Lord of Hyranza

Taking advantage of the night, passing through the cultivated vegetable fields on the other side of the river bay tidal flats, a dark vegetable field looks lush and lush from a distance.

After leaving the village, Suerdak walked all night. Only at the moment before dawn, Suerdak took out his sleeping bag, spread it behind a huge rock, and slept for a while. At dawn, he rode on his horse and continued on his way.

The more you go west, the more desolate you feel. Originally, the valley at the Pagros Pass was still a little green, but when you go deep into the barren land, it is almost a wasteland full of gravel, and some barren mountains are simply a whole piece. The horses should be extra careful when stepping on these gravels, for fear that a piece of weathered stone will shatter in an instant, which will easily break the horse's legs.

There are no too high mountains along the way, at most there are only some huge and exposed rocks on the surface, and one piece is as big as a small hill.

Basically, you can't see the river, not even the dry riverbed. Occasionally, you can see gray rock iguanas crawling out of the rock crevices to bask in the sun. As long as there is a slight sound, these timid gray iguanas Rock iguanas will quickly burrow into rock crevices.

There are almost no leaves growing on some rocky ground. This kind of wild grass is full of thorns, with few leaves, and it is very piercing when approached. It seems that there is a unique toxin on its thorns. Once it is pricked, it will feel It was excruciatingly painful.

The midday sun almost scorched the ground. Seeing the somewhat tired Gubolaima, Suldak decided to find a place to take a good rest. Perhaps he would wait until the sun turned to the west and the sun was not so harsh before continuing. Forward.

Suldak took off the saddle and began to shave Gu Bolai's horse, and then took out some grains and fodder from the magic backpack, and let it stand in the shade of the big rock.

After simply eating some baked wheat cakes and jerky, Suldak slept next to the boulder and squinted his eyes. After getting up, he climbed up a boulder to observe the surrounding terrain. Hard to die of thirst, its thick lips don't seem to be afraid of pricks.

There are no villages in this area at all, and it is deserted.

It is considered to be the most desolate area in the wasteland. The veterans of the militia battalion can know the situation in the west wasteland. Suldak thinks that the villagers in that village have some connection with the refugees there, but he doesn't want to ask about these things , Maybe he married a woman from a refugee village and became his wife.

If it weren't for these rebels who were so hungry that they would have to run out to grab the oats of those refugees, no one would have thought that the rebels were actually hiding in Death Ridge.

This place is a long way from the desert on the edge of the barren land, and the summer has just passed, but there is not the slightest hint of greenery here.

There are already hunters catching gray rock iguanas in the wilderness. Suldak remembers that at this time last year, Wall Village also began to organize manpower hunting of gray rock iguanas. Villagers don't have time to hunt gray rock iguanas in the wilderness.

After walking for two full days in a row, Surdak finally saw a large gray mountain in front of him at dusk, and finally saw some greenery here.

There are some withered and yellow weeds all over the place.

In the twilight, a large oat field appeared at the foot of the mountain.

There are still a few dilapidated thatched huts over there. There is a lack of supplies here. Only two houses have roofs made of wheat straw. There is a green smoke coming out of one house. A group of refugees gathered there. It seems that it is time for dinner. .

A corner of the wheat field was damaged, and Suldak rode his horse towards the group of refugees.

Those refugees looked at Suldak numbly. Apart from children, there were only some women and old people. They wore tattered linen clothes and grass skirts. Their situation was even worse than that of the natives on the plane. These refugees There were only about fifteen or sixteen of them. They surrounded a clay pot, and when they saw Suldak walk in, they remained silent. Although there was fear in their eyes, they showed no signs of fleeing.

Suldak jumped off his horse and strode over. He glanced at the oatmeal in the crock. There were even some unremoved wheat bran floating on the rolled oatmeal.

"Are you all refugees?"

Suldak asked as he stood in front of the group.

The so-called refugees are people without imperial status, and these people are not protected by imperial laws.

They have nothing, only a little more ridiculous freedom than those slaves.

In the Grimm Empire, there is no real freedom.Those nobles with financial freedom are still bound by family responsibilities, even members of the royal family can't do whatever they want.

"Yes, my lord."

Among the group of people, an old man who seemed to be in good health said to Suldak timidly.

"I heard that you found rebels here?" Suldak asked.

No one answered, and everyone was silent.

The children and women looked a little shivering. The children were all skinny, as if they were spliced ​​together from small bamboo poles, with a big head on top.

The women are also yellow and thin because they are always hungry and hungry, and they don’t look very good. The hard life makes them look much younger than they actually are, and they don’t have a graceful body at all. dark.

"Where are the men?" Surdak asked the old man.

The old man lowered his head and replied in vague words: "They have already run away. We have no strength to run, and we can't run away. We can only guard this piece of oats..."

Suldak looked at the oat field with only a corner destroyed, and didn't ask any more questions.

He also did not continue to stay in refugee gathering places.

Mount your horse and continue your journey towards Death Ridge.

Death Ridge at night, the mountain road is very difficult to walk.

But for Suldak, it wasn't that difficult to walk here, and he didn't go too far, and found a secret crevice between the rocks, where even the man and the war horse were hidden.

In order to have a wider field of vision, Suldak gritted his teeth, took out the last three salamander heads from his magic pocket, arranged a sacrifice ceremony, and exchanged for 'insight' for himself.

In front of the night, it was as if a layer of black veil had been removed by an invisible big hand. Although it looked like there was a heavy smog in front of the eyes, all the scenery within a few kilometers fell into the eyes.

He waited quietly in the crevice of the stone for a while, and then saw a ragged and ragged refugee woman sneaking along this mountain road towards Death Ridge. Her footsteps were flimsy, but her running direction was very clear.

Sure enough, as he expected, some of these refugees had already completely joined the rebel army, which also explained that the rebel army did not wantonly destroy the oat fields after the refugee men ran away. to the last ripening day of the oats.

Suldak calmed the horse, and followed the woman.

The road at night was very difficult, the woman walked for a long time before finally crossing a valley road, and Suldak could see guards patrolling on the rocky cliff from a distance.

If it weren't for the woman to lead the way, it would definitely take a lot of trouble to find out this group of rebels who hid so deeply.

Suldak climbed to the top of the high mountain and found a group of war horses in the valley here, and the temporary camp of the rebel army looked like a cave.

The life of this group of rebels is really hard, there is almost nothing here.

Suldak did not approach the group of rebels, they were very vigilant, and Suldak was worried that if he was discovered, he might be in danger.

Chapter 555 Courage

Rebel guards lead the woman into the cave.

Immediately afterwards, a rebel team searched along the way the woman came. They were dressed in black and almost blended into the night. If you don't look carefully, it's hard to see them.

They did not find Surdak standing on the top of the mountain.

Searched all the way to the oat field at the foot of the mountain, but found no follower, and the rebel reconnaissance team returned the same way.

The woman leaned against the rock wall of the cave, wrapped in a shabby army blanket, drank a glass of cold water to calm down a bit, and then told the news of seeing a fully armed knight in the evening, and even sent Sur The weapons and equipment carried by Dak are described in detail.

Came to Bena Province to cooperate with the mission of the Dark Moon Gate. Cavendish Squadron Captain is the supreme commander of the rebel army. He is sitting opposite the refugee woman at the moment. , he carefully asked about the structure and characteristics of the armor on Suldak's body, and the refugee woman also observed very carefully, describing almost all the details.

However, the more detailed it was, the heavier Cavendish Squadron Captain felt.

Because the person who came turned out to be a Constructed Knight.

Among the rebel army led by him, there are at least 20 people who are qualified to become Constructed Knights, but only he has a complete set of old magic patterns.

For these rebels, the expensive magic pattern structure is almost an untouchable advanced armor.

Cavendish Squadron Captain knew that a set of magic pattern structure would greatly improve the first-rank knights, which also meant that if they were singled out, no one of these subordinates would be able to defeat the structure that Hailansa City came to investigate. knight.

He frowned, and asked again the direction the constructed knight was heading into the mountain.

The vagrant woman only said that it was too dark in the evening, and the knight could not be seen as soon as he entered the mountain.

The twelve squad leaders who received the news gathered around Cavendish one after another.

"Squadron leader, are there any knights from Hailansa City entering the mountain?" A captain named Buddy asked Cavendish. He was an old subordinate of Cavendish. At that time, he was under Cavendish, and later joined the rebel army with Cavendish.

If the coup d'etat is successful, the current Cavendish may be the director of the Sloit City Intelligence Agency, or the commander of the city defense army, but the coup failed and Baron Kai died on the banks of the Galloping Horse. He is just a rebel leader hiding in Tibet.

Originally, it was very hopeful to break through the second rank and become one of the strong ones, but now everything is lost because of the wrong decision at the beginning.

Cavendish nodded, always with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Captain, what should we do?" Buddy held his chest high, and he was always in a high-spirited state no matter what.

For so many years, following him all the way through thorns and thorns, Cavendish Squadron Captain took a look at him and said:

"Clean up, he may not be able to find us so quickly, there must be some refugees who ran out to send a message to the guard camp in Hailansa City, we can no longer wait for the oats to mature, we must harvest those oats overnight, after harvesting these oats Go towards the desert."

"Yes!" Buddy and the other squad leaders took orders at the same time.

Then the squadron leader Cavendish ordered the scout squad leader who was in charge of the scouting mission, and said seriously: "Take someone to scout and see how many troops are around. If only a small team comes, then we will send them out." Eat it before leaving, otherwise there will always be people following us, which is not a good thing."

"Yes, Captain!" The captain of the scout team hurried out of the cave.

The scout team has a total of [-] members, which is the largest number among the rebel teams, almost equivalent to half a squadron, and the members of the scout team are all good at lurking and hiding, but they found a whole team in Death Ridge. That night, the Constructed Knight was not found.

On the contrary, three ghosts were found in the wild. Taking advantage of the fact that these three ghosts had just condensed, the scout team hurriedly summoned people to kill the three ghosts.

……

As the gate of void opened in the room, the breath of countless space cracks continued to spread outward from the magic circle.

The room is Samira's bedroom on the second floor of the security office. Samira and Andrew are waiting in the room.

Aphrodite set up the summoning circle in the room, and was sitting aside.

The thick curtains were tightly shut, and on the table by the window were white bread and jam, and roast lamb.

The barbecue is already cold. This is the food that Samira prepared in advance. In fact, she prepared one last night, but Suldak did not come back.

Suldak walked out of the time-space rift, so many times through the time-space rift of the summoning circle, he was used to the adverse reaction of traveling in different dimensions. He saw that Andrew and Samira were both there, so he asked: " Has Karl rushed to Wall Village with the guard battalion knights?"

Andrew stood up and replied: "Yes, Captain, Squadron Captain Karl has mobilized the knights of the support squadron to rush to Wall Village as the vanguard. Captain Sauron will lead the team to Wall Village tomorrow morning."

Suldak walked to the window, lifted the curtain and looked out, it was pitch black outside.

"Captain, have the rebels found it?" Andrew asked curiously as he stood behind Suldak.

Suldak turned his head, spread a map on the table, and said, "I found it. It is indeed hidden in the Death Ridge in the West Wasteland. If they move, I will mark it along the way."

After finishing speaking, he reached out and picked up a piece of white bread, stuffed it into his mouth, and said while eating:

"This group of rebels is already alert, and it is estimated that they may move at any time. You must move quickly. Here is the map. Follow the route I marked to save time."

Sure enough, there was a clear thin line marked on this parchment sketch.

"Captain, how many people are in this rebel army?" Andrew asked again.

Suldak thought for a while, and found that he really didn't know how many people there were in this group of rebels. If he wanted to find out the exact number, he had to sneak into the cave.

"They are hiding in the cave, and the exact number is currently unavailable."

Andrew asked again: "Is there any magician from the Dark Moon Gate?"

Suldak said: "There was no sign of the magician last night. If there is, I will notify you in time."

After filling his stomach with the food prepared by Samira, Suldak prepared to return to Death Ridge.

Before leaving, Andrew asked Suldak: "Aren't you going to meet Captain Karl?"

Suldak waved his hand, and said casually: "Forget it, Aphrodite, guard Wall Village well, and call me if there is a situation."

Half a foot stepped into the void, and Suldak stopped and asked, "Is Gulitum back?"

Andrew said: "Not yet, the number of salamanders that came out this time is a bit too much..."

Suldak nodded, and only said: "Okay, it's nothing. I went back to monitor those guys. When Gulitum came back, remember to tell that guy to keep all the salamander heads."

"Understood, Captain." The native warrior Andrew watched Suldak disappear into the void again.

Aphrodite yawned and turned to leave Samira's room.

Karl and the knights of the support squadron did not live on the side of the security team, and the house of the security team could not accommodate sixty guard battalion knights anyway, so these guard battalion knights lived temporarily in the row house at the entrance of the village.

Andrew patiently waited until dawn, then ran to the door of Karl's room, and handed the parchment map to Karl.

"Your captain is back?" Karl asked casually.

"No, it's just a message!" The native warriors were red-skinned, and they couldn't tell when they were blushing.

Karl led the support squadron into the barren land first, and headed towards the western barren land along the route marked by Suldak.

Andrew accompanied him, and Samira stayed in Wall Village to wait for Captain Sauron's first brigade.

……

Unexpectedly, the rebel army had such a strong sense of danger, and the reconnaissance team has been looking for his whereabouts in Death Ridge.

All the rebels were dispatched after dawn. They rushed to the oat field at the foot of the mountain, wielding sickles, and snatched back all the half-ripe ears of wheat in the oat field.

The group of refugees hid in the dilapidated houses. The old people, children and women watched the rebels harvest the immature oats in despair. No one dared to stand up to stop them. It had already been negotiated that the oats would be harvested when they were ripe. They will also be given some rations, enough to support them until they walk back to Hailansa City, but now it seems that these crazy rebels have no intention of following the previous agreement at all.

They can only hope that these rebels will drop more ears of wheat in the field when they are cutting the wheat, and after they leave, they will pick up the scattered ears of wheat that fell in the wheat field, so that everyone can pass through this barren land. Wild West.

The old people sat in thatched huts, watching the crops of oats fall, and slowly closed their eyes.

In the evening of the next day, dark red clouds filled the sky.

The wheat field has been harvested by the rebels, but the wheat ears are a little green, and they are still not completely dry after being exposed to the sun for a whole day. Captain Vendish's planned evacuation was delayed for another day.

The rebels couldn't wait for the oats to dry completely, so they could only cut the oats from the stalks and put them hastily into linen bags.

More than 150 horses stood in the dilapidated village waiting at the foot of the mountain. These war horses silently chewed some green oats, each with a bulging belly.
