Chapter 70 Forced Conscription into the Army
If it is outside, there may be a way to find data.
After this thought came out, it could not be suppressed. Tang An knew that he had to find the "golden finger" left by the engineer in the plot world as soon as possible. No matter what the so-called "golden finger" was, at least, it was this thing now, which gave Tang An the motivation to move forward.
Also, what serious accident happened on Earth II spacecraft?
Why did the engineer die tragically?
These are also huge questions.
This time the mission gave 10 days. Now that the past two days have passed, Tang An and Yang Baoguang dare not waste the remaining time and kept rushing.
Fortunately, there is a map guide, otherwise the two of them will probably get lost in every possible way.
The benefits of ‘players’ are also revealed at this moment.
Of course, we also encountered various dangers along the way. Wild beasts are second to the most dangerous ones, and the wild centaurs. These centaurs and half horse creatures are cruel and bloodthirsty, and they are extremely difficult to deal with. Fortunately, Tang An and Yang Baoguang had experienced a battle with ogres before, and it was much easier to deal with these centaurs.
Three days later, Tang An and Yang Baoguang were already very close to their destination.
At this moment, both of them looked dusty and the ammunition on Tang An had been used up, so they just used the butcher's broken bone axe and the long sword he picked up to defend themselves.
Naturally, I suffered a lot along the way. I used up all the food and water I had before, so I could only look for streams, pick fruits, and hunt some small animals to serve as food. However, Qingtian became much familiar with the two of them. She would cry at first, but then she would giggle. Of course, compared to Yang Baoguang, Qingtian preferred to stay with Tang An, and would often lie on Tang An's back and sleep all the way.
At this moment, the place where they were was already out of the wasteland. With green, the grass and trees became lush. Tang An and the others were in a better mood.
Because according to the current location and comparing the map, they can reach the place drawn by the old orcs, which is the territory of humans in at most half a day.
In fact, starting today, the two have met some travelers, either walking alone, or carrying packages and riding a carriage.
Unfortunately, Tang An and Yang Baoguang did not understand the language of humans in the plot world of No. 8, so even if you want to ask for directions or understand the customs and customs here, you can't do it.
At this time, Tang An saw the dust flying on the path ahead, and then he could vaguely hear the ground shaking. He was stunned and reacted randomly.
“There are cavalry.”
Obviously, if it was just one or two horses, it would be impossible to have such momentum, at least more than a dozen.
Sure enough, not long after, a team of cavalry appeared in front.
This is the first time Tang An has seen human cavalry in the plot world of No. 8, exquisite armor, strong horses, and a solemn and murderous aura.
The two immediately retreated to the side of the road to avoid being hit by the cavalry. However, the cavalry did not just pass by as Tang An thought and left directly, but slowed down and surrounded Tang An and Yang Baoguang.
This is obviously not a good thing.
If you have a language barrier right now, something may happen.
So both Tang An and Yang Baoguang were very nervous. Tang An hugged Xiao Qingtian and touched the hilt of the sword behind him with his other hand.
Yang Baoguang also grabbed the handle of the axe and was ready to fight.
The leading knight looked proud, as if he was looking at an ant. He glanced at Tang An and Yang Baoguang, said a few words to a knight beside him, and then shook the reins, and the horse in armor immediately shouted a long sound, leading the other knights away.
The knight who stayed behind said something to Tang An and Yang Baoguang. The two of them didn't understand at all this time, but they felt that they had not encountered anything good.
"It seems that the other party wants us to follow him." Tang An could see the general meaning. They couldn't resist at the moment. First, they were not familiar with this place, and second, they were not easy to deal with. Although the knights were not as powerful as ogres, the defense of that armor was definitely not weak. Tang An was still holding Xiao Qingtian, and there was really a conflict. Tang An and Yang Baoguang were absolutely timid.
"First follow us to see the situation." Tang An made a quick decision, Yang Baoguang nodded. The knight drove Tang An and Yang Baoguang for a while. Tang An saw a stone tower in front, at least ten meters high. He built a three-meter-high wall around the tower. It was obvious that it was a small base.
At this moment, Tang An saw many graves around him, many of which had just been landfilled. Obviously, many people died here, and within the tower stronghold, there were many people moving. When a guard looked at the cavalry, he immediately stepped forward to salute. The latter said a few words. The guard looked at Tang An and Yang Baoguang and nodded.
Then, the cavalry rode their horses away, while the guards let Tang An and Yang Baoguang enter the stronghold.
"What does this mean?" Yang Baoguang asked in a low voice before he could react. Tang An looked at the stronghold with many young and middle-aged men with civilian appearances, as well as the posture of the scene, and the many bulging graves outside. After a flash of mind, he said, "I can't tell you yet, just catch the strong men."
The situation is the same as what Tang An said.
They and many civilians around them were forced to be recruited. At this time, the problem of Tang An and Yang Baoguang's language barrier appeared. The two could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and the guards here did not doubt it, or they did not care at all, let alone pay attention to it.
In addition to men, there are women here. Qingtian was forced to be taken care of by a middle-aged peasant woman. Tang An and Yang Baoguang were given simple infantry armor and infantry swords because of their strong health, and practice chopping and chopping.
The ones with them were more than a dozen other civilians, all of whom were driven to the shelves.
There were originally more than twenty guards here, and in addition to that, there were also crossbows in hand. It was not suitable for escaping at this time, and there was no need to resist.
Tang An told Yang Baoguang that when it was dark, he would find an opportunity to take Qingtian away.
Yang Baoguang nodded and started training.
Tang An and Yang Baoguang were naturally worried about the weapons they had originally taken away by a guard captain. After all, they were obviously not ordinary civilians with so many weapons, but the guard captain had no suspicion, or the other party had other plans.
Soon, Tang An figured it out, because the guard captain later called Tang An and Yang Baoguang over, pointed to the flintlock rifle, the broken bone knife, and two axes, and asked a lot of questions.
Unfortunately, Tang An and Yang Baoguang couldn't understand anything.
The guard captain began to feel impatient and murderous intent in his eyes, and Tang An also felt something was wrong. Sure enough, several guards locked their hands with iron shackles, connected them with an iron chain, and then locked them up.
In the dungeon, Tang An and Yang Baoguang both looked anxious, not because they were worried about themselves, but because they were worried about Xiao Qingtian.
"The people here are too domineering. If they had known, they should have resisted when they had weapons in their hands." Yang Baoguang looked at the shackles locked on his wrist with anger.
Relatively speaking, Tang An next to him had to be much calmer, and of course Tang An was also anxious.
"Resistance, we might have been killed at that time. These human soldiers are not simple. If we really fight, they are numerous and powerful, so we have no chance of winning."
"What should we do now? We are locked up here and can't do anything. Have we been waiting here until the mission time runs out?" Yang Baoguang asked.
This is also a solution, but it will obviously suffer a great loss. Most of the things on Tang An and Yang Baoguang were searched, including Tang An's nautical compass. Such an important prop, Tang An could not leave it here.
