Chapter 269: Pursuit

The group of more than a hundred people traveled lightly and did not bring much food or baggage.

Because each person is equipped with ten bottles of satiety potion, one bottle can provide a golden warrior with three days of consumption.

No need to even take a sip of water.

Because Yvonne prepared it herself, the cost was not too high and Simon could afford it.

Alchemist mages are more valuable than ordinary mages. Simon now has a legacy and is stepping up his efforts to train a group of them, but they have not yet been formed.

After entering the forest, they first followed the forest path to Silverforge Castle, which was a small and medium-sized castle covering an area of ​​more than 20 acres.

Simon stationed more than a thousand elite soldiers here, most of them wearing light iron armor, and a small number of them were archers.

"Greetings to the Earl!"

The honorary knights stationed in this castle all gathered together, waiting for instructions.

The officers who can lead an army alone outside are all loyal figures in the team, and there are many diehards among them.

From time to time, among the characters in the team column, some people become die-hard loyalists, but there are rules to follow, which are closely related to some of Simon's actions.

Of course, it also depends on whether the person has the attributes to be a loyal dog. Some people are naturally ambitious and will stop being loyal at most.

If something happens, loyalty will still decline.

But the loyalty of the die-hards will almost never fade, and they will offer their wives and daughters without blinking an eye, and they will even be willing to do so.

This kind of person allows them to stick to one side, and Simon is naturally relieved.

"Has the deer-headed monster attacked in the past few days?"

Simon asked with a faint smile and nod at the knights.

"Yesterday it attacked the convoy again, but we forced it back in time and only lost one kobold slave."

The garrison commander, Honorary Knight Juventus, responded respectfully.

"Have you figured out its behavior?" Simon asked again.

"At first it only appeared in the early morning and evening, but recently it has also been seen at noon, but only on cloudy days."

Youwen recalled it briefly and said respectfully.

"Let's do this. I will personally take part in the next silver mine escort operation."

Simon thought for a moment and said this.

"Yes!" Juventus immediately accepted the order.

After that, Simon joined the escort team with a team specially assembled to kill this monster.

For several days, everything was calm.

But they didn't let Simon and the others wait too long, as the deer-headed monster attacked again.

In the early morning of this day, everything was quiet on the forest path.

The experienced escort knight glanced around uneasily and reminded: "Your Majesty, something is not right. It may be coming."

At some point, a layer of gray-white mist spread in the forest, submerging the road.

"Proceed as usual." Simon said softly.

"Yes! Sir!

stop! Form a turtle shell array! "After the knight respectfully accepted the order, he went to the middle of the team and shouted loudly.

"Yes!" The soldiers heard this and responded one after another.

After a while, hundreds of people drove their horses to the center, and their cars were placed outside, forming a circle and watching the forest on both sides warily.

Simon and others are also getting ready to go.

But after waiting for a while, the fog dissipated a lot, and there was no movement.

"This thing's IQ is not low. He actually knows how to be scared." Simon thought to himself.

It is estimated that in this battle, the deer-headed monster knew that it could not be shaken, so it took the initiative to retreat.

"Chase! Use the tracking technique!"

Let it run away this time. I don’t know when it will hit me next time. Simon made a prompt decision and ordered.

"Yes!" Delly, the deputy of the mage group, responded and immediately started to raise his staff to cast spells.

A flash of white light was seen on the staff, and then it dispersed around like light smoke, showing traces of light and darkness of varying depths.

They immediately followed one of the paths with the deepest traces.

The escort team continued to deliver the silver ore to the smelting site.

Simon and others formed a formation and chased away quickly. This forest was not a tropical rainforest, but it was not that difficult to walk.

Just over half an hour later, the surroundings were shrouded in thick fog again.

Of the other two high mages in the team, one used the light spell, and the other used the purification spell to open the way.

In addition, there are seven or eight middle-level mages holding simple staffs, ready to supplement at any time.

On the outermost side are the hundred golden warriors wearing heavy armor and holding large shields, with a bronze knight interspersed not far away.

Judging from the traces of the tracking technique, they were getting closer to the deer-headed monster.

"roar!!!"

A threatening roar suddenly came from the front. It was extremely penetrating and could probably spread for more than ten miles in this mysterious forest.

"Chase! Do your best to eliminate evil!" Simon said solemnly. He is now a golden knight and is very confident in his own strength.

On the land of the low-demon world, no matter what kind of monster it is, it can't stand up to his current battle, otherwise the deer-headed monster wouldn't be able to escape all the way.

Next, everyone followed the traces for several days.

Fortunately, I prepared a satiety potion, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to keep up with the strength of this deer-headed monster.

After chasing to this point, everyone is exhausted and unable to pursue anymore.

But at this point, giving up would be like losing the battle. After some thought, Simon took out some energy potions and shared them with the soldiers.

After taking a small sip of this magical medicine, the drowsiness and fatigue will disappear, just like taking a drug, and you will be more energetic, and there will be no major side effects.

This thing is much more expensive than the satiety potion, probably ten times more.

After everyone took a short rest, they continued their pursuit.

A few days passed in a flash, and they had already gone deep into the Mysterious Forest.

However, there were forest tracking masters and many senior forest rangers in the team, so there was no worry of getting lost.

One day, Simon led the group to a cave, and the traces of the tracking technique extended into the cave.

"My Lord Earl, it seems that this monster lives in the cave." Mai Lan smiled, looking slightly relieved.

"Take a break, share these bottles of energy potions, and continue chasing!" Simon nodded and ordered.

He was a little tired after chasing until now, and he didn't expect this monster to be so fast.

Having come to this point, there is no reason to let it go. Simon just hopes that the value of this magical creature can be recovered.

After more than half an hour, the mages threw a few light balls into the cave, and more than a dozen golden warriors observed nearby.

"The cave is too narrow. Five mages, ten bronze knights and twenty golden warriors follow me in.

The rest of you build a camp outside and wait for us to come out." Simon ordered after exploring for a while.

"Yes!" Everyone obeyed.

Afterwards, Simon led people into the cave.

Because the mages lit up the light spell, the whole way was as bright as day.

This cave didn't look special. There were rugged stone walls on both sides, and occasionally a few animal corpses could be found.

But after going deeper, some relatively flat stone walls appeared large murals, which were painted in a relatively abstract way.

But they still vaguely realized that the murals depicted a scene of bloody sacrifice of some humanoid intelligent creatures.

In addition, some of the content was quite messy, and it was difficult to guess the meaning for a while.
