Chapter 7 Battle Spirit
After a few days of sunny days, the morning light pushed away the darkness and raised the mountain bag in front of the vine.
The grass shook gently, on the raised hills, outside the tent where they were stationed, the four-horned and long-legged beasts stripped off their fur and roasted on the fire, a young man named Li Ke, smeared with spices, the aroma was tangy, the grease fell into the firewood, and the green smoke made a sizzling sound, and in the round tent not far away, there was a woman's voice speaking.
"We have been fighting with the nobles of this land in the south, and we are getting used to it more and more, but the news from the adventurers on the side of Timinoa is that the army of the northern country has quietly assembled in the north of Kamyhir, and there are as many as fifty northern noble families enlisted, and the army is at least half a hundred thousand......"
In the narration, there was a translator who learned Tetrian to translate what she said into Chinese, Artoria stopped her voice, waiting for the other party to convey the meaning of the words, but the rest of the eyes were looking around, there were several rebel generals who came with her, most of them knew martial arts, magic, and were adventurers who came to take refuge after resisting tyranny and winning the victory.
On the other side, there are the subordinates of the people who came to visit, all of them are burly and strong, sitting there without any etiquette, drinking and eating meat, rough and bold.
Pan Feng, who had a big waist and a round waist, picked up the wine bottle, poured a bowl of wine, leaned over and shook the gold chain around his neck, he raised his face: "You guys also drink it, this is our side, it has been buried in the old cellar for several years, that taste, it's very refreshing!"
The translator was not available, and naturally no one over there understood what he was saying.
Artoria just nodded politely, in response, awkwardly holding the chopsticks, the dish she picked up fell down again, and then, Gongsun Zhi above asked them to change a pair of knives and forks, wiped their mouths in the voice of the translator, and looked over.
"A girl who went from nothing to being able to do this, in my memory, there was such a one, but unfortunately she died later. β
A group of big men who were drinking wine and eating meat stopped, probably understanding who Gongsun Zhi was talking about, and they all fell silent.
Over there, Artoria also seemed to notice the changes in the tent, and after listening to the translator's words, she diverted the topic: "I didn't have what the respected general said, but I just got the guidance of the teacher, and coming here is also the teacher's guidance." β
"Dare to call Your Majesty a general, I'm impatientβ"
The big palm slammed the tabletop, the wine spilled out, Xu Chu stood up, his thick legs almost knocked the table to the ground, and several generals of the rebels on the opposite side were startled, but they also stood up and confronted each other without showing weakness.
Seeing that the fight was about to start, Gongsun Zhi raised his hand and pressed it falsely: "Zhongkang, sit down, she doesn't know, it is estimated that Xia Yi deliberately did not make it clear." β
Only then did the fat figure sit down, pressing his knees and staring at the few people from the other world who just wanted to do something with him: "If it weren't for the disagreement of His Majesty, your head would no longer be on your shoulders today." β
The translator from the station, sweating and looking at both sides, this sentence, he naturally didn't dare to say to the other side, not because he was afraid, but because of the relationship he had established, if it was broken, he would only be held accountable in the end.
At this time, Li Ke outside the tent took the roasted meat in and distributed it to everyone present, Gongsun Zhi cut a slice and ate it into his mouth, chewing it a few times: "It tastes good, this is a beast?"
"It's Sibres, a herbivorous beast that is not aggressive. "Artoria also tasted a few bites, like this kind of food, you can't eat it at all when you are a slave, and after the rebels rise to strength, they only eat occasionally, after all, so many people need to eat, she opens a small stove by herself, it is easy to be criticized, and the prestige that she has worked so hard to build will be lost.
"It's about the same as our sheep, but the meat is quite tender, and there is plenty of oil and water. β
The generals in the tent discussed which one was delicious, and Gongsun Zhi put down the knife for cutting meat, "By the way, why didn't your teacher come here in person?
"Honorable General, my teacher is at the Al-Aqsa Volcano in the easternmost part of the Southern Continent, and he has gathered a group of limestone dwarves, from where I came before coming here. β
Artoria was still worried about the army of the northern country going south, and she was about to speak again, but was interrupted by the first Gongsun Zhi: "He is idle, gathering a group of dwarves, and wants to forge good weapons?"
Immediately, he turned his head and looked at the generals around him.
"In the future, you go to Xia Yi, change all the weapons in your hands, and get a batch of divine weapons. β
Inside the tent, the generals burst into laughter, even thinking about the wording.
"Honorable General, the army of the northern kingdom will soon be heading south, and my teacher has guided me here in the hope of getting support from you, and he says that you have an unrivaled army in your hands. β
Artoria didn't want to delay any longer, put down her knife and fork, and her face became a little anxious, but the group of people on the other side didn't seem to take this situation as a serious matter, and still drank wine and ate meat, talking about how to get weapons from Xia Yi.
"General.....
Gongsun Zhikan nodded, "I already know about this matter." β
"General, the teacher said you would take care of it, but Artoria couldn't see any seriousness in your eyes. Artoria stood up, her fists clenched and released, "The enemy is estimated to be half a hundred thousand, and there are many mages and priests among them, our chances of victory are very slim..... I beg you to help us, there are still many slaves living in oppression on this continent, they need to be free, to be rescued by us, the teacher said, only you can do it." β
These words caused everyone in the tent to shout, and Dian Wei's arms stretched out and pressed them on the table: "Your Majesty said that you already know." β
"Yes, I already know. β
Gongsun Zhi tapped his fingers lightly on the table, made a gesture of retreat, and said in an indifferent tone: "Let's talk about it here, when the 500,000 troops you said go south and pass through that Noah's place, I will help you." β
The translator conveys the words to the past.
Artoria looked at him in silence, stepped out of her seat, stood in the middle of the tent, and bowed: "On behalf of my compatriots, Artoria thank you. β
"You are Xia Yi's student, so you don't have to be so polite. β
"Then I'll go back with my people first. β
Soon after, the maiden and the others who had come with her came out of the tent standing alone on the hill, and someone said behind her, "They don't seem to want to help us." β
There are also voices talking.
"I think these otherworldly people are scared, half a million ...... Are there so many of them?"
The sound of your words accompanied the group down the hill, turned over on their mounts, and the breeze swept through the girl's hair, and Artoria looked at the flag with the white wolf on it, and then withdrew her gaze, pulled the reins, and turned away.
"Don't put your hopes on others, although 500,000 is more, will we retreat? We can't be like those cowards, who only know how to drink wine and eat meat, and pretend to be fierce. β
As he left, his voice grew louder and filled with anger.
"My people, I'll protect it myselfβ"
The sound echoed in the wind, and it gradually became faint in the distance, and then disappeared, on the hill, the cloak rolled behind the person, and Gongsun Zhi, who was dressed in military uniform, looked at the girl and his party galloping away below.
"It's an acute child, just like Stephanie. β
Li Ke frowned slightly: "Your Majesty." β
"Don't be that nervous, just remember. Gongsun Zhi waved his hand and said with a smile: "I still have to help with what Xia Yi entrusted, but I won't let my soldiers take the lead, let these people from the other world suffer a little first, and by the way, observe the fighting style of the other world army, how is it different from us, it is estimated that Sour Ru will not agree to this approach here, and he is very soft-hearted, fortunately he didn't bring him." β
The words stopped, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly turned his head.
"Li Ke, is there any news from Bai Ning?"
"No, when they came here, they left one or two people at the station, and the others were gone. The young man named Li Ke replied with a mace, turned around and saw Hua Xiong basking in the sun not far away, so he called him over.
"What's the matter?"
Hua Xiong glanced at the mace in his hand, subconsciously avoided it, stood on the right side of Gongsun Zhi, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty." β
"You go and inform Wen Hou and Zilong that they are coming back and are going to fight. β
"Yes!"
He turned away, went down and rode his motorcycle, put on his sunglasses, lit a cigar to his mouth, took a puff, and slammed the accelerator out, rolling up a long cigarette.
"Bai Ning has always been resourceful, and he may have been aware of the affairs of the northern country a long time ago......" Gongsun Zhi looked at Hua Xiong, who was ordered to leave, turned into a black spot at the end of his vision, and turned his eyes to look at Li Ke: "There is an emperor in the north, right?"
"I guess there is. β
Probably with the idea of competing with Bai Ning, Gongsun Zhi sketched a smile on the corner of his mouth, turned around suddenly, his cloak was raised, and he spoke: "Han Long." β
The morning light shone through the shadows of the tent, and a voice sounded in time: "In." β
"Grab ahead of Bai Ning and bring the head of the emperor of the northern country. β
"The subordinates have been waiting for a long time. β
Gongsun Zhi crossed the shadow, walked straight into the big tent, sat back from the sight of the generals on both sides, and slapped his big palm on his knee: "Point the troops and horses, and attack head-on." β
"Yesβ"
The figures who were eating meat and drinking wine showed a momentum that was very different from before, and they stood up with a bang and slapped their armor.
"But ....."
Gongsun Zhi leaned back and rubbed his chin with his thick short beard: "..... can't push too fast, it's hard to have a fight, don't break people down in one breath, it's not interesting in the back, do you understand?"
"Understood!"
"Guaranteed to make that half a million rabble feel like the elite!"
"That shouldn't make them feel like they're elite too much. β
"I have an idea, let's lose a few battles first, let them be proud, and then run over them directly in one breath....." Pan Feng raised and shouted.
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed and discussed the details of the battle that followed, and at the same time, in the corresponding south, across a plain, a Gobi, and dense forests, the reclaimed garrison was still expanding outward.
The goblin helper pulled the stump out of the ground with a slogan in his mouth, and under the command of a similar patriarch, pulled into the gate of the station, extending along the road ahead, and between the fields of view was a huge airship docked.
Safety officers are injecting buoyancy gas into the hull, inspecting the pods, auxiliary airbags, air valves, fans, ..... open aft doors, and several inspection staff are handing over the recorded data to their colleagues at the station for safekeeping.
Nearby, Jiang Yu was wearing long pants, a dark red long-sleeved women's suit, and an ear-length hairstyle, looking much more capable, and reported what he observed in the air one by one.
"From Al-Aqsa Volcano, on the way we will pass through seven cities of otherworldly people, from above, they are all small cities, compared to other flight routes, where we passed today, the airflow fluctuations are much smaller than those of previous days, and there are no big mountains and valleys around, which is very suitable for flight routes......"
It was almost noon, when Jiang Yu finished reporting work, Xu Qiuhua and the others had already come back by car, and as soon as they got out of the car, they ran to this side, looking at their daughter carefully, "Test the route, someone will do it, aren't you here to play, how did you do this, what if....what if there is a case?!"
Jiang Jiancheng stomped his feet angrily and pulled up his daughter: "Simply, let's go back, nothing is perfect here, if there are three long and two short, how can I live." β
"It's okay Dad, I'm just so bored that I want to come over and find something to do. β
Jiang Yu pulled Jiang Jiancheng's sleeve and shook it twice: "Just stay, there is no danger, and besides, I still have something to save my life." β
"What's that?"
In front of the others, Jiang Yu smiled sweetly, revealing her beautiful dimples, she held a bag of things in her hand, and shook it lightly a few times, and she could hear the sound of rustling inside, like gravel.
"It's redstone particles inside..... Brother Yi said, if you encounter danger, open it, pour it out, there will be a replica to help me, the replica is also very powerful!"
Guo Manyuan opened his mouth, stared at the bag, and muttered, "I want one too." β
"I want it too....." Keiko smiled beside her and agreed.
Beside him, Shingo tugged at the corner of the woman's clothes, "Mom, that big guy, can we sit?"
Looking at the airship pointed out by the child, when Jiang Yu flew to the island country, he learned some island dialects, and he could probably understand some of them, so after thinking about it, he simply said: "Or, early tomorrow morning, let's set off together to go to Al-Aqsa Volcano to see Brother Yi, and oh, it is very beautiful to see below from the sky, and you can take a few more photos when the time comes." β
Everyone thought about it for a while, and finally accepted this suggestion, they had taken the plane, and the opportunity to take the airship was very difficult, and then there was a replica sent by Xia Yi as a safety guarantee, and the group was inevitably a little shaky.
Jiang Yu stood there, looking at his relatives and friends who were laughing and playing, with confidence and pride in his eyes, making such a decision and flying into the blue sky with a group of close people, although it was not too safe, but it would not be a big problem to think about it.
"I'm Xia Yi's woman, and I have to make decisions when I do things!"
Thinking hesitantly, he clenched his little fists.
