"Hmm-" Xia Zuo pursed his lips, and after a few seconds, let out a laugh and said to Sauron, "In this case, it is really difficult to be a general, and Your Majesty is also wrong to blame you." It's not that the general is slacking off, but there is really no way. ”

"Exactly. ”

"But the general should not be too worried. Xia Zuo said with a bright smile, "I came to Reef Fort this time, the first purpose is to inquire on behalf of His Majesty, and the second purpose is to help the general solve the problems you may encounter. Didn't you say that the general said that there is an extreme shortage of troops?"

Sauron glanced at Xia Zuo and nodded, "Yes." ”

"That's right, I brought the troops you lacked, General, and now they are stationed outside the reef fort, and there are not many of them, a total of half a regiment - five hundred. This is indeed a little less, but they are all elites, and there are a hundred knights in magic costumes, and it should be enough to help the general complete the journey of Sharin. ”

"So, Mr. Xia Zuo, are you going to lead the troops to Shalin in place of my people?"

"That's right. Xia Zuo nodded.

"Then I want to thank Mr. Xia Zuo. ”

"Yes, it's my job. Xia Zuo said softly, and then changed his tone, "However, before leaving, I want to trouble the general with one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I want the name of a general's team, and I want to go to sarin under the name of one of the general's teams. Xia Zuo said, "After all, this matter was ordered by His Majesty to the general." I can help, but it's better not to mess with your identity. ”

"Do you want to borrow the number...... Sauron's eyebrows moved, "According to military regulations, the number of the team is not allowed to be borrowed casually, and those who violate it will be executed, Mr. Xia Zuo." ”

Xia Zuo smiled when he heard this: "General, this is exactly what I will talk about next." As I said earlier, I came with His Majesty's personal order, and one of His Majesty's personal orders allowed me to borrow the military number temporarily. I think that His Majesty's orders must prevail over military regulations. ”

Sauron's brows furrowed slightly, and he remained silent, looking at Xia Zuo for a long time.

After a while, Sauron finally reopened his mouth and asked, "I don't know Mr. Xia Zuo, who wants to borrow the number of my unit?"

"I want to ......" Xia Zuo said quickly, obviously planning for a long time. But after saying a beginning, after seeing Sauron's serious appearance, he smiled lightly and changed his words, "How do I know which team has the right number, after all, I am not a member of the army." It's better to let the general choose a number for me, I believe that with the general's ability, he will not let me down. ”

"Since Mr. Xia Zuo trusts me so much, well, I'll choose one. Sauron raised an eyebrow and spoke, "You can borrow ...... Outfit. ”

"Really?" Xia Zuo's eyes widened, slightly surprised.

"Of course. ”

"Thank you, General. Xia Zuo smiled with satisfaction.

"No, I should thank Mr. Xia Zuo. ”

......

A few minutes later.

Xia Zuo left the command room, and Sauron looked in the direction Xia Zuo left, and was silent for a long time.

The wizard Hule approached and whispered, "General, just let him go?" The name he borrowed is not ordinary, and if something really happens, we can't explain it. ”

"People are coming, so it means that some things can't be stopped. Sauron shook his head lightly and said, "In that case, it's better to be generous and let the other party do it." Since he wants it, give him the best. In this way, it is also a good time to see what kind of attitude Salyn has towards us. On my orders, send someone to keep an eye on this so-called envoy and see what he will encounter on his way to Shalin with his troops. No matter what you encounter, don't meddle, and after reading it, report it truthfully. ”

"Yes. The wizard Hule nodded and stepped out.

......

The sun is blazing.

To the west of the reef fort, on the vast wilderness.

"Click, click, click......"

The sound of horses' hooves sounded from the end of the horizon, and with the yellow dust raised, a large group of people appeared, galloping rapidly.

When I got closer, I could see that this was a rather large cavalry team, with about five hundred people.

Among them, the first hundred people who opened the way, wearing a full set of demonic armor, were magic-clad knights who even had a headache when a wizard saw them. The four hundred people behind are also elites, and the murderous aura on their bodies is so strong that they can't hide it, which is definitely not something that can be practiced by cutting straw men on weekdays.

In the middle of the procession, Char's envoy, Ax Shazo, rode a white horse and looked around as he walked around.

After traveling for several miles, a yellow-clothed subordinate approached Xia Zuo's side, stretched out his hand and pointed to a hill in front of him, "My lord, after the hill in front, it is the territory of Shalin." ”

"It's finally time for sarin. Char squinted at Xiaoshantoudao, turned his head to the subordinate who spoke, and asked, "Is there anything to pay attention to when you enter the territory of Shalin?"

"This ......," the man groaned for a moment, and said, "My lord, the first thing we should pay attention to should be the terrain. This area of the western frontier of our alliance was relatively flat before entering the sarin, and the road was very difficult to walk after entering the sarin. Although Shalin has been building roads and improving traffic in the past few years, you told us that it is better to stay hidden and not go from the main road, so the direction we chose is very rugged and we will suffer a little bit.

Secondly, there is the issue of security. Speaking of which, three years ago, the security of the entire sarin was not good, and the thieves were rampant, but now there are a lot fewer thieves, and they will basically not be encountered when they take the avenue, but we can't say for sure when we take the small road. However, no matter what kind of thief group it is, it is unlucky to encounter us, and we can easily deal with it, at most it will be delayed.

And ......"

The subordinates kept talking, and the team had already run over the hill as they spoke, when Xia Zuo saw an abrupt two-story stone building appear in the field of vision in front of him.

"What's that?" Natsuzo asked with a curious curiosity, interrupting his subordinates and pointing forward.

The subordinates listened, looked at Xia Zuo's fingers, looked at it for a while, and said in a somewhat unconvinced tone, "Outpost?"

"Click......

The procession was not slow, and soon it was in front of the two-story stone building, and two soldiers in leather armor ran out of it, holding spears and looking at it vigilantly.

It's really an outpost...... After Xia Zuo saw it, he raised his eyebrows, waved his hand to signal the team to stop, and carefully looked at the soldiers who ran out.

The two soldiers, one old and one young, looked nearly sixty years old, and the younger looked less than twenty years old. The old soldier, full of twilight, looked calm, but his eyes were evasive, which already showed that his heart was empty. The young soldier had no idea that so many people would suddenly appear in front of the sentinel site, and his trembling hands betrayed how panicked he was in his heart.
