Chapter 0066: Surrender

Thirty minutes is a very short time, not long after calming the calm Madeleine, it is time to set off for the army again, although it is free for Wu Hao to go wherever he wants, and Ethan Lien does not stipulate the deadline for arriving at the army, but Wu Hao still shortens the travel time as much as possible.

It's unsafe on the road.

The orc war has indeed been victorious, the main force of the kingdom army in the past two years has returned, and the remnants of the orcs have indeed achieved great results, but there are still a lot of orcs who are hiding, wandering in the depths of the mountains and dense forests, and from time to time come out to burn and loot civilian travelers, only ten first-generation paladins of the team, it is really tragic to encounter the remnants of the orcs.

In addition, the power of defectors is also a force to be reckoned with.

The oppression and hostility between the nobles and commoners of the Lordaeron Kingdom has a long history, and it is not without the noble lords who rule the territory with mercy, and there are many great nobles in history who treat the people under their rule as equally as possible, but as long as it is not a class group, the most fundamental relationship of oppression and exploitation between each other cannot completely disappear.

The whole society is such a system from top to bottom, and it is definitely not something that can be changed by a few noble lords.

Kind nobles don't have to exploit commoners, and they can let the commoners live happily and freely, but if all the commoners in the territory are in such a state, then where will the annual royal tribute be obtained? Where can I get the army's money and logistics materials to ensure the security and stability of the territory? Where can I get the food reserves that are gradually stored in the event of natural disasters, diseases and plagues?

Produced by the nobility themselves?

Or is it expected that civilians will spontaneously respond to donations?

Even Madeleine, a helpless orphan, can be regarded as a relatively intelligent woman, on the premise of knowing that she was able to avoid her miserable doom because of Wu Hao, because of the gentle forbearance she has always had with her, kicking her nose and ignoring her status and openly throwing her face, embarrassing the new sages of the same level as the king, can you expect other commoners to be more conscious?

No way!

There are no rules, even if the so-called rules are very ruthless for some people.

There have been many nobles in history, and they soon disappeared in the private struggle for power of the nobles and the riots of the commoners under their rule because of the disharmony with the world, and the whole family died out because of the kindness of the people in charge, and became the negative teaching material for each aristocratic family to educate the next generation of children.

The defector forces that are now active in the Tirisfal Glades have reached a point where they must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Defector is a synonym that generally refers to the people who, for various reasons, take the initiative, are forced, or even framed, wander the kingdom to loot and kill others for a living, and form a certain group of people driven by interests, to a certain extent, much like those adventurers who are only loyal to their personal interests and have no position to speak of.

In fact, there is an essential difference between the two.

Although adventurers have always been disdained by the middle and lower class peoples, they are actually legal organizations recognized by each kingdom, and will not participate in private battles between nobles, or directly cause harm to the commoner nobles within the kingdom, most of them wander in the chaotic areas at the junction of the kingdom's territory, and act according to the tasks received by the adventurers' union.

Loyalty to gold coins is also a form of loyalty.

There are also rules in the world of adventurers, that is, the must complete the task, on the surface, the adventurer group seems to be a potential hidden danger, in fact, the ruling class of each kingdom, privately acquiesced or directly supported the establishment of the adventurer's union, any adventurer who violates the principle of unconditional completion of the task, is no longer an adventurer but a defector, will be wanted by the adventurer's union.

Any perfect system is built on violence.

"Only a complete breakdown of order can destroy this class system." Wu Hao concluded.

The team that re-entered the road galloped on the grassland, and Wu Hao, who was leading the ride at the front, reflected on his behavior and corrected his ideal plan for achieving his future goals, while habitually swimming on Madeleine's body with one hand.

That's right.

Madeleine and Wu Hao rode together.

It's also very dramatic to say, as a mid-level 4 hunter, Madeleine doesn't know how to ride.

There are many types of horses in this world, and the war horses that can be carried for a long time are valuables that need to be properly cared for, just take the ordinary war horse that Wu Hao is riding now, the purchase price is only five gold coins, and the annual expenditure on feeding, taking care of, and maintaining health and vitality will cost 100 gold coins.

It's just the most ordinary war horse.

It is a ride item that will wear out after a certain amount of time and must be replaced.

Moreover, the expensive consumables of war horses, according to the advantages and disadvantages of the breed, can serve for different years, but even the most precious and rare breeds, the legendary mounts comparable to the ability of low-level professionals, the longest riding period will not exceed 20 years, and long-term high-intensity combat will greatly shorten the service period of war horses.

"It's all about eating gold beasts!" Wu Hao was shocked when he first learned this.

That is, the Holy Light Brotherhood, whose members are all over every kingdom in the Eastern Continent, and the huge organization of nobles and lords can easily support a large number of military horses, even the King's Academy does not have a training ground for cavalry, and it is even more difficult for the civilian academy to see a war horse.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that there is no professional like 'knight' in this world.

Most of the main forces used in the war are infantry that rely entirely on the march of two legs, and only a very small number of elite soldiers, as well as high-ranking officers and precious groups of high-ranking professionals, are eligible to enjoy their own horses in the battle array, and the number of large armies remains fixed at the same time, also because there is not enough money to support the expansion.

The situation was similar for the private armies of the nobles everywhere, and the number of cavalry was very small.

On the other hand, Madeleine is a shooting hunter.

A mere war horse is nothing to Wu Hao, if Madeleine is a beastmaster hunter, the natural affinity for beasts, birds, mosquitoes, and insects can allow a beast king hunter to ride any creature very quickly in a short time, although Wu Hao has never been involved in the knowledge of the beastmaster hunter, but because of the strange ability to almost communicate with wild creatures, he can control the war horse freely in one day.

"It's awkward, the war horse will feel very tired." Walking Wu Hao said suddenly.

"No... Sages. Madeleine gasped with a slightly red face.

"Huh?" Wu Hao's swimming hand squeezed lightly: "What are you calling me?" ”

"Ahh William. ”

"Well, don't make a mistake." Wu Hao's eyes were usually ahead, and while he was commanding, one hand continued to slowly swim in Madeleine's clothes, and the huntress sat in front of him, and her height was shorter than him, and she was eaten tofu and leaned weakly on his arms along the way: "The identity of the sage is top secret, if it is exposed, you will be killed by the royal family." ”

Hearing this, Madeleine's face turned pale with fright, and she repeated in her heart that she was afraid that she would make a mistake again.

Glancing at the trembling woman from the corner of his eyes, Wu Hao secretly felt very funny, the so-called killing by the royal family was of course just to scare Madeleine, since it was his own woman, of course it was impossible to be disposed of by others at will, otherwise wouldn't his new sage be too useless? As for eating tofu for Madeleine?

It's all your own woman, is eating tofu considered bullying?

Four more days have passed since he got back on the road, and after Wu Hao has thought about it carefully, he has the opportunity to beat this huntress in various ways from time to time, and after a few days, Madeleine is countless times more well-behaved than before, and now she is completely obedient to Wu Hao, and only in private does she dare to show her resistance with a flattering meaning.

This is what Wu Hao is happy to see.

have crossed over to a different world, Wu Hao's concept of the relationship between men and women has also changed to a certain extent, respecting the woman he likes is the bottom line, under the condition that the bottom line remains the same, through other methods to make women surrender to themselves, and treat different women with different attitudes, which is already a very skilled skill.

He didn't want to abandon anyone unless he had to.

Stuffing the reins into Madeleine's hand with his right hand, Wu Hao smiled and said, "Come, you try it too." ”

"Thisβ€”" Madeleine was frightened, "don't... I won't..."

"It's okay, this horse is very obedient." Since Wu Hao dares to do this, of course he is sure that nothing will happen, maybe he does have the talent of a beastmaster hunter, Wu Hao's war horse can gallop honestly without driving, and pulling the reins is just to point out the direction of the war horse, which is completely different from the other ten paladins whipping from time to time: "As long as you don't get the direction wrong."

Saying that, Wu Hao smiled, and his free hand also got into the clothes of the woman in his arms.

Exquisite food is no longer delicious to eat every day, eating tofu on the journey for so many days, while Madeleine is gradually getting used to being less resistant, Wu Hao is actually not as excited as before, just touching it casually a few times, and his addiction to the body of the huntress is gradually fading, and the behavior of eating tofu is more of a habit of rubbing oil to kill boredom.

"Maybe I might want to consider eating this stunner recently." A thought flashed through Wu Hao's mind.

Just like when he told Ethan Lien, the main reason why Madeleine graduated early and followed him was to solve the irrepressible physiological instinct of coming to another world and approaching adulthood, glancing at the huntress who was pulling the reins and driving the war horse, because of the novelty with a smile on his face, Wu Hao felt that his little brother had another seizure.

"It's huge." Wu Hao grasped the soft thing with both hands and praised, making Madeleine's face turn red again.
