Volume 1 The Fall of the King's Power Chapter 135 Farce
At this time, it was late, and the rising crescent moon could be faintly seen in the clouds on the horizon, and there was no wind or rain tonight, which was different from the noisy day, and it was an ordinary night.
After the legion recuperated, a large number of scouts were dispatched, and even though most of the lords believed that the enemy was temporarily unable to fight back, they set up outposts several kilometers away to prevent the enemy from repeating the attack.
As for the soldiers who returned to the camp in the legion, they also laid down their weapons, sat around and chatted, waiting for dinner.
The cooks in charge of cooking were also cooking potato and mutton soup outside the tent, and even though the lamb was barely visible in the pot, the enticing aroma of the pot still wafted from the pot, making the saliva of the soldiers who had not eaten much in the day.
In order to divert their attention, the soldiers had to gather in twos and threes and chatted from time to time.
"Hey, haven't you heard, only half of the infantry brothers who went to fight the giant beast today have returned, and even so, almost all of the surviving infantry brothers are still wounded!"
"Don't talk nonsense, although this battle is tragic, but who doesn't know that those infantry brothers who returned from victory have been promoted by the empress to knights, although the position is not high, but they have also got rid of the status of commoners or slaves and become nobles, and now we see people to shout knights!"
Hearing this exciting news, the soldiers became anxious one by one, who didn't fight for the sake of promotion and wealth, and to make a wife and son? Now that there is such a good thing, it is inevitable that they will not be excited and excited.
"If only we had this chance to make meritorious contributions, but we are only archers, and basically we will not fight the enemy head-on!"
"Hey, who's to say it isn't!"
Their conversation was in the middle of a rage when the sound of the cook striking the rice pot with a spoon interrupted the soldier's conversation.
"Come on, try my craft!"
The cook slowly walked to the open space where the soldiers were waiting, carrying the steaming iron pot. The lid of the pot is lifted and it is steaming, which is very tempting.
Some soldiers couldn't resist the temptation to run to the cook's side with their rice bowls, and they couldn't wait to put their hands into the pot to serve the rice from the pot.
But before they could reach their supper, they were struck hard by a huge spoon.
The soldiers let out a cry of pain, and when they looked up, they saw that it was the sturdy cook who was looking at them with his waist crossed, and the cook held the spoon in his hand and scolded with a smile: "Didn't you hear what Her Majesty the Empress said?
"As if the Empire wouldn't go hungry!" a muttering voice came from the ranks.
When the cook heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is talking? Don't you want to eat?"
The chef questioned, and the audience fell silent.
The cook was very satisfied with his majesty when he opened the meal, and shouted to the soldiers: "It's time to eat, it's time to eat! Everyone line up and come one by one!"
As if ordered by the empress, the soldiers straightened up and lined up one by one, waiting for the cook to serve them dinner.
Russell stood in the distance on a gray dust, looking at this warm scene with a smile, this is a scene he is familiar with, and it is also a scene full of life, and a little human touch is rare in the bloody battlefield.
Carter rode up to Russell's side and reminded him, "My captain, if you delay any longer, I'm afraid your future subordinates will have to sleep!"
Russell then remembered that the purpose of his trip was to meet the dragoon knights, and he hurriedly shouted: "Let's go, it's too late!"
After saying that, Russell rode Ash towards the distance, but no matter how he drove it, Ash was the leisurely and comfortable appearance he usually had, and slowly paced forward.
Carlos and Charlotte behind him couldn't help but laugh, which simply detracted from the majesty of the head of the Knights.
Russell didn't listen to him at all, so he could only use his previous trick to find a carrot from his body and tie it to a wooden pole.
Sure enough, under the temptation of the food, Ash sped up and disappeared in front of Carlos and the others in a blink of an eye.
The group was shocked to find that Russell, who was riding in ashes, suddenly disappeared without a trace, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait for me!"
At the same time, the knights of the Dragoon Knights are cooking on a fire, and it turns out that the knights' station also has a cook, but their cook was slaughtered in the last Goblin Riot, so now they have to cook by themselves.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
A group of knights who are usually extremely noble are kneeling on the ground with their butts pouting at this time to make a fire, I don't know who chose this station, the ground is particularly damp.
It was difficult to burn even by relying on a flint and steel bonfire, so they thought of a stupid way to kneel on the ground in a circle and blow on the sparkling firewood.
The knights were excited, this was their first real cooking, and their hearts were filled with joy.
However, one of the knights, kneeling close to the ground, seemed to hear something, and he put his ear to the ground to hear what it was.
All he could hear was a "thump", what the hell was this?, the knight thought blankly.
Could it be the sound of the horse's hooves? The knight suddenly thought of this possibility, and hurriedly looked back.
I saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, as if a pair of cavalry were rushing from a distance.
The knight shouted to his comrades: "Look for weapons, there are enemy cavalry coming to sneak attack!"
The knights also saw the movement in the distance, and hurriedly ran away to avoid the cavalry.
The smoke and dust in the distance were getting closer and closer, and they were about to hit the fire they had so hard to rise, and on the fire there was their dinner!
Seeing that the cauldron of cooking food was knocked over by the war horse, some knights even involuntarily exclaimed: "I finally cooked dinner!"
The cavalry finally stopped, knocking down the fire.
The grief-stricken knights grabbed their weapons and were about to fight the cavalry.
They surrounded this group of uninvited guests, and the weapon roared to attack together.
"Wait!"
The cavalry at the head took out a badge from his body and held it up in front of their eyes.
The knights did not listen to him and stopped their attacks, but still rushed towards him.
However, one of the knight captains saw the badge, as if he remembered something, and shouted to his comrades: "Don't fight, this is a badge that symbolizes the head of the knights!"
