In the early morning, the mist in the mountains and forests has not dissipated. The light mist flows slowly in the mountains, making the lower slopes look like a fairyland on earth.
The second team, led by Surdak, left the station of the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment at the Forest Farm in Handanar County. The dew on the grass leaves soaked the corners of the soldiers' trousers, and the wet linen trousers stuck to the
My legs felt so cold that I couldn't move forward, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
All members of the team carried a total of seven days of marching rations, and Suldak planned to treat this search and rescue mission as a field training for the team.
This is also the first time that Surdak has led all members of the second team on a mission together after becoming the captain.
A few days ago, Surdak and his team members also entered the northern part of the forest farm and hunted red-eyed hyenas in the Gandaur Mountains.
But that time it was a net-casting operation organized by the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment. The second team only sent five experienced veterans to participate in the hunting operation. Surdak was only one of them and did not receive a command.
right.
This time he went on a solo mission. As the captain, Surdak not only made a comprehensive plan overnight, but also received a simple parchment map from Baron Sidney. There were some simple lines on the parchment map, which outlined the
Trends in the Gandhar Mountains.
Suldak proudly unfolded the parchment map, pointed to an area, and said to He Boqiang: "You see, this is the location of our camp."
Looking at the map, which was only one foot square, He Boqiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This kind of hand-drawn simple map can only mark the approximate location of the camp. This kind of map is actually used to record. When entering the Gandaur Mountains, all the iconic reference objects encountered along the way are marked on the map.
Go up, this way you won't get lost in the mountains.
This knowledge is all in the memory fragments of the original owner. He Boqiang has been sorting out the memory fragments in the spiritual world recently when he has time, so he has gained a lot of experience.
Although currently communicating with Surdak, he can only express himself through simple gestures.
But Suldak didn't seem to care at all. He always liked to drag He Boqiang to talk about this and that, but what he usually talked about the most was his hometown of Wall Village on the outskirts of Helensa City.
According to Suldak, the small village was far away from the war, and the fields were filled with fields of wheat.
Standing in the golden wheat field in autumn, open your arms, face the sun and close your eyes, enjoying the warmth of that beam of light.
When the wind with a faint scent of wheat straw blows by your ears, it is like a wonderful bagpipe...
…
The goal of the second team's mission this time is to find a Bena swordsman in Gandaur Mountain and bring him back to the camp.
Baron Sidney received the following news:
This Bena swordsman was a Constructed Swordsman from the main Constructed Knights under Duke Newman. He chased an injured evil ghost from the Kemperto River in the northwest of Handanar County and entered Ganda.
The Ere Mountains, and his whereabouts have since been unknown.
The identity of the swordsman was not mentioned in the official document, but everyone guessed that the swordsman must be a big shot. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Duke Newman to issue a military order and order all the regiments stationed in the Gandaur Mountains to send out reconnaissance teams to find Bei.
The whereabouts of the swordsman.
After receiving this mission, Surdak's second team got into the dense forest of Mount Gandaur before the fog in the forest cleared.
At the same time as the second team, there were sixteen other teams of the infantry regiment. These teams went deep into the vast mountains and soon disappeared in the dense forest.
…
Surdak led the second team along the edge of the eastern area of the forest farm and detoured to a mountain ridge. There happened to be a river valley below the mountain ridge that stretched for tens of kilometers. The team searched northeast along the mountain ridge, searching all the way.
You won't be troubled by water source problems.
Surdak didn't have much hope that he could find the Bena swordsman. The Gandaur Mountains wind for hundreds of kilometers and span Kempator County and Handanar County on the Warsaw plane.
and Ortans County.
Let alone a swordsman walking alone through the mountains and forests, even if the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment walked into this mountain, it would not cause any splash.
The mountain forest is not always so dense. The soil around the forest farm is fertile, so patches of fir, red pine and oak can grow to form a woodland.
After walking out of the forest farm, the hillside suddenly opened up. In addition to waist-high weeds, the hillside was covered with low trees. Clusters of wild blueberries popped up among the weeds. As for the wild grapevines,
Climbing all over the hillside, the clusters of grapes on the vines are green and astringent. Only when they are completely ripe will they attract a kind of short-tailed turtle dove that lives nearby.
Surdak stood on a big rock on the hillside, holding the parchment map in his hand, frowning and looking at it for a long time, but could not see anything.
At the foot of the mountain is a trickling river valley, with lush water and grass on both sides, and bushes a little further away from the river.
There is a herd of one-horned bison on the other side of the lake and river, and a few crystal lions are lurking behind the rocks. However, their fur shows the color of flowing mercury in the sunlight, so no matter how much they are covered up, they are still easily exposed and hidden.
Location.
However, this kind of crystal lion runs faster than a cheetah. As long as they get within a hundred meters, these bison cannot escape no matter what.
Because the fur of crystal lions is very precious, they are like a piece of gold that can run in the eyes of hunters. A large number of hunters poured into the Warsaw plane specifically to hunt the spiny-tailed crystal lions unique to this plane.
Therefore, the crystal lions living on the edge of the Gandhar Mountains have become increasingly rare.
If it weren't for the fact that the second team had no confidence that they could defeat a crystal lion, Suldak would probably give up this mission without hesitation and directly guard the river until all these crystal lions were captured.
But now, Surdak could only take a glance at it from a distance, and then continue to move forward with the second team.
For the two recruits of the second team, this is undoubtedly a very novel place. They will marvel at every new discovery they make. This is different from the veterans, who only care about things that are useful or dangerous to them.
.
When they encounter dangerous things, they will stay away from them.
When they encounter something useful, they will walk up to it and take it for themselves.
The hyena-skin mattresses that Surdak prepared for the team members were of great help. The humidity in the mountains during this season is very high. If you set up a tent and lie on the grass to sleep all night, your whole back will be wet when you get up early in the morning.
Yes, this kind of red-eyed hyena leather is very moisture-proof. Lying on it will quickly relieve you from the fatigue of the day.
…
After walking northeast along the mountain valley for two days, I found several indigenous people on the other side of the river.
They were several indigenous women surrounded by animal skins. They walked in a row from the forest path, each of them carrying a clay pot on their head.
After arriving at the river, they began to squat by the river to fetch water. These women were very vigilant and only stayed at the river for a few dozen seconds. After they filled the pots with water, they quickly left the river.
