Chapter 9 Opportunity
When the floodgates of the night are opened, the sound of dogs barking, like the deep alleys of the century, ancient and long, and the roosters crow, like the stars falling at dawn, crisp and loud. A day in a small village often begins slowly like this.
At this time, the night watchman can also return to rest in the softness with relaxation and tiredness.
"Rare...... Han, wake up, have breakfast. ”
But unfortunately, that past is gone.
When he opened his eyes, the blanket wrapped around his body was also lifted and rolled up, and thrown into the wooden box opened by the attendant. Five hours of sleep is a little short, but it's not enough.
"Is it corn soup and bread again? Uruk, who slept late but was still in good spirits, took the soup bowl and bread from his hand, and Han asked while twisting his neck to relax his muscles.
"If you don't like it, you can swap it with Haoer, gnaw on the 'gray bricks', and drink mixed vegetable soup. ”
Many of the foot knights and mercenaries had already eaten breakfast, put on their armor and helmets, and when the Chinese tent was completely closed, it was almost time to set off - looking at the banner of the dragon leader waving in the wind hundreds of meters away, Uruk drank the last bite of soup in the bowl.
"Well......" Uruk's squire died, but the man still brought the same number of knight squires for breakfast, and Hall was lucky enough to get the extra one, and was feasting on the two "gray bricks". Glancing at the gauze wrapped around his forearm, he didn't choose to do it, "Next time, I need nutrition now." ”
The bread eaten by the knights was made of pure wheat, and the "gray bricks" eaten by the squires were not real bricks, but it was difficult not to associate it with limestone for those who saw it for the first time. This brown bread, made from a variety of flour substitutes, including grains such as barley, oats, rye, and even chestnuts and beans, can be imagined as a piece of gray-black limestone.
Due to its complex composition, it is particularly difficult to ferment, so it tastes harder – in winter, it is even strong enough to be used by street thugs to beat people.
After eating breakfast and putting the cutlery in the aftermath man's bucket, Han began to put on his armor. While wearing armor, he did not forget to observe the attendants who were still "gnawing bricks".
"It's been nearly half a month since you traveled, and for such a long journey, is that the supplies prepared for them just like that?"
"I can eat one meal of meat in two days, which is much better than when I was stationed. ”
Uruk replied very bluntly to Han's speech, after all, under the rule of Count Hogan, it was quite rich to reach a city. There are no hills and pastures in the territory, and there are no large rivers and harbors, and it is already a blessing from the Lord God to be able to eat meat once a week.
Looking at the eastern sky, the old knight shouted to the comrades on standby around him before putting on his helmet, "Foot knights, the formation is ready to go!"
When the sun carriage of the god of light completely jumped out of the horizon and officially flew into the sky, the flag bearers of all sections of the army played the opening and pulling of the flag in no particular order.
