Vol 2 Chapter 15: Survey (middle)


The group went down the gentle and walked into the big river beach. It was much better than before: the land was soft, the road was flat, and it was almost flush with the river.
"You just said that the Turifs hate this hot spring swamp, why?" Asistics is still in love with the previous problems.
The guide glanced at him and said: "This swamp is hot springs, and the water temperature is suitable all year round. Therefore, there are many mosquitoes and bites are very strong. The Turais hardly want to come here."
Assisi's eyes widened to the other side, and the diffuse water mist greatly obscured his sight, adding a bit of mystery to the swamp.
Daves said nothing, staring at the big river beach, the Tino River and the hot spring swamp on the other side, thinking about something.
After about half a mile, the river beach will be over. They had to walk down to get on the gentle because the mud was slippery and it was impossible to ride.
Going up the gentle slope, leaving the big river beach, then it is completely uphill. There are fewer and fewer farmlands, and trees are getting more and more dense, until you can't see a trace of human architecture.
At this time, Davers had already reached the open area on the hillside, but the guide refused to go forward: "Beyond the mountain ridge in front, it is the camp of the Lucalia, too dangerous!"
Davers said they said that they would let the guide agree to take them to a distant place.
Standing on the top of the hill, with a winding mountain wind, looking forward: the front is a higher hill, which should have been a verdant landscape, but a large number of trees have been cut, and a large area has been cleared. There are countless tents scattered on top of it. From a distance, the Lukarias, who are as small as ants, are filled with densely...
"Wow, there are a lot of people!" Yass, who was also a Persian army, couldn’t help but say a word.
Davers did not speak, carefully observed for a while, pointing to somewhere in front, and asked: "Where is that?"
The pale guide looked at it blankly and asked, "Where?"
"On the right side of the hill, it seems... from time to time there are Lukanian troops coming out from there..." Daves pulled the guide and pointed to the front again, said.
The guide opened his eyes and carefully confirmed it. He said, "Oh, it is a valley pass, and there is a mountain road that is accessible to the Lukandians."

How long is the mountain road?
Davers continued.
"I haven't walked. I heard that there are more than forty miles. It doesn't sound too far, but the mountain road is hard to go. I am afraid that it will take a day or two to get up. Oh... yes, the army before Turui. It was when I was ambushed in this mountain road and I was defeated..." The guide said with fear.
Daphus looked at the rolling hills behind the hills and meditated.
"Tuliyi should build a fortress here, and the Lucanias will not come in so easily," Ledes said.
"The original Turui had a camp here. It was only a few decades that there was no major event. Coupled with the simple conditions here, there were not many citizens who were willing to come here. I did not expect that the Lucanias would suddenly attack aggressively. The result..." the wizard said frustrated.
"If the Turais are here, they don't have anything to do with us." Daves said faintly: From this mountain, almost no development, you can see that the Turifs are not here at all. Heart, it is strange to be able to hold it. This is the common problem of Greece, a favorite maritime business nation. They are not interested in the mountains.
Under the urging of the guide, the group embarked on a journey back.
Seeing that Davis’s group of people looked relaxed, the family slave who was regarded as a confidant by Burkes heard that his master had said that these people were warriors who had fought in battle, so they could not help but ask:
Dave Do you think that we can beat these Lucanias?"
"That would have been known before it was played," Daves said faintly.
This time, they went down the right edge of the plains of the Sobari Plain. This is also a continuous stream of mountains. The cheerful streams are accompanied by them all the way to the east, eventually gathering into a river, and Dave all the way along the south bank of the river. When he saw the soldiers who fell down the trees on the other side, he remembered that this was the river that Filistius mentioned - the guide called it the Sobari River.
Seeing the sky was at dusk, Davers had dismissed the plan to continue to explore north. He dismounted the river and went to the river with the soldiers, and carried the wood back to the camp.
After dinner, after listening to the reports of Filipius and the officers of the team, I confirmed that the mercenaries were all working well and sent them away. Davers calmed down and used the branches to sketch the terrain of the daytime investigations. As long as he was satisfied, he watched for a long time and remembered the pattern and the scene firmly in his mind. Of course, this is just a sketch. Next, we need to send a detective to further improve, such as the approximate area of ​​the Sobali plain, the width and depth of the Krati River, the area of ​​the big river beach, and so on.
Intelligence work is the first priority in the war, and terrain detection is the top priority in intelligence work! More than half a year of battle has taught Daves a lot, and combined with the knowledge of previous life, he has always believed that the famous name also needs "nine-nine points of sweat plus a talent" to be trained, never sit high in the church, He can remotely control the generals who win the game, so he has been working hard and hard...
..............................
The next day, under the guidance of the guide, Davers and his party continued to explore north. Crossing the Sobari River, there are about ten miles between the forest and the bay. The land between them is flatter. It still belongs to a part of the Dibari Plain. The Turais did not grow wheat here, but planted olives. Trees and open vineyards.
Listen to the guide: The wines that are here are famous throughout Greece. This makes Dafoss think of the story of the wine bathing of the ancient Sebari luxury in the past, which is estimated to be the wine from here.
Only at this time, the vineyards alone are deserted and unattended.
"That is because the Lukarias from Amendola City are wandering around from time to time. The people are afraid and don't dare to come over..." the guide explained.
"Turiyi should send troops to protect their citizens!" Assisi said disdainfully.
"After the last failure of Turui, I am afraid that the strength is insufficient. It is their primary problem to keep the city of Turui," Davers said.
"The Daves leader is right!" The guide broke away from the embarrassment.

Don't you say that there are not many Lucanias in the city of Amendola? We can provide protection for the Turifs, of course, and pay a little protection fee,
said Assisi jokingly.
"Yasi, in the future, you will also be independent to lead the army to fight ~EbookFREE.me~ One thing you have to remember, don't distract your troops easily!" Daves said in a positive voice: "Our main task now is to help Turui defeated the army of Lucania, and the rest were temporarily ignored. As long as it was won, Amendora Lara was not a problem at all!"
Assisi and Ledes listened earnestly and nodded.
The group continued to move forward until a river blocked their way.
"This is the Saraceno River, the boundary river between Turui and Amendola," the guide said.
"That is to say that it is the territory of Amendola." Davis pointed his finger.
"Yes, you can encounter Lukania at any time, let's go back here." The guide is now in distress.
And Davers apparently came to the interest: "Can this river be involved?"
The guide has not yet answered, and Assisi, who has long been unable to hold back, has already drove into the river, and the river more than ten meters wide has arrived on the other side in an instant.
"This water depth will also reach the thigh." Assisi stood in front of the horse.
"Ledes, Felicius left a hundred soldiers in the logging department to guard against it. You call them and we will cross the river to see." Davers immediately gave the order.
"Yes!" Ledes ran back in excitement.
The guide can only wait helplessly at this time.
Ten minutes later, Ledes rushed with more than a hundred fully armed soldiers.
These soldiers, though panting, are equally excited. Seeing them, Davers is more courageous: "We cross the river!"
The guide did not understand why these people were so excited. Didn't you know that there were terrible Lucanias on the other side of the river? As a slave, he can't stop, only the fearful war is behind.
