Tribulation of Mysteries

Chapter 8:

The mighty Mother River drifted downwards, nourishing the fertile lands of the Upper Green Forest and Lower Green Forest.

At this moment, a team of dozens of people arrived at a certain part of the Mother River and began to patrol along the river.

Aaron Sotos casually plucked a blade of grass from the side of the road and held it in his mouth. With an unruly temperament, he said, "Actually … Colin and the rest are right about one thing. War is about strength. They know how to deal with the Davis family. Moreover, the knights are also quite experienced. If the Davis family makes any moves, such as a sneak attack, there's a high chance that they won't succeed."

"Therefore, the Davis family doesn't have many choices left. Putting myself in their shoes, they can only use the fastest speed to move through the battlefield and sneak attack the Sotos family's vital points. Since they can't move troops on a large scale in the forest, it would take a lot of time. Therefore, the most convenient way is to move by water!"

He looked at the Mother River and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The Davis family was upstream. Once they moved down the river, their speed would be very fast!

Although the main force was on the battlefield, a side division of about a hundred people could completely bypass the battlefield and patrol directly to the territory of the Lower Green Forest. They could even sneak attack the castle!

"However, if the sneak attack is discovered, it would be useless."

What Aaron wanted to do was very simple. He wanted to find a place on the river that was easy to defend and hard to attack and set up a river checkpoint!

In this way, if the Davis family made any moves, it would be impossible to take them down with the small number of troops they had!

Even if it was a false alarm and he had to bear the reputation of being a coward, it was nothing. He had no intention of inheriting the family business!

It would be better if they didn't have to fight.

"In this way, the family's shortcomings will be made up. The Davis family can only fight on the battlefield, right?"

"Let's think about it again. Maybe there are people in the territory who have been bribed? But as long as there's no external help, it shouldn't be a big problem. At least the castle will be fine … "

Aaron spat out the blade of grass in his mouth. He suddenly felt that he was too sinister.

Or perhaps, with the culture and education of this era that was similar to the Middle Ages, the nobles were still too naive and didn't have their own sinister side?

Aaron looked at Eight Fingers and Sanchez. "You two, how do you feel? Do you resent me for taking you away from the battlefield and losing the opportunity to obtain the spoils of war? "

"No, Master, we are very grateful to you!"

Sanchez hurriedly bowed.

What he said was the truth. Spoils of war were the business of the nobles and the knights. Their wish was very simple, and that was to survive!

Naturally, it would be best if they could leave the battlefield.

'If I'm not wrong, the danger here isn't any less than the battlefield …'

Aaron cursed silently. As he turned a corner, his eyes suddenly lit up.

In front of them, the Mother Stream made a big bend, and this was the boundary between the Lower Green Forest and the Upper Green Forest.

Not only that, but in the middle of the wide river, there was an island made of sand and stones, which was about four to five meters higher than the surrounding area.

"Very good, this is the place."

Aaron observed the surrounding geography and couldn't help but feel satisfied. "We'll set up a water checkpoint here to guard against upstream boats … Oh right, does this place have a name?"

The group of illiterates looked at each other. Finally, Green hesitated and said, "I think it's called... Widow's Bay?"

…

In the dream.

Aaron Sotos felt the energy of the mysterious unit again.

'Use all of it to strengthen myself.'

He gave a command in his mind.

In the next moment, a trace of coolness ran across his consciousness.

He was already familiar with this feeling, but what happened next was somewhat different.

Aaron only felt that the trace of coolness suddenly became extremely hot, as if boiling water was poured into his brain!

The incomparable pain almost made him lose the ability to maintain his consciousness. If he had a body, he would have rolled on the ground and screamed.

Amidst the endless pain, his memories suddenly shook, as if a crack had been brutally pried open.

A large number of memories emerged!

He was like a pure bystander, his memories began to flow back. He could see himself pretending to be a babbler when he was young, and even back to when he was one year old, half a year old, and when he was just born …

The torrent of memories did not stop there, it even went forward …

It was a stretch of darkness, and then there was light.

That was … the memory of his past life!

"Why does it feel like I have hyperthymesia..."

Aaron complained and suddenly began to recite a thesis. This was a popular science thesis he came across by chance when he was in university. He just glanced at it.

But at this time, he could already recite it word for word!

"Retentive memory? I... have finally crossed a threshold and achieved the extraordinariness of the mind? "

After so many years, Aaron's memories of his past life were actually very vague.

But at this time, it was as if there was an extra library in his mind, and all the information he read was recorded!

"This is amazing, I don't know if this ability can be brought back to reality. Maybe when I wake up, my memory will become fuzzy again, but it doesn't matter... I can slowly learn in my dreams, so... this finally gives me some benefits?"

A smile appeared on Aaron's face.

At this moment, his expression changed.

A creepy feeling, like a big cold hand, fiercely grasped his heart.

"There's danger!"

"No... not here!"

"Yes... the me in the real world will be in danger?"

...

The night was quiet.

In the tent.

Aaron opened his eyes, and the creepy feeling instantly disappeared.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that the one in danger is the me in the dream? No, the me in the dream is also back. That world can no longer hurt me. "

He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, got up, and thought carefully.

"This time, I finally awakened the me in the dream and obtained the abilities of [Extraordinary Memory] and [Danger Perception]... Then, I felt danger? It feels like it came from reality... "

Aaron took a deep breath. "If the danger is in the dream, I'll be walking into a trap if I return. If the danger is in reality..."

He gripped his cross sword tightly and sneaked out of the tent.

As he had not taken off his coat during the march and battle, he had slept directly. His actions were very simple and fast.

Outside the tent, the moonlight was hazy in the sky. Sanchez and the others were sleeping soundly.

"There's a problem!"

Aaron's eyes focused, and he came to the edge of the camp and looked not far away.

Under the hazy moonlight, there seemed to be a blurry figure crawling on the ground, slowly approaching!

"Attacker!"

Aaron took a deep breath, immediately turned around, found Eight Fingers, and covered his mouth.

Eight Fingers struggled, but he couldn't make a sound. Then, he opened his eyes and saw Aaron.

"Don't make a sound. There's an enemy attack."

Aaron's voice was cold. "Let's continue to wake up the others and prepare for battle!"
