MTL - Lord Highlander-Chapter 75 74. Death Quest
Chapter 75 74. Death mission
It was extremely hot, and after only a few steps, the linen shirt was wet and stuck to the body.
The humidity in the mountains is very heavy, thick fog rolls over, and the hot wind carries rain.
In the distance, it was all gray, and the bobcat whimpered from dozens of feet away, but I heard it but couldn't see it.
After entering Ganda Er Mountain, I realized that the road here is not as easy as that of the forest farm. To be precise, there is no road at all.
The team walking in the front forcibly split the bushes and weeds blocking the front with a hatchet, which can be regarded as opening a way for the large troops behind.
Entering the rolling mountains, the ridges are high and steep, and some places suddenly form fractures, and the bottom is a rocky abyss. Both sides are covered with shrubs, and thatch and thorny vines are coiled around each other, making it airtight.
Sometimes when you encounter a cliff, you have to advance along the mountain road under the cliff. There are cliffs on the inside and deep valleys on the outside. The narrow road is full of heavy armored infantry soldiers. Everyone is crowded together, unable to move forward, and there is no way step back.
The mountain road is far more difficult than expected before. It is actually quite easy for a five-person scout team to pass through this cliff, but once the large troops are crowded here, even if the people in front take a step slower, they will pass through the cliff. Later, there will be a blockage for a period of time.
Red Sock untied the water bottle from his waist, took a sip, handed it to He Boqiang in front of him, and said, "Save your drink, I don't know how long you'll have to wait on this plank road. The weather is so humid in this **** weather." , still dying of thirst.”
He Boqiang patted the copper kettle on his waist, indicating that there were still many in it.
He Boqiang cut off a section of Moso bamboo from the side of the cliff, and cut it into a smooth bamboo stick with a few simple strokes, and put it under the tent bag carried by Red Sock. You need to lean your body against the cliff, and with the support of bamboo sticks, you can rest comfortably for a while.
In this way, even if the team moves forward immediately, there is no need to prepare for the burden, and the pat on the **** can continue to move forward.
"You still have more ideas!" Red Socks praised He Boqiang.
He Boqiang walked to the edge of the cliff and saw a dense forest growing out of the steep **** under his feet. If he accidentally slipped and fell, he would not fall to his death, but those thorny vines and dead branches would trap people in the dense forest. It is definitely not an easy task to climb up from below.
The road under the feet is very muddy. After the soldiers in front trampled down the weeds, muddy water seeped out, and when they stepped on it, the accumulated water between the grass roots would submerge the shoe uppers.
This time, half of the soldiers in the second team carried hatchets, and the other half carried logging axes. Everyone needed to cut a forest road for the cavalry to pass through on the gentle mountain.
A sound of horse bells came from the mist, and it didn't take long for Baron Sidney to come up from behind on his horse. The soldiers all pressed their bodies against the cliff and made way for Baron Sidney to pass by. Go ahead and see what happened.
Not long after, an order from the Earl came from the front, and the infantry regiment camped in place for the night.
There is no space for tents on the narrow mountain road. Fortunately, some time ago, after hunting the red-eyed hyena crazily, Suldak distributed a dog-skin sleeping bag to each of the soldiers of the second team. This kind of hyena leather is extremely waterproof. Strong, even if it is paved on a mountain road where water can come out with one foot, it will not be damp if it is paved for the whole interior.
Red Socks unloaded the large backpack behind him, and then spread out the sleeping bag on the mountain path that was only a few feet wide, and tied the rope on the sleeping bag to the tree vines protruding from the cliff, so as not to turn over in his sleep , will roll off the cliff.
The soldiers of other teams looked at the dog skin sleeping bags of the second team with envious eyes.
He Boqiang didn't sleep well at night. He suffered from insomnia all night. He finally felt a little drowsy. As soon as he fell asleep, he was woken up by the red socks. He looked at the sky full of stars with a dazed expression on his face.
"The order came from the front, ready to go at any time..." Red Socks explained to He Boqiang
Suldak distributed a piece of toasted wheat cake to each of the soldiers in the team, and filled their stomachs with cold water in the kettle to complete their breakfast.
When it was just dawn, the soldiers of the second team were already on their way out.
When passing through a narrow mountain road, I found that there were obvious signs of fighting here, and the smell of blood in the air had not dissipated, and no casualties of infantry soldiers could be seen. The corpses of the decapitated and skinned evil spirits had dried up purple blood and were covered in scars. I don't know how much the team in front spent to kill the three evil spirits.
After walking out of this dangerous path, the team plunged into the endless green sea jungle, where there are all kinds of poisonous insects, giant pythons and poisonous plants. The best way to resist these poisonous insects is to fully arm yourself from head to toe.
The bearded Cagle caught a giant python. The body of the giant python was chopped into three sections by him with an axe. The head part was still attacking Cagle continuously. In the end, Augustus took advantage of it. The giant python didn't pay attention, it pierced the giant python's head with Paglio's spear and firmly nailed it to the ground, only then did the battle completely end.
So this giant python with a length of more than five meters and as thick as an arm naturally became the dinner of the second team.
He Boqiang can see the majestic Moyun Ridge in the distance, which is the highest mountain in the eastern mountainous area of the Ganda Er Mountains.
The evil spirits built their stronghold on this mountain because they wanted to rely on the dangerous terrain here to survive the weak period ahead. They only waited for the gates of evil spirits in the mountain to open one after another, and the evil spirits continued to enter. Moyun Ridge, and built a defensive stronghold here, even if a nail was firmly inserted into the western defense line of Duke Newman's army.
If there is no way to eliminate the evil ghost army on Moyunling, then the various armies of the Bena Army in the western defense area of Handanar County will be firmly nailed to the defense line.
The Fifty-seventh Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment walked in the forest for three consecutive days before reaching the edge of the area responsible for opening up the forest road.
According to Earl Mond Goss' plan, the five brigades in the fifty-seventh regiment will be separated, and each brigade will be responsible for a section of forest road opening tasks.
The fourth brigade was assigned to the area closest to Moyun Ridge. It is said that there are often ghost scout squads there, and it is the most dangerous task received by all infantry brigades.
Baron Sidney rode on Gu Bolai's horse. Even when he led the fourth brigade to leave the main brigade, he kept his chin raised proudly, seeing that his aura completely ignored the evil spirits on Moyun Ridge...
The veterans of the fourth brigade followed behind the baron with sad faces, and walked towards Moyunling in the distance.
