Chapter 014. Humiliation in the contract
Early the next morning, the wild girl on the side of the road was already ready to go.
The sky outside is a little dark, and the rainy season has not stopped, so it can be estimated that today's trip may not be smooth, muddy roads and wet wind and rain are obstacles.
This was expected yesterday, and although the road ahead is difficult, it is time to go.
The convoy of the castle town is ready.
Fully loaded with supplies.
They are all subsidized items collected overnight by roadside families.
In order to express his support for the wild girls on the side of the road, Nanzuo Castle also specially dispatched 2 teams of elite spear ashigaru and 1 team of elite archery ashigaru in the city defense force, with a total of 300 people as entourage, so as to reach Hachifan Mountain safely.
These units are mainly protected, and most of the defense is ordinary robbers or bandits.
Even scattered low-level youkai can deal with it.
It's all elite.
Whatever you say, the wild girl on the side of the road is the grandson of Masao on the side of the road.
Since they dared to send these three teams of elite ashigaru to the front line such as Hachifan Mountain as an escort, it means that these troops can resist possible small-scale conflicts with the monsters and maintain the stability of the front line.
Bafan Mountain is indeed the front line, and if you continue to go deeper, you will find the city of Bird Lin Mountain and Ghost Wolf's Den.
Youkai are all cruel and tyrannical beings.
Although the two sides have never continued to fight since the contract was signed 16 years ago.
However, in recent years, the country of Chino Province has seen an endless stream of crazy yokai and strange spirits, and the frequency of youkai in the sea near the eastern coastline has also increased and become more and more manic.
Although Nansa Castle sent samurai to lead the elite ashigaru team to suppress it.
But there are a lot of experiences involved.
Think about it.
If these have nothing to do with the city of the ghost wolf's lair in the mountains, it is a joke!
Otherwise, Nanzuo City will not be preparing for war all year round, and there are 2,000 elite ashigaru who are out of production on standby at any time, for fear that the city of the ghost wolf's lair, which is still unclear in the mountains, will launch a surprise attack and rush over directly
You must know that the terrain from Bafan Mountain to Nansa Castle is a plain.
What to defend with?
You can only rely on Nansa Castle itself to defend against the enemy army!
Thankfully, the Japanese-style castle itself is a castle, and the role of the hill is to defend itself with military defense as the ultimate goal, and even if the monsters rush over, they are not afraid at all.
From the city defense to the city defense troops, plus a variety of enchantments and sword heroes.
Nansa Castle is impregnable!
It's a pity that the castle town next to it is next to it, and the bustling market is expected to be destroyed.
Now that the wild girl on the side of the road has taken the initiative to take over the important task of going to Bafan Mountain to build a fiefdom, it is equivalent to taking over the resistance at the forefront of the frontline, and sharing the pressure for the roadside family, Nanzuo City, and even Qianye Country.
Just like he thought before, the wild girl on the side of the road at this time stood on the moral high ground.
The people who sent them off on this trip are all respected family elders.
Joshita-cho warehouse.
The wrinkled old man had a sad look on his face.
Looking at the wild girl on the side of the road who was full of immaturity, but didn't know how dangerous it was at Bafan Mountain, his heart was touched a little: "How bumpy it is to go here, wild girl, you..."
The wild girl on the side of the road chuckled and nodded: "I naturally know." β
He has confidence in his heart.
But the old man took his confidence as an ignorant and fearless.
The sadness on his face was a little more, and he sighed lightly and slowly explained to the wild girl on the side of the road: "In the original contract, the city of the ghost wolf's den proposed that it could not build a fortress in Bafan Mountain, and we couldn't do anything about it. β
Hearing this, the wild girl on the side of the road looked stunned: "Is there anything else?"
He was indeed puzzled.
The geographical location of Bafan Mountain is excellent, just holding the entrance and exit of the mountain pass.
As long as the local fortress is built, it is equivalent to locking the throat of the city of Quelin Mountain and the Ghost Wolf's Den, no matter whether Nanzuo Castle is attacking or defending, it will appear to be at ease, and it will not be as passive as it is now.
But immediately, the wild girl on the side of the road reacted: "Then can it be my fiefdom?"
Fiefdoms are not the same as fortresses.
But as long as the fief is built, it definitely contains fortresses and fortresses.
Hearing this question, the sadness on the old man's face became even stronger: "This is what I want to say!" I couldn't help but sigh heavily: "After you arrive at Hachifan Mountain, you can only build a village town and a fang city..."
Before she finished speaking, the wild girl on the side of the road frowned and asked, "Can't there be fortresses and soldiers?"
The old man nodded with a bitter face: "That's right." β
His face was ashamed.
There are no fortresses and barracks in the fiefdom, so what kind of fief is it?
Even if the developed villages and towns are extremely prosperous, and lack effective means of defense, it is equivalent to giving supplies to the monsters in the mountains in the mountains, no matter how big the industry is, it will eventually be a yellow flower of yesterday.
It's just the sadness of the old family, but the corners of the wild girl's mouth on the side of the road show a smile.
He said lightly: "No problem!"
"Huh?"
The old man's face was shocked: "What... What?!"
Last night, when the sect master asked him to send a message to the wild girl on the side of the road to explain the situation, his mood was extremely low, this restriction was simply an insult to any samurai, and he didn't know how to persuade him.
After all, the wild girl on the side of the road is also a member of the clan family, and she is still a son of a grandson, an honorary martial artist!
Although not a real samurai.
But the blood is there.
Anyway, it's also the grandson of the daimyo of Chino Country.,With the aftermath of his father's exhaustion and death, he can get the title of samurai.,Although he can't get a fiefdom.,But there's no problem living as a rich man.γ
Now that you have obtained a fief, but you can't even build a fortress and a fortress, how can it not be humiliating?
This is also the reason why no samurai has ever chosen a fief in Hachifan Mountain.
It boils down to two.
Reputation.
Benefit.
Become a samurai in a land that is bound to be conquered.
All the money is destined to be plundered by the monsters, what is the use of such a fief?
No one had ever made it before, and such a humiliating proposal was deliberately hidden by Nanzuo Cheng and the roadside family, which caused the wild girl on the roadside to know nothing about it, but was a little stunned when she heard it.
But since I agreed, I didn't have any opinions in my heart, and it didn't matter.
Isn't there just no way to build fortresses and barracks?
He doesn't need to!
A ninja village is also a village.
Although the area is definitely larger, there may be a wall on the outermost periphery, and there will be some garrison troops stationed in it, especially organizations such as the dark department, but one thing is for sure, that is, there is no army!
What does the ninja want the army to do?
Live war?
Disperse directly around the enemy's troops in squads.
There will be a wave of all kinds of large-scale ninjutsu, a wave of range-type ninjutsu, a wave of damage ninjutsu fixed-point destruction, and finally a wave of direct decapitation of physical arts, won't things come alive?
The wild girl on the side of the road glanced at the heroic figure in the corner wearing a robe.
Well.
Anyway, Madara is still there, the army or something, what's the use?
Thinking about the excitement of becoming the emperor, the wild girl on the side of the road couldn't help but want to declare to all the monsters here: Order a cool song and send it to all the garbage here, and the maddara behind me will dance with you!
Facing the stunned old man, the wild girl on the side of the road said easily: "It's all a trivial matter!"
"A trifle?"
The elders of the family were at a loss: "Wild girl... I know the family is right for you..."
But before he finished speaking, the wild girl on the side of the road waved her hand casually: "These are all small details, the family is good to me, I have prepared so many materials and protection troops, let's go!"
Without waiting for the old man to continue to say something, the wild girl on the side of the road waved forward: "Let's go!"
"Heyβ"
The sound of response suddenly appeared in the warehouse of the castle town.
The coachmen immediately flicked their whips and let the sturdy wagons pull the wagons laden with supplies out of the rain-sheltered warehouse, leaving ruts and horseshoe prints as the wooden wheels rolled over the already soft pavement.
Just outside, the ashigaru wearing the rain hats immediately followed.
The team officially set off in the rain.
On the side of the road, Momotaro also cried and said goodbye to many familiar servants.
The decadent appearance of the loveless and the sad faces of the servants, it is like going to Bafan Mountain this time, it is destined to be a trip to Huangquan Road, in fact, even the elite ashigaru team is full of twilight.
What kind of place is Bafan Mountain, this group of people knows in their hearts.
If it weren't for the prestige of the roadside house, it would be here.
It is estimated that even if they resist or flee, they don't want to go to Bafan Mountain to fight against those terrifying monsters!
There used to be a few villages and towns in the vicinity of Hachifan Mountain, and the harvest of mountain goods was still quite prosperous, but in the past 16 years, all the local villages have been abandoned, and the villagers have been relocated to other prefectures.
All that is left is the hunters who are familiar with the terrain and the mountains and forests to detect movements in the mountains.
in the warehouse.
The old man moved his shriveled lips.
Seeing the wild girl on the side of the road put on a coat and rode a horse, she braved the light rain and walked towards the field, and the tears on her wrinkled old face were about to fall: "What a good boy on the side of the road!"
It's just a wild girl on the side of the road riding a horse in the light rain, but it feels very cool.
The key is to be open-minded.
Turning her head to look, the wild girl on the side of the road was stunned and swept over the place where she had lived for 16 years.
Behind him, the majestic Nansa Castle resembles a samurai sitting on his knees, and the castle town next to it looks like a dinner plate placed on the side, creating a hazy feeling created by a rain curtain in the drizzle.
There is not much nostalgia, and there is not much emotion, just a cheerfulness.
"Freedom?"
The corners of the wild girl's mouth on the side of the road curled slightly: "This is really good!"
His legs lightly knocked on the horse's belly, and he looked at Madara, who was also riding a horse and following behind, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more high: "A new life is about to begin, isn't it?"
On the distant horizon, rows of black lines appear blurred.
That's the mountains.
It is said to be an endless mountain that separates the country of Chino and the country of the center.
Bloody and terrifying monsters, bandits who broke the law, and prisoners who fled from all over the world, as well as the monsters who have built the city of ghosts and wolves' dens on a large scale!
