Chapter 91 Attack

Herag's driver was a slave hired temporarily from the caravan. His name was Ed. He was a man in his thirties. He was thin but experienced in driving.

Herag was quite satisfied with his driving skills. He drove smoothly all the way.

Ed was a relatively silent person. He always drove the carriage silently. Herag didn't call him, and he wouldn't make a sound.

There was a brand on his face, which was the sign of a slave.

Herag paid the caravan ten silver coins and rented Ed's car for him to drive for three months.

Of course, not a single copper coin of these ten silver coins would fall into Ed's pocket.

These slaves were just objects, and objects would not have their own property.

As the sky gradually darkened, the caravan stopped moving forward.

One by one, the carriages began to adjust their positions and formed a defensive fortification, and Herag's was no exception.

The people in the caravan began to light seven or eight fires, put pots on them and started cooking to provide food for everyone.

The whole caravan ate dry food at noon and hot food at night.

Herag also ate the food provided by the caravan. His carriage and space ring were stocked with water and food.

These were for emergency use. If something happened to the caravan, these foods and water could sustain him for a while.

Half an hour later, Herag received his dinner, potatoes stewed with bacon, and half a smoked fish.

This food was considered good. The food cooked by the caravan was also divided into different levels.

Those who paid, such as Herag, ate the best, while those adventurers ate a little worse.

Slaves like Ed ate even worse. They ate a mixture of leftovers from the previous few days, which was simply swill.

There were actually quite a few nobles in the caravan. These nobles disliked the food of the caravan and often left a lot of food.

The caravan was very frugal and did not waste any food. They collected all the leftovers and used them to feed the slaves.

After eating, Herag returned to the carriage and continued to learn the knowledge of Deep Blue Storage.

He has been reading some magic history recently. There are still too few direct records about ancient magic. He can only learn more from some historical records.

After Deep Blue Scan recorded the ancient magic slate, it can start content analysis.

However, analysis requires consumption of one's own magic power. Now that he is on a long journey, he must always maintain his own state, and magic power must not be consumed in large quantities.

Both the analysis of the slate content and the experiment of the potion formula need to wait until he arrives at the Kingdom of Doris before they can begin.

The climate in the Dragon Ridge Highlands is very bad. The sun makes people's skin itchy during the day, and the temperature drops sharply at night.

Herag still covers himself with the quilt that Lillian gave him. It is also suitable for this weather.

Late at night, Herag closed his eyes and meditated. The seventh star in his mind was solidifying. He estimated that it would take about two months to complete the meditation.

After the night, the surroundings became very quiet.

There was no one living on the Dragon Ridge Highlands for a long time, and there were few animals. At night, it was quiet.

The caravan was brightly lit, with several bonfires burning all night long. The night watchmen warmed themselves by the fire to dispel the night cold.

The next morning, as soon as it was light, the caravan was ready to set off, and the surroundings became noisy.

They had to seize the daylight and leave the Dragon Ridge Highlands as soon as possible.

It was September now, and the Dragon Ridge Highlands could enter winter and snow at any time.

It usually starts snowing in October, but if there is abnormal weather, the mountains may be closed by heavy snow in September, which would be dangerous.

Fortunately, there is no such sign yet.

The caravan traveled safely in the Dragon Ridge Highlands for twenty days, and everything went smoothly along the way. In about five days, they will be able to leave this area.

In the thick white fog, the caravan moved slowly.

Since the traces on the road were obvious and there was only one road on the Dragon Ridge Highlands, there was no need to worry about getting lost due to the white fog blocking the view. Just keep going along the main road.

Herag was lying in the carriage, originally resting with his eyes closed, and suddenly opened his eyes.

There was nothing unusual in Deep Blue's environmental detection, but Herag heard some unusual sounds.

The caravan had been traveling on the Dragon Ridge Plateau for so many days, and Herag was already familiar with the sounds around.

But at this moment, he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and there were quite a few of them.

The caravan was still very calm and continued to move forward as usual. Obviously, they did not hear such unusual movements.

After a while, when the sound of horse hooves got closer, a voice suddenly came from the front: "Enemy attack!"

This was the voice of Kalim, who was the leader of the Putis Adventure Group, that is, the adventure group with all members in full armor.

He commanded all the guards of this caravan, and all the guards had to obey his orders.

Of course, this was only in theory. Adventurers were notorious for not listening to orders and liked to act according to their own ideas.

Kalim had the strength close to that of a great knight, and he could take that crucial step at any time.

It is said that he was born into a great noble family, but he did not enjoy the good life in his own territory, but liked to go out and adventure.

He was very good to the members of his adventure group, and treated them far better than ordinary adventurers in all aspects, which could be seen from the full body armor they all wore.

With money and power, Kalim's reputation became more and more famous, and he often received some big orders, such as this caravan escort.

Kalim was the first one among the caravan guards to hear the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

He acted decisively and directly judged that it was an enemy attack, and asked the caravan to start building fortifications.

Kalim divided the other adventurers into several teams, each led by someone from his own adventure group.

After he issued a warning, the members of the adventure group immediately commanded the adventurers under his command to line up the carriages one by one to defend the direction of the horse hooves.

The defensive formation was quickly set up, and the guards gathered beside the carriages, holding various weapons in their hands and staring at the front.

The old, weak, sick, disabled, nobles and other people who had no combat ability were arranged to avoid the battle in the rear.

Herag and Ed were in the back, lying on a slope, and he was chewing a smoked fish in his mouth slowly.

He was not going to participate in the war, but he spent money, although it was Milo's money.

But they are consumers after all. How can a boss who has spent money go to the battlefield in person?

A few minutes later, although the white fog still blocked everyone's sight, everyone heard the dense sound of horse hooves.

The sound of horse hooves rumbled in everyone's heart like the sound of war drums, and everyone's face was not very good.

Such a large scale of horse hoof sound means that the other party is likely to be an army.

Only the army can afford so many horses. In this place, it is impossible for any robbers to have such strong strength.
