Chapter 8: Extraordinary Perception
Aaron Sotos once again felt the energy of that mysterious entity
Attacker
How to feel like having hyperthymesia
To be able to disengage from the battlefield is undoubtedly the best option
Aaron complained, suddenly starting to recite a paper he had come across during his university days, a popular science article he had only glanced at.
Aaron Sothos casually plucked a blade of grass from the roadside and held it in his mouth, exuding a sense of carefree nonchalance: "In fact... Colin and the others were not entirely wrong; wars are fought with hard power. The Davis family's weight in this matter is something they are certainly aware of, and each knight is quite experienced, at the very least knowing to deploy scouts widely. ... If the Davis family were to make any moves, such as a surprise attack, the likelihood of success would be very low." ... Colin and the others were not entirely wrong; wars are fought with hard power. The Davis family's weight in this matter is something they are certainly aware of, and each knight is quite experienced, at the very least knowing to deploy scouts widely. ... If the Davis family were to make any moves, such as a surprise attack, the likelihood of success would be very low.
What Aaron needs to do is quite simple: directly find a defensible and hard-to-attack location along the river to set up camp, while also establishing a river checkpoint
Amidst the endless murmurs, his memory trembled violently, as if a gap had been forcefully pried open.
What is going on
The torrent of memory not only persists, but also continues to move forward
A multitude of memories emerge!
Aaron took a deep breath, immediately turned around, found the eight-fingered man, and covered his mouth.
Do not make a sound, there is an enemy attack
If I am not mistaken, the dangers here are hardly any less than those on the battlefield
Sanchez quickly bowed his head
Beneath the hazy moonlight, it seems that a vague figure is crawling on the ground, slowly approaching
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, turned over, and began to think carefully.
He was already familiar with this scene, but what followed was somewhat different
He gazed at the mother river, a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth
At this time, a team of several dozen people arrived at a certain location along the mother river and began patrolling along the river.
A group of illiterates looked at each other in confusion, and finally, Green hesitantly said: "It seems to be called... Widow's Bay?"
Aaron took a deep breath: "If danger lies in dreams, returning would be to walk into a trap; if danger lies in reality..."
... ...
I spit, spit, spit
"Eidetic memory? Have I finally crossed a certain threshold and achieved something extraordinary in spirit?"
He seemed like a purely passive observer, as memories began to flow back, allowing him to see his younger self pretending to babble, and even returning to the time when he was 1 year old, half a year old, and just born
The night is tranquil
Is it... that the one in danger is the me in the dream? No, the me in the dream has also returned, that world can no longer harm me
Ahead, the mother river makes a significant bend, and this point marks the boundary between the Lower Green Forest and the Upper Green Forest
A hint of a smile appeared on Aaron's face
To be able to avoid conflict is naturally preferable
Aaron opened his eyes, and that chilling sensation instantly vanished
There is danger
In the tent
Bang
It was a realm of darkness, and then there was light
... ...
The unbearable pain nearly caused him to lose the ability to maintain consciousness; if he had a body, he would have likely rolled on the ground and screamed
Reconsider, perhaps there are still some bought-off individuals within the territory? However, as long as there is no external assistance, there should not be any major issues, at least the castle is safe
Over the years, Aaron's memories of his past life have actually become quite vague
Use it all to strengthen myself
In the next moment, a trace of coolness darted through consciousness
However, if the surprise attack is discovered, it will be of no use at all
The Davis family is upstream, and once they head downstream, their speed is astonishing
Although the main forces are on the battlefield, a contingent of around one hundred troops can easily bypass the battlefield for reconnaissance, reaching the territory of the Green Forest directly, and even launching a surprise attack on the castle
Beyond several piles of bonfires, Sanchez and others were sleeping soundly, and even the night watch had vanished.
This is incredible. I wonder if this ability can be brought back to reality. Perhaps when I wake up, my memories will become vague again. However, it doesn't matter... I can slowly learn in my dreams, so... at least this has finally given me a bit of an advantage
Very good, this is the place.
Aaron's gaze sharpened as he arrived at the edge of the camp, looking into the distance.
This time in the dream, I finally awakened the self within the dream, gaining the abilities of [Extraordinary Memory] and [Danger Perception]... Then, I sensed danger? It seemed to originate from reality...
Aaron looked at Eight Fingers and Sanchez: "How do you feel? Do you harbor any resentment towards me for taking you away from the battlefield and losing the opportunity to gain spoils?"
At this moment, it is as if a library has been added to my mind, with records of any information I have encountered
Outside the tent, amidst the sky, the moonlight is hazy
Aaron muttered to himself, and as he turned around a river bend, his eyes suddenly lit up
Because he had not taken off his outer garment during the march and battle, he went to sleep just like that, and at this moment, the actions were also very simple and swift
In this way, the family's shortcomings are compensated, and the Davis family can only fight desperately on the battlefield, right
Moreover, in the center of the wide river surface, there is an island constructed of sand and gravel, rising approximately four to five meters above the surrounding area
Aaron spat out the stem of grass in his mouth, suddenly feeling whether he was being too insidious
Is the ... ... me in the real world going to be in danger
Aaron observed the surrounding geography and couldn't help but feel quite satisfied: "We will set up a water card here to guard against upstream vessels... By the way, does this place have a name?"
The mother river flows majestically, winding its way down, nourishing the fertile lands of the upper green forest and the lower green forest
In a dream
Aaron's voice was cold: "Let us continue to wake the others and prepare for battle"
He gripped his cross sword tightly and stealthily crawled out of the tent
With a struggle, he propped himself up on his elbows, but could not make a sound. Then he opened his eyes and saw Aaron
Even if it is merely a false alarm, bearing the name of cowardice is of no consequence, for he has no intention of inheriting the family business
No... this is not the place
He speaks the truth; the spoils and such are matters for the nobles and knights. Their desire is quite simple: to survive
Pain
Aaron only felt that slight coolness suddenly become incredibly hot, as if boiling water had been poured into his brain
No, my lord, we are all very grateful to you
There is a problem
At this moment, he is already able to recite it word for word!
He issued a command
At that moment, his expression changed.
That is the memory of a past life
Therefore, the remaining options for the Davis family are limited. Considering the situation, the only viable choice is to move swiftly across the battlefield and launch a surprise attack on the vital points of the Sotos family. Since the forest cannot accommodate large-scale troop movements and would take a considerable amount of time, the most convenient method is water transport
In this case, if the Davis family takes action, with such a small force for a surprise attack, it would be impossible to succeed
Or rather, in this era with a culture and education reminiscent of the Middle Ages, are the nobles still simple, lacking their own darkness?
A chilling sensation, akin to a cold hand, gripped his heart tightly
