Chapter 160: Assembly point (1/2)
The settlements of the emigrants are not far from the Baishui River. After crossing the wasteland on the north bank of the Baishui River, they will enter the mountain forest. The displaced people will hide in the mountains and forests, relying on the scarce food in the forest to produce hardships.
The forest is the joint product of the Tanzanite mine and the eastern hilly terrain. The undulating mountain body slows down the wind's power, allowing the seeds of the wind to take root and sprout here, forming an intermittent distribution along the low hillside. Not very dense woodland, and this woodland still has a master a long time ago.
A short-lived "Karg" family briefly became the lord of this woodland and the wasteland on the north bank of the White River, but a plague ended the rule of the family, and that was already a matter of hundreds of years ago, and nature is now thoroughly Evidence of the existence of human civilization, the collapsed castle of the Karg family quietly sleeps behind the hills that do not know, and these mountains and wilderness are too close to the dark mountains, becoming a place where no one is willing to pay attention.
As long as the family along the Dark Mountain Range is destroyed, everyone will agree that it is caused by the curse and chaos of the wasteland, so this land of nowhere is everywhere in the extreme south, although it is far from Andrew Lai. The Viscounti's territory was separated from a tanzanite mine, but the Viscount apparently did not want to send his own people over the vast Mount Tanzan to develop the land opposite the mountain.
The Cecil Warrior is wearing a light-weight enchanted armor that is easy to move. It is equipped with a new type of thermal ray gun and magic energy combat backpack. It follows the previous combat training and walks cautiously and quickly in the forest. They have left the territory one day and one night. I have just had a break and eaten a while ago, and now I am in a state of great mental and physical strength, and the place where the emigrants hide is not far away.
After entering the forest, the horses were difficult to display, so Gao Wen left the car at the moment, and took the horse and the Philip Knight to walk together. Amber was hung on the wide horseback of his "Kriging High Warhorse". Snoring.
The reason why she used "hanging" was because the half-elf lady was not riding well. In order to prevent it from falling off immediately, she used several belts and buckles to fix herself on the saddle. Anyway, she encountered an emergency. You can roll into the shadow at any time, and you are not afraid to be affected by the tie.
A guy with a fairy bloodline can't communicate with a horse. It's really a shame of the elf.
"We are almost here," said the Philip Knight, looking forward. "In fact, there are many settlements in the area, but they are all hidden in places that are extremely difficult to find, but as long as we can find one, it is easy to contact other. of."
Gao Wen nodded slightly, but his brow wrinkled slightly: "In fact, I always feel that this situation is a bit strange."
"Is it strange?" Philip Knight did not understand, "Where is it?"
“Few people will catch slaves after the frosty month, because the temperature will decrease after the frosty month, the farming will stop, and it will not require much labor. On the contrary, most people will enter the state of consuming food. In this case, they will capture the slaves, but they will not be allowed to Working hard, but need to take out the food to support them," Gao Wen shook his head. "Unless it is a mine that is not affected by the season, there is a need for slave labor all year round, but the biggest mine in this area is the Tanzanite mine, the Andrew. The Viscount did not have the intention to increase the slavery recently... and he seems to be disdainful of the act of bringing the refugees into slavery."
"God knows who the mercenaries are collecting," said the Philip Knight. "Maybe it is going to be sold to the central region. There are many mines and merchants there, and the slaves in the central region are expensive. Many people will take risks and buy private." slave'."
Gao Wen was undecided, and soon, a thin **** smell flew into his nostrils.
"Stop!" He immediately waved his hand, and the captains of the soldiers of each squad whispered to stop their team, and everyone was on guard.
Even the amber that was trapped on the horse's back felt the atmosphere change instantly (it was also alert that her alertness was worthy of her lineage, although it looked like it was smashed out), and then she opened her eyes and then opened her eyes. The whole person turned into a shadow and went to the high text: "There is **** smell in front!"
"The Light is on!" The priest Wright immediately drew a sacred mark on his chest. "Someone is bleeding."
The soldiers quickly crossed the trees and bushes under the leadership of Gao Wen, and the situation of the settlements of the displaced people was presented to them.
The mercenaries have already started.
The settlement was surrounded by a circle of broken wood fences and thorns, but apparently failed to withstand the beasts with swords. There were large open spaces between the sparse tents, ** ten rags were described as dry The emigrants were driven to gather in the open space, and more than 20 fully armed mercenaries were divided into two, half of them were guarded at the outskirts of the camp, and the other half were swordsmen facing the crowds who gathered. A man in a black half body armor walked up and down in front of these poor people who were about to become slaves, whispering something.
On the open space around them, you can see seven or eight dead bodies smashing on the ground, all of which were hacked to death. Obviously, at the initial moment when the mercenaries attacked the camp, some people made a short revolt, but this resistance Destroyed like a thunder, those bodies that were cut into pieces on the spot effectively prevented the rebellion from escalating and the situation out of control.
“The equipment is really good,” Gao Wen said while analyzing. “And half of them are mixed with civilians. Once the battle begins, they are likely to use civilians as hostages...”
