While waiting for Da Kang to do something, Luo Ming chatted with the messenger.

The messenger's name is Jacob and he has no surname because he is an orphan raised by the Church of the Dawn.

Churches often raise orphans within their means, on the one hand, to show their benevolence, and on the other hand, the orphans they raise are generally very faithful and religious, and are one of the important sources of church personnel.

Most orphans would become low-level priests, priests, or temple guards, far more reliable than temporary recruits.

But Jacob was obviously out of that level, not to mention anything else, Luo Ming could detect that although the other party showed an aura that had just been promoted and had an unstable foundation, he was still a sword master no matter how he said it.

Looking at his appearance, he is probably twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

Luo Ming and Granty, who became swordsmen within the age of twenty, can be said to be the only perverts in a million, and they must be excluded from general discussions.

And people like Jacob are actually completely geniuses.

If nothing else, he has the possibility of attacking the Great Sword Master in his lifetime.

Such a young man must be the treasure of the Church of Dawn in the Diocese of Vision.

I am afraid that sending him over to deliver a letter to Luo Ming is probably to temper him on the one hand and add a merit to his qualifications.

On the other hand, it is also to express respect for Luo Ming.

"Then again, as a swordsman, you should have participated in the battle to rescue the Earl of Conlehill, right?

I'd like to hear what you have to say as a witness. ”

Luo Ming took a sip of milk tea and asked questions.

Jacob smiled a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I don't have much to say...... I haven't actually fought a few decent battles.

At that time, he just followed the large army to kill it, only caring about cutting down every monster that pounced, and he didn't have time to pay attention to other things, and most of the things were told by others. ”

He thought for a moment, and then said, "However, I feel that the monsters this time are not only many in quantity, but also in quality.

If you want to kill an ordinary monster, you need to use about thirty percent more strength. And they also seem to be a little more agile. ”

"Thanks for the reminder. ”

Just this piece of information is actually very useful to Luo Ming.

Preparing soldiers in advance for this aspect may reduce double-digit casualties.

"Well, it's probably the cultists who do it, transporting livestock, and even capturing locals to feed monsters and nests, that makes them stronger......

I don't know where these guys sneaked into Vanshey. ”

Hearing Luo Ming's words, Jacob asked a little strangely, "What do you think?"

Luo Ming frowned and said, "To be able to do such a big thing, it is definitely not just one or two cultists, but a group."

Your Inquisition didn't even notice their infiltration before that.

Then, there are no more than a few possibilities:"

"Either that, there are local aristocrats or wealthy businessmen who collude with them, cover for them, or even provide legal status. ”

"Either that, they spread out, sneak into Vanshee County one by one, and then converge somewhere...... While this is difficult, it is not impossible.

Since it was able to create a huge conspiracy, and even the Earl was almost killed, it is very likely that this cult organization is very tight, and the internal members also have good discipline.

In this way, it is not impossible to break the whole into pieces and then smoothly converge. ”

"Your Excellency has an idea...... If only you could come to the court. Jacob sighed.

"In a head-on confrontation, our Inquisition has never feared evil.

After all, each county has church land, which supports a good army, and when you really want to fight a big battle, you can ask the surrounding lords to borrow a lot of soldiers.

There are only a few dozen of those evil people, and there are only three or five of them, and if they fight head-on, they will definitely be crushed by hundreds or thousands of troops.

But they're good at hiding and it's hard to be spotted, which makes us very distressed......"

Da Kang's movements were really fast, and although Luo Ming asked him to make a plan before the evening, in fact, it was only half past four in the afternoon, and the plan was already made.

After all, some time ago, Luo Ming had been leading troops to fight in the east and west, and Dakang was already very proficient in the mobilization of the army and the deployment of materials.

Letters to allies were sent by messengers, and Lockin set out with six hundred soldiers as planned.

Of the 600 regulars, there were only 400 regulars.

However, the remaining 200 people also belong to the elite of the militia. They served as logisticians for transporting baggage during the march, but if they were going to battle, each of them could receive a pair of paper armor and a spear, and standing in place in a phalanx was considered decent.

Jacob looked at the group of soldiers and couldn't help but admire.

Luo Ming's regular army was extremely disciplined, and he had a murderous aura that had been fought in more than ten battles, which was certainly extraordinary, and only the Earl's soldiers could match them in both quantity and quality in the whole county.

Even those militiamen, although they are not elite, are considered top-level as cannon fodder.

These 200 militiamen were all young and middle-aged men, who had seen blood and had received basic training, and were able to at least form a phalanx, barely able to step in unison, and turn left and right clearly.

No, in fact, it can't be said that they are cannon fodder, this level can be regarded as elite in the hands of some poor aristocrats.

Seeing such an army, Jacob's faith was greatly increased.

But in fact, Luo Ming still has a lot of hole cards that have not been revealed.

Artillery, he's used it many times during this time, it's not a secret...... However, the target is superior to the mountain artillery, and the range is also longer, and it can hit a field gun in a small cabin at a distance of several hundred meters, which has not yet been seen by outsiders.

In addition, there are hot air balloons, and the super long guns that Luo Ming has some elite soldiers practice, these are all good things that can change the tide of battle......

Today's departure time is already five o'clock, and this season, it will be dusk at about six o'clock, and it will be dark before eight o'clock, so you must prepare to camp at dusk.

The total time spent on the march was only an hour and a half.

But in just one and a half hours, they've gone nine kilometers.

Although this high speed does not last and can accumulate a lot of fatigue, it is okay since you have to rest soon.

After a night's sleep, this fatigue will definitely disappear without a trace.
