Section 29 Camp in Uba
Ever since Cook killed the knight who was pretending to be a thief, Cook had become depressed, and he had been silent all the way, just keeping his head down and hurrying non-stop!
Over the years, Cook has been training in the training camp in order to deal with the enemy and protect the kingdom and its people. But Cook never expected that the first time he killed someone, he would actually kill his own people! The world was beyond Cook's imagination, and he kept thinking about it all the way, he didn't know what all these years of hard work were for, was it just to kill each other?
Miller knew that Cook was in a very bad mood, and the taste of killing for the first time was really not very pleasant, and he felt disgusting even when he watched it from the sidelines, not to mention that the blood sprayed on Cook's face, so you can imagine how frightened Cook should be.
Miller only guessed that the bandits might be related to some knights, but no one expected that the bandits were actually them. The kingdom is now fighting on the east and west sides, but some nobles in the kingdom who sit back and want to do things can do such a rebellious thing for money. The scourge of bandits in Widun has existed for countless years, and it is very likely that the Azedo are playing tricks, and the king has ignored them for so many years, apparently deliberately protecting them, thus showing that the decay of the kingdom has been deeply rooted. This is the main reason why Miller doesn't pay much attention to the training camp, because he doesn't want to work for these mediocre aristocratic classes, so he chooses to engage in his favorite goods sales, at least to satisfy his desire to do business.
The knights did not rest all night, and followed Cook back to the royal capital without stopping. The riders, who had been tired from a long gallop, were exhausted, and Cook himself could not bear this fatigue, and unconsciously slowed down the speed of his horses.
As dusk approached, another fork in the road appeared! The straight direction is the wide road leading to the royal capital, while the gravel path next to it leads to the town of Uba.
As a native of Uba Town, Miller warmly invited everyone and said: "Everyone has been on the road for a day and a night, and they must have been tired for a long time. It's not too early now, and we've already completed the task anyway, so there's no need to rush so much! Otherwise, you will come with me to the town of Uba to rest for the night, and let me get some Uba wine for the knights to cheer up, and it will not be too late to return to the royal capital on the road early tomorrow morning."
Before Cook could speak, Rossabar said excitedly: "Okay, good, Uba is the best wine in the world, if you can have some roast lamb to drink, it will be perfect." ”
After saying this, the knights laughed together, and Miller immediately replied: "Of course, how can you not have roast mutton, I guarantee that everyone eats and drinks good things." ”
For this very normal request, Cook did not refuse, the knights drooled when they heard it, this is not going to go, otherwise he will be too mean as a knight! Cook said nothing, and when he came to the fork in the road he rode first to the path to the town of Uba, and the knights followed with joy, one by one to their delight.
The town of Uba is located in the middle of the mountain forest, the night breeze here is a little cool, the knights in the camp to build piles of bonfires, knights seven or eight people sit around the bonfire, while drinking wine and eating bread, there is a joy of talking and talking.
Miller not only brought a few goats from the town for the knights, but also some chickens, which the knights made separately and roasted on the fire.
Miller is very particular about eating, he grills the meat while sprinkling various spices on the meat, making the aroma spread and tempting to the mouth.
After Miller's careful roasting, he handed the roasted meat to Cook with satisfaction.
When Cook saw this piece of fat mutton, he suddenly recalled the picture of Widun's bandits, the color of these meats was somewhat similar to the wounds of those corpses after blood loss, Cook was nauseous, and waved his hand again and again: "No need, I'll just eat a few bites of bread." ”
Miller was busy for a long time, but he got such an answer, which made Miller a little annoyed. Originally, Cook was silent all the way, Miller felt very depressed about this, and now Miller is even more dissatisfied with Cook.
Miller said indignantly: "Why don't you kill a few evil knights, don't you?" This world is like this, as long as there are people, there are good and bad, if you don't kill those rebellious knights, how can you help the reputation of our knights? ”
Miller's sudden anger surprised Cook, who looked at Miller, reached out and picked up a piece of roasted meat and opened his mouth to eat it.
Seeing that Miller was still sitting on the side angrily, Cook smiled and said, "Yo, your technique is not bad, it tastes very good!" What kind of good stuff is this, why is it so delicious? ”。
Hearing Cook's praise, Miller couldn't help but laugh, and he replied, "You don't know that, do you?" I went to several shops to get it, and it was pepper and allspice from Nila. Now is no more than before, as soon as the war came, the mainland's trade routes were cut off, and everything was in short supply, especially food-related things! ”。
Cook nodded, and continued to praise Cook, "I know that you are the most capable, and you can still eat such delicious things this year, only you Miller can get it." ”
"Go, go!" For such an exaggerated statement, Miller listened very unpleasantly: "There are too many things in your Earl's Court to count, what am I, you don't laugh at me." ”
Cook asked cheerfully, "Hehe." Oh, by the way, have you heard anything from the town, how is the fighting going on Luo Khan's side? ”
After hearing this, Miller sighed and said: "Well, I heard from the people in the tavern that the battle of Luo Khan was not going well, since the death of King Luo Khan, our knightly army has been defeated one after another, and now almost all of them have retreated to the vicinity of Yuguan. ”
Cook was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say that Luo Khan has a heroic knight with a red ribbon, as long as he is there, there is no war that cannot be won!" ”。
Miller shook his head and said, "I don't know, it seems that even the Red Ribbon hero has disappeared without a trace, and our kingdom is in danger if it continues like this." ”
Rosharbar happened to come over to add wood to the campfire, and when he heard them mention the war, he sat down with great interest and asked: "I heard from people passing by that our entire Luo Khan territory has been lost, and the barbarians have attacked our Yuguan, and if Yuguan is breached, then our king will be in danger!" ”。
Cook immediately replied, "Yuguan is so easy to break, the walls there are tall and strong, and there are ten thousand defenders of our kingdom in the fortress!" Isn't the kingdom still reinforcing now, and even Deske rushed over with the Knights, and it will be fine. ”
Rossabar, who was older after all, said worriedly, "That's not good. I wonder if our Luo Khan's western fortress was also very strong, and it wasn't taken by the barbarians. There is a hero Assel in front of this Luo Khan, and there is a hero knight with a red ribbon behind him, what are they doing, how can they let the barbarians hit us Yuguan. ”
Miller smiled coldly and said very unhappily, "Do you remember the 10,000 paladins army in our Fengdu last year? ”
Cook looked at Miller and said, "You know, didn't you say that the whole army was wiped out by a surprise attack by the barbarians?" Is there anything else hidden? ”。
Miller shook his head and sighed, "Hey, the secret? What is hidden! The paladins of Fengdu, who can stop an army of five or 10,000 paladins? ”
Roshabar sneered, "That's what I said, but that's useless. The barbarians have used their strength against us, and their armies are so numerous that they seem to be impossible to kill. ”
Miller retorted in disagreement: "If the god of war Knight is alive, give him such an army of paladins, he can occupy the barbarian capital Visa." ”
Cook frowned after hearing this, and asked rhetorically, "According to what you say, is there a problem with the command ability of our knight leader?" ”
"Of course!" Miller replied indignantly: "How do the barbarians fight, and set traps for you to rush." How did our regimental commanders command the army, do you think they have any other way than to charge in a strong column to send them to their death? ”
Miller's words, said that Cook and Rossabar were silent. Miller continued: "The battlefield of the kingdom is such a situation, those so-called knight captains, always feel that the frontal charge without any conspiracy is worthy of the knight's approach. But this is war, and the barbarians don't talk about it, as long as they can win the war, no matter what means can be used, they never want to taboo anything. It's not nonsense to use this method to confront the barbarians, and what kind of reputation and decency are you talking about! ”
As soon as the words were spoken, Cook and Rossabal were silent. Although what Miller said may not be the truth, this so-called decent combat atmosphere is indeed popular in the kingdom knights' army, and in addition to charging and sprinting, the knights have not practiced other combat methods in peacetime.
Just as they fell silent, suddenly there was a commotion at the gate of the camp, and several embarrassed knights rode up to their horses, and one of them shouted, "Cook, Cook is not here." ”
Hearing someone shouting at him, Cook vaguely felt that something was wrong, he threw down the barbecue in his hand, and hurriedly rushed forward to reply, "I'm here, who are you, what's wrong." ”
In the flickering light of the fire, Cook could see the face of the visitor, and he recognized him at a glance. This man is the most powerful knight chief under his father, his name is Deran, he is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old today, and he is the most courageous knight chief in the royal knights!
Delan's face was black, covered in dust and blood, and it was obvious that he had just crawled out of the fighting.
Delan jerked down, hurried to Cook, and dragged him to turn and leave. Delan was in a hurry, and as he walked, he said, "Thank goodness I finally found you. Come with me, the kingdom's Yuguan has been lost, and the barbarians have attacked the royal capital. ”
"What?" Derain's words were like a bolt from the blue, and Cook was stunned, and he asked in horror, "What about my father?" Why aren't you with him? ”
Delan's expression was very painful, and a trace of tears flashed in his eyes! He stopped and replied to Cook bitterly: "In Luo Khan, the army of our kingdom has been defeated, and Yuguan has been in a hurry! The king personally led a large army to reinforce Yuguan, and the Knights of Connor in the First Duke's Palace, and our Knights of the Royal Capital, all followed His Majesty the King to conquer in person. We arrived at Yuguan yesterday at noon, and immediately took part in the battle at Yuguan, which lasted until this morning. There are so many barbarians, His Majesty the King and the princes, First Duke Connor, and your father, have died in battle. ”
"What?" Derain's words were another pound blow, so shocked that Cook could barely believe that it was all true.
Deran was anxious, and he continued: "My life was rewarded by Lord Earl Fox, and before Yuguan was broken, your father told me to come to you with a team of knights and let me leave Yuguan alive. You leave me now, go to your mother, and then leave the royal capital and flee to Dragon City!" It's almost too late, don't ask more, hurry up, otherwise the king won't be able to enter. ”
Cook's head buzzed as he listened, and his father's tall figure and his mother's kind smile flashed in his mind.
