Three days later, Emerald Mountains. Herage and his party were riding horses on the mountain road. At the end of the team was a carriage containing supplies. It had just rained lightly in the mountains, and clouds and mist were lingering in the mountains. It was now sunset, and Emil rode ahead, looking around for suitable camping spots. Herage was in the middle of the team, and a map in his field of vision was constantly improving. Everywhere he passed, he let Deep Blue record it. Combined with existing maps, a more complete map is taking shape.
The Pumpkin Farm is an important crop producing area in Baron's Barony. It grows a variety of crops and is located on the west side of the Emerald Mountains. Baron Buck's castle is located on the right side of the Emerald Mountains, and they need to cross the Emerald Mountains to reach the pumpkin farm.
"Let's spend the night in this cave tonight."
Emil found a quite spacious cave ahead. There was some kind of animal hair in the cave, and there was dried animal excrement at the door of the cave. This is obviously a den for bears and other animals, but Emil and others don't care about this. The bears only come to bring furs. The horses were all tied up in the woods nearby, letting them graze and rest by themselves. The carriage stopped in front of the cave, forming a simple fortification. The group of people also started to get busy, and a bonfire was lit at the entrance of the cave. Herage was responsible for taking the food from the carriage and curing meat, potatoes, tomatoes and other vegetables. A large pot was quickly hoisted above the bonfire, and bacon and other food were thrown in one after another. This is how they eat outside these days, stewed in a pot. A rack was quickly erected next to the bonfire, where the guards hung their wet clothes to dry.
"Oh! Jimmy! Put away your damn socks! How many times have I told you not to bake socks while cooking! Do you want to eat bacon that smells like your smelly socks!"
The bearded guard named Hagen sniffed his nose, turned around and saw a pair of stinky socks hanging on the clothes drying rack, and immediately roared.
"Hehe." Jimmy put away the socks sheepishly and hung them to dry outside the cave. Seeing that the time was almost up, Herage walked over to the cauldron and opened the lid. The strong fragrance exploded, filling the entire cave and spreading into the gradually darkening forest outside.
"It's time to eat!"
Herage shouted, and the guards lying and sitting in the cave came over with their own iron lunch boxes. None of them did anything, they just stared at the meat in the pot and swallowed their saliva, waiting for Emil vegetables into the lunch box, scooped out some soup, then sat at the entrance of the cave and ate by himself, looking outside the cave not knowing what he was thinking. As soon as Emil left, the remaining people became rude and scrambled for me to grab the meat in the pot, which was quickly gone. Herage has already had experience, and with Deep Blue's assistance, he could grab meat accurately and quickly. There was no entertainment after dinner, the group chatted around the campfire for a while and then went to sleep. They can only sleep with half of their armor unarmed, keeping their weapons and armor beside them to ensure that they can enter combat status as soon as possible if something happens. Herage stayed vigil tonight, sitting by the bonfire and always paying attention to what was going on around him. Since there was no dry wood in the mountains after it had just rained, Herage went to the carriage to get some stored dry firewood. The bonfire must not be extinguished throughout the night. Nearby beasts will automatically retreat when they see the flames, which can save a lot of trouble. It was late at night, and it started to rain lightly again in the mountains. Herage glanced at the time in his field of vision, it was one o'clock in the morning. Based on daily observations, the Deep Blue Chip discovered that a day in this world also has about 24 hours. Herage asked Deep Blue to calibrate the time according to the twenty- four-hour clock in his previous life. The cold wind blew into the cave, and the bonfire made a popping sound, and the flames danced with the wind. The cold wind blew away Herage's sleepiness. He stared at the lightless mountain forest outside the cave. There was nothing unusual in the small dark blue map. The original observation range of the dark blue mini map was ten meters. After Herage's physical fitness was greatly improved, the mini map can display the nearby animals and plants within a range of 100 meters. At the same time, in the distant jungle, a group of people were approaching the cave in the dark. The sound of mountain rain covered up the sound of their advancing footsteps, and because they were careful enough, it was difficult to be noticed under the cover of darkness. After they got a little closer to the cave, the three leaders made a gesture, and the people behind them immediately divided into two teams, lurking from the left and right wings to approach the cave, while the remaining three continued to lurk and approach from the front. Herage sat at the entrance of the cave, sticking to his post, with the small dark blue map always open in his field of vision.
"Um?" He suddenly saw an additional red dot on the mini-map, in the woods to the left of the cave entrance, followed by eight more red dots entering the mini-map. At the same time, a group of people also walked in on the right, the number was nine, the same as on the left. Herage immediately pulled out his long sword and warned in a low voice:
"Enemy attack!"
Emil slept in the deepest part of the cave. He woke up before Herage's sword was drawn out, and quickly put on his armor. The others also acted very quickly and all woke up.
"There are a group of people on the left and right approaching here quickly, and there are three people approaching here from the front of the cave entrance!"
Herage quickly described the current situation. Emil didn't ask him how he knew this. He walked to the bonfire and kicked over the cauldron, and the bonfire was immediately extinguished by the soup. He turned back and said:
"Everyone, follow me and break through from the right side!"
Their horses are in the woods on the right. Without knowing the strength of the opponent, it is a good choice to ride away from the dangerous area first. Herage and the others nodded in unison and followed Emil out of the cave.
"Damn it! Don't let Emil escape!"
One of the three leaders, who was carrying a sword, roared angrily. The movement here was obviously noticed by people outside, and they knew they were exposed the moment the bonfire went out. Whoosh! A round of bows and arrows quickly hit the cave, most of which were blocked by the carriage. The Emil was also attacked in the woods on the right, but because it was dark, no one was hit by arrows. Herage noticed that this group of people were hiding in the woods and did not choose to confront them head-on. Everyone on the other side was carrying a bow and arrow.
"They're here! Come here quickly!"
The other party noticed that Emil and others immediately began to report their location. Herage saw from the small map that another group of people had surrounded them, and the three leaders were approaching at an extremely fast speed. Such fast speed must be official knights, they must break out from the right side as soon as possible.
"Deep Blue, turn on aiming assist."
Herage hid behind a tree to avoid the arrows. At the same time, he bent his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at the enemy in the forest ahead. Others can't see it, but he can. With Deep Blue's help, he could still see everything around him clearly in the dark night, and he could also see the people hiding behind the trees.
