Section 656 Defection
As the night passed, the morning sun shone on the earth, and the silent wasteland gradually awakened.
Although it was already the middle of March, the mornings in the wilderness were still cold.
The temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius, and you need to wear two layers of clothing. Baron John Prader woke up before dawn. The first thing he did when he got up was to call his two sons over, and ordered them to pack up, finish breakfast before eight o'clock, and start on time.
He had two sons, the eldest son, Sean Prader, and the younger son, Peter Prader, and the two sons each led a combat team of eighty men, and he himself led a logistics team of fifty men.
Originally, he wanted his eldest son to lead the team, but before he set off, he was still not at ease. Sean is too young to understand the sinister and power-seeking people in the upper circles.
The more than 200 people and equipment here are almost all the money of Pradertown. Two-thirds of the city's defenders and vigilantes were deployed, and all the moving vehicles and mechs were brought with them. If something goes wrong, the Prader family will never turn around.
Yesterday the lobbying for the mayor of Orchid Town failed, and he can't wait any longer. More than 200 people here eat, drink, and lazar, and they will burn a day's money for a day, and he can't afford to wait.
As for coming to the door again, he didn't have the cheekiness to do so. Since the wrist is inferior to others, you should admit this loss, and there is no need to entangle it repeatedly, so as not to bring shame on yourself.
After a brief freshening, he ate two compressed biscuits for breakfast. The poverty of the fringe towns is well known, and even a mayor like him, as long as he has a little ambition, will throw what little profit he has into the troops.
You can save a little is a little, eat compressed biscuits for breakfast, and eat military rations for lunch and dinner.
After eating compressed biscuits and drinking some hot water, Baron John Prader put on his military uniform, looked in the mirror to smooth out the wrinkles on his clothes, straightened his military cap, and walked out of the military tent.
Trucks of all ages lined up, more than half wrapped in tight tarps, some mechs, some military supplies.
Almost all of Prade's belongings were here, eleven shoulder guns, five sand camels, and a Valkyrie who had more than a few hands turned.
The Prade soldiers in the camp were packing up their tents, which contained nine elite squad leaders, two big elite squadron leaders, seventeen mecha pilots, thirty assault soldiers, more than a hundred shooters and two snipers, and more than fifty logistics personnel.
plus the two sons of the big elite level, as well as his town guard level, is all the combat power.
According to the conversion of the combat power of the black table, it can barely reach the standard of "quasi-lord-level warband".
In other words, all the belongings of the Prad family are only equivalent to a maid of the mayor of Orchid Town.
Of course, this maid is the brightest star in the Maid Academy for twenty years, and it's not an ordinary character that is all over the street.
The huge gap in strength is also the reason why he gave up convincing the mayor of Orchid Town. The strong people in this world are respected, and the other party even has a palace maid of the level of Yue Canglian, and her identity is definitely not simple, how can she mix with their group of rural nobles?
While inspecting the vehicle, the youngest son, Peter Prader, hurried over.
"Father, there is a man who calls himself Lin Shiyuan who wants to see you."
"Advisor Lin?" John Prader was stunned for a moment, then said, "Please! ”
"Mayor Prader, why did you leave so quickly and stay a few more days?" Lin Shiyuan asked with concern.
John Prader smiled and said, "We're not here to play, so many brothers are waiting to go to monitor lizard city to beg for food." ”
"Oh, it's a pity, my family still wants to invite you to visit the zombie paradise." Lin Shiyuan said regretfully.
"It's okay, wait for next time, next time I come over, I will definitely visit." John Prader looked at Lin Shiyuan and said, "Consultant Lin is very knowledgeable, not comparable to us rural villagers, and I want to ask Consultant Lin more for advice when I have the opportunity in the future." ”
"You've won the prize, right......" Lin Shiyuan leaned over and shoved a bag into John Prader's hand. The bag was heavy, making a metal crashing sound.
"...... you," John Prader looked dazed.
"This is what Chen Erliu asked me to bring to you, and there are two thousand gold coins in it."
"This, how can this work!" John Prader wanted to stuff the money bag back, but was pushed back by Lin Shiyuan.
"My lord said that he also wants to be like you, to respond to the princess's call, to serve the country, and to make contributions." Lin Shiyuan looked up at the sky and sighed, "It's a pity that the adults are at the threshold of breakthrough, and it is really difficult to get out." ”
"But adults think about the country, and they can't promise the country with their bodies, so I have to ask you." Lin Shiyuan patted John Prader's hand lightly, and looked at the other party sincerely, "This is just a little caution on the part of adults, I wish you all a victory!" Please refrain from seeing adults. ”
Baron John Prader was moved to tears, speechless, and nodded vigorously.
Chen Xing originally didn't plan to give money, but Lin Shiyuan gave him advice. In the military system of the Red Kingdom, the prestige of the nobility was very important, and at the same time it was an important indicator of social status. Even if Chen Xing has no intention of competing for power, he must maintain a certain prestige.
Let it be lost first, and then surprise it, which is doubly moving.
Chen Xing didn't spend more than 2,000 gold coins to make a girl, and the mayors of several towns added up to less than 10,000, and he just extorted 1 million from Aqiaomu, so he readily agreed.
Two thousand gold coins may not be a big deal to him, but for John Prad and a few other mayors of the fringe towns, it's a righteous act to help the needy.
As the old saying goes, before the three armies move, the grain and grass go first. Two thousand gold coins can solve the consumption of more than two hundred people for half a month, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and one more point of protection will have one more chance of winning, and it may be able to save lives at critical moments.
"Thank you for me, my lord, when we return triumphantly, we will definitely come to the door to thank you!" John Pradra took his two sons and saluted Lin Shiyuan together.
Eight o'clock arrived, and the troops in the town of Prader set out on time. The engines roared, and dozens of large trucks puffed black smoke and headed south.
As time passes, the sun gradually rises and the sunlight becomes warmer.
On the roof of the truck sat two young men, one wearing armor and wiping a war knife, the other holding a sniper rifle and staring at the wasteland in the distance.
They are the two sons of Baron John Prader, the eldest son Sean in armor and the younger son Peter in the sniper rifle.
"Brother, do you think we can get a knighthood?" Peter suddenly turned his head, his eyes full of expectation.
"Of course you can." Sean replied without thinking about it, "When we have military merits, we can exchange them for intermediate evolution elixirs, and we will soon be able to break through the big elite and advance to the guard." He put down the sword in his hand and patted his brother on the shoulder, "Then you can go back to inherit the town of Prader, and then marry Miss Peggy from the next town, and live a happy life." ”
"What about you?" Peter asked a little strangely, obviously his brother was still saying that Miss Peggy had big tits and that he was going to take them back to be his wife.
"Me?" Sean laughed, "I'm so capable, I definitely can't be like you." When the time comes, I will be an officer in the monitor lizard city, and then I will marry a young lady in the city, and I will be a city man in the future. When you, a country nobleman, see me, and call me sir. ”
"Why can you be an officer and I can't?" Facing his brother's ridicule, Peter said angrily, "You are the eldest son, you should go back to inherit the family business, and I will stay in the city as an officer." ”
"Just you? Believe it or not, I can take you down in two clicks. Sean raised his fist and threatened.
"You are an assault soldier playing melee combat with me, a sniper, can you be a little more shameless?" Peter said dismissively.
Sean laughed, "It's just bullying you bean sprouts, what's wrong?" ”
"If you do this again, I'll go down." Peter threatened.
"It's so stingy, it's not okay to make a joke." Sean put his arm around his brother's shoulder, "Isn't it okay for Miss Peggy to give it to you?" Tits that big, at least 36D. ”
"How do you know?" Peter wondered, "Have you tried?" ”
"No, no, absolutely not!" "Your ears are red. You've been like this since you were a child, and your ears will be red when you lie. "Really? How did I not know? ”
The two brothers tease each other, and time flies.
The wilderness was dangerous, but for a contingent of more than one hundred and fifty combatants, there was simply nothing to threaten them.
A few days later, the team arrived in Dragonstone. Baron John Prader, however, did not stop long, and continued on his way after a night's rest.
The party then arrived at Greyhorn, where Baron John Prader stayed for two days, visiting several old acquaintances, and then proceeded.
The rest of the road is easy, there is a highway from Grayhorn to Monitor Lizard.
The vehicle got on the highway, more than doubled its speed, and arrived in monitor lizard city in one day.
After getting off the highway, the vehicle stopped on the side of the road. A checkpoint was set up at the gate of the city, with a sign that read, "Non-principality garrisons are requested to be stationed outside the city." At present, there are many foreign troops, and they are not allowed to enter the city without permission.
[Pradertown Troop Applies for Entry]
[Pending......]
Baron John Prad waited for more than half an hour before the official location of the monitor lizard city was given.
The vehicle drove all the way, and saw many troops of local forces along the way.
The camp site is an open field in the middle of two farms where weeds are higher than a person, only less than ten acres, and it is very crowded.
[Domestic water is provided free of charge by the Principality, so please save water resources]
[Please classify and package domestic garbage and place it at the gate of the camp, and there will be garbage trucks in the morning to collect it]
After the party had settled down, Baron John Prader instructed his younger son to take care of the camp, and then took his eldest son into the city in a jeep to find acquaintances.
