"The mud surface hasn't clumped yet. They should have just left."

These nomads didn't even try to cover up the ruts and traces on the ground. From a distance, you can see a piece of tall grass lying on the ground. The fallen tall grass presents a wide circular depression. The tall grass that was broken on the ground has begun to turn yellow. It won't take a month for the same grass to grow here again.

That is the camp of the clans.

Or rather, the former camp.

Ji Lin has seen such a circular plot of land. It is not too close, and there is a certain distance between them. The ruts extending on the ground clear a clear path for those who come later.

The ruts finally converge into a longer trace.

Extending deeper into the plain.

The clans finally gathered into a team and advanced into the depths of the wild plain.

But the number of marching troops is very large.

There are many small footprints on the ground that are not small enough for humans, and there are deep pits that are much smaller than humans. A large number of footprints trampled the tall grass into the ground and paved a green road.

He joined the border army camp, so naturally someone would join the clan camp, which he could guess at the beginning.

The strength of the lords will not become stronger because of the battle. On the contrary, the more intense the battle, the weaker they will become, and the upper limit of the loss of soldiers is almost inevitable.

The lord who can survive to the end must be the lord who can best preserve his combat effectiveness and manage resources well.

The best way to keep your own resources is to find a backer. After joining the camp in the battle, unless the camp is completely destroyed, you can always leave a way out to keep your own resources, even if there is a loss, there will not be too much loss.

At this time, most of the lords who can reach the same level as him are lords of races with strong individual qualities.

Ji Lin really missed horses. He tried to sit on the steam spider. He only stayed there for five minutes before he was forced to walk by this thing without any shock absorption. His brain was almost shaken.

After adjusting the power, he reduced the speed from 35km/h to 10km/h, which made him feel that he was sitting on a relatively stable vehicle.

Although the speed was less than one-tenth of the original, at least he had a vehicle to use.

This thing running at low power did not have the same terrifying breath as when it was running at full power, which could reduce the psychological pressure.

He could not carry infantry troops for this kind of long-distance reconnaissance. The infantry moved too slowly and was bloated. He was not sure if he could escape the pursuit with a hundred people. He used the hunting spider to replace the hounds to scout the surroundings, unfolding them into an arc to explore the terrain, while he sat on the steam spider and moved forward behind him.

These useful little creatures have been reduced from a full complement of 200 to the current 180. They are too fragile, but they are Ji Lin's only line-defending force now. A single attack by the monster infantry can easily take away a hunting spider.

Tactical advantages can only establish the situation before the battle. When dragged into a head-on battle, no matter how high the hunting spider's dodge is, casualties are inevitable.

His luck is really not good. He cleared six camps and got 3% of the territory's used building resources, but he didn't get a cultivation blueprint.

After the first round of supplies on the 2nd, he can directly transmit his results back to the territory, and then get some supplies from his own territory.

Soldiers who have died cannot be resurrected. They will return to the stasis zone and can only get reserves from the territory unless they have some special buildings.

The scout captain recorded with him. He was responsible for choosing the way forward, while the latter rode the steam spider.

Even if they reached an employment relationship, he was still wary of himself as an outsider.

This is inevitable. After all, this map will be the reliance of the subsequent 10,000-man expeditionary force. When they have not yet sent scouts to record the entire terrain, they rely on this simple hand-drawn terrain to determine their most basic strategic goals.

If there is a mistake, it may kill thousands of comrades.

Ji Lin explored the terrain along the circle, counting the location of each wooden nail, and the distance between the wooden nails was small.

The virtual image has been constructed in his mind bit by bit.

A camp with about 10,000 people should always leave something.

A brown sheepskin scroll caught his attention.

"Sincerely invite everyone to participate in our hunting. Those who can make great contributions will be rewarded with a thousand lambs."

The system gave him prompts through timely detection.

'You have triggered the task, the King's Court Dispute (not selected)'

'Temporarily join the camp with this scroll: Frost Forest Clan'

'Because you have joined the Border Army camp, you cannot join the Clan camp. ’

Ji Lin shook his head, put away the scroll, turned around and walked to the top of the valley.

He gave the scroll to the scout captain who was drawing a topographic map on the hillside.

The latter looked at the mark for a while and said.

“The mark of the Frost Forest Clan. This mark means that it is recognized by their clan leader.”

Please don’t worry about why these lords can talk to nomads and understand the nomads’ writing, and can also talk to the border troops and understand the words left by the border troops.

All interpretation rights belong to the system.

“Should we continue to move forward?”

Ji Lin asked.

“No, no, if we move forward, we may encounter the scout cavalry of the royal court.”

The scout captain shook his head, indicating that he had collected all the information he needed.

His sight fell on the gorge at the end of the long road, like a gate cut open by unparalleled power, the mountain range was divided into two, and through that passage, it went deeper into the wilderness.

And that was the end of the long road.

It was really a natural wonder.

"Thank you for borrowing this wonderful creation. I will go and give this map to the general."

The scout captain took Xu Shan away, and there were also some spare parts. The journey was long, and the steam spider was easy to break down after a long march. Repairs were not something the scout captain could do.

So he asked him to take Xu Shan with him.

The steam spider was damaged on the way, so Xu Shan helped him repair and maintain it.

The remaining eight scouts stayed in the temporary camp for recuperation. Ji Lin was responsible for providing them with meals, recuperation and rescue. The border army would pay Ji Lin extra money as a salary for taking care of these scouts.

Ji Lin sat at the highest point of the valley, counting the stars boredly, without the Changgeng star in the west now.

But he saw something else.

A dragon...falling from the sky.

It waved its red wings and sank sharply into the mud. The young dragon's body, which had not yet fully formed, showed some of the dragon's majesty, and its bright yellow eyes were full of curiosity about humans.

When the young red dragon landed, a figure jumped down from above.
