151. Chapter 150. Crossing the River

When catching up with Trollope Knight and his party, Craftsman John had already driven the carriage across the vast hilly area.

Standing in front of the fleeing fighters was a river called Pasiyadi. Many fleeing fighters gathered by the river and lined up to cross the river in the shallow water area of ​​the river.

It was the rainy season at this time. Originally, the Pasiedi River was just a small river, but at this time, the river surface was nearly 100 meters wide, and the river water was a bit turbid.

Floating corpses can occasionally be seen floating down from the upper reaches of the river. There are nearly 20 shallow water areas suitable for crossing the river along the Pasiedi River. However, the fleeing expeditionary army officers and soldiers also realized that if they fled blindly without resisting, then everyone would be buried on the banks of the Pasiyadi River, so some river crossing areas spontaneously organized small groups of resistance forces.

He Boqiang and Hathaway chased all the way to the river, and found that Craftsman John and the extremely eye-catching flatbed car were crowded with other soldiers on a bank suitable for crossing the river. There are a lot of soldiers crossing the river here. No trace of the ghost was found.

Seeing that Hathaway came back in time before crossing the river, the Trollope knight sitting on the flatbed finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As far as he is concerned, his duty and mission this time is to protect these female students of the Bena Advanced Swordsman Academy.

In fact, according to the past practice, the military sent a team of constructed knights to accompany them, just going through the motions. After all, these trainees who came out of the academy came to the battlefield of the plane, just to feel the atmosphere of the war, not will directly participate in the battle.

Moreover, the strength of these graduates of the Swordsman Academy is second only to the junior Constructed Knights, and they have a strong combat effectiveness. If you pay attention, you will appoint a legion and a squad of constructed knights to accompany you.

In the recent period of time, the battle reports from the Moyunling Expeditionary Army camp are all going well.

Marquis Solomon Bowen reported every step of the battle to the military headquarters of the Bena Legion in great detail. For the first time, the Moyunling Expeditionary Army appointed young and talented young students from the Knight Academy in the legion to set up a war room. An extremely detailed battle plan has been formulated, and the entire battle plan can be executed almost without any mistakes. The battle situation in Moyun Ridge is progressing steadily every day.

Duke Newman also agreed to the Bena Swordsman Academy's application to the Moyunling battlefield because of the detailed data and optimistic forecast of the future battle situation in the report.

Unexpectedly, before this group of college students left the forest camp, an accident happened, and a magic caravan broke down.

The other knights of the constructed knight team followed the other two magic caravans and left ahead of schedule, leaving only the Trollope knight and a group of guards waiting to repair the third magic caravan in the forest camp. It was precisely at this time that the evil ghost army was on the front line The news of the successful defeat of the Expeditionary Army Heavy Cavalry Regiment reached the forest camp.

Not long after that, the forest farm camp was also attacked by evil spirits, and a large amount of supplies in the entire camp were burned, and the evil spirits began to intercept and kill the imperial army preparing to break through. Trollope Knight was attacked during this breakout process. Afterwards, the magic caravan finally drove into the hilly area of ​​the wilderness, but it did not expect to be intercepted by a group of evil spirits again. Thirteen female students of Bena Advanced Swordsman Academy died tragically under the giant ax of the evil spirits. And Xing's guard and a coachman were also killed by these evil spirits.

On the bank of the Pasiyadi River, John saw He Boqiang and Hathaway return safely, and he was so excited that they waved again and again.

But then he discovered that He Boqiang carried seven sharp-edged evil ghost heads, his face became inexplicably surprised, and he said carefully to He Boqiang:

"Knight Suldak, it's great that you and Miss Hathaway have returned safely!"

"Knight Trollope and I were asking other soldiers about you just now. Some people said that you led the evil spirits to the forest camp. Knight Trollope was worried that you would be under heavy siege... Now everything is going well. , thank you Statue of Liberty."

Craftsman John has no idea of ​​dying since he got a head of the evil ghost.

"If you don't come back, I don't even know how to cross the river..."

Hathaway walked to Beatrice's side. The round-faced female swordsman was still unconscious, but her complexion looked much better than before.

The river water in the river crossing area here is not too deep, but the center of the river is probably waist deep.

The frame of the catapult is not too high, and Beatrice is lying on it. Once the catapult reaches the middle of the river, Beatrice’s body will be completely submerged in the river. As a professional craftsman for repairing the catapult, John’s The idea was to get some wood to put up a bed on the flatbed and put Beatrice up there, but there wasn't even a tree on this river, and no suitable wood could be found.

The Trollope Knight's idea is to let He Boqiang ride the ancient Bolai horse and carry the unconscious Beatrice across the river. And I was crossing the river with the support of the craftsman John. The river surface was less than 100 meters, and I should be able to survive by gritting my teeth.

He Boqiang felt that it would not take too much time to send Beatrice and Trollope Knight to the opposite bank on horseback twice.

While discussing this matter, the fleeing soldiers who were waiting to cross the river had already walked into the waist-deep river. Judging by their appearance when they were wading through the water, the bottom of the river should be a sandy bottom that is easier to walk on, rather than just stepping on it. The muddy bottom that will sink deeply, this situation is much better than expected.

Everyone was considering crossing the river twice according to He Boqiang's plan. Hathaway stood up straight, took a deep breath, and said to He Boqiang:

"Knight Suldak, please leave this matter to me, Mr. John, please put Knight Trollope on his horse..."

After she finished speaking, she walked straight towards the deserters waiting to cross the river behind the flatbed truck, and said arrogantly to those soldiers:

"I need eight strong soldiers to carry my carriage across the river. The reward is one gold coin per person. You can pay in advance. Is there anyone willing to help?"

Before Hathaway's words fell, the group of deserters waiting by the river rushed to stand up and shouted loudly:

"I can……"

"I!"

"Please use me, I am strong enough..."

Hathaway scanned the crowd with critical eyes, then randomly selected eight fighters, and led them to the front of the flatbed truck. Without waiting for Hathaway's order, she stood up and lifted the flatbed truck, and resisted. on the shoulders.

Eight fighters shared a simple flatbed car, but in fact, the weight shared by each person was not much.

At this time, Knight Trollope was just being helped by the craftsman John onto the ancient horse, and the Knight Trollope on the horse immediately became different. The momentum and majesty came out from him, and all the eyes around him fell on him. On his body, they all gave way to the road, and he seemed to be completely integrated with Gu Bolaima, walking into the river first.

The eight warriors straightened their chests, walked into the river without hesitation, and walked to the opposite bank step by step.

Craftsman John followed closely beside Knight Trollope, just like a knight squire, carrying Paglio's spear, with his chest raised high, and a devil's head hanging on his buttocks, He stepped into the river with pride.

Hathaway glanced at He Boqiang, with a smug smile on the corner of her mouth, and followed the flatbed into the river.
