Chapter 379: The Shadow of War!
readx;? In the time since Sharp first sent slaves back, Sharp has sent back thousands of humans one after another. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Adam divided a district in the Third District, and these people were all placed in the Third District by Adam, and at the same time instructed Alan to choose suitable men from among them to serve in the army.
For the time being, there is a shortage of rare metals in Blackstone Town, and Adam asked Alan to train these slaves first, firstly, to get them used to it as soon as possible, and secondly, to prevent the presence of too many human men in the third city from causing some security hazards.
When Sharp sent the slaves back for the last time, they brought back two messages.
The first is the time when he will return with his troops, about the end of the year, that is, two or three months later, when he will also return with a group of slaves. According to Sharp's exact words, the slaves were very numerous, and they were specially prepared for Adam as a New Year's gift.
Sharp's rumor also spread among the senior leaders of the first district, and everyone also realized that the second New Year was coming soon, and last year the overall situation in Blackstone Town was deviant and could not afford to celebrate the New Year, but this year the situation is different!
Everyone was also thinking about what New Year's gift they should prepare for Adam, and this matter was left aside for the time being. (Don't ask me why there is a New Year, this is just a statement, but foreigners on the earth also have Christmas!) I wonder if I can't be too ruthless, so let's give the people of Morino a New Year's festival!)
The second piece of news is that when escorting the slaves back, the leader of the team discovered a trace of suspicion about the Forgotten Forest and the Principality of Tianying. According to his report, when he disguised himself as a mercenary group and led the team back to Blackstone Town, he found that a foreign army had gathered outside the Tianying Capital, and the number of troops was tens of thousands.
This army is flying the banners of the Bismarck Empire and the Temple of War! This must be the army of two great powers!
The leader of the team knew that Blackstone Town and the two major forces had a holiday, so they hurriedly came back and fed back the news to Adam.
In the study, after Adam waved off the leader, he ordered the guards to take him down to have a good rest, and at the same time, in order to appreciate his timely feedback and return, Adam rewarded him with a superb martial arts pill that had been stocked at the beginning!
There are only a small number of these top-grade martial arts pills, and Adam left a few in order to avoid it, and the news provided by the leader today is very important, and Adam simply rewarded one to the leader.
Not to mention that the leader of the team was grateful to Adam, after the leader stepped down, Adam gathered the leaders of Blackstone Town and relayed the words of the leader with a serious expression.
Alan immediately expressed his opinion: "My lord, the one who came is not good! The two major forces have gathered tens of thousands of troops in the capital of Tianying, and as we all know, the Duchy of Tianying is a vassal state of Bismarck, I think the chance of them leading an army to come for the Duchy of Tianying is very small, most of them are coming for us!"
Adam frowned, he had the same opinion as Allen, but he still turned his head to look at the others, wanting to hear what they had to say.
"What do you think?" Adam's gaze lingered on Stewart for a moment, and Adam had a very high opinion and trust in him, a young man who relied on great power.
Now, whenever Stewart makes a suggestion, even if Adam has already decided, he will think carefully about his own approach.
Stewart bowed his head and said respectfully, "We think so too!" and then Colby, Mondstadt and the others followed closely and said, "Second!"
Adam nodded, his brows relaxed slightly, and said, "So, that means our Pope, Your Excellency, is a little uncontrollable and wants to take my head?" Adam said with a smile in his words, and there was no nervousness at all.
The current Blackstone Town is different from the past, if Hale brings some ordinary low-level legions, even if there are tens of thousands! Adam is not afraid!
Alan was silent, and Stewart smiled awkwardly, and Adam's words made everyone standing in the study not know what to say.
Adam didn't care, he just teased and eased the atmosphere, the fact that the army is attacking can basically be confirmed, as long as Adam is not stupid, he can basically guess that Bismarck and the Temple of War must be for Blackstone Town and himself.
How many tens of thousands of troops are there? 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000?
At present, the rapid-fire machine gun corps in Blackstone Town has not yet been formed, and the soldiers under Allen's command are still ordinary recruits, and their combat effectiveness is very low! So, to be honest, there aren't many troops that Blackstone can use.
Moreover, if the army of tens of thousands of people really came to attack Blackstone Town, then this would be the first large-scale battle in Blackstone Town in the strict sense! Adam didn't want to think that the people who participated in the large-scale battle for the first time were affected by the heavy atmosphere at this time and their confidence in the future battle, although the psychological quality of everyone present was excellent.
Except for the old butler and Colby, who had solemn faces, everyone else was a little absent-minded.
Stuart and Allen are confident, the basic structure of the walls and defensive buildings of Blackstone Town has been completed, and the armament warehouse still has a large-scale killing weapon magic cannon, although the soldier corps has not been formed, but in the current situation of Blackstone Town, they are really not afraid of this army in Bismarck.
They felt that as long as the invading legion was not the elite of the empire, they still had to fight.
Mondstadt, on the other hand, is well-informed, not to mention the war of 10,000 people, even the battle of the empire, as long as Adam is not in trouble, he is not very concerned about anything.
"Mondstadt!"
Adam's sudden voice startled Mondstadt, who quickly replied, "My lord!"
Mondstadt was a little confused about what Adam was telling him to do, so he was asking him what he thought of the attack of the Bismarck army? What could he think of this, normal fighting! Even if Blackstone lost the battle, he was sure that he would take Adam out of the siege all the way back to the Harvest Temple, and when the time came, it would be up to Adam to settle the score, and the entire Harvest Temple would be backed up by Adam.
Of course, this kind of thing could not be said in front of Adam, so Mondstadt still said respectfully, "My lord, what's the matter?"
"Contact His Holiness the Pope of the Temple of War, and I'll see what this old friend has to say to me. Adam said with a big grin, a pair of smiling eyes with cold killing intent.
Send troops to kill me? And come with the Bismarck Empire? Do you really think that I am a soft persimmon in Blackstone, whatever you can pinch it? How long has this captive been put back, and you have started to move! I knew that I should have killed Hall with one sword! Let you go to the corner and cry alone in the Temple of War!
Mondstadt nodded in response, and the magic was cast, a golden light blooming, and a moment later, the Pope's voice resounded through the divine spell in the study.
"Lord Mondstadt, what is the matter with me?" The Pope's deep, old voice echoed in the study, and the voice was so rotten and twilight that those who didn't know thought it was an old man who was dying.
"It's not that I'm looking for you....." Despite all the unpleasant things that had happened, Mondstadt's words still maintained the most basic respect for an old man.
"Who's looking for me?" the Pope wondered slightly.
"It's me, Lord Pope, you don't forget about me, the little lord of Blackstone, do you?" said Adam, playing with the quill on his desk, in a teasing tone.
