"Yes, according to the calculation of time, the next trend is not far away."
Some time later, in front of the team, Surtu, who was leading the remaining Sioux people to advance slowly, saw a gray-robed magician next to him. He who had just sent Baibu Wushuang away was now facing
Duan Qing's expression also returned to its previous calmness and seriousness, and his answering voice was full of seriousness: "The time left by God for us to find the next settlement is running out. We must end it before the wave comes."
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Duan Qing could only mutter dullly: "If we set off in such a hurry, what if we don't have time to find a suitable place to settle?"
"The tribe is on the verge of extinction. We must leave." Shaking his head, Surtu's gaze that had been looking forward paused for a moment: "Don't worry, we are not doing this aimlessly.
On our journey, there will definitely be a suitable place waiting for us ahead.”
"Really? Is this the route that keeps walking along the seaside?" Looking at the blue waves not far away from them, Duan Qing's eyes also dropped a little: "The location we are in is also affected by the trend.
The least affected areas?”
"The north, and it's the seaside - according to the geographical distribution I know, this is indeed the farthest place when the storm comes."
His eyes turned to Duan Qing, and Surtu, who was riding a horse and pacing forward slowly, replied in a calm tone: "Since we have been living here, the power of the trend here has been demonstrated.
, far inferior to those I have seen in the center of the continent."
"If there hadn't been this war, that place might really be a suitable place for the Su people to live." There was an inexplicable sigh in his voice: "The Su Ji leader might have predicted such an outcome.
, so I was sent to conduct reconnaissance in this area in the south early."
"So your tribe has already thought about a retreat?" Pointing to the surrounding coast and the direction they were traveling, Duan Qing raised his eyebrows: "How far is it?"
"Why, are you already feeling tired?" Instead of answering the question immediately, Surtu looked at the gray-robed magician with doubtful eyes: "The migration journey has only been going on for less than half a day, and you adventurers are already tired.
Can’t bear it anymore?”
"I'm just a little worried. I'm worried that some other accidents will happen." Looking around here, Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "For example, that Nashi tribe is still lingering and comes here to carry out a sneak attack.
.”
"This threat does exist, and the possibility is very high." Nodding his head seriously, Surtu's voice then raised to the people here: "This is also one of the reasons why we chose to leave that place immediately.
I hope those people will not continue to catch up."
"Speaking of which, is there really any irreconcilable conflict between you and that Nashi tribe?" Duan Qing's brows slowly slowed as he seemed to be remembering the sky-high flames and the never-ending fight a few days ago.
Wrinkled: "Why do they go so far as to kill all your tribe here?"
"...There are indeed some conflicts between our tribes due to various reasons, which are the same as the frictions we once encountered in the central region of the continent." Shaking his head, Surtu replied in a low voice: "These
Something that is commonplace should not arouse so much hatred, so... I don't know why."
"It can't really be for those wind stones, right?" Thinking of a certain possibility, Duan Qing pointed around and said, "Have you ever counted the losses before? For example, how many stones do we have left now?"
"Most of the wind stones used to secure the camp have been plundered, and the remaining ones should not be enough for other members of the tribe to survive." Surtu's voice became deeper when he answered: "After arriving at the new settlement
Before, this was also an urgent problem that needed to be solved, so——"
"Hey, is the current situation of our team so miserable?" Duan Qing's expression even began to turn livid after interrupting the other party: "I simply can't imagine how heavy the burden we will carry in the future.
You have to beware of enemy attacks, and you have to search for ores all over the map..."
"You adventurers don't need to remind you, the warriors of our tribe will also do such things." Surtu answered the other party in a calm voice: "Of course, if you have any good way to find more stones,
On behalf of the Sioux people, I would also like to express my gratitude for your hard work."
"Don't always say such useless things. If you can have money as compensation...ah, no, it's nothing."
The low murmur was then interrupted by his own deliberate denial. Duan Qing, who was looking at each other with his hands, also had a deliberate smile on his face again: "In short, since we have decided to go with you, we will solve all the problems that need to be solved.
Yes, I also hope that you will continue to invite us when you encounter other difficulties, and we will help you wholeheartedly."
"There are no difficulties for the time being, but there is one thing."
The advancing war horse paused for a moment, and correspondingly, Surtuna's body, which was gradually passed by other tribe members, moved in a certain direction towards the seaside. There seemed to be a strange light flowing through his eyes, and he then fell into it.
There was a strange silence for a while, and then he continued what he said before: "I want to go somewhere, do you want to come with me?"
"Ah? Where are you going... Hello!" The words he wanted to ask were left behind as the other party walked away to the front right of the team. Duan Qing, who looked around for a while, finally headed towards the other party towards the beach.
He chased after him: "Why did you suddenly leave the team? If an enemy suddenly comes out - Huh?"
"What's this?"
As the distance approached, the fresh breath of the sea appeared in front of Duan Qing, and part of the waves stirred up by the grassland wind behind him also appeared due to the appearance of two people.
There was a slight rollback, causing the originally calm waves around to swirl a little. He did not notice the significance of the rolling waves and the oncoming sea breeze. All the attention of the gray-robed magician was
It gradually became clear that the sword was stuck upside down in the seaside grass. Surtu, who had jumped off the horse, was half-kneeling on the sword stuck upside down.
In front of the long sword on the ground, there was no movement for a long time like a standing statue: "——Hu."
"This is...your sword?"
"That's right, it's also Kroc's sword."
Nodding his head calmly, Surtu, who was half-kneeling on the ground, continued as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him: "In order to lead the clansmen safely to this land untouched by the world,
, he finally died on the road to the seaside. Before he died, he entrusted the sword to me, hoping that I could inherit his legacy and carry on with the hope of him and other tribesmen."
"I always thought that I had completed this last wish for him, so I left the sword here." He let out a long sigh and reached out to hold the sword hilt tightly: "I didn't expect that I would have to continue in the end.
Take it with you."
"Although I have never heard of this name, it must be a magnificent story." Duan Qing put away the relaxed look on his face, stepped forward and replied in a heavy voice: "If there is a chance,
, please be sure to tell me this story, I will raise the warmest bonfire and prepare the best wine and food."
"Thanks."
The heavy sword chant then echoed between the waves and the wind in the grassland. Surtu slowly pulled up the dark iron sword from the soil: "But if possible, I hope this sword will not be used again."
If we continue to be stained with human blood, that blood will not bring any use and will only prove that we are further and further away from peace."
"Please cheer up, the Sioux people will definitely find the future they deserve." Duan Qing, who folded his arms and lowered his head, facing the sea breeze, replied in a low voice: "I might not have said this before, but after watching
After experiencing so many things and witnessing the strength of the Sioux people, I——"
"Clan leader! Clan leader!"
Before Duan Qing could finish what he said, a Sioux warrior who came from nowhere suddenly appeared behind the two of them: "Chief Sultu! And - uh."
I don't know whether it was because he saw the adventurers present or because he saw the image of Surtu standing in front of him holding a long sword. The anxious-looking Sioux warrior's open mouth paused in the air, noticing this abnormality.
Surtu then turned around and walked slowly in front of the other party: "Have you calmed down? What happened?"
"Yes, the front reconnaissance team is back." After quickly sorting out his emotions, the Sioux warrior replied in a respectful voice: "They are all injured."
"Injured? Did you encounter a battle?" Looking at each other with Duan Qing, Surtu's expression became serious again: "Did you encounter a pack of wolves? Or did you have a conflict with people from other tribes?"
"None of them, if they didn't admit their mistake." The Nasio warrior's voice suddenly became grittier when he answered: "It's the Nashi tribe."
"They said they encountered a fighting team from the Nashi tribe."
*********************************
"What a group of haunting guys! We have already given up and still want to chase them here!"
After returning to the Sioux team, Duan Qing immediately told the rest of his teammates the news, and just as Duan Qing expected, they all jumped out of their original lazy and boring expressions.
He started to wonder: "Where are they? I am worried that the game I played some time ago was not fun enough!"
"Don't get too excited yet. It may not be confirmed that it's them."
Pressing the excited Chaori Dongsheng back to his original position, Duan Qing replied helplessly: "According to the injured Nasu people, the Nashi team only exchanged a few arrows with them from a distance.
Then he retreated hastily, with no intention of engaging in a fight..."
"Perhaps they are just front-line troops who came to conduct reconnaissance. Once they find our whereabouts, they will immediately send follow-up troops." Gedman on the side frowned and said: "If this is really the case,
Then the situation becomes very troublesome.”
"No, this is not necessarily the case." Duan Qing shook his head and pointed to the Sioux team at the front of the team where several people were also discussing something: "Those injured Sioux soldiers will be there at that time.
The detailed description of the encounter was given to us, and judging from their description——"
"That group of Nashi people didn't seem to expect to meet us at all."
He said these words, and at the same time, he set his sights with the other players to the depth of the team in front. Surtu, who was also discussing this topic in that direction, then also pushed back the other tribal warriors and pushed them away.
The uneasiness was also suppressed: "Don't get excited yet, the battle will not restart so easily. Since they just fired a few arrows and ran away, then maybe they are not here to hunt us down."
"Don't let your guard down, just continue to pay attention to what's going on around you." He responded to the expectant eyes gathered on him, and at the same time stretched out his finger towards the front of the team: "It's already very dark, let's take a rest first.
Let the people from Lufen Chamber of Commerce prepare the carriage, we will rely on the carriage first——"
"Patriarch! Patriarch!" Loud shouts came from far to near, interrupting Surtu's words again: "Patriarch! We have captured an enemy of the Nashi tribe!"
"——What?" The light in his eyes became more and more strange. Surtu, who put away his gestures, stared at the figures of several other tribal warriors running forward: "Enemies of the Nashi tribe?"
"That's right! He confessed it himself!"
Escorting a very weak-looking man, several soldiers followed each other and came to Surtu: "We found him on the grassland in front! He was blocking the way we were about to move forward!
"
"Because otherwise, you won't be able to find me, hahahaha." Before Surtu could continue to ask questions, the weak man who was being held in the center chuckled and said, "What if... it's true?"
If I miss it, I might really die."
"What did you say?" Surtu, who approached the prisoner and took two steps forward, stared at the face of the man with disheveled hair and scars in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze: "Who are you?
"
"As your tribe said just now, I am a Nashi tribesman." His face was buried in the movement of lowering his head, and the weak man replied with a nonchalant laugh: "My name is Shi Ayun."
"I wonder if you have heard of this name."
