Chapter 1692 Pathfinder

A stone rolled down and landed in front of the horse's hooves. The horses trampled over and crushed the stone. Allen sat on the horse, raised his head, and there was a 100-meter lonely cliff above. The stone rock above sticks out into the void, forming a wave shape. Allen lowered his head and said "be careful" to Lucy who was walking behind. Now they are walking on a winding mountain road. This mountain road goes around the mountain. On the left is a 100-meter cliff, on the right is a cliff, and below is a dense forest. The trees in the Misty Mountains are dark and depressing. Seen from a height, there is a layer of mist that can't be blown away by the wind above the forest, making this mountainous area look very gloomy. There are not many animals in the Misty Mountains, but there are many dangerous beasts. Walking on the mountain road, you can hear various strange calls from the forest below from time to time. It was noon, but the light was dim, and it was definitely not a pleasant place.

The previous scouts had cleared some obstacles on the mountain road, so the march seemed slow, but it was smooth. As he rode his horse and walked slowly, Allen suddenly felt a move in his heart. As soon as he looked up, he heard an extremely gloomy muffled sound, and then a fire burst out from the rock formation above. The rock formation was blasted, and large boulders were thrown towards the mountain path like this.

Sure enough, the Shadow Principality has an ambush here!

"Celine, Laura, protect the army!" Allen said, stepping on the stirrup at the same time, and the whole person rushed upwards. He was almost stepping up the cliff, his hand holding the hilt of the sword was moderately tight. When the first boulder fell, the great black sword that Julian had given him suddenly came out of its sheath.

A sword cry echoed in the sky above the forest.

The already dim light appeared even dimmer, and a golden crescent rose slowly. The crescent moon passed through the falling rocks, and the color of the falling rocks suddenly changed from dark to light, and then scattered like fluff, and fell lightly to the bottom. Allen just followed the passage opened by the crescent moon all the way up, and in a blink of an eye he reached the top of the 100-meter cliff. When he set foot on the top of the cliff, he saw a group of blade demons running forward screaming. Allen had no intention of chasing after him. He stood on the spot and looked around. Except that the top of the cliff was blown down, flames could also be seen hundreds of meters away. cloud of dust.

Returning the sword to its sheath, Allen turned and stepped into the void. There was a circle of golden ripples at the foothold, and he stepped down as if stepping on an invisible ladder. The circle of golden light spread, and Alan came to the mountain road. The army rested on the mountain road. A large number of falling rocks were swept away by Allen with a single stroke, and the rest were taken over by Celine and Lola. Except for a few accidental scratches, and two horses slid down the cliff in fright, the army was not damaged.

Rodke walked back ahead and said to Allen: "The mountain road 300 meters away was blocked by boulders, we killed two scouts, and a section of the mountain road in front collapsed, I am afraid this road will not work. "

Allen said indifferently: "The enemy wants us to go another way. They want us to go to the Esabian Great Tunnel. It should be to let those Abyss creatures who are always in the tunnel deal with us and use it to delay time. "

"It should be so.

"

"Then let's go through the tunnel instead. By the way, Marshal, what are those creatures from the abyss called?"

Rodeck took a deep breath and said, "We are called hellworms."

Turning back from the mountain road, the whole army turned around. Originally, the tail of the team has now become a forward. Allen and the others were at the forefront, but now they are at the end. After retreating down the mountain road, he rode his horse and rushed to the front of the team. Rodeck took the map as a comparison, led the army down the mountain range, and then drilled deep into the dense forest. The forest here is lush, and the map has not been revised for a long time, and the army almost walks and rests for a while. Of course, the marching speed couldn't go any faster, so when the sun went down, Rodek had to order the army to rest in the dense forest. Soldiers sawed down trees that, in addition to clearing out camps, would also be used for fuel.

A woodland was cleared until the night sky was filled with stars. From the sky, it looks like a corner of the dense forest has been dug out. Soldiers use the felled trees to make fire and cook food, while Rodke is busy planning tomorrow's route. After Allen had dinner, he came to his camp and saw that both eyebrows on Rodeck's face were twisted together.

"Marshal, what's the matter?"

"Grand Duke, you are here." Rodke raised his head upon hearing this, pointed to the map and said, "The road ahead will pass through a swamp, which was previously buried for digging a large tunnel, but the current situation is unknown. I have sent scouts to check the situation, but they haven’t come back yet, and I don’t know if they are in any danger.”

Allen walked over and glanced at the map, and the first black line on it really went around a place, where the word "swamp" was marked. Allen asked, "Where is the entrance to the big tunnel?"

Rodke reached out and landed on the black line, rowed forward, nodded on the other side of the swamp and said, "It's right here. The engineer who dug the tunnel thought that it would take the shortest time to get through the mountains from here, so it's on the other side of the swamp." It starts here. There is a gate here, which Esabien calls the Door of Hope. After entering the gate, there will be a underground hall, which was used to store tools and workers' camps. It is also considered that when the army enters the tunnel in the future You can take a rest in the underground hall, and the underground hall should still be there now."

"Well, I'll go explore the way." Allen said simply.

Rodke said happily: "This is the best. With the Grand Duke exploring the way, then I can sleep peacefully. You don't know, people can't accept their old age, and now my old bones can't stand such a toss. "

Allen nodded and walked out. Rodke put away his smile, his expression was completely different from before. He squinted his eyes, and his eyes fell on the swamp. This swamp is called the Pivot of the Dead.

"Are you going to explore the way?"

Back in his camp, after Allen explained the situation, he began to put on the armor, and asked Laura to prepare pens and paper for him, so that he could make a simple drawing when he found that the terrain was different, so as to determine the marching route tomorrow. While putting on the armor for him, Lucy said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't it possible that no one can do this kind of thing for you, and you have to do it yourself. You are not Rodeck's front guard."

Allen pinched her face and said: "Rodek has sent someone, but he didn't come back. He is worried that there is danger in that place. I think it's idle anyway, so I just go for a walk. Don't worry. , There are really not many things that can kill me now."

"Then you have to be careful, don't be careless." Lucy warned.

Laura brought pens and paper, and Alan hid them in the armor. It's a pity that even his space ring was destroyed in the Gate of Flame, otherwise these things could be thrown directly into the space ring, so why bother.

"Okay, I'm leaving, you guys rest early, don't wait for me to come back." After Allen finished speaking, he left the camp alone and disappeared into the shadow of the barracks.
