Chapter 147 Crossing the River, Desperate Situation! (Second Update)

The referee's new round of pursuit, although looking in the wrong direction, still brought great trouble to Grete and the others.

Without him, there are many people.

Although the Lucerne deputy referee misjudged the opponent's strength, he was not stingy in manpower deployment. Twenty teams of 200 people, riding light and fast horses, cast a wide net.

Gretel and the others ran in the mountains for two days, sneaking to the edge of the mountain road several times, trying to find an opportunity to return to the main camp, but they saw the cavalry searching outside like a net.

Block the perimeter of the mountainous area and block every exit. Circle and circle, tightening inwards.

"No, I can't get out." The stalker slid down the grassy slope and got into the hole. "They are chasing us closer and closer... Get up quickly and get back inside!"

The soldiers stood up in confusion. Pick up a spear, pick up a sword, pick up a shield - or like Gretel, be picked up by followers. Shield Warrior York glanced anxiously outside the cave, and then cast expectant eyes on the captain:

"This won't work! We only have one day of dry food left. If we can't get out, we will be trapped and die here! We have to think of a way!"

"Method……"

Captain Barnes frowned even more tightly than he did. In just one day, his red face and beard became messy, and a series of blisters appeared at the corners of his mouth. He looked hesitantly at the soldiers around him, then at Gretel, and then at the wounded soldiers:

"There is a way, but it's too risky..."

"What can I do?" several voices asked at the same time. Captain Barnes frowned fiercely and relaxed decisively:

"Cross the river!"

They chose to cross the river in the middle of the night, when the moon was almost at its zenith. At this time, the high tide of the Dov River was almost over, and the low tide had not yet begun. It was unlikely that the fleet of the Lord of Radiance would move up the river. With the power of the rising tide counteracting the flow speed, they would not rush too far downstream.

It was late winter and the river was cold. Gretel took off his clothes and stuffed them into his bag, then cast a bubble to wrap them up. Then, he took a deep breath and activated the [cold-resistant and heat-resistant] magic ring given by Lin En——

Finally, he pounced forward and hugged a tree trunk.

Bernard grabbed the other end of the tree trunk with both hands and shouted:

"Hold tight!"

With a crash, people and trees were pushed into the water.

The river water is a little cool, just like the coolness you feel when swimming in the water on a summer afternoon. Gretel knew that this was the effect of magical protection. [Cold and Heat Resistance] could keep him comfortable in extremely cold glaciers and deserts under the scorching sun.

Almost immediately, a sound of gasps and teeth chattering sounded from behind, left and behind him.

How cold must others be without magical protection? Can they hold on? Can those second-level warriors, those warriors who have just been injured and whose superficial skin has only healed, be able to hold on?

Grete was secretly worried. There was a splashing sound around him, and Bernard pushed the tree trunk and rowed hard to the other side.

"Bernard, can you..."

Grete asked in a low voice. The barbarian roared in a low voice: "The warriors on the glacier are not afraid of the cold! Don't make a sound!"

Yes……

Don't make a sound.

Don't let the enemy find out.

Gretel hugged the tree trunk tightly and let Bernard lead him forward. There are sparkling waves ahead, and the full moon is reflected on the Dove River in the middle of the night, and is broken again and again by the paddlers.

In front of me and behind me, there were people paddling desperately without saying a word. Some movements were rapid, some were even in frequency, and some were getting slower and slower... Suddenly, a low, miserable voice rang quickly:

"Captain...I can't do it anymore..."

"Hold on! I'm here to save you!"

"I can't do it... I have leg cramps... Captain, tell Lucia not to wait for me..."

The sound gradually faded away and disappeared. In the darkness, Grete couldn't see the man's face, nor did he know who he was. After just a few days of getting along, he couldn't identify each soldier just by listening to their voices.

Blame me. Grete thought sadly. If I go further on the path of mage and have a higher level...

[Cold and Heat Resistant] can make people not afraid of the cold, [Floating Saucer] can create a horizontal saucer with a load of 100 pounds, [Touch of the Sea] can give people the ability to swim quickly, and [Activated Rope] can also make people swim Drag it back...

But I don’t know any of these! At that time, I only selected a few magic spells that seemed to help with medical treatment and improve direct combat effectiveness, and then I rushed into the hospital!

He lay on the tree trunk and pumped water hard to relieve Bernard's burden a little. The distance of a few hundred meters can be said to be short or long. As long as you are not afraid of the severe cold, the passing speed is not too slow. Not long after, Grete's feet trembled and he stepped onto the opposite river bank.

The savage turned back to help his comrades. Gretel dragged his backpack and held an oak staff - which had just been unfastened from the tree trunk - and ran desperately along the mountain path. He finally found a recessed mountain wall and lit a bonfire at random. After a while, the soldiers of the task force climbed up the river bank one after another. Their faces were green and their lips were white from the cold, and they gathered around to warm themselves by the fire.

"Fortunately, there is a mage in the team."

"Yes, otherwise we wouldn't be able to light a fire in such a cold weather."

"Let's warm ourselves up by the fire, and then walk quickly." Old York stamped his feet vigorously in the outer circle. The knight's physical fitness is a step higher than that of ordinary warriors. The fighting spirit flows through his body, which temporarily dispels the cold:

"It's too close to the river bank here. Be careful if the enemy sees the fire... If you run out for a few dozen miles, there will be no pursuers, and you'll be safe!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly spoke loudly. On the other side of the Dove River, on the top of the high cliff, there was a sound like thunder:

"On the other side! They ran to the other side!"

"Run!" Bernard jumped up first, picked up Gretel and left. Gretel turned around and shouted:

"Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"

A group of people hurriedly ran into the darkness. In the rush, Gretel turned his head and glanced, only to see a warrior standing high on the top of the mountain, throwing his shield with all his strength. Another man leaped up, stepped on his shield, and instantly crossed half of the river!

He is a master!

Such a powerful master!

Although he can't fly in the air, and he probably hasn't reached level ten yet, with this skill, he can already catch up with the knight who seriously injured Bernard!

Grete was horrified. With such masters chasing after them, the task force couldn't tell who would take care of whom or protect whom. They could only concentrate on running away. Whether they could escape or not only depended on their own lives.

Escape all the way, fight all the way. The next morning, when the morning light was fading, Gretel was finally blocked at the top of the mountain.

To the left and right, only Bernard the barbarian remained, and Captain Barnes had a broken arm.

In front of them, a small group of black knights formed an array and approached step by step. Two held shields, two held spears, and one held a heavy sword. On the helmets of the first two men, a row of golden stars shone brightly.

One is level eight and four are level five.

Others were shouting and running upwards, while others were struggling to cross the river on the other side...

"Little Grete, I'm sorry." Now that the matter was over, Captain Barnes looked at the river in the distance and smiled bitterly:

"If I had known this would happen, I should have let you go first when the river was blocked."

"How could you blow up the ship without me?" Gretel raised his head and smiled. He put down his backpack, placed the oak staff at his feet, and held a tube of pure oxygen again:

"Let's fight first! I don't believe we can't kill these few!"

I still have seven tubes of pure oxygen in my bag!

And ten tubes of potassium permanganate!

There are five opponents in total. If you burn one to death, you will be counted as one. Killing three will be enough to get the bonus. Killing four will earn you a profit!

The worst thing is, I will travel through time again!
