Chapter 10 (1/2)
”No, let's switch. I'll keep an eye on them. Your eloquence is better than me, and you can run faster than me. Not to mention your identity, it's more suitable for you to move reinforcements.” Marshall put forward his opinions on the division of labor of Sean. Every time, Sean rushed to the front and protected them tightly. It was a little unclear who was the escort.
”You know I can run faster than you.” Sean hammered Marshall's strong chest and said, ”don't worry, how much I cherish my life. You don't know. I won't put myself in a desperate situation until I have to. I want to protect myself from the wind and rain, and make myself strong enough. At that time, even if you want to go back, I will kick you to the front. Don't forget, your future But to be my general, just like Patton. ”
Barton, the head dog, glanced at Marshall lazily, with a human disdain in his eyes, which meant that Marshall was not qualified to be equal with him, which made Marshall have an impulse to hit people.
”All right.” Marshall was a little depressed. In fact, he also knew that Sean was more suitable for investigation than himself, not only because the opponent was faster than himself and had better archery skills, but also because the other side's brain was much better than his own, and he had more skills in solving emergencies than himself. Every time he compared with the other party, it was a process of attacking himself. ”Be careful not to be confused by the hot blood But let's let them out of the mountain, and we'll find another way, and don't do stupid things with no heart. ”
”Don't worry, the people in the world who let me do stupid things have not been born, including you.”
”Although it sounds hurtful, I hope you are telling me the truth.” Marshall said very seriously, ”we always owe you, not you.”
”A bunch of bullshit. Before that, send her to the hunter's hut, and don't let her get into trouble again.” Sean carefully handed little Irina into Marshall's hands, cautiously as if to hand over a priceless diamond.
”Don't worry, she won't have anything. She will grow up strong and become a beautiful woman like her mother.” Marshall replied with a heavy nod.
What he handed over to him was not only a baby girl, but also Sean's emotional sustenance. Although the destruction of the village was not directly related to him, he always felt that he had been able to do something before, instead of doing it, which was a debt to the village.
If it was not for this little life, I don't know what hysterical things Sean would have done if he hadn't been for this little life.
It was seven years ago that Sean was mad last time. They found a cannibal village by accident. After seeing the terrible human relations in it, the village and the mountain forest in the area of more than ten miles turned to ashes that night. Although Sean never said it, Marshall knew it was Sean who did it.
There are only two roads for the slave hunting team to return to the city. The first is to walk westward along the valley for two days, and then turn north for two and a half days. The other is to follow the mountain ridge and go straight north. However, they have to walk one third more than the first road. ”
They should take the first road when they enter the mountain. Only in this way can they hide their traces to the greatest extent. Moreover, the valley is always the most densely populated area of villages, which is convenient for looting.
Now on their return journey, they are 70% likely to take the second road. Although it is not easy to walk on the mountain ridge, they still have to walk more, but their vision is wide and they are not easy to be attacked by stealth.
Tracking is a skill. Even with hounds and hawks around, tracking with direction is more efficient than casting nets all over the sky.
The behavior pattern of the slave hunters didn't jump out of the 70 percent probability. It took Sean only three hours to find them.
The scale of the slave hunting team was larger than Sean expected. Roughly, it was estimated that there was nearly one school guard (one hundred for one guard and three for one school). With the slaves from the hunting, the whole team was more than 700 people. They walked on the mountain ridge with people and horses, and could drag them out half a mile. Even without the help of the hound Mountain Eagle, Sean would soon find them 。
It is not entirely a bad thing that the number of enemies exceeds the original forecast, which will further slow down their march.
Before tracking, the first thing Sean did was to vent the anger he held in his heart. He was already familiar with this. He took a series of self abusive high load exercise and released some hormones in his young body. Naturally, his mood would be controlled by reason. At this time, he was calm and almost cold.
