Chapter 49: The Shadow of the Camping
After the first day of fresh travel, Faerun's interest was greatly reduced, and the scenery was almost the same back and forth.
The development rate of this red earth continent is really not generally low, as long as you are far away from the town, you can see primeval forests everywhere, and you will see all kinds of animals jumping among them from the gaps in the trees, Fei Lun knows from books that the population of all ethnic groups on the red earth continent is tens of billions of people, more than the population on the earth, and these tens of billions of people only live on one continent.
Although it is not known whether the Red Earth Continent is the name of a planet or a continent, it can be proved from these large areas of primeval forests and mountains that this planet is much larger than the Earth.
Compared to the earth, gravity is indeed the same, Fei Lun is a bit of a pity, if he is a jishu house, he must be able to find some wonderful things from this, maybe it is possible to unravel how the magic is formed.
On the morning of the next day, the convoy arrived in the next town, but the St. Philip School of Magic and Wizardry did not give Feren enough time to play again, but only to make less supplies in the town, and the convoy immediately circled the city without making a stop.
Not only this town, but also, no matter how big or small the town is, prosperous or not, they don't enter it, they just make some supplies and leave, and if the supplies are sufficient, they don't stop at all.
Such a rapid march made Piri, a pleasure-minded man, anxious, even if he stayed in the town for one night, he would be able to sleep beautifully in the plumpness of women, but Lawrence did not give him such a chance at all, and the dissatisfaction in Piri's heart became heavier and heavier, but for the sake of his own beauty, he could only complain silently in his heart, but as long as the magic box in his heart opened a small opening, it would expand infinitely over time.
At noon on the third day, the convoy finally left Philo Territory, and Lawrence's vigilance was raised a notch.
"Captain Lawrence, isn't it going to be a rough road?"
Fallon asked, noticing Lawrence's vigilance.
"No, Young Master Feiren, this road is a business road, and there will be regular cleaning of various territories, but compared to the Philo Territory, it is still a little worse, after all, thieves are all wandering around, and there will be elite infiltrators from enemy countries, pretending to be robbers to make a little money, so it's better to be careful." ”
Lawrence was only a necessary vigilance, not a danger to be known.
Fei Lun nodded, it is really difficult for ordinary people on this red earth continent to go far away, either beasts or robbers, even the military have to guard against it, no wonder so many places are not developed.
When leaving the Philo Territory, the Anthony family badge is no longer so useful, and in the Philo Territory, passing soldiers will immediately give up the badge on the Ferron carriage when they see it, and some will help escort them for a while.
And except for Philo, the patrolling soldiers were no longer so respectful and began to come up to investigate, but because of the status of the nobles of Feiren, they did not dare to do anything excessive, and those small caravans were not so lucky, as long as they were stopped by these patrol soldiers, without a little filial piety, they could not get out at all,
These soldiers, even if you have complete procedures, can find out more than ten kinds of faults for you, either the quantity of goods is not standard, or the specifications of the carriage exceed the standard, in short, it is impossible not to pay for it.
This reminded Faren of certain people somewhere in the Celestial Empire, absolutely surprisingly similar.
With the status of a nobleman, Faren and they did not encounter the slightest difficulty, which also made Lawrence feel that the task was too easy, if it was to escort a caravan, I am afraid it would not be so easy, and sometimes it would fall out with the soldiers, and maybe there would be blood.
There is also the city gate tax, with the existence of Faerun, the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to come forward to find it boring, they cleared the travel lane for them early, and respectfully let the convoy pass.
The feeling of being a superior person also makes Fei Lun feel good, and he uses his strength to win status, which is stronger than fighting for his father on the earth.
Because of these conditions, Faeron's convoy moved very fast, and Lawrence told Feren that the current speed of progress was much faster than he expected, and he believed that it would be able to reach the imperial capital in a day or a half than originally expected.
After knowing that he could arrive early, Fei Lun was in a good mood, and maybe there would be time to visit the follower that Grandpa said, but I don't know what kind of follower Grandpa was back then.
"Young Master Faeron, it's time to camp, we won't be able to make it to the next town before dark. ”
In the past three or four days, there was only one night in a small town to spend the night, and the others were camping in the wilderness, and Fei Lun also began to get used to it, anyway, living in a carriage, the comfort level was not as bad as the hotel.
It's still a little stiff body to get off the train and move, this kind of long-distance trek is really not a comfortable thing, and when you reach the age of Grandpa Anthony, you can't afford this kind of tossing, so you will study the train, anyway, the principle of the steam engine, anyone who has studied physics can roughly understand, not to mention that this is a magical shijie, there are countless substitute energy sources, a small train should be fine, maybe it's in a hurry, and the plane can be done.
Since there is no harvest like the first day today, Faeron has no chance to taste Bilber's craftsmanship, so he can only eat some simple food made by the accompanying servants, even if it is simple food, it is better than the black bread eaten by the mercenaries, because the mercenaries often have to eat in the field, so the food must be easy to carry and durable to store, dry and hard black bread is their most haode choice, and there are all kinds of jerky to supplement nutrition and regulate appetite, in short, it is not a delicious food.
After eating the food of the mercenaries once, Fei Lun reconsidered his plan to live as a mercenary, if it weren't for the fact that he had something as rebellious as a backpack, Fei Lun was really ready to dispel this plan.
After eating, under the starry sky, Faeron leisurely walked around the camp, Lawrence is worthy of an experienced mercenary, and the campsite he chose is also surveyed, the campsite is next to a small river, providing abundant water, and backing the forest, it is convenient to collect some firewood and harvest some game.
When the food in his stomach was almost digested and his body was a little tired, Faeron said hello to Lawrence and went back to the carriage to rest.
"Piri, Us, Char, the three of you keep vigil tonight, pay attention, understand?"
Seeing that Faeron was resting, Lawrence also began to arrange the personnel of the night vigil.
"Got it. ”
The three men replied that they were already familiar with these things, and as long as they were ordered, they would know what to do, and there was no need for Lawrence to direct them one by one.
"Well, the others also rest early, tomorrow we still have to rush for a day, if the speed is faster, we will be able to arrive two days early, and then give you three days off and play as you please. ”
Lawrence still has to cheer up the team, after all, such a long-distance mission is easy to make people mentally tired.
"Head, you're too considerate. ”
"Head, you're so good, Hughes, you still owe me a gentle country, and you'll have to pay me back when you get to the imperial capital. ”
"Head, you also rest early. ”
The team members dispersed after talking and laughing, and returned to their tent to rest, Lawrence also returned to the tent to rest after a round of touring, and his spirit was tense all day, Lawrence was quite tired.
The three men of the night vigil divided into three directions, quietly waiting for the dawn, and tomorrow, they could make up for sleep comfortably in the reserve carriage.
The whole camp went from the bustle of eating, and immediately fell silent, only the crackling sound of the campfire, and then the snoring gradually came and went, and after a day of running, sleep was the most beautiful thing in life.
"It's all the fuss, I have to keep a vigil, the first two nights weren't all, it's really not considerate at all. ”
Piri, who was guarding in the direction of the forest, muttered in his mouth, and then added firewood to the campfire to make the fire a little stronger and drive away the chill from his body.
Listening to the insects and beasts in the forest, Piri's eyes were fighting, and he always squinted for a while in a daze, and then suddenly woke up, flattened his mouth, and continued to nap.
Without noticing at all, a group of black figures appeared in the dark forest, and these black shadows were tiptoeing towards the camp with the help of the cover of this forest.
After waking up from another unstable body, Piri stood up and stretched, feeling some urine in his stomach, so he threw the spear in his hand to the side and staggered into the forest to release water.
Piri, who was not the slightest bit unsuspecting, came to a tree, loosened his belt, took out his treasure, and happily fertilized the tree, and threw it back and forth honestly, as if it were more interesting.
And behind Piri, unconsciously a black shadow leaned up, just when Piri drained the water and shivered, the black shadow covered Piri's mouth with one hand, and with the other hand, he took a dagger and slashed Piri's neck, blood spurted out instantly, pouring on the fertilizer that Piri had just released, and Piri also fell softly, and he was still in a daze until he died.
After Piri was solved, one side of the camp was completely open to the public, and the black shadow that killed Piri beckoned, and more than a dozen people dressed in black instantly burst out of the forest, and then a few gestures, these more than ten people divided into three groups and entered the camp, two of which went to deal with the other two night watchmen, and the remaining group was ready to deal with the mercenaries who had been sleeping.
Looking at their skillful infiltration movements, they are definitely veterans in this area, with a silent way of walking, black clothes and daggers, and they are definitely not people who fight head-on.
With the cover of the night, the night watchman Uss and Char were also successfully killed, who made them as sleepy as Piri, although they were veteran players, and they were also very obedient to Lawrence's arrangement, but they couldn't stand the fatigue of the body, although they were not as relaxed as Piri, and took a nap in the air, but the spirit and body were obviously relaxed a lot, belonging to a half-dreaming and half-awake state, and they were wiped their necks without realizing it.
