The morning sun saves the earth from darkness. The fresh air with moisture is filled with a refreshing atmosphere. The fields are golden. Under the embrace of the sun, everything is brilliant and glowing.
It's a vibrant scene. Walking surrounded by such scenery, you can't help but feel very happy.
A somewhat old cargo-passenger carriage, surrounded by two riders, was traveling in such an environment.
Surrounded by endless fields, the mature crops are almost as high as an adult male's chest. The carriage and its riders are as inconspicuous as ants on this path that shuttles between the fields.
Geer was wearing a half-length leather armor with thick linen clothes underneath. He was sitting on a strong horse with a bow on his back and a sword on his back. He looked no different from the common mercenaries in border areas.
The rider who was a few steps behind Geer was dressed almost the same as Geer, but his yellow hair and the marks on his face made by time made this rider look more like an experienced old mercenary, while Geer
You look like a newbie.
The groom driving the carriage carefully drove the carriage behind the two riders. The carriage pulled by the two horses moved forward slowly and steadily. Judging from the appearance and dress, the groom and the old man were very different.
The riders are almost identical, they are literally made from the same mold.
The front half of the carriage is a passenger compartment, with Lucaline and Iona sitting in it, while the back half is similar to a cart often used to pull hay in the countryside, with a lot of goods and mainly dried meat and water bags placed on it.
The food was covered with a wide tarpaulin, and it looked no different from the traveling merchants traveling to and from the Elmrock area.
Geer and his party have been away from Seaborg City for three days, and these days they have been traveling on this secret path leading directly to Elmrock that was found by scattered traders.
After being recognized by Weekly, Geer instinctively felt that something was wrong, because before setting off from San Rotalo, the notification document from the organization headquarters to the West Borg branch should have only written his false identity, while West Borg
The Borg branch could not transfer information from the headquarters without permission. Except for the subordinates around him, no one should know his true identity. Now it was revealed by Vickery. This made Geer a little confused and uneasy. There was always something wrong with him.
There was an inexplicable sense of crisis surrounding him. In addition, he also met people from the monastery. Just in case, Geer directly used the hidden clue provided by Prince Fayelino, secretly that night.
Left the city of Seaborg.
Going to the park to practice sword skills at night was also to attract possible observers and create conditions for Luckarin and Iona to contact the hidden manpower.
However, this move did throw the entire city of Seaborg into chaos. Geer's secret departure first made Vickley think that Kang had special means and had already contacted Geer and gained insight into his plot. Because the military camp was in the suburbs,
The time for delivering the news was a bit slow. When Weekly learned the news, it was too late to blockade the city. Although he knew that Geer's target was Emrock, he was not sure whether Geer would continue to go to Emrock after learning the news.
So in anger, he could only mobilize his own manpower to pursue from all directions away from the city, and at the same time sent people to investigate around the city to see if anyone had seen the whereabouts of Geer and his party.
At the same time, he must find an excuse to clear out Cordray's men so that he cannot know that he has lost the ability to control the situation.
After a busy night, even though he was a local snake family that had been entrenched in Xibog City for decades, Weekly was still very busy. Finally, he got the news from a vendor in the morning. He saw a group of people suspected of being Geer from the city last night.
A passage that few people know leads out of the city, and the direction should be towards Emrock.
After getting the exact news, although it was unclear why Geer was still heading to Emlock, Weekly immediately focused his main efforts on the road to Emlock, while leaving a small number of manpower in other directions to investigate to avoid blocking.
Ergu's suspicion formation led him in the wrong direction. The transaction with Cordray also went on normally. Although last night's action caused Cordray's anger, the destination and departure time of Geer provided by Vickery
After finding out the possible route map, Cordray could only suppress his anger and mobilize manpower to pursue.
However, this also resulted in weak control over Seaborg City. In addition, Vickery thought that Kang had already contacted Geer, so he paid no attention to this little person and focused all his attention on Geer.
After all, as long as Geer dies, even if Kang is alive, he won't be able to make any big splash. And if Geer doesn't die, even if he kills Kang, a small person, it will have no effect on Weekly.
Thanks to Vickery's idea, Kang, who was unfamiliar with the city of Seaborg, was not caught. However, after he spent several days sneaking into the Naims Hotel, he discovered that Geer and his party had already left.
Time was running out. He only knew the general destination of Geer. He thought about it for a long time before quietly leaving Seaborg City and heading towards Emlock.
…
"Where are we now?" Geer asked the riders beside him as he saw that the fields in front of him were starting to become a little deserted and were obviously different from the environment he had experienced in the previous few days.
The rider and the groom were brothers. They were hunters. The groom was the elder brother, named Ida Bryan, and the younger brother was Clemmy Bryan. Before setting off from San Lotaro, Geer asked Fayelino for
With the manpower familiar with Emlock, these two brothers were the candidates Fayelino gave to Geer. Before departure, he notified them to come to Seaborg City to stand by and wait to join Geer.
The two brothers were worthy of their status as Emrock experts. They led Geer and the others directly onto this path that few people knew and that was generally only used by small smugglers. Occasionally, they met some farmers and saw Geer's convoy.
It's not surprising at all. I just came up to ask if there were any scattered goods for sale. The journey was very smooth.
"We have now left the control area of Seaborg City, and we will reach the area of Elmrock in two days." Clemmy said respectfully.
Geer nodded, slowed down the horse carrying him, fell behind the carriage, opened the oilcloth, found a half-full water bag from a pile of deflated water bags, and took a sip for himself.
Watching the plants around him gradually recede and become shorter and shorter, bursts of hot wind that gradually increased in temperature blew in his face, driving his dark red hair back, and he could not feel any coolness at all.
After another gulp of water, Geer put the water bag back under the oilcloth, lightly kicked the horse's belly, and in vain accelerated, reaching the front again.
"Is there a resting place ahead? It's best to replenish some water." Geer asked Clemmy. These days, he has been traveling early in the morning and evening when there is little sun. Find a cool place during noon and afternoon.
However, in order to ensure the speed of progress and cover up traces, we did not go to nearby villages to replenish the water. The water we prepared is now almost used up. The animals consume much more water than people. It will be difficult to sustain it for another day.
"About two hours further, we will enter a forest area. There is a river there that allows us to replenish water. It is one of several safe replenishment points on this road."
After listening to Clemmy's words, Geer looked up at the sky. It was about nine o'clock in the morning, and it would be the hottest time in two hours. The two brothers were indeed veterans, and they planned the route very carefully.
"Sir, with that supply point as the boundary, the ground becomes unstable. A small caravan like ours will not attract the attention of the big thieves, but some small thieves will still follow, so we need to be more prepared.
." Clemmy reminded.
"Well, I understand." Geer was still very accepting of such a veteran's advice.
After walking for nearly two hours, I saw a continuous forest at the end of my sight.
Looking at the dazzling green, the heat caused by the rising sun could not help but ease a lot. Brothers Geer and Bryan subconsciously speeded up and headed towards this cool place.
Not long after, the motorcade rushed into the embrace of the woods. The moment it entered the woods, it gave people the illusion of entering another world. The pleasant green surrounded the motorcade, and the heat of summer disappeared.
, making people feel a little lazy, the horses shook their heads and snorted, and even Lucarin and Iona couldn't help but open the car windows and carefully appreciate this piece of greenery that represents vitality.
The speed of the convoy obviously slowed down, and under Clemmy's guidance, it slowly walked in the direction of the river.
Although he walked very slowly, it didn't take long for the sweet sound of the water and river rocks to dance with him.
Passing through a bush at the corner in front, there was suddenly a very open space. The sunlight was not blocked by the tree cover, and it shined straight on the small river below, which was about three meters wide.
The stone becomes as dazzling as a gem.
At the same time, Geer saw a figure fetching water by the river. He was a young man wearing gray linen clothes, and he also saw the sudden appearance of Geer's motorcade.
Surprise, ecstasy, excitement... a series of expressions suddenly appeared on the young man's face, making his small face look particularly wonderful.
Then, he turned around and went into the jungle behind.
"Attention, it's a bandit!" Brother Bryan warned loudly.
The next moment, Geer saw the riding figures rushing out of the bushes to kill him - five of them, driving the wildly running horses. The rider's face had an expression similar to that of the young man before and opened his mouth to make a cry.
mouth.
Shouts came out of their mouths, but they were just a combination of piles of various notes and had no actual meaning.
Gurr drew his sword.
His long-term combat experience allowed his body to react instinctively when he felt something was wrong.
He kicked the horse's belly fiercely, and the horse galloped forward. Facing the dazzling sunlight, Geer turned slightly sideways on the horse to avoid the flash of light mixed in the sunlight that hit him. The sword in his hand and the figure flying past him
