Chapter 317: Arriving in the South


There was a bonfire in the tent, and the rain was really giving me a headache.

It hasn't stopped for a few days, and it feels like it's getting worse and worse, and I can't stop at all.

Only Rias lived with herself in the camp.

There was almost no setting from the previous few days.

Those wooden floors had long been flooded.

Their final function today was to serve as a tool for the team to cross the flooded area, and then they were allowed to sink.

Into the lake.

There were no furnishings in the room, and Rias's map was all wet.

Many routes could no longer be seen clearly.

She had not studied routes or anything in the past few days.

There is still no news from the Southern Military Headquarters, and who is the troop coming later?

People from the Magician Association and the Cathedral have also lost contact.

It feels like this team is like a lone army that has lost contact.

Rias had sent a letter to the military headquarters in the south as early as the first day she came out.

She had not received a response for so many days.

It was not clear whether the eagle who sent the letter was lost on the way.

It was cool on the grass, and the presence of a bonfire gradually dried out a small area around it.

There's still a little bit of moisture, but it's ready to go.

On one side of the bonfire is grilled lake fish, which is the most food that can be found in this area.

On the other side is a cloth that will be used to sleep on.

It needs to be grilled first and it is already soaked.

In the past few days, Most of my rest is in this kind of environment.

During the day, it rains all day, and at night, I take out the soaked things to dry them.

Wait until tomorrow if it rains.

Although a raincoat can block the rain for a while, it will still seep in if it is too long, so it will be the same no matter what you wear.

The only sound in the empty tent was the sound of heavy rain hitting the ceiling.

Rias sat next to her, flipping through the firewood in the fire with a fire stick.

"Cam, do you think you have received any news from the southern troops who came to support us this time?"

She said to herself, as if she was asking herself.

In fact, the military's messenger eagle is very fast.

Just as letters were sent to Hajar City every few days regarding my affairs at that time.

If there is no response for so many days, it is likely that there was an accident on the way.

After all, they are still animals.

It didn’t rain on the day we arrived, but after we arrived in the south, there were heavy rains every day, and we might not be able to fly midway.

Rias must have thought about this situation.

Alas, I heard her sigh.

Every time the troops went on an expedition, the environment was not very good.

They either went to underground fire pits or traveled far into the desert.

Now that they have arrived in the slightly richer southern border, they also encounter floods.

"And why the people from the cathedral and their team never arrived."

Rias continued.

I guess everyone has been thinking about the same problems these days.

The responders have not received any news, and reinforcements have not appeared for a long time.

It feels like the entire team is marching in isolation.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and there were no injuries in the team, otherwise morale would be affected.

The rain fell harder in my ears.

Rias handed herself a grilled fish.

There was nothing good about living in the wild, so just eat whatever you could catch.

Although it smells a bit fishy, ​​it's still pretty good.

The dried fish skin is also very fragrant.

It's the best food for people who have walked for a day.

The two of them ate and sat until the fire had dried the grass around them before laying out mats to sleep.

A night of silence.

It was still early the next day, and rain dripped through the ceiling onto Wang Chu's face.

Is it still this damn weather?

Wang Chu opened his eyes, and sure enough, it was still raining heavily outside the brightly illuminated tent.

"Get up quickly, Cam.

We have to speed up our journey today.

There are only two cities left.

Which one of us is closer to the edge of the southern border?"

Rias still got up so early, and every time she woke up she would It felt like she hadn't slept.

If it weren't for her disheveled hair, Wang Chu would really have thought she hadn't slept.

Rias used a knife to cut off a piece of fabric from the dried raincoat.

The raincoat was made of a special kind of leather.

It had a smooth appearance and was very thick, so it could protect against rain in a short period of time.

A little bit bigger than a palm was handed to him.

"Here, this is yours, put it on so you don't get too wet."

It turned out to be for my squirrel form.

Wang Chu took it and covered himself.

It was relatively wide for him, just enough to cover his tail.

Enough.

After finishing the work, Rias also put on her raincoat and took her out.

The soldiers all got up early, relying on Rias's usual training method for them.

Almost all of them got up early.

We are already packing up the tent.

Although it is still raining heavily, we just need to roll up the tent and put it on the accompanying carriage.

Anyway, I will take it out at night.

Lucia and Nicos also came over at this time, counted the number of people in each team, and continued on their way as long as they had enough.

The latter part of the journey was better than the previous one, and it was less muddy.

The most important thing was that there were no flood areas, otherwise Wang Chu would have waited to call the fishmen over.

I don’t know if they will appear if I blow the conch horn from here.

The team continued walking like this for three more days.

At dusk on the third day, Rias, who was walking at the front, heard the sound of the river.

"Listen, is there the sound of the river?"

Lucia and Nicos calmed down and listened carefully.

The rain was loud but they could vaguely hear the sound of the river flowing.

It's river water.

Wang Chu said, because he could already smell the running water.

It's just a little different from what you usually see.

"The dividing line between the southern border and other countries is the river.

This should be close to the border river."

Rias thought for a while and said.

As early as yesterday, the team passed the last small city, which was the city on the edge of the southern border that Rias mentioned before.

The map of the Asta Empire is generally a straight prism, but there is only a small area in the south.

It is a region that borders several small countries and is directly connected to the wilderness in the southern part of the world.

"Come, over here."

Rias turned her horse's head and ran in the direction where the sound could be heard, followed by several others.

The terrain where the team is located is all higher, because if you follow the road pointed by the city, if you want to build a city in a rainy place like the southern border, you will choose a high-lying place.

Wang Chu followed Rias' direction with his eyes, and the road in front of him slowly became empty.

Be careful, there is a cliff ahead.

He hurriedly tightened the reins, just enough to stop on the edge of the cliff only a few meters away.

"this" The two looked down, shocked and speechless.

Everything as far as the eye could see was swallowed up by the floods.

There were boats on the water, and there were people on them, constantly rowing closer to here
