Although Muse has never actually been to the Snowy Mountains, she has experienced a lot in the Tulip family territory in the northwest for several years. Moreover, she is a tomboy by nature, a little less weak than ordinary girls, but a little more
Jiao Jiao Feiyang. During her years in the northwest, she was once thrown into the hands of the female knight Ruolin by Du Wei to train.
During this period, she dealt with many mercenary organizations, and she even had the audacity to secretly follow the mercenaries to the grassland to play.
Therefore, Muse still knows a lot about the grassland. Although he has never been to the snow-capped mountains on the grassland that everyone knows about, he can still grasp the approximate location accurately.
"Are you taking us there?" The elf frowned.
"I'll take you there!" Muse said proudly.
"Do you recognize it? Really?"
Muse stopped talking and looked at each other quietly.
Du Wei gently kicked a stone away from his feet, then pulled out the long sword hanging from his waist, dug up a mound of soil on the ground, and soon found what he was looking for!
Buried in the pit were a pile of animal hair and gnawed bones, as well as ashes left behind by some burning fires!
Seeing these things, Du Wei frowned, but regardless of the filth, he squatted down, grabbed a bone, brought it to his nose and smelled it.
After he stood up, he glanced at his companions: "They will not leave here for more than six days."
This is a valley, exactly the same valley where the Wolf Rider spent three days repairing here after crossing the Kilimaro Mountains!
At this moment, the surroundings were completely quiet. In the valleys and deep forests, there was no sound of birds. The sun was setting, and the evening wind blew into the valley, raising Du Wei's hair.
Next to him stood his only companion, a tall and majestic man. A cross knight's sword hung on his back. He had long legs and broad shoulders. He had thick golden curly hair. Although he wore an eyepatch on his face, it did not damage him at all.
His resolute and upright temperament.
Hussein glanced at Du Wei and said in a very calm tone: "Are you sure?"
"Of course." Du Wei stood up, patted the dirt in his hands casually, and said with a smile: "Don't forget. I also hunted with the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group in the frozen forest."
After a pause, he looked at the things at his feet with a smile, and said slowly: "These things are the remains of those werewolves that have been eaten, but they have not rotted and stink yet. Judging from the weather and climate temperature here, it should not take longer than
Six days.”
Hussein nodded, walked to the side, jumped onto a rock, and looked at the surrounding environment: "They must have stayed here for some time. A team of several thousand people must be exhausted after crossing the mountain.
, my physical strength has reached its limit, and I cannot continue fighting if I don’t rest.”
Du Wei nodded: "Then we should be in time."
After a pause, he continued: "Our problem now is to find two horses in the surrounding grasslands as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be a big disadvantage for the two of us to run and catch up on two legs."
After Longbottom escaped from the catastrophe and returned, he immediately passed the news to Du Wei. Judging from the results of this battle, if the fat man had not been unlucky in the end and encountered the large group of wolf riders on the road, it can be said that it was almost a disaster.
Perfect.
As for the final breakup and escape, in general, the losses were not too great. Compared to the results of their battle behind enemy lines, the damage was within an acceptable range.
However, the news that Muse had disappeared still made Fatty feel very ashamed.
After the news was sent to Du Wei, Du Wei immediately left the eastern fortress without making any stop, and rushed to the central part alone to meet the fat man. Then, he summoned Hussein, and the two of them went on the road to track him!
It must be noted that Du Wei did not simply save Muse.
Judging from his identity, as the commander of the Eastern Front, it was impossible for him to abandon hundreds of thousands of troops and the eager enemies on the other side of the river and leave alone for the sake of a girl who disappeared on the battlefield.
If it was just a simple matter like the disappearance of Muse, then even if Du Wei had a good relationship with the Liszt family, and even if Muse was the woman that his brother Gabri liked, he would never leave the east and come here in person! This does not mean that Du Wei is cold-blooded or cold-blooded.
Cruel, but...as a coach, he cannot easily break away from the main force!
However, he still came.
This is because, according to Longbottom's report, this matter is not simple!
Du Wei captured something very keenly: Thousands of wolf riders suddenly appeared in large numbers in the west... What is the purpose?!
As early as from Rohart, Du Wei got a lot of information about the criminals: the wolf tribe is the only race among the orcs that has a cavalry system. The warriors of this race are strong and cunning in combat, brave in combat, and are very powerful against elves.
Wang Luoxue's loyalty is extremely high! In a sense, they can be regarded as the only direct force among the orcs in Luoxue, except for the elves' own warriors.
More importantly, according to the news from Rohart, the population of the wolf clan has never been too large. During this large-scale return of the sinners, according to Rohart's understanding, among the wolf clan, most of them
The wolf clan came out and almost all the young and strong warriors in the wolf clan were taken away. The total number of wolf cavalry formed was only about 10,000!
There were more than 10,000 troops. On the eastern front, Du Wei encountered two to three thousand. He had long been suspicious that such a strong team was Luoxue's direct descendant. Where would Luoxue send them if he didn't take them all with him?
went?
Now I got the news from Fatty: Thousands of wolf riders, all of them quietly ran to the west far away from Luoxue!!
This news deserves Du Wei's serious attention! For this reason, he did not hesitate to leave the eastern front and go to the central part in person to join Longbottom. Then he took a group of griffin knights and ran to Hussein.
Behind enemy lines, where Longbottom and others met the enemy on the way, they searched for clues.
As a result, what surprised Duwei was that behind the woods, according to the traces left outside the woods, there had indeed been a large number of enemy troops briefly stationed here, but judging from the traces, the number seemed to be far more than Longbottom.
They said two or three thousand, but more than five thousand!
What made Du Wei even more confused was that these five thousand wolf riders gathered in this deserted and remote place and did not go south to attack the human defense line! Instead, judging from the traces on the road, they were heading west!
Following the traces, Du Wei and Hussein soon reached the Kilimaro Mountains and finally concluded that the other party had entered the mountains!
This discovery confused Du Wei even more. While he was confused, he had some hunch in his heart: This matter is not simple!
Du Wei, who originally planned to come and take a look in person and then return to the eastern defense line as soon as possible, suddenly changed his mind and decided to pursue it himself!
This encounters a problem: the vast mountains. It is absolutely impossible for human troops to cross the mountains! If you think about it carefully, I am afraid that only the wolves who are as sharp as the wind can maintain mobility in the mountains and forests.
Ability.
Therefore, it is impossible for Du Wei to lead the army into the mountains to pursue him, he can only...
Du Wei thought about it again and again and made a decision: not to bring any troops, not even the gryphon knights! He ordered the gryphon knights to return to the eastern defense line to continue the defense. At least there were gryphon knights in the east. If the elves
If you come to attack, you can still put up a fight.
Du Wei decided that it was up to him alone. Together with Hussein, the two of them went into the mountains to chase.
This is also a helpless move: the other party is a large army of 5,000 people. Here, we have fewer people, which is of no use, but we have too many... But climbing a mountain is not something that human armies can do. We and ourselves
Hussein, both of them have the strength of two holy warriors. If they catch up and start a fight with each other, it will be enough. Even if the opponent is strong, there is something hidden in the team. Du Wei, the master of the sinners, already knows
Okay. Apart from Luo Xue, among the criminals there are saint-level powerful men. Even if they cannot be defeated by then, Du Wei and Hussein will be able to escape if they want to.
In this way, after Du Wei and Hussein entered the mountain, they were like hunters stalking their prey, carefully searching for any clues left by the other party's advance.
Although in the wild mountains, orcs have talents and can move far better than humans in this environment, and the racial advantages of werewolves allow them to move quickly even if they leave the plains and deep in the mountains.
But fortunately, the opponent's number was too great. No matter how careful the team of five thousand wolf riders was, they couldn't leave no trace behind.
In this way, Du Wei and Hussein reluctantly chased all the way down. After many days of climbing over mountains and ridges, they finally crossed Mount Kilimaro!
The time was just seven or eight days behind the wolf tribe's large army.
And when Du Wei crossed the mountain range and determined that he had reached the boundary of the grassland, the mystery in his heart not only did not subside, but instead became more intense.
Grassland... Why did the wolf riders spend so much effort to sneak into the grassland quietly? If it was to sneak into the empire, there is a reason. But the grassland... What is there in the grassland that is worth Luoxue's expense and risk of five thousand elite wolf riders in the mountains?
Danger of annihilation?
This is not an alarmist statement. Climbing the huge Mount Kilimaro is not an easy task even for the wolf tribe. Huge mountains, steep mountain roads, ice and snow above the snow line, and snow
Marching on top of the peak is extremely dangerous!
There are countless dangers in the mountains: lack of food, getting lost, landslides, and even... if you accidentally encounter an avalanche on the snow-capped mountains, it will be enough to wipe out the entire army of thousands of elite wolf riders!
After leaving the valley, Du Wei and Hussein wandered around the grassland for a day, but did not find even a grassland herdsman camp.
This made Du Wei feel even more gloomy.
Even Hussein knew that when he was quelling the rebellion of the Northwest Army, he and Rodriguez, two paladins, worked together to fight against the commander of the Northwest Army, Lu Gao, but they only got a draw. Afterwards,
Sai Yin also knew that Lu Gao's true identity was Chishui Duan, a disciple of Daxue Mountain!
"The Daxue Mountain is a place regarded as a holy place by people on the grassland. Are there wizards from the grassland and the Witch King on the mountain?" Hussein shook his head: "Where are the wolves going? What are the five thousand wolf riders doing to destroy the Daxue Mountain?
?”
"This, I really don't understand." Du Wei rolled his eyes, but smiled bitterly: "To be honest, that Elf King Luoxue did suffer a loss once in the Snow Mountain, and was defeated miserably by the Witch King of the Snow Mountain. But...
Luo Xue's style shouldn't be that of secretly sending troops to destroy someone's family after losing a duel. Besides... Luo Xue knows Bai Hechou's strength, does he think that the Five Thousand Wolf Riders...
"
Having said this, Du Wei suddenly closed his mouth and his expression suddenly changed!
He suddenly jumped up: "No!"
"What?"
"Bai Hechou is not on the Snow Mountain now!!" Du Wei said with a bitter look on his face: "Under the Snow Mountain, no matter it is Lao Bai, Chishui Duan, or Lan Haiyue. Even if only one of them is on the mountain, they can definitely protect themselves.
Yu. But the problem is that these three old monsters are not on the snow mountain now! The current Witch King on the snow mountain seems to have turned into that little Elu girl! Although little Elu has good talents and abilities, what if?
Five thousand elite wolf cavalry came to the door of the house, and it seems that she is not something that a little girl can resist!"
