Chapter 183 Letters
"It's Horn." John said, "Didn't he follow Harvey in Tucheng, why did he come here?" ”
Ma Long shook his head, he didn't know much about this matter, but it was definitely not a trivial matter to let a team of knights come from thousands of miles away.
When a few others rushed to the Knights, Horn shouted, "Lord Lord! ”
"Why are you here?" Malone asked.
Horn is the father of the young wizard Angela, who was also a soldier in the Blackstone Collar before retiring due to disability.
Angela was cured when she awakened as a wizard, and he re-entered the army, becoming a knight after intense battles.
Under the nobility of his father and daughter, plus he has some ability, he became a leader in the army.
Marlon Shuaijun pursued the barbarians, he did not follow, but stationed in Tucheng, and somehow came here at this time?
"I'm here to deliver a letter." Horn looked haggard and embarrassed, and when he got closer, there was a strong smell of rancidness on his body!
Obviously, the matter was urgent, he came all the way, slept in the open air, had little time to rest, and while speaking, he took out a cow bone letterbox from his bosom and handed it over.
Malone took it, held it with both hands, opened the letterbox, and took out a letter from it.
With a shake of his hand, he unfolded it, and he looked at it carefully.
"What's wrong?" John asked from the side.
Marlon handed him the letter and said in a deep voice, "The orcs have attacked ......"
Back at the Zero Hour camp, Malone directly led everyone into the big tent.
When traveling with a large army, there needs to be sufficient logistics.
The Knights have thousands of combatants, as well as a considerable number of non-war personnel.
Responsible for logistics and transportation, tent erection, fire cooking, etc.
This makeshift camp is their latest ......
"That's ...... The matter was urgent, so I arranged it directly. Malone looked around and saw that no one had any other opinions.
"I'll ride the red rabbit first, John, you take the army back as planned, and the amount of progress will speed up."
"But......" John tried to say, but was interrupted by Malone waving his hand.
"I know what you're thinking! Don't worry, this time the situation is different, I will definitely only make preliminary preparations before the Knights go back, and will not act. ”
Nodding, John said helplessly: "Okay then, be careful!" ”
"Hmm......" Ma Long replied lightly and sighed: "I thought that by cleaning up the barbarians on the south bank of the Gelong River, the entire northern frontier would become a three-legged situation of humans, dwarves, and barbarians, and I could calm down for a while, but I didn't expect that as soon as this side settled down, the orcs over there went wrong again!" ”
"I wonder how the kingdom has prepared all these years? And the nobles of the south! John said angrily, "They were all beaten to Los Angeles so quickly!" ”
No wonder John was so angry, Los Angeles, as the county seat of the Southern County, is the largest city in the South, and there are still a large number of human settlements to the south, and the result of this is not known.
Ma Long also looked solemn, "I'm afraid it's not just that, the letter said that Los Angeles was being attacked when the letter was delivered, and the news they received, now that it has been so long, I don't know where it was beaten!" ”
"These guys are really useless......"
"Okay, there's no point in talking about this now, let's prepare early, you can rest and leave early tomorrow morning." Malone commanded.
"What about you?"
"I'll be gone in a moment......"
"Driving ......"
Ma Long sat on the red rabbit and galloped all the way in the direction of Tucheng.
When they went out, the army went together, chasing the barbarians all the way, running from place to place, and it took nearly three months to reach the boundary of the snow-capped mountains.
When he came back, Ma Long rode alone, the speed of Chitu was unparalleled, and one person and one horse were all energetic people, in order to hurry, day and night, it didn't take ten days to be only a hundred miles away from Tucheng.
Here, Malone was already able to see herds of cattle, sheep and horses, occasionally dotted with a few tents.
That's the herdsmen of the Black Stone Collar grazing!
"Mom, Mom, I see the lord." A child who was held in his mother's arms shouted: "There is also a red rabbit horse that is unique in ten thousand......"
"What nonsense? Lord is so busy, how can he have time to come here? The mother patted the child's buttocks, apparently not believing.
"Turn your head and look, it's going to be gone soon!" Seeing that his mother did not believe him, the child stretched out his hand and pointed behind her, and shouted anxiously.
The mother did hear a movement in the distance, and when she saw the child's excited appearance, she wondered in her heart, could it really be the lord?
Looking back, there was no sign of a lord, and I saw a trail of smoke and dust on the road in the distance. Like a tornado in the sky, a large group of cavalry seems to pass through.
But just now I obviously didn't hear the sound of a large army passing, although the distance here is far away, the sound of one or two horses cannot be heard, but the cavalry of the brigade will not be missed.
Could it really be that the lord has returned?
The mother knows that her child's eyesight is different from ordinary people, and he can see things in the distance, maybe the lord has returned?
Then my own man should be fast!
But why did the lord come back alone, is there something wrong?
Not far from Tucheng, Ma Long asked Chitu to slow down, looking at the cattle and sheep herdsmen along the way, gathering places, and a sense of satisfaction spontaneously arose in his heart!
In recent years, Tucheng has developed rapidly, humans have become grain merchants, dwarves supply arms, and barbarians produce raw materials, forming a complete industrial chain.
The surrounding area of Tucheng is a paradise for herdsmen, where the sky is high and the earth is wide, the water and grass are fertile, and it is a rare excellent pasture.
Almost all of the herdsmen in Blackstone City have migrated here, and there are also new arrivals from other places, which not only provide a large amount of meat and food for the entire Blackstone Territory, but also a large number of fine war horses.
The excellent war horse Blackstone can be digested internally, and the inferior ones can also be sold to the south through the caravans.
Ma Long rode his horse through the West Gate, where there were few people, and most of the herdsmen came in and out.
His appearance caused a chain reaction.
"Your Lord!"
While everyone avoided it, they greeted each other.
The tone is sincere and grateful.
Thank you to the lords for giving them a good day now!
Avoidance is not a fear, but a desire not to delay the lord's precious time.
Malone smiled and nodded in greeting.
The same is true of the streets along the way.
There are newcomers from other places who are not clear, so they are pulled aside by people close to them to educate them......
"He's Marlon?"
"yes!"
"It's the Black Stone Lord, the First Paladin, the Dragon Slayer, the Barbarian King, the Hunter...... The so-called Lord of Blackstone? ”
"Yes!"
"Shhh...... You're so young, younger than my son......"
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back ......of the head by his companion, "Is this something your son can compare?" If someone from the Black Stone Collar hears about it, they'll have to beat you up! ”
Seeing that the people around heard the movement here, they all looked over, and the newcomer couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're right, thank you for reminding me, I'll invite today's wine, Dwarf Tavern." ”
"That's pretty much it!" The companion was satisfied: "But what you said is right, it is indeed young, it is said that he is only twenty-six years old this year......
