barren grass, and there was no large-scale dense forest, and the long mountain road was opened on the top of the mountain, and the surroundings were clear at a glance, and with Moeller's magic eye and Ereba's golden-eyed tiger eagle constantly probing, there was almost no need to worry about being ambushed.

The route chosen by Urruti is very good, the only drawback is that it is too far away, and the journey that used to be two days now takes four days. However, the road for four days was peaceful, except that every night there would be a strange hum from Lady Millen's tent, which was said to have been injured by the exertion on horseback, but fortunately there were precious potions prepared in advance that could be used, and the effect was immediate, and there was no need for Moeller to help make it.

And Moller had nothing to do along the way, except to be vigilant, just watching Rex exercise with weights, doing some alchemy experiments at night when he rested, and boiling some commonly used potions.

Ereba often came back with some prey such as rock sheep, and when they roasted them, they not only ate them themselves, but also often shared them with the knights, and the relationship between the two sides was much closer, at least they could already call all the knights by name.

On the fourth day, a great river crossed the eyes. This river is called the Golden Sturgeon River, it is 100 meters wide, the river is not very turbulent, if you walk along the main road, you can still see the ferry, there are many boats that can cross the river, but after taking the path here, it is a wild ferry, usually no boats appear, you can only find a way to pass.

It was not difficult, for the Moellers had carried two stout ropes to the opposite shore in their pontoons, which they had not yet struck, and then built a half-floating suspension bridge with ropes and planks.

The ropeway was built by the hands of Urruti and Ereba and the planks were made by the knights from cutting down trees along the coast, and with the strength of a group of two dozen practitioners, the 100-meter-long ropeway was built in less than an hour.

First half of the knights crossed with their horses, and then Lady Millen, supported by the chief Moss, and the other two knights, walked carefully onto the bridge—the three handsome guards were of no use, and it would be nice for them to stand on their own on the rocking drawbridge.

Just as Mrs. Millian walked to the center of the pontoon, the upstream water near the bridge deck suddenly raised a wall of water four or five meters high without warning, and slammed towards the few people standing on the bridge.

Moss hurriedly pulled Madame Millen to the opposite bank, but the wall of water was fierce, and in one shot, he threw all the people into the water, and even the suspension bridge was broken in two.

After the wall of water, a huge water giant formed from the surface of the river, and the water giant with an upper body was seven or eight full

Meters high, the arms composed of two streams of water waved several tons of water, and hit Moss and the others who had just emerged after falling into the water.

Although Moss is a high-level demon warrior, he is not easy to use in the water, so he can only dodge with wolves. And although the water giant attacked him a few times, it seemed that he was still looking for other targets, so he was given a chance to breathe.

Mrs. Milen disappeared after falling into the water, the water giant seemed to be a little dazed, at this moment, more than thirty meters away from the water giant downstream, a wave of more than ten meters high suddenly exploded on the water surface, this is a magic bomb thrown by Moeller, I saw that the bomb exploded, the water giant dissipated like a river, and a huge black shadow emerged from the place where the water wave was exploded.

A giant black tortoise more than six meters long, with a fence-like handrail on its dorsal carapace, and a long white old man sitting on the turtle's back.

After the old man came out of the water, his eyes fell like lightning on Moller and Urruti who had already crossed the river, and the black giant turtle raised its head from the water, shaped like a crocodile's head, and spewed out a blue water ball with a diameter of two feet, and smashed it towards Moller.

The water balloon was fast, like a cannonball, and Moeller and the others were on the shore, and they could have dodged, but at this time, they chose to use the protective magic crystal to prop up the shield to block it.

"Phew!"

The force of this water ball was extremely powerful, and the magic shield that protected the magic crystal was shaken, and most of the magic power was consumed at once. Even Moeller, who was behind the shield, felt a lot of impact, and involuntarily took two steps back, but finally blocked it.

It turned out to be a whiptail snapping turtle!

Moeller recognized the big turtle as an 8th-order water-based demonic beast, no wonder the water bomb sprayed was so powerful, and then he opened his pocket, and a little wolf jumped out of it, turning into a tall giant wolf in a blink of an eye, rushing to the shore and spewing out a hurricane towards the old man who was riding the turtle.

Moleton Guò's spiritual power reminds his demon pet to beware of the whip-tailed snapping turtle's tail hidden in the water, according to the records of the inheritance memory, it is a murder weapon!

Just when Moeller was fighting with the old man on the turtle, there was no threat from the water giant, Moss and the other two knights who had fallen into the water climbed ashore, and Lady Millian was nowhere to be seen, but he was not in a hurry at all, and only commanded the knights to guard around Mole.

The old man who rode the turtle waved his hand and raised a thick wall of water, easily blocking the hurricane that Patana was spewing out, and then a black shadow suddenly appeared in the water near the river bank, popping out of the water like a poisonous snake and stabbing Patana in the heart.

Even if Patana was reminded by Moeller and had been guarding against a sudden attack, she was taken aback by the speed of this attack, but fortunately, it was a wind-type monster, outstanding in terms of speed, and there was no danger under the full dodge.

The black shadow struck to no avail, and then slowly retracted into the water, and it was actually a whip-like tail with a tip like a spear, and a shiny metallic color showed its sharpness.

After seeing that this blow was also futile, the old man who rode the turtle no longer had nostalgia, and rode the giant turtle away quickly with the current, and disappeared downstream of the river in a blink of an eye.

"I'm leaving, I thought there was going to be a big fight!"

Moeller, who had a magic bomb hidden in his hand and didn't throw it, was a little surprised, this attack was too anticlimactic.

Moss breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's because we have been prepared, otherwise it would be difficult to ensure the safety of Lady Millen—are you alright, ma'am?"

The last words of the chief knight were addressed to the void behind Moller, and then Moller withdrew the power of the phantom crystal, and saw the light and shadow distorted, and the somewhat pale Lady Millen appeared there, although she looked very weak, but her expression remained calm.

Since Uruti and Moeller had guessed that they were being remembered, how could they not take precautions early, the road conditions ahead after the diversion had already been detected by the Demon Eye and the Golden-Eyed Tiger Eagle, and this big river was the most vulnerable to sneak attacks, so they made a plan in advance.

When preparing to build the drawbridge, it seemed that Moller had pulled two ropes over in a pontoon, but in fact, he had already sent Lady Millen to the other side with a phantom crystal to conceal her body and dark Chen Cang. The one who was escorted across the bridge by Moss and the others was nothing more than a dummy made by illusion!

Originally, Moller was worried that his illusion would not be able to deceive people, but Urruti said that since the other party was ambushed, he would not carefully probe the truth of Lady Millian in order to conceal it - with Moss, a high-level demon warrior with keen senses, guarding the side, the other party must not dare to use mental power to probe rashly in order to avoid being revealed.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case, the mage who ambushed is obviously a high-level mage of the Elemental Sect, but it is not clear that Lady Milen is a fake.

"I thought there was going to be a big fight. Urruti leaned on his javelin and said, "Now it seems that the main messenger behind the scenes is a new man, so he only arranged for a high-ranking magician to come and attack, without thinking about what to do if we have defense." If we put more effort into hiding a group of masters on both sides of the river in advance, and rush over while the team is divided into two by the river, we will have to fight hard!"

Moss's face was heavy at Urruti's words, and several knights were sent by him to rebuild the bridge, and he took this opportunity to say to Lady Millen: "Madame, it seems that there is really a spy in our ranks!"

The new trail was not known in advance except for Uruti himself, but he was still ambushed in advance, which shows that there were spies accompanying him to pass on the news.

Madame Millen was calm, and said to Moss: "The suspicious ones among the knights, just keep an eye on them first, and don't do anything." ”

As a result, the next morning Moller heard that the guard who had asked him for medicine had been bitten by a poisonous water lice while crossing the river yesterday, and that he had been infected very badly without noticing, and that it was too late to take the medicine in the morning. Amid the mournful weeping of Lady Millian, the body of the handsome guard, covered in purple, was buried in the wilderness wrapped in a blanket.

Moller didn't care what Lady Millen did with her face, he had heard some knights say before that those three were all children of small noble families, and their status was not even as good as that of knights who only had lords, and they didn't care if they died.

After four days of detouring the trail, Urruti led everyone back to the right path, and after half a day's drive, a majestic and prosperous city appeared in front of him.

The city is called "City of Flowers", and its geographical location is not as important as McCane's City, but it is even more prosperous, with many vendors gathering here every day. Just because the hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers near a few cities are rich in products, and there are 100,000 tribal mountain people, these people have to go down the mountain to sell mountain goods, buy what they need, and over time will bring the economy of a city to life.

Moeller's party was going to take a break in a few cities. Lady Millian first stayed at one of the best hotels in the city, and then sent two knights to deliver a message to the lords of several cities.

The city lord of several cities is a viscount, only serving as the city lord, not a big lord, and he naturally has to be careful about the daughter of the Duke of Leiden, and soon after receiving the letter, he personally came over to invite Mrs. Milian to the city lord's mansion to receive hospitality.

Moller and his party did not follow Lady Millen and the knights to the City Lord's Mansion as guests, and the banquet among the nobles was not interesting to them, but there were many large shops in the city, many of which were well-known magic shops, which were just right to sell their previous harvest.
