Chapter 462 (1/2)
North of Ellington and south of Jinhu Town, the winter snow is melting and the sun is still slightly cold. In this weather, a force is moving south on the muddy road.
In the cold weather, they wore cold armor, but these soldiers did not complain. The atmosphere in the whole team was terrible.
Only one Ranger team is a little more lively.
”Oh, damn it! The mud got into my boots!”
The ranger of caspamiburg, Lord Lawrence's scout, Riley, a young and lively young man, complained and cursed: ”this damn ghost weather, why do we leave our warm home and run to search for what escaped farmers?”
”Stop talking nonsense,” Aaron, Riley's comrade in arms and also a black iron Ranger, stared at him, then nervously looked at the Silent Army next to him and whispered, ”don't you realize the real purpose of this time?”
”Real purpose? What purpose can it have?”
Rayleigh was very puzzled: ”didn't he say to hunt down the farmers who fled the territory without authorization?”
”When will you be able to use your brain? I don't understand how you awaken your talent!”
Another comrade in arms sighed, quietly pointed to the dull army next to him and said, ”don't you see these soldiers? They are private soldiers led by Lord Lawrence himself. Don't you find how elite they are? In this damn weather and road, they have marched in armor for a day, but no one speaks!”
”That's because they are all wood.”
”Even wooden people will complain unless their mouths are sewn!”
Aaron lowered his voice and said, ”I accidentally noticed them eating raw meat in the tent last night! Bloody Warcraft meat!”
Several friends nearby suddenly widened their eyes. Just about to speak, Aaron hurriedly made a silent gesture, and then his voice was lower: ”Lord Lawrence's soldiers and cavalry are a little wrong, but it's certain that they didn't come out to catch the escaping farmers. They're more like preparing for a war - haven't you seen that they've prepared food and grass for more than a month? And it's said that there are more materials behind them.”
”Damn it, he's preparing for a war? But who's the target? Since these soldiers are so powerful, why does he want us to fight?”
Aaron said calmly, ”maybe it's because he needs some sober scouts. Rangers are the best scouts. Those soldiers don't seem to have any response except to obey orders.”
Riley took a breath of air conditioning, couldn't help holding his arm and said, ”listen to you, I suddenly feel a little scared. Can we stand by a group of monsters?”
Aaron secretly glanced at the carriage of the commander in the distance and couldn't help sighing. If it was a monster, it would be easy to say that it was a group of things more terrible than monsters.
The silent troops crossed several empty towns along the way in a straight line. They didn't mean to disperse the searchers at all, and went straight south.
As far as Aaron knows, Ellington was the only one before entering the ladia forest in the south.
The territory ruled by Donne who killed former Lord duvier Kadir.
Thinking of this, Aaron couldn't help but worry. The goal seemed obvious. I'm afraid Lord Lawrence, like duvier, wanted to attack Ellington.
After all, Ellington is now accumulating a steady stream of wealth, and the mayors of several surrounding towns will be jealous, not to mention the Lords of caspamiburg.
Before Ellington became famous, among these towns in the west close to the ambris mountains, Castle palmy was the only one in the top row. It made a lot of money from the military by supplying products to the scar of the holy sword. Now Ellington has robbed the limelight. Lord Lawrence can't help but blush and wants to start.
It happened that the farmers who fled in winter gave him an excuse to send troops
Aaron sighed a long sigh. Obviously, they are all people of the same country, but they have to fight and kill for the interest disputes between these Lords. It's really sad for people to live.
In the carriage, Lawrence looked at the troops ahead with great satisfaction.
Elite, this is the real elite!
What kind of soldiers are the soldiers left by duvier? Just a group of worthless waste. Look at these soldiers. They march without complaint. The heavy armor is like nothing. They are well disciplined and powerful. Any soldier can tear the second-order demon beast!
And obey orders absolutely, even if they are ordered to die - Lawrence really tried this command, and the soldier did not hesitate to execute it.
This is the Iron Army!
The satisfied Lawrence couldn't help feeling. He really wanted to ask the patriarch how to train these powerful dead men, but he could only dispel his curiosity when he thought of Charles's explanation in the letter.
The only trouble is that these soldiers consume a lot, and their requirements for food are troublesome. They need fresh flesh and blood.
Fortunately, the temperature is not high yet, fresh flesh and blood will not be damaged during transportation, and there are magic freezers - thank Datang chamber of Commerce, whose products are of great use at this time.
Above the hills in the distance, several human figures flashed away.
”Are these people? They obviously came for Ellington. What else do they say about hunting refugees and cheating ghosts?”
Danny stared at the man angrily: ”less nonsense. Our task is to investigate and feed back the situation.”
