Volume 5 Paradise Lost Chapter 210 Roseburg
"Lodge's soldiers have declared war on us, the warriors of the territory, in order to keep your women, food and land, I want you and me to fight Lodge to the death, this time with the help of the prophet we will take everything from Lodge!"
In the open space in the castle, Richard summoned the assembled soldiers, he raised his heavy sword high, the heavy sword seemed to make people smell a trace of blood in the cold fog, Richard held the heavy sword to do the mobilization before the battle, and his soldiers, what made Li Xian feel very painful was that it was a group of less than a hundred miscellaneous troops, many of whom even became warriors just after putting down their farm work and putting on their own swords. This reminded Li Xian of the Warring States Period, which was an era when pulling a peasant army of 1,000 people could determine the direction of history for hundreds of years in the future, and the battles that took place in that country were melee battles with more than 10,000 people. Although it is only a war between two small lords in front of him, but as the world hegemon not long ago, this ragtag army of white generals still shows a scene that is difficult for Li Xian to accept, in such an environment, time seems to have blurred its boundaries, Li Xian began to face up to the glory of Middle-earth for the first time that has lasted until hundreds of years ago, if it weren't for the pigtail army that has been singing praises for themselves until now, maybe things wouldn't be like this, but it's a pity that the passage of luck has made everything no longer the same, the original world shouldn't be like this.
"Richard, this is your soldier?" Dressed like a magician, Li Xian couldn't help but ask.
"Yes prophet, not all, only a part of it, although this time is different, we can't deploy our forces around the world within 24 hours to form a local military superiority, but these are the best soldiers, who can fight well and have superb swordsmanship!" Richard saw that Li Xian seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and while explaining, he mixed in a self-deprecating joke in the hope of lightening the atmosphere.
"How can such a soldier fight a demon!" Obviously, Richard's joke to ease the atmosphere was not successful, Li Xian shook his head slightly and said, a few months ago, the United States could deploy its army to any part of the world within 24 hours, and now the army in front of him is about the same as those bandits and sand thieves in ancient Middle-earth.
"Prophet, we can recruit soldiers from other races to fight for us, and we also have the ability to fight with the general demon army, and I have more elite warriors to gather!" Richard smiled awkwardly, and only then did he realize that Li Xian was an Oriental, and it was there that the scene of the battle of hundreds of thousands of millions of troops took place in the Cold Weapon Era, no wonder the prophet looked down on his army.
It should be that there are still many peasants who have not been summoned, and they will only ask the above questions when they are surprised, in fact, the elite army of 100,000 or the ragtag army of 100 peasants is the same for Li Xian, these are just props for him to integrate into this game. After listening to Richard's words, Li Xian was noncommittal, and he stopped speaking.
"Listen, go back and pack your things, arrange everything at home, we'll leave early tomorrow morning, and if you don't want the war to spread here, hurry up!" Li Xian and Richard's question and answer made several soldiers giggle, this smile made Richard's face even more unbearable, and Richard, who was angry at these smirking fools, yelled a few words to tell them to get out.
War had long been a commonplace here, and the night was not tense in the castle, which still fell asleep to the ringing of the night watchman's bells, and the light in the castle slowly disappeared into the thick fog.
"Let's go, everyone should not forget their rations and weapons, we don't have the logistics support of the US army!" By the time a faint light melted into the fog, Richard's soldiers were ready to go, and the only one in the group who had more than yesterday was the three-meter-tall minotaur.
The Minotaur could communicate with humans, but the Minotaur was quiet, just staying at the end of the line, carrying his hastily built mace, or unknown giant metal object, and the presence of the Minotaur gave the army a strong infantry advancement class.
"Prophet, the whole of North America is now gone, there are no roads, the roads are muddy and difficult to walk, this is one of the few Messenger's horses in the castle, take him as your mount!" A slightly short but fat horse was pulled in front of Li Xian, this is the horse that Richard specially prepared for Li Xian, in order to keep the news channel open enough, almost all the horses with the surname and the surname Castle were handed over to the messenger, and even Richard himself did not have a horse, Li Xian was indeed regarded as the most important role by him.
"God will watch us win this war!" Charlie's sincerity touched Li Xian to some extent, these people who struggle to survive in a strange and strange environment are the foundation of humanity and the foundation of prosperity, not those gods who are high up and treat the world as chess men.
"Hear that without you fools, cheer up, God will bless us and win!"
"Victory!"
Richard cheered loudly to boost morale, and a hundred and ten soldiers roared with his cheers, and the emotions of the soldiers were all mobilized, and Richard was able to do that the lord did have a good side of him.
"Jenny, I'm leaving, take care of yourself and try to live!" Chuck and Jenny were also in the crowd, Chuck's instructions made Jenny cover her mouth tightly, tears blurring her eyes, this is the first time that the couple has separated after the end of the world, before the end of the world, the two have their own lives and circles, their feelings inevitably have a hint of the surname of the game, but the end times have changed everything, including the sincere feelings between them now.
"Come back alive!" A thousand words turned into these plain but not pale words. What is humanity, people, continue to live, this is humanity, Li Xian's heart was touched, and a trace of the core of the Extreme Dao Supreme Ding began to condense, which was the entangled humanity and fate.
"Lodge's army attacked the Hobbit village a day ago, that village is not a strategic place, and it is not rich in food and soldiers, it is just a place in my territory to produce castor oil, this land can only grow castor oil, bake bread, and cook with it, but although it is needed, it is not a necessity, why should Rocky's army take a detour to attack there?" The rudimentary parchment map with a jumble of indetailed lines was the map of the present. The map shows only Richard's territory and Lodge's territory, and the map shows that Rocky's territory is twice the size of Richard's territory, which was the opposite before Richard lost the Prophet.
"After Hobbit Village is Roseburg, maybe they want to sneak up on Roseburg!" A sturdy swordsman beside Richard said, this swordsman is two meters tall, he was the coach of a college basketball team before, and he became a full-time swordsman after the end of the world, this guy's sword has a hint of the feeling of this sword, showing that he has some foundation in this sword.
"With Rocky's military strength, he doesn't need to do this, and he's arrogant, he hasn't taken us seriously since he lost the Prophet, and he won't use this sneak attack on us, what the hell does this bastard want to do?" Richard grabbed his hair and couldn't figure out what Rocky was trying to do, and after half a ring he slammed the sheepskin shut and yelled, "Whatever Rocky wants to do, I'll get to Roseburg before he does, and speed up the march!" ”
Roseburg was a two-day trip from where Richard's army was now, while Hobbit Village was three days away from Roseburg, and a day before Hobbit Village was occupied, so they had the same amount of time to get to Roseburg for both sides.
In the dense fog, the army waded through the muddy land, and the dense fog near the ground was stirred, and from a slightly farther distance, it looked like a big snake was moving in the dense fog, sensing the danger, and many low-level demonic creatures in the dense fog avoided it far away. There are no powerful demonic creatures in Richard's territory, and humans will stay away from those powerful beings when they establish a territory here, and demonized creatures that are not too strong and not weak will be wiped out after the territory is established.
Horses walk on muddy ground with one foot deep and one foot shallow, such land is not suitable for too tall horses at all, tall horses are likely to step into the mud and break their legs, the survival of the fittest, those who can adapt to the environment are left behind, and those who can not adapt to the environment are eliminated.
The weapon was hung on the waist or on the back, the soldiers moved forward in silence, such an environment and such a ground brought great trouble to Chuck, this special soldier did not adapt to the war in the era of cold weapons, he didn't even know what he should bring to the battlefield, and he didn't have the weapons in hand, in fact, the only thing he was good at with cold weapons was daggers, but in order to survive he had to adapt to all this quickly, otherwise he used to be a soldier in a green beret, Or a White House Secret Service agent or a Zhongnanhai bodyguard who went out to visit and untied his suit like a group of high-level thugs, he may have a hard time surviving the first battle of this army, but fortunately, he taught the new soldier Richard with all his heart, hoping to help them.
"Hurry, hurry, let's camp and rest when the crows make their first chirp!" The ghost raven is a scavenging creature, not a demonized crow, it is an underground dark creature whose calls are used by those who live here to determine time.
After about an hour, the foggy world completely darkened, the faint light in the sky disappeared completely, and the human armies generally stopped moving in the dark night, because some powerful predators would occasionally appear in the darkness, and it would be unbearable to alarm them. Richard ordered the army to stop when it sounded like the wailing of the dead, and the army lit torches in the fog and darkness and began to camp.
