The sky gradually brightened. The snow was not thick near the mountains, and the trees in the forest could still be seen. If we walked from this side, the snow would be shallower.
Sean relied on his own ability to see this road, so he took more than 30 people and walked towards Xi Village as quickly as possible. As for more people, they were still busy clearing the main road.
After all, that is the main road between Xi Village and the small town, and it is impossible to just leave it alone.
And it was only after daybreak that Sean received the news that even the road leading to the outside world from Thelmian was blocked by snow.
Although Thelemian is located in a remote area, there are still merchants coming and going every day. Even in the sparsely populated season of winter, there are still people coming in every few days. This is mainly because Thelemian can sell rare animal leathers, which are very popular in big cities.
The same small town also needs to buy necessities...
Such as oil, salt and so on.
If the road was blocked, it would mean that the trade route would be cut off, so Sean ordered Dante to take his knights to the nearest city of Koga to ask for help. With his status as an imperial noble, he should be able to ask other lords to send people to help. As for the matter of Xi Village, he had to solve it himself.
Therefore, before dawn, Sean took the town guards and the invited archaeological team to Xi Village.
This is the quickest shortcut... I hope a miracle happens.
Sean looked at the sky and saw that it didn't snow today. It would be sunny for a long time to come. He hoped that some of the victims would survive.
Otherwise, this would be a huge blow to the Thelemian region!
"What do you feel, Baron? Do you want to take a rest?" Kerry, who was slowly approaching, suddenly asked.
I invited the archaeological team myself, mainly because they were quite capable and had strong wilderness survival skills. Of course, more importantly, this was also Dante's initiative...
After all, he was a local lord and nobleman. The knights around him went to the big city to seek help, and the bachelor was in charge of clearing the roads. He always had to have a few strong guards around him, so he asked the archaeological team for help.
Being able to help local nobles is a good reputation for mercenaries, which is very helpful for accepting missions in the future. Seeing that the weather was fine, he gladly accepted it.
"It's okay with me. Let's keep going. We should at least reach Xi Village before noon."
It's a little later than expected, but if we hurry up we should be able to catch up...
Thanks to his regular running these days, Sean felt that his physical fitness had improved a lot.
If I could express it numerically, it would at least increase by a few hundred points.
Since Sean currently cannot see his own health and magic points, it is difficult for him to evaluate his own abilities. He can only make a rough estimate each time.
"Lord Baron Weigel is very dedicated to the citizens of Telemian," said Kerry.
"Isn't this normal? They are all my people."
According to the laws of this country, the residents of the territory are the subjects of the local lord, and even if other nobles want to punish them, they have to give the local lord some face.
"Well, thank you for your concern, Lord Weigel." Kerry nodded.
Although local leaders should not put themselves in danger, this is a small place after all and there are not so many people. Moreover, if the leader does it himself, it can inspire the motivation and enthusiasm of his subordinates. In history, in many battles and rescue operations, the local lords were the first to stand in front of the team. This way, they could gain the favor of the local people and consolidate their power.
Therefore, when Kerry saw so many people gathered on the street, he understood the intention of the lord in front of him.
Many stories said that the lords in remote areas had long become lazy due to the lack of competition, and almost spent their lives in mediocrity, but after seeing the Baron Weigel in front of him, he felt that those stories could not be fully believed.
"Captain Kerry." Sean suddenly called out to him.
"What are your orders, Lord Baron?"
Even though they were not residents of Thelmian, they were still nobles, and Keri spoke with due respect.
"You know something about the wild environment. I hope you can bring your team to help me take care of my people and don't let them fall behind! We are going to rescue people, and I don't want to be in any danger again." Sean said.
“At your service!”
Everyone was on their way quickly, so Kerry didn't hesitate and was busy giving orders to his men.
"Manus, go to the back of the team and make sure no one falls behind... Guda and Gwyn, you guys move quickly and go to the front to explore the way... As for Illya, you go..." Kerry was about to say something when he was caught by Sean next to him.
"She's been following me for a while, and I can see she has some skills. I wanted to ask her a few questions about avalanches."
Kerry looked at Sean in surprise. Everyone in the team knew that 'Illya' was a wizard. It was better to have all the appropriate professions when going out. Moreover, as a wizard, she had her own opinions on certain matters. Of course, she was the best person to ask questions about. But he didn't understand how the Baron knew all this.
"Okay then, I'll go to the middle of the team and call the others. Illya, you'll be responsible for protecting the Baron." Without thinking too much about it, Kerry said casually and walked towards the middle of the team.
"Okay, Captain." The voice sounded a little rough.
During the day, Lucille dressed like a tomboy, with her clothes bulging out, her voice resembling a pipe, and her face always looking gray. She was the type of person that no one would think too much of when seeing her.
Sean originally intended to have Lucille follow him.
Because compared to other people, he felt that this woman with whom he had a cooperative relationship was more trustworthy.
"What? Little Baron. Do you really want to be with me?" After seeing Chris walk away, Lucille changed back to her sweet voice and asked.
"I don't have time to talk to you about this right now... I feel more at ease with you by my side."
Sean kept looking in the direction of Xi Village and occasionally opened the map to see the situation.
After he finished speaking, the other party suddenly fell silent.
press?
Sean turned his head and glanced at Lucille. His face was expressionless, and he was still looking ahead. However, a "Joy!" sign appeared above his head.
ah!
What did I just say?
Just that sentence?
Hiss~ I didn't expect that. The shrine maiden who usually lives a carefree life actually has such a simple side. Just a sentence like that makes me happy.
"Little Baron, I feel something is wrong." Lucille said suddenly.
"No? What's wrong?"
"There's something wrong with this avalanche. I remember there wasn't so much snow on the mountain when we came back, and that place was very solid. How could it just collapse?"
Sean looked at the position of the other person's fingers.
The place where Xi Village is located can be seen, as well as the remains of trees washed down with the snow and the houses below.
