Chapter 1036 Crisis (Part 1)
After Elsa was rescued by Enli, Allen, who was not giving up, sent a large number of cavalry to search for the escaped Elsa.
Because it was not clear where Enli took Elsa, the only search method that could be used was the most inefficient "casting net search".
This cavalry resting in this grove was one of the hundreds of cavalry sent by Allen.
This cavalry randomly chose a direction to the west and then rushed aimlessly.
They only knew that they were going to find a little girl with silver hair and purple eyes.
As for why they were going to find this little girl, they didn't know.
As soldiers, they carried out their tasks in a confused manner, which was their daily norm.
The superiors told them to move forward, they moved forward, they told them to retreat, they told them to rest, they told them to attack, and then they won or lost the battle in a confused manner.
They had long been accustomed to the feeling and life of not knowing the purpose of the mission and then carrying out the mission in a confused manner.
The four soldiers in charge of cooking dinner tonight kept mumbling.
I don’t know if it was because their mumbling was too loud that it disturbed a bald soldier sitting behind them.
“Cook well when you are cooking!” The bald soldier said unhappily to the four soldiers who were chatting while cooking dinner, “If I find your saliva falling into the pot, I will shove this whetstone into your buttocks.”
The bald soldier had been using the whetstone to sharpen his sword just now.
So after saying what he just said, he raised the huge whetstone in his left hand.
As soon as the bald soldier finished speaking, the four soldiers in charge of cooking dinner hurriedly apologized to the bald soldier:
“I’m sorry! Boss.”
“Boss, we won’t chat anymore.”
“Boss, dinner will be ready soon.”
…
The bald soldier was the commander of this cavalry search team.
Although he looks fierce, he is actually very friendly, so his subordinates are not afraid of him. They call him "Boss" in a very intimate way.
Although the four soldiers who were responsible for making dinner said that they would not chat anymore, they could not help but open the conversation after a short silence.
"Boss." One of the soldiers said to the bald boss, "How long will we search like this?"
After hearing this question, the bald boss was silent for a while.
Then, he sighed softly:
"Let's continue searching for a few more days. If there is still no result, we will go back."
"We have been searching for so many days and have returned - the superiors should not blame us."
"This is originally a very outrageous task."
"Let us aimlessly look for a girl with silver hair and purple eyes? I have been in the army for so many years, and this task is the most outrageous."
Hearing what the bald boss said, the soldiers around cheered.
Everyone has been miserable because of this strange task that doesn't even know what the purpose is.
The bald boss put the sharpened sword back into the sheath, then stood up and said loudly to the subordinates beside him:
"Is there anyone familiar with the local terrain and customs?"
"Is there any place suitable for collecting intelligence nearby?"
Although he has made up his mind to retreat after searching for a few more days, the bald man is a very serious person.
As long as it is not the last moment,
he will try his best to complete the task.
It is more efficient to find ways to obtain useful information instead of searching aimlessly - this truth is still understood by the bald boss.
When the bald boss said this, the subordinates around him looked at each other.
Finally, a thin young man raised his hand.
"Boss, I know where is a good place to gather intelligence nearby."
"Go ahead!"
"There is a salmon tavern ahead, which is a very famous and popular tavern in this area."
"Salmon Tavern?" The bald boss said in a deep voice, "What a strange name... You just said that this tavern is very popular, so there are quite a lot of people coming and going in this tavern?"
"That's right. But most of the guests who come to this salmon tavern are merchants passing by here."
"That's perfect! Merchants are walking around and are most likely to get useful information!"
After making up his mind secretly, the bald boss announced loudly to his subordinates:
"Have a good rest tonight!"
"Tomorrow morning, we will set off and go to the salmon tavern!"
"See if we can get useful information there!"
"Get it?!"
Subordinates: "Got it!!"
...
...
The next day-
Early morning.
The salmon tavern not only provides food and drinks, but also provides accommodation services.
Last night, Falk, Enli, Ilsa and others not only enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Salmon Tavern, but also enjoyed the accommodation service of the Salmon Tavern.
When the sun just emerged from the horizon the next day, Falk, Enli, Ilsa and others woke up and began to prepare to set off again.
Falk bought a lot of food, drinking water, horse fodder and other supplies at the Salmon Tavern.
When the caravan's men loaded the new supplies onto the carriage, the owner of the Salmon Tavern stood at the door of the tavern, holding Falk's hand and saying goodbye to him.
"Falk, take care! I wish you a safe journey!"
"Yeah." While the bearded man was holding his hand tightly, Falk also held the bearded man's hand tightly in return, "You too, take care! I wish your tavern business will get better and better!"
After saying goodbye to Falk, the bearded man let go of Falk's hand, then turned his gaze and looked at Ilsa standing beside Falk.
As for Enli, who was also standing beside Falk, the bearded man selectively ignored him.
"Miss Lotta."
The bearded man said to Ilsa in the most affectionate tone possible.
"Be safe on the road! If you have time, please come back again!"
"Yeah, okay." Ilsa also smiled and said to the bearded man, "If I have time, I will definitely come again."
The bearded man seemed to want to talk to Ilsa more.
But time did not allow him to do so.
After the caravan's staff told Falk and his team that they were ready to set off, Falk said "goodbye" to the bearded man again, and then led Enli and Ilsa back to the caravan that was ready to go.
As the wheels of the carriage turned, Falk and his team set off again, heading straight towards Pendragon.
And the bearded man could only stand at the door of the tavern, looking at Falk's caravan reluctantly... ah, no, it should be Falk's caravan with Ilsa that gradually disappeared on the western horizon.
