"Goblin Forest?"

"Exactly. Your Majesty sent me to the Goblin Forest to exterminate the Goblins, and a few days ago I heard that Your Majesty had died, and MiG rebelled. He wanted to go to the city of fear to find His Royal Highness Liya, and at noon he heard the report of the sentry horse, and His Royal Highness Liya was besieged in the avant-garde city, so he lurked thirty miles away from here and waited, and rushed to support at night. ”

It turned out to be the team sent by King Ute to exterminate the goblins.

"Okay, General Ian has worked hard, let's go to the city to rest."

When I asked him how many cavalry there were, I asked him how many cavalry there were, and he said that there were 20,000 cavalry, but 2,000 were sacrificed in the Goblin Forest, and now 18,000 remained.

Although the number is not very large, the cavalry is a very powerful class, which will greatly enhance the strength of our army.

Andrew came back shortly after, and I introduced him to Ian. Later, Andrew sent people to some nearby towns to inquire about the news, to see which cities were still opposed to the MiG, and to unite as much as possible.

Three days later, in the military tent.

I asked Andrew, "General Andrew, how is the recruitment of recruits going?" ”

Andrew said: "Back to my lord, nearly 5,000 recruits have been recruited so far. ”

I nodded: "Yes, it is thanks to General Andrew that so many recruits can be recruited in such a short time." ”

Andrew clasped his fists and said, "My lord, I have won the award, and these achievements are all due to the best of the brothers in charge of recruitment. ”

"Okay, trouble Andrew, reward the soldiers of the army who have performed well in recruiting new recruits."

"Yes."

"In addition, the recruits have no combat experience, their combat ability is very weak, and they need to train more, which is very important, and General Andrew Lao bothered."

Andrew got up from his seat, walked to the middle of the tent to face me, and bowed again with his hands and fists:

"In this matter, the subordinates must do their best, but ......"

"Just what?"

Andrew hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, the problem of military spending needs to be solved urgently, and my subordinates think that it is possible to let the people in the city pay taxes in advance?" ”

"No! We cannot arbitrarily burden the people. Psychic hurriedly stood up in opposition.

I stretched out my right hand and motioned for the Phantom to sit down, and then let Andrew return to his seat, saying:

"General Lingphant is right, this is a problem of the army, unless there is really no way, don't increase the burden on the people."

"Military ......"

I reached out to stop Andrew from continuing.

"I'll figure it out."

After a pause, I asked, "How many troops do we have now?" ”

Andrew glanced at Ian and replied:

"Including General Ian's 18,000 cavalry, we now have 50,000 troops."

50,000, with many new recruits and wounded soldiers.

"The 18,000 cavalry is still under the command of General Ian, and General Psychic leads 5,000 elite soldiers as His Majesty's personal guard."

After that, we discussed other issues a little bit, and finally talked about the direction of operations.

Andrew advocated attacking Highland City to the west, and then mercenary troops from the nearby Mercenary City. Listen to Andrew, the city of mercenaries is full of soldiers, but that city is neutral, it did not belong to the Ruth kingdom before, and now it will not specifically support any side, they only look at money to act, anyone can pay to hire them.

Psyche advocated marching eastward, hoping to reach the vicinity of Marina City, and then she persuaded the Lord of Haydn to support her, believing that she had a good chance of gaining the support of Lord Haydn, i.e., her father.

If you hit the city to the east, it is a bit far away, and it is quite difficult to implement. It is much closer to the city of the highlands to the west, and it is only one city, unlike the many cities that have to pass through to the east, which is full of difficulties. However, if you want to hire an army from the mercenary city, the reliability of the mercenary is debatable, and the cost of hiring an army is quite expensive.

"Let's discuss the direction of the attack later, and in the next few days, we will strengthen the city defense and do a good job in the training of recruits."

After saying this, I told everyone to stand down first.

After everyone left, I asked one of the soldiers to fetch dozens of bags of marijuana, and then asked Leah to call Nilou, whose injuries were almost healed.

"Nilou, please take me and Liya on a trip to the Gobi of Death."

She looked at the large bundle of sacks beside me suspiciously, and asked:

"What are you going to do there?"

After all these time together, Nilou's attitude towards me has changed considerably, and there is no longer the same unpleasant tone between words as it was at the beginning.

I glanced around and said:

"There are a lot of people here, it's inconvenient to say, I'll tell you where to go."

Nilou prostrate herself and snorted:

"Come on."

I climbed onto Nilou's back and pulled Ria up and sat down.

Nilou's wings fluttered and she soared into the sky.

Once I reached the Gobi of Death, I beckoned to the mark I had made last time and looked at Nilou.

"There's a treasure down here, I'll move it out later, as military expenses, and I'll have you to help carry it back later."

"No problem."

She replied very simply, without showing a hint of greed.

Doesn't it mean that dragons are very greedy for babies?

By the way, Nilou was originally human.

Turning the sand open on the ground to reveal the slate door inside, I reached out and knocked rhythmically.

There was a "click" sound, and the stone door slowly opened, and the jade soldier was still standing at the entrance of the passage.

"Liya, you and Nilou are waiting for me here, I'll just go down."

"Be careful, master."

"It's okay, don't worry."

Jumping down the passage, I drew the blood moon and commanded the soldiers:

"Go get the other soldiers here."

He turned to leave.

"Wait," I stopped, "no need to go." ”

They couldn't speak, and they didn't know if they could communicate with each other.

Moreover, I remember the last time the Blood Moon appeared, it didn't take long for those jade soldiers to find them on their own. It is estimated that they will also come from some corner now.

Sure enough, after about three minutes, there was a loud rumbling sound from a distance, and soon after, the other jade soldiers came to me, waiting for orders.

"Follow me to the treasury."

As soon as I gave the order, I took the lead and hurried in the direction I remembered, with the soldier following behind.

When I arrived at my destination, I took out the sun and two tokens in my hand to make sure they didn't behave out of the ordinary. Then they were ordered to sort the treasures in the treasure trove into sacks, such as gold coins and diamonds, and I looked through the drawers to see if there was anything of particular value.

In one of the drawers, I found a bunch of night pearls the size of an adult's fist, and picked the largest income in my arms. Others are also packed into sacks. In addition, there are many very valuable things such as sapphires and amethysts, which are also packed into sacks and taken away.

In total, he filled all fifty sacks he had brought, which was less than a tenth of the treasure house.

Having the soldiers carry the full sacks to the entryway, I went into the chamber again.

Only then did it turn out that the Blood Moon and the Sunlight were the weapons in one of the murals.

In this mural, two young men each hold the sun and the blood moon, and behind them are countless armies, two of which have five generals in battle armor behind them, which stands out in the army.

The two young men, judging by the paintings in several frescoes, are supposed to be the sons of the king, that is, they are princes. Suddenly, I remembered that King Utt had said that the sun and the blood moon were part of an artifact.

I looked at another fresco, a fresco of a young king holding a sword to the sky.

Could it be that the sword in his hand is an artifact composed of the sun and the blood moon?

Looking back at the mural from the war, I realized that the blood moon and the sun were probably not yet in full force in my hands. Looking at the mural, the two princes each hold a blood moon and intersect with the sun, and cracks appear in the sky, indicating that this equipment has very terrifying powers. But how do you harness their power? Also, how can these two pieces of equipment make up that Excalibur?

I looked at several murals back and forth no less than ten times, and I kept thinking in my heart, but I couldn't think of a reasonable answer after all.

Suddenly, I noticed that the young woman beside the king seemed to have seen her.

Where is it?

Oh, it's her!

The goddess who appeared in the heart of the Sacred Lake in Marina City.

Is that goddess the queen the original?

She seems to know me, could it be that I was once a member of that kingdom?

She also said who died.

Who died?

Looking at the mural again, except for her, I didn't find any prominent female figures.

Who the hell is she talking about? What does it have to do with me?

This question cannot be answered for the time being, so I can only give up.

When they came to the entrance of the passage, the soldiers had already moved all the sacks. I carried the sacks up again, and then ordered the soldiers to close the stone door again. After covering the stone gate with sand, it was marked again.

"Liya, raise your right hand."

After Liya raised her right hand, I took out the bracelet from my bosom and put it on for Liya.

The bracelet is a white gold bracelet that is embellished with many diamonds, sapphires, and other gemstones as decorations. The white wrist of Liya is more flawless.

She had a happy smile on her face.

"Do you like it?" I asked.

She nodded, "Well, thank you, master." ”

I reached out and touched Liya's head, and smiled: "Thank you, thank you, you still need to be so polite with me?" ”

Then I looked at Nilou, who was looking up at the sky, and I didn't know what was there to see about it, but it was a sunny day, and the white clouds and blue sky were indeed quite beautiful.

"Nilou."

"Huh? Call me? She turned her head, "Oh, let's get the bag up." ”

"Wait a minute, I've got something for you before that." After saying that, I took out the night pearl from my bosom and handed it to her. "There's a lot of this stuff in those bags, don't dislike it, at least that's the biggest one out of it."

"Hee-hee, don't dislike it, don't dislike it, thank you." As she spoke, she stretched out her huge dragon claws and carefully pinched the Night Pearl.

It's also very happy to see her, after all, it's a girl.

Then she crawled down again, and I carried all the sacks on her back, and then climbed up with Lia.

"Let's go, it's time to go back, avant-garde city."

"Okay, sit tight."

After I confirmed with Riya, she flapped her wings and flew in the direction of the avant-garde city.
