Chapter 112: Reinforcements Depart
After reading the letter of request for help from Rococo and the others, the supreme military governor of the Free Federation Fortress did not hesitate and accepted the request for assistance from the Holy City.
If it was a global reinforcement sent, as a military fortress commander, he naturally had no right to agree, but this time the Holy City's request for assistance was simply hoping that they could send some troops that were not too large but threatening enough to roam around the periphery of Bekaz's undead encirclement against the Holy City, and play a certain deterrent effect, which ordered the commander to still be able to make his own decisions.
In the end, the military commander told Rococo that they would spend tonight preparing for deployment and logistics, and then send reinforcements early tomorrow morning.
Although I don't know if this is really required by the internal regulations of the federal army, or if the game system deliberately intervenes in the rules to cooperate with the players in their missions, but in short, this arrangement is just right for Rococo and others, so that they can safely go offline inside the fortress at night, and then set off with the reinforcements sent by the federal fortress the next day.
There was nothing to say all night, although Rococo, dressed as a village girl, looked a little out of place in such a solemn border fortress (although a godhead fragment has been harvested, but because Rococo's personal plot as an NPC character has never been opened, Rococo's NPC mode is still an ordinary village girl when the original goblin mode is not forcibly opened through the godhead fragment), but fortunately, there are no players in the fortress at night, and no one will doubt how she, a village girl with a different painting style, can appear here.
Early the next morning, Rococo, who had turned back into a player, gathered with Chu Jiajia and the plant team in the fortress, and then ran directly to the gate of the fortress to wait for reinforcements from the Federation.
In less than a few minutes, a well-groomed-looking army arrived at the gates, led by an officer who was not the supreme commander who had received their letter from Rococo yesterday, but his first lieutenant. Due to the trust of the Supreme Governor, this lieutenant is second only to the Supreme Governor in the fortress in terms of actual authority, and in fact he is indeed not the kind of parallel commodity who only relies on flattery to flatter the superiors, whether it is loyalty or ability, it can be reassured, but perhaps due to the fact that he was born on the border and witnessed the long war between the Federation and the Empire on the front line since he was a child, this lieutenant's attitude towards the Empire is often a little too tough.
In times of war, this adjutant's tough attitude towards the Empire may have made him quickly grow into a reliable general on the battlefield, but now, after seeing that it was this benevolent brother who led the team, Rococo only felt a headache, and only felt that the difficulty of preventing the Empire and the Federation from breaking out a war in advance because of this incident may have increased passively.
Naturally, the NPC adjutant will not and cannot know about Rococo's slander against him, the leading general, because this adjutant happened to be on the side when Rococo handed over the letter to the supreme commander yesterday, so the other party recognized these adventurers at a glance after seeing Rococo and them.
"Respected adventurer, our army has been assembled and is preparing to go to the boundary of the Holy City according to the agreement with the Goddess of Creation Sect, and yesterday you seem to have said that you would set off with us?"
When the army reached the gates, the adjutant told the vanguard to go first, while he stopped his horse to greet the Rococo.
The game's mount system is available by the time players reach level 30, but the Rococo and their sisters have been busy farming for Faith Points around the Holy City lately, so they don't have their own mounts yet. Although this lieutenant was very ruthless in the face of the Imperials, he was not a difficult person to talk to, because Rococo and the others were also messengers from the Holy City, so he offered to lend Rococo and them a few horses to ride.
Except for Chu Jiajia and Sunflower, who were a little worried about riding horses, the rest of the people agreed with this proposal, so soon, the Rococo team rode horses and returned to the position of the team's forward with the adjutant.
"Wow~"
The steel thorn rode on the side of the team, obviously for him who did not have his own mount, galloping on the plain on a horse was quite a good experience, and surprisingly the high nut, who had always been quiet and gave a sense of calmness, also galloped with him, although not as exaggerated as the steel thorn, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was in high spirits.
"Hoo ......"
Looking at such a tall nut, Sunflower, who is usually inseparable from this tall shield warrior and abuses dogs everywhere, pouted, as if she was eating inexplicable vinegar, but it is a pity that no one noticed the rare little daughter posture of this gentle and dignified big sister, and Xingguo, who was riding the same horse with her, was busy laughing at the cold archer who was a little helpless on the horse, although the man with glasses said at the beginning that it was absolutely okay to ride a horse alone, But in reality, he really doesn't seem to be as talented in this area as Steelspike and Tall Nut.
On the other hand, Rococo rode the same horse with the two of her because Chu Jiajia was not confident in riding, although this was not the first time she had ridden a horse, but for some reason, feeling the softness behind Chu Jiajia who seemed to be hugging her because she was afraid, Rococo felt that her body was much stiffer than when she rode a horse for the first time.
And what's even worse is that when they are usually together, the two naturally talk about a lot of things, but for some reason, after riding together on the same horse, both Rococo and Chu Jiajia have significantly fewer words, and the atmosphere makes Rococo feel a little inexplicably embarrassed.
"Uh, it won't be very bumpy, will it?"
“…… Well, Coco rides very steadily, not bumpy at all. ”
After a question and an answer, the two fell into silence again, Luo Coco couldn't see what Chu Jiajia's expression was now, she could only try to keep herself from paying attention to the soft touch of the girl's body behind her, and try to keep her horse moving forward steadily.
“…… The smell of cocoa, so good......"
Suddenly, such a soft sigh came from behind Rococo, and at the same time, she felt as if Chu Jiajia not only leaned over, but also seemed to put her face on her back.
Luo Coco felt that her head was a little broken at this moment, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but she just smelled the girlish fragrance on Chu Jiajia's body coming from behind her, and subconsciously spoke.
“…… Uh-huh, Jiajia you smell good too......"
After speaking, Luo Coco woke up to what she had just said, and her face suddenly turned red, I don't know if it was her illusion, she felt that the temperature of the place where Chu Jiajia's little face was attached to it also rose sharply at this moment.
Oh my God, what did she just say...... Doesn't it sound like those lascivious daddy lines for girls when they're drunk......
"Coco, this idiot......"
"Huh? Jiajia, what do you say? ”
For a moment, Rococo seemed to hear Chu Jiajia say something behind her back.
“…… It's nothing, but you heard it wrong. ”
"Oh."
Then, there was silence again, but Chu Jiajia hugged Luo Coco's arm inconspicuously harder, and Luo Coco's mood became more erratic, she felt as if she looked back at Chu Jiajia's face, but at the same time, after thinking that this would make Chu Jiajia also see her face, she strangely produced a kind of shame that even she couldn't understand.
"Huh? Jiajia, are you not feeling well? ”
In an instant, Rococo felt that the warm touch from Chu Jiajia's face behind him disappeared, and obviously the swordsman girl straightened up.
"No, no. It's just the first time riding a horse, and I'm just a little uneasy. ”
Sunflower, who got this answer, tilted her head, and was about to ask, "But you and Coco's faces look a little red", but she was interrupted by Xingguo sitting in front of her.
"Jiajia, you don't have to worry, I think Coco rides a horse quite well, much better than this guy next to me."
The topic was suddenly crooked by Xingxingguo, and Sunflower's attention was also attracted by a new round of quarrels between Xingxingguo and the Ice Shooter, and where the three of them didn't see it, Rococo and Chu Jiajia each breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The two of them didn't understand what the previous mood was until now, but there was one thing that the two of them thought of together...... Although it is certain that it is not a bad thing to be ashamed of, I don't know why I just don't want to be known by others, at least...... Don't want to be known to anyone other than her until someone (the little fool) knows.
The group walked peacefully for a short distance, and along the way, apart from a few undead monsters roaming alone, the reinforcements from the Free Federation Frontier Fortress did not encounter a large horde of undead creatures, but just as they were about to reach the first village on the march route - where they expected the first real battle against the mass undead group - suddenly a group of enemies they had not expected appeared.
It was a band of plague raiders, numbering about twenty or thirty, who had gathered on a flat ground and made a constant disgusting chewing sound around a pile of stinking livestock carcasses. After the vanguard of the Federation army spotted them, the plague raiders let out a terrible roar at the Union army, but they did not pounce directly on the Rococo team as they had done before, as if they were afraid of the strong force of the Union army.
Wait, how could these plague raiders have such a "jealous" mentality?
Just when Rococo and the others saw that these plague raiders did not attack at the first time, they felt a little strange, and suddenly heard a sharp whistle coming from the dirt slope on the side of the plain, and everyone found that on that dirt slope, a knight riding a bone horse wearing white bone armor with a turquoise pattern was there, holding a white bone spear in his hand as if he was giving orders to the plague raiders.
Death Knight, a typical high-level undead who is more advanced than the Plague Raider, and judging from the outfit of this Death Knight, it is obvious that the Death Knight under Bekaz has added a lot of bonuses related to the plague element in addition to the inherent attributes of the class.
The next moment, under the summons of this sudden appearance of the Death Knight, this group of plague raiders actually ignored the troops of the Free Federation at all, and directly turned around and ran in the direction of the Death Knight.
Are they going to run away?
