Chapter Fifty-Six: James's Plan
The panda followed the villagers down the hill and into the village, where he saw Horus sitting in the hall on the first floor of the inn in the village, foaming at the mouth and boasting about how to destroy the bandits.
Horus was a very charlatan man, he liked to drink, but he didn't need good wine. Compared to wine, what he really needs is a group of drinking friends who listen to his stories, and if this group of people cooperates a little more, often surprised, amazed, and exclaimed, it will be perfect.
This is the case now.
So Horus was very happy, very happy, and grinned with his teeth bared.
The panda also smiled, but did not walk over to join in the fun, not even enter the hotel, but led the green dragon to the gate of the village, moved a large stone as a stool, and sat under a tree to wait.
At noon, the army finally arrived belatedly.
They were worried that they would see the miserable situation of the village after being ravaged by the bandits, but they saw that the village was peaceful, and they also saw that the panda had fallen asleep leaning against a big tree, and the green dragon next to it was munching on the grass and dozing off.
Neither a man nor a horse looked injured, but they just looked tired.
Jaime smiled and turned to look at the knight.
The knight blushed and smiled awkwardly.
"As you say, this Monsieur Panda is indeed a man of great courage!" he exclaimed, "and it is a pleasure that we have another warrior in Thrace!"
After some hype, Jaime went over and woke up the panda. The soldiers who had trekked all night went to the hotel to rest, and everyone went their own way.
As for Horus, he had already eaten and drunk enough, and he had planned to act with the pandas, but he changed his mind and walked away with the big axe that could only be lifted by two strong men before the army arrived.
"Today's event is very interesting, and if there is such an interesting thing in the future, remember to call me. As he was leaving, he left a message.
This style of coming and returning with excitement is also full of Jianghu style.
Since there was no urgency, the lord's army was not in a hurry, and planned to rest for a day and set off for home tomorrow. But Panda and Jaime couldn't do that, they couldn't keep the mission waiting too long. So after a night of walking, the exhausted Jaime was put on the back of the green dragon by the panda, like a bag of rice, and transported back to the station.
In response, Jaime protested afterwards, believing that he should have a more intelligent image than a sack of rice.
At that time, the panda only pointed to the green dragon, saying that he could ask him to discuss something with the green dragon himself, and Jaime tried to lean over and say a few words, but the green dragon looked at him with contempt, so he gave up as he spoke.
The panda's horse has a lot of character, and the key is that it has enough ability to support this character.
One-on-one, Jaime wasn't sure he could win it......
Strength determines the status of each other, since he can't beat the green dragon, of course, Jaime can only put the deflated thing in the back of his mind, and the right thing has never happened.
As for the fact that he began exercising with the panda early every day from the next day, it was definitely not because he was despised by a mere horse.
Well, at least that's what he insisted on saying himself.
"After this trip is completed, I will naturally go back to build the fiefdom, what are you going to do?" asked Panda casually after exercising one day.
"Me?" Jaime thought for a moment and said, "I'll be the head of the Patrol Department for a few years, and when I get the canonization, I might find a team of adventurers who specialize in hunting monsters and study with them for a while." ”
"Are you going to leave your fiefdom behind and become an adventurer?"
"No, it's just going to learn. "My dream for the future is to build an army dedicated to destroying dangerous monsters and clearing out nests like Wolf's Den Lake." This requires both sufficient status and knowledge. Judging from the situation in our country, it is likely that there will be opportunities to make contributions in the next few years. So in the next few years, I will continue to be the director of the patrol department to see if I can find an opportunity to get promoted, or get an actual fiefdom. When the fiefdom is in hand, it is too late to go to make-up classes to study. ”
Panda nodded, thinking that this idea was also reliable.
Most importantly, he knew that in the next few years, the Thracian side would really have a chance to make a career and be promoted.
According to the "plot" he knew, probably this winter, Thrace would launch the first step of a series of foreign wars, blitzkrieg the northern Leighton Kingdom, taking advantage of the blind spot that no one expected that someone would fight in the snow-covered season, it took only seven days for the army to arrive at the capital of the Leighton Kingdom, which had a longer history than Thrace, and almost perished.
Although this battle was finally mediated by several orcs and golden horde shamans, and did not end in a war of annihilation, the kingdom of Leighton was downgraded to the Duchy of Leighton, and the king of Thrace was proclaimed emperor soon after, and the Kingdom of Thrace became the Thracian Empire.
If Jaime had been sharp enough, he should have been able to spot the clues. As long as he takes the initiative to ask for help, it is entirely possible to participate in this easy war, and take credit for the war, and get what he wants.
According to the setting they sorted out by Sleepless, the "Battle of Eagle Deer" between Thrace and Leighton is generally not risky. The Thracian army's losses were small, and the main losses came from the bitter cold - the kingdom of Leighton, under the banner of snow deer, was located in the northern part of the western continent and had a cold climate. In winter, it's just dripping into ice, not to mention fighting, even if you go out for a spin, it's enough to choke. Despite all the preparations, the Thracians still froze to death and suffered frostbite to many people, even more than ten times the battle damage.
Jaime has a good strength and a lot of money, so it is not difficult for him to prepare some magic items to protect against the cold. Since the cold is not a problem, it is unlikely that he will die on the battlefield, and this battle is purely an opportunity for him to earn credit.
Panda pondered for a moment, organized the sentence, and then said, "Do you also think there will be an opportunity to make a contribution in the next few years?"
Jaime hesitated for a moment, looked left and right, lowered his voice, and said in a voice that could only be heard by two people, "I think Your Majesty may be attacking Leighton." ”
"Oh, how so?"
"The housekeeper sent me a message a few days ago, saying that a few acquaintances came to him to borrow a set of 'Ice Crusher' from my house. In addition to being good-looking, that set of armor has no special advantages, although it is a magic equipment, but the point of 'cold resistance' is really useless. If it's just one person who needs it, and several people come to borrow it, it's a bit of a problem. ”
Jaime paused, lest the panda not believe him, and continued, "You know the origin of my family. Those few people, all ...... Hehe, it's good that you understand. They would come to borrow this armor, and I can't think of anything other than that. ”
The panda nodded slightly, and then asked, "What are you going to do?"
"What else can I do?" Jaime smiled, "of course you can't miss this opportunity!"
"Didn't you say you would be the head of the patrol department for a few years?"
“...... If I'm wrong, then of course I'll go back to be the head of the patrol department. ”
"You're so well prepared, admire and admire!"
"Are you going to be part of this war as well?" asked Jaime.
Panda hesitated rarely, he thought for a long time, and still shook his head: "I'm not sure, let's talk about it then......"
