Chapter 262
The soldiers in the fortress were puzzled by His Excellency the unpredictable archmage, so they had to put their enthusiasm on Fu Xueqin, who ran back to the fortress quickly.
It's a pity that she ignored these idlers and others as soon as she was anxious about her master, and rushed into the room as soon as she ran into the people who were in the way.
Looking at Xia Dong lying on the table, she first patted her master's back gently, and then said, "Master, you don't want to return to normal, I'll massage you." "Now this statue body is so good to massage.
Hearing this, Xia Dong was suddenly stunned, yes, I can turn into a statue, he suddenly thought of it, even the organs in his body turned into stone statues, and the feeling of vomiting disappeared immediately, before, in order to be able to eat some fresh fruits, he deliberately kept the body inside.
After no longer feeling weak, he sat up, patted his stomach, listened to the dull sound, and nodded in satisfaction, "Well, this spell is very good, I like it very much." ”
Seeing his movements, Fu Xueqin was stunned for a moment, but since the master had nothing to do, she was also happy, so she also sat down next to Xia Dong, and said with a happy face: "Master, thank you for coming out to support today, I'm very happy!" ”
Xia Dong waved his hand disapprovingly, "What's this, should it be, by the way, what's going on outside now?" ”
Fu Xueqin couldn't answer this question, she was in a hurry to come back just now to take care of her master, where did she care about the situation outside?
Since the flying technique was still continuing, Xia Dong simply stood up again and flew out of the room, for a lazy person like him, he can lie down and never sit, he can sit and never stand, and he can fly and never walk!
When I came out, Marcus and Lutorius outside were directing the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and when they saw him, both of them hurriedly ran over, this battle made the fortress completely convinced by this archmage, in this era, the combat effectiveness shown by Xia Dong and Fu Xueqin can basically be described as a humanoid nuclear bomb.
"Your Excellency the Archmage, is there anything you need?" Marcus asked respectfully, and unlike before, this deference was close to humility.
Xia Dong was a little uncomfortable with this sudden change of attitude, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, he was suspended in the air, looked at Marcus covered in blood, and asked with concern: "How are you?" "This guy is also a character, with fifty people, he dares to rush into several times the enemy's array to save people, no matter what the result is, at least this courage is better than most people.
Seemingly a little flattered by his concern, Marcus paused slightly before replying, "I'm fine, thanks to the help of Your Excellency and this warrior this time, otherwise we would have suffered heavy casualties." "That's the truth, if you want those crazy chariots to catch up with them, I guess there are very few of them standing here.
For his gratitude, Xia Dong waved his hand indifferently, "It's nothing, by the way, isn't this the inside of the wall of the World Realm?" How can there still be barbarians? ”
"Some of them are tribes living within the walls, who have fled from the tribe because they are dissatisfied with our rule, some are smuggled in from certain places, and some are tribes who have been living in the wilderness, Britain is too big, and the empire cannot completely find them all, but because of the existence of these fortresses, their range of activities is very small, but it is not harmful to the towns in the rear."
Marcus's explanation made Xia Dong nod clearly, not to mention this era, even in the world of the world, aren't the guerrillas in Afghanistan still disgraced by the Federation?
"However, barbarians of this scale are usually rare, I believe that after they are defeated by Your Excellency this time, the surrounding area will be safe for a while." Lutoris, apparently in more detail, added a few words.
Sure enough, there were no more barbarians in the next few days, and Xia Dong stayed in the fortress for a few more days, and finally waited for the so-called escort, a Roman army of two hundred men.
However, to everyone's surprise, this army did not escort the archmage and his party to the nearest town, but brought orders from the Roman Emperor.
Xia Dong, who had a bad premonition, took the paperwork, opened it and read the contents: to the effect that the Roman emperor finally relented and agreed to rebuild the Ninth Legion, but Xia Dong must first retrieve their lost eagle emblem, because this is a symbol of their honor, and if Xia Dong can successfully retrieve this thing, then the emperor promises to agree with him to form and lead the Ninth Legion to conquer North Britain, as for the two hundred soldiers who sent the order, they will stay as his escort after the order is delivered, whether it is to accompany him into Britain to find the eagle emblem, Or the formation of the Ninth Legion, presumably these selected veterans can come in handy.
After reading the paperwork, Xia Dong was speechless for a while, rubbing, how could things be getting more and more troublesome, he casually handed the paperwork to Fu Xueqin, and then instructed the adjutant waiting for the order in front of him, "You guys dismiss and rest first." ”
"Yes, sir." Because Xia Dong is now their direct boss, he can no longer be called His Excellency the Archmage.
The two returned to the room, Fu Xueqin looked at Xia Dong, who was pale, and explained softly, "Master, don't worry, in fact, there is nothing to do, it's just a long time in the small world realm, anyway, this world is so safe, it should be regarded as a tour, even if it is western Tibet, the environment here is not close to nature." ”
Hearing this, Xia Dong suddenly smiled bitterly, "It's really natural, it's too natural, there's no entertainment at all, and the food is ......, alas!" ”
Of course, Fu Xueqin knew about his distress, but she couldn't do anything about these things, so she had to change the topic after thinking about it, "Master, I read the Roman Emperor's documents, and then we may have to look for the Eagle Emblem first, thinking that since the Ninth Legion was destroyed in northern Britain, then the Eagle Emblem must have also been lost there, and I asked others, the Eagle Emblem was made of pure gold, and such a precious thing should be preserved by the most powerful barbarian tribes, so we need a guide who understands the language of the barbarians." , but also to learn about the terrain of the north. ”
Since his family knows about his own family affairs, of course Xia Dong knows that he is too far behind Fu Xueqin, so he simply ordered directly, "Xueqin, you can handle these things, I don't bother to take care of it." ”
As a professional soldier, Fu Xueqin naturally knew that it was not fun to lead an army of two hundred people, and the things involved were very cumbersome, and he was not humble at the moment, so he just nodded, "Zhilu Dao, master, you can rest, and I will handle the rest." ”
Waiting for her to leave, Xia Dong lay on the table boredly and sighed mournfully, "When can I go back, this ghost world is about to drive me crazy!" ”
Retrieving the Eagle Emblem, rebuilding the legion, and conquering the barbarians all seem like a hassle!
