Lord Highlander

  Chapter 29 28. Simple tasks

  In the early morning, the mist in the mountains and forests has not dissipated, and the faint mist flows slowly in the mountains, making the downstream of this **** like a fairyland on earth.

The second team, led by Suldak, left the station of the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment in Handanar County Forest Farm. The dew on the grass leaves soaked the trousers of the soldiers, and the wet linen trousers were stuck to the On the legs, it feels cold and unable to walk, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

  All members of the team carried a total of seven days of marching rations, and Suldak was going to take this search and rescue mission as a field training for the team.

   This is also the first time that Suldak has led all members of the second team on a mission since he became the captain.

  A few days ago, Surdak and his team entered the northern part of the forest farm to hunt red-eyed hyenas in the Ganda Er Mountain area.

But that time was a net-casting operation organized by the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment. The second team only sent five veterans with rich combat experience to participate in the hunting operation. Suldak was only one of them and was not commanded. right.

This time on a mission alone, Suldak, as the captain, not only made a comprehensive plan overnight, but also received a simple parchment map from Baron Sidney. There are some simple lines on the parchment map, outlining the The trend of Ganda Earl Mountain.

  Suldak triumphantly unfolded the parchment map, pointed to an area, and said to He Boqiang: "I see, this is the location of our camp."

  Looking at the map that was only one foot square, He Boqiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This kind of hand-painted sticky map can only mark the approximate location of the camp. This kind of map is actually used for recording. When entering the Ganda Er Mountains, mark all the landmark references encountered along the way on the map. so that you won't get lost in the mountains.

  These knowledge are all from the memory fragments of the original owner. Recently, He Boqiang has time to sort out the memory fragments in the spiritual world, so he also has a lot of experience.

  Although he is currently communicating with Surdak, he can only express it with simple gestures.

  But Suldak doesn't seem to care at all. He always likes to pull He Boqiang to talk about this and that, but the one who talks the most is his hometown of Wall Village on the outskirts of Hailansa City.

   According to Suldak, the small village is far away from the war, and the fields are full of wheat fields.

  Standing in the golden wheat field in autumn, with open arms, facing the sun and closing eyes, enjoying the warmth of that ray of light.

  When the wind with the sweet smell of wheat straw blows past my ears, it is like a wonderful bagpipe...

  …

   The mission of the second team is to find a Benar swordsman in Ganda Er Mountain and bring him back to the camp.

   Baron Sidney received the message:

This Bena swordsman is a Constructed Swordsman of the main Constructed Knights under the command of Duke Newman. He chased a wounded evil spirit all the way from the Kampato River in the northwest of Handanal County, and entered Ganda Earl's Mountains, whereabouts have since been unknown.

  The identity of the swordsman was not stated in the official document, but everyone guessed that the swordsman must be a big shot. Otherwise, the Duke of Newman could not have issued a military order, ordering all the regiments stationed in the Ganda Er Mountain area to send out reconnaissance teams to find the whereabouts of Benar Swordsman.

   After receiving this mission, Suldak's second team got into the dense forest of Mount Gandar before the fog in the forest cleared away.

  At the same time as the second team, there were sixteen other teams of the infantry regiment. These teams got into the depths of the vast mountains and soon disappeared in the dense forest.

  …

Suldak led the second team along the edge of the eastern part of the forest farm, and detoured to a mountain ridge. There happened to be a river valley under the mountain ridge that stretched for tens of kilometers. The team searched northeast along the mountain ridge, all the way It will not be troubled by water problems.

Surdak didn't have any hope of finding the Bena swordsman. The Gandaer Mountains meander for hundreds of kilometers across the Warsaw plane's Kampato and Handanar counties. and Hortans County.

   Not to mention just a swordsman walking alone in the mountains, even if the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment walked into this mountain, it would not cause any splashes.

  Mountain forests are not always so dense. The soil around the forest farm is fertile, and only then do patches of fir, red pine and oak grow to form the forest land.

After walking out of the forest farm, the hillside in front of me suddenly opened up. Except for the waist-high weeds, the hillside was full of low arbor forests. Clusters of wild blueberries protruded from the weeds, and the wild grape vines were Climbing all over the hillside, the bunches of grapes on the vines are green and astringent. Only when they are completely ripe, will they attract a kind of short-tailed turtledove living nearby.

  Suldak stood on a big rock on the hillside, holding the parchment map in his hand, frowning for a long time but couldn't see anything.

  Below the mountain is a trickling river valley, with lush water and grass on both sides, and shrubs growing a little farther from the river.

On the other side, there is a group of one-horned bison by the lake, and several crystal lions are lurking behind the rocks, but their fur has the color of flowing mercury in the sun, so no matter how they cover up, they are still easy to hide. Location.

  However, this kind of crystal lion runs faster than a cheetah. As long as they are within a hundred meters, these bison cannot escape no matter what.

Because the fur of crystal lions is very precious, in the eyes of hunters, they are like a piece of gold that can run. A large number of hunters have poured into the Warsaw plane, specifically to hunt the thorn-tailed crystal lions unique to this plane. Therefore, the crystal lions living on the edge of Ganda Er Mountain have become increasingly rare.

  If it wasn't for the fact that the second team was not sure that they could defeat a crystal lion, Suldak would have given up on this mission without hesitation, and would have stood guard by the river until all these crystal lions were wiped out.

   But now, Suldak can only take a look from a distance, and then move forward with the second team.

For the two recruits of the second team, this is undoubtedly a very novel place. They will marvel at every new discovery they have made. This is different from the veterans. The veterans only care about things that are useful or dangerous to them. .

   When encountering dangerous things, they will avoid them far away.

  When they encounter something useful, they will go up to it unceremoniously and take it for themselves.

The hyena-skin mattresses that Suldak prepared for the team members were of great help. The humidity in the mountains is very high this season. If you set up a tent and lie on the grass to sleep all night, your back will be wet when you get up early in the morning. Yes, the leather of this red-eyed hyena is very moisture-resistant, and lying on it will quickly relieve the fatigue of the day.

  …

   After walking northeast along the Shanliang River Valley for two consecutive days, I found several aborigines on the other side of the river.

   Those were a few indigenous women wearing animal skins. They came out of the forest path in a row, each with a clay pot on their head.

When they came to the river, they began to squat by the river to draw water. These women were very vigilant, and they only stayed by the river for a few tens of seconds. After they filled the clay pots with water, they quickly left the river side.
