Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Moving Forward with a Mixed Team

The battle wasn’t far off; it was the one where they hunted the Man-eating Eagles.

Back then, he was also part of Meng Yi’s two-hundred Elite Troop. If it weren’t for Lame Man Uncle shouting a warning to take cover, he probably wouldn’t have made it.

So, upon meeting again, the Elite Troop Captain gave Lame Man Uncle a flask of liquor.

Lame Man Uncle was somewhat surprised because liquor was a rarity in the military, and he hadn’t touched it in three years.

Having received this treasure, Lame Man Uncle didn’t dawdle; he simply opened the spout of the wineskin and guzzled it down.

At the moment the strong liquor hit his throat, he felt a refreshing ease through his body and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Refreshing!"

With the Elite Troop Captain extending the olive branch of friendship with liquor, the two quickly formed a profound camaraderie.

Li Wenli and Bai Junjun, trailing behind them, occasionally caught a whiff of the enticing scent of alcohol and unconsciously licked their lips.

Ah...

Liquor, which had nearly become extinct in The Apocalypse, how they craved just a little taste.

However, it was destined not to happen here, to avoid drawing attention from the thousand Elite Troops, the two of them blended into the ranks, jointly pushing forward the cart carrying Bai Lingyu, Xiao Shan, and Bai Sasa.

Fool and One-eyed Uncle were helping with the cart.

As for Lame Man Uncle, being a Centurion, his every move was under the watchful eyes of everyone. Since Bai Junjun and the others planned to slip away halfway, to avoid suspicion, Lame Man Uncle was almost always at the front, and rarely came over.

The group set off at Hai Hour, marching day and night under the stars and moon.

Fortunately, the Eastern Land is mostly plains, and they were following a military road. Although not as easy as an asphalt highway, it was fairly smooth traveling.

At least, it was much easier than the rugged mountain roads of the Northern Lands.

Moreover, with Bai Junjun activating her Special Ability, the cart was practically rolling on its own, and they were hardly putting in any effort.

Initially, Bai Junjun was worried that Fool would cause trouble on the road, as his intelligence was like that of a three-year-old child, unable to bear hardship or strife in silence.

However, that wasn’t the case!

It seemed as if the past three years of war had sharpened Fool’s will. He was very familiar with marching at night and even with being deployed, as if it was ingrained into his bones.

He was both well-behaved and quiet throughout the journey.

Perhaps Uncle Ah Fei had taught him well.

However, it was this very fact that highlighted the cruelty of war; even Fool had learned to restrain himself for survival, which made it all the more desolate.

Bai Junjun glanced at the starless and moonless sky and sighed silently.

She wondered when the chaos would end, as she really wanted to experience what a peaceful life would be like.

...

It’s often said that before the soldiers move out, the supplies must go first, and it was the same here.

Food and weapons were sent to the front line first, yet this military road had checkpoints every three miles.

Every time they passed a checkpoint, the soldiers would inspect the supplies and weapons thoroughly before letting them through.

Because of this, the group would stop every three miles, wait for the guards to finish inspecting, and then move on. Thus, the night’s journey wasn’t too hard; in contrast, the daytime travel was more exhausting due to the blazing sun with no chance to rest.

As they advanced with the supplies and weapons, they also intersected with a large army.

When they did, all the carts carrying supplies and weapons stopped to make way.

Bai Junjun saw a column of cavalry rushing past, pulling an imposing Horse Carriage decorated with dragons, paintings, and jingling ornaments. Through the fluttering of the purple silk curtains, she could barely make out the figure of an adult male seated inside.

She couldn’t discern his features, but from his frame, it was clear he was a grown man.

As the grand Horse Carriage sped by, everyone was required to kneel on one knee as a sign of respect, and from their reactions, Bai Junjun guessed that it must have been the Third Prince, Yuwen Qing.
