"What's wrong?" Anne, holding a parasol, straightened up in Locke's arms and looked in the direction of the sand.

"Fenrir's Expeditionary Force." Locke glanced at the flying banner in the distance, "It's the Earl's troops who fled." ”

When Anne heard this, she immediately became nervous, stared closely in that direction, and asked without looking back, "Are you here to attack us?" ”

Locke smiled, stroked her long smooth blonde hair, and said, "Don't be nervous, didn't I tell you before?" They were going to the desert where we used to be, and now that we were here, they couldn't find anything but sand. ”

The vanguard of the army in the distance was approaching, but it was only a kilometer away from Locke and his party—they had no idea what the convoy was all civilians.

After the galloping vanguard passed, the next was a slow-moving main army, all light cavalry in front, heavy cavalry behind, followed by a large number of siege equipment and infantry regiments escorting heavy baggage.

The number of cavalry alone in the entire army is more than 10,000, and this huge lineup can be regarded as an invincible existence in this vast land.

And the enemies faced by such mobile troops are naturally fierce and abnormal - although the land in the northern prairie is fertile and the herds of beasts are endless, no one will stop expanding because their territory is too large, and the orc tribe is in full swing.

Locke watched the detachment of the army go away, hugged Anne and continued to walk towards the convoy, and found the fat man next to him who had been staring in the direction of the cavalry, and then asked, "It's just the legion, haven't you seen it in hell?" ”

Tian Ji turned his head, took a breath, squeezed out a smile and said, "This kind of formation can only be possessed by high-ranking lords in hell, and it is already remarkable that the few I have served can have a thousand-strong army." ”

The Demon Legion is different from humans, and the existence of each demon has to consume energy, as for food, grass, equipment, equipment, etc., it has to be counted separately.

Dimoncoin is the demonic term for magical energy.

The Dimonku contained by ordinary human mages is about 1,000, and the high-level mages are 2,000 or 3,000, and the demons are about the same.

Urging a thousand-strong demon army would have to consume hundreds of thousands of energy, which was a big burden for the Hell Lords, who could only rely on the moon to store energy, and would not easily launch a large-scale war unless the target was in their favor.

Locke's own Crescent City is similar, the most basic facility consumes 1~~2000 square meters of magic energy in a day, and the more advanced it is, the greater the demand, and there is more than one.

If it comes to siege warfare, the energy consumed at one time will at least soar to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, this huge amount of consumption is not something that an individual or an ordinary demon lord can afford, even the palace where the Dukes of Hell are located can't support such a huge consumption.

"Therefore, the demons will either not easily start a large-scale military conflict like the one in front of them, or they will fight directly against the war of extermination, and they will all be quick and decisive, after all, the huge consumption of Dimon Cunn is not something that anyone can afford."

On the way back, the fat man talked about stand-up comedy, because he found that both the lord and the eldest lady liked to hear him about what he had seen in hell, which made him feel quite good about himself.

A few people returned to the camp, and everyone was curious about the cute little Lori that Locke was holding, and Locke was just fooling around with the excuse that he saw her lost on the road and brought her back.

As for why a three-year-old child would get lost in the vast grassland, no one has delved too deeply, and some people speculate that this little Lori is likely to have been summoned by the summoner.

Locke had always been troubled by the possibility that Annie might lose herself at the flattery of the fat man, but since seeing Landis play with her, he felt that it might be a good idea to let them stay together.

After all, let the immature little girl stay with the devil, it is easy to develop an arrogant and scheming character, if this is the case, it is a failure of education, such a consequence, is every guardian to avoid, as a perfectionist Locke is no exception.

There were still two days to go before the city of Seth, and Locke noticed that the group of people who had been following the convoy were moving more and more frequently.

This does not bode well.

Thankfully, there was good news from the lab that 10 bipedal dragons had been tamed, and six newborn baby dragons had been successfully bred in a separate space with a fairly fast flow of time, even though more than a dozen adult dragons had already been killed.

"That's really good news." Locke, who was in the carriage, was very happy when he heard it.

Seeing that the lord was so happy, the fat man with the apple on the opposite side was naturally also happy, especially now that the little girl was playing with other children in another carriage, and the fat man who was light felt comfortable.

"What is so happy? Can you share it? The fat man said as he handed over the peeled apple.

After Locke took it, he took a bite and said with a smile: "The dragoon unit is almost formed, and now we have to conduct a real combat exercise, but I will personally supervise it." ”

"Huh, huh?"

"This time it's not inside the city, it's outside, you go with me."

"Huh?" The fat man was halfway cut and suddenly stopped.

Instead of conducting drills at the training ground in the city, but on a vast plain without any shelter and protection?

"Big ...... My lord, didn't you say that there was a group of fast predators around the convoy? "The fat man is starting to be a little unsettled.

"That's right, I've been following us these nights, and from what I've seen from the ground imprints, it's likely to be the wolf cavalry of the orcs."

Bang dang~

The knife in the fat man's hand fell to the floor for a moment.

The wolf cavalry of the orcs, the fat man is idle and bored, and he often hears them mention it when he is talking to the travelers, it is a rather murderous and vigorous mobile force, almost no grass grows where it passes, and it is one of the most ferocious armies in the entire orc tribe, if you encounter them, then you can only pray that the other party is fast enough.

There are things around, and Locke naturally won't tell humans, but the fat man has always known about it, especially now that he knows that it was the murderous wolf cavalry who followed them, he began to be uneasy.

"My lord, can we not go? Or just go to the city and practice it, if the beasts find out......"

Seeing him like this, Locke immediately smiled and said: "The dragoons have already been tested in the laboratory, what I have to do is to check whether the product is qualified, after all, the truth can only be found in actual combat." ”

At the end of the speech, Locke looked out with burning eyes and said, "I want to see if their wolf cavalry is powerful, or Lao Tzu's dragoons are fierce." (To be continued)
