The Dark King - Chapter 383

Chapter 383

The sky had darknede by the time Dudian, Reid and others came to the Scarlett Valley . The dark clouds hovering in the sky had faded a lot in comparison to the previous few days .

Dudian looked at the steep canyon as he stood at the mouth of the gorge . It seemed like the canyon was a tall mountain that was cut into two by a sharp weapon . There was a cracked narrow gap that could be used to pass through . Some places were big enough for four-five people to pass by together while some places were so rugged small that two people couldn't pass by . The canyon was very rugged and steep . It would be very difficult to climb over .

"The barbarians should not be here by this time . Nevertheless we should still be careful and guard against an enemy from the top . " Reid reminded the others .

"Yes . " The team replied .

Dudian and Reid rode side by side while four people were in front of them . They were responsible for opening the road .

The place was silent . After few minutes the group came to stop at the other side of the canyon . There was a forest and faint sounds of gurgling water echoed from inside . According to the map the swamp was behind the forest . It was a habitat for fierce monsters .

"Master, it's late, we should camp and rest . " Reid said .

Dudian nodded as he looked through the edge of canyon to inside . Although the weather was dark but it didn't hinder his vision . He reached out and touched the uneven rock wall . It seems rough but he felt that it was fluffy sandstone after touching it . It would be very easily to fall down in case someone grabbed one of these while climbing up . Therefore climbing up was going to be very difficult and enemies would come through the canyon's gap .

The military didn't put much of an attention to this area because both sides of the canyon were protected by natural forest and swamp . It would be very hard for an army to pass through from either side .

However the barbarians weren't aware of the terrain and georgraphy of this place . So it was likely that scouts would come over for exploration!

Additionally in case the barbarians had worked together with forces within the wall and held onto the map . . . They would still come over the inquire about the situation . Not having a guard in here was enough for them to send scouts .

"Master, do you want to drink?" Reid handed out a water bag to Dudian .

Dudian slightly shook his head as he took out a metal tube from his backpack . It was the waterproof insulation cup that he had smelted: "I've brought water . "

"Master have really thought about details . " Reid took back his water bag: "We has rushed out all afternoon . Are you hungry? "

Dudian looked at the camp . The twenty people were sitting around several bonfires . All of the were close to the rocky wall and the fire was blocks and couldn't be seen from the other side of the canyon . They barbecued animals that he had never seen .

Dudian nodded as he came to sit by Reid .

"Master, please . " A blonde youth smiled and offered a smoke meat in a polite manner: "My name is Alan from the Mali family . Our family is known for its fruits . Master, if you would like to please it this one . If you want this later on please look for me and I can get them for you anytime and anywhere . "

Dudian smiled: "Thanks but I have brought dry food with me . If you have opporunity in the future please send a few packets for me . " Then Dudian took out dry food from his backpack . All of them were small biscuits . He had especially made those . These biscuits were much more better than the dry food carried by the hunters . Moreover they were smaller in size .

"It seems master have been preparing for a long war!" There was a trace of admiration on Reid's face .

Alan looked at the biscuits in Dudian's hands . He asked because of curiousity: "Master, is that bread? It looks hard . Where did you buy them?"

"I made it myself . " Dudian didn't continue to talk as he chewed the biscuit . The taste was unpleasant but after finishing one the hungry feeling in his stomach eased a lot .

He ate three and tied the bag .

He could see the every single burst of flame as he looked at the fire .

"The heat exuded by the fire covers up almost all of it . If I could freely control my eyes . . . " Dudian rubbed his eyes and looked once more . He couldn't help but sigh .

Alan retreated back when he saw Dudian wasn't interested in his food .

Reid ate barbacue while Jessie took out the map and checked once more . He looked at Dudian: "Master if they come in straight line after breaking through the golden wall it would take them about four hours to reach Red River . However they will be delayed as they can't directly push through after the collapse of the golden wall . They have to rest too . So at best they will send scouts for exploration . "

"I think they won't have big teams but I have heard about 'madmen' that these barbarians have . They can burst out amazing strength and we have to be careful of those red barbarians . "

Dudian nodded slightly as he looked at the fire .

"Both of you make sure to protect the master in case of a battle . The safety of the master will be your responsibility . The rest would be enough to kill the enemy! "

"Yes . " Jessie nodded .

Alan laughed: "Captain is it possible that the barbarians will go to second line of defense instead of coming here? "

"It's always good have be in guard . "

Night time . . .

About half an hour later a figure flew out from the canyon . Reid and others were surprised as they recognized the person's appearance . They stood up .

"Captain, a barbarian came!"

Reid immediately said: "Extinguish the fire! Ready to meet the enemy . Three squads to attack! Both of you stay here to protect the master!"

All twenty of them quickly acted in silence . It took seconds to extinguish the burning bondifre . They had already prepared sand in advance .

They grouped into three squads of six men and surrounded Dudian in a circle . Fourteen people were standing by both sides of the canyon as they held onto their breath and silently observed the canyon .
