In the end, Jere and the four of them left.
Chapple and Radis were persuaded by the "high-precision monster distribution map" that Dane didn't show up until the end, and actually didn't exist at all. Irons was so frightened by Patience's horrifying arrow that he dared not speak anymore. There is only one Jieer left, he can't talk about it, and he can't fight it with his hands. What choice does he have if he doesn't retreat
Such a small episode passed quickly, the lunch break at noon was over, and the whole army embarked on the journey again.
Perhaps it was the acclimatization of climbing the mountain road all morning, maybe it was enough time for lunch break at noon, maybe the road in the afternoon was a little smoother than in the morning. Much faster than in the morning.
Although this path was carefully selected by Dane, he can only say that this path is the safest, but it is absolutely impossible to guarantee that there will be no problems. Therefore, the entire Eastern Expeditionary Army still sprinkled a lot of scouts on the road constantly heading southeast to be responsible for scouting the situation ahead and around.
Whether it is Dane, Morno, or the officers below, they all attach great importance to the investigation force. Morno directly dispatched his most powerful force, the White Wolf Cavalry, to roam around.
White wolf mounts are quite adaptable to roads. They are even more adaptable to such bad road conditions than humans, and their maneuverability in mountainous areas is quite satisfactory. The performance of the Smir Mercenary Corps in various reconnaissance missions is also very good. The team of Jere, the most famous in Schindler, is their Wilderness Hunter, which is indeed a first-class ambush, reconnaissance, and tracking. Experts in these areas.
But no one can compare to Dane's rangers.
The Nancy Royal Court was originally located in the forest of the mountains, and these rangers who were considered elites in the Nancy Royal Court were like ducks in water under such terrible and untravelable conditions. Although the topography of Broken Dragon Peak still has a certain gap compared with the depths of the central mountain range, they did not show any incompatibility, and quickly demonstrated their abilities.
With their efforts, some small monster settlements that might become a threat in the surrounding area, or some single monsters that might be close to the large army, have basically been eliminated in advance, and will definitely not affect the east. The overall marching speed of the levy.
In fact, this is the job of the scouts, whether it is the white wolf cavalry or the wilderness hunters of Smir, everyone is doing the same job, but in comparison, the rangers are undoubtedly the most outstanding. .
They didn't seem to be patrolling, more like hunting.
With the efforts of the patrol team with sufficient strength, the small threats were basically disintegrated, and some relatively large threats were perfectly avoided on the road set by Dane. The most frightening Dragon, also did not appear. In this way, the entire marching process, apart from the troubles caused by the ruggedness of the mountain road itself, is enough to be called a real safe passage. Up to now, even Jere, who has always doubted the safety of this road, has to believe that Dane may really have a deeper understanding of the Broken Dragon Peak than he does.
This made Jayer very fortunate-he didn't have to face the biggest shadow in his life, the threat of the terrifying adult green dragon.
At the same time, it also made him a little depressed - he found that his understanding of the place where he grew up was not as much as Dyan
That's it, the Eastern Expedition Army basically walked in the Duanlongfeng mountain area for almost four days without too much loss, and they had already gone through more than half of the total journey.
And at this time, the first challenge they had to face on Broken Dragon Peak came - the cluster of earth elements.
The Eastern Expeditionary Army couldn't avoid this earth element cluster that was the only way they had to pass along their forward route.
Earlier, when Dane was formulating the route, he had thought about how to bypass this cluster of earth elements, but after thinking about it, he found that these earth elements were a hurdle that he couldn't get around if he wanted to go this way no matter what. If you detour to the north, you may enter the territory of more powerful monsters; if you detour to the south, there is a cliff, and you cannot walk through it. The only option left to him was to annihilate this group of earth elements that might threaten them.
This group of earth elements, marked on the map module of Dynasty Heart, has more than one hundred in number, which is not so easy to deal with. But it is not without good news. If there is no accident, this earth element cluster should be the only problem that they need to solve along the way, which can be regarded as a bit of a threat.
Of course, the entire Eastern Expeditionary Army has more than 3,000 armored soldiers. If they swarmed up, they would be able to wipe out these earth elements easily.
However, this must take into account the issue of casualties. In the mountain environment, the earth element occupies a favorable location; and the individual combat strength of the earth element itself is not weak, at least much stronger than ordinary soldiers. If they didn't talk about strategy at all, and fought hard, maybe after destroying these earth elements, the Eastern Expeditionary Army would have to suffer a loss of one or two hundred people.
No one wanted to kill or injure so many people before they reached the Eastern Wasteland and fought against the orcs.
The Eastern Expeditionary Army had already stopped early, resting in place while waiting for specific information from the scouts ahead. Although Dane's map template can detect the specific terrain, it can also mark the specific range of activities of those earth elements, and there is also an approximate quantity mark. But these things, after all, are still not as good as seeing them with your own eyes.
After recuperating in place for about two to three hours, Jieer, who personally led the team to check the situation ahead, finally came back.
The Smir Mercenary Corps is really not sure about their combat effectiveness, but if they want to talk about reconnaissance, those wild hunters under Jayer are well-known throughout Schindler—of course, they are not as powerful as elite rangers. No comparison.
However, this reconnaissance operation was still carried out by Jieer, a stalker whose professional level had reached level nine. In this way, the news from the reconnaissance should be very trustworthy.
Dane, Moreno, and a group of senior officers under Moreno, as well as several influential people from Pure Sword and Smir, have all gathered together, listening to Jieer talking about the investigation he just made. The specific situation about those earth elements.

I'm not slow to update, not to mention those weekly and monthly magazines, there are also many people who update a chapter every day, I still update twice a day anyway. Of course, it’s nothing compared to those tentacle monsters. They crackle and slap so many words for an hour. My little finger can’t hit them, and I dare not write like that. The speed will definitely be slowed down.
But I am stable, but I am persistent, hehe.
