Roland picked up Nyx from the castle, and the two mounted their horses, escorted by the guards, and headed to the Swift River to meet the White-Winged King.
…
"...I really...damn it!" The White Wing King looked at his soaked clothes with disgust. He would have put on the armor if he had known!
"The monsters in the river really deserve to die!" Bai Yi complained as he took off a half-embedded scale from his inner armor.
"Hey! Friend! Maybe you need help?" Roland rode over with Nyx.
"I'm glad to see you, King Roland, but to forgive my rudeness, I have to clean up these things on my body first!" Bai Yi pointed at the various scales embedded in his body.
"What's going on?" Roland was stunned. Good guy! It was as if the White Wing King had been shot by someone with a metal storm. Except for the inner armor, the coat he was wearing had been torn into strips.
"Hey! We encountered a monster! My little broken boat is even more painted with magic patterns than your boat. The wooden boat almost overturned!" Bai Yi said with lingering fear.
"Uh..." Roland was stunned. Ever since he had Yunfeng, he had enchanted Roland's fishing boat in his free time. As a result, there were almost no blind monsters attacking the fishermen. The biggest incident was tearing the fishing nets apart. Shattered into pieces, Bai Yi reminded Roland again of the fear of being dominated by monsters...
"Are you okay?" Roland quickly covered it with holy light.
Bai Yi, who was already fine, smiled. After a while, the wounds would heal on their own, and there was nothing else except some shallow wounds on Bai Yi's body.
"It's okay!" Bai Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. The main reason was that this suit was a bit embarrassing, and being dressed like a beggar made him look a bit unworthy of a nobleman.
"What on earth were you attacked by? To beat you like this?" Roland was not worried about Bai Yi, but he was curious about what kind of monster could be beaten into this shape? He should avoid it when he sees it in the future.
"Burst the turtle!" Bai Yi's face darkened, as if he was remembering this dark history that he couldn't bear to look back on.
"..." The corner of Roland's mouth twitched. How hard does it take for a turtle to be beaten like this by a turtle? A turtle only has a dozen or so large scales that can splash out, but look at the appearance of the Akvia Kingdom's group. Not just one fish can fight like this! At least there must be as many as a school of fish!
"We were attacked by a school of fish! The boat was half sunk! If the distance between the two banks wasn't so far, I guess we would have had to swim over!" Bai Yi said with a dark face.
"Do you have any extra clothes?" Bai Yi looked at Roland with some embarrassment.
"..." Roland sighed helplessly and asked Bai Yi to find a new set of clothes from the system space.
"Just wear it!" Roland said helplessly. Although it is not very good-looking, at least it is much more decent than what he is wearing now.
"Okay! I'll go change my clothes first!" Bai Yi gratefully took the clothes and walked back to the ship.
Only then did Roland take a closer look at the boat White Wing was riding in. It was not big, only about ten meters in length. At least it had an extra cabin, but now the cabin was already leaking, and it was penetrated by the scales shot by the turtle. Light, the boat is covered with turtle scales...
Roland couldn't help but feel a toothache. It could be said that Baiyi's boat was definitely the most handsome of all the boats in the fishing port!
(The fishing port pier is a small pier built by fishermen on the river bank opposite Rapid City, used to berth ships, unload fish, etc...)
…
"Hello! Your beautiful Grand Duke, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Bai Yi stroked his chest and performed a knight's salute. It wasn't that he didn't want a gentleman's kiss on the hand, but the key was that Roland's eyes were so sharp that he was always ready to take a knife...
In addition, the sixth-level hero Ormsk next to him brings a lot of pressure to the mountain. Baiyi takes care of his own knight Maple Leaf and Ziji, but he can't compete with others, so he is an unusual gentleman.
"Yeah! You can teach me!" Roland nodded with satisfaction, feeling very happy in his heart. At least this guy is very discerning, isn't he? What Roland hates most is the behavior of so-called gentlemen in the West who are so attentive to other people's fiancées and wives.
If Baiyi knew what Roland was thinking, he would definitely complain, for example, asking Roland and Ormsk to put away the sharp knight swords at their waists or something...
…
"What are you going to do? There's no way I'm going to let my troops open the Old Forest Road! This is going to end in death!" Bai Yi pointed at the map.
Although the Old Forest Road is a good place, it has a good foundation and is very gentle along the way. It is an excellent trade road for caravans. However, at the time of scoring, the orc army in Dol Guldur was still here and they wanted to pass through this place on a large scale.
The road is tantamount to seeking your own death... Orcs will cut you off at will! Even if the Orc soldiers can be suppressed by your accompanying army, those Ringwraiths can kill them all with just a few back and forth in the middle of the night.
, it is reasonable for Bai Yi to be shocked and pale.
"Am I crazy? I'm going to take the old forest road? Who knows that broken road better than me?" Roland almost started to curse. He would be in a hurry with anyone who wanted to take the old forest road. That thing can't walk at all, it just goes everywhere.
The visible monsters are enough to make people collapse.
"What's your plan?" Bai Yi asked confused.
"By way of the Woodland Kingdom! Walking west from the middle of the magic stream is the territory of the Beorn people. There is a gathering place for the Northland humans established by Beorn, the natural druid of the Bearskin family!" Roland pointed at the map and gestured.
After a moment's notice, this was exactly the route map of the Gushan Expedition.
"When we get here, we can make supplies in the town of Carlock. I believe Beorn and the others also need goods! Next to it is the Karl Rock Ferry!" Roland continued to explain, while Bai Yi listened carefully to Roland's story.
"After passing the ferry, we can head directly towards the old pass! On the other side of the western side of the old pass is Rivendell! After Rivendell is the Eastern Avenue! Our mission is completed!" Roland nuzzled.
"Sounds good!" Bai Yi nodded.
"I don't know the specific situation. You should also know that my kingdom is more like a tribe than a kingdom! We tribes in the north don't know much about the situation here. I hope you won't betray our trust!" Bai Yi said solemnly.
Looking at Roland, the northern tribes who are unfamiliar with this place can only place their hopes on others. They still need time to get familiar with and explore this unknown land...
"Of course! The most difficult thing here is to ensure control of the old pass! We need to garrison there! If the orcs capture this place... the consequences will be disastrous!" Roland said solemnly.
"My kingdom is unable to maintain an army stationed abroad! Please understand..." Bai Yi sighed. He could not maintain the supplies and rotations required for an army hundreds of miles away.
White Wing is very helpless. In fact, with the poor number of troops in the Kingdom of Akvia, it is good to be able to stay on the other side of the river... However, Roland heard that they have begun to accept human refugees from the northern region. Maybe as long as
They will be much better after they get through this period of labor pains.
