Chapter 167: Expeditionary Force
And this time the expeditionary force led by Mitić, Enrique was of course overjoyed, thinking that this was a signal that the duke regained his family's attention, so he enthusiastically brought all the troops in the family this time 300 people, and it was also the most powerful of all the lords. This little hairy boy who has never seen the market is suddenly entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and he is overjoyed and excited.
But there are also people with a cool head, such as the elderly middle-aged man who followed the young marquis, he had a serious face and a blank face, a thick beard, both hair and beard were gray, and at the same time sharp eyes kept scanning the surroundings, although the appearance was not very outstanding, but Stannis knew at a glance that it was certainly not simple to be like this kind of guy in the story.
"First of all, I'm honored to be able to lead you on this mission. As you know, I come from the Mitage family, a noble family with a long history......"
Stannis was not interested in listening to any more of Mitić Balabala's nonsense, and he turned his head to find a woman not far away standing there looking at him, or Barrow IV beside him, or someone else?
It is Fanny, the eldest daughter of the Wolf family, how can she stay in her mother's house as a wife? Is her husband willing to let such a big beauty here instead of kissing Fangze?
Stannis took the opportunity to pretend not to care and glanced at it a few times, this Evelyn's sister was still so graceful, exuding the mature charm of an elegant wife, but compared to the last time they met, she looked more haggard, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was not doing well, both physically and mentally.
"Hey, little Barrow, the eldest daughter of the Wolf family is watching you, could she be interested in you?" Stannis said gloatingly as he bumped Barrow IV next to him on the shoulder.
Barrow IV looked in Fanny's direction, only to find that the woman had disappeared.
The big man said with his head covered: "She doesn't look at me anymore, she should be looking for the eldest brother." ”
Barrow I? The guy who doesn't know anything about feelings than the brother in front of him? I didn't expect that the guy who was as dull as wood also had a romantic past, and he was entangled with a big beauty like Fanny, and Stannis was shocked, it turned out that he was the one who was at the bottom of the pickle list.
"Or, she's just here to see the sword. Barrow IV pulled out the long sword from his crotch, and in an instant, Stannis, who was already cold to death, felt the temperature drop sharply again, and there was no doubt that this chill was emitted from this sword.
"How can a woman come to see the sword!" Stannis shook his head helplessly, but his eyes were completely attracted by this long sword with a blade as crystal as transparent thin ice, and even a blind person could see that this sword was not simple.
"Oh~~ Could this be the family heirloom weapon of the Ba Fu Lou family, the long sword 'Ice Death'!" Robert, who knew the goods, exclaimed.
The legendary weapon [Ice Death], according to legend, was forged by the Frost Giant in the Ice Peaks of the Far North with Eternal Cold Ice, which can freeze anyone or anything that comes into contact with it, and is really an indispensable artifact to dispel heat.
"Give it a try!" Stannis asked, spreading his hands, wanting to experience what it was like to hold a weapon that defied physics and cooled out of thin air.
But Barrow IV hurriedly inserted the sword back into the scabbard, and said in a disgusted tone: "How can this be done, this is specially lent to me by the eldest brother, and if he breaks it, he will go crazy and beat people!"
"Stingy!" Stannis pouted, he began to regret a little that he had sold the Fire Kiss last time, and it was more fashionable to go out into a fight and carry a sword on his shoulder.
"You're not stingy! You don't have the hot blood of our Barrow family, and if you hold the hilt of your sword rashly, your hands will definitely get frostbitten. Barrow IV was still trying to defend himself, but Stannis had already labeled him a god in his heart.
At this time, Enrique, who had been talking on the platform, had finally finished speaking, and the various lords began to go back to gather their armies and prepare to set off, and they passed by the warehouse of the Wolf family in order of number, and took the food and other cold materials from the hands of the guards.
Stannis and Barrow are in the bottom two......
After receiving his share, Stannis and his men began to load them, and the wagons were specially adapted to travel in the snow.
"Boss, I still don't understand why you sent troops to get a big barrel of oil this time?" Robert grumbled and knocked on the big barrel on the baggage wagon, which was full of oil that Stannis had brought from Albert, of course, it was all on credit, and the account would have to be settled when he returned.
"You don't understand this, do you!" Stannis said proudly, he deliberately made such a large barrel of oil to die of course, not to be idle and have nothing to do, but he saw a business opportunity from it, in this icy and snowy environment, he must not be the only one who is frozen to death, and what can be more exciting than pouring a spoonful of oil in this environment that can freeze people to make the flame strong so that he can sleep beautifully? Stennis was sure that many people would buy oil from him for heating, and that he would be able to sell it for three times the market price and make a fortune.
This is both a war and a transfer of money.
Of course, a business-minded guy like Robert couldn't understand it, and he just chattered and complained until everything was loaded and unloaded. Then everyone pulled out to the sound of a loud trumpet, and the expeditionary force formed to investigate the destruction of the gate marched towards its destination, and one soldier after another stepped into the endless white wasteland, and Stannis was the last to disappear into the snow.
The rest of Whitkins stood there for a long time, still looking out over the north and the wriggling army like a black serpent, while his brother Robinsey stood silently beside him as before.
"Robin, do you think these people will come back alive?" he asked, turning to his brother.
The black-haired man stroked his long hair, "They'll be back, but there's no guarantee that they'll be alive." ”
"Yes......" Witkins was silent, he knew what Duke Garcia meant, but the gang didn't know what they were going to face.
"Will, if that Stan dies like that, how are you going to explain it to Eve?" Robinsey grimaced, as if to say something that had already been done.
Whitkins smiled and shook his head, "He's not going to die, my brother." He is known as the 'Dragon Horror' because he is the kind of man who can do the impossible. ”
