Finally, the horse drank enough water and filled all kinds of containers with water. The horse team set out again.

With the Bukuro Spring as a coordinate point for reference, Jacques quickly determined the position of the team, which happened to be in the center of Umataq meadow, and the nearest river needed to walk northwest for three to four days.

At night, Lily and Jacques finally had the opportunity to be alone. Lily hurriedly asked the question that troubled her for the day: "Why do those strange beasts let us drink water? Who allowed it?"

"I didn't dare to say it before, we stole the Beast King's water today!" Jacques scared Lily.

"Stealing drink? That is, we are not allowed?"

"Yes! We also have a Beast King lead team. The lions dare not stop us, so they forced us to drink the pool water. The main reason is that the Beast King happened to be not here."

Lily was still scared, "I didn't expect that Fat Orange could still scare them. The Beast King's sphere of influence in the geography did not say that there was a Beast King in Umatak meadow! If I had known that there was a Beast King, I would rather take a detour."

Jacques comforted: "Maybe this beast king is very low-key. The beast king is not so cautious that he causes trouble for a little water. No wonder the strange beasts beside the husk are so orderly. It turns out that the beast king is managing it."

The two continued to chat for a while, then gradually fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Fat Ju heard some sounds, and followed the source of the sound and ran out of the camp and disappeared into the night of the grassland.

The next day, in the morning.

There was no sunrise, the sky was covered with dark clouds, it seemed that it was going to rain, and the dry season was about to end.

Not long after, the rain finally fell. The drizzle fell for more than an hour, soaking the earth and making the grassland come alive again.

Sanders and Duane, who are more familiar with the grassland, both said that the rain seemed to have come too early, and the first rain in the rainy season in previous years should not come to the grassland after a month.

Jacques is not very interested in climate change. As long as it rains, it is a good thing. Even if it is earlier, it bothers him that Fatty Orange doesn't know where to go and does not respond to the call. This is the first time this situation has happened.

The distance between the two sides is too far, and sensory sharing and telepathy are ineffective. Jacques finally realized how much he relied on the fat orange cat.

Jacques didn't leave, and the team didn't set off, so everyone just took a break.

Lily noticed Jacques' abnormality. When she knew that Pangju was missing, she became helpless and could only sit with him in the tied tent, waiting for Pangju.

About two hours later, the mercenaries also realized that something seemed to have happened, and Wuming couldn't help but come and ask when he would set out.

Jacques was about to explain that because his cat was lost, he needed to wait for it to run back. The grass in front of him swayed and fat orange came out of it.

Jacques hurried forward, hugged Fat Juice, and asked telepathically where it had gone.

Lily's eyes lit up, stood up, walked over Jacques toward the grass, another delicate cat's head poked out of the grass, and then Lily hugged it, and the other cat was dragged out of the grass.

The cat has a slender body, four are slender, with a small head, big ears, a yellowish background, black spots, and a short tail.

"Ah, this is a prairie cat, um... it's a female cat!" Lily said, holding the prairie cat in her arms.

Wuming also understood and said, "So Fat Ju is on a date! This is his girlfriend!"

Fat Ju rolled her eyes to Wuming and left a sentence to Jacques: "I will help me serve it well these days."

Then he ignored Jacques and took the female cat who was struggling out of Lily's arms to find a pack horse. The two cats were comfortable sleeping in their luggage.

The team continued to set out, stepping on the slightly muddy grass, and headed towards Betio City.

...

at the same time.

A team of knights dug out more than twenty hurriedly buried corpses by the river where the Jacques once camped. One of the headless bodies and a slightly decayed charred head were found.

"Captain, it's confirmed that it's Mr. Donnie."

"You can take two people back."

"Yes, captain!"

The knight took off the felt pad from behind the horse to wrap the body, and then placed it on the horse's back.

The three cavalry left the team and headed south.

"Mr. Rita, what should I do with that person?" The captain asked a masked person beside him. Judging from his figure, he should be a young woman.

The only surviving subordinate of Otis, who led the knights to find the battle location, waited tremblingly for the verdict of fate.

The woman spoke, but her voice was inconsistent with her figure, and she looked very old. "The Lord said, no one can fool Walton, no one! Let's go, I've already handled it."

After saying that, he shook his black cloak and turned around and left.

Captain Knight looked at Odith's men standing there, shook his head, and waved his hand to signal his men to get on and leave.

More than twenty riders marched northward and gradually moved away.

Odith's men were still standing there, their eyes were dull and their bodies were still motionless. If they approached him at this time, they would find that he had stopped breathing.

The master's use of "stiffness" is indeed a killing invisible way.

...

Castia, the outskirts of the capital Rand.

Boom!

Boom!

The sounds are endless...

The sky was cloudless and a stream of white smoke rose from the ground.

A knight rushed from a distance and dismounted and reported: "Report to the Duke and the Prime Minister, all the targets were hit by 100 meters, 80% of the targets were hit by 300 meters, more than 60% of the targets were hit by 500 meters, 40% of the targets were hit by 1,000 meters, 20% of the targets were hit by 2,000 meters, and less than 10% of the targets were hit by 3,000 meters."

Duke Castia smiled and said, "Robert, your imitation cannon hits at a long distance is not enough, but the range is much further than the Legion's scorpion crossbow."

Robert replied: "Sir Duke, so I still insist that the most suitable position for artillery is the ships at sea. We need more and more powerful artillery on our ships and then unify the ocean."

The Duke sighed: "Hey, I didn't expect that Brother Eisingdolph was killed by this kind of mortal weapon. Robert, if the single-player cannon you studied succeeded, do you think the extraordinary will be ruled by mortals?"

Robert explained:

"Sir, I think you are too worried. Not to mention the gunpowder used by the Stuarts to kill Eisingdorf's chief minister, it is enough for us to shoot here for a day.

You have also seen from the experiment just now that artillery has limited lethality to extraordinary people above the stylist. A direct hit can only cause minor injuries, and a continuous hit is required to cause fatal injuries.

However, the extraordinary can run, the cannon firing frequency is low and the attack range is small, so it may be difficult to hit a shot if you really fight.

If it is miniaturized and can be operated by a single player, then the power will be smaller."

Robert continued:

"In fact, what I really fear for the emergence of artillery is the royal family, the legion.

The dense queues of the legion happened to be the target of artillery. If they were dispersed and could not use the collaborative energy skills, would it be a big threat?"

The Duke said: "You can get artillery skills from the Stuarts, I'm worried that the royal family will get them too."

Robert hurriedly bowed and said, "Sir Duke, this is also what I want to apologize to you. I judge that the royal family should have also obtained artillery technology. The royal family's factory in the Northern Region has recently increased demand for coal, iron, sulfur and nitrate. I have used relations to cut off their supply. I think if it goes well, the factory in the Northern Region should have been shut down at this time."

"It's done well. Regarding equip ships, you first equip a fleet. In the past two years, Stuart's privateers often rob our merchant ships. You can use them to start a surgery to train the team and test the practical ability of artillery fighting at sea."

Robert took the order and said, "As for orders, Lord Duke!"

The duke got on his horse and left, remembering something before leaving: "By the way, I have received the news that the God of Light will stop the trade in exchange for source stones for food next year, and you must prepare in advance."

Seeing the Duke go away, Robert said to the knight beside him: "You go and check why the Kingdom of Light stopped trading, and check the source of the old guy's intelligence."

"As for orders, Lord!"
