Chapter 14: Tailing
Annan did not venture too long before he heard the galloping sound co from a distance
That noise was relatively far frohtly, stopped slowly, and hid
In front of hihtly steep slope with sparse pine family on both sides To return to the beach where Anan first woke up, it would take about a ten-minute journey to the east from this slope
Annan deliberately avoided the trail without plants to hid himself in the natural environht and cli a sound On the short section of the road closest to the top, the slope see as a trekking pole, Annan cliainst a crooked tree, fixed his back with it, and looked to the other side of the hill
He saw a sh it was not wide, it would at least fit up to five horses galloping altogether
More than a dozen horses were galloping from south to the north
Fortunately, Annan’s location was not a cliff but a hillside The terrain on the other side was even lower than Annan’s standing spot
Probably because they didn’t expect that someone would be at the top of the hillside before the sunrise, none of the horseroup of people isn’t any kind soul
Annan squinted his icy blue eyes slightly, observed them quietly, and counted their numbers
There were a total of fourteen people One earing half-bodytan and shabby leather ar around their waists and a small wooden shi+eld on their left ar behind their backs The leader carried a polearht hand The polearm was similar to a pike but with a hook at the front part
For the two people beside hihtly
He saw that the two uns on their backs A few others were carrying strong shi+elds behind their backs
They are well-ar?
Annan saw the nautical chart in the captain’s room once
Don Juan and their shi+p sailed to the north
Specifically, from the mainland’s southeast coast, they came from the 5 o’clock direction and eventually shi+fted to the 2 o’clock direction
They were initially scheduled to dise Water Port, which was the position at 2 o’clock on the south side of an incurved inland sea The location of Chilly Austere Dukedom was on the north side of the inner sea
So after recalling the nautical chart, Annan idom’s situation
The inland sea had separated the two countries, with each occupying one side It was fair even to say that both countries had their port facing each other directly
It will be weird if they don’t get into a war
The continent in front of Annan permitted the travel between the north and the south This probably meant that the north end of the road was the destination of his trip
Young Master Don Juan’s new territory – Freezing Water Port in the North Sea Territory
Those six people appear like bandits and robbers
Thinking of this, Annan trotted off the slope lightly and slid down
He took a close look at the road and quickly spotted a few apparent ruts
“A convoy passed by here not long ago”
Annan ot the news and learned that a convoy was stopping here They ca the distance, theythe news
Holding the idea that Don Juan’s things were his possessions, Annan quickly for Water Port is my territory, so the resident’s property is my property too
Hence, those bandits are robbing my stuff!
Annan was exasperated
Without thinking for too long, Annan decided to tail the group
“After getting all my items stolen and exiled from my hometown, you dare to break into my territory You must have a deathwish!+”
