It was almost night. The sky had completely darkened, but there was still a large patch of bright red in the western sky. Half of the sky was dark, and the other half was light red.
Angele woke up from his sleep. Angele was sitting in the carriage with his back leaning against the wall. His body was shaking along with the carriage. He could hear the sound of the horses galloping outside. It was noon, and the inside of the carriage was hot. Angele grabbed the waterskin and drank some water. The water was still warm. He opened the door and sat down by the driver's seat.
"Show me the baron's data," Angele said.
Anther's expression changed, and he nodded his head. He took a long wooden pole with a strip of white cloth hanging on it. Anther put the pole on the side of the carriage and shook it. It was a signal for the other carriages to slow down and stop.
"Really?" Angele was curious. The others were attracted by Mark's description.
The sunlight outside was blinding. Angele could feel the heat coming from it. Angele scrunched his eyebrows and drank some water from the waterskin.
'Karl Rio: Strength: 2-4, Agility: 3.4, Stamina: 3.9. Current status: Healthy. Strength and stamina increased after Special Activation. Agility decreased. '
Angele scrunched his eyebrows. 'Bandits?'
'Karl Rio: Strength: 2.2, Agility: 2.4, Stamina: 2.1. Current status: Injured. Strength and stamina increased after Special Activation. Agility decreased. '
Even on Earth, half a year was enough for him to travel across half of Asia. 'Is this place really that big?' He was very doubtful in his heart.
Outside the castle, in the empty yellow training ground.
He took a deep breath. He stopped talking. He just sighed.
"The streets there are so f * cking clean, and you can see everyone and buy everything. There are so many shops, and the boats are like flipped silver fishes, densely packed together. There are so many of them on the surface of the sea. That scene … tsk tsk … "Ma Ke sighed. "It's the most beautiful place I've ever seen in my life."
Angele was checking his equipment when the baron came down from a carriage behind. He was tidying up his clothes and walking toward Angele with a serious expression on his face. "What happened?" He walked to Angele and asked in a low voice.
"Is it possible to recover?"
"It's dangerous," Angele muttered.
"I smell blood!" Angele's expression turned serious. "An Te, tell the car behind to stop!"
And this was the path they wanted to take.
Seeing this, Ma Ke felt a little proud. He continued, "If we hurry to the port from here, we'll only need half a year to get there. It could be considered quite close. We need to cross the Anser Plain before we can reach the border. There are many bandits on this road, but we have the baron and young master Angele with us, so we don't have to worry too much, "Lucien said.
Amidst the noisy chirping of insects around. Angele and the baron's expressions turned serious. They all saw a bloodstain. An iron-clad wooden shield engraved with an owl and a giant axe broke into two and fell to the side of the grass. The black iron surface was covered in large patches of dark red blood foam.
"If you fight with all your might for twenty seconds, the wound won't split open. Estimated time for complete recovery: 15 days.] The A.I. Chip loyally intoned.
Angele's expression turned serious. "What's the cause of the deterioration?"
The baron stepped on a large stone and looked to the west with his remaining eye. That was the direction he sent the sentries to. The rest of the people had already packed their things. Three large carriages were waiting by the side of the road. There were only about 20 people left standing outside the carriages, waiting for the news.
'Recovery rate: 11%. Potions needed: Ante's Warning, Cyanidin, Phenylalanine Acid … 'Zero listed a lot of potions that could only be found on Earth. Angele knew that the baron's body would not be able to recover.
Angele nodded. "Are your eyes alright?"
"We'll be out of the forest in two days. The baron said that there's a small river in front of us. We can replenish our water there, "Ante said politely.
"It's caused by permanent damage to my internal organs," Angele said.
In a carriage with two rows of four horses at the very front. Angele and the baron sat side by side in the carriage. There was no one else in the carriage.
They were still surrounded by a boundless green forest. In this forest, this small convoy was like an ant, inconspicuous.
* * *
"Yeah. But there aren't many of them now, "a soldier beside Mark said. "I'm from the Andes Alliance. When I first came here, I encountered two or three groups of bandits on my way here. Almost half of my brothers died before I managed to escape." "That's right.
Angele was surprised. This data … was a far cry from the previous Baron's data.
The three carriages slowly came to a stop. The women and their family members in the team started talking in low voices.
Angele asked the captain of the soldiers about the route to the Andes Alliance. Cecilia followed Angele quietly. She signed the contract, so she would be Angele's woman forever. She couldn't go back to her home.
Angele nodded and sat on the driver's seat. The trees on both sides were moving backward. The carriage would shake from time to time when it ran over some small stones. Gusts of hot air blew his short brown hair back slightly. However, he could not feel any coldness.
A faint smell of blood wafted into their nostrils from the hot wind that blew against their faces.
Angele tightened his grip on the longbow and quiver, then checked the crossguard sword on his waist. Everything was ready.
"So long …" Angele scrunched his eyebrows. Suddenly, he sniffled.
Mark was an old soldier in his forties. He had a full beard and a yellowish complexion. One of his ears was missing. It was said that when he was fighting with Saladin's men, he was shot off by an arrow. "Yeah, I've been there once. It was an escort mission for Miss Maria. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had the chance to go there." Mark sighed. "The king of the Rudin Empire and the Saladin Empire are the most powerful, but the king of the Andes Alliance is the most powerful. There's also a parliament that's on the same level as the king. It's a weird feeling. But speaking of which, Marua Harbor was not a bad place. It's much better than ours. It's even better than Candia City! "Mark was still excited when he talked about the things that happened many years ago.
"I heard that the Andes Alliance is a different country from the Rudin Empire?" Angele asked casually.
"Yeah. The last time I went to Marua Harbor, it was about six or seven months ago. "The baron scrunched his eyebrows. "Don't worry. The money is not a problem. We'll pass by two cities on the way. If we can't find anything, we can hunt in the forest, "the baron said.
"Don't worry. Losing one eye won't make much of a difference." The baron scrunched his eyebrows.
Angele didn't say anything else. He just ordered in his mind. 'Check Karl Rio's condition.'
The three black horse carriages and the twenty soldiers guarding the surroundings continued to advance in the forest for five days straight.
The driver was a thin and weak man called Ante. He was one of the relatives who stayed behind, and he looked like a gentleman. He was wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt and long pants. He smiled politely as he saw Angele sitting on the chair.
"There might be something up ahead." Angele raised his head and looked ahead.
There was a fork in the road ahead. On the left side of the road, there were some red bloodstains. The bloodstains went all the way to the corner until they were hidden by the trees.
Apart from the first carriage, which only had people in it. The other two carriages were loaded with food, jerky, and water bags. Even though the carriages were pulled by two horses, it was still very slow. The women had to get off the carriages and walk for a while to let the horses rest.
"Everyone, get ready to leave. Saladin's men have already crossed the border. We'll be here in 15 minutes, "the baron yelled.
"Yea, where are we now?" Angele yawned.
He knew that the baron was in one of the carriages, doing some 'exercise' with one of the women that came with him. Angele was speechless when he thought about it. He stopped thinking about it. "Zero, how's my body condition?"
Angele grabbed his bow and crossguard sword. He jumped off the carriage. "Locke, Belize, go guard the two sides. The rest of you, get ready." Captain Mark also smelled the blood.
"Young Master Angele, you're awake?" he asked in a low voice.
"Father, it'll take us at least half a year to get to Marua Harbor. Is it really that long? "Angele was confused.
Angele had been resting in the carriages for the past few days. He was also heavily injured in the previous battle. He shouldn't do any strenuous activities. Fortunately, he had the help of the A.I. Chip. His injuries were quickly healed under reasonable living arrangements. On the fifth day, he was able to move around freely. As long as he didn't do any strenuous activities, he would be fine.
"Even if it's dangerous, we still have to go!" A deep voice interrupted. Everyone turned to the source of the voice. The baron was walking toward them with a gloomy face. A soldier was panting, following behind him.
The three carriages started moving slowly in the midst of the noise. They sped up along the main road.
However, the plan was based on the fact that the Saladin Empire would invade tonight.
