Chapter 587 589. Time difference
Stewart's scout team returned near noon, and they brought back rumors and news on the road.
“We can go northeast.”
This knight, who is younger than Lan En when he first came to this world, reported calmly while eating rough and dry food. .
He even swallowed a strand of black and gold hair beside his ear into his mouth.
"To the west is the coastline. We saw in the dark that the Nilfgaardians were frequently mobilizing troops there. I guess they were preparing for the plunder of King Bran of the Skellige Islands."
" The deceased King Tursek was the brother of King Bran. The old man was furious after losing his brother. Rumor has it that he even wanted to go directly along the river to plunder the Golden Tower City."
< br>"If King Bran didn't have this temper, then he wouldn't be able to suppress the other families on the Skellige Islands."
Haxor poured a glass of water for his son, Keep the food in his throat smooth.
“Those who have no talent will be cast aside by the islanders. Even for his own prestige, King Bran must take revenge. What’s more, the relationship between the two brothers is really good.”
He is very aware of this kind of family affairs between the royal family, after all, he was in charge of this before.
I am talking about this now mainly to explain clearly to everyone who is listening. Prove that your actions are logical and trustworthy.
At least, the merchants and mercenaries next to Lan En nodded with conviction.
In this case, the general direction of heading northeast in order to escape from the battlefield of Sintra has been decided.
The next step is to rely on the scouts' intensive attendance, detecting news and road conditions, to escort the specific itinerary.
It is foreseeable that this will be a job that is so hard that life would be worse than death.
But looking at Stuart's meaning, he will accept his father's delegation calmly as always.
“I still have a question.”
Lan En raised his hand on the side, and everyone present looked at him.
Because Lan En looked at Stuart when he spoke, the young knight knew that he was going to ask him, so he continued to eat while raising his head towards Lan En.
At this juncture, in fact, everyone present except Haxo didn't care much about etiquette.
"We just killed that special force in the morning. They are indeed a group of highly skilled elites as we suspected."
Others were a little relieved when they heard this. feeling.
After all, it was a force that could easily kill all six search teams on horseback. With such a thing hanging around, they wished they could sleep with one eye open.
Now that they are dead, that would be great.
But Lan En still kept speaking at a gentle pace.
“This is not only a good thing, everyone.”
“We have eliminated the threats that linger around us, providing us with protection for the rest of our march. But at the same time, we have also briefly Exposed its own existence."
"That elite team is not just any patrol team or security team, but even the most basic patrol team and security team must report the situation to the military center regularly."< br>
"Before, they only intercepted and killed the teams that were sent out to search for supplies. At most, they thought there was a group of refugees here. But now, they died here, which means that there is a threat here that can be called 'The power of'
As Lan En narrated, people's originally relaxed eyes became tense.
At the last moment, these people were smiling and even grateful because Lan En helped them eliminate the threats around them.
But the next moment, when they knew that the move to eliminate the threat would bring about a greater threat, the eyes looking at Lan En turned out to be filled with complaints.
No one can leave without clearing out that special force, so we must take action. These people know it very well. But human sensibility will not be curbed by reason.
Their fear of the Nilfgaardian army would make them complain about anyone who attracts attention, which is natural.
Lan En's expression did not change due to other people's reactions.
To be honest, he had anticipated the entire process.
It’s just that he doesn’t care what these people think of him. He always does what he wants to do.
"You have been on this battlefield much longer than I have, and I want to hear your opinion, Mr. Stewart."
"How long do you think it will take for the news of the annihilation of that elite force to reach the Nilfgaardian army? This is related to our itinerary."
If you don't want to be transferred by the Nilfgaardian army If you surround them, you can only leave the area before they can react.
Stuart’s mouth became slower when chewing the food, and it was obvious that he was also thinking seriously.
“We once defeated a Nilfgaardian patrol, and it was nearly two weeks before their army responded. After all, the situation was chaotic, and there was no chaos in the country of Cintra. Monsters are roaming around, and the bloody smell of war will attract a large number of monsters.”
The response speed of two weeks is indeed a good result for an army fighting an invasion war in a foreign country. .
"How did you handle those corpses?"
"Very clean."
Stewart nodded and continued: "Considering that they are elite troops, we will report them to the superiors. Increase the frequency by one-third, just increase it by half!”
“In one week, we must leave this area!”
Stewart will have nothing left on his hands. After finishing the food, he got up and walked towards the war horse.
"Thank you for your help, Master Demon Hunter. We will find a way out."
To increase the speed of travel, it is unrealistic to rely on the speed of these refugees who don't even have enough to eat.
Then the scouts can only work overtime to find an easy and safe way.
At the same time, this also means that the scouts who go out to explore will be more exposed, and the risk of being discovered by the Nilfgaardians greatly increases.
In fact, all the twenty horses brought back by Lan En and the others last night were dispatched this morning.
And until now, only eighteen horses have returned.
One morning, two cavalrymen died outside.
It was clearly a clear day outside the woods, but the Nilfgaardians used their army to turn it into an abyss that swallowed life.
There is nothing more to say.
To survive in a war zone, all you have to fight for is time.
You can survive if you move before being discovered, and you can survive if you move before being surrounded.
Otherwise, you will be beaten hard, and then someone will die.
Who can guarantee that he will not be the dead person in the next sudden conflict?
Even a demon hunter will die if he is hit by a stray arrow in a tense and noisy large-scale melee.
