Working Prophet

Things were just as Iron Spear said, this army of more than 5,000 people was really moving towards the Dragon's Back Mountains.

When the ten savage captives in the team saw the rolling mountains in the distance, their faces also showed surprise.

After being captured, they thought they would never return to this familiar mountain.

At this time, Miss Rabbit, who was at the front of the team, also raised her head and looked at the towering mountain in front of her.

Then she suddenly ordered the army to stop advancing, and the few nobles who followed her looked at each other, one of them patted his horse forward, respectful to the female lord.

"Commander, why do you want to stop? The morale of the team is at its peak right now, and everyone wants to rush into the mountains to kill the savages."

"Don't worry," the girl said, "Say hello to the aborigines here first."

"Aborigines, are you referring to the savage tribes in the mountains? I think it's better not to let them know about our arrival."

"Our arrival cannot be hidden from them." The female lord shook her head and said, "And the aborigines I am talking about are not them."

"Those savages were forced up the mountain by the dwarves on the opposite side. Strictly speaking, they are guests of this mountain range just like us, but they came a little earlier than us. The aborigines I'm talking about have lived here much longer than them. .”

"Besides those savages, are there other people in the mountains?" The nobleman was a little surprised. "Why have I never heard of them?"

Miss Rabbit did not answer his question, but just said, "Wait a while."

After Ilea finished speaking, three monks wearing green cloaks walked out of the crowd.

They didn't stop until they reached the foot of the mountain.

Then he took on the classic prayer posture of Shuangxiujiao and started praying there.

Although the nobles were a little anxious, they did not rush the female lord who had just witnessed Saturday's miracle before leaving.

But the nobleman who came to see Miss Rabbit before came to see her again after a while.

"Lady Ilea, waiting is just waiting. Why don't you send someone to explore the way first?"

"Exploring the path?"

"That's right. This mountain is a bit weird. The Marquis and the 10,000 elites led by him are trapped in it. We should be more cautious.

"I am Custer, the 'shooter' from the Frederiksen family, and I am willing to be a forward for the army." Custer volunteered.

Miss Rabbit originally wanted to say no, Shuangxiujiao had many investigative methods, which were beyond the capabilities of ordinary scouts.

But when the words came to his mouth, he thought about it, swallowed it back, nodded and said, "Okay, then you go."

The archer took the order, ordered twelve light cavalry from the people he led, and set off immediately.

The remaining people continued to stay outside the valley. It was not until many people became impatient with waiting that the three monks came back.

The shortest among them, Hugh, walked up to the female lord, bowed to the latter, and said, "The greeting is already done, and the gift is ten carts of radishes and ten carts of wheat."

"no problem."

Miss Rabbit has already offered rewards of tens of thousands of golden lions, and she no longer cares about such a small amount of money. After asking people to keep the specified amount of wheat and radishes, she waved her hand and announced that everyone will continue to move forward.

None of the other nobles knew what kind of medicine the female lord was selling in her gourd.

But seeing that they were able to set off again, everyone was overjoyed, and at this time Custer also sent someone back to report that there was no danger ahead, and they hadn't seen those savages for the time being.

So the female lord also led the army to officially enter the Dragon's Back Mountain Range.

And not long after they left, the originally peaceful valley outside suddenly became lively.

This hustle and bustle lasted for about two hours, and then it became quiet again, as if no one had ever been there.

But the carrots and wheat on the cart disappeared.

Before setting off, the female lord asked Morse for a horse specifically for the big hand to travel, but the latter refused.

Although he is a groom, he actually does not know how to ride a horse and has little chance to ride one.

Dashou didn't really understand why Ilea took him with him, because he had already proved that he couldn't understand what those savages were saying, so it was reasonable to say that it wouldn't help much.

But the new female lord told him that he might still meet people from his mother's tribe in the future, and then his big hands would come in handy.

In addition, he also knew this mountain better than anyone else, and he was also assigned to guard the savage captives.

Thinking of this, Dashou glanced at the ten savages behind him. Ever since they entered the mountain, their faces were filled with excitement. Even without talking, Dashou could know what they were thinking at the moment.

And this was something he couldn't understand. In Dashou's opinion, these guys were completely useless, and putting them in the army would only cause more trouble.

But he didn't say these words to Ilea, because he was just a groom and had no qualifications to tell a nobleman.

Da Shou only hoped that he could return to Yanxue City safely this time and return to his wife and children.

After walking in the mountains for half a day, everyone gradually discovered some traces left by the troops in front.

This excited the nobles who came to rescue Marquis Cullen and his own elite. But at the same time, as the team progressed, their nerves became tense again.

He kept looking at the surrounding woods and bushes, fearing that enemies might suddenly appear from there.

On the contrary, Ilea, the commander-in-chief, still looked calm and composed and even took off part of his armor because it was too heavy.

When it was time for dinner in the evening, Miss Rabbit found the person in charge of secretly monitoring Dashou and asked him if Dashou had any private actions with those savages.

The answer she got was a bit disappointing to the female lord. According to the intelligence of the people following the work stoppage, Dashou had no communication with the savages along the way.

He seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from those guys.

"If you're so careful, there must be something wrong." Miss Rabbit rubbed her chin and said, "Is it because there are still too many people around, do you want to create some better conditions for him?

"In addition, the guy from the Frederickson family, nicknamed Archer, also looks a bit suspicious, and he took the initiative to be the vanguard. Wouldn't it be convenient for him to inform those dwarves hiding in the dark?"

"Those dwarves are not here." Greta said, "I asked my mouse friends nearby."

"Can your mouse friends help us find Marquis Cullen?" Miss Rabbit asked, "Ten thousand people are quite conspicuous."

"Yes, but it will take some time." Greta said, "And they are different from humans. Once they exceed a certain number, they have no idea.

"One hundred people and ten thousand people are both very, very large to them, and they can't tell the difference between dwarves, savages and orcs."
