Chapter 79 Border Scouts

The Savage Plains, a world further north than Mobei.

There are many monsters living here.

Because of its dangerous terrain, there is a mountain range that cuts off the area, and there are only five routes to get here.

"You have a heavy task to do here. One is to confirm the safety of the route, and the other is to confirm a camp."

They are all elite soldiers in the army, and they are ordered to explore the way ahead.

The fully equipped expeditionary force will move forward along the path they have explored, intercepting the members of the clan. They are obsessed with the Khan's dispute and will not notice the border cavalry that suddenly came out from the rear.

At this moment, the enemy is in the dark.

It's just that the path to the Khan and the time of the Khan's dispute have always been top secrets of the royal court.

Now that the border war has started, the invasion of several large clans has become more and more intense.

The Khan entered the king's tent, and it was another ten-year disaster for the people. The scout captain didn't know what his general was thinking. He just needed to faithfully execute orders.

There was no reason, only what to do.

The scout captain looked at the remnants of the thirty people around him, and only nine survived.

Even the old horse that had accompanied him for many years died.

They had used their lives to explore a safe and stable path, and they were sure that this road was absolutely safe.

The only cavalry team that found them was also killed by the muskets of the mercenaries in front of them.

The location of the camp was excellent, with high terrain and small hills on all sides.

There were very few monsters nearby.

They had hardly seen any of the huge monsters along the way.

If they wanted to continue the plan, it would be impossible to rely on their scout team that had been almost completely destroyed.

They were meat to be slaughtered on this vast plain without their horses.

"You said, you are mercenaries, how much do you need to hire you?"

Perhaps it was destiny that refused to let them stop here.

He looked up at the general with a kind expression, the head of the mercenaries.

The man was wearing ordinary cloth and was respected by all the soldiers in the camp. The general who was full of murderous aura also saluted him and sat in front of him waiting to speak.

This kind of temperament has only been seen in those victorious generals. They are calm and confident in themselves.

A brave soldier will lead a brave general.

The scout captain believes in his own judgment.

The soldiers under this man are not weak. If they can be set up as outposts here...

"One thousand taels of gold, okay?"

Ji Lin agreed quickly.

It's not for the thousand taels of gold. Although he is really short of resources, the thousand taels of gold should be converted into two to three thousand gold, depending on the quality, which is almost the output of his territory for a month.

It's still quite profitable.

The tasks displayed by the system for him:

'Break the Royal Court'

'Automatically join the camp after signing: Border Army'

'A place of life and death, you can die or live. Be brave and face life and death. '

'Phase: Get the location of the clan camp and pass the information to the expeditionary army'

The new camp, such as this kind of exercise battlefield with NPC camps, lords can participate on their own. Different camps fight each other separately, rather than a complete melee, but quite a few lords seem to prefer to fight first and then consider other things after the fight.

The first thing they did was to collect the bodies of other scouts. They sent out spider hunters to search and found all the bodies. The horses did not survive. They gathered all the scout bodies together, took off their chain mail, put away their long swords and spears, and handed them to the scout captain for safekeeping. The other party nodded and said nothing, and solemnly put them away.

A separate grave was dug for them on the spot, the bodies were buried, and a simple tombstone was made for them with wood.

There was no wine in the camp, and the territory did not have any crops that were particularly suitable for fermenting into wine. Beer brewed from wheat requires hops. Perhaps the territory can consider using mature sugarcane to brew white wine.

The scout captain who ended everything seemed to be much more relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned around and became a little more energetic, and asked Ji Lin about relevant matters, until he mentioned that he needed to go back to report the situation and needed a vehicle for transportation.

"What? You don't have cavalry?"

If there were no horses, how did you get here? How dare you run to such a place?

The scout captain choked on his words and didn't say them.

He thought that the cavalry in the camp were just wandering outside, but he didn't expect that these people really dared to approach the grassland without cavalry. It was not courageous.

There was a kind of bravery of a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger.

"No, not that we don't have it."

We still have cavalry.

Holding his face, Ji Lin asked Chang Heng to start the steam spiders that had been lying down for a long time and inject fuel into them.

"Xu Shan."

Xu Shan had a bitter face, and he had guessed what his leader was going to do.

Although the upper part is not particularly hot because of the isolation baffle used to protect the thinking core, and the exhaust pipe is also placed at the tail of the steam spider, it still generates a lot of waste heat.

Tolerating such a thing next to you is already a test of human endurance.

Riding this kind of thing will test one's nerves.

Putting aside safety and stability, the movement speed of this all-terrain unit is definitely not slow.

Watching the steam spider gradually getting up from the ground, shaking its head and spewing steam and stretching its six limbs, the scout captain was shocked. He didn't expect that there was such an amazing machine in the world.

"By installing wooden protective partitions and fixing them with saddles, a small platform that can accommodate several people can be built, but the stability cannot be guaranteed. This thing was built without considering overloading."

At least it can accommodate people, right?

Xu Shan handed his plan to Ji Lin.

And these scouts still have the remaining task to complete, which is to determine the location of the remaining clans.

The system even marked that there are only three clans left for him to scout.

There are more than a dozen clans, and now there are only three left. The efficiency of these people's actions is amazing. Should we say that they are lords at the same stage as himself...

However, according to the speed at which he swept the monsters nearby, there will not be too many other resources left. Even if half of the lords are reduced, there are still more than a hundred lords surviving. These more than a hundred people are equivalent to a 1,000-man army for each person, which is equivalent to a 100,000-man army.

I just don't know what these lords are doing when their resources are almost exhausted.

(Thinking, I feel that the data is a bit less after opening the dungeon. I have been looking for similar books to refer to during this period, but I didn't find any. Ahaha, I can only write it down, but I have received what you want to read~)
