Chapter 575: The Promised Land (10)
After compressing the defense to the maximum, Clement drew out nearly two percent of the soldiers...... Three hundred, these warriors were small in number, but all of them were elite, and some of the adventurous Nord mercenaries who revered the strong were also joined by the team, armed with simple weapons and even no armor, and were to assist the crusaders in their expeditions as auxiliaries and convoys.
The Scarlet Crusaders had never been a diverse organization, and if it weren't for Loria in power, the Nords might not have been able to set foot in this world at all, carrying their ancestral battle axes or heavy swords, carrying large bags of dry rations and other supplies, and they had no doubts about the route of the march, they had all witnessed the defense of Snowman, and they remembered Loria and her smoke-sprayed steel behemoth vividly, and they were convinced that Loria would have a way to get around the mountain range than the Crusader had doubted.
After leaving the monastery, the expedition entered the mountains in the north, and then into a narrow and hidden valley in the east, where their leader was already waiting, and in front of everyone he pulled down the huge canvas that had hidden it over the mountain, and the entrance to the deep cave descended before everyone.
See, she always has a way, no wonder she didn't bring the most powerful cavalry with her on this trip.
……
Loria covered her ears, the stupid people yelling in the cave, she was bothered by the noise, the sudden appearance of the passage seemed to be a good omen in the hearts of the warriors, she did not expect that the morale could be so easily raised, fortunately her officers still kept their senses, and quickly shut up the excited warriors.
Of course, it was not luck that brought this deep and wide underground passage, and the underground of Azeroth was already densely covered with a network of criss-crossing networks, and it was difficult to feel at ease when he thought that these roads might pass under his own residence, and who knew if some monster would suddenly appear underground—the gnomes were perhaps the most vocal about this diǎn.
Of course, these passages, either natural or carved by mysterious creatures, are not connected for various reasons, and even if they do, most of them are difficult for people to get through, but who gave her a lover who is good at making holes?
Lately, they have been seeing less and leaving more, because Elie is busy digging holes in the ground, and at this moment, on the way to the expedition, they have some time to be alone...... In the cave where two people can walk side by side, ≈dǐng≈diǎn≈ small ≈ said, .∧.▲os_(); The Crusaders marched carefully in groups of ten, each led the way with a red-eyed man and another with a torch...... They weren't used to marching in the dark, and from time to time they would bump into their comrades or protruding rock formations, while those who were lucky enough to have a team of magicians who could illuminate a small area around them with colorful magic.
Loria and Alice walked hand in hand at the front, there was a time in the past, they had walked a similar path side by side, Loria had a small flashlight on her head, this diǎn light was enough for her to see her surroundings clearly, not to mention Alice, she was very adaptable to the underground environment, so it didn't take long for them to distance themselves from everyone, biting their ears and muttering to their heart's content.
……
Anne sat down in Loria's seat, tugging at her hair irritably...... It was too much to suddenly decide to go on an expedition and suddenly throw everything to her...... On top of that, the pink-haired and silver-haired fool actually left her to go out and fool around together!
Friendship or something, it doesn't matter anymore, because there is no pink hair worth cherishing.
Indignantly, she decided that when they returned, she must absolutely promise never to speak to them again!
Anne gritted her teeth and creaked, what annoyed her even more was her obsessive-compulsive disorder of wanting to do a good job, she could have thrown away the affairs at hand and went to sleep alone, but she couldn't control her body and came back to work, she was very annoyed by this, she felt that she was caught by those two guys and toyed with, and when she thought of the inadvertent affectionate eyes, she had the urge to blow up everything in front of her.
Burn them!
Despite all the ways she could retaliate, including secretly putting a large spoonful of chili peppers in their soup, she turned over the text on the table and cursed Loria for falling as she faced the intricacies of the situation...... She is faced with a mess, everyone has evil intentions, and the interests are intricately entangled, even if it is just a small matter of arranging a person to patrol, she must first find out whether that person is an aristocratic faction, a conservative, a radical, a reformer, or belongs to the Holy Light Truth Society that inexplicably obeys herself and the pink hair.
Is that the name of the Light Truth Society? They often get together and hide in a room with thick black curtains for meetings, is there really no conspiracy?
The aristocratic faction is always in harmony, ostensibly supporting Loria and Loria's designated self, but in fact disobeying orders, but they are quite easy to deal with, and will become more active than anyone else as long as they find common interests; the most annoying are the conservatives, who are always unconditionally opposed to change, and reform cannot be reversed, and can only barely get along with these nasty people between coercion and compromise; the radicals are the most dangerous, these fools always fantasize about unrealistic things in their heads, including but not limited to the beginning of the unification of Azeroth tomorrow and the overturning of King Meow; the reformists are Loria's largest supporter group, and they want change, but opinions are not always unanimous.
As for the Light Truth Society, as long as it is her or Loria, they will obey it unconditionally, even if the latter often makes very willful requests, they will do their best to meet them one by one, is there really no conspiracy?
Smaller, more secretive, and looser gatherings or organizations dotted the barracks, such as the sparsely numbered Steinbrads, who, despite being Loria's staunchest adherents, had a dangerous dream of restoration and were very poor at getting along with others, and for various practical reasons, Renault's remnants were not fully aware that these known and unknown enemies lurked in the crowd, and who knew if they would want to do something diǎn.
There are also many rumors, such as the inner radicals of the Light Truth Society's quiet execution, who seem to harbor a different kind of ill will towards Loria and herself, or the fact that she has heard of a mysterious cult that worships tentacles recently...... There are also ultra-conservatives who are unhappy that Loria has crossed the line of succession and taken her brother's place.
Of course, there are also those who she vaguely perceives and who are unusually similar to Loria's habits.
Anne was in a constant state of trouble, the hard work giving her a headache, and the smell of spices, which was so strong that it was hard to breathe, became even more uncomfortable. (To be continued.) )
