Chapter 471 There's something wrong with this map
"How's it going? Have you found Isaac?"
Gwen paced back and forth anxiously.
The battle did not take too much time. After all, the resistance forces had far more people than the enemy, and it was not a big problem to control Sleddingburg. After chopping off the heads of several nobles, the locals seemed less hostile to the resistance forces.
But Isaac is missing.
Gwen took a lot of effort to contact Isaac's men, who were members of the Ashes Alliance who had been stationed in Sleddingburg in advance.
But they only received orders from Isaac to open the city gates and cooperate, and no one saw him again after the battle began.
"Could it be that he went back to the camp?" Several members of the resistance army scratched their heads and said uncertainly.
"Impossible. There should be no one in the camp. I sent people to evacuate the camp before I set out here. They should be here soon."
As soon as Gwen finished speaking, Grisha ran in from outside and said to Gwen breathlessly:
"Sister G-Gwen, everyone in the camp is here!"
Several people hurriedly stopped what they were doing and walked towards the outer wall of the castle.
As soon as Gwen reached the city gate, he saw a long team slowly walking towards him from a distance.
A rider was talking at the city gate, and when he saw Gwen, he waved happily, "Boss Gwen, we're coming!"
Gwen recognized him, Red, a brave hunter and one of the first people to learn how to ride a horse. He had just been injured in the battle and had returned to the camp to recuperate.
"How's it going, Red? Did you have a smooth trip?"
"Not bad." Red smiled shyly. "We encountered a small group of winter wolves among us, but we had more people and weapons. They harassed us for a while and almost got surrounded by us, so they retreated."
Gwen nodded. These people set out from their camp in the forest the night before.
At that time, Gwen was determined to capture Sleddingburg, so he notified the camp in advance and asked them to set off overnight.
Gwen has fewer people on his side, while the main force is at the camp. Although the Winter Wolf Cavalry are hard to find opponents on the plains, the number of people cannot be too different.
If the entire resistance army is mobilized, the Winter Wolves will have to gather a large force to deal with them.
This is also the reason why the leader wolf gathered the winter wolves from three towns before planning to besiege the forest.
This time, the resistance forces encountered only a group of more than ten Winter Wolves. The Winter Wolves were not holding heavy machine guns, so they could not deal with hundreds of resistance forces.
As for them going back to report the news and attracting the large army, this is why Gwen notified them in advance and let the resistance army leave under the cover of night.
The large force brought by the Winter Wolves is expected to arrive soon, but the resistance has also arrived at Sleddingburg.
"Go in quickly. Don't worry about the winter wolves. If they want to attack the city, let them try!"
After Gwen finished speaking, the surrounding resistance fighters cheered. While no one was paying attention, Gwen quietly pulled Rick aside and asked in a low voice: "Rick, have you seen Isaac? Did you meet him on the road?"
Rick was surprised: "Hasn't he been with you all the time? Why, he went to the camp?"
Gwen frowned and shook her head, then sighed, "I haven't seen him since the battle began, and I don't know where he went."
"Isaac? I saw him." A voice suddenly sounded beside her. Gwen quickly turned around and lowered her head to look at the boy who was speaking.
"Grisha? Where did you see him?"
"On the city wall." Grisha pointed to the city wall not far from the gate. "I saw him climb over the wall and leave, followed by a woman."
"Climb over the city wall and leave?" Gwen thought of something and her voice became tense. "Tell me what happened. Is he being hunted?"
Isaac was injured in the previous battle. If he encounters a strong enemy again, it will be troublesome. "Well, I didn't see it clearly. The two left too quickly. It seems that they were fighting."
"What does that woman look like?"
"He has red hair, very red, like blood. He is not very tall, much shorter than you, and he seems to have a bandage wrapped around his waist."
"It's that woman!" Gwen immediately perked up. Isn't this the person she injured in Grizzly Town?
This was her first time fighting against a superhuman, and she won. She wanted to show off.
"That's no problem. That woman is very weak and is definitely no match for Mr. Isaac!"
Gwen patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"But why did Lord Isaac leave midway?"
Gwen paused and hesitated for a moment before speaking hesitantly: "Don't worry about it. Mr. Isaac must have his reasons for doing this."
"Nini, how do we divide our tasks this time?"
"Oona, you are responsible for finding the traces of the resistance army, Finel, you are responsible for collecting intelligence, and I will be responsible for drawing the map."
"Then who will be in charge of the battle?"
"Fight? Does that require a person? Just use your free hand to pull the trigger."
Nini swung her tail impatiently, then suddenly stopped and carefully poked her head out of the water.
“It should be this piece.”
She looked around. The water was very cold and some ice could be seen on the river bank. The trees on both sides had sprouted new buds and occasionally some small animals poked their heads out from the woods.
"Is this the North? It's so cold!"
The Banshees are tropical snakes, fish, and tropical people. The climate in Castel is also hot, and this is the first time for the group to come to the cold north.
There is no floating ice on the sea today, but it can still be seen occasionally in rivers. This is because the freezing point of sea water is lower than that of fresh water.
They swam all the way here from the sea. Although it was their first time in the North and they only had a rough map to rely on, the banshees did not get lost.
The water vein perception that is a natural talent of the banshees allows them to never lose their sense of direction in the water, which is why they were able to get here smoothly.
"Let's go to the camp first." Nini took out the map again and fiddled with it carefully.
"Well, can you find the location of this camp?"
The three banshees gathered together and studied the map.
They were the first group of Banshees to arrive and knew basically nothing about the North. The map they used was obtained from the Prince and, after many corrections by Nora, was not very accurate.
Therefore, they even need to find the resistance camp first. Moreover, they are banshees, so it is basically impossible for them to ask people. If they really go to the town, they will probably be beaten out and may even attract the attention of the church.
We must find the camp quickly. With so many resistance fighters, it shouldn't be hard to find it, right? (End of this chapter)
