Chapter 148: Oath of Allegiance
After dawn, the group began to pack their things and rushed to the village of Rodri. The pen fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info interrogated the old man Edson all night, and Chen Xiao couldn't help yawning all day, full of sleep. He got into the dragon cart and saw the black villain inside the dragon cart. After a night's disappearance, the little black man had grown more than twenty centimeters taller, and now he was the size of a child.
Looking at the black villain quietly, Chen Xiao knew what the black villain did last night. Hunting the nocturnal monster and absorbing it into his own nutrients made Chen Xiao feel a chill rise from the bottom of his heart.
"Can you still do this?" Chen Xiao touched the black villain, the black villain had no substance, just like a shadow, a cloud of black mist, and Chen Xiao's hand easily passed through the black villain's body.
A soul crystal puppet is a mass of energy condensed by the power of the soul.
This stuff is amazing. Chen Xiao became more and more curious about the Killua that could create a soul crystal puppet. What kind of existence is this guy?
As soon as Chen Xiao's mind moved, the black villain turned into a black soul crystal and landed in Chen Xiao's palm. Although he is a modern person, after seeing the real magic, fighting martial arts, and his own cultivation of star arts, he is used to this kind of magical thing.
It is a world full of magic, with myths and legends, sages and saints, and even legendary gods.
With a tired body, Chen Xiao curled up in the dragon cart and fell asleep.
Three dragon carts, several dragons, and hundreds of people rushed to Rodri Village. Old man Edson was carried by the unlucky man Lunis because of his weak body.
Chen Xiao didn't plan to let this unlucky old man burp halfway. After all, this old guy still has some use value.
Besides, he wouldn't be afraid of any evil spirit mage. The wanted of the Magic Guild is going to kill him.
It took more than half a day to complete the road of more than 20 miles, and when they arrived at the village of Rodri, they also alarmed the guards of the whole village.
Wu Tong and the others were like a great enemy, and only after seeing Chen Xiao did they put away their sword blades.
"What's the matter, Captain Wu?" Chen Xiao looked at Wu Tong's haggard and ugly face, and had a bad premonition in his heart. Wu Tong glanced at the hundreds of slaves behind Chen Xiao, swallowed his saliva, and looked bitter: "My lord, the front line has reported that Kaiyan City on the border is in trouble, and the whole country has entered a state of preparation. ”
Kaiyan City is an important defensive fortress on the border, located in an important communication artery between the Blazing Empire and the Dorag Empire, the border line between the two empires is bounded by Kaiyan City, and the Lakasdo Mountains are the line, the importance of Kaiyan City is self-evident, it is the ** of the Blazing Empire marching into the Dorag Empire.
And the so-called state of being prepared for war is unpaid conscription and increased taxes. This is not good news for all the villagers.
"I'll talk about it later. Chen Xiao patted Wu Tong on the shoulder.
Hundreds of slaves have traveled a long way, and their bodies are already very tired, and what they need now is to have a good rest, and at the same time, Chen Xiao has to plan how to settle these slaves.
Bell Tower.
Chen Xiao looked at the tall men standing in front of him.
Wu Tong, Gulla, Charles, Van Er, the four captains of the guards. In addition, there are Odoru, Frey, Lux, and Leon, the subhuman race.
"Odoru, from this day onwards, I appoint you as our Scout Captain. Twenty men in command. Chen Xiao made the appointment.
Odoru knelt down on one knee, rested his right hand on his chest, and swore an oath: "Before the dragon god, I, Odoru Vlache, swear allegiance to you, my lord. ”
"Your glory is my glory. ”
"I will remove all fog for you. ”
"Be your eyes, be your ears, help you gallop the earth!"
Such a solemn and solemn scene made Chen Xiao's heart surge, and he had to respond to Odoru's allegiance.
"I swear, as long as you follow me, be faithful, and promise to eat and drink spicy food in the future. ”
Poof-The originally solemn oath-taking atmosphere was suddenly ruined by this sneer. Chen Xiao turned his head to look at Frei, this girl was actually covering her mouth and snickering, she really didn't know the occasion.
Seeing this, the others couldn't help but pull the corners of their mouths and couldn't help laughing. There is no one else who can give such a response.
It's usually okay to respond with something high-sounding.
How can this man be so straightforward, so vulgar.
However, this kind of oath response, how can it feel so sour, it is much more touching than those crepe oaths.
Odoro smiled, maybe it would be interesting to follow such a master.
Chen Xiao snorted, pulled off his clothes, and looked at Frei.
With a confused look of "look at what I'm doing", Chen Xiao grinned and said, "Now I appoint Frei as the medical officer of our guard team, and the medical staff will be selected by you from the pile of people I brought back. You know. ”
The last sentence "you know" was clear to Frey.
She rolled her eyes and had no choice but to bow down and accept the order.
"Yes, my lord. Frey didn't take an oath, she didn't plan to be loyal to Chen Xiao, now she just took what she needed.
As for whether Frei swore an oath or not, Chen Xiao didn't care, as long as someone was around, he was not afraid that Frei would run away.
"Lyon. Chen Xiao looked at the subhuman race Leon.
Subhumans are rare, and due to their perverted physique and martial talents, they tend to be powerful warriors. He heard that in the Imperial Army, there is even an all-subhuman legion, with terrifying strength, and it is the ace legion of the Empire.
Leon's tall body knelt in front of Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao pressed Leon's head and said, "Since you want to follow me, from today onwards, you will be my close guard to protect my safety." ”
Leon held the small axe in both hands, and said in a solemn and solemn tone: "I, Leon, son of the golden lion, will be loyal to you, I will protect you, and if necessary, I will give my life for you!"
"I am your shield and your spear, my lord!"
Wu Tong and Gula were already curious about the emergence of the subhuman race of Leon. At this time, when they heard that an unruly subhuman race was willing to become Chen Xiao's guard, and even sacrificed his life for Chen Xiao, they couldn't help but bunker one after another.
Their adults, just going out for a few days, kidnapped a powerful subhuman race back?
What happened during this period? Wu Tong: They were suddenly messy.
With the allegiance of the two major boosts, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel good. He instructed Wu Tong to take Odoru and Leon to familiarize themselves with the environment first, and arrange work by the way.
Scout teams need to keep up with the progress. Leon also needs to form a team of cronies, with Leon's leadership, Chen Xiao is not worried about this, the only thing he is worried about is the problem of manpower.
Even if you add the hundreds of slaves he brought back, plus the guards raised by Gao Xin during this time, the number only reaches three hundred.
Many of them are ineffective recruits, and if they want to build up combat power in a short period of time, it will be overstretched.
Moreover, as the number of guards expands, the consumption of gold coins also increases. Half of the tens of thousands of gold coins he had obtained from trading soap had already been spent, and there were only more than 10,000 left.
The matter of forming an army is really a money-burning thing.
Besides, in the Dorag Empire, the secretary of the village party committee of a small village like him, who is not even a lord, is allowed to have a maximum of 100 guards, and his unlimited expansion of guards may have attracted the attention of some well-intentioned people.
As for the upper echelons of the empire?
A small imperial history like him in a place where birds don't, even if they recruit thousands of guards, they won't pay attention to it, because even if this kind of small place jumps, it's just a clown jumping off the beam.
