Chapter 320: The Return
Closer, although it was still a rainy day, the vision was a little unclear, but Wang Chu could already see clearly. Shushu.com is the fastest updated
Followed by more than a dozen people behind the two small boats, all dressed in uniform and holding weapons in their hands, they looked a little embarrassed.
This is the soldier's dress, Wang Chu said in his heart.
The appearance of the armor is not quite the same as that of the soldiers in the imperial capital, and the armor worn by the soldiers in various regions of the Asta Empire is not very different, for example, except for some special troops in Hajar City, ordinary soldiers are mainly chain mail and chain mail, because the weather in that place is drier.
"Are those the soldiers here?" said Lias, too, seeing the situation below.
The rain continued to fall, and you could see everyone except the rowers trying to scoop the rainwater out of the cabin in a wooden basin. They are all wooden bonded boats, and they are made a little bigger to accommodate many people, and it is very difficult for both of them to scoop them up after entering the water.
Seeing the fleet land, Lias asked the soldiers to bring them up.
More than a dozen embarrassed soldiers walked up, and the people in the south had yellowish skin, probably because of the weather, and they all had surprised expressions on their faces when they saw Lias...... Even, a little sluggish, how could he have thought that the leader of this unit was such a young girl and so beautiful.
"Presumptuous, see that I don't gouge out your eyes, see clearly, our general is the chief knight of the Imperial Guard. Nikos scolded.
The soldiers on the border are not the first to pay attention to each other's positions at first sight like in the imperial capital, because there are too many generals in the imperial capital, and they don't know who will die if they don't look at it first.
Several soldiers were even more surprised, there were almost no generals with such high rank in the south, and today they actually saw that it was a young girl.
Several soldiers were busy bowing their heads and saluting.
"Which unit are you soldiers in?" asked Lias.
"We, we are soldiers of the City of the Sun, General. One of them nodded vigorously, and their voices seemed to tremble, they were afraid.
It's all a normal reaction, Lias's title is higher than that of ordinary local officers, even if she returns to Hajar City, it is almost the highest rank, how can ordinary local soldiers not be afraid when they encounter someone of such status, especially with disrespectful eyes just now.
"From the Sun-Chasing City, then you should know the location of the military headquarters of the Sun-Chasing City, and there is a general from the imperial capital, who is a few days faster than us. "Lias had always wanted to know about Al Ain, because she had followed him closely, but she had never caught up with the other party's troops.
The soldiers in front of him shook their heads vigorously.
Instead, one of the people in the back raised his hand.
"General, I know the general who came over, and he is heading towards what should be in our camp. The soldier lifted up his feet so that he could be seen from the front.
He was not tall, he looked like he was in his teens, and he wore the lowest kind of soldier armor.
"Oh, where is your camp? Lias asked curiously.
"In the middle of the Sunset Mountains, that's the direction. He also pointed a direction to the far side of the flood zone.
Who can understand this kind of direction, Wang Chu looked at the finger, as if whoever pointed in that direction, it was better not to point if it was too far away.
He then told Lias about the current situation at the military headquarters of the city.
Similar to what the previous refugees said, the military headquarters and the Wizards' Association, as well as the priests of the cathedral, had noticed that the flood level was very abnormal, and the heavy rain continued to fall, and in order to protect the city lords and nobles of Sunrise City, the army set up camp on Sunset Mountain, the largest mountain in the south. It is also being prepared to build settlements for ordinary residents.
However, the flood burst so quickly that there was almost no warning, and in an instant, the entire city of the sun was swallowed up, and many people did not have time to evacuate.
"Sunset Mountain is famous in the south, it was originally the border defense line of the empire, and now there are still the site of the camp, and the city of Sunset has established a stronghold in the entire Song Mountains...... There have been two groups of generals from the Empire, the first of which came when the city was not flooded, to help reinforce the border, almost every year at this time the Empire will send some generals over, the river basin will rise more or less into some disaster damage, the Empire has always been worried that several principalities in the east will take action against us. The soldier said.
After all, it is a robbed territory, and I have been worried about being robbed back when I hold it in my hand.
"And the other group was a few days ago, they contacted our stronghold, so a fleet was sent to pick them up. The soldiers said that the timing did not seem to be bad, that is, Henry and Ain, father and son.
"Since it's your stronghold, why aren't you there? Lias asked.
At this time, several soldiers looked at each other and did not speak.
Lias and the soldiers around her could understand that this should be a confidential mission, so they didn't dare to say it rashly.
"I'm the Guardian Knight Captain Lias who was directly dispatched by the Empire to help. "Lias directly stated her identity, since she was specially dispatched, she will discuss the military deployment in the future, so the result is the same now and later.
Several soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and it was the young soldier who continued.
"We were originally scouts sent by various camps, because the heavy rain has hindered our way back for the past few days, and the general should have heard the news that the imperial general and the entire army were missing some time ago. ”
Of course, Henry's affairs are known, otherwise how would he have come here.
The young soldier continued with a sigh of relief.
"In fact, the Grand Mentors of the Wizards Association have long suspected that this sudden flood is not a normal phenomenon. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Chu also crawled out of the raincoat on Lias's chest and listened, it seemed that the following was the point.
Several pairs of eyes were fixed on him, but only for a moment, and then he looked elsewhere.
"Before the rainy season arrived, a large number of Earth Demons were seen gathering in the southern wilderness, and although they gather together for a meeting almost every year, only this time was the most numerous, and the Wizards' Guild also felt the instability of the elements when the flood rose...... The only beings who can call on elemental spirits are special beings in the wilderness. ”
"Shaman!" the soldier finished, and the rest of the soldiers all had serious expressions on their faces.
"General, General! General Lucia has returned. At this moment, the soldiers who were watching on the cliff mountain came with news.
