(I'm sweating profusely!! 5 gold coins, plus the bright red flag pulled out by Montoya, someone actually thinks of it you are really enough~~~)
Chapter 523 [A big gift]
A large group of people marched on the snow. The snow in the wild was so deep that it almost covered the knees. Fortunately, the vanguard cavalry had trampled on the road first, and it had melted a lot. However, the snow water and soil were mixed together, and as we walked, it turned into a mass of black. of mud.
The large army is not advancing very fast.
As the backup for Montoya¡¯s cavalry and the central army for this expedition, the number of this army reached nearly 5,000.
More than three thousand of them are the escorts mobilized from various chambers of commerce.
After these escorts arrived at the Northwest Fortress, they were originally stationed around the small towns behind the Northwest Fortress to rest and spend the winter. They planned to wait until spring before heading north to go out and station themselves in various fortresses.
At this time, Chen Daolin suddenly issued an order, ordering everyone to leave the northwest fortress and assemble to go north. Such an order will naturally not get the support of many people.
¡°After all, these people are the escorts of the Chamber of Commerce, not real regular troops. It's not Chen Daolin's own direct troops. How can he sincerely fight for others? What's more, in this cold winter weather, it's better to hide behind the northwest fortress and rest safely, warming up in the house, drinking wine and eating meat, than running to the north, trekking long distances in the ice and snow, and being ready to fight the orcs at any time, right?
The morale is not high, and it even looks a little sluggish.
But Chen Daolin didn¡¯t care too much about this. He looked at the soldiers advancing around him. Those who kept their heads down and kept silent were his own troops. And in the second half of the team, those who couldn't help but whisper to each other and complain in low voices while walking. It's the escorts of the chamber of commerce.
(Time is still too tight!)
Chen Daolin sighed secretly in his heart.
"If I had given myself a few more months to reorganize the escort teams of these chambers of commerce and calmly gather military morale, at least they would not be like this.
Although I have nearly 4,000 people with me now, it can actually be said that they are all a ragtag group of people. Although in terms of individual soldier quality, the strength of the escort teams of these chambers of commerce is definitely not bad, and may even be higher than that of the ordinary regular army. However, it seems that the results are far from satisfactory.
It can only be a smooth battle. If it were a tough battle, an ordinary encounter might cause this improvised army to fall apart in an instant.
Chen Daolin sneered in his heart.
at this time. A horse quickly ran back from the front and came to Chen Daolin's side. Sitting on the horse was his disciple, the necromancer McQueen, who is now Chen Daolin's family chef.
In such a cold weather, McQueen's face was covered with sweat. On the tips of his hair, some sweat beads had frozen into ice beads hanging on them, making it look like his hair was white.
"Teacher, our speed is too slow." McQueen whispered: "This cannot continue. The distance between us and Lord Montoya's cavalry is too long. If something happens, we may not have time to respond. "
Chen Daolin nodded. Without saying anything, he whispered: "Where is Montoya?"
"Sir Montoya just sent Ade back to report that they have arrived at the fortress where the patrol encountered the orcs a few days ago and are temporarily stationed on the spot. Waiting for your order."
"Didn't you encounter any enemies along the way?" Chen Daolin narrowed his eyes.
"No." McQueen wiped the ice beads off his head and shook his head.
Chen Daolin thought for a while and shouted loudly: "Lucius!!"
In the team behind you. Lucius ran up quickly. The son of the governor had good riding skills. He rode his horse to Chen Daolin's side. Before Lucius could speak, Chen Daolin asked, "Is there any news from home?"
Lucius looked serious and said quickly in a short tone: "Moving!"
Because of a serious stuttering problem, the governor's son has gradually developed a new speaking habit, which is to be as silent as possible, and when he really wants to speak, he uses words as simple as possible. It's quite a bit like cherishing words like gold.
Chen Daolin nodded: "Okay, keep in touch with home at all times, and send at least three fast horses to contact the back every day!"
McQueen glanced at Lucius, then at Chen Daolin: "Teacher"
"Baron Pierre is very safe in doing things. It will take at most three or four days for them to complete the preparations for evacuation." Chen Daolin said calmly."Our task is to try to buy them as much time as possible."
"??"
McQueen was shaken, and he stared at Chen Daolin in surprise: "Teacher? What do you mean?"
McQueen was surprised!
Isn¡¯t this expedition to defeat the invading orc bandits? Aren't we going to have a fierce fight to drive away those orc bandits and protect the northwest fortress? Aren't you going to scare these orcs away so that they don't dare to pry into the northwest fortress anymore?
But why did the teacher say such words at this moment? !
Chen Daolin chuckled and looked at McQueen: "Can't you figure it out?"
"I just don't understand." McQueen scratched his hair: "Teacher, do you think we can't win this battle?"
Chen Daolin squinted his eyes, faced the cold wind, looked into the distance, and said calmly: "You can win."
"Then, why do you still say you want to evacuate?"
"Even if we win, we have to evacuate the northwest fortress." Chen Daolin sighed quietly.
"Here, how do you say this?" McQueen opened his mouth wide.
Chen Daolin chuckled: "A few days ago, I already figured it out I was tricked by that woman."
After a pause, Chen Daolin glanced at McQueen: "Let me tell you clearly, this time, even if we win, we have to evacuate the northwest fortress! We can't hold this northwest fortress! And there is no need to do it again. Keep it!"
"ah!!"
McQueen was startled and almost screamed.
"Don't you understand yet?" Chen Daolin said calmly: "Those words said to the outside are just to appease people's hearts. The talk of driving away the orcs, the full blow, scaring the orcs are just bluffs. In fact, I know in my heart, This battle is necessary! But this battle is not fought to defend the northwest fortress. Let me put it clearly. I am willing to fight this battle in order to use this fight to let the team see blood. Use a victory to inspire people, unite the morale of the army, and completely conquer these armies. As for the northwest fortress we can't keep it!"
McQueen is not a fool after all. Those who can enter the magic academy are naturally geniuses. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly thought of the key point. He looked at Chen Daolin with wide eyes: "Teacher, you meanthose orcs"
"Well! The orcs we have to face may not be many in number, but they are definitely not orc bandits. They must be the vanguard team sent by the orc regular army to explore the path. Even if we eat these path-exploring chess pieces, we can still Subsequent orc armies will continue to come, and we cannot afford to fight or consume our little strength."
"Thenwhy are we still fighting? It's better to evacuate early." McQueen shook his head.
"If we evacuate without fighting the hearts and minds of the people below will be shattered!" Chen Daolin said coldly: "Can our more than 10,000 people continue to follow us? The foundation and the hearts of the people we have finally created, It will all fall apart. Once the prestige is lost, it will be difficult to pick it up again! What's more even if our people are still willing to follow us what about those chambers of commerce? I used the benefits of the northwest fortress as bait to catch them, but now If we don¡¯t even act like this, I¡¯m afraid these guys will turn around and leave us!¡±
He suddenly smiled softly again: "Don't worry. We will definitely win this battle. Since the orcs are a test, the force sent will definitely not be too strong. This battle has made it clear that someone sent a whetstone. We Why not take the opportunity to hone the team you have? Hone this game. It can be regarded as making the best use of everything."
McQueen felt a little empty in his heart.
After hearing his true intentions from Chen Daolin's mouth, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
¡°Who among young people doesn¡¯t want to make great achievements, even if they are magicians. He is also a hot-blooded young man. The northwest fortress that was originally ambitious to protect has now become an outcast that must be given up. It is inevitable that there is some confusion in my heart.
"Don't worry, we will get this place back again" Chen Daolin said here, deliberately vague: "I already have backup arrangements."
(I hope those two guys won¡¯t disappoint me.)
¡¡
¡¡¡¡
A sneeze! !
Dixon sneezed hard.
Wiping his red nose vigorously, the young magician shrank his neck and trembled: "This damn weather is freezing to death."
The two horses walked slowly and alone on the snowy field, with sparse trees around them. Captain Hook walked in front, sitting on the horse, waving his hand from time to time.With his knife, he chopped off the tree branch in front of him.
"Speaking of captain, I have been to the north several times in the past few years, and I have never seen such cold weather! I have read information in the college. It has not been this cold in the north for more than a hundred years! It rained so hard of snow¡¡±
Captain Hook didn't speak, he was keeping a straight face.
"Why don't you talk to me?" Dixon shouted dissatisfied.
"You are so unlucky. If I don't say a few words to you, I won't be tainted with the bad luck." Hook said coldly.
Dixon rolled his eyes.
At this moment, the horse suddenly neighed, and Dixon was shocked!
Hook had already turned over and jumped off his horse. He raised the knife in his hand and slashed forward!
With a whoosh, I saw a white thing hitting me on the snow!
Hook slashed it with his knife and immediately split the thing in half!
It turned out that a tree stump was buried under the snow and smashed over.
Then I heard a roar, and in the surrounding snow, the ground turned up, and hundreds of figures jumped out at the same time!
These hundred and ten figures were all furry warriors of the wolf tribe. They were majestic, holding bright knives in their hands, and full of fangs. They roared and jumped out of the dug snow pits one by one, and surrounded them at the same time. come over!
Hook¡¯s eyes widened, and he saw some wolf riders in the distance, coming out of the woods and staring at the surroundings!
Can¡¯t run away!
Hook immediately made a judgment in his mind!
It would be fine if there were just some ambush orc warriors, but if the other party had wolf cavalry, then the two of them would not be able to escape no matter what.
These wolf warriors have surrounded them, and Hook holds the knife and retreats step by step.
Behind him, Dixon had also jumped off his horse and shouted loudly: "We are disciples of Darling Chen, and we want to see your leader!!"
The wolf warriors were still pressing forward step by step. After Dixon shouted twice, he heard a whistle from the distance.
This whistling sound was like the roar of a wolf. These pressing wolf warriors immediately stood firm and stopped in place.
A wolf rider came quickly, rushed out of the woods, across the snowfield, and came to the two of them.
Sitting on the majestic giant wolf is a burly wolf warrior, wearing light golden hair and leather armor, looking extremely tough!
"Darling Chen's disciples? You?"
The wolf warrior said coldly, squinting at Hook and Dixon, and suddenly nodded: "I remember you! You came here a few months ago and gave my men a batch of gifts."
Dixon walked a few steps with a smile, gently pressed Hook's arm holding the knife, suppressed the knife in Hook's hand, then spread his arms and stood in front of the wolf rider: "You are Leader? Yes, we did come here once a few months ago. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see you last time, only your men. However, you must have received the gift from our teacher, and also received it from our teacher. of goodwill.¡±
"I received the gift, but it's not a goodwill gift. I have to look at it again."
The wolf knight laughed wildly twice and whistled. The wolf knights in the distance all turned around and quickly disappeared into the forest. The wolf warriors in front of them also put away their knives and retreated to its side.
"I didn't expect that Darling Chen would still remember me, an old friend." The Wolf Riding Warrior sneered: "Tell me, explain your purpose of coming."
Dixon took a deep breath, but his eyes fell on the sword in the wolf rider.
Dixon remembered that there were several long swords with this shape in the hands of his teacher Darling Chen.
He immediately judged that he had met the biggest goal of this trip.
"You must bethe noble prince of the wolf clan, Your Highness Lei, right?"
Lei looked at the human in front of him coldly, his wolf eyes narrowed, and then he said slowly: "Our wolf tribe doesn't have as many red tapes as you humans. If your highness is not your highness, my name is Lei!"
"That's right, the teacher asked us to come here just to see you."
Dixon said slowly: "The things the teacher asked us to send last time were considered as some thoughts from old friends, but this time we sent a heavier gift."
"what gift?"
Dixon glanced at Captain Hook and said loudly: "For example your wish! We?Teacher, I am willing to provide a helping hand for His Highness Lei¡¯s great cause! "
