Chapter 879: Legion from the South (II.)

"I think you'll soon receive good news from White Gull Harbor, adding a powerful ally to the Kitland Lord and his wife. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" said Pastor Boris firmly.

Rudolph smiled and nodded, "In fact, I have already received that good news, Roland's activities in the North Bay have achieved amazing results, not only helping us win the friendship of the city-states of the Bend Alliance, but also gaining the possession of an important island near the strait into the Meteorite Ocean...... Haha, I'm still working as a soldier for others, and I don't have a foothold, my son has become a dignified lord, it's really ashamed to say it. ”

"Your Excellency, you won't be jealous of your son, will you?" Pastor Boris's face was grim, "Everything Master Roland does is to help you realize your ideals and accomplish our common cause. ”

"Boris, you're such a boring guy!" Rudolph glared at the priest angrily, "Of course I'm not jealous of my son, just a little ...... Hehe, a little stress, just a little bit. ”

"I'm relieved if you think so, do you still want to hear more about Young Master Roland?"

"Of course, I'd like to go on vacation to my son's island after this damn war, which is said to be a great place for fishing!"

"Young Master wrote to you recently?"

"We communicate almost every day."

"Then you want me to tell me about him!"

"My son inherited the virtues of his parents and never boasted about himself in letters, you probably can't imagine how humble this child is, and he would love to write to me in the third person, which is disgusting! Boris, tell me a little more about my son, you know I love to hear this......"

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion from the rear. Rudolph reined in the reins and looked back in the direction of the unusual movement. The 10,000-strong army is crossing the mountains and mountains, like a long python, with no end in sight. The accident was met by the baggage team at the end of the march, and Rudolph frowned, his face becoming extremely gloomy.

"Boris, you lead the troops onward, I'll go over and take a look."

"I'd better go with you, or simply order the troops to pause their march." The pastor said uneasily.

"There's no need for that, it's probably the goblins who are making trouble again, and those stinky idiots think they're going to get a good deal from us, it's time to teach them a lesson."

Rudolph gave a few words to the priest Boris, and then galloped down the hillside, and when he was about to reach the baggage team, two high-ranking black guards riding purgatory horses caught up.

"Alyosha, Pasha, how's the situation going?" Rudolph asked loudly.

The two high-ranking generals of the Kolath Legion came to their general's side, their faces helpless.

"It's the same hateful goblins, this time they've learned wisely, and they burst out of the roadside potholes and attack the cavalry guarding the baggage with javelins and inferior crossbows, trying to divert the convoy away, while another group of goblins goes around and loots the ordnance and food." Colonel Alexey replied.

"Did they succeed?" Rudolph asked.

"Of course not, Mage Merlin and his apprentices were resting in the van, entertaining the self-righteous bastards with fireballs and lightning, and they caught nothing, leaving their bodies behind and fleeing." Colonel Pavel briefly recounted the course of the conflict.

"With the intelligence and organizational level of the goblins, it is really surprising that they can use the tactics of attacking the east and west, this matter is probably not as simple as it seems, I want to talk to Mage Merlin, and you two will come with me."

Rudolph urged his horse to gallop, and the two colonels followed, and in a short time came to the baggage team. Blood was still stained on the muddy mountain road, and several wounded warriors were being treated, all seemingly insignificant flesh wounds, and the only victim of the ambush was a Highland Lothmon. The poor big creature was unlucky enough to be shot in the left eye with a poisoned javelin, the head of which wounded the intracranial tissue, and Rudolph had just stopped breathing when he arrived. The hill of corpses was surrounded by a crowd of people, one of whom was an old man in a gray robe with an ebony staff and a wizard's hat, and a fat man dressed as a merchant caught Rudolph's attention, not only because of his striking rosacea and bare head, but also because he looked particularly depressed.

"Damn! Damn it! This is already the ninth Lothmon, and I have lost a tenth of all cattle in just two days, Master Mage, can't you find a way to completely deal with those abominable goblins? ”

"I sympathize with your plight, dear Mr. Mikhail, and I will relay your request to Lord Rudolph, but I don't think it's worth the delay for the sake of those goblins." The old mage shook his head and said.

"Not worth it? Oh my God, I can't believe you would say such a rash thing! If you leave those goblins alone, you'll soon find that there aren't enough Lothmon towing vehicles, and unless you can cast a spell to teleport this heavy piece of gear directly to Kitland, it's not just a matter of delaying a day or two. The bald merchant shouted excitedly.

"Good morning, old Merlin, would you like to introduce this gentleman to me?" Rudolph rolled over and jumped off his horse, handing the reins to one of the guards who met him.

"Good morning, Lord Rudolph." The old mage pushed the brim of his hat and bowed slightly to Rudolph, "This Mr. Mikhail is a well-known grain wholesaler in the Kitland region, and one hundred Highlos beasts are his property among the cattle we rent, and unfortunately Mr. Mikhail has lost part of his property due to my mistake. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the logistics department has rented a total of three hundred Highland Loomons, one hundred of which belong to the Dwarven Lord Bratu of Icewind Dale, and two hundred are provided by the druids of the 'Harvest Ring', what about this Mikhail's property?" Rudolph asked in surprise.

"Oh, honorable General, I have finally seen you in person!" Mikhail excitedly leaned over and tried to hug Rudolph, but Pavel and Alexei held him by the shoulders left and right, keeping him out of the cordon.

"Aha? I'm sorry, please forgive me for my presumptuousness, I'm so glad to meet you in person! ”

Rudolph waved his hand, motioned for the two lieutenants to let go of Mikhail, walked over and took the initiative to shake his hand: "What is there to be happy about seeing me?" ”

"You probably don't know yet, I'm a good friend of Ling Gongzi, Mr. Roland met me on a trip to Kitland half a year ago, and we went through a lot of things together, ah, that's a long story."
