Chapter 85 Termination of contract?
Beside the gurgling stream, Li Wei took a bite of dry and hard marching rations and swallowed it with a mouthful of clear stream water.
Levi looked at the dry food in his hand and unconsciously recalled the tiger meat feast that night. Whether it was tiger bone truffle soup or charcoal-grilled tiger meat, Levi and the other two were thoroughly satisfied.
That meal was a top choice both in terms of ingredients and processing methods.
It's a pity that Li Wei and others have been on the road for the past three days. They have no time to collect good ingredients, and they don't have much energy to focus on cooking. Most of the time they just eat dry food to cope.
Harland next to him swallowed the dry food in his hand in two or three mouthfuls, and shouted to Yaqis:
"Yaqis, when can I have a good meal? The dry food these days has really disappointed me. "It's not as good as the tiger bone and truffle soup on the first night!"
Bellam next to him couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Aqis, don't listen to this guy Harland's nonsense. This trip was not for a spring outing. Let this bastard eat a good meal and then kick his nose and face. You just need to rest. You are in front. Leading the way is much more tiring than us."
In the past few days, when a few people are moving, Yaqis will go 50 to 100 meters in front of them. While leading the way, they will explore the situation ahead. Sometimes they have to mark the ground at any time when the line of sight is not good. It can be said that The job of a guide is not easy.
Fortunately, Yaqis has been in the Evernight Forest all year round and is extremely adaptable to the environment in the forest.
Although he is like a "vanguard" or "scout" at the front and needs to do a lot of extra things, the physical exertion is not much greater than that of the three people hanging behind him.
"Don't worry, black-faced uncle. The road I chose happened to pass through a village. That village is called Hewan Village, just downstream of this creek.
There are several hunter uncles in the village who have a good relationship with me. They are all from before. We met while we were hunting in the forest.
Then I will take you to the village to rest for a while and prepare a meal for you. Uncle Soth and I have the best relationship in that village. Let me tell you, their bacon It's the best with grilled fish!"
"Really? That's a deal. I've been eating dry food for the past few days, and there's almost a bird in my mouth!"
Yaqis then introduced the village's special delicacies to a few people. After some introductions, they included roasted chicken, braised snow rabbit, and mushroom soup. In the end, he made a fool of himself and said that as long as he had enough money, he could arrange anything.
Li Wei felt that the total of these things was only three to five gold coins. He had been eating dry food these days and needed a big meal to satisfy his internal organs. Naturally and generously, he said that he would be served delicious dishes when the time comes. Mr. Wei pays the bill!
After a few people had a simple breakfast, they continued to move forward along the creek.
Along the way, Li Wei had no intention of admiring the early spring scenery of the Evernight Forest. He was just immersed in thinking about matters related to the future attack on the grain road.
Since the newly expanded five counties have only been included in the kingdom's territory for more than 20 years, and the Evernight Forest is under the control of Warcraft, the map in Li Wei's hand is very crude, and many special terrains are not marked at all.
At this time, the role of local hunters like Yaqis comes into play. He is a living map who has been wandering in the Evernight Forest all year round.
In the past few days, Levi and his team, under the leadership of Yaqis, visited five relatively dangerous valleys and a large but extremely hidden cave.
Three of the five relatively dangerous valleys met Li Wei's needs very well, and that cave also made Li Wei very satisfied.
Livy had a reason for looking for valleys and caves.
That relatively steep valley is like a fuse.
If Li Wei and his army were accidentally attacked by the orcs' elite pursuers after harassing the orcs' food routes, he could use this dangerous terrain to block the pursuers.
As long as he passes through the valley and blocks the entrance of the valley, and then calmly escapes into the vast forest, it will be difficult for the orcs to catch him again.
This strategy may not be guaranteed to work every time, but it is still a very useful method, and if the enemy you are chasing is limited in strength, you may be able to counterattack. As for the hidden caves, Levi wanted to use them as storage and supply points.
He planned to transport some of the military supplies to the cave and store them in advance before the orcs pushed the front.
Otherwise, when the orc army advances to the Snow Dragon Fortress, he will not be able to cut off the orcs' food route, but he will be left without food.
If there are only a few people under his command, and there are only a few dozen people, they can barely survive by hunting, but if there are hundreds or even thousands of people who want to hunt and obtain food while staying hidden, that is a fool's errand.
Of course, according to Li Wei's own vision, some of his logistical supplies will still have to be snatched from the orcs, and the warehouse supplies he set up in advance will only serve as emergency supplements.
As for how to transport large quantities of military supplies to the crisis-ridden Evernight Forest, this matter depends on Fat Zi.
The current fat man is more than ten meters long. Although he is not a professional animal, he can carry four or five tons of grain at a time and fly at a safe altitude, which is barely enough to feed a thousand cavalry for a day.
If Pang Zi transports grain from the nearest military grain transfer station, he can make two trips a day. Although it is not efficient, there is no more reliable way.
After walking like this for almost two hours, Yaqis, who was exploring the road ahead and guiding us, suddenly turned back with a rare solemn expression on his face.
Seeing Yaqis's appearance, Levi also became nervous: "Yaqis, is there any special situation?"
In Levi's view, Yaqis said that there was a cannibal nearby with combat power comparable to the fifth level. When he encountered the Dark Demon Tiger, his expression was not that serious. After several encounters with high-level monsters, Yaqis calmly guided everyone to avoid them.
However, this time, I don't know what is happening ahead, but Yaqis, who has been hanging around in the Evernight Forest all year round, is so serious.
"Boss, I found several special marks in front of me. These marks are secret marks left by hunters in the Evernight Forest when they encounter completely irresistible dangers. They are specially used to remind other hunters." "
You mean nearby Might it be dangerous? For example, the Sunlight Warcraft or something?"
"Not sure. The secret notes marked are too hasty and don't have much useful information. But this is a safe zone in the Evernight Forest. Not to mention the Sunlight Warcraft, even the low-level Warcraft Not two."
"Shall we take a detour?" Harland asked from the side.
"Boss," Yaqis said with difficulty, "Boss, not far ahead is the Hebang Village I mentioned. I want to see it!" Finally, Yaqis gritted his teeth and expressed his thoughts.
"Why?"
"There are many people I know in Hewan Village, and I'm afraid they will be in danger. Boss, I know this is inappropriate, but I really want to go and have a look.
You are a good boss and a good nobleman. , I don’t want to drag you into the water, so let’s do this, even if I unilaterally breach the contract and end your employment early, I will return the commission you gave you, and I can go on my own.
From here, keep looking southwest. It's a safe zone. It only takes half a day for you to walk out of the Evernight Forest. I'm sorry, boss, but if there is a next time, I will definitely not break the contract!"
"Yaqis, you are not qualified to unilaterally terminate the contract with the nobles." Levi's faint voice sounded, and then he added:
"You promised to go to Hewan Village to arrange a big meal for us before. I'm a little hungry, let's hurry up."
