On this expedition, Tomorrow City was equipped with a large number of carriages and horses, which were transported on ships and transported all the way to the south.

Half a day later, they arrived at the town of South Bank, where the army disembarked and pulled 300 wagons to land.

These wagons were modified to carry up to eight soldiers at a time, or to transport rations, without the roof and side walls.

If you start a war, you can use four soldiers to build a shield wall to protect your allies, and then assign four people to shoot with muskets in their hands, and the carriage can run after firing, increasing the mobility of musketeers.

It is also possible to do without a shield wall, and each car is lined up in a straight line, and eight people in each car fire at the same time.

Ivan sat in the car and spread out the topographic map of the surrounding area produced by Southbank, which recorded the location of Southbank and the villages he would meet on the way.

"Lord Ivan, we will pass by a small village on our way, do we need to investigate them?"

"Go and see, if you can persuade them to relocate, they will relocate, and there is one more point, everyone is not allowed to do anything, you know?"

"Understood!" The soldiers replied forcefully.

Ivan glanced at the topographical map of the vicinity, and their carriage had gone around the official road, the main artificially created thoroughfare, where there were fewer weeds.

After ten minutes of traveling, the motorcade finally saw a mud house appear on the side of the road.

"The whole army is on alert, don't let your guard down!"

After Ivan gave the order, he patted the pigeons on the car again.

These pigeons have been trained by Allen and are capable of performing medium-difficulty scouting missions.

The pigeons saw Ivan's sign language, and the three pigeons understood, spread their wings and flew into the blue sky, hovering above the small village.

Half a minute later, a pigeon returned, and Ivan took out three colored cardboards, each of which was a different color, corresponding to no danger, no danger, and major danger.

The pigeon stepped on the non-dangerous white paper, Ivan breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and ordered the crowd: "The village is safe, enter the village!" ”

The orcs got out of the carriage and walked into the village, where they saw that the mud village was empty, and there was not a single orc on the road.

Ivan carefully observed each of the mud huts and saw that the contents were not much damaged, but there were many animal footprints on the ground.

"A village engulfed by a tide of beasts?"

Ivan walked out of the mud hut and saw the small wooden fence that had been torn down, and there were several deep footprints there, which confirmed his suspicion even more.

"This footprint is a bit like a frog, and looking at the depth of the footprint, it may be an unknown beast." Ivan crouched down and pinched the footprints.

Two minutes later, the scout returned from reconnaissance and stood up and saluted: "Report, no villagers found!" ”

"Get out of the village, get in the car and keep going!"

The army returned to the wagon and continued to move forward, with two pigeons patrolling in the sky and the other pigeons conserving their strength in the wagon.

The motorcade marched for half an hour, and the flying pigeons suddenly returned to the army, and then Ivan knew that there was a complex of buildings ahead, and there were people.

"All the troops on alert!" Ivan said.

The musketeers tensed up again and clenched the spears in their hands, which were not so useful in forest warfare.

Five minutes later, everyone was relieved to see ordinary mud hut complexes, with orcs in flax and tattered shirts working in the fields.

It turned out to be a small village.

However, this small village is not indicated on the map, and it may be a small village that is not well-known, or it may be a small village that has been newly built in recent years.

The map of Lionheart hadn't been updated in a long time, and Ivan's map of Southbank was the one he had drawn ten years ago.

The orcs in the small village were originally farming, but they were all startled when they suddenly saw a group of orcs with uniform clothes and a confident and tough temperament.

The little villagers were not afraid of the little beasts, but they were afraid of the army, and they did not know which side of the other side was, so they took their hoes and retreated to the village.

The villagers retreated to the clearing, shivering one by one, and a woman in the crowd carried the child into the mud hut for fear that the army would find the child.

After a while, two pure humans appeared in the villagers, and their faces were flustered, and they said uneasily, "Ladies and gentlemen, is there something wrong?" ”

Ivan saw the human village chief appear, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he quietly looked at the two pure humans with no animal ears and no animal tails.

The human village chief was stared at, and his heart was furious, not knowing what the two of them wanted to do.

Three seconds later.

"We are the regular army of Tomorrow City, and our mission is to liberate the slaves of the whole country and call out all the slaves in your village."

Ivan looked at it for a long time and thought that the other party was too weak, and he was immediately not interested.

The human village chief said with a bitter face: "Our village is a small village, and there are no slaves. ”

Ivan waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and then led the team into the village to check if there were any slaves.

The villagers were very jealous of the presence of the army, but did not dare to say anything.

After making random inquiries, Ivan learned that the village had experienced a beast tide before, and the villagers took refuge in caves.

The other village was also affected by the beast tide, so the human village chief of the other village also led a team to take refuge, and the villagers of the two villages were merged.

After the beast tide passed, the two village chiefs led the villagers back to the village to continue farming, but the farmland was trampled by wild beasts, and there was not much food in stock, and now the whole village was afraid that Ivan and other soldiers would stay for lunch.

His heart moved, and he persuaded: "You don't have rice to eat, why don't you go to Tomorrow City, I have food and shelter over there, and I also have a job." ”

"My lord, I'm afraid it's a little difficult, everyone has lived here for a long time, and they have feelings for this place, and they don't really want to leave their homeland." The human village chief's face changed, and he almost cried.

The army in this era is very fatal, and there are often robberies, robbing women, and snatching children.

However, if the army used strong measures, the villagers had to give in, after all, they did not have the ability to fight the army.

"It's okay, our army in Tomorrow City is not an unreasonable army......"

Ivan got up, he was still on the march, and the matter of requisitioning the village was not in a hurry for the time being.

When he returned from the battle in Southbank Town and returned to Tomorrow City with a group of prisoners of war, even if they didn't want to go, they would definitely be frightened when they saw a group of prisoners of war, and they would agree to anything when the time came.

"Sir Ivan, five slaves found!"

Suddenly, there was a shout from the village, and the face of the human village chief changed, and without saying a word, he knelt on his knees, "Lord Ivan spare his life, those five slaves are the daughters-in-law bought by the villagers from Nan'an Town, and they are still pregnant women!" ”

In this era, there was an imbalance between men and women in some small villages, and some villagers might go to the city to buy female slaves and buy them back as daughters-in-law for their sons.

Ivan knew that the other party's behavior was in line with the contemporary concept of orcs, but he still couldn't help but get angry, and snorted coldly: "Since it's a pregnant woman, then we have to take it away!" ”

"This ...... But what about the children, the five villagers will be broken, and we don't have enough money to buy slaves. "The human village chief is embarrassed.

"It's none of your business."

Ivan turned around and made a loud noise.
