Chapter 382: Showmanship? 【First Update】
"Young master, the letterhead has been sent, and it is estimated that it will be delivered in about a quarter of an hour. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 At this point, Noyce trotted over and said.
Du Dian nodded and said, "Have you done all the civilians you hired before?" ”
"It's already been hired, and it's already waiting for you at the departure point in front." Noyce bowed his head.
Du Dian nodded slightly, looking at the drizzle outside, his eyes narrowed slightly, this rain in the season seemed to be more durable than ever.
A moment later, Redka led a heavily armed team to the front of the castle, and the civilians and several blonde nobles gathered outside the castle saw this team and got out of the way in disbelief.
Redka saw Du Dian waiting in front of the hall, immediately turned over and dismounted, trotted over quickly, and said, "I've seen Master Du." ”
Du Dian nodded slightly, "Let's go." ”
Redka showed a look of ugliness on his face and said, "Master Du, you don't know yet, we just got the news...... The wall of gold has been occupied by the savages, the commander General Obenro swore to fight to the last moment, and died in the line of duty, let me send you a message from above, let you rest at home, now the battlefield ahead is too dangerous, we can only retreat to the second line of defense of the Chiwei River, and fight to the death with the savages! ”
Du Dian showed a surprised expression and said, "The Golden Wall has fallen? ”
"Yes." Redka bowed his head.
Du Di'an's expression was complicated, as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "Since this is the case, I have to come forward even more!" Now is the time when you need manpower, your military department has been fighting in the rain continuously, it is estimated that many soldiers have fallen ill, and now there is a shortage of troops, instead of forcibly conscripting ordinary people to die on the battlefield, it is better to let people with knightly strength go to the battlefield, don't dare to say anything else, at least fight dozens of civilians, I can still fight, don't underestimate my strength! ”
Redka was stunned, looking at the young man's awe-inspiring face, a feeling of shame suddenly rose in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Master Du, the lower officials dare not underestimate your strength, it's just that the battlefield is too dangerous, please stay at home and rest!" ”
Du Dian glanced at him and said, "I'm going to go on an expedition, this matter has been agreed with your military department, can the promise of your military department be changed so easily?" ”
Redka's face changed slightly, and he said: "Master Du, you misunderstood, I just persuaded you, and I didn't insist on stopping you, I just asked me to persuade you......"
"Then don't be persuaded, let's go, the battle situation is critical, what kind of man are we here like for our mother-in-law?" With a wave of his hand, Du Dian walked around his burly body, turned over and stepped on a horse that had been prepared, and said, "Let's go!" ”
Redka's face flushed, he didn't expect Du Dian to be so resolute, he hesitated, sighed secretly in his heart, and said to Du Dian : "Okay, Master Du, you can change to my horse, the horses of our military department are trained, and a private horse like you has never been on the battlefield, if you encounter a mutated beast or wild man who takes the opportunity to cross the golden wall, I am afraid that you will be frightened and jump." ”
"Okay." Dudian agreed to the offer, and simply jumped off his horse.
Redka breathed a sigh of relief, took Dudian to the outside of the castle, led a flight attendant's horse in front of the team to Dudian, and said, "Master, this horse is a bit fierce, you be careful." ”
Dudian smiled and grabbed the horse rope.
The horse was about three meters tall with dark and thick hair, covered in scaly steel armor, and was the only carnivorous horse of the same species as the horses their hunters rode.
The black horse was led by Dudian, raised his head and neighed, pulled the horse's leash, and turned his head to leave.
Redka was about to help suppress it, but Dudian grabbed the horse's rope, flipped over, and straddled the black horse's back.
Hiss!
The horse neighed, its front hooves were empty, and its body was almost upright, as if it were about to throw Dudian off.
Dudian smiled, raised his hand and pressed the back of its neck, and gently pressed down!
Boom!
The black horse's upright body at eighty degrees suddenly sank down slightly, its two hind legs were weak, and it almost fell to its knees, and its front hooves quickly fell, stepping on the ground, neighing twice in a low voice, but it did not move again.
Redka was slightly surprised, glanced at Dudian, suddenly thought of the information given to him above, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned over and rode onto his horse, and said to Dudian: "Master, let's go?" ”
"Hmm." Dudian tugged on the horse's leash, turned the horse's head, and walked along the road by the river.
The commoners and nobles gathered on both sides of the river bank saw Du Dian's figure and immediately cheered loudly and cheered.
Dudian dragged the rope of his horse in one hand and tucked his helmet in his bosom in the other, smiling, and walked slowly across the riverbank, only to speed up a little as the people gathered on both sides were gradually thrown away.
Redka and Dudian rode side by side, and behind him, twenty well-dressed soldiers.
When Dudian took the time, he couldn't help but look back at these elites who had been selected to defend themselves, from the weapons and decorations they carried, as well as the ornaments on their armor, they could easily identify their troops, of course, this also required a certain amount of military knowledge to easily recognize.
"Shield swordsman, archer, knight......" Du Dian swept, suddenly, his gaze paused slightly on one of the figures, but he quickly looked away quietly, but his heart was not calm, the person who was dressed like the other shield swordsmen just now, the heat emitted from his body was much higher than the others! Moreover, through the light perspective vision, you can see the frequency of the beating of the heart in his chest, which is extremely gentle, but the blood in his body is writhing but vigorous, as if the blood contains extremely strong energy.
In addition, he has many more muscle groups than others, including the neck, waist, face and other places, there are also extremely dense muscle groups, which is by no means an ordinary exercise can do, but a physical leap!
And this kind of internal structure, Du Dian has only seen in Kachi and Ginis, as well as Redka next to him, that is to say, this shield swordsman dressed in ordinary clothes, his combat power is not inferior to that of a high-level hunter!
"Is it to prevent some danger by hiding a person suspected of being a high-ranking hunter in the convoy?" Du Dian frowned slightly, there were some doubts in his heart, he thought about it, there were many possibilities, including the military department sent this person to assassinate him secretly, but such a possibility was quickly overturned by him, after all, if he was really assassinated by the people in the escort team, the responsibility of the military department was too great.
Although he couldn't think of any conclusions, Dudian didn't ask Redka directly, so as not to startle the snake, but secretly watched this person in his heart and kept a certain distance.
A moment later, Dudian and Redka led the team to the main street, and in the square of the street gathered fifty or sixty figures, dressed in raincoats and holding umbrellas, waiting in the drizzle.
Seeing Dudian's team coming, these figures immediately raised their umbrellas and shouted Dudian's name loudly.
Redka frowned slightly, and was a little vigilant, in case the people of the Dark Curia or some unscrupulous elements took the opportunity to hide in these crowds and attack Dudian.
The procession was moving straight, but these civilian-looking farewell processions followed all the way in the rain, shouting Dudian's name and some fleshy praise language, which was extremely lively.
When they heard the names of these people, they immediately opened their windows and doors, stretched out their heads to look, and some people joined in the farewell procession and shouted passionately.
Du Dian smiled, driving the horse to maintain an unhurried speed, for him, this is a show, and only through the show, can he maximize the effect of his battle, like those who went to the battlefield without saying a word, no one knows the name when they die, only their relatives and friends know that they are dead, this is what a hot-blooded hero does, and he is obviously not a person who is easy to be hot-blooded.
"The master is really loved by everyone." Redka listened to the continuous cheers in his ears, and turned to Dudian with admiration in his tone.
Du Dian smiled slightly and said, "If you treat others with kindness, you will be treated with kindness by others, this is 'truth', isn't it?" ”
"That's what the master said." Redka agreed.
Moments later, Dudian and Redcar's escort walked out of the bustling area of the business district and into the suburbs. After entering the suburbs, Redka's expression immediately became serious, and he ordered the team, protected Dudian in the middle, and marched forward in a diamond-shaped team.
As he changed his formation, Du Dian suddenly noticed that the shield swordsman with extraordinary strength was the first to approach him, and the rest of the people quickly gathered and surrounded Du Dian inside.
Dudian looked left and right from time to time, but only when he looked at the shield swordsman on his left, his eyes were slightly noticed.
After coming to a plain near the Chiwei River, Du Dian suddenly stopped his horse, and the surrounding guards also quickly stopped, and they all looked at Du Dian very quickly.
"Colonel, there's the Chiwei River ahead of here, right?" Dudian turned to Redka and said, "Are you going to take me to the second line of defense of the Chiwei River?" As far as I know, it is only a preliminary barrier to be built there, and if the wildlings do not attack the commercial area from the Akawei River in a straight line, but choose to march from the snowfields in the north or the blackwater swamps in the south, won't it be too late to stop them? ”
Redka was slightly stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Master, there are soldiers in these two places, if there is a trace of a wild man, he will immediately send a large army over, the battlefield here in the Chiwei River is the safest, with the Chiwei River blocking it, the wild man can't attack it for a while." ”
"The safest?" When Du Dian heard this, his face deliberately showed anger, and he said, "Could it be that you look down on me, school officer?" I went to the battlefield, not to let you protect, but to take you to kill the enemy, and you took me directly to the safest place, then I might as well stay at home, what kind of battlefield do I go to? What savages to kill? Could it be that everyone present is cowardly, greedy for life and afraid of death?! ”
Redka's face changed, and the faces of the people who were protecting Du Dian also changed, a little ugly, they tightened their horse ropes, and looked at Du Dian angrily, but they didn't dare to refute it out loud.
"Master, every brother we have here is a warrior who has gone through the battlefield and has received countless feats and scars, I hope you don't insult us!" Redka's expression was solemn, and he said: "Taking you to the Chiwei River is an order given from above, and you must not be allowed to make any mistakes, I can understand your feelings, everyone of us present is eager to go out to kill the enemy in person!" However, the military order is like a mountain, and I hope that you will not embarrass us, Master. ”
Du Dian frowned slightly, feeling a little tricky, it seems that he was negligent, although the military department agreed to enter the battlefield, but he imprisoned himself, worried that something would happen to him, if he really had any mistakes, the military department took full responsibility, which the military department was unwilling to bear, and these guards in front of him said that they were protecting themselves, but in fact they were just jailers who imprisoned themselves.
However, since he is on the battlefield, he naturally can't just put on a show, if he doesn't show some sense of existence and doesn't have any actual merits, he will inevitably become the handle of the Mellon consortium's counterattack.
