The 8,000 expeditionary legions gradually turned into a winding dragon as they walked, singing military songs all the way, and rushed towards Kaiyuan City with great momentum.

"There is a tense atmosphere in the air, and the big war is coming. ”

"Slave owners, they are ahead. ”

"They tried to put the shackles around our necks again. ”

"It's time to defend freedom, the blood is already surging!"

。。。。。。。。

"Fight for the glorious army!"

"Fight for freedom!"

"Fight for the King!"

The song goes from flat to intense, and then from intense to gentle, which is particularly rhythmic, which makes the spies in the distance feel a little amazed.

In the midst of the song, Ma Shen took Knight Laurent and Saran to observe the stationing place tonight.

Many places in this station had collapsed, the rough and thick walls towering majestically over the riverbank, the jagged and sharp stones hung in large clumps of seaweed, trembling in the gusts of wind, and the green vines mournfully rounding the black, collapsed pheasants.

Behind this stood an ancient castle, its towers without a roof, its thick walls down, but still proudly telling others of its former majesty and power, which, seven hundred years ago, resounded with the clanging of weapons, or echoed with the noise of banquets and wine.

"My lord, do you want to send someone? Saran asked in a whisper as he looked at the faint figure in the distance.

The lack of cavalry in the army made those enemy spies much bolder, Ma Shen touched his mount, and at the end of the day, he rode from the front army to the rear army, and then from the rear army to the front army, striving to let everyone see his handsome face: "Don't use it today, let those spies watch." ”

After finishing speaking, Ma Shen looked around and pointed to the ruins with a horsewhip: "It's not too early, let's rest here tonight." ”

This ruin can provide shelter for the army, and there is no need to make some obstacles and the like, which can save a lot of time.

"Yes, my lord," replied Saran, who was riding a horse, and planned to turn his horse's head and direct the army to set up camp.

"Hey, wait a minute. Ma Shen stretched out his hand and told the young general in front of him, who he was very optimistic about, not to worry.

"My lord, do you have any other orders?"

Ma Shen nodded, and patiently instructed: "Saran, after I leave, you should follow Sir Rorent's advice more, and discuss with Sir Rorent if you encounter any problems." ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Hahaha, don't be so nervous. Ma Shen smiled at Saran, then turned to the knight of Rrent on the other side and said, "Sir Rorrent, you have experience in commanding legions in battle, I hope you can take Saran well." ”

Knight Laurent had a straight face, like an old lady: "Experience does not mean that you can win." ”

After finishing speaking, he stared straight at Ma Shen.

"Ahem. Ma Shen couldn't help but cough lightly, "After all, not everyone is as good as me, you have to have confidence in yourself." ”

After a moment of silence, Lorient looked back at the winding army behind him, and said lightly: "My lord, aren't you afraid that I will deliberately defeat the battle?"

"Daring!" Saran roared beside him, his eyes widening at Lorent.

"Bold!" the parasitic beast in his left hand also barked its head timidly and shouted timidly to Lorent.

The boldness in the back is really redundant, and the momentum is gone, Ma Shen waved his hand speechlessly, signaling that it doesn't matter, raised his head and looked at Knight Rollant for a while, and replied affirmatively: "You won't." ”

"I hope so. Knight Lorent didn't say much, but bent slightly, and then rode away.

"My lord, this... Saran wanted to speak and stopped.

"Sir Laurent has always been such a character. According to the attitude of Knight Laurent, if he hadn't passed the skill test himself, ordinary people would really not dare to let him lead the army into battle, Ma Shen shook his head slightly, "You hurry up and learn from Sir Laurent, there are many skills in camping." ”

"Yes, sir. Saran saluted respectfully, and rode in the direction of Knight Lorent's departure.

I hope he learns faster, Ma Shen looked at the back of Saran leaving with some amazement.

In this month's career as a sheriff, Saran has shown his ability, his mind is flexible, his comprehension is strong, and he also has a natural command ability, and he has only managed Astapor in an orderly manner, and the law and order is good.

Therefore, this kind of potential, loyal and loyal subordinates, why not give it a chance, after all, heroes are born in troubled times.

As Ma Shen pondered, he had no idea that a quartermaster nearby had secretly memorized this scene in his mind.

As the sun set, a tall knight in black armor looked back at his army, and the sun sprinkled on the knight's black armor, reflecting some red light from the fine iron armor.

The contrast between red and black reveals a unique beauty and forms a unique landscape.

When the war was over, I was going to paint the scene before me, and the quartermaster secretly made up his mind that he was a painter, to be precise, a slave who had painted for many slave owners for free, and had a self-pursuit.

It's a pity that the reality is very cruel, the slave owners will not allow him to pursue himself, they will only let him keep painting figures, and he will not dare not paint, and the slaves who refuse the "reasonable requests" of the slave owners will be taken to the punishment square to dry.

Therefore, he used to live in a state of confusion, feeling that his life had no purpose, until now, Ma Shen liberated Astapor.

Yes, in the hearts of a large number of Astapo slaves, Ma Shen did liberate Astapor, did not have to work all night for the slave owner, had fixed working hours every day, did not have to worry about his life safety all day long, and allowed the slaves to eat as much as they wanted for three meals a day.

This "slave life" gradually gave the faces of the Astapo slaves a little shine, and these were the good lives that the slaves had never dared to think of before.

It's impossible to work for Lord Ma Shen for the rest of his life, this is the wish of most slaves, and as for the monthly salary promised by Lord Ma Shen, they really can't think of it.

Ma Shen, who has never been a slave now, still doesn't understand the thoughts of the slaves, and compared with Long Ma, he has always thought that he is unwilling to immediately remove the slaves' shackles, and it may be a little unkind to release them to freedom.

But in fact, in other words, if Ma Shen released them immediately, it would exacerbate the unease in the hearts of the slaves who had been oppressed by the slave owners for a long time, and it would be easy for them to do some irrational things under the instigation of individual conspirators, so it was better to give them a little time to relax.

The people's aspirations are unstoppable.

The night is always unwilling, slowly enveloping the sky, and also blocking the attention of some people with ulterior motives.

Under the cover of night and the ruins of the castle, Ma Shen took advantage of the night and several soldiers rowed a small boat towards the caravan in the middle of the river.

From this moment on, a stand-in will appear in the army in place of Ma Shen.
