There is no spring, summer and autumn in the Northland, it is always winter.

In the cold wind, Zhou Qingfeng's thoughts wandered. I remember that more than half a year ago, he tried his best to agitate in Heinuma Village, coerced and lured more than a dozen villagers who had no way out to follow him to rob and fight.

Zhou Qingfeng still remembers the feeling at that time - how awkward he was riding on a bantam horse, because the subordinates he led at that time were real rabble. The actual combat also proved his point of view, that is, a group of waste wood that can only scream.

At that time, the target was a group of goblins, the goblins for which Pheren was most famous. almost capsized in the gutter like this, making Uncle Zhou extremely embarrassed.

Feng Shui takes turns, and today Zhou Qingfeng looks at his side again, and he still looks awkward. The guards composed of adventurers are experienced, and they don't need to talk much nonsense to know how to stare at the front and back of the queue. But they're too lazy.

The guards always talk to each other whenever they are available. No matter how many times they are stressed, they have no concept of discipline. Ask them to form a team, and they will ask with a blank face, "For Mao, you want to form a team?" Can the whole team get stronger? ”

Zhou Qingfeng couldn't convince this group of wild 'guards' at all. They are accustomed to being hired by local lords when war comes, it is their style to be single-handed, it is their life to be hired to fight, and it is their destiny to die in battle.

As for rookie guards, immaturity is their biggest drawback. More than two months ago, Zhou Qingfeng once took five guards deep into the elven ruins, and almost wiped them all. After coming back, there were four left, and they became the seeds of the guards.

Half a month ago, the guards who had completed the initial training began actual combat training, but they were violently beaten by the adventurer veterans. Then they were beaten two or three times a day, even overnight. Now the rookies have a lot of scars on their faces.

Zhou Qingfeng ordered 'no waste', and he did clean up the personnel who were not suitable for combat in the personal guard. The children who were cleaned wept bitterly, as if they were dying. The rest are all trembling, for fear that they will be cleaned up next time.

The guards don't have time to grow slowly, and war won't happen until they're trained. The brutal system of elimination, though ruthless, ensures as much as possible that the remaining part survives on the battlefield. As for those who are dissuaded, it is good to do some other work.

Now, the guards joined Zhou Qingfeng as light infantry and fought in a carriage. They are restrained, sensitive, nervous, disciplined and organized, but they don't know how many can survive the hard battle?

Thinking about the chaos he was about to face, Zhou Qingfeng still felt that his subordinates were full of rabble. He took more than eighty of his men with him, spent a day leaving the Black Forest, and arrived at Coldwind City at noon the next day.

When the guards who led the team appeared in the skyline with a large red flag, the residents outside the city of Coldwind actually hugged their heads and ran away. Zhou Qingfeng thought that the monochrome red flag given by the succubus was too small and not majestic enough, so he knew that it had such a strong response when it appeared.

Behind the red flag were two columns of guards cavalry in a loose formation, and the horse's heads had never been aligned, and Zhou Qingfeng had a complaint about this. But as their chaotic hooves slowly approached the road, the frightened passers-by could no longer move their legs.

Zhou Qingfeng was just behind the Guards Cavalry, and the huge 'Swift Shadow' of his body blocked the entire road. The skeletal war horse was like the deepest fear from a nightmare, it stomped on fire with all four hooves, and its body was churning with negative energy, and it was majestic in front of people.

Behind the 'Swift Shadow', twenty carriages sparkled by, and the sound of rumbling wheels could be heard far away. Many passers-by had never seen such a large convoy, and their faces were pale and stunned.

At the end of the group were a few Guards cavalry who acted as guards, staring at both sides of the road with fierce targets, with the aim of preventing anyone from approaching the convoy with blind spots. If they detect an enemy attack, they also have to warn them.

When the whole team approached with great momentum, the passers-by who were not stunned finally understood that this was a force. But no one could understand the red banner that opened the road, so they had the courage to ask the cavalry who acted as the rearguard, "Hey, which master is this traveling?" ”

"This is the team of His Excellency Victor Hugo." The cavalry of the Guards wore inlaid armor, fine iron helmets, cavalry swords at their waists, hardwood bows on their backs, and even the boots under their feet were authentic cooked cowhide.

This piece of equipment is light and sturdy, and it can't be bought for fifteen gold coins.

The questioned cavalryman spoke in a gruff voice, and the words buzzed under the iron helmet. He could see the surprise and shock of the passers-by, and the pride made him shout again, "We are the team of His Excellency Victor Hugo. ”

In the gloomy Northland, everything is either gray or black, and the bright red is very penetrating, and it can be seen clearly from hundreds of meters. When the name of 'Victor Hugo' sounded, people on the road immediately remembered it.

But when Zhou Qingfeng rode his horse to the city gate, he found that the city gate was closed and the drawbridge was pulled up. The soldiers on the city walls panicked, only a few frightened heads poked out of the arrow towers, staring at the red flag that was swaying in the cold wind.

"Is there any mistake? I'll bring 80 people, and these grandchildren are scared like this? Zhou Qingfeng complained on horseback, he felt that his outpost team didn't even have a hundred people, it was shabby enough, and he was embarrassed to meet people.

The traverser led the troops to the battle, and if he didn't bring tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of troops, he would not have the face to record in the history books. But what do the guys on the city wall think who are scared to pee their pants? It's really incomprehensible.

Zhou Qingfeng didn't understand, but the soldiers of Cold Wind City had really never seen such a large team with bright armor and clear banners. The war horses are fat and strong, the cavalry are burly and heroic, and even the carriages are exactly the same.

When the more than eighty people and horses moved forward unhurriedly, this momentum made the people facing it panic - the guards of Cold Wind City still remembered to close the city gate and close the suspension bridge, which was already a little bit of consciousness.

There were also many soldiers on the city wall who were frightened by the 'rabble' under Zhou Qingfeng and turned around and fled. Zhou Qingfeng waited under the city wall for a long time, and could only let Seth go out to report his identity.

When the news of the arrival of His Excellency Victor Hugo reached the city, all kinds of rumors and rumors had begun to spread all over the city. All the forces in the city were surprised. No one expected the Zhou Qing summit to come.

Waiting for the residents of the city to calm down, countless people rushed towards the city gate. So Zhou Qingfeng waited outside the city for a long time and did not wait for the city gate to open, but waited for a large number of people to watch the excitement, and the city wall resounded with surprises one after another.

Zhou Qingfeng looks like a monkey in a zoo 100 meters below the city for people to watch. The subordinates he brought with him gradually became impatient, but he shouted sharply, "Stand in line, stand in a military posture."

The cavalry mounted and the infantry lined up. Since people want to see it, they should show it generously. Although our numbers are small, we must also show our military appearance and military might. ”
