Volume Two The Fallen Light Chapter 66 The Snow Fox Thief...
The weak Ekaterina was riding on the grape, and Elos was holding the grape and Joan of Arc as they marched along the border between Cyril and Albrex. The weak Ekaterina was sitting on the grape.
In order to prevent the news from leaking out, the three of them never entered the town and could only stay in hiding along the border day and night.
Eloise and Jeanne didn't take it seriously that they had to eat and sleep in the open air along the way, but Ekaterina had never experienced such hardship.
When Ekaterina was hunted down a few days ago, although those two days of escape were more painful and unforgettable, they were only short-lived. In the current days, such a difficult life is day after day, even though she has become very strong now.
She was just trying to hold on.
Looking at the emaciated Ekaterina, Elos was helpless. They could only have a good rest after arriving in Catalonia, the mercenary city of Cyril.
After all, their identities are too sensitive, and Ekaterina's bounty is too high. It has now risen to one million gold galleons, which is enough to drive the underground world crazy.
Only by arriving in Catalonia and using the cover of the Golden Company as mercenaries could they avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Princess Yekaterina, just hold on for a few more days. We will soon arrive in Catalonia." Ilos said to Yekaterina apologetically. Although the problem was not caused by him, he
His character makes him take on many responsibilities that should not be his.
Yekaterina smiled brightly, and the heavy dust could not block her beautiful face: "It doesn't matter, I can still persist, but in fact I have caused you trouble. Also, don't call me princess in the future, my little
My name is Katya, my father and the others have always called me that."
"Okay, Princess Ekaterina." Eloise felt that calling her Katya was a bit too affectionate.
Ekaterina covered her mouth and smiled, not taking it seriously. She knew that Ilosu was a little uncomfortable with being so cold.
Joan of Arc rolled her eyes. She felt that Ekaterina was too delicate and pretentious, while Eloise was mother-in-law, with extremely delicate emotions, and simply didn't look like a man.
At this time, it was almost dawn, the white fish belly appeared in the east, and the sun was about to rise soon.
The three of them walked all night and needed to rest. In order to hide their whereabouts, it was not convenient to walk during the day, so Elos climbed up a nearby low mountain to look for a suitable camping spot.
The target was quickly discovered.
Viewed from the highest point, the lake is like a crescent moon, reflecting a faint light under the faint light of morning light. The trees on the shore of the lake are rare and lush. The lush greenery gradually penetrates along the hillside.
Halfway up the hillside, mottled grass and shrubs can be seen everywhere. All of these on this desolate border are like a bright pearl dotted on a black cloth. Looking around, you can see the newly brightened sky in the distance.
It's like countless clouds are sweeping across it, and it's like thousands of demonic shadows dancing wildly in the sky.
There are water sources and dense forests in this area, and there must be animals in it. You can catch two for barbecue and big tooth sacrifice. Just eating some dry food and dried meat these days is enough.
The dense forest can also cover their tracks, making it a great place for camping.
Immediately, Ilos took Catherine and Jeanne and headed towards the dense forest.
Finally, when the sun completely illuminated the earth, the three of them arrived in the dense forest.
Ekaterina and Joan of Arc took a good bath in the bright lake. After all, prostitution is a woman's world, and even a woman like Joan of Arc would care about it.
Eloise, on the other hand, went deep into the forest to hunt. He was very lucky, and he hunted a big wild boar before he went too far.
This huge wild boar weighed 3,000 pounds and was a dominant presence in this jungle. Unfortunately, it met Iloth and died at the hands of a paladin.
Ilosu dragged the huge wild boar towards the campsite. The huge weight left a deep ravine on the ground, which was shocking. In fact, Ilosu did not use fighting spirit and relied purely on physical strength.
.
Yekaterina and Joan of Arc couldn't help but feel happy when they saw Ilosu dragging the big wild boar back. They could finally have a snack.
However, Joan of Arc secretly sighed: This boy's body is getting more and more abnormal.
In order to avoid exposing traces due to open flames, after Elos cut a large piece of hind leg meat, Joan of Arc set up a barbecue grill, and Ekaterina transformed into a barbecue master and used magic flames to grill the wild boar hind leg.
The meat is grilled.
Not long after, the fragrant smell of roast pork spread, making the three of them swallow their saliva and move their index fingers.
As the excess fat is baked out, the skin becomes golden, and the aroma of the barbecue becomes even more charming, especially after Ilosu sprinkles a lot of salt on it.
It was finally roasted. After Elos cut up the piece of hind leg meat, the three of them immediately started to feast on it. Well, the outside was crispy and the inside was fragrant and juicy. It was truly the best in the world.
The three people who had eaten and drank enough were also a little tired, especially Ekaterina. As a mage, her constitution was too weak. She had not been able to rest well after eating and sleeping all the way. Soon, the three fell into sleep, and only
The grapes were gnawing on the leaves of the shrubs in boredom.
In the distance, bursts of smoke suddenly rose up.
Judging from the smoke and dust, because the raised dust was messy and mixed, it was not like a well-trained knights or a regular army.
Elos, who was sleeping, immediately sensed it, and the sound of galloping horses immediately aroused his alertness.
After waking up Jeanne d'Arc and Catherine from their sleep, Ilosu climbed up the tallest tree and saw clearly what the smoke and dust in the distance was.
There is no uniform standard equipment and clothing, and the chaotic marching formation is probably the famous bandit group that has been entrenched in Albrex and Siril all year round - the Snow Fox Bandit Group.
This bandit group is not large in number, with less than 200 people. Compared with other large bandit groups, it is small in size and makes a living by robbing passing caravans.
However, the Snow Fox Thieves Group has a very strong combat capability. The members are all good at riding on horseback and can come and go like the wind. Their leader's sixth sense is super sharp, and many times he has led the group members to escape from the regular armies of Albrex or Cyril.
Escape.
All the bandit groups in this large area have been wiped out, and only the Snow Fox survived and was still living well, making the border guards of Albrex and Cyril hate it.
The Snow Fox Thieves Group are heading straight towards Ilosu and the others. It seems they also want to supply supplies for the camp. They may get some information. There is a large caravan passing by, and they want to do something big.
The three of them carefully cleaned up the traces of sleeping in the open, and then led Tao Tuo into the depths of the jungle, not wanting to alarm the thieves.
After a while, the Snow Fox Bandits arrived at the lake on the edge of the jungle. They led their horses to the lake to drink water, and then escaped to get dry food and start eating.
Their leader is a middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance, wearing a gray burqa with a fine steel chainmail underneath, carrying two double swords on his back, and a shawl made of snow fox fur around his shoulders.
He is none other than Snow Fox Raymond, who is worth 100,000 gold galleons on the most wanted list of the Xirel Empire.
Standing at the edge of the jungle, with his keen senses, he immediately noticed something was wrong.
Although Eloise and Joan of Arc cleaned up the traces very carefully, how could they hide it from the extremely experienced Snow Fox leader.
As a giant thief who had escaped from the two empires countless times, he could tell at a glance that someone had hurriedly cleaned up the traces here, and then fled deep into the jungle.
Although Snow Fox Raymond didn't know who was camping and escaping, he was worried that the operation would be exposed, so he asked a small leader to take more than 30 people deep into the jungle to investigate and silence them.
Raymond then motioned to a man wearing a robe and a scarf who looked like a magician, "Arize, you should follow."
"Okay, Lord Raymond"
The mage named Aerize took the order and left.
Judging from his pace and movement, he is not as weak as ordinary mages. On the contrary, he is very agile and disappears into the jungle in a few short steps.
