Chapter 46: Please take the stairs and enter the pit slowly
After Shelley came into this world, there were many times when he lamented its magic.
This is a world where the level of ideological civilization and technology is not high, but its charm has not diminished at all, and there is no way, who makes the background of the world fantastic. There are magical beasts, superpowers, alien races, and there are many magical beings beyond the scope of their own knowledge.
For example, a plant called the same tree, from the outside, it looks like a bamboo that is several times thicker, about the thickness of an adult's waist, and the whole is black. Every two years, a new section grows, and it takes twenty years to grow to the highest ten. After that, every time a new section grows, the top section will automatically drop. Keep yourself at the height of the ten knots forever.
And there will definitely be two seeds in this drop section, and the two seeds will grow from the same tree, no matter how far apart they are, they will affect each other. Someone on one side taps on it, and the bamboo on the other side makes the same sound. If you engrave a word on one of them, you will have the same notch on the other.
This ability to influence each other is naturally used by humans as an important means of transmitting information. Of course, because it takes two years for each pair of congenomic trees to be born, the yield is extremely low. Therefore, this kind of thing is generally only available in city-level areas.
According to Shelley's memories in the past, the royal capital, as an important place in the country, had a piece of land dedicated to the placement of co-living trees, and the first co-living trees corresponded to a certain place and were guarded by special personnel.
Tateishi used to be a castle, so there were a few of them, and one of them was a corresponding tree, which was placed in the nearest army.
There were strongholds of the army in various parts of the border states, each of which was responsible for only the four or five towns closest to them. After receiving the rescue information from the same tree, these troops will come to support as soon as possible.
Such an arrangement is not only true in the border states, but also in the entire Lean Kingdom. This is one of the reasons why it can be the strongest country. Even in Shelley's view, it can be called an excellent system.
As for why the same tree has such a magical ability, Shelley can't understand it anyway, and he doesn't want to understand it. In the end, it was classified as quantum entanglement, and the principles of the two are so similar anyway. As the so-called principle is not enough, quantum to make up, can not be understood, quantum induction.
Anyway, it was because of this thing that as soon as the greenskins attacked, Chesef immediately ordered someone to knock on the same tree, and carved a message on it that the greenskins were attacking and asking for help.
But no one thought that in the end, Shelley, who was killed halfway, solved it.
Now Chesef is dead, but the army that received the information has arrived here, which is a fact that cannot be stopped. It would be nice to say that it was just an ordinary army, but it happened to be a group of Duke Pokata's personal guards who rushed over after receiving the information, and the person who led it was none other than Joel Poca, the eldest son of Duke Poka.
All the armies of the country belong to the king, and the state lords in each region are at most one acting governor, and only in the event of a national war can the lord have absolute jurisdiction over the army.
But in case of some emergency, the lord also needs a certain amount of self-protection. Therefore, with the permission of the king, the lords of each state can only establish a private army at most, the so-called pro-guard army. Of course, the conditions are also very demanding.
First of all, the number of such an army must not exceed five thousand. Secondly, the settlement point of the Guards must be the farthest away from the lord's city. In the end, all the expenses of the pro-guard army had to be paid for by the state lords themselves.
Of course, this is not without benefits, compared to the king who has to feed tens of millions of men and horses, each lord because he only needs to feed an army of 5,000 people, so the pro-guard army often has enough funds to arm himself, so the combat effectiveness is also higher. At least that's exactly what Chesef expected, and it must be easy to deal with 10,000 or so greenskins.
If it were an ordinary army, Shelley would not have to go to such great lengths. The reason why she had to make a lot of moves before the other party came was because the other party was Duke Poka's personal guard, and there was a lot to say about it.
She sat quietly in front of the city gate and closed her eyes to recuperate, it would have been nearly an hour beyond her expectations, the sky had begun to turn yellow, and the sun was about to set, but Shelley was not in a hurry, as if she had known from the beginning that this would be the case.
At this moment, Onetooth raised his head, and Shelley also felt the ground tremble, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a knightly army armed from head to toe rushing towards this place.
The corners of Shelley's mouth twitched, all of them were wrapped in steel armor, and even the horses they rode were armed to the legs of the horses, what is the difference between this and Owen, who can be tempered, give it to the enemy to chop, and they can't cut it to death.
"I really don't know whether to say it's better to be rich or wasteful......"
When they arrived here, the first thing that caught their eyes was naturally the corpses of greenskins all over the ground, there were not many stumps and broken arms, and almost all of them looked like a dead face with wrinkled flesh and a wide open mouth. As far as the eye can see, none of them have left a breath.
The leader jumped off his horse and came to Shelley, who was sitting on a chair and puffing his teeth in front of the city gate. The steel helmet is removed, revealing a slightly caustic shoehorn face.
"I'm Joel Polka. Where's Cheseph? ”
Shelley didn't reply to him, just glanced at Doyle beside him. He could only bite the bullet and try to make himself appear very sad and said, "Captain Chesef, he was unfortunately wounded in the battle with the greenskins!" ”
"What? Cheseph is dead? ”
Upon hearing this, a trace of excitement flashed in Joel's eyes, and although it was only for a moment, it was still caught by Shelley.
These guys, sure enough, are all thinking about it.
Joel pointed to the corpses of the greenskins behind him and asked, "Now that he's dead, how did you do that?" ”
Doyle took the opportunity to introduce Shelley: "This is all thanks to the timely support of Her Royal Highness the Princess, these green-skinned ghosts were eliminated under the wise guidance of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and she helped us successfully repel them. ”
In fact, not all the corpses of the green-skinned ghosts that were dug up at the scene were probably only nearly a thousand. Shelley's deliberate attempt to describe the defeat as a repulsion seems to keep them from knowing that the Greenskin's army has been wiped out. In addition, there are also the weapons of the greenskins, all of which were hidden at Shelley's behest.
As for why he did this, even Doyle's brilliant mind really couldn't figure out why.
"Princess......" Joel looked at the woman who had been sitting in the chair from beginning to end, and raised his eyebrows, "Are you Shelley Lean?" ”
As soon as he said this, a silver light flashed towards his face, but fortunately, Joel reacted in time and dodged backwards, and at the same time pulled out the sword in his waist. He looked angrily at Shelley, who suddenly raised his knife and slashed at him: "What do you mean!?" ”
Shelley always pointed a dagger at Joel's nose, and his face showed an extremely exaggerated expression of anger. Then he asked loudly.
"This is what I want to ask you, I didn't expect you to have such contempt for the royal family! Even your father, the Duke of Poca, has to call out to Her Royal Highness when he sees me, but I ask who gave you the courage to call me by my name? Is it difficult to achieve because you have an army? I now seriously suspect that you must have the intention of rebellion, Doyle, and immediately report this matter to the direct army of the kingdom in the border states! Let them immediately send someone to the station of the Pokata Guards to check it! ”
