Chapter 4 Dust's Ambition (4)
So the reconnaissance team was simply organized: five soldiers who had been hunters, Dust, Grahyde, and Ella.
There were also three thousand soldiers following behind and escorting the troops.
When he arrived in front of the forest, Dust finally couldn't help it: "Is this going to investigate or fight? Even the tiger is about to run away when he sees this lineup. Do you still want to find someone?"
"That's right!" Ella echoed unconsciously behind, "You stop here, Master will take me there!"
"Your Majesty!" Amy grabbed Ella's shoulder and shook, "What are you sick? Even if you want to lead the team to charge, I admit that you are going to the scout team, what are you doing?"
"I am a disciple of the master! I have learned all the skills of the master!" Ella argued, "And I have learned swordsmanship now, what's the problem?"
"Your Majesty! Are you a little conscious of your swordsmanship..."
"What's wrong with my swordsmanship? I just defeated two natural-level liars alone! Master, let me talk about it... Master?"
Ella looked back and saw Dust, Graheide, and the five hunters were gone.
"Run quickly, don't stop!" Dust urged hard in the forest, "The maid can't persuade the Swedish king. If she stops, she will be caught up by the Swedish king soon!"
"Is it necessary to be so fast?" Graheide was a little panting. The road in the forest was not suitable for running, but Dust led the way with a 100-meter sprint. "It has been so far. Even if the Swedish king catches up, he can't find us, right?"
Dust's physical strength was not better than Grahead, but he could run forward with all his might, just like chasing a wolf from behind.
"What are you thinking? You've only run a few steps now?" Dust shouted, "I trained the King of Sweden. Even if we run for another three days, she can find us with her eyes closed!"
"Yes, if we want to run like this for three days, we will die." Five soldiers lay on the tree and gasped. "Although the Swedish king is very magical, he is still a girl in terms of physical strength. It should be enough to run here, right?"
"What do you think! Even if your Swedish king is stabbed immediately, he can chase him here alive! Do you know what a dragon knight is? I discovered it when I was training her. If she didn't tie a few pounds of sand on her legs, she wouldn't be able to use up her strength at all!"
Having said that, Dust couldn't hold on anymore, and his legs fell to the ground as soon as he weakened.
"Dar, what Dust said this time makes sense." Graheide gasped, "The Swedish king still has the Knight's scabbard on his body. If we try our best, we will be caught up sooner or later. We have to think of some other methods."
"Yes... when I think of the Swedish king chasing me behind, I forgot. I'll put this on and leave."
Dust took out a few pairs of boots from the package. The boots were very strange in shape, with a high sole, as wide as an ordinary shoe, but narrower at the bottom than the palm of the hand.
"This is a deer's hoof, this is a wolf's hoof, and a magical cow's hoof... If you replace these, you will not be tracked down by the Swedish king. As long as the Swedish king cannot find us, our enemies should not be able to find us either."
Grahead glanced at the narrow sole of the deer hoof: "Forget it, the deer hoof is easy to fall, right? We haven't learned acrobatics!"
"Of course you can fall when walking with your feet! But have you ever seen a deer with only two hoofs?" Dust threw two pairs of deer hoof boots in the direction of Graheide, "Put your hands on! Walk on your tumbling!"
Although Graheide didn't know whether this kind of thing worked, they spent the day safely and were not discovered by Ella. The next morning, they ate the dry food they brought under the tree. Dust also made a bowl of soup with wild vegetables and mushrooms he found, but no one else had seen these ingredients. They didn't dare to drink them except Dust.
"No... why did our goal become that the King of Sweden has not been found?" Graheide suddenly reacted while gnawing on bread and grabbed Dust who was drinking soup. "Only a few of us, such a big forest, how should we complete the task?"
Dust was choked: "Cough, cough, why are you doing so anxious? Can you tell me after breakfast?"
"Don't delay the time! You let me learn to climb animals for a day! Otherwise, I'll ride you back and ask the King of Sweden!"
"It is not unrealistic to just rely on seven people to search the entire forest. But there is no need for us to do this." Dust pointed to the soup in the pot, "As you see, if people want to live, they have to eat and drink water. Especially water, if they want to hide in this forest for a long time, they must find water. The more people, the larger the water source you have to be with. You are an Englishman, tell me, what is the largest water source in this forest?"
"You are just smart? There is a river, but the former reconnaissance team has searched here and found nothing!"
"This means that the other party is also hiding whereabouts! But it is impossible not to rely on the river. The enemy will come to get water sooner or later! We just need to wait for the rabbit near the river."
"Waiting for the rabbit? Do you know how long this river is? How can seven people come here?"
"If there are more people, that's great, but the more people, the easier it is to be discovered by the enemy. The next task is to walk along this river without being discovered by the enemy - let me go first!"
Dust broke free from Grahaide's hand, picked up a branch from the side of the road, and drew a line on the bank of the river.
"What is this?" asked Graheide.
"Sign. If there are many enemies, you cannot disguise yourself with animal hoof prints like us. If you want to hide your whereabouts, you can only carefully smooth the footprints on the ground. Therefore, we must leave marks along the river in advance. Wherever the marks are erased, the ground will be erased. We can reduce the scope of searches."
Graheide was a little surprised: "How did you think of this plan?
"If you suffer once in the world, you can think of it."
Dust threw away the branches and scooped a spoonful of soup back in the pot. He took a sip and said to the remaining soldiers: "Don't look at me, drink more hot soup now! When we arrive by the river, we can't just set fires at will. We have to take the state of hunting foxes - no, we need to be more careful, our opponent is human."
Seeing that the soldiers still didn't dare to drink, Dust took the initiative to scooped a bowl for each of them: "What are you afraid of? I'll burn myself, can you poison you? Just my stomach is made of iron? I don't know how many days this mission will last. If the dry food is finished, you can still eat this kind of thing!"
