Lord Highlander

  Chapter 285 284. Grand Canyon

Suldak saw the old village chief in the largest stone house in Digo Village. A group of middle-aged and elderly people were pointing around the sand table on the table. However, they were not commanders in the army and could find robbers on the sand table. The general activity area of ​​​​the regiment is already remarkable.

  Behind the group of village chiefs stood a row of young men and women, and these people were also attentively listening to the discussions of the village chiefs.

Seeing Suldak walking in wearing a monster leather armor, these young men and women looked over in surprise. The group of village chiefs also noticed the commotion behind them. Erdak was also a little surprised.

  Among this group of village chiefs, apart from Uncle Brett, Suldak also knows the village chief of Guta Village.

He is looking around at this stone house, which is more magnificent than any stone house in Wall Village. The whole room has a very high shelf, a pointed roof, and the tripod on the roof is very thick. The walls are painted with white lime, which makes people feel uncomfortable. The inside of the room looks very bright, except for a large stone paved floor, there is only a large round table in the room, which looks like a meeting place.

  One of the gray-bearded old men stood out from the crowd and asked Surdak respectfully:

   "My lord knight, what is your business here?"

  The head of Guta Village recognized Suldak at a glance, and hurried to the old man's ear, and whispered a few words.

The old man nodded slightly, and the village chief Bright explained: "Ahem, before I came, all the strong labor force in the village went into the mountains, and only Suldak was in the village to deal with emergencies. This time the search for the bandit group Let him join the event, he has just returned from participating in the plane war, and he has very rich combat experience."

"Bright, your Wall village is really amazing. A knight came out of the village. With the care of this young knight, your village will gradually get better!" Some of the people in the crowd were very familiar with Uncle Brett. The village chiefs said one after another.

  The first old man to stand up was the village head of Digo Village, and he was the only one who was most familiar with the Grand Canyon.

Seeing that the crowd gradually quieted down, he said: "Okay, let's continue talking about the Grand Canyon. I'm going to split up two teams. One team will enter the Grand Canyon from the front and search along the way. The other team will go around the canyon all the way. In the past, it took about 20 kilometers of mountain roads to find another entrance to the Grand Canyon, but the entrance there has already penetrated into the Pagolos Mountain, and there are many wild beasts there, and wolves often come and go. The team on the other side of the canyon must have rich hunting experience."

   Some impatient village chiefs interjected below: "We'd better act quickly, if we're later, I'm afraid that group of robbers would have left the Grand Canyon long ago!"

   "Okay, let me make a long story short..." Village Chief Digo rubbed his forehead helplessly.

  …

Suldak was assigned to the first group. There were twenty-five people in the group, all of whom were young men and women who had never joined the army. In addition to the twenty-one young men, there were also four young girls with hunting bows on their backs. Seeing that they were wearing hunter's attire, Suldak could tell that they had some hunting experience.

  The first group had to enter the front of the Grand Canyon, and walked southwest along a river in the canyon. It took nearly a day to walk out of the canyon.

Suldak followed the first group into the canyon. Sure enough, as Uncle Brett said, there was no wind outside the canyon. As soon as he entered the Grand Canyon, he felt strong winds blowing in front of him. Flowing in the Grand Canyon, looking up to see the mill windmill protruding from the top of the cliff, four huge sail-like fan blades are slowly turning, which makes Suldak curious, what is the big windmill of the mill? How it was built on the cliffs of the canyon.

   A group of people walked into the canyon against the strong wind, and Suldak did not ride a horse this time.

He is not very familiar with the complex environment from here to the canyon, and he is worried that the complex terrain will cause unnecessary damage to the horse's hooves. The other twenty-five people in the first group did not ride horses, so Suldak decided to follow the first group. A small group hikes into the Grand Canyon.

The first team included young people from Digo Village. They were very familiar with the Grand Canyon. After walking a few kilometers northwest along the river at the bottom of the canyon, they found a camp in front of a river beach. Some leftover fish bones and sheep bones were scattered on the river beach, and the goat skin that Village Chief Digo said was no longer here.

The bonfire ignited at the river beach camp was some chestnut tree branches. The bandits actually carried some firewood with them for making a fire. The camp here was discovered this morning, but it is already afternoon. Leaving, leaving the Grand Canyon directly, I am afraid that he should have left safely from the other end of the canyon by this time.

   It is not yet known what these robbers have in mind, and the patrol team is going to follow this clue to pursue it, because this bandit group has already threatened Digo Village and some nearby natural villages.

  Suldak knew in his heart that these bandits were probably still looking for Selina's whereabouts. Since they were capable of razing a noble manor to the ground, it shouldn't be difficult to loot nearby natural villages.

  A young man following Suldak asked, "Master Knight, I heard that you participated in the war of planes?"

  He looks very young and doesn't understand how cruel war is.

Suldak nodded, and responded: "Yes! The Warsaw plane." He was looking at the rock walls on the left and right sides of the valley. The rock walls on both sides of this grand canyon are full of horizontal lines, like It is stacked on top of each other like pages of a book, which is very unique.

Unexpectedly, someone behind him was talking to him. Surdak turned his head and saw a young man in a leather vest and linen bloomers, holding a dung fork in his hand. Erdak behind.

  Seeing that Suldak had an easy-going personality, the young man chased after him and asked, "Then what aspects do you think you need to pay attention to in the army?"

  Looked at him again, and guessed that he was probably at the age of military service and had an inexplicable fear of the imperial army, so he had the courage to ask these questions.

Suldak felt that it was necessary to tell this inexperienced rookie some of the attempts in the barracks. Although he didn't expect him to remember it all at once, at least it could subtly make him somewhat correct about the army. cognition.

  So Suldak said: "There are many things to pay attention to in the army..."

  Suldak talked a lot, and the young man listened very carefully.

In this way, I didn't know how far I had walked in the canyon, and suddenly I heard the guide of Digo Village walking in front shouting loudly: "Everyone, come and see, there are footprints here, those robbers must have left from the other side of the Grand Canyon. "

  The villagers on the side also couldn't understand, and complained: "I really don't understand, why do these robbers go to our backcountry to rob? Do they think that we villagers are very rich?"
