The first impression that the Bailin plane brought to Surdak was that the color of the plants was lighter, like a world for those with mild color weakness.
This road leading to the north along the river is covered with chest-high white dry reeds on one side, and on the slope on the other side is covered with a kind of wild grass called sword grass.
Thorny vines make this seemingly flat slope not so easy to walk on. Those vines block it like a snagging rope.
When the cavalry battalion was taking a short rest, the Gubolai horse was led to the slope by the guides to graze.
"This is the ranch of the Goss family. It is very large. It will take us about a day. They have raised at least 5,000 Gubo horses here and have fourteen herds of horses. Morning and evening, the herdsmen will bring the horses
The herd rushed to the river to drink water, and the road we were going to take happened to pass through the pastoral area, and the noble men of the Goss family did not mind the passing horses eating some wild grass on the roadside." A guide introduced to Suldak,
The accent of Imperial Language is a little weird, but people can understand what he is saying.
"How long do we have before we can get out of this grassland!" Suldak squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. The grassland could not be seen to the end.
The guide replied: "I'm afraid we won't be able to pass through this pasture today. We will camp next to the river upstream at night. We will not be able to leave this pasture until tomorrow morning. Then we will arrive at the village of Desovotz in the evening. We can stay overnight in a villager's house.
, the cavalry battalion can camp outside the village. The girls in that village are very enthusiastic. If the Baron needs to make arrangements, you can tell me in advance."
Standing on Gulitum's shoulders, Andrew looked towards the pasture in the distance and couldn't help but sigh: "This pasture is really big."
The guide stood aside, looking up at Andrew on the ogre's shoulder with some awe, and explained: "The Goss family participated in the initial development of the Bailin plane, and this pasture was probably exchanged for a larger piece of land.
Yes, in fact, this pasture only extends north along the river. Pasture without water sources is not valuable here. After all, no one is willing to drive the horses for a long time just to drink a sip of water."
Andrew jumped down from the ogre's shoulders and said to the guide: "Even if there is no river, you can still dig a well."
"In Bailin, you have many choices."
When the guide said this, a look of pride appeared on his face.
The rest time is always very short, mainly because the new recruits in the cavalry battalion are not used to riding horses for long periods of time, and they cannot eat, drink, and eat on horseback, so they have to dismount and rest every once in a while. Even so,
Many recruits had their thighs and inner legs worn out. When they dismounted and walked, they grinned and bent their legs, walking like a duck, which looked funny and ridiculous.
However, no one complained about the hardship and exhaustion of this kind of marching life. They were a group of recruits who came out of a deserted land. They had not eaten enough of the marching rations made into a paste. For fried wheat flour, dehydrated dried vegetables, dried
I was looking forward to the marching rations containing meat meal and salt, and wished I could eat them three times a day.
Even the guide felt that the marching rations distributed by the Green Empire were the most convenient food to eat. All you needed was to light a fire and boil a pot of hot water. If it was an emergency, it would not be difficult to swallow even if you use cold water.
"It's good, but it's too expensive. Two of these marching rations can be sold for one silver coin in Wilkes. With one silver coin, you can order a plate of war in the best restaurant in Wilkes City."
Ax steak, only the Bena troops stationed here will have the luxury to eat this kind of food." The guide said with great envy.
As soon as these words were said, these marching rations immediately went up a notch.
The cavalry battalion continued north.
In the afternoon, I finally saw a business group of nearly a hundred people in front of the avenue. There were more than twenty four-wheeled carriages filled with various supplies. The supplies on the trucks were also various. Most of the supplies were
Packed into wooden boxes or some linen bags, it is difficult to guess what kind of goods are contained inside.
A mercenary group was walking in front of the caravan and noticed a cavalry group appearing in the rear. Several mercenaries in front of them rode around to the rear of the caravan. Although they did not rush over, they were paying attention to the cavalry battalion.
The cavalry battalion did not move very fast, but horses could still easily catch up with the four-wheeled carriages in the caravan. When the distance between the two sides was reduced to within a hundred meters, the steward of the caravan and the leader of the mercenary group walked out of the team at the same time.
After greeting Surdak proactively, they saw the noble badge on Surdak's chest, and most of the vigilance in their eyes dissipated.
"Lord Baron, where are you going?" The caravan steward jumped off his horse and asked humbly, standing in front of Suldak.
Surdak felt that this kind of thing was not a secret, so he replied: "Dodan Town!"
The caravan steward grinned and said, "Oh, it's actually so far away. If I remember correctly, that's the northernmost border of our occupied area."
Surdak also asked: "Where are you going?"
The caravan manager looked back at the caravan and replied in a low voice: "There is no specific destination for the time being. We just want to sell these goods and then go to the Vale Valley to buy some black iron concentrate and sell them to Bena City."
Many business groups on the plane will organize such caravans to travel between Bena City and Wilkes City. However, whether it is in Bena City or Wilkes City, during the time when the caravan is traveling back and forth, no matter whether it is in Bena City or Wilkes City,
When coming or going, the car will always transport some local high-quality and cheap goods to another city for sale. As long as it is profitable, there is nothing that cannot be sold.
The caravan manager had a reserved conversation with Surdak, and actually moved two boxes of cactus fruits from the truck to give to the cavalry battalion, and also asked the four-wheel carriage of the convoy to stop by the roadside to make way for the cavalry battalion.
The two boxes of cactus fruits were divided evenly among the 500 cavalrymen, giving each of them exactly one.
Eating one of this sweet fruit during the journey can indeed make people feel happy. Although the cost is not much, the caravan's cunning behavior has won the favor of many cavalrymen.
Selena, who was riding a white camel, and Samira, the half-elf archer, each shared a few more berries. No one seemed to notice that Selena secretly stretched out a small white hand from under her skirt, grabbing a cactus fruit.
Retract quickly.
After nightfall, the cavalry camp camped on a slope by the river. The recruits were quite skilled at setting up tents, and the food was simple marching rations.
The recruits fetched some water from the river, and the veterans had already taken out the fire-gathering scroll, unfolded it, and lit the bonfire for cooking...
