For them, I believe in superior firepower

Chapter 22 All the way south

Winter Abbey is just south of the Snowfield.

"Xia En, what is the relationship between you and the Holy Maiden..." Li Wei leaned on the galloping horse, but still couldn't help asking Xia En.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he sensed that something was wrong behind him.

Not only him, but even Shane and Meric, who were galloping with their horses, couldn't help reacting and looked back.

Not far away, at the location of the original monastery, there was a brilliant golden beam of light rising into the sky, which was still extremely dazzling in the snowy and windy environment.

"This..." Li Wei looked at the beam of light and couldn't help opening his mouth.

Then I ate a lot of snowflakes.

Merici glanced back, wanted to concentrate on riding, but couldn't help but said, "Mistress Saintess wants to expose her position and attract those 'guests' from the capital."

Xia En nodded slightly, but did not speak.

What Meric said was correct. Oliveira did this to distract those people's attention, so that he, an ability user of the "civilization" path, would not be noticed.

But in this way, her situation will be even more difficult...

For a moment, he only felt a little sad in his heart.

"Xia En, since it is the Holy Maiden's wish for you to reach the Rebel Army safely, then fulfilling the order and not letting her worry is the most important thing to do right now."

As if noticing Shane's depression, Meric's voice sounded beside him.

"That's right." Xia En forced a smile and suppressed his thoughts.

As for Li Wei, after calming down for a while, he brought up the question again, "Xia En, what is the relationship between you and the Holy Maiden? Why did she do this?"

He didn't hesitate to expose himself and make such a big commotion...

Xia En didn't answer him directly, "Will you walk with me in the future?"

"what?"

"If you don't come with me, why am I telling you? Waiting for you to sell the answer as information?"

Li Wei simply shut up.

……

When traveling in the white snow field, the time scale is always easy to blur.

And the three of Xia En are all capable people, and their ability to adapt to the external environment is much stronger, so the concept of time did not reappear until night, when the day gradually darkened.

"Merich, how far have we traveled since morning?" When Xia En asked, there were already many snowflakes on his face.

On the contrary, because of the cloak on his body, he didn't look so embarrassed.

"We set off at seven o'clock in the morning, and now the sun is setting, it's around five o'clock in the evening..." Meric thought for a while, and probably gave a number, "At least two hundred miles."

"What about the rebel army?" Li Wei couldn't help asking.

"There are a lot of them, and their speed is much slower. It's good if they can walk a hundred miles a day." Meric continued to answer, "If there are no accidents, we will be able to catch up with them from noon to afternoon the day after tomorrow."

"It's really fast." Xia En nodded thoughtfully, then looked up at the sky, "But in places like the northern border... we can't drive in the dark, so where should we camp at night?"

"According to the plan of the knights of Meric to drive at full speed, we should be able to reach Cedar Town at night." This time, it was Li Wei who spoke, "Cedar Town is more than 200 miles southwest of the monastery."

No wonder Merici had to go at full speed, otherwise he would be in serious trouble if he couldn't reach the town before dark.

Shane couldn't help but nodded.

However, Cedartown...

This name somewhat made him miss it.

Because this town should be regarded as his "novice village" for a week, and Xia En has spent a lot of time here.

Going there now would be considered a revisit of the old place.

And soon, after crossing the large snowfield, the cedar forest that came into view in the distance further revived Xia En's impression of this town.

……

But when Xia En fell into memory, someone was whispering in the cedar forest.

"Boss, should we call it a day? If we go back late, everyone will be frozen to death!" The speaker took a pair of bows and arrows, and was wearing fairly thick clothes, but he looked very uncoordinated.

The trousers on the lower body looked dark, even tattered, but the clothes on the upper body were a bit luxurious, and even looked like new clothes.

"It's almost there, but we have to wait." The boss yawned and looked into the distance again, "Berryman, that adult in our camp is not easy to fool."

"Yes, the boss is right..." Berryman responded again and again, but his eyes kept looking left and right until he noticed three white horses galloping in the distance.

"Hey, boss, look over there!"

"Huh? Heading to Cedar Town so late?" The boss looked at the three riders, "The horse looks pretty good, but I don't know if there is anything valuable on it..."

"Yeah, yes, yesterday those guys robbed the entire convoy, but they made the brothers below go crazy!" Berryman echoed.

"Forget it, frogs, poisonous snakes are all meat, and whichever bite you eat is not food." The boss spat, "Greeting brothers, put the guy in the spotlight, and aim the bow, arrow and musket for me!"

"Yes, I'll go right away!" Berryman hurriedly responded, and stooped to the side.

The boss crouched on the spot, watching the three figures gradually approaching, thinking constantly in his mind.

In the convoy hijacked by Hawkeye Manson and his gang yesterday, there were people who were very important to the lord in the camp.

However, because there were several capable users in the convoy, Manson and his gang didn't dare to force them directly, fearing that the casualties would be too great, so they let many of them escape.

But after returning to the camp, he just stopped the convoy and caught four or five people, but he was rewarded heavily by that adult!

God is sorry, Hawkeye Manson's subordinates are so weak, just because of this shit luck, maybe he can turn over and become a big boss like himself!
Damn, how could I, Garen, not be so lucky!
Only one was caught this afternoon, although there were three tonight, but these three horses were stuffed into the camp, and there was not even enough space between their teeth!
After the curse in his heart passed, the boss who was usually called "Rigid Garon" finally put away his grievances, watched his confidant Berryman rush back, and made a "ready" gesture to him.

"Woooo, umm!" Just as Garen was about to give an order, a struggling voice suddenly came from beside him.

"I've suffered so much, I'm not being honest!" Garen was furious for a moment, and kicked him.

The captive, whose hands were tied with ropes and whose mouth was stuffed with sackcloth, rolled around a few times, his chest heaving violently, and a look of despair appeared in his eyes.

It doesn't matter if he dies, but if the message can't reach Cedar Town, then he can't even close his eyes at death.
