Chapter 773: The Night On The Shore

"Let the soldiers of the same squad ride in one carriage. At least they can look after each other." Abel suggested.

"Okay." Devitt nodded and agreed.

The soldiers spread out and stopped in front of the stable that they liked to watch.

Every horse in the stable had beautiful, soft hair and strong tendons.

The fresh grass in the trough seemed to have been picked this morning, giving off a fresh smell of soil.

Claremont followed behind Devitt and walked through every stable. Looking at Devitt's focused expression, Claremont couldn't help but say, "Captain Devitt, do we need to pick for so long? We're just letting them pull us to the beach."

"All of the horses are different breeds, and they're all the best of the best," Devitt replied, "It's such a pity to be raised here to pull a carriage."

Claremont said with a laugh, "How do you know? What if they just want to stay here?"

"Sigh, I don't know what they're thinking. They just feel that they're overqualified for pulling the carriage only." Devitt shook his head and said.

With that, he walked into a stable and pulled out a white-furred horse with smooth muscle lines.

"Beautiful!" Claremont praised.

"Let's go, I have chosen mine." Devitt said, "The soldiers are still waiting for us."

"Don't you want to try riding this horse?" Claremont asked.

Devitt was stunned for a moment, then he turned his head to look at the horse he was holding. Then he replied, "Forget it. There isn't even a whip in this stable. I guess the owner doesn't want others to ride on his horse."

"Just give it try." Claremont walked to Devitt's side and said, "Didn't the shopkeeper say that these horses know the way? Let him take us back."

Devitt hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Stepping on the stirrup, he sat on the horse's back. The moment Devitt stepped on the stirrup, the white-furred horse shook its hooves. However, it didn't do anything else after that.

"You can come up too." Devitt stretched out his hand to Claremont and said.

Claremont grabbed Devitt's hand, jumped up, and sat behind Devitt.

After the two of them sat down, the white-furred horse immediately set off. Like a bolt of lightning, it rushed straight to the destination in front of the teahouse.

"Wow!" Claremont felt the cold wind blowing past his ear, and shouted excitedly, "It seems that this horse can really understand human language!"

"And it doesn't seem to have carried people before. Sitting on it, I'm about to vomit." Devitt said with a pale face.

He sat at the front and needed to endure more cold wind.

"Didn't you say that you like horses? Be careful that the horse will listen to you and throw you off." Claremont said with a smile.

The two of them walked for twenty minutes, but the horse only took three minutes.

When the handsome white horse appeared in front of the reconnaissance team with Devitt and Claremont, the soldiers burst into exclamations.

Abel, who was waiting for the two in front of the teahouse, also walked down from the horse with a surprised expression. He said to the dizzy two, "How did the two of you get on the horse? Several soldiers in the team tried to ride it, but they all fell down."

"The two of us are also quite miserable." Devitt staggered down from the horse and stroked his forehead, he said, "It seems that although this horse is kept in captivity, it still retains its natural wildness. We are not very suitable to ride it."

Claremont also nodded. Although he was indeed very happy at the beginning, after about a minute, his body also became uncomfortable.

"Are you okay?" Abel asked with concern.

"We're fine." Claremont shook his head and said, "Are the soldiers ready?"

"We're ready. We're just waiting for you." Abel sighed and said, "I'll put on the hood of the carriage and set off in a while. You guys can stand here and rest for a while."

"... Thank you." Devitt said while holding his stomach.

After Abel left, Claremont looked at Devitt and said with a sick face, "I feel a little nauseous. How about you?"

"Me too."

After Claremont and Devitt made some preparations, the soldiers got into the carriage and set off.

The horses that refused to carry people were unusually docile when they pulled the carriage.

It even made Devitt wonder if they could reach the beach today.

However, in fact, two hours after they sat in the carriage, the reconnaissance team heard the sound of the sea waves.

"We're almost at the beach." a soldier opened the curtains in the carriage and looked outside.

"Austin, how do you feel?" another soldier in the carriage asked Austin, who was sitting quietly in the corner, with concern.

"It's strange... I don't feel dizzy at all." Austin said with a smile.

"This horse is walking so slowly. How could Austin feel dizzy?" a soldier interrupted.

"How is it impossible?" the soldier who cared about Austin retorted, "I remember that he fainted when he touched the carriage or something."

"Maybe this carriage is different," Austin replied, "I didn't feel any tightness in my chest."

"Indeed," the surrounding soldiers said. "This is the most valuable carriage I've ever sat in."

The carriage stopped amid the soldiers' discussions.

"We're here." Devitt got out of the carriage and said to Abel and Claremont who were sitting in the carriage.

Abel also jumped out of the carriage. He cast his gaze toward the sea that was very close to him and said, "It's much closer than I imagined."

"I'll call the soldiers out of the carriage." Claremont said. Then, he shuttled back and forth in the carriage, telling the soldiers to get out of the carriage and gather.

"It's time to put the payment on the saddle." Abel reminded him.

"Okay." Devitt took out a few silver coins from his chest pocket and nodded.

The soldiers gathered in the open space beside the carriage. After Devitt put a silver coin on the saddle of each horse, all the horses that were leading the carriage turned around and left.

The soldiers watched as they left. When they saw the carriage being carried by the horses and suspended in the air, everyone burst into exclamations.

Cold sweat broke out on Austin's back. No wonder he didn't feel any dizziness while sitting in the carriage. It turned out that the carriage was floating in the air.

"I finally know why it's so fast." Claremont said, shaking his head in amazement.

Abel said to everyone after they recovered from their shock, "Tonight, we'll camp here for the night. Everyone, after receiving your tasks, quickly start working."

"Yes!" the soldiers replied.

The setting sun was slowly sinking into the sea.. There was still an hour before the sky turned dark.
