Captain Feng nodded and said, "When do we leave?"
Nong Renli replied, "Immediately, we'll leave right now. This is information about the caravan and the location of the incident. You can take a look along the way. Remember, you need to reach the prairie in the shortest time possible and find them. This person has made a great contribution to our Saber Spirit Nation, we can't let him die in the hands of the enemy. Every minute you're late, they'll be in more danger."
While speaking, Nong Renli gave a piece of paper and a map to Captain Feng. Captain Feng didn't say anything as he took the map and called for Zhao Hai and the others to head out. When they arrived outside, they immediately went to An Dequan's place. After receiving some provisions from An Dequan, they immediately set off.
This was Zhao Hai's first time doing a mission with the Saber Guards. He was curious, but he wasn't nervous at all. This was because Zhao Hai had experienced a lot of big scenes. A scene like this wouldn't make him nervous at all.
When the group came out of the base, the people outside had already delivered their horses. After everyone got on the horses, they began to head north. Although Captain Feng was sitting on the back of a horse, he still looked at the piece of paper that Nong Renli gave him. It contained information about the person and the caravan.
After reading it, Captain Feng passed the information to Liu Yuangong. After Liu Yuangong read it, he passed it to the others. Just like this, the information was passed on to everyone.
This time, there weren't many people who came with Captain Feng. Including Captain Feng, there were a total of 40 people. Among these 40 people, 20 were Soul Soldiers, 10 were Soul Beasts, 5 were Plant Masters including Zhao Hai, and 5 were Craftsmen.
Only half of the people were familiar with Zhao Hai. As for the other half, Zhao Hai didn't know them. They weren't friendly towards Zhao Hai, but they also didn't have much hostility towards him. On the contrary, they looked at Zhao Hai with a very complicated expression. There was a trace of hostility, but there was also a trace of admiration. In short, no one knew what they were thinking.
However, Zhao Hai didn't care about them. He knew that he didn't have any enmity with these Saber Guards. The reason why these people looked at him like this was because of his identity as a member of the Hu Clan. This was a class conflict, it wasn't a conflict between him and these people.
This kind of conflict was the most difficult to resolve. But at the same time, it was also the easiest to resolve. This was because they were in the army. Here, as long as Zhao Hai shows his strength, as long as Zhao Hai doesn't show the arrogance of a disciple of a Great Clan, as long as he can lower himself to communicate with these people, then there wouldn't be any problems.
Before long, Zhao Hai received the piece of paper. He glanced at it and saw everything clearly. The person they were going to save this time was called Sha Xing. He was 40 years old, fat, dark, not tall, and had an ordinary appearance. However, he was very eloquent. Naturally, these were all descriptions of Sha Xing's figure.
Then Sha Xing's caravan was introduced. His caravan was mainly made of tea, salt, porcelain, and other things. These things were in high demand in the prairie, so his business was very good.
The reason why Sha Xing was recognized as the hero of the Saber Spirit Nation was because he discovered that the Prairie was preparing to attack the Saber Spirit Nation. Moreover, he reported this to the Saber Spirit Nation, allowing the Saber Spirit Nation to prepare. At that time, the Wolf Spirit Nation's losses weren't small. However, because the Saber Spirit Nation was prepared, they didn't suffer any losses.
This time, Sha Xing's caravan was attacked in the depths of the prairie. Sha Xing and his caravan often took this route. Logically speaking, it should be very safe. However, they were attacked in a very safe place. Most of the people in the caravan were killed, and everything was taken away. However, Sha Xing and several important people in the caravan weren't found.
Because of this, the Saber Spirit Nation decided to send their most elite team to the depths of the prairie to rescue Sha Xing and his caravan. In the Saber Guard Army, it was hard to say which team was the strongest. However, Captain Feng was definitely the person who participated in the most battles. He was very experienced.
Because of this, they sent Captain Feng's team out. Although Zhao Hai had just joined the Saber Guard Army, he was still a guest of Captain Feng's team. According to the rules of the Saber Guard Army, Zhao Hai was now part of Captain Feng's team. Because of this, if Captain Feng wanted to carry out a mission, then he must follow. Only when Captain Feng didn't have a mission and another team asked him to do it would Zhao Hai. If Captain Feng and another team were to carry out a mission at the same time, then Zhao Hai would still need to follow Captain Feng's team.
After Zhao Hai gave the paper to the person beside him, he no longer paid attention to it. Instead, he rushed with all his might. They ran for more than three hours before they arrived at a relay station. When they arrived at the relay station, all of them dismounted from their horses and went to the relay station to eat some food and drink some water. After that, they set off again. It took them another three hours to reach the second relay station. At the second relay station, they dismounted from their horses and rested for a while. At the same time, the people in the relay station prepared to change their horses. Their horses couldn't take it if they kept running like this.
However, Zhao Hai didn't let the people in the relay station change their horses. He only said that he couldn't ride other horses. Although Captain Feng advised Zhao Hai that the horses couldn't take it, Zhao Hai still didn't agree. In the end, Captain Feng had no choice but to let the people in the relay station prepare a horse for Zhao Hai. This way, when Banzhu's stamina was insufficient, he could take turns.
However, what surprised Captain Feng was that Mottled Bamboo was still very spirited even after running for an entire day. He was even more spirited than the horses that Captain Feng and the others had switched horses with. This was something that Captain Feng didn't expect.
Captain Feng and the others naturally didn't know that Zhao Hai had already injected Nature's energy into Banzhu's body. Naturally, Banzhu wouldn't feel tired.
At night, Captain Feng and the others were still resting in the relay station. After resting for an entire night, they set out. During the day, they would rest every three hours and change horses every six hours. The average time spent on the road was around fifteen hours.
After traveling for five days, Zhao Hai and the others finally arrived at the fort at the back of the Saber Spirit Country, Yellow Wind City. Yellow Wind City was the northernmost military fort of the Saber Spirit Country. At the same time, it was also an important place for trading with the Wolf Spirit Country. Although the Saber Spirit Country and the Wolf Spirit Country had conflicts, trading was still necessary. The Wolf Spirit Country's herdsmen would sell some of their goods in Yellow Wind City.
When they arrived at Yellow Wind City, Zhao Hai was stunned by the situation inside. Yellow Wind City was like a large military camp combined with a large market. Yellow Wind City didn't allow people to casually enter, but outside the city, there was a large market. There were small houses and tents everywhere. This was the place used for trading.
Zhao Hai and the others directly entered Yellow Wind City and rested for a day. At the same time, they made their final preparations. This time, their supplies were very important. Each person was given three horses, enough rations to eat for a month, and two water bags filled with water. At the same time, they also brought along some simple tents. The group of forty people had nearly two hundred horses.
After resting for a day, Zhao Hai and the others finally left Yellow Wind City and directly entered the prairie. Upon entering the prairie, Zhao Hai couldn't help but let out a long breath. To be honest, he really liked the prairie's environment. The wind blew the grass, causing it to bend down and rise up. It looked very beautiful.
It wasn't that Zhao Hai hadn't seen a prairie before, but every time he came here, he would feel his heart lighten. It was the same as when he saw the sea.
Captain Feng wasn't in the mood to think about this. He carefully looked at the surrounding terrain before waving his hand and leading the group forward.
While moving forward, Captain Feng turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Crane Grass, from now on, monitor the surrounding situation. There might be an ambush."
Zhao Hai nodded, but he didn't say anything else. Then Captain Feng gave the order and the group flew forward. After about an hour, Zhao Hai suddenly said, "Captain, let's stop. We're being watched."
Captain Feng immediately stopped. He looked around and said in a deep voice, "Is there an ambush?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "The sky, don't look up. There are two eagles in the sky, they've been following us for an hour. They've been following us since we left Yellow Wind City."
When Captain Feng heard Zhao Hai, he immediately urged his horse to move forward. At the same time, he gave an order, "Goldie, see if there are two eagles in the sky. Are they watching us?" A person in the group nodded. Then he took out a hundred small mirrors from his chest and looked at the sky. Before long, he saw two eagles. After carefully looking at the eagles, Goldie opened his mouth and said, "Captain, we're being watched. It seems like it's the Wolf Spirit Country's Wolfhawk Cavalry."
When Captain Feng heard Goldie, his expression couldn't help but change, "Wolfhawk Cavalry? Are you sure? "
Goldie nodded and said, "There's an 80% chance. In the Wolf Spirit Country, although there are a lot of Beast Spirit Beasts that can tame eagles, not everyone can tame golden eagles. In the Wolf Spirit Country, they don't allow ordinary people to tame golden eagles. Only the Wolfhawk Cavalry are allowed to do so. And the two eagles that are watching us are golden eagles."
Captain Feng's expression turned ugly, but he didn't stop. He just didn't say anything. Then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Crane Grass, is there anyone around here?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "No, there's no one around here. At least, there's no one within ten li." Actually, in the prairie, one could see as far as ten li. However, Captain Feng still had Zhao Hai confirm. This was because in the prairie, the people of the Wolf Spirit Country could use camouflage to make themselves look like a pile of grass. Because of this, they couldn't just rely on their eyes, they had to rely on a Plant Master's reconnaissance.
This time, including Zhao Hai, there were a total of five Plant Masters who followed Captain Feng. However, the other four Plant Masters were ignored by Captain Feng. Although the Plant Masters were unconvinced, when they heard Zhao Hai, they couldn't help but look at Zhao Hai in surprise.
One must know that ordinary Plant Masters were able to communicate with plants. Their range of surveillance was around two li. However, Zhao Hai was able to reach ten li. This really surprised them.
They didn't suspect that Zhao Hai was lying. After all, they were now in the prairie. If they were to lie, then the result would be their complete annihilation. Thinking about it, Zhao Hai wouldn't do such a thing.
Zhao Hai didn't lie. In other words, what he said was true. He could really observe the situation within ten li. This was truly amazing. This was definitely much better than most Plant Masters.
Captain Feng was now moving forward while thinking about how to deal with this situation. He had already realized that their operation this time might be a trap set up by the Wolf Spirit Country. However, he still didn't know why the other party set up this trap. This trap wasn't very clever. At most, it would only attract a small team. Their team only had forty people. Even if all of them were to die here, it wouldn't be a big deal. For the Blade Spirit Country, the loss wouldn't be too big. Therefore, this trap would be meaningless.
To set up such a trap for forty people, and even the elites of the Wolf Spirit Country, the Wolf Eagle Cavalry, had been dispatched. This was absolutely abnormal. They couldn't be after these forty people, so what were they after?
Logically speaking, Captain Feng could lead everyone back to Yellow Wind City. However, as a member of the Blade Guard Army, he was very clear that they couldn't return to Yellow Wind City. If they were to return to Yellow Wind City, then they would never know what the Wolf Spirit Country wanted to do. Therefore, they could only move forward and determine what the Wolf Spirit Country wanted to do through their various reactions.
After making up his mind, Captain Feng didn't think too much about it. He ordered everyone to move forward at full speed. At the same time, he asked Zhao Hai to pay attention to the situation around them. Although everyone didn't know what Captain Feng was thinking, no one objected to Captain Feng's order. This was because they were very clear that they had to listen to Captain Feng's orders. Even if Captain Feng's orders might cost them their lives, they still had to carry it out. If they didn't carry out Captain Feng's orders, then they would be punished by the Blade Guard Army. In the end, unless they betrayed the Blade Spirit Country, they would only end up dead.
They wouldn't be implicated. Everyone didn't speak, but their hearts were heavy as they hurried forward. They weren't fools. If Captain Feng could think of something, then they could also think of it. However, at this time, no one would shrink back. In addition to being afraid of the military rules, they were also soldiers of the Blade Spirit Country. They had trained their soldiers for a thousand days and used them for one day. They were the best soldiers in the Blade Spirit Country. If they were to flee at this time, then they wouldn't be qualified to be soldiers.
