Chapter 240: Warriors Gather
The grasslands of Levineshire.
Five riders galloped across the endless meadow, two women and three men, one of them was a shield warrior, two two-sword warriors, two archers, and if Rollin was there, he would have recognized them at a glance, these five men were the warriors who had gone into the cave with him that day to fight against Baron Theron.
"I don't know if Lord Earl will recruit us." It was Hoffman who spoke, and of the five, he was the most worried, and he had a little friction with Rollin at the beginning.
"I think you can rest assured. Maybe the Count has forgotten a few of us, and where will he remember your. Emily said.
Although her words were very polite, the truth was correct, if you want the Earl to own the land of two counties, it must be a great opportunity, who will remember these little people.
Another archer, Lison, also laughed and said, "Haven't you heard about the South? The Earl led seven hundred warriors into the orc army and defeated the orc king, what a hero. How could he remember such a little thing about you? ”
Hoffman was slightly relieved, and the five continued to gallop.
The five of them were originally loners in their own ways, but after the last vampire battle, they strongly felt the benefits of mutual cooperation. After the mission was completed, none of them stayed in the army, because in the army, they had no background, no family backing, at most they were a sergeant major, they had no big future at all, and they had to look at people's faces everywhere.
∮□ so they chose to receive a bounty, and then formed a mercenary group to take on dangerous missions.
Originally, they were going to do this. Until he heard about the deeds of Earl Maple Leaf and his conscription decree.
Day. They were led by Rollin. Exerted unimaginable strength, he was extremely convinced of Luo Lin's ability, and I heard that Luo Lin had withdrawn all the original soldiers and wanted to reorganize a new army, which was a great opportunity for advancement!
The five of them discussed, and it turned out that everyone had this idea, and with their force, they would definitely be able to get a position in the north. Maybe he will become a knight, so he hit it off and went directly north to Count Maple Leaf.
Hurried all the way, on the afternoon of the fourth day, the five of them rushed to the northern Maple Leaf City, and when they arrived at the gate of the city, they all lowered their horses and drove slowly.
"Huh~ There are so many people, it seems that they are all warriors." Hoffman exclaimed.
In just a moment, he saw at least seven or eight strong figures enter Maple Leaf City, each of them being extremely powerful. Belongs to the kind of tough people who are one in a hundred.
"The Count's strength is strong, and his reputation is all over the world. Of course, there were many people who answered. Emily thought this was normal, and what she saw along the way made her feel some pressure, but although these warriors were powerful and could feel extraordinary at first sight, the five of them were not vegetarians.
The dual-sword warrior Rolla also smiled: "It's really good. Compared to us, these people are a little worse. ”
Hoffman also laughed, and his expression was full of confidence.
The five of them have fought with vampires with Count Rollin, and recently they have been on some dangerous missions, and they have lived a life of licking blood from the knife edge, with superb martial arts and rich combat experience, which is an advantage that ordinary warriors cannot match.
While they were laughing, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves came from behind everyone, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded very dull and frequent, and the power of the horse could be clearly felt.
When everyone turned around, they saw a young man riding a black steed galloping from a distance, this young man looked no more than twenty-five years old, his appearance was very ordinary, but his posture was extremely vigorous, and the horse under his crotch was very powerful.
When they reached the gate, the young knight slowed down his horse, and the crowd saw it more clearly.
Dressed in ordinary leather armor, with a shield on his back, a sword stuck obliquely, a crossbow hanging on the side of the horse, and a package on the back, he was dressed in the dust, obviously coming from afar.
He felt the gaze of Emily and the others, turned his head slightly and glanced this way, and then continued to move forward, the whole process, his expression was extremely cold, there was no trace of warmth in his brown eyes, and it was full of indifference to see through life and death.
His attitude was indifferent, but the pride in his heart was evident in his straight back, and it was evident that everyone felt a kind of contempt from this man.
Yes, the man looked down on them, and as the man passed by, all who were present felt a palpitation, and before they knew it, they stopped talking, and there was silence at the gates of the city.
It wasn't until the young man was gone away that the oppressive aura disappeared and the city gate was once again lively.
Hoffman took a breath of cold air and wondered, "Who is this person?" When he looked at me, my palms were sweaty. ”
Emily was also shocked: "I feel that his strength is similar to ours, at most it is stronger, but he has an aura on him, a breath of death, which is terrifying." If I do anything with him, I'll be killed. ”
"Such a person actually came to defect to Lord Earl, it seems that we really underestimated the heroes of the mainland." Rolla sighed. Just now, he also felt a huge pressure.
And all the people were silent.
originally thought that with the strength of the five of them, they should be able to find a place under the earl, but they didn't expect to encounter such a strongman.
"Let's go, let's go into town too. Seriously, I'm a little excited, and it looks like we're going to see a lot of strong guys this time. Lizon, the archer, smiled.
Everyone nodded their heads and urged their horses forward. After that, everyone was silent on the road, and the appearance of that powerful figure swept away the sense of self-satisfaction in their hearts.
The recruitment office of Maple Leaf City was in the barracks in the west of the city, and the city was not big, and half an hour later, Hoffman and the others rushed to the ground.
Here, surrounded by many warriors, they saw the count.
He stood in the middle of the crowd, wearing a black robe, his height was only medium compared to all the warriors, and his appearance was not very outstanding, but he simply stood like this, that is, the center, and everyone's attention was drawn by him, and his emotions rose and fell with his every move.
Emily saw the Count's eyes, brown and bright. It's clear. There seems to be light shining out of it. She also saw the tough young man from before.
In front of the Count. There was no pride in the young man, but instead of a reverence for the Earl, his attitude was nothing more than looking up.
Seeing this kind of scene, the five of them couldn't help but lose their minds, and after a long time, Hoffman sighed: "I heard that in the grasslands of the south, there is a male lion, who is a natural king of beasts. Now this scene is really like it. ”
He rolled over and dismounted. is already solemn, and the previous arrogance has all been reined in.
Emily and the others also dismounted, waiting for the Count in front to select soldiers.
The Earl doesn't seem to need to test the martial arts of the warriors, just let people walk over, and then he can tell the strengths and weaknesses of this person's martial arts and the strengths and weaknesses of this person's personality, and then decide whether to recruit or not.
The recruits were full of joy, and the eliminated were frustrated, but they were also convinced.
That's it. The recruitment was very fast, and the young man just now was rightfully recruited. And soon it was Hoffman's turn, Emily and others.
Hoffman walked up with some nervousness, waiting for the Count's sentence.
There was an unusual silence, and Hoffman lamented in his heart, he didn't even dare to look up at the situation, just lowered his head and waited for the final result.
"Oh, it's you, Hoffman." The Count's voice came with a smile: "And you, Emily, Lison, Rollata, Godson, I am honored that you are all here. ”
Hoffman dared to raise his head at this time, and saw that the earl, who had a stern face, was already full of smiles, and he turned his head to a young man who looked like a clerk beside him and said, "These five people are my friends, and they have cleared the vampire caves outside of Fire Lion City with me, and they are all rare warriors. Make a note of their names, they were all recruited. ”
"Yes, Count." The clerk replied, noting down the name and writing down a simple description, such as Hoffman, which was: 'Hoffman, male, bearded, more than one meter and nine meters tall, strong, shield warrior. ’
"Alright, my friend, you stand over there first."
Hoffman and the others nodded and stood in the middle of the call-up crowd, while Rollin continued to select the Warriors.
"Look, your little thing doesn't matter at all." Emily said softly.
Hoffman scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, and he also felt that he was being stingy.
The recruitment continued, and by about evening, the day's recruitment was over, and the count was gone in a carriage. After a while, an official led the crowd to the barracks.
Among these warriors were men and women, the ratio was about ten to one, and the women were mostly archers, and very few fought in close combat. When they arrived at the barracks, the men and women were separated, and Hoffman and the others said goodbye to Emily, Lison, and others.
Emily and Lison followed a guide officer on their way, eventually arriving at a relatively separate barracks.
There are already more than 20 female warriors in this barracks, all of whom belong to the type of men and women who are five big and three thick, and if you look closely, Emily and Lisson are the most delicate.
"Hey, look, we've got a new sister." A strong, unspoken woman shouted, her voice rough.
Everyone else responded, greeting one after another, all of them very enthusiastic. In the entire barracks, there is not a single withdrawn person who likes to stay alone in the corner and is gloomy and does not speak.
Emily and Lisson laughed and waved their arms in greeting.
After a brief welcome ceremony, the two went to their barracks. The barracks are designed in groups of five people, each room has five beds, and there are special bathing rooms and toilets, and the area is very large, more than 50 square meters.
It can be seen that this barracks is newly built, and even the wooden bed has a fresh smell of new wood, and the bedding has been placed on the bed, which looks new.
"Looks good." Lisson looked at the brightly lit barracks and breathed a sigh of relief, she had the impression that the barracks were cramped, dark, and stinking, mixed with men and women, and that they had to be careful to sleep at night, lest the men attack the place in the middle of the night. This is also a big reason why she refused to join the Lion City army.
At this moment, there were only two of them in the room, and an official, also a woman, came up with two wooden boxes in her hands, and handed them to Emily and Lison.
"What is this?" Emily is weird.
"A small gift from the Count to a friend. I hope you enjoy it. The female officer smiled slightly, didn't say much, and turned away.
Lisong had already opened the wooden box, and in the box was a very delicate dagger, and when she took out the dagger sheath, a light blue shimmer emanated, and when she took it out and compared it, she could feel a faint cold aura.
"It's a magic dagger, it's very sharp, and the material should be cold iron, it's a good thing." Lison was pleasantly surprised.
Emily also gestured, feeling very satisfied, and smiled, "The Count is really an attentive man. ”
It was nice that the earl was strict and human, and Emily felt that she might train hard in the future, but her heart would never be wronged. (To be continued......)
