Chapter 602 Gravel Valley
Although the female lord was eager to rescue people, she did not relax her vigilance. She asked Greta to set aside a group of rats to guard the surroundings of the army. In addition, Li Yu also asked a group of black dog guards to deliberately fall behind and secretly release drones for reconnaissance.
However, the journey was unexpectedly smooth and there was no danger at all. It was not until we were approaching the valley that we bumped into some savage spies.
Moreover, those guys were very timid. They just watched the movements of the army from a distance and ran away without waiting for anyone to get close.
Ilea was too lazy to chase them. Her attention was now on the two mountains opposite.
From the news brought back by the mice, the female lord learned that enemies were ambushing there, probably waiting for them to enter the valley and launch an attack.
The terrain there is also very suitable for setting up an ambush. It is thought that this is how Marquis Cullen and the others were trapped in the valley.
As a result, the female lord became more and more cautious and ordered the army to stop advancing, and Li Yu released a drone to conduct reconnaissance.
However, due to the darkness of the night and the obstruction of the trees, the drone could not fully see the scene on the mountain.
The female lord hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to wait one more night, wait for the sun to rise early tomorrow morning, and figure out how many people were hiding on the mountain before deciding whether to launch an attack and how to launch an attack.
At the same time, it also allowed the army that had been traveling all day to rest for a night and recover some strength for the upcoming battle.
At Duren's suggestion, Miss Rabbit selected a small mound with a relatively wide view and a certain height outside the valley as a temporary camp.
In addition, the female lord did not forget about Marquis Cullen and his 10,000 horses who had been besieged for more than 20 days, and decided to send a small team to escort a batch of grain into the valley.
This task is still dangerous, but many people still stepped forward and volunteered to deliver food.
Miss Rabbit finally chose "Silver Pine" Tog from the Norvos family among several candidates.
His only son went on an expedition with Marquis Cullen. In order to find his son, Tog, who will celebrate his 219th birthday next month, personally led the army this time.
The female lord handed sixteen carriages filled with bread and water to the white-haired Yinsong. The latter said nothing, just nodded to the girl, and hurriedly took the people on the road.
Miss Rabbit later called Tom and asked him if there were any new tricks on the big hand, but she got a negative answer.
Ilea was a little surprised, because they had already arrived outside the valley, and it stands to reason that there should be some reaction from inside.
The female lord has prepared a very "valuable" piece of information for the big hand, but the latter is so calm now, which makes it difficult for Miss Rabbit to send this information out.
After all, it is impossible for the female lord to point a gun at Big Hand's head and ask him to report news to the dwarves and savages on the mountain.
However, the situation on the mountain has not been fully understood yet, and Miss Rabbit has not yet made much use of the chess piece in her hand.
Although she had made adequate preparations, the female lord was still a little nervous as she was about to face the first battle in her life, and Li Yu was getting off work at that time.
Even though the prophet of Shuangxiu Cult had made arrangements before leaving and left a lot of manpower and sacred weapons for her, Miss Rabbit still felt unsure.
He could still maintain his composure as a coach in front of outsiders, but when he returned to the tent, he couldn't sleep at all. He kept pacing there and couldn't help but want to bite his fingernails.
So she began to pray again, hoping that there would not be so many enemies on the mountain, so that she could successfully rescue Marquis Cullen and the people in the valley tomorrow.

Red Beard and Iron Spear couldn't sleep at the moment, so they gathered together and talked quietly.
Iron Spear asked curiously, "Did those Imperial people travel all day just to get to Gravel Valley?"
After she finished speaking, she noticed that Red Beard's eyes flashed.
"Wait a minute, is this where the dwarves set up an ambush?" Iron Spear immediately nodded with a look of surprise, "Indeed, this is quite suitable for an ambush."
"There are cliffs on three sides, and only one can get out. And as long as people are trapped, there is no need to do anything. Just pushing rocks from the mountain can kill everyone below.
"I remember that two hundred years ago, there was a tribe called the Long Neck. They moved to live in that valley. As a result, a heavy rain caused the entire tribe to be buried by rocks and mud falling from the mountain. After that, no one wanted to go there anymore. .”
Redbeard didn't hide it anymore, "Yes, those dwarves tricked the old guy with the hair on his ears and his people into the Gravel Valley."
"But it seems that the Imperial people won't be fooled again this time." Iron Spear was a little gloating.
She has never liked those dwarfs, they are too insidious. Even though they have been preparing for so long and have superior strength, they are not willing to go head-to-head with those imperial people. They only play these little plots.
Now that their plan was thwarted, they just watched the fun and didn't mind the matter.
But Redbeard shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. Those dwarves have more and more evil intentions, and they are secretive even to our allies. No one knows what their real plan is except themselves. ”
"It doesn't matter. It seems that they are going to fight tomorrow. How are your preparations? Has the spy figured out how to secretly let us go? If we don't leave, we will really be chopped down with a sword. Lost my head.”
"He said... he is already thinking of a solution, but it will take some time." Redbeard said vaguely, "The main reason is that we are being watched very closely now."
"He did agree to help us, right?" Iron Spear frowned.
"Of course."
"What benefits did you promise him? We don't have anything valuable on us."
"I am the future Utu of the tribe. I don't need to use real money to buy people."
"So he believed you so easily, and you guys haven't even met before?"
"This is a promise between a man and a man. What do you, a woman, know?" Redbeard became angry when asked.
Iron Spear gave him a strange look, "I'm just asking, why are you so anxious? Do you want me to hug you again?"
"No. No! Don't do this kind of behavior in front of other people in the future. It damages my dignity." Red Beard warned.
"Okay, if you don't plan to run away now, then I'll sleep for a while first." Iron Spear said.
And just as she finished saying this, she heard the sound of horse hooves, accompanied by the shouts of some Imperial people.
Iron Spear and Red Beard couldn't understand what the Imperial people were saying. They only knew that they kept repeating one sentence, with a sad tone, full of endless sorrow and anger.
There was a bug in the first chapter yesterday and I was confused. Thank you everyone for reminding me. It has been corrected.
