Chapter 39 The Citi Army Pursuing
On the panicked western plain, a Citigroup army of 50,000 was marching on the plain in a long formation like a dragon, with the marching team reaching three kilometers.
At the forefront of this marching army, more than a dozen officers were walking on their thrones on their horses, as if they were communicating with each other.
"General Sville, latest news."
A shout sounded behind these officers. When the shouts were heard, the officers looked back and saw several soldiers galloping on war horses, with different armbands on their arms. These soldiers were the communication soldiers of this army.
Several horse-riding communication soldiers stopped in front of the officers, and one of the communication soldiers quickly handed a piece of paper in his hand to the oldest officer among the officers. "General, the news came from urgently."
(There hasn't been a battle yet. Although there have been telegrams, the first car has just been invented for thirteen years. There are not so many cars yet, and the role of horses is still very important.)
"Stoke, how far are we from West Ancient Town now? Prepare the map."
After receiving the telegram from the communications soldier, General Sville immediately ordered an officer around him and turned over and dismounted. Seeing this, the other officers also dismounted one after another.
After the officer named Stoke dismounted, he immediately took out a map of the western part of Citiland and spread it on the ground. After careful observation, he pointed to a position on the map with his baton and said: "General, our current location is about five kilometers east of Paoma Town. Here, Paoma Town is here, Xigu Town is here, Xigu Town is here, Xigu Town is forty-three kilometers away from Paoma Town."
Upon hearing this, General Sville carefully observed the location on the map and said to the officers surrounding him: "The monster attacked a gold mine twenty kilometers west of the West Paoma Town last night, and killed all the staff in the gold mine, and was discovered this morning. About half an hour ago, he received a report in Xigu Town that someone saw a team of about 10,000 slaves heading further west, three kilometers west of Xigu Town."
Upon hearing this, an officer looked at the map and said, "We are about forty kilometers away from the slaves. If the direction of movement of the slaves does not change, we will probably be able to catch up with them tomorrow night."
Another officer said: "Since that monster did not kill those slaves, it means he went to save those slaves, so the monster is currently very likely to be with those slaves."
Another officer pointed at a place on the map with his baton and said, "There is another gold mine about seventy kilometers west of Xigu Town. Here, near this gold mine is the small town of Xiya, here, about five kilometers away from the gold mine."
"I think that since that monster has attacked a gold mine and rescued the slaves inside, his next target is very likely to be this gold mine. From this, it is inferred that the monster is more likely to be with those slaves."
"General Sville, there is a railway to the West Asian town of Paoma. We can reach the West Asian town in advance by railway, and we can reach this gold mine in another five miles. By railway, we can arrive tonight. Those slaves will at least reach this gold mine tomorrow night."
"Tor, immediately lead a cavalry battalion to Paoma Town and recruit all the trains passing Paoma Town. Let the soldiers speed up the marching and arrive at Paoma Town as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, General Sville nodded and immediately ordered.
"Yes!" The officers immediately replied loudly.

"Wang Ze, the lord fell asleep in the carriage."
On the other side, in the slave team heading west, the scholar suddenly ran to Wang Ze and said, "The scholar is the slave with beautiful eyes. Because he has studied and passed the scholar exam, everyone calls him that. Because he is more knowledgeable, everyone arranges him to wait for instructions by Wang Han.
"Well, let everyone else whisper and don't disturb the rest."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ze said to the scholar with a serious face. In his heart, Wang Han is the first. Everyone's safety must also rely on Wang Han, so Wang Han must have enough rest.
"No, I mean, except for the adults knowing the hiding place, we don't know the way."
The scholar shook his head and said.
"Uh!" Hearing this, Wang Ze choked for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Sir, before, we should continue to go west. Don't disturb you, let's take a good rest first."
"Okay." Hearing this, the scholar nodded and immediately ran back to the vicinity of the carriage where Wang Han was sleeping.
——————————————
"ah!"
At noon, as the sun reached the sky, Wang Han finally got up from the carriage with a long yawn.
"Sir, you're awake."
When he heard Wang Han's voice and saw Wang Han wake up, the scholar immediately came to Wang Han's carriage and said. Someone even ran over with a basin of water from another carriage. He kneaded the towel and handed it to Wang Han.
After taking the towel and washing his face, Wang Han looked up at the unfamiliar environment around him and asked the scholar: "How long have I slept? How long have we been away?"
"Sir, you have been sleeping in the evening last night. It has been eight hours since you were going west. We have been resting for about three hours at night. Now we have walked more than forty kilometers." Hearing this, the scholar replied immediately. Because everyone was sold directly to the mine, everyone has no idea about the bad situation around them, so they can only answer this way.
Upon hearing this, Wang Han looked up at the sun hanging in the sky and said, "It's already noon now, let everyone stop and rest for a while and prepare for something to eat."
"yes!"
Hearing this, the scholar immediately said, and then gave instructions to the people around him, and he continued to wait by the side, waiting for the orders.
Wang Han took out a map and studied it. The map was given to him by the old monk, which recorded in detail the cities, villages, villages, lakes, rivers, mines and other places in Citi Country. The old monk also taught Wang Han how to view the map. In addition, the hiding places of the slaves mentioned by Wang Han were also marked on it, which is the village where the slaves lived before, and Wang Han named the Free Village.
Now looking at the map in your hand, Wang Han was more sure that the old monk was not simple, because Paoma Town was a straight line distance of 600 kilometers from Liberty Village, and even further away from the slave-trafficking port, close to 1,500 kilometers. But that day, the old monk took them with them in only half an hour, and this was taken with thousands of slaves.
