Chapter 171: Doing All the Little Struggle
"There are no countries or tribes within five kilometers of this area. Going into the interior of the continent, the first country we encounter is called 'Lanbutan'. The area of Lanbutan is not large, and there have been no conflicts recently, so it should be possible to pass smoothly. The second country we encounter is called 'Qiding', and the new king has just succeeded to the throne..."
Artborg listened quietly to Barrit's report, and suddenly stepped forward.
"Commander-in-chief?" Barrett immediately stopped reporting and followed closely behind him.
Artborg leaned forward slightly, pushed aside the dense grass, and revealed the strange traces.
"Use tracking magic," he said.
Seeing this mark, Barritt was shocked, "Yes!"
Four toes, sharp nails, wide and thick pads... It is as big as a human head, not like an ordinary animal.
How did the commander notice this? Just from a tiny bit of it sticking out of the bushes? That's amazing!
Barritt did not doubt it and concentrated his magic power in his hands. A green light emerged and then split into ten thin lines. After circling above the footprints for a while, they flew in one direction.
He folded his fingers together and carefully sensed the magic. "Commander-in-chief, the target is five kilometers away and is still moving slowly. I'm not sure if there are other creatures around."
"Fend, Nahum, Clito, the three of you are responsible for reconnaissance. Record the key information and don't alert the enemy." Artborg turned around, the sunlight shining through the clouds directly into his blue eyes, still with an indifferent look, "Let's go to Lambutan first."
Everyone in the expeditionary corps felt a little surprised. After all, this was the first time that their commander-in-chief spoke so much and gave orders directly without going through deputy commander Barritt.
The three people who were named were the ones who had followed him to the Bone Tower as escort knights.
"Yes!" The young knights answered in unison, then put on their hoods and disappeared in an instant.
Mo Xie looked at the three men's swift movements and had a rough estimate of their strength.
Stronger than Edan Howard, above the second-level gold knight, but below the second-level platinum knight?
Beside them, Yuli and Bishop suddenly shuddered.
"The climates of the Western Continent, Ocean Continent, and Eastern Continent are so different..."
"Yeah, I feel like I have nothing on."
"Mo Xie, don't you feel cold?"
It seemed that Yuli had asked a similar question not long ago.
"I'm fine." Mo Xie smiled and gave the same answer.
Well, it’s really Moshe MacIntosh, not only does he have strong vitality, but he’s also very resistant to frost.
Yuli gave a thumbs up with admiration.
As if to dispel the cold, the large group moved very quickly, and when they arrived at Rambutan, almost everyone had a rosy complexion, light steps, and their body joints were flexible with some strength left.
"Welcome, welcome, friends from afar!"
The city gate slowly opened, and out walked a skinny old man with dark brown skin. He wore a tall hat on his head and a colorful cloth wrapped around his body, revealing his waist that was almost as wide as an average person's thigh, and his ribs were clearly visible.
The members of the translation team dispersed and translated what he said into Lorpu for everyone to hear.
"Hello, I am the King of Rambutan. I sincerely invite you to rest for a while in the royal city."
Seeing that Barrit was about to speak, King Rambutan immediately added: "I know your destination is the ancient country of China, and I also know that you want to attack that world-wide plane together. I won't keep you too long, I just... want to give you something."
Hearing this, Barrit closed his mouth and looked at his superior.
Art Borg nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hospitality."
King Rambutan was so excited that he bowed deeply to him, his face full of wrinkles from smiling. "It is Rambutan's honor."
So the huge army followed the winding and narrow path and entered the royal city of Rambutan.
"This……"
“Is this really not a ruin?”
The people who have always lived in the prosperous and stable Renekton have never seen such a scene.
The barren land was littered with debris and broken bricks, with wood chips mixed with dust flying everywhere, and there was no sign of life at all.
"Your Majesty, what happened to Rambutan?" Barrit couldn't help but ask.
King Rambutan smiled bitterly and led them into an alley. "In fact, our neighboring country Qiding has always wanted to annex us. Yesterday, they sent a hundred people to attack us, and we suffered heavy losses."
"I heard that they are planning to launch a Warcraft-related project. If you don't want to get into trouble, it's best to avoid them," he warned.
Barritt pondered for a moment and asked, "Perhaps you have a scroll that can teleport to Danleifa? We can buy it."
Danleifa is the third country that you pass through in a straight line from the coast of the East Continent.
King Rambutan shook his head and spread out his rough palms. "Although I want to help you, I'm sorry, Rambutan doesn't have that kind of precious thing."
"Okay." Barritt didn't seem surprised. Even the most ignorant person could see the current situation of this small country, which was poor, sparsely populated, and ravaged by war.
Fortunately, along the way from the Western Continent, they had someone to record the coordinates in order to draw a teleportation scroll, so that they could teleport directly to the Eastern Continent next time.
At the end of the alley is an open space that can barely accommodate two thousand people.
King Rambutan summoned a middle-aged woman. She was dressed in similar clothes to him, with a shriveled body, a pair of dark brown eyes that were dull, and lips covered with dry skin, as if she was only breathing her last.
"Her name is Husa. You can tell her if you need anything." King Rambutan put his hand over his heart, looking sincere. "Basic food is not a problem. I can guarantee that."
"Please wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon."
King Rambutan left, walking on his thin legs and quickly entering the building next door.
The atmosphere became a little subtle. Who would dare to sit down and rest without the commander-in-chief's order?
Hu Sha slowly straightened up and looked at Barritt, "What do you want to eat?"
Her voice was shrill and hoarse, like an old bellows, whirring with heavy breaths.
"As long as it doesn't cause adverse symptoms, it's fine."
Barrett originally wanted to say "As you please", but then he thought, they still had to hurry on their way, and it would be bad if they got an upset stomach.
Hu Sha whispered, "Okay."
Then she did something unexpected.
She pulled out a dagger from her waist and cut her arm without hesitation.
Blood gushed out, and at the same time, a strange wave of magical power spread in the space, filled with a decadent atmosphere.
Barritt clenched his fist with one hand and held up Hu Sha's arm that was about to fall, "What are you doing?!"
Hu Sha tilted her head in confusion. "I'm...preparing food. Please wait for a moment. It will be ready soon."
As an outsider, he had no right to interfere in the words and deeds of the people of Rambutan. Barritt could only frown and retract his hand.
The blood did not drip onto the ground, but was wrapped in magic power and floated in front of everyone.
Then at the same time, there was a "bang" sound, and it was instantly stretched to become the shape of a baguette.
"Please eat, my lords." As if she could see what people were thinking, Husha explained woodenly, "What you swallow is just bread, it won't become anything else."
Even if you say so, thinking about the bloody scene just now still makes people feel physically uncomfortable!
Just when people were struggling with how to eat it, King Rambutan came back.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting." He walked up to Artborg, holding a box in his hands.
"Rambutan is very weak and does not have a decent team of knights and magicians, so we cannot provide any help to you."
"It contains the heart of the original species of demon beast, the Red Flame Lion. After taking it, one can directly break through a realm. I hope it can witness the victory of the plane battle and the continuation of the world on our behalf."
This thin old man, although clearly offering an extremely rare treasure to a stranger with both hands, had a joyful smile on his face, as if he was about to be reborn, full of vitality.
Hearing these words, all the members of the expeditionary corps were moved.
Moshe stared at King Rambutan's face, and ripples appeared in his calm eyes.
what.
This is all Rambutan has given.
My humble contribution.
