Chapter 878: Legion from the South (I.)
As the twilight fades and the dawn appears, the Lucia Mountains in July are almost transparent blue, and the mountains are swept away by the morning breeze and reveal their icy skin to travelers from the south. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The glaciers and snow-capped peaks of the plateau melt slightly under the warm soothing of the summer sun, turning into small streams that flow through the mountains and valleys, and finally join the Veres River, which originates at the top of the snow-capped mountains, and in two weeks the water level will rise enough for large ships to sail, and this main artery connecting the north and south waterways will also usher in the busiest season of the year.
On the mountain road leading to Kitland, a large contingent marched, and the morning breeze lifted a white cloak that was both cold protection and camouflage, revealing the lined armor and weapons, reflecting the cold glow of steel in the morning light.
In the march, a middle-aged officer in a black enchanted cuirass rode his horse slowly, the wind and dust deepened his complexion, and the subtle wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes did not detract from his charm, and his waist was still straight on horseback like a young man, and his deep eyes were bright and hot.
"Boris, I hope to end the fighting on the plateau by October, so that when we return to the division, we can take a boat down the river, enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river, and return to our hometown in a relaxed and comfortable way." The handsome general said to the white-robed priest beside him, who was also riding a horse from the Far East.
The priest wore the Priest's uniform robes, but he wore a silver-plated Sindra emblem around his wrist, and he looked to be less than fifty years old, with a severely degraded hairline and gray temples.
"I don't think it will take that long...... The early activities of the Son of Roland in the north have greatly facilitated our advance, and to tell the truth, I was skeptical when he proposed a march to the north a year ago, and I have been proved wrong, Mr. Rudolph, your son is very good, and his work on the Kitland and the North Sea coast has been very successful. ”
"Do you really think so?" Rudolf Kholas laughed and said, "Looks like Roland's kid is doing a good job." ”
"Very good, Mr. Rudolph, I have parishioners all over the North, and through these old friends I can get more truthful and concrete information than the words published in the local newspapers, and from the day Master Roland ascended the Kitland Plateau, he began to conquer this vast land and the unruly Kitlanders in this land, and the natives were not very enthusiastic about him at first, which is understandable, and you know, the simple-minded northern barbarians with developed limbs have always harbored prejudice against the southerners."
"Haha, you'd better not let Genia hear this." Rudolph said with a smile.
Priest Boris shrugged: "Not counting Lady Yevgenia, of course, she is one of the few shrewd people in Kitland, and besides, didn't she also settle in the south?" It can be seen that the air on the plateau is harmful to human intelligence. ”
"Roland is a clever man, and I know he's a likable, but it's not easy for him to win the approval of almost every Kitlander, but considering he's the luckiest kid in the world, it makes sense."
"Your Excellency, General, I think you have made the mistake that most fathers in the world will make, in the eyes of a father, the son seems to be a mischievous ghost who never grows up, so you will suspect that Young Master Roland's achievements in the north are mainly supported by the goddess of fate, but I must point out that this is not true."
"Tell me what you think is the truth, Mr. Boris, I'm listening."
"My parishioners in the north write me an average of one letter every week, and their concern for Young Master Roland began with the Kitchenland tournament half a year ago, when Lord Beowulf was at a loss due to financial difficulties, and Master Roland helped him solve the financing problem in time, and then helped the venerable legend to re-plan and run the tournament as an advisor, not only earning back all the money previously invested, but also indirectly saving Lord Beowulf's prestige in power, and that's it. Young Master Roland managed to win the trust of Beowulf and Natasha, and became friends with Kitland's rulers. ”
"Roland, this kid is indeed very business-minded, the bonds and stocks he suggested I bought two years ago are now making a lot of money, but this is nothing compared to running a competitive event, since he has such a talent, why didn't he help his family make more money in the first place, and turned his elbow out, what an unfilial son! Yes, the military expenses of the army will be handed over to him to raise in the future, so that Genia will not have to worry about this matter all day long. Rudolph smiled and added a heavy burden to his son, whom he had not yet met.
Pastor Boris was not married, had no children, did not understand the way father and son got along, and worse, he did not know any sense of humor.
"Your Excellency, it is unfair for you to accuse Young Master Roland like this, he had a limited social circle when he was in the army, and he couldn't do anything if he wanted to help you raise military expenses, and he only met many powerful friends during the journey after leaving the army, it is said that there are the crown prince of Parnia, the eldest lady of Lighthouse Mountain, the legendary grand druid of the 'Harvest Ring', and the lord sisters of Baigull Harbor, with such interpersonal relationships, there is room for leverage, looking back, it was really a wise decision for Young Master Roland to leave the legion and go north alone."
"Haha, Boris, have you found it, my son is very feminine, and he can always establish friendly relations with those strong women and daughters who are from prominent backgrounds and even famous parties, compared to this ability, I am far worse as a father, it is strange to say, my mother and I are not the kind of people who are keen on social activities, where did he learn his ability to play on the scene with long sleeves and be good at dancing?" Rudolph shrugged and spread his hands.
"Who knows, but it's also a great talent! Don't you think that such talents are necessary for our cause? Boris asked.
Rudolph smiled but said nothing.
Boris continued: "In fact, in addition to his excellent diplomatic work, Master Roland also won the respect of those Kitland barbarians with his courageous spirit, and led the team to win the championship at the Kitland tournament, which is only the beginning of the many legendary stories I read about him in the letter, assisting Lord Beowulf to destroy the fortress of war, and personally killing the legendary Purgatory Titan Grande, which has been rampant in the Northland for many years, so that his prestige on the plateau reached its peak, and I heard that later he went to the North Bay, Help the Lord of Harbor Lyubov Yamabo eliminate the pirate gang that has entrenched in the North Bay, and I think you will soon receive good news from Harbor Gulls, adding a powerful ally to the Lords of Kitland. ”
