Chapter 371: Departure (II)
The archbishop finally did a good thing, with the food he brought from the city of Sulma next door, today's dinner was the most hearty Wang Chu had eaten in this time.
This food was originally brought according to the standard of marching, enough for more than 100,000 troops to eat for half a month, and more will continue to be transported from Surma City in the future.
Theron has always advocated for water transportation, and it just so happens that the two cities are already connected by water.
Most of the funds for the city's suffering in the empire will be paid by the imperial capital, so Leorick who was present has nothing to be reluctant to, the rain in the south is abundant and there are many aquatic products near the Yangtze River Valley, and there is no shortage of food in every city in a single round.
If you don't sell them all at a low price when the empire appears, the backlog will not be able to break down in winter.
So Leorick readily agreed, so much so that Theron was very grateful. Wang Chu watched the two of them put on a show, not to mention how embarrassing it was, it was really not easy to run a city, and there were not two more actors.
And Archbishop Benedictas was also very cooperative, praising the two cities for being very harmonious, and the cities of the empire should be like this.
Wang Chu ate by himself, because the long-distance transportation team would not bring fresh meat, it was all cured meat, but it was very well pickled, this kind of taste had not been eaten in the imperial capital and Hajar City, it should be a special product or something.
Noticing a pair of eyes that seemed to be looking at him, he looked up to see the paladin Akara sitting next to the archbishop looking at him.
What do you watch me do to eat yours?
Wang Chu glanced at the other party, humans shouldn't be able to see the squirrel's expression, anyway, it doesn't matter.
When I eat, I like to eat as a small animal, so the portion size increases...... This bug was discovered a long time ago.,If you use the form of a werewolf or a giant bear when eating.,A piece of meat is not enough for a mouthful and the amount is large.,But if it's a squirrel and a raven.,It's basically enough for one person.。
"General Lias, does the god of crows usually eat like this?" Akara leaned over curiously, staying at the table to the right of Lias, and she was on Lias's left, so the two of them could still communicate.
The archbishop was busy getting acquainted with several high-ranking priests and priests in Sunchase City, and the paladin lord was robbed of the limelight.
"Cam, you say? He's always been like that. Lias said casually, don't ask this kind of thing every time.
It seems to understand what we are saying. ”
Wang Chu raised his head as he ate.
Since you know that I can understand, you still say my words to your face.
"Shhhh Lias said.
Burst~
"It's funny, I didn't know what the god of crows was usually in this state, I remember the domineering in the sky that day, and the vicious birds and beasts that my brother described as standing and walking. ”
Wang Chu listened to the other party's description, and his head was full of black lines.
Oh, when did my owl look like that?
........................
After dinner, the archbishop asked Lias and Akara to stay alone, because they were both generals from the imperial capital, some things may have to be explained, Wang Chu as a beast summoner, of course, also followed Lias, I thought that the other party would say something useful, it turned out to be about the situation here.
I want to know the truth from Lias.
"I've not been here for long, but most of what Lord Theron says is true, and at least he won't lie about the South. "Lias hasn't been to the wilderness, but what Ain said before is pretty much the same thing, so it's basically no problem.
"That's going to be hard. The archbishop had a meaningful expression.
"Is there something wrong? ”
"It's still a matter in the wilderness, do you know that this time I took the initiative to ask to come, the archsmancer is responsible for the safety of the king, he usually doesn't go out of the imperial capital, several marshals have a large number of soldiers and horses in the empire, if it is not the outbreak of war, they rarely go to the borders of the empire, but the matter related to the earth demon is very tricky, so only I can come." Benedictas said.
"Is it because the imperial capital discovered the relationship between the earth demons? Lias asked.
In fact, Wang Chu really wanted to ask the others, there should be other masters in the Asta Empire so big, why didn't they come......
"Yes, they didn't leave any useful information, but even when they died, it was mockery, so I'm worried, Aine has been in the wilderness for so long to save his son and there is still no news, well, we can't wait any longer and need to leave in the shortest possible time. In the end, Benedictas decided.
"Hmm. ”
Both nodded.
A warrior, a paladin plus a priest, this team leading the team is also okay.
There are also Al Ain and the Great Magus of Sunchase City in the wilderness, and this configuration is already the strongest combination he has ever seen, so there should be no problem.
After the order was given, the men disbanded.
The next day, Lias gathered all the troops, and Nicole managed to find a few of the logistics personnel who had broken away.
"Are there any escapes from our team?" asked Lias.
"Not our original soldiers, it seems to be ......" Nicos looked around and Lucia was there without anyone else.
"It's the civilians that the general asked me to hire from the imperial capital, and I don't know why most of them left. She looked at the two of them and said puzzled.
"The wilderness of the south has rarely been visited, and even in folk tales it has become a treacherous place, and if they are not our soldiers, if they leave, forget it, and the money for hire should be given, and then let them go. "Lucia needs to know more about civil affairs, and civilians don't venture to dangerous places, and this time it's some women.
It's good not to go, it's still a lot of trouble.
"Well, so be it, even if some of them want to go, don't bring it, give the last bit of money and let them live in the south. ”
Ordinary civilians in this world have no fixed residence status, and can move from the imperial capital to the south or to the west...... Many of them are due to the fact that they have lived in a land for a long time and have lived on a land for several generations before they gradually become dependent on a certain city.
"Yes, General. ”
In the end, the troops of Riyadh, the men brought by the archbishop, and the cities of Sunrise and Surma, 15,000 men each, a total of 50,000 troops were quickly assembled. And Benedictas did not continue to wait for news, but let the team set off directly to the south.
The procession marched towards the southern gate of the empire, the southern frontier inhabited by humans. 2k reading web
