Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Earl's Apostle
When there was a dead silence in the castle, Song Jing's voice sounded again.
"Everyone put down their weapons and squatted down with their heads in their hands", Song Jing looked down at the panicked soldiers, women and children below, and said calmly, "I don't want this kind of senseless fight to happen again later"
Although his tone was calm, it was precisely because of this that the soldiers of the Yoda Empire were even more frightened, as if they were being stared at by an evil dragon ready to attack.
Flutter –
The soldiers no longer had the courage to fight again, spears, swords, bows and crossbows of all kinds of weapons kept slipping from their hands, gloves and helmets against each other, obediently crouching down and looking down at the ground, no one dared to disobey the orders of the devil.
"Very good", Song Jing nodded and said with satisfaction.
Although it is impossible to convince everyone, it is still easy to control this thousand people by relying on the extraordinary power of many people.
Song Jing looked back at the figure on the plain that had turned into a black spot quite concernedly, and in an instant, Gus's encounter flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh at himself:
"The struggling... Have you started to sink into the mud? ... Can... Who isn't?"
.......
"Griffith, there's a knight galloping towards the camp in the distance!" Griffith, who was lying on the grass enjoying the glow of the dusk, heard Casgaard's voice in the dimness.
"Is it a pursuing scout?" His eyes widened, but he wondered, "Do you dare to pursue us knowing that we are the Eagle Regiment?" ”
"It doesn't seem like it, like a deserter," Kasgaard, who was standing on a high slope next to him, shielded himself from the sun with his hands, and tried to observe the introducer, thinking, 'At this speed, the horses would not be able to hold up, but that man seemed to be...'
Gus whipped the mounts he picked up on the battlefield like crazy, just to increase his speed, although he knew that he had been riding for a long time, running a long distance, and there was no figure behind him, but the fifteen-year-old was still very frightened in his heart.
I can't figure out who those people were before, and why I could escape, obviously with the strength of that tall man, I could stop myself, but that's the case, now I can only escape from the territory here in the hope of avoiding these demons. Anyway, my employment agreement expires in a day or two, and it's time to leave.
"Huh?" Suddenly, several armored cavalrymen appeared from behind the grassy slopes on the flanks and headed straight for him.
Gus drew the great sword on his back with his right hand and grinned, "Is it a horse thief?" It's just the right time to wash away the previous boredom."
And high up the slope, Griffith, who was already wearing an eagle-shaped helmet, looked at this side seriously, "This person is the mercenary who killed Bazso before, maybe he can..."
......
Two weeks later, the moon and stars were scarce, and in the dense forest, which was originally uninhabited, Song Jing and the others used the captive crowd during this time to establish a very large and heavily guarded camp.
In this tent or building, the largest main tent in the center is brightly lit, and a few figures are faintly swaying inside.
"When you come back this time, there should be a breakthrough in things!" Song Jing, dressed in the white robe of a modern researcher, sat at the round table and asked Monte, who was wearing heavy armor.
Monte, who was dusty, took off his dull helmet, shook his head, and replied, "That's right."
"Let's not talk about this yet, I didn't expect to come back after dinner", he turned his head to the beautiful maid who served beside him, and ordered, "Wendy, tell the cooking class to hurry up and arrange the dinner of the hunting team."
"This has been arranged by Lord Song Jing", Wendy bowed.
"Then bring me and Huang's dinner first, double the meat, and add ice to the ale"
"Yes, Master Carter," Wendy replied respectfully.
Monte and Huang Shurong, with the cooperation of one or two maids, steadily took off their heavy and cumbersome armor.
"So what's going on?" Waiting for the ordinary maid to serve food and retreat many attendants, Song Jing asked.
"Eight, nine, ten," Monte picked up a large piece of beef, and then smiled comfortably, "Otherwise, I won't come back"
"The Earl's title, the death of his daughter and wife due to the infidels, and the infidels are all basically met, and after the sneak investigation of the troop scouts, it can be confirmed that it is the Earl of the Slug Apostle in the original book", Monte sighed as he chewed, "I didn't expect to find the first apostle after two weeks of searching, and it was mentioned in the original book." ”
"This is also expected, although this continent has been in an era of war and tragedy, but compared to the huge population on the continent, the number of Behlet is too small."
"What about the intelligence of the Eagle Regiment?"
"More and more famous, Gus unsurprisingly joined the Eagle Regiment, and it is rumored that he is very brave and good at fighting, and he is a great general."
"The inertia of the original book is really big, it seems that he really can't get out of his own fate." Song Jing shook his head and said, "What about the wanted of the Yoda Empire?" ”
"They sent the Blue Whale Heavy Knights to investigate, but they wouldn't have known that we would be hiding in such a dense forest, not to mention that our finish was very clean at that time, and our intelligence was not exposed in the slightest, and they didn't even know what they were going to hunt down."
"Then let's start preparing, get the first Behlet," Song Jing said, holding his fingers against the round table.
"And how is your research?" Monte asked curiously, compared to everyone taking turns guarding the camp and leading the hunting team, Song Jing has been hiding in the laboratory he has formed since he set up the camp.
"There are a lot of gains in the experiment of refining the human body, but like the refining of modern weapons, it is not very smooth."
"Oh, and that kind of thing?!" Monte held the silver cup of Chengjiu and said in surprise, guns may be difficult to make before they are invented, but for Song Jing, who has modern materials, physical references carried by everyone, and alchemical enhancement, it should be easy to refine.
Song Jing shook his head and said, "Compared to the study of human body refining, once the refining of modern weapons is achieved, I feel the rejection of the world. It is reflected in the rigidity of thinking, and the consumption of refining has also increased dramatically, in short, it is half the effort. All I can say is that it's better to use our own abilities, and only to use explosives when it matters most. ”
"Is that so?" , Monte nodded seriously, guns and other modern weapons have always been a source of strength before, but now it is not too late to refine the ability to strengthen themselves, the surface world here is the background of the Middle Ages, unless you meet the apostles, there is no threat with the ability of everyone.
"Speaking of which, have you been in contact with the inner world of this world?" Song Jing asked expectantly, the help of goblins and magicians to Gus in the original book can be said to be very great, and collecting knowledge from different worlds can also be regarded as a way to increase strength.
"No, even if you find a soothsayer in some circuses, it's all a fraudster," Monte said helplessly, "It seems that the magicians are hiding a lot"
Song Jing pondered, "Maybe they're disappointed in this world. Now the church can be said to be a behemoth that affects the world, not to mention that the king of the four elements in the original book is the four angels in its classics, the hidden power of the church cannot be underestimated. Judging by the wave of crazy witch hunting and heretics in the church, magicians should not dare to come into contact with ordinary people casually. ”
"What is the population of this batch?" Song Jing asked, the war-torn world and the lack of instant communication technology made it easy for people to set up camp on the deserted border of the nearest country, Midland, while constantly taking in refugees from the war, defeating and capturing bandit groups to increase the population, and building a force for everyone to belong to everyone.
"There are 93 people in the house, of which 59 are prisoners of the bandit group, and the rest are refugees, which have been handed over to the logistics department for processing, and there should be a report in a while." Monte frowned, "It's the largest population, and it's always a hassle to escort these people back with 300 members of our hunting party."
"Well, now that we've found out where the Earl is, our next step is to crusade against him, and the plan to collect the population can be slowed down temporarily," Song Jing pondered, "What about Viscount Mori's territory?" ”
Viscount Maury was the general of the unit at the beginning of the game, and later in order to appease the captives and let him temporarily continue to manage the original army, he was not afraid to rebel with the ability of the people.
"It's not very clear about the specifics, but the Yoda Empire temporarily regarded him as killed, so they didn't criticize his family too harshly, but there is no doubt that he has been blacklisted by the Yoda Empire."
"That's it, even if he knew the current affairs and cooperated to appease the captives before, otherwise there is no need for him to exist now, then the trust in him can still be maintained, and serving as your assistant in the hunting team is also worthy of his credit" Song Jing said calmly, completely without destroying the consciousness of other people's careers.
"You guys should take a rest here today", Song Jing nodded goodbye to Monte and walked out with Wendy.
Although Song Jing has been hiding in the laboratory lately, she sometimes has to spare a little time to decide on the affairs of the camp, but most of the time it is Wendy, a refugee who has authorized the hostage, to act as a proxy for several people, and as the heir of a merchant, she also has this ability.
Coming out of the main tent was a rough gravel avenue, and it was decided that it was only a temporary camp, so it didn't take much time to build.
There are also a lot of patrol soldiers wearing light armor and civilians in clean cloth clothes on the road, and the people who meet on the road see the eye-catching researcher's windbreaker, and all bow to Song Jing in awe, this is to facilitate the management of the regulations, the current era background is still the Middle Ages where the power of the aristocracy is huge, and they are also used to this in this era, otherwise they will be afraid all day long. However, Song Jing also nodded his head one by one, judging from the respectful eyes of the people, it was not in vain.
There are many people who have been captured by the bandit group, but who really wants to be robbers and mercenaries, they are all forced by life. Therefore, as long as the basic needs of the people are given, the appropriate system is coordinated, and finally the strong force is relied upon, those people will not make unnecessary resistance. Of course, the real construction and management will not be so simple, the blood and fire of the previous period and the rotation mechanism that relies on the superhuman physique of a few people are also the reasons for the safe existence of the camp.
"Is it already this time?" Song Jing lifted the team's spare mechanical watch and looked at it, the previous terminal bracelet had long been taken off, and as long as it was not too much beyond the current level of technology, the items exchanged by the main god could be used. However, the refining of technological items has always seemed to be rejected by the world, and it is very difficult.
"I went to the temporary resettlement area to have a look, and I hope that there can be talents that can be created." Thinking of the previous batches of children in custody, Song Jing shook his head, there were only one of so many people before, so he didn't have much hope.
In the resettlement area, unlike the central area, where tents and stone buildings are staggered, there are the same simple tents, and most of the people here are in rags, but the environment is not dirty due to strict discipline.
As soon as Song Jing appeared, he was immediately discovered by You Shanjian, who was standing here in the watchtower to supervise.
Dressed in a black cloak, he leaped like wings and landed peacefully to the ground in the stunned eyes of the newly joined refugees around him.
"The situation is good," Song Jing said casually.
"Let's check it first, I think they're in a hurry," Yuyama scanned around.
There are several emaciated parents hiding in the shadows of the tent, looking cautiously over the side, presumably relatives of their children waiting to be tested.
"Okay," Song Jing replied of course.
The three of them came to a dark tent guarded by two soldiers, and entered one by one with the soldiers' salute, and five children of different ages stood nervously inside.
"Come on, children, don't be afraid, listen to the adults. Go to the front of the big brother in turn and let him see if you meet the requirements," Wendy squatted down in her maid skirt and said gently to the children.
Although the children are not very sensible, they were also told by their parents not to disobey the requirements of the camp before they came, and the process was not like the previous children shouting and crying.
Song Jing put his hand on the child's head, closed his eyes and meditated, trying to comprehend the child's spiritual talent in a dark spiritual world.
But he shook his head in disappointment again and again, and a young boy began to cry when he saw this, and Wendy hurried over to comfort him.
In the sound of crying and shouting, Song Jing came to the last child.
"What are you doing?" The little girl asked shyly with her little red face and twisting her tattered sleeves.
"Me? Let's see if you can eat candy, mischievous kids can't eat candy," Song Jing replied with a serious face.
"What's candy?" The little girl tilted her head, her eyes wide and puzzled.
"Don't you know? It's delicious, it's delicious," Song Jing said as she squatted down and pinched the girl's delicate face.
"That's... I want to eat it too, and my aunt wants to eat it too," the girl said softly.
"Yes, but you have to be obedient," Song Jing said, looking into the girl's eyes
"Well, I'll be good," the girl said earnestly, with a slightly red face pinched.
"Not bad" Song Jing let go of the girl's head, using the skills gained from integrating the team's knowledge, into the abstract mental world, and suddenly fell into the endless dark void.
When he came back to his senses, his body became composed of pure white hazy fluorescent, as if he was soaring in the sky, free and comfortable.
In the darkness in the distance, there was a faint attraction coming, Song Jing was overjoyed, set off to go, a white light straight through the endless dark horizon, and when Song Jing was slightly tired, finally in the void in front of him, there was a small fluorescent float.
Carefully holding this subtle fluorescence with the palm of his hand, in the light that seems to be extinguished at any time, the life of this little girl flashed in his mind.
Her parents, whose faces are no longer remembering, love the girl very much, and although it was a normal but warm life, it lasted for a while, but all this changed a year ago, and her parents were anxious to escape the pursuit of the war with the girl and her brother.
After a hard period of wandering, the girl was unfortunately separated from her relatives on a blazing night, and her haggard aunt later told her that her parents and brother had gone far, far away.
But why don't you take yourself with you?' is a question that only when the girl is alone at night, she wonders with tears.
