Lord Highlander

  Chapter 986 972. The other side of the mountain

  Going with the rebel army this time, there is no need for Gullitum to carry the Avid magician on his back.

The bearded Edgar arranged for two rebel soldiers to carry the magician Avid on a stretcher, and Nora accompanied the magician Avid, taking care of the magician Avid along the way, which made Sur Dak saved a lot of trouble.

  Mountain roads are difficult to walk. The jungle is hot and humid. The gravel and soil under the feet are very soft and have a certain slope. Sometimes when you step on it, the whole person will slide down with the sand and gravel.

Although the soldiers walking in front had already stepped on a path in the woodland, when they passed halfway up the mountain, there was a steep and unclimbable vertical mountain wall on the left, and a valley with a height of 100 meters on the right, and there was a rushing torrent at the bottom of the valley. , The mountain road is very narrow, a war horse will block the mountain road.

  If there is a slight problem in the front, you have to stop and wait later.

On the opposite side of the cliff is a dense forest. From time to time, a group of fire-tailed monkeys can be seen jumping and running fast on the top of the tree. They are not afraid of people at all. When they see the people on the side of the mountain from a distance, they make provocative long howls and grin their teeth. It was very arrogant, and made the horses in the team become restless. The soldiers could only put blindfolds on them so that they could only see the road ahead.

  He stopped and stopped like this until it got dark. In fact, he didn’t go far in this mountain forest.

   A series of rumbling sounds came from not far away, and the entire mountain wall shook violently.

   After a while, the huge earthquake subsided.

  The team has completely stagnated.

The ogre Gullitum seemed a little irritable, but he could only sit next to the cliff. He didn't eat dinner, and his stomach was protesting to him. He could only eat some scones, luncheon meat, and marching rations here. food, but these things are completely unable to satisfy the appetite of the two-headed ogre.

   Gulitum picked up a stone the size of a washbasin, and waved his arms like the group of fire-tailed monkeys opposite him threw it.

A fire-tailed monkey avoided it, and was immediately smashed to pieces by a stone the size of a washbasin. The stone hit the tree trunk and shattered. The body of the fire-tailed monkey burst like a balloon filled with water. , colorful viscera hanging from a tree.

   The other fire-tailed monkeys ran away in fright...

  I didn’t meet a river along the way, and Xiya couldn’t take a bath along the way, so I felt a little uncomfortable.

   She could only stand next to the cliff and nailed the water-gathering rune board to the rock wall. The water-gathering rune board kept dripping raindrops. She stood on the edge of the cliff and drenched in the rain to keep her skin moist enough.

  Intensive raindrops hit her pretty face, and the veil on her face fell off accidentally, revealing a touching and beautiful face...

  The rebels next to them almost dropped their jaws when they saw Xi Ya's beautiful face.

   Magician Avid didn't even raise his head. He was lying on a stretcher in front of the team, chatting calmly with Nora.

  As a second-turn Hawkeye, Samira is completely unaffected by such cliffs. She can easily climb to the top of the mountain with bare hands...

   It was getting dark before the news came from the front. It was a huge boulder that rolled down from above and got stuck in the crack of the rock, blocking the passage.

The ogre couldn't pass the horses and warriors blocking the road on such a narrow cliff, but Suldak and Samira had no problem at all, so they let Sia and Gulitum stay where they were , Samira climbed the cliff to lead the way ahead, and led Surdak to climb over the cliff of nearly 300 meters.

  Suldak finally saw that at the corner of the mountain wall in front of him, there was actually a mountain crack that split to both sides, and the team was going to pass through this gap.

  The mountain road here is slightly wider, but the width is also very limited.

  Suldak pushed Samira to the front with Samira, and saw a huge boulder stuck in the gap, surrounded by some finely broken stones, which seemed to have crushed several soldiers to death.

  A group of rebel fighters are beating the rock with a miner's hoe, preparing to break it up little by little, thus opening the mountain road.

  This rock is almost six or seven meters high. According to their efficiency, they may not be able to open the passage tonight.

  The bearded Edgar was directing the dispatch over there, and Suldak walked up and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

  Edgar rubbed his forehead, and said with some distress: "I didn't expect the huge boulder hanging on it to fall down at this time. If it can't be cleaned up tonight, it is estimated that I will spend the night on this rock wall..."

   It's a pity that Gullitum can't make it through, otherwise the ogre is quite good at throwing stones.

  Suldak and Samira looked at each other.

   "Is there any good way?" Edgar asked anxiously.

  Suldak thought for a while and said: "Our companion is stuck behind, I believe he can handle it... Now we need to consider how he can get here from the back."

Samira suggested at this time: "If you want Gulitum to come over, you have to get out of this narrow mountain road. I can climb to the top of the boulder and throw a soft ladder down. All the soldiers crowded here Use the soft ladder to climb over the boulder, and then push the horse blocking the way down the cliff, so that you can make way for Gulitum to come over..."

   "Captain Edgar, what do you think?" Suldak asked Captain Edgar.

  Edgar was obviously reluctant to part with those horses, but stuck here, once the lord's army caught up from behind, the loss might become even greater.

   "Okay, we can't keep blocking here..." said the bearded Edgar.

  Samila did not climb with bare hands, but with the excellent jumping ability of her legs, she easily stepped on a few bumps and turned over a boulder more than six meters high. She squatted on the boulder, and a soft ladder hung down from it.

   This soft ladder is prepared for the Armed Thunder Rhino. To climb onto the platform on the back of the Armed Thunder Rhino, in addition to passing through this soft ladder, you have to climb the shelf with bare hands.

  As the captain of the archer brigade, Samira also carried a few such ladders in her magic pocket.

  A group of rebel soldiers climbed up the boulder one after another under the command of Edgar the Beard, and turned over from the boulder.

The rebel soldiers were not willing to kill those horses loaded with supplies. At this critical moment, these rebel soldiers actually thought of tying up the horses with ropes, hanging them on the cliff like this, and getting out of the way. Let the two-headed ogre come from behind.

   By the time Gullitum caught up from behind the team, it was already midnight.

   "It turned out that this big guy blocked the way..."

The two-headed ogre took over the miner's hoe, and with a 'heh' sound, his whole body was covered with black totem at a speed visible to the naked eye, his eyes became blood red, his skin became like a stone, and the miner's **** in his hand waved. Going out, the gravel fell off like a piece of scale.

  ‘Are you bloodthirsty just to chisel a stone? '

  Suldak pressed his forehead with one hand, and sighed that Brother Ogre is really real!

   It is rare to see them working so hard in normal battles...

  However, the ogre's way of chiseling stones is also a test for these miners' hoes. After he used up five miners' hoes in a row, this huge rock was finally completely shattered by the ogre with brute force.

  As for the broken stones, they were transported out of the cracks of the stones and thrown into the mountain stream by drumming.

  In the early hours of the morning, this channel was finally successfully opened.

  However, when it was still dawn, the team repacked and set off. After walking through the gap in the mountain wall that was several kilometers long, the eyes finally opened up, as if all the mountains and rivers were close at their feet.

This side seems to be on a very high terrain. Looking around, the entire forest under your feet forms a green sea. A meandering river is hidden in it. Countless tributaries converge together intricately. You can actually see flocks of birds in the sky. .

  It seems that this mountain completely separates the north and south worlds.

Walking down the winding and rugged mountain road, the road here is very easy to walk, and in the middle of the mountain, Suldak saw several rebel camps hidden in the jungle, none of which The exceptions are all built by the river where water is convenient.

"Other things here are fine. We can reclaim large tracts of fertile land in the forest, and the water resources are relatively rich. The only threatening beasts in the jungle are some jungle tigers and poisonous snakes. They are not a big threat to us. The only disadvantage is that we are isolated from the world. , the supplies are very scarce..." the bearded Edgar squinted his eyes and said yearningly.

   Then he pointed to several camps down the mountain and said, "We have five camps here, but this is not our rear area."

   "Isn't it here?" Suldak couldn't help asking curiously.

  He didn't expect the rebel army to have such a large scale.

"Of course! We have only opened up a few camps here in the past two years, and our rear will continue to go south..." Edgar said proudly, and then he took out a map from his arms. , pointing to the southwest corner of the map and said, "It's right here."

  Suldak also has a plane of this kind of printed plane, which is much clearer than the one in Edgar's hand.

   "The southern edge of the Ganbu plane?" Suldak asked suspiciously.

  Edgar nodded and said proudly:

   "Well, that's where the lord's army can't really touch. We have established three free towns there."

  Suldak touched his nose, lost in thought for a while.

  …

  The team entered a camp by the river, and the women living in the camp led the migrants into the newly built wooden houses.

   It seems that this side has already been prepared. The vacant wooden house is cleaned very clean. The wooden bed and wooden table inside have some moisture from the trees. It seems that it should have been built not long ago.

  The size of this camp is almost the size of a tribe. It used to be about a thousand people, but now more than 700 people have migrated from the camp on the other side of the mountain. The camp is a bit crowded, and almost all the wooden houses are full.

   There is also a group of rebel fighters building new wooden houses in the camp.

  Because the camp is close to the river and the terrain is low, it is not possible to continue digging holes on the ground to build a wooden house. It is estimated that water can be dug out with a few shovels. To build a wooden house, you need a high-rise building that is moisture-proof.

  Everyone settled down in this camp, and Suldak walked around the camp randomly...
