Chapter 18: The Messenger of Phocles
"My lord, the spies reported a few days ago that that group of outcasts had established Half Moon Town. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "General Skuna is reporting to West Germany.
Sidgail casually lay on the lord's seat, and Skuna frowned at it.
"Also, the land in Half Moon Town is basically the kind that is harvested every month, which is not much better than the first few months of our land on the Knife Ridge."
When Sidgail heard this, his eyes flashed green, "Has anyone mastered this technique?" Did your spies talk about hearing from them? ”
"No, the fields they harvested in January were all planted by Wei Xu himself with his guards, and the other fields allocated to the residents were still harvested once a month at the beginning, and now they have slowly changed to harvest every two months like the land on our Daojian Ridge." Skuna bowed his head and did not dare to look at the lord Sidgail.
"Arrange for an envoy to come over and ask them to contribute the method of fertilizing the fields, so that the master will not die around them." Sidgail touched his smooth chin and said......
Half Moon Town.
Outside the town is a wilderness, where the grass grows and the warbler flies in the first planting month (March).
Wei Xu rode a horse and stood still in the wilderness, Wei Chen on his left, a messenger on his right, a phalanx composed of two hundred heavily armored soldiers in front, a phalanx composed of light armored soldiers in the back, twenty-five cavalry on the left and right sides lined up in a line, and the scouts on horseback around him circled around the formation like flies, this was a small goose marching array.
Wei Xu said "forward" to Wei Chen, and Wei Chen, who had a loud voice, acted as a microphone and yelled, "Forward!" ”
In the entire phalanx, not a single person spoke, and even the sound of horses' hooves was uniform. Then Wei Xu said "stop" to Wei Chen, Wei Chen continued to speak, and this phalanx instantly seemed to stand still in time, except for the sand and dust flying in the sky......
Wei Xu raised his hand and clenched it into a fist, and all the scouts behind him stretched their bows and arrows, and "drank" in their mouths. Then Wei Xu's arm swung down violently, and the rain of arrows flew out one after another. Wei Xu raised his hand again, and the rain of arrows stopped abruptly.
I don't know when, Wei Xu's hands pinched a light cluster and released it, and the light ball quickly swept along the cavalry on both wings. The cavalry on both wings, the spear, Napin shouted loudly, "Kill!" Then they struck in the middle of the formation like two door panels, and then crossed each other, and stopped at the position of the cavalry opposite.
Seeing that the cavalry stopped, Wei Xu raised his hand, and a ball of light rose into the sky with a piercing scream.
I only heard everyone shouting "Kill!" Bursts of air fluctuations spread forward, and the roar of five hundred people gathered was much better than the roar of the lame old man at the beginning, and even stronger than it.
This is not the end, after the roar ended, the phalanx of light armored soldiers behind fired three waves of arrows in a row, and then the cavalry on both wings was interspersed with charges back and forth, and then the heavy armored soldiers shouted neatly trumpeted shields and shields step by step like mountains pressed forward, and the entire formation began to advance forward.
Wei Xu waved his hand again, and a fast-flying light cluster hit the ground about thirty or forty meters in front of the heavy armor soldiers, the entire formation suddenly stopped, and the cavalry also stopped charging, and then the heavy armor soldiers took turns to attack the area where the light point was located with crossbow arrows, and the light armor soldiers started another round of shooting......
The high-level people in the surrounding town for a few and a half months had never seen a war like this, but after watching Wei Xu's training several times, they suddenly felt that if they led the troops, even if it was two thousand heavy armored soldiers, they would be reimbursed under the attack of these five hundred people.
Wei Xu asked the captains of each team to lead them away, and he rode his horse slowly back, and the effect of this rehearsal was much better than Wei Xu expected. At least I have the ability to protect myself, and I will no longer be beaten and run away like before.
"My lord, a man who calls himself an envoy of Phocles has arrived at the inn in town and wants you to meet him." Ote greeted him at some point, and said with displeasure on his face.
"Oh? Phocles? The people of West Germany Gael? Wei Xu couldn't help but feel less favorable to this lord he had never met. The envoys sent are all so cranky, then he himself can imagine...... A hill of mink. "Then let him wait, when I'm free." Wei Xu said to Otte.
"Why don't you just send him back to Sorenga?" Ote clenched his fists, and the boy's mother had been involved in the accident in which the Knife Ridge was encircled.
"This kind of person, no, the group of people in Phocles, when they died, they were probably directly taken by the demon god as his subordinates." Wei Xu glanced at Wei Chen, who was already trembling with anger next to him, and said, "Don't worry, we have recorded the lives of those people in the accounts, and sooner or later we will take it back, now we still have a gap in manpower, and it is not enough." ”
Wei Xu had already sent someone to inquire about the deployment of the forces of Phocles, and there was a deployment of a legion stationed in a valley between the Horsgar Mountains and the Eastern Rift Territory, about three thousand people. There are eight wings in the territory of Phocles, and there are two wings closest to Half Moon Town, and one wing is about six hundred people. There is also a thousand defensive forces in the town of Phocles. If you really want to fight, Sidgail will transfer back the guards of the valley or gather all the wings in the territory to pounce together, then there is no strength to resist on his side.
For Wei Xu's indifference, Wei Chen and Ote never held back, the Nord people have never understood what it means to be a gentleman to take revenge, ten years is not too late. However, Wei Xu's prestige is still there, and the two of them have not disobeyed Wei Xu's decision at all.
In this way, the envoy of Phocles was hung there, and the price of the hotel in Half Moon Town was 1 silver for one night, and the envoy who lived for two days and was heartbroken for taking out two silver finally couldn't wait on the third day, and also understood that he was being hung by others.
The envoy thought about how to bribe him to say good things in front of the lord, and while thinking about how to intimidate them into making this group of low-class people obediently hand over everything in Half Moon Town, he walked into a large living room used for meetings in Wei Xu's residence......
There was a cauldron in the living room, and the boiling oil was boiling in it. Wei Xu sat in the first seat wearing a mage robe, Wei Chen, Ihad, Wilcas and Puton stood on the left, and Ott stood alone on the right.
......The door was pushed open, and a man who was as thin as a monkey, only 1.6 meters tall, was already a dwarf in Nord, and was dressed in luxurious clothes. This man is very small, but he still has to make a swaggering appearance, so that everyone can only see two nostrils.
Entering the conference room, the envoy's original stomach of speech was suffocated back into his stomach by the oppressive atmosphere and the boiling cooked oil in the pot.
"Ah, welcome, friend from all the way from Phocles." Wei Xu saw the man come in and spoke.
Seeing Wei Xu speak, the envoy's belly was ready to start popping out again, but Wei Xu didn't wait for him to respond, and said directly:
"Let me tell you an anecdote I have heard on the eastern continent, further east than the island of Southam. Their lords would prop up a cauldron boiling oil in the middle of the chamber against the envoys of the hostile powers, as well as some of the more vicious and uncourteous envoys. Wei Xu pointed to the cauldron in front of the envoy and said, "Well, it's probably that big." ”
The envoy glanced at the boiling cooked oil in the cauldron, and his legs trembled unconsciously. Wei Xu didn't pay attention to him, as if he was taking care of himself, and as if he was continuing to his subordinates: "The lord will order someone to throw the envoy into the oil pot to see God's will, if God lets him live, then he can negotiate the issue next." ”
When the envoy heard this, he still didn't understand! "These demons! They're going to put me in the pan! Thinking of this, I felt a tide under my crotch, and then I was directly frightened and collapsed to the ground.
Wei Xu looked at it here, and the envoy was already so frightened that he collapsed and became incontinent. Wei Xu said in his heart that the ancients did not deceive me, this method is also easy to use, and then motioned to Wei Chen to take him out and not to pee in the conference room. As a result, the guy saw Wei Chen, a big man, walking towards him, and the corners of his mouth were still sneering hideously (at least he thought it was).
This big guy must have been ordered by the devil to throw me in the pan, I can't die here! I don't want to die!! The envoy thought to himself, not knowing where the strength came from, he turned over and ran straight out of the door, and he swore never to return to this hellish place again!
Looking at the envoy who fled from the door, Wei Chen touched his head, he couldn't understand why, could it be that he was really so terrifying just now? Then he turned to look at the rest of the people. Everyone present finally couldn't hold back and laughed.
(ps: Sorengarde in the text is Sovngarde, it is Sovngarde in English, and Bamboo translated it into English as Sorengarde,,,, but it seems that all versions are translated as Sovngarde.) Forgive me)
