097 Deep in the Swamp

The slaves left.

Along with heavy snow, a long line was formed on the wasteland.

Halfway through noon, the team was divided into two pieces, one towards Maple Leaf Town, and the other towards the depths of the swamp on the other side. [bsp;   Although the previous strategy had been successful, the armament depot of Grand Duke Peter in Gothic City was successfully looted, causing the Duchy’s army to be delayed for a period of time. However, this period will not be too long after all, and it would be extremely impressive to delay for one month.

After all, the opponent of Maple Leaf Town is a country, not a city. It is not difficult to mobilize food and equipment, and the time is not too short. Therefore, Yang Dashuan must seize this most critical time - go to the swamp to conquer the swamp giants.

Before leaving, Yang Dashuan threw out all the piles of iron lumps in the space ring. During this period, the dwarves were busy again.

"I want to go with you!" Leren looked at Yang Dashuan and said word by word.

This is the opinion drawn by the three little girls. Old Yang is occasionally unreliable in doing things, and the girls are also the most sensible in Leren, so this time I plan to let Leren follow Yang Dashuan to avoid this guy doing anything unreliable.

After thinking about it, Yang Dashuan did not refuse.

The mountains are like the sea, the eternal wasteland.

After the final farewell, the two teams separated.

A huge group of beasts gradually appeared on the wilderness covered with grass. Although the number was not large, it was so shocking. Two figures sat on the leading giant beast, one tall and the other petite. A group of giants with six or seven blades were also among them, as if they were walking out of the mythological epic.

Except for the Swamp Giant, all the slaves returned to Maple Leaf Town.

If you want to conquer the swamp giants, it will not be of any effect, but will make the indigenous people in the swamp look down upon. According to Sheen's introduction, all the swamp giants are brave and fierce guys. If you want to conquer them, you must use your fists to knock off their front teeth.

"This area is a forbidden area for the natives of the wasteland!" Shien drove the Komodo monster to the front of the team and introduced the local situation to his master. "It's not just because of our swamp giants, but also because of the swamp here."

The swamps on the wasteland are not like other places, they are more or less quagmire, and if you see them, you can avoid them from afar.

But here is not the same.

Most of the swamps here have a layer of duckweed, and there is also a plant unique to the wasteland - cat tail grass. This makes it very difficult to identify the swamp. Many people never appear again after stepping on it. For this swamp, not only the slaves on the wasteland have suffered losses, but even the alliance has suffered a lot of losses.

The entire Gru land occupied four-fifths of the Principal of Edfran, and no country would allow such a large territory to be idle. In history, when the Principal of Edfran was once strong, it sent millions of troops to sweep the wasteland three times. However, they were all stranded in the swamp. Due to the slippery and mud on the ground, the convoy could not advance and the cavalry could not launch a normal attack... This caused a large number of wasteland natives to escape into the swamp. They also launched a counterattack against the human army with the help of geographical advantages.

The most tragic battle in history also happened in the swamp.

The army of the Principal of Edfran had completely controlled the entire land of Gru. Before that, in order to attack the swamp, the army specially captured a lonely swamp giant as a guide. At that time, the grand duke of the Principality thought that this was an opportunity to unify the entire land of Gru. A total of 500,000 troops were preparing to sweep the wasteland.

As a result, although the guide of the swamp giant led the human army to avoid the outer swamp, he led the army into the depths of the swamp. In the end, less than 30,000 people escaped... The failure of these three wars caused the Principality of Edfran to directly slide from the status of a first-class power to fall into the third-class principality.

The once huge territory was also divided.

This shows the horror of the swamp.

However, all this will not be a problem after Sheen. In the swamp, becoming a chieftain of a tribe not only requires strong force, but also the ability to identify the swamp. An excellent chief can make his tribe members walk on flat ground in the swamp. When Sheen led his tribesmen to escape from the swamp without losing a single tribe, this demonstrated Sheen's familiarity with the swamp.

"Let's go here!" Xien walked ahead and led Yang Dashuan through the swamp one by one. "Master, there is a swamp next to it. Yes, Master, don't be distracted. This is just the periphery, and the swamp is very easy to identify. Look, those duckweeds are always moving, because there is water below. There are many swamps like this here, and it is also very dangerous."

"Why?" Leren waved his hand and jumped curiously. "Why didn't I know it's a swamp?"

The naughty Lelen pressed the ground with her hands. The ground was a little hard and had a substantial touch. "No, how could such a hard soil be a swamp?"

"Madam, don't look wrong. Many swamps here look like this!" Shien smiled and jumped off the back of the Komodo giant beast, groped out, and took out a bag of Rosa's skin. He shook it, and the sound of liquid collisions came from it, and there was a lot of wine. He looked at Yang Dashuan and threw it into the swamp he had just pointed to.

With a bang, Rosa's animal skin bag splashed in small splashes.

Leren looked at the bag curiously. The duckweed and weeds on the grass quickly shaking. The bulging Rosa's skin bag quickly turned like a bladder of a wild beast that was breathed, gradually fading away.

Sheen rubbed his hands and pulled Rosa's skin bag back.

Leren covered his mouth in surprise, his face full of disbelief. Yang Dashuan also opened his mouth with an interesting look, "What is this?"

Sheen twisted his fingers and twisted a fish that was the size of an ordinary person from around the Rosa's skin bag. "This is a dragon-toothed fish, the most ferocious fish in this swamp. They have sharp teeth, so they have the title of a dragon-toothed fish. Don't underestimate them, they can even bite the rocks."

Sheen shook the Rosa skin bag in his hand.

Nearly hundreds of dragon-toothed fish were bitten on this bag, which was only the size of Sheen's palm. It was dense and dense. When people saw it, they really felt a little numb. Yang Dashuan also jumped down and twisted a dragon-toothed fish.

"I really can't tell it, this thing is quite energetic!"

Yang Dashuan looked at the dragon-toothed fish. The fish, which was only the size of his own palm, was twisted with its tail and kept jumping around. The strength was not as strong as it was. As soon as he relaxed a little, the fish immediately broke free from Yang Dashuan's hand and drilled into the swamp.

"Dragon-toothed fish like this most like to gather in swamp ponds. There are at least thousands of swamp ponds like this. Not to mention ordinary people, even us, even Komodo giant beasts, will be bitten into a skeleton rack in a very short time." Sheen sighed and shook the Rosa skin bag in his hand. The dragon-toothed fish biting on the bag escaped and crawled back into the swamp. "So you must be very careful in this kind of swamp. Once it falls, don't think about coming out alive. Even if your legs go in and are dragged up, there will be only bone racks left."

Leren covered her mouth in surprise and quickly climbed onto the back of the Komodo giant beast. After seeing this fish, she suddenly felt cold all over. "Rog, let's go. Don't stay here."

Yang Dashuan stared at the unsightly bitten Rosa animal skin bag and smiled. "It seems that I have found the treasure again! We can dig a moat around Maple Leaf Town, dig deeper, and get some of this dragon-toothed fish in it. At that time, someone dares to attack our territory and kick it down. There is no need to collect the corpse!"

Although Lelen is difficult to say about Yang Dashuan's idea, because in Lelen's heart, such a despicable method is really terrifying. However, he has won the approval of the swamp giants, especially Shian nodded wildly.

"Okay, let's go! Don't stay here, the depths of the swamp are our destination. You can catch these things when you come back, don't waste too much time!" Yang Dashuan clapped his hands and also turned over the back of the Komodo giant beast. "It seems that someone is here to get them off!"

"Someone is following?" Leren looked at the outskirts of the swamp in confusion, and the desolate scenery of the swamp came into his eyes. "I didn't see anyone else!"

Xien also looked back and saw that the wasteland was still the same wasteland, and there was no one else.

Everyone smiled and shook their heads helplessly. They thought it was just what Yang Dashuan said casually. The stagnant team advanced again and gradually disappeared into the swamp.

The swaying weeds finally stopped and gradually began to sway again.

The white-haired Govelad jumped off the horse, grabbed a handful of soil, twisted it, and looked deeper. Then he said affirmatively: "They walked here, not long ago, almost three hours ago. They seemed to have discovered us, hurry up, this is a swamp... Don't delay too long, otherwise we will not find them after losing their traces."

"Your Excellency, we have been behind them. At least three hours behind, why do you say they have found us?" a judge knight asked in a low voice.

With Govelad, there were only about thirty people coming, and they were just the lowest reserve knights, and the guys with thorn patterns embroidered on their clothes. They were not strong, but they were indeed the most loyal to the church, the judges, and especially the faith of the goddess.

Only these people will follow Govelad, a fanatic about reality.

"Look, the footprints here are very deep, which can prove that they have been here for a long time. The grass here has been fiddled, and I must have found some interesting guys here." A smile appeared on Govellard's face. "The fishy smell here is stronger than that in other places. Although the wind has dissipated a lot, my nose can still be distinguished."

"It should be fish in the wasteland!" Govelad smiled, twisted away the dust from his hands, and turned over the war horse. "This little time is not enough for them to develop a kind of fish, even the natives with swamps. I guess they should have noticed that we have arrived, so they left."

He clapped his hands and removed the dust from his hands. Govelad turned over and the war horse. "Okay, let's chase after him."

The knights nodded, tightened the reins of the horse, and chased after the traces of the giant beasts.

His eyes returned to Yang Dashuan.

The team stopped again, and there was an undercurrent in front of the Komodo giant beast. This undercurrent was not long and I don’t know where it came out, but it was wide enough to be more than ten yards wide. This was not an ordinary undercurrent, mixed with sand and soil, and it was an authentic swamp river.

"After passing through this swamp river, that is the real depth of the swamp. There are also many swamps, but most of them are gathered in one place, not as scattered as the outer side, but have a higher degree of concealment."

Yang Dashuan sat on the back of the Komodo beast and looked down. The swamp river was clear and he could see the clear riverbed all the time. However, it didn't look deep, and he only reached the position that was overwhelmed with his feet. "Isn't this river deep? Leren, let's walk over the river."

Old Yang jumped off the back of the giant beast, and was about to carry Leren down, but was stopped by Sheen. "Master, don't underestimate this swamp river. Although this is the only place in the entire swamp without dragon-toothed fish, nothing can be allowed to float up."

Yang Dashuan raised his eyebrows, "Then how did you come here?"

The river is more than ten yards wide. With the steps of a swamp giant, you have to walk at least seven or eight steps to reach the other side of the river. Even if you jump, you may not be able to jump over.

"Master, we have this!" Sheen smiled and patted his waist, with a patched bag there. "These things were handed down from generation to generation by the chief of the Swamp Giant Tribe, and only the chief is qualified to have this thing!"

Sheen shook the thing that looked like a skin, it was very big, and it was unimaginable. Leren looked at Sheen with his head tilted, not knowing what this guy wanted to do.

Sheen grinned, found a small hole in his skin, and blew it into his mouth. A swamp giant next to him kept introducing: "Master, almost every tribe's chief will have such a bag. As long as you have this thing, you can cross this swamp river. In the swamp, even the most powerful swamp giant cannot cross this river. This bag contains the bladder of the sub-dragon beast, which is very light. Blowing enough air can make our two companions float on it."

Yang Dashuan said 'oh' and looked at the leather bag that was gradually blown.

Shien threw the leather bag onto the river, and then drove the Komodo monster up, and then transported the monster over.

Yang Dashuan was a little disbelief and took out a wooden stick from the grass and threw it to the river. A few bubbles emerged from the swamp river, and the wooden stick gradually sank.

No wonder the Duchy army suffered a loss in this swamp. Even if a ship is built in such a swamp river, it may not be able to float on the surface of the river. No wonder the human army rarely reaches the depths of the swamp. It is estimated that it will completely fail here when it comes here!

"If we can't hold on in the future, we can run here!" Yang Dashuan murmured to himself as he looked at the swamp river.

"Rogge, you're not kidding. How could we not be able to defend our territory?" Leren immediately laughed.

Yang Dashuan shook his head and said nothing.

No one wants this situation to happen, but no one may. Perhaps this sentence is not a joke. At some point in the future, I will really flee here with my slaves.

While talking and laughing, Sheen had already used his airbag to cross the swamp river with all the swamp giants and Komodo beasts.

Xien took the skin for crossing the river, folded it up, and put it neatly around his waist. "Master, you will be able to see our swamp giant tribe. Not far away, walk here, and you will see the gathering place if you look like about ten kilometers."

Looking back, the Judgment Knights unit that had been hanging behind was getting closer and closer.

"Master!" Xien acted and took out the bag of crossing the river. "You are right. These guys are really here. What should we do? Should we turn back and clean up these guys?"

Yang Dashuan frowned. "Drag them, we can't handle these guys for the time being."

Leren also turned around and saw that it was the people in the courthouse, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. "When did they come with him?"

"Who knows, I guess we had already followed us when we first entered the swamp." Yang Dashuan waved his hand, "Sheen, lead the way. These guys don't have to pay attention to them. As long as we walk faster, we will definitely be able to get rid of these guys."

Before the confidence of absolute victory, Yang Dashuan would not be so stupid as to fight with that old man.

The wasteland is shrugging, the cold wind is cold.

Although it was no longer snowing in the deep swamp, the cold weather still made the judges' Knights froze.

The cotton cloth wrapped in the knees of the war horse was wet with water on the weeds, and soon another layer of ice was formed. The knights had to jump off the horse's back and carefully rub the frozen horse's legs with their hands. The alert knight straightened his waist and looked into the distance, then trotted all the way to Govelad's side.

Govelad's worn but still clean cloak was already covered with mud. He took out a piece of black bread from his bag and drank it with water. The slime-deficient mouth had frozen a crack, and it was covered with dazzling blood stains on the black bread in one mouthful.

For Govellard, who had been in the trial prison for decades, such days were already quite happy.

"How is it?" Govelad asked without raising his head.

"Your Excellency, they just stopped for about an hour. I guess they encountered some difficulties and walked over one by one." The young knights replied respectfully. "Walking forward will be deep in the swamp. Do we also have to chase after it?"
