Chapter 339: A Dangerous Way Home
After a few more days of running on the eastern plains, and when he was finally approaching the edge of the eastern plains, Lucius suddenly stopped, and instead of continuing towards the border, he turned around and walked back.
Seeing this, Augustine was a little puzzled and asked, "What's the matter? Why do we have to go back? Shouldn't we rush back to the west as much as we can? At such times, it is not safe to stay here." ā
Instead of acknowledging a word, Lucius sped up his motorcycle, driving back to the depths of the Eastern Plains at almost a rapid speed, away from the borders of the plains, which were almost close at hand.
After driving a long way, Lucius gradually slowed down his motorcycle, and whispered to Augustine, "Don't you feel it? ā
Hearing this, Augustine was taken aback, but looked at Lucius with some confusion and asked, "How do you know?
"Intuition. Lucius replied crisply.
But Augustine was not convinced: "Intuition? When did your intuition become so accurate?"
Lucius reluctantly stopped the steam motorcycle, took out the binoculars from the metal box on his waist, handed it to Augustine and said, "Don't believe it? ā
Augustine unceremoniously took the telescope and looked through it towards the border of the eastern plains in the distance.
At first, the border was unusually calm, but after a few moments, Augustine could clearly see through the telescope a group of warriors in steel armor cruising back and forth at the border.
And soon another Iron Warrior appeared, and the two groups of men and horses met together, as if there was some kind of settlement, and then the group of men and horses that had been hiding in the shadows left, and the cruising Iron Warriors quickly hid at the border. The edge of the plain soon regained its former calm.
Augustine was terrified, and did not expect that the iron warriors were standing on the border of the Eastern Plains, as Lucius had said, as they seemed to know that they had not yet left.
Turning his head to look at Lucius, Augustine asked with some concern: "Then what should we do now? Have we been hiding in the east? In case those guys in the east have a carpet search, I'm afraid we will be discovered sooner or later, not to mention that we haven't prepared food, what will you and Hopkin do?"
Looking down at Hopkin, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, Lucius thought for a moment and said, "It seems." We have to find a new way, or take a longer detour. ā
Augustine disagreed with Lucius's idea: "The detour will be more dangerous for us, and let's not forget that whether we go around to the south or the north, we will have to face the Avengers, and no one can guarantee that the other two Avengers will not attack us." ā
After a pause, Augustine thought for a moment and muttered, "Perhaps." Maybe the other two Avengers are waiting for us on their side? ā
Augustine's worries, in fact, Lucius also thought of it. However, Lecius felt that the detour was not necessarily dangerous: "Perhaps they will think that we are blocked in the eastern plains, and have not set a trap for us in their respective spheres of influence? ā
Apparently Lucius was a little lucky. In fact, he had a safer route to avoid the Avengers who were chasing them.
It's just that the road seems to be the safest, but it's actually the most dangerous. Because the road crosses the plain directly, you have to pass through the mechanical castle in the middle of the plain.
If he took the road across the middle of the plain, Lucius couldn't help but glance down at Hopkin, he still didn't want to take Hopkin to adventure, and preferred to take Hopkin on a relatively conservative path.
Augustine glanced at Lucius, and then at Hopkin, who was sleeping in Lucius's arms, knowing Lucius's concerns, he was silent for a moment and said: "Lucius, I think you are still a little conservative, Du Liniang is here in the mechanical castle, and it is actually safer for us to take that road." ā
After a long silence, Lucius finally made up his mind, raised his head to look at the gray sky in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then let's go to the mechanical castle, hoping to meet the aunt." ā
The "Anung Ang" steam motorcycle started again, this time heading straight for the middle of the plain, and even Lucius did not deliberately hide his whereabouts, just to enter the middle of the plain as much as possible to get rid of the pursuers sent by the Avengers.
When Lucius drove his motorcycle into the middle of the plain, the steel warriors who surrounded and intercepted Lucius also got the news, but they couldn't do anything about it, after all, the middle of the plain was a forbidden area for them, and neither the Avengers nor the mining companies were willing to go to the sphere of influence of the mechanical castle at such a time.
In a quarry in the Eastern Plains, orcs and a group of humans are gathered together, and the leader of the greenskinned orcs is clearly not satisfied with the results of the hunt.
Looking at the Iron Warrior in annoyance, he asked the other party, "What the hell is going on with you? You will let that guy escape? Haven't you already laid a net that will definitely catch them?"
The leader of the Iron Warrior took off the heavy helmet on his head, revealing a dark red orc head, and lowered his head in shame and said to the green-skinned orc leader: "Chief, this matter is our carelessness, I didn't expect that guy to choose to go directly to the middle of the plain." ā
"Hmph, it's all a bunch of waste, now is the time for our steel tribe to rise, you are dragging your feet at this moment, giving you these steel equipment, you still can't get it done, it's really disappointing to me. ā
The Iron Warrior Leader did not dare to refute the rebuke of the orc chieftain, so he could only bow his head and remain silent.
On the other hand, a human man dressed in a gentleman's outfit next to him stood up and said with a smile: "Hehe, respected chief, in fact, you don't have to blame them too much, although we failed to catch that little girl, but we are not without a chance, we can fake a clover family heir." ā
"What do you mean?" the orc chieftain looked at the human man with a puzzled look on his face as he was clearly confused about the human ally's words.
The latter smiled and said, "Chief, I mean very clearly, that is, we can introduce an heir to the Shamrock family, because no one knows what the heir looks like except you, does it?"
The orc lowered his head and thought about it, and felt that it was very good for humans to mention yƬ, and there was no way to catch Hopkin at the moment, and it was indeed a good way to secretly raise a family out, which could not only solve the problem of their namelessness, but also control the guy who was raised in his own hands.
But after thinking about it, the orc chief felt that something was wrong, because there were also those High Elves and Black Iron Dwarves, and those two families had also seen Hopkin, and if they supported the puppets themselves, those two families might not give up.
Thinking of this, the orc chief spoke: "This plan is not proper, those High Elves and Black Iron Dwarves will definitely pierce us, and it will be very unfavorable to us when the time comes." ā
The man from the mining company laughed when he heard this, "Hahaha, Chief Chief, you are really worried, you think that the High Elves and the Black Iron Dwarves will expose us? ā
"Huh?" Hearing this, the orc chief was suddenly a little surprised, completely unexpected, the High Elves and Black Iron Dwarves were faster.
But after thinking about it, the half-orc chief couldn't help but be relieved, after all, the small town of Hopkin was in the Eastern Plains, and it was not easy for the High Elves and Black Iron Dwarves to come and take people.
Therefore, for those two families, supporting puppets is the best way, which can save a lot of trouble.
The orc chief quickly made a decision and agreed to the man's suggestion from the mining company: "Okay, then do as you say, and the specific matters will be left to you, I hope you humans will stop fooling us." ā
The man sent by the mining company looked at his companion and said with a smile: "Hehe, Chief Chief, you are really good at laughing, now we are grasshoppers on a rope, and we still need to rely on you orc warriors, how can we fool you? ā
As he spoke, the man from the mining company stood up and was about to leave, but the orc chief suddenly said, "Wait, you haven't forgotten the batch of supplies you promised before, when are you going to send them?"
The people from the mining company stopped, and it was still the man from before who smiled and said: "Hehe, Chief Chief, please rest assured, we will never regret it, even if you don't catch that little girl, we will send the promised supplies as agreed, and in three days, it will be delivered, do you think it's okay?"
Hearing this, the half-orc chief turned his head to look at the other half-orcs behind him, one of the half-orcs in linen robes nodded slightly, and the half-orc chief agreed: "Okay, then three days, give you three days, it's best to send it on time, otherwise don't blame me for turning against you." ā
Hearing the orc chief say this, several of the people from the mining company looked a little unkind, but they were stopped by the man who spoke.
The man continued to smile and said, "Rest assured, Chief, we will not delay time, and you and the warriors under your command will surely become the strongest army on the plains." ā
With that, the people from the mining company took their leave, and the orc chieftain did not get up to see them off, but sent someone to send them away from the orc station.
When the men left, the orc, dressed in a linen robe, said in a low, hoarse voice: "Chief Glenck, you need to be careful of those humans, humans are a bunch of cunning fellows, we have obtained supplies, we must do our best to build, our own army of steel, only if we are strong enough to be able to gain a permanent foothold on the plains." ā
The orc chief was very respectful of the linen-robed orc, and said respectfully, "Priest, rest assured, I will not let our tribe be enslaved by humans again. (To be continued......)
