Chapter 5 Emerald Mountains

Three days later, Emerald Mountains.

Herag and his group rode on the mountain road, and at the end of the team was a carriage filled with supplies.

It had just rained a little in the mountains, and clouds and mist were lingering in the mountains.

It was sunset, and Emil rode in the front, looking around for places suitable for camping.

Herag was in the middle of the team, and a map was constantly being improved in his field of vision.

He asked Deep Blue to record every place he passed. Combined with the existing map, a more complete map is constantly taking shape.

The Pumpkin Farm is an important crop production area in Baron Buck's territory, where a variety of crops are planted. It is located to the west of the Emerald Mountains. Baron Buck's castle is located on the right side of the Emerald Mountains. They need to cross the Emerald Mountains to reach the Pumpkin Farm.

"Let's spend the night in this cave tonight."

Emil found a spacious cave in front of him. There was some animal hair in the cave, and there was dried animal feces at the entrance of the cave.

This is obviously the den of animals like bears, but Emil and others don't care about this. The bears come only to give fur.

All the horses are tied in the woods nearby, so that they can eat grass and rest there.

The carriage stopped in front of the cave, forming a simple fortification.

The group of people also started to get busy, and the bonfire was lit at the entrance of the cave.

Helag was responsible for taking food from the carriage, pickled meat, potatoes, tomatoes and other vegetables.

A large pot was quickly hung above the bonfire, and pickled meat and other foods were thrown into it.

They have been eating like this outside these days, stewing in a pot.

A rack was quickly erected next to the bonfire, and the guards hung the wet clothes there to dry.

"Oh! Jimmy! Put away your damn socks! How many times have I told you not to roast socks when cooking! Do you want to eat pickled meat that smells like socks!" The bearded guard named Hagen sniffed his nose, turned his head and saw a pair of smelly socks hanging on the rack for drying clothes, and immediately roared.

"Hehe." Jimmy put away his socks embarrassedly and hung them outside the cave.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Herag walked to the big pot and opened the lid.

A strong aroma burst out, filling the entire cave and drifting into the gradually darkening forest outside.

"It's time to eat!" Herag shouted, and the guards lying and sitting in the cave came over with their iron lunch boxes.

None of them took action, but just stared at the meat in the pot and swallowed their saliva, waiting for Emil to eat first.

Emil took a fork and put some meat and vegetables into the lunch box, scooped some soup, and then sat at the entrance of the cave to eat, looking outside the cave and wondering what he was thinking.

As soon as Emil left, the remaining people were not polite, and they fought for the meat in the pot and soon it was gone.

Herag had experience and with the help of Deep Blue, he grabbed the meat accurately and quickly.

There was no entertainment after dinner. The group chatted around the campfire for a while and then went to sleep.

They could only sleep half-undressed, with their weapons and armors placed beside them to ensure that they could enter combat mode as soon as possible.

Herag was on guard tonight. He sat by the campfire and kept an eye on the surroundings.

Because it had just rained in the mountains and there was no dry wood, Herag went to the carriage to get some stored dry firewood.

The campfire must be kept burning all night, and the nearby beasts would automatically retreat when they saw the flames, which would save a lot of trouble.

It was late at night, and it started to rain again in the mountains. Herag glanced at the time in his field of vision, it was one o'clock in the morning.

Based on his usual observations, the Deep Blue chip found that a day in this world was also about twenty-four hours.

Herag asked Deep Blue to calibrate the time according to the twenty-four-hour system of his previous life.

The cold wind blew into the cave, and the campfire made a crackling sound, and the flames jumped with the wind.

The cold wind blew away Herag's sleepiness. He stared at the dark forest outside the cave, and there was nothing unusual in the Deep Blue map.

The original observation range of the deep blue small map was ten meters. After Herag's physical fitness was greatly improved, the small map could display the animals and plants within a hundred meters nearby.

At the same time, in the distant jungle, a team of people were approaching the cave in the dark.

The sound of the mountain rain covered the sound of their footsteps, and they were careful enough, so it was difficult to be noticed under the cover of darkness.

When they got closer to the cave, the three people in the lead made a gesture, and the people behind them immediately divided into two teams, lurking from the left and right wings to approach the cave, and the remaining three continued to lurk from the front.

Herag sat at the entrance of the cave, sticking to his post, and the deep blue small map was always in sight.

"Huh?"

He suddenly saw a red dot on the small map, in the woods on the left side of the cave entrance, and then another eight red dots entered the range of the small map.

At the same time, a team of people also walked in on the right, the number was nine, the same as on the left.

Herag immediately drew out his sword and whispered, "Enemy attack!"

Emile slept in the innermost part of the cave. He woke up before Herag drew out his sword and quickly put on his armor.

The others also moved quickly and woke up.

"There is a team of people approaching here quickly on both sides, and there are three people approaching here from the front of the cave entrance!" Herag quickly described the current situation.

Emile did not ask him how he knew this. He walked to the campfire and kicked over the big pot, and the campfire was immediately extinguished by the soup.

He turned back and said, "Everyone follow me to break through from the right!"

Their horses were in the forest on the right. If they didn't know the enemy's strength, it would be a good choice to ride away from the dangerous place first.

Herag and others nodded and rushed out of the cave behind Emil.

"Damn it! Don't let Emil escape!" One of the three leading people with a big sword roared.

The movement here was obviously noticed by the people outside. The moment the bonfire went out, they knew they were exposed.

Swish, swish, swish!

A round of arrows quickly shot towards the cave, most of which were blocked by the carriage.

Emil and his men were also attacked in the forest on the right, but because it was dark, no one was hit by arrows.

Herag noticed that this group of people were hiding in the forest and did not choose to confront them head-on. Everyone on the other side carried a bow and arrow.

"They are here! Come quickly!" The other party immediately reported their location when they found Emil and his men.

Herag saw from the small map that another team had surrounded them, and the three leading them were approaching here at a very fast speed.

They must be regular knights with such a fast speed, and they must break out from the right side as soon as possible.

"Deep Blue, turn on the auxiliary aiming."

Herag hid behind a tree to avoid arrows, and at the same time bent his bow and aimed at the enemy in the forest ahead.

Others couldn't see it, but he could. With Deep Blue's help, he could still see everything around him clearly in the dark night, and he could also see the people hiding behind the tree.
