Porto Bello to Auch Land Route Survey

That was one long walk up the desolate coast of the Sea of Elephants through the region known as the Deserted Quay. It really is.



For anyone following this currently untamed route a large number of incendiary grenades and anti-armour weapons are highly desirable due to aggressive native activity. If you fought your way through them seeking to annihilate you will not win for they are very tough opponents, so do like we did and keep your momentum up by evading them with superior footwork; they are so slow you can run rings around them with ease. But stop to engage in a traditional defense and they will slowly surround you and that is fatal.



This is an old map of the region in the Orpesian language.



Now imagine a solo despatch on horseback through the area. I used to do that as a junior pioneer. While I am proud to be able to do high speed runs through such hazardous areas with ease, I am glad to have stopped doing so in the interests of risk management. We have, after all, the Leonardo Expreso today. In any case I did not want to disappear one day, Carmen, like the rest of your old friends.



May their souls rest in peace...
