Chapter 505: Convergence (I)
Chapter 505: Convergence (I)
On March 19th, the sun was shining, and many plants and plants began to gradually sprout under the moisture of spring.
On a dirt-paved avenue, on this morning, suddenly from the end of the road, at a speed that is neither fast nor slow, a group of people, about a hundred people, most of them on horseback, and a few on foot, in order to accommodate the speed of the walkers, the whole team is not very fast.
Judging from their equipment, this team is not bad, it doesn't look like a team of adventurers who have been put together temporarily, which can be seen from their fairly uniform dress and orderly formation, the number of walkers is very small, only a dozen people, judging from their walking speed, but not much slower than those on horseback, and they are not wearing any armor, but they have a stronger physique, they are uniformly dressed in adventurer clothes, bulging waists, and carrying various weapons behind their backs.
And those horsemen on horseback, who had the appearance of a hundred people in the ranks, accounted for the majority of the group, they were wearing leather armor, they held strong reins in their hands, and their bodies rose and fell rhythmically with the advance of the horses, showing the demeanor of a horseman.
Judging by these points, this is a team that has been well trained.
It's just a past, the slightly messy team still reveals that they have begun to move from the heyday to the decline, if there is no appropriate turning point that can change the fate of this team, within two years, the people in this team will definitely wear away the spirit that is still maintained today.
"Why, strangely, would an outsider be hired to command us, and could there be a more suitable position for command than the well-known and valiant Knight Bicard?"
"Hey, you're still a newcomer, and you don't know what's going on, you know, the people invited this time are not ordinary adventurers. During the march, a new cavalryman curiously asked his puzzles, but the veteran beside him knew some insiders, and when he heard the recruits' doubtful questions, he said unhurriedly.
"The current demons are too rampant, just relying on us people, even with the command of the knight Bicard, it is difficult to take back the lost territory from the demon army, but the person invited by the young lady this time is different, he is a very amazing person, have you heard of the giant eagle druid?"
"Giant Eagle Druid?" the recruit's eyes lit up and he nodded sharply. "Of course I've heard of it, it's a legend, and it's said that you've slain nearly a thousand demons...... Only, why did you suddenly talk about him?"
No one who can enter the army will be a fool, so he naturally grasps the point of the other party's words at once.
"Hey, hey. The veteran smiled a little smugly. "You don't know this, do you?In order to block the news, Miss has not revealed to us who the new commander is without making sure that the matter is finalized, I have a good friend who is in the squire, and I heard him say that Miss has contacted the Giant Eagle Druid......"
"Ahh......h
If the new commander of the future is really the legendary Eagle Druid, then there is only hope that the legend will be true.
Once the lords they serve regain their territory, their followers will naturally regain the same benefits they enjoyed before, which is a happy thing for all.
"Shhhh The veteran motioned for the crowd not to spread the news, and seeing that he was so cautious, several people who heard it nodded their heads.
There were not only one or two people who knew the inside story, but within half a day, the reason for all their dispatches this time and the speculation about the future commander had quietly spread in this team.
There are very few demons in this area, they are mainly concentrated in a large and vast area of the fall farther away, and it is different when you get out of this area, this team began to encounter sporadic lone demons, all of them look like one or two, and there are a lot of broken carriage wreckage, and the corpses of humans are basically different, most of the human beings who were taken away were whole corpses or living people who were used as sacrifices.
"Miss, will the person you invited really come?" At the front of the line, beside Miss Sasha, there was a person in line. This man is burly, in his thirties, with a majestic face, walking with Miss Sasha, like a father and daughter, he is the Bicard knight who has been leading this family soldier founded by Sasha's father, Sasha respects him very much, calls him uncle, and this Bicard knight has an upright personality, and has a great command talent, plus he is very loyal to the lord he assists, after Miss Sasha escaped with his family, he still chose to let him lead this army.
Miss Sasha knew that Knight Bicard was not jealous of the person who came to take over her command temporarily, but she was worried about whether the other party would agree and what her strength was, so she replied with a smile: "Uncle Bicard, don't worry, a person like him, since he agrees to come over, he will definitely not break his word, as for strength, being able to kill so many demons single-handedly has proven his strength." ”
“...... A single strength is not equal to command!" Knight Bicard was a little worried.
"Uncle Bicard, and you, if his command is not appropriate, you can take over. ”
Thinking about it, this is indeed the truth, and the knight of Bicard said no more.
Miss Sasha looked up at the sky, and gave another order, ordering the team to be a little faster, and she had already made an appointment with the Brave Squad to meet in the town ahead. It's never too late to rest.
At the same time, the Brave Squad was coming this way, but Romon was on an empty road and was not in their ranks.
To say that the brave team is really good at doing business, even if they come in a hurry, they also take a job, which is to escort precious goods for people and send them to a certain place they pass by, because they are on the way, so they earn a commission for nothing.
Fortunately, the captain of the brave squad judged very accurately, and they made up the appearance of a caravan, and the small caravan had no idea at all, even if some thieves saw it, they would think: such a small team may not bring anything very valuable, and there is no oil and water to rob it.
And ordinary little thieves, even if they want to rob it, with their strength, they don't dare to do it when they see such a group of people.
After the members of the Brave Squad escorted the things to their destination and changed back into the adventurer's costumes, they began to continue on their way. These days, they heard more about the Giant Eagle Druids along the way, and the entire team members looked like they were honored.
Soon, after a few days of travel, they finally came to the outside of the most serious area of the demonic disaster, to enter the most serious area of the fall, there will be several heavily guarded posts and towns outside, this is the way to enter the area of the fall, at this moment, in a very strong town, there are many passers-by gathered on the street, mostly some adventurers, their faces are full of anxiety. The Brave Squad didn't need to rush to the road, the meeting point with Miss Sasha was set here, so they needed to wait for someone. However, curiosity is common to all.
"What's going on?" asked the man next to him with a blank face.
"I'll ask. In the face of the captain's question, the team member could only shrug his shoulders, he was not a prophet, but seeing that there were so many passers-by here, there must be something going on in front of him, after saying this to the captain, the team member jumped off his horse and squeezed to the front to inquire.
Although the sun in the sky was not so hot, people who were in a hurry were a little angry because of the atmosphere of waiting.
"How's it going?" asked the captain as he saw the team member running back.
"The situation is a bit complicated, I heard that the situation of the demon disaster in the fallen area is more serious, and the adventurer team that wants to enter it needs to go through the assessment and make sure that it has the ability to survive and complete the task inside before being allowed to enter. The team member who inquired about the incident said with some annoyance.
Probably didn't expect that Miss Sasha's family's former territory was actually in the worst place of the disaster, so it's no wonder that they asked the giant eagle druid for help.
The people of the team, you look at me, I look at you, and their confidence in this mission is a little shaken.
"Captain, you said that the noble lady only invited the giant eagle druid, what are we going to do? "Someone is starting to feel remorse.
Captain Meng Kebai glanced at him, and said with some hatred: "Don't forget, we have an agreement with the giant eagle druid, where he goes on a mission, we will follow and clean up the lonely demon, and this time is also an experience, do you really want to be like this in the future, just to be an adventurer?"
This has been said very clearly, as for how much others listened, Captain Meng Ke didn't bother to say more, of course, that Hu Congling, only he and a few people knew, and the general team members didn't know, otherwise they wouldn't have protested.
Seeing that the captain was a little angry, the others didn't dare to say anything, at this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the brave team members looked back, the leader didn't know him, and the few attendants who followed him were the messengers he had contacted, and it was Miss Sasha who arrived with the family soldiers!
"Captain Munch, this is Miss Sasha, this is Knight Bicard, are you all here?" said the soldier in charge of contacting them.
"I've seen Miss Sasha. Met the Knights of Picard. "It is common sense for commoners to salute when they see nobles, and the members of the Brave Squad salute the leader Miss Sasha and Knight Bicard.
"Isn't the Eagle Druid?" Jumping off their horses and getting them to their feet, Miss Sasha asked with some disappointment, surveying their group.
"Miss Sasha, the Giant Eagle Druid is on an empty road, not with us, not ......"
As he was talking, he heard a loud eagle's cry in the air, and everyone was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly raised their heads, and sure enough, they saw a small black dot, moving rapidly from a distance, getting bigger and bigger......
