Chapter 107 Exploring new territory

The wind blows through the grassland, the warm sunshine shines on the earth, and the towering mountains appear in the sight of migrants.

The small river originating from the mountains winds through the fields, making the shimmering waves dazzling.

"After crossing this river, it's our Sar!"

This is the edge of the southwest province and the western boundary of Colinworth. This small river just forms a boundary river.

Is there our new home? Everyone looks at the rolling mountains in the distance, the dangerous peaks covered with snow, and the dense forests...

Thrall, a land of light and hope!

"Cross the river, we camped on the other side of the river!" Leon made a loud order and drove the copper-armored rhino to the river first.

The water splashed, and the clear river water just exceeded the rhino's knees. This big guy weighed thousands of pounds trampled on the waves in the river like a joy, causing many small fish in the river to jump up after being frightened.

Leon laughed and stretched out his big hand to slap it on the head. Then the rhino waded across the river beach and arrived on a grass on the other side.

Finally stepped onto his own territory! Leon breathed a sigh of relief. Although this was the first time he came to this place and was completely unfamiliar with the surrounding environment, he directly felt a sense of identity in his heart, and felt like he was back home!

He was not the only one who felt the same. When the teams of the Mad Hammer Tribe all crossed the river, many people couldn't help but cheer with joy.

After so many difficulties and obstacles, they once again have their own home!

The grassland opposite the river bank was not very big. Leon took out the map and compared it, and found that there was no display on it at all, but this was the only grassland area in Saarling.

Unfortunately, this "prairie" is not enough to grazle a flock of sheep.

The task is heavy and the way is long! Leon felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders again.

While starting to set up camp, Leon summoned all the important figures in the tribe for discussion.

"Everyone knows that Thrall belongs to us now, but we basically know nothing about the situation of this territory. This map only draws a rough outline and has no great value." Leonyang said with the map in his hand: "So I decided to lead people to explore the territory first, first find a suitable place for us to build castles or cities, distinguish where we can hunt and where we are dangerous areas, and finally draw an accurate territory map."

"Lei, how long will it take?" asked Elder Monstein: "I am more worried about our food. I'm afraid we can't last for a long time. I guess the Collinworth Corps won't allow our team to buy food through their territory."

This is a trouble. Now the Mad Hammer Tribe and the Colinworth Leader have completely turned against each other. They have conflicts and conflicts with the Grey District Garrison. The smooth road to the east is definitely not possible.

"It doesn't matter, there are always more ways than difficulties. The Nucang River is still south of us!" Leon smiled and said, "Our north is connected to the Iron Fort. At worst, we can go there and find a way!"

"This time I will take Rose and ten scouts with me. Yanchu and Aklan are both staying at the camp. Yanchu, you need to train the battle camp well. I will be back at most ten days and half a month."

"Elder, you can send people to contact some gray camel caravans. As long as we are willing to pay, there will always be people who are willing to buy food for us. Hulun Grassland is so big, can that Viscount Mele completely block his territory?"

"Rubin, take people to the nearby mountains to find out if there are any ore veins, but you must protect the soldiers and pay attention to safety!"

Leon told everyone one by one, and arranged everything after he left.

Thrall is a completely new territory. The Mad Hammer Tribe, who came to the first place, can be said to have started from scratch. I have no idea how many things to be completed and how many difficulties are waiting for them.

But no one is embarrassed and winces. On the contrary, everyone's heart is full of expectations for the future.

In the early morning, the mist that enveloped the mountains had not yet dissipated.

The vast forest, which was deserted, had just woken up from its deep sleep. The melodious and clear sound of early birds echoed in the forest, and the dewdrops of the grass leaves on the ground shone with glimmer.

A small team walked through the woods quickly and quickly arrived at the highest point of the mountain.

Leon stood on a bare rock and looked into the distance, the rising sun shining on him, as if he was wearing a layer of golden battle suit for him.

Beside him were Rose and the ten most elite Leopard warriors.

This time, considering the hardship of the mission, Leon did not bring too many people with him. He only chose the leopard scout who was familiar with the mountains and jungles and was agile and nimble.

Terrain exploration and map drawing are standard technical tasks. What Leon learned in the army back then was only the basics, but as long as he mastered the tricks, it would be difficult for him to just outline a simple map.

To determine the correct direction, he took out the blank sheepskin scroll prepared in advance, and the quill began to draw the outline of the surrounding terrain, which was just the first step.

Behind him was the vast Hulun Prairie, and ahead were mountains and forests that could not be seen at the end.

After the drawing was completed, Leon led the team to the southwest.

His plan was to go upstream along the north bank of the Nucang River, first find the western edge of the Sal Territory, and then turn to explore the entire territory to the northeast.

Unlike the Howling Forest, this primeval forest located in the northwest of the mainland seems to have never been involved. The dense jungle and rugged terrain have caused considerable trouble for the exploration team.

The tall and dense canopy blocks the sun, the dark and wet forest vines crisscross, and thick decaying leaves are piled up in the woodland. If you are not careful, you may step on the poisonous snakes and venomous insects hidden in the leaves.

Leon had to pull out the Lei Yan sword and chop off the vine branches blocking the road, which was quite difficult to open up a road in this forest. However, the members of the exploration team were all experienced veterans. Everyone cooperated tacitly and moved forward slowly.

At noon, the exploration team reached the bank of the Nucang River.

The roaring Nucang River is still surging. The melting ice and snow in the northwest mountains brings it an extremely abundant amount of water. Dead trees and broken branches float by on the slightly turbid river surface from time to time.

And on the other side of the river is the former home of the Crazy Hammer Tribe - Howling Forest!

Looking at the forest on the other side, everyone was feeling a little heavy. Qiangwei said softly: "We have left, and I don't know if there are any beast-born people still there."

"When we build the territory, we will build the cable bridge again and do our best to bring them all here." Leon said in a deep voice: "In the end, we will definitely fight back!"

Qiangwei nodded vigorously.

The team continued to move west along the river bank, crossing mountains and ridges. Leon stopped from time to time to draw a map, and the outline of the southwest area of ​​Saarling gradually took shape.

They camped on the mountain at night and set off again the next morning.

The westward it goes, the towering mountains gradually flatter downward, the forest becomes sparse, and it is replaced by low jungles.

On the fourth day, Leon and others saw the Everglades.

This extremely vast swamp area is shrouded in a faint white mist. Looking around, it is full of dense rivers like spider webs and lakes of all sizes. The Nucang River, which spans half of the continent, originates from it.

And this swamp is also the territory of the demon clan.

Among the four tribes on the mainland, the demon clan can be said to be the most mysterious.

The demon clan is divided into two major tribes: the demon clan and the demon clan. Among them, the demon clan does not have a unified country. It exists in the west and southwest of the continent in the form of a castle territory consortium, and has some friction with the elves.

The demons established an independent kingdom in the northwest of the continent. They did not like to intervene in the disputes in the continent, but no one dared to underestimate their strength.

The demon clan has always been arrogant and, except for some necessary trade, they do not like to deal with other races on the mainland.

What Leon knows shows that the demons often leave the swamp and enter the Thrall area, and even appear on the edge of the Collinworth Territory. There may not be any big disputes, but there are not a few small frictions.

It is precisely because of the existence and activities of these demons that no one is interested in this territory considered a wilderness. Earl Astin threw it to Leon with great intentions.

No one knows how many demons exist in the swamp.

According to the original map of Leon, this is the western border of Thalling.

However, after exploring all the way, Leon found that the area of ​​Thalling was actually much larger than that shown on the map.

Then, the team turned north along the edge of the swamp.

They are in new trouble.

As we walked along the Nucang River, the team did not encounter many ferocious monsters. One or two forest beasts that appeared by chance also became the on-the-board meal for the team members.

But the situation on the edge of the swamp is completely different. The jungle area here is a paradise where all kinds of monsters and wild beasts run rampant.

Black thorn porcupine, spotted demon tiger, jungle panther, swamp python... It seemed that the animals and monsters in the entire forest were all gathered together, and the exploration team had to slow down and move forward carefully.

Fortunately, although there are many monsters, the level of the level is not high. The most powerful monster encountered by the team is just the first level 2 demon tiger. After being killed by Leon, a fire-type magic core was dug out.

Despite some gains, after frequent distress, in order to ensure everyone's safety, Leon gave up the idea of ​​exploring the western front of the territory and turned to the northeast to avoid this dangerous area.
