Earl Vast was very pleased to hear this, and exclaimed, "Shepard, your dedication to the kingdom will surely be rewarded. ”

Shepard smiled and nodded, as the high-level combat force of the Eastern Route Army, as long as he was still in the army, he was a real support, but he still left some soldiers in the Eastern Route Army, which was to support the majesty of Tesser on the scene, and support His Excellency the commander of the Eastern Route Army to deter those nobles who surrendered.

Although this banquet ended in the joy of the guests and hosts, it is unknown how happy the nobles who left in a hurry were unknown, and they still had to stay in the city for a while, waiting for the review team drawn by the three churches to come here, fortunately, the church of the gods had already mobilized a lot of forces in the Ammu Kingdom, so the review team was estimated to come within a week.

Two weeks later, the nobles who had passed the censorship hurried back to their territories to recruit troops for the Eastern Route Army, and these rabble would be trained in the vicinity of the city of Franc before heading north, across the eastern section of the Esmeer River to the capital of Am, which was said to have been under the siege of the cultists for a long time.

"It's been three months, and it's finally gone, and Esmirtaran hasn't fallen yet, it's unbelievable."

Counting the contributions of the nobles, the total number of the Eastern Route Army finally exceeded 10,000, and the Count of Vastor led the army from the city of Franc with high spirits, pointing straight to the north.

Shepard rode a black horse with the army, a hundred of his men followed behind him, and Geoff, as the captain of the guard, led twenty soldiers to warily scrutinize anyone who approached the lord, even Viscount Dures, who was a friend of the baron.

Seeing the tall Jeff with his shield and sword guarding Shepard's side, Dures said with some envy, "My friend, where did you find such a strong and loyal captain of the guard?" ”

Shepard laughed: "This must be Lady Luck throwing a wink at me, Dures, it's useless for you to envy." ”

Dures sighed: "I'm not envious of your luck, but of your magnanimity!" This captain of your personal guard is not an ordinary combat position, is he? ”

Shepard said briskly: "After all, it is the Earl's cronies, Dures your vision is not bad, Jeff's training is according to the standard of the [Iron Wall Shield], don't look at that shield is inconspicuous, it is a delicate equipment that can only be created by a skilled blacksmith who is skilled in smelting ore." ”

Dures stammered: "I know that you must have reaped a lot of benefits in the castle of the Salibotta family, the luster of this shield is similar to obsidian, is it made of black iron?" ”

Shepard smiled, but didn't explain, in fact, this shield was one of the trophies he had obtained from the secret chamber of the Salibotta family castle, not only made of black iron, moire steel, and star meteorite, but also added a small amount of adamantite and malachite powder, making this shield the top of the finest equipment, and the sturdiness and resistance to magic were excellent.

If according to the player's statement, that is, Jeff is going to advance from an ordinary sword and shield warrior to the special profession of [Iron Wall Shield Guard], as the name suggests, the combat skills and characteristics of this advanced profession are in the shield and defense, Jeff has followed Shepard to run around for more than half a year, has been diligent and loyal to endure hardships, and Shepard, who has always implemented meritorious rewards, will naturally not let the loyalty of his subordinates be wasted.

Tens of thousands of horses walked north for a week, and finally arrived at the south bank of the Esmir River.

Fortunately, now the south bank of the Esmir River is in the hands of the Eastern and Western Route Army, and the Church of the Gods has come forward to match, all the Toucheng nobles who have set up docks along the river have donated their ships, and those merchant ships that have been stranded in the docks have also been requisitioned, barely able to transport 2,000 people, and the more than 10,000 people of the Eastern Route Army have to be transported back and forth for four or five.

Shepard and his entourage stood on a hillside with his men looking at the broad riverbank, and saw the herald running out of the main formation from a distance, until they reached Shepard and the others, and then said loudly: "Lord Baron! The Earl summons you to him. ”

Shepard looked left and right, and flicked his horsewhip: "Okay, I'll go over here." ”

The herald departed at once, and Shepard left behind a hundred of his men, except for Jeffer with a few guards, and when he reached the Earl's tent, he was the only one who entered.

As soon as he entered the camp, he was faced with a cold wind in the already hot weather, and Shepard only felt refreshed, and immediately keenly sensed the magic fluctuations in the camp.

'Carving a magic circle on the tent to act as an air conditioner?' Magic is indeed the first productive force in the other world, but the cost is too high. ’

He only smiled in his heart, and the whispers in the camp also came into his ears, and after walking a few steps, he saw that there were already more than a dozen nobles gathered in the camp tent, and the nobles who surrendered to Cheng were also called by the East Route Army to ask to accompany the army, so as not to cause trouble in the rear.

Count Vaster was staring at the map, and when he looked up and saw Shepard in front of him, he motioned for him to wait first, and Shepard walked to the side, picked up the dried fruit on the coffee table and ate it unceremoniously.

When the nobles were basically here, Count Vast, who had been looking at the map, raised his head, he looked at Shepard first, and said softly: "Baron Preel, the ships currently concentrated can transport two thousand people across the river at a time, but among the first batch of people, there must be strong people to guard against possible dangers, and you are the most suitable in the army at present except me, I don't know if you accept it?" ”

"For the cause of the kingdom, I am duty-bound." Shepard wore a noble ring made in the territory on his hand, clenched his fist and tapped it lightly on his chest, and said loudly.

The Earl of Vastle was very pleased to hear this, and looked around at the others, and his tone was no longer in a tone of negotiation, but with some orders: "Count Locks, Baron Comilly, Baron Gothrock, please take your vassals and knights aboard the ship, and obey the command of Lord Prell." ”

Among the three people named, the two barons are the descendants of the Earl of Vast, so they naturally accept the order respectfully, and the remaining Earl of Locks is a faction, and if you only look at the title, you are the same earl as Vast, but at this time, the status is one level lower, and the situation is stronger than people, even if he is a little dissatisfied, he can only honestly accept the order.

When the military order was issued, there was no need to wait in the tent, Shepard went out of the tent first, and asked one of his own soldiers to order his men to gather at the dock, and he took Jeff and the others to the dock first.

……

Set sail, the fleet sailed slowly on the wide river, the wind was cool and the water was fast, Shepard stood proudly in the bow, the canvas puffed up by the wind, the flag hunted overhead, and the three nobles were with him on the flagship.

Looking at the riverbank that finally fell into his eyes in the distance, Shepard suddenly spoke, "Tommar. ”

Tommar, who followed him like a shadow, immediately came to the side: "My lord! Your loyal Tommar is here to help. ”

Shepard glanced at him, then turned back to look into the distance, and said casually, "The south of the Esmere River is already under the control of Tesser, what story do you have, you should be able to tell it now, right?" ”

Tommar was stunned and embarrassed, "My lord, your loyal servant has nothing to hide from you. ”

"Oh," Shepard said lightly, "So I'm wrong?" In that case, when the ship docks, you can go, I don't need a servant who is too heavy-minded. ”

Tomal's face changed drastically, and he immediately shouted with a crying voice: "My lord! O merciful and brave Earl! What did your faithful servant do wrong to be punished like this? ”

"I've given you a chance, Tommar." Shepard's face was expressionless, and his voice was faint, "When I asked you to be a messenger, I gave you a chance to leave, and you gave up; When we joined the Count, I also gave you the opportunity to leave, and you gave up; Now that I have made you confess but are unwilling, and I am not willing to let you leave, what do you want me to do with you? ”

Although his tone is light, he has an inviolable will, just because although Tommar has always looked humble and cowardly, he did not expect that he is a god clone, in the eyes of the true god, Tommar's bloodline and spiritual power that are very special to ordinary people cannot be hidden at all, and it has nothing to do with the identity of ordinary people he said.

Tommar didn't dare to answer, seeing the riverbank getting closer and closer, Shepard finally said impatiently: "Can't you see how special you are?" Isn't Tommar the Evil Bloodline? What are you hiding? ”

Tommar's face changed drastically, his expression suddenly became hideous, and then suddenly became frightened: "My lord, you, I, I didn't mean to hide it......"

Shepard turned to look directly at this servant, his eyes were like electricity, implying a trace of spiritual coercion, he had begun to touch the epic barrier of mortal things, although the spiritual sea had already mutated when the primordial godhead had evolved, but now it was even more miraculous, Tommar was only a low-level strength, and he didn't even dare to resist, so he obediently gave in and confessed all his secrets.

Jeff and the others had already been asked to retreat, and Shepard listened quietly to Tommar before laughing in a low voice: "The [demonic power] that awakened on its own? I don't know what kind of breed it is, but the strong smell of sulfur seems familiar...... Tommar, you come to my door, you are the protection of Tymorrah! ”

Tommar told Shepard the secret of his awakening bloodline power 1510, at this time he was drenched in cold sweat, his heart was scared and surprised, and he said: "My lord! I did grow up in Prell, and for the sake of my parents and sisters to take care of, I beg you not to hand me over to the church! ”

"Give it to the church?" Shepard's expression was suddenly a little strange, "After all, he is only from a civilian background, so the protagonist has the same encounter, if you meet an ordinary country nobleman, I am afraid that you can only embark on the road of destiny against the world, but what you met is me." ”
