Chapter 5: The Emerald Mountains

Three days later, the Emerald Mountains.

Herag and his party rode along the mountain road, and at the back of the group was a wagon with supplies.

A light rain had just fallen in the mountains, and clouds and mist swirled in the mountains.

It's sunset, and Emir is at the forefront on horseback, looking around for places suitable for camping.

Gerag was in the middle of the group, and he had a map in his field of vision.

Everywhere he passed, he let Deep Blue record it. Combined with the existing maps, a more complete map is taking shape.

The Pumpkin Farm is an important crop producer in Barony's Lordship, growing a variety of crops and located on the western edge of the Emerald Mountains. Baron Baron's castle is located on the right side of the Emerald Mountains, which they need to climb to reach the pumpkin farm.

"Let's spend the night in this cave tonight."

Ahead of him, the emir found a large cave with some kind of animal hair and dried animal feces at the entrance to the cave.

This is obviously a nest for bears and other animals, but Emile and the others don't care about this, bears only come to give fur.

The horses were all tied to the forest and left to graze and rest on their own.

The carriage stopped in front of the cave and formed a simple fortification.

The group also began to get busy, and the bonfire was very open and lit at the entrance of the cave.

Herag was responsible for removing food from the wagon, cured meats, potatoes, tomatoes and other vegetables.

A large cauldron was quickly lifted above the campfire, and cured meat and other food were thrown into it.

They have been eating this outside for the past few days, stewed in a mess.

A shelf was soon erected next to the campfire, where the guards hung their wet clothes to dry.

"Oh! Jimmy! Put away your damn socks! How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to bake socks while cooking! Do you want to eat cured meat that smells like stinky socks! The bearded guard named Hagen sniffed his nose, turned his head and saw a pair of stinky socks hanging from the rack where he dried his clothes, and immediately roared.

"Hey, hey." Jimmy embarrassedly put his socks away and hung them outside the cave.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Herag walked over to the cauldron and lifted the lid.

A strong fragrance burst out, filling the entire cave and wafting into the darkening mountain forest outside.

"It's time to eat!" Herag shouted, and the guards who were lying and sitting in the cave came over with their iron lunch boxes.

None of them made a move, just stared at the meat in the pot and swallowed, all waiting for the emir to eat first.

Emir took a fork and forked some meat and vegetables into the lunch box, scooped up some soup, and then sat down at the door of the cave and ate it, looking out of the cave and not knowing what he was thinking.

As soon as the emir left, the rest of the people were not welcome, and the meat in the pot was soon gone.

Herag has long been experienced, and with the assistance of dark blue, he grabs meat accurately and quickly.

After dinner, there was no entertainment, and the group chatted around the campfire for a while before going to bed.

They can only sleep half-unarmoured, with weapons and armor by their side to ensure that something can be put into combat mode as soon as possible.

Herag kept vigil tonight, and he sat by the campfire and kept an eye on the movements around him.

Since there was no dry wood in the mountains after the rain, Herag went to the carriage to get some dry wood from the reserves.

The campfire must not be extinguished all night, and nearby beasts will automatically retreat when they see the flames, which can be much less trouble.

It was late at night, and it was raining lightly in the mountains again. Herag glanced at the time in his field of vision, one o'clock in the morning.

According to the usual observations, the dark blue chip found that this world is also about 24 hours a day.

According to the twenty-four-hour clock of his previous life, Gerag let the dark blue calibrate the time.

The cold wind blew into the cave, and the bonfire made a popping sound, and the flames jumped with the wind.

The cold wind blew away Herag's sleepiness, and he stared at the mountains and forests outside the cave that had no light, and there was nothing unusual in the dark blue minimap.

The dark blue mini-map originally had an observation range of 10 meters, but after Herag's physical fitness was greatly improved, the mini-map could show the flora and fauna within a 100-meter radius.

At the same time, in the jungle in the distance, a group of people were approaching the cave in the dark.

The sound of the rain muffled their footsteps, and they were careful enough to be hard noticed in the darkness.

After they got a little closer to the cave, the three leaders made a gesture, and the people behind them immediately divided into two teams, lurking from the left and right flanks to approach the cave, and the remaining three continued to lurk and approach from the front.

Herag sat at the entrance of the cave, holding on to his post, the dark blue minimap always open in view.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, he saw an extra red dot on the minimap, in the forest to the left of the cave entrance, and immediately after, eight more red dots entered the range of the minimap.

At the same time, a group of people walked into the right, the number was nine, the same as the left.

Herag immediately drew his sword and reminded in a low voice: "Enemy attack! ”

The emir slept in the innermost part of the cave, and he woke up before the sword of Herag could be drawn, and quickly put on his armor.

The others were also very fast, and they all woke up.

"A group of people on the left and right sides are approaching here quickly, and there are three people approaching here in the front direction of the cave!" Herag gave a quick account of the current situation.

The emir didn't ask him how he knew this, he walked over to the campfire and kicked the cauldron over, which was instantly extinguished by the soup.

He turned around and said, "Everyone follow me to break through from the right side!" ”

Their horses are in the forest on the right, and if they don't know how strong they are, it's a good choice to ride away from danger first.

Herag and the others nodded in unison, and rushed out of the cave after the emir.

"Damn! Don't let the emir escape! One of the three men roared angrily.

The movement here was apparently noticed by the people outside, and they knew they were exposed the moment the bonfire went out.

Woohoo!

A round of bows and arrows was quickly fired into the cave, most of which were blocked by the carriage.

The Emirs were also attacked in the forest on the right, but because it was dark, no one was shot.

Herag noticed that the group was hiding in the woods, and did not choose to confront them head-on, each with a bow and arrow.

"They're over here! Come here! When the other party found out about the emir, he immediately began to report his location.

As he saw from the small map, another group of men had surrounded him, and the three of them were approaching at great speed.

Such a speed must be official knights, they must break through from the right side as soon as possible.

"Deep Blue, turn on Assist aiming."

Hiding behind a tree to dodge arrows, Herag bent his bow and arrows to aim at the enemy in the forest ahead.

Others can't see it, but he can see it. With Deep Blue's help, he could still see everything around him clearly in the dark, and he could see people hiding behind trees.
