José met the Elder Rock on the morning of his second day in Boulder. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He and Maudon spent the night in the small courtyard arranged by Gould, and although he heard the tense movement of troops everywhere in the city that night, he did not pay much attention to it. Thinking of Gould's look and tone, it must be that these people were either preparing for war, or they were reorganized by the fat man by some means.

At breakfast the next day, José really got some words out of the mouth of a soldier who delivered food, and learned that yesterday Gould and Alok had reorganized all the soldiers in the city and unified them under the jurisdiction of the garrison.

Although the leader of the rebel army was under house arrest and control, of course an ordinary soldier would not know about it, but with Joseph's mind, combined with the understanding of the fat man's cunning methods, he could guess seven or eight points about it.

The big war is coming, and these guys don't obey the control, presumably this fat man left in a hurry to solve this problem. However, his speed is not slow, he is in such a hurry to solve the problem of soldiers in the city, is it that the war is coming?

.........

After breakfast, Jose was about to go out to walk the streets east of the city, and as soon as he and Xiao Maoton walked to the door, they saw a group of people walking towards the courtyard. At the head was a tall fat man with broad shoulders and a round waist, naturally Gould, followed by the young knight Martin, and at the end was a middle-aged man whom Jose had never seen before.

"Lord Joseph, where are you going?"

When the fat man saw Jose, he immediately grinned and looked extremely affectionate. He also stretched out his hands as he spoke, as if to give him a warm "bear hug".

Jose immediately dodged to the side, dodging the clutches of the fat man, and then said with a frown:

"You fat man is so attentive for no reason, do you have anything to ask me for? First of all, I don't do everything for you. ”

Gould smiled, ignoring Joseph's words, but turned to the middle-aged man behind him and said, "Look, Yaroke, this is the young Mr. Magician I told you...... Oh, Lord Jose, this is Lord Alok, the commander of Boulder Town's garrison. ”

It was only when Jose heard Gould say this that he noticed the middle-aged man behind him. This Aroque looked to be about forty or fifty years old, and he was also well-defined and resolute-looking, and he was indeed seven or eight points similar to that Martin knight in appearance. To José's surprise, this guy was wearing an Imperial military armor and a knight's medal on his chest, and José realized that this guy, who looked calm and dignified, was also from the Imperial Army.

The sixth-level knight can be regarded as a mid-to-high level in the rank of a warrior, but this guy's appearance and temperament are completely different from a rough soldier like Gould.

After hearing what Gould had said, Alok immediately smiled and said:

"I heard from Gould that he had met a venerable Magician on the way, and that he had the good fortune to invite us to Bouldertown, and my Alok was overjoyed. Originally, I wanted to come to visit Mr. yesterday, but there was a delay in some important military information yesterday, and I really couldn't get out. No, let Gould bring me here early this morning, if there is anything inconsiderate, please bear with me!"

Jose smiled slightly, knowing that this guy was polite, but he just nodded and said:

"Don't worry, Lord Alok manages the affairs of the whole town, and the military affairs are heavy, I naturally understand, how can I blame the adult!"

When Alok heard this, there was some surprise in his eyes, and when he looked at Joseph again, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"I've heard for a long time that Mr. Joseph the Wizard is young and promising, but I didn't expect to see him today, and it really deserves his reputation. To put it mildly, depending on your age, I'm afraid you're not older than Martin...... I had seen a few magicians in my early years, but there were few magicians as young as Mr. Joseph.

It seems that I and Gould, these old guys, are really not as good as you young people, but we are terrible in the future, haha......"

Aloke's tone was like an ordinary elder talking to a junior, and it was very natural and affectionate, which made Jose feel a little fond of this guy.

The group then entered the courtyard, and as soon as they sat down, Gould looked a little cramped, and Joseph saw that these men might not come to him for no reason, so he asked:

"Lord Alok came to me today, presumably something happened...... Is war coming?"

Aloke's eyes lit up, and he didn't hide it, he nodded directly and said, "Yes, I came to find Your Excellency the Magician today precisely because of this war. ”

He paused, then looked at Jose: "Since Your Excellency the Magician is willing to come to this Boulder Town to help us, I, Yarook, will not hide it from you. A few days ago we received news that the Macedonians had drawn a banner regiment from the front and had moved to the valley corridor to clear the towns occupied by the rebels in the rear.

The Macedonians moved quickly, and according to the information received in the city in the past few days, several towns occupied by the rebel army along the way were broken one after another. Yesterday, one of the rebel garrisons closest to Boulder had also been taken down by the Macedonians. The latest news I have received is that the total strength of this flag regiment has increased from the original 4,000 to more than 8,000!

Obviously, after destroying a town, these guys will draw a part of the army from a nearby county town. Now in Jushi Town, the total number of troops that can be mobilized is about 2,000 people, and the pressure to hold on to the city defense is not small. And this morning the spies came to report that the Macedonian army had marched to Boulder Town, and would arrive at noon at the latest...... If the Macedonians are besieging the city, please ask Your Excellency the Magician to help!"

Alok spoke in great detail, and Jose listened carefully, and he pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"That's natural, before I followed Gould to Boulder, he had already told me about the situation in the northwest. If the Macedonians were besieging the city, I would not hesitate to defend the city while I was in the city. ”

Hearing him say this, Alok was also a little relieved, after all, with the help of a magician, he naturally had a better chance of winning on the battlefield. If it is a powerful magician, it can even be said that it will determine the direction of the war! The strength of the magician is the consensus of the natives of the mainland of Ceylon.

Now that he had received Joseph's promise, Alok naturally wouldn't stay with him for long, and then Alok instructed his subordinates to say that no matter what the magician was going to do, he would try his best to meet the magician's request. Then he drew a dozen elite soldiers from his own personal army to form a squad, and they were responsible for obeying Joseph's orders and keeping him safe.

Naturally, Jose had no objection to this arrangement, and accepted Allock's kindness with a smile.

"You no longer belong to my personal army now, but are fully responsible for the arrangement of protecting the wizard Joseph, and his orders are Lao Tzu's orders, do you hear clearly?"

Aloke's face was very serious, as a commander, he should be considered a very prestigious kind, although the dozen or so soldiers who were transferred were assigned the task of protecting the magician, they did not show any dissatisfaction or doubt, but all of them were determined in their eyes and accepted the military order in a loud voice.

Alok glanced at them with satisfaction, pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Besides, Martin, you will be the leader of this team! The military order is still the same, what Wizard José says is what I say, you have to keep him safe, if there is anything wrong, I only ask!"

Although Martin was a little surprised, the young knight immediately gave a solemn military salute and replied loudly, "Yes, my lord!"

José secretly glanced at Aloke, this man looked calm, but Gould on the side was a little surprised, and explained to José with a smile: "Although Martin is young, he is also a genuine sixth-level knight of the continent, with him by your side to protect, it seems that this guy attaches great importance to you......"

When Jose heard this, he also smiled at Aloke, but secretly admired in his heart:

This Aloké is very good at being a man. handed over all his sons to be his bodyguards, no wonder he was able to grow stronger and stronger in this chaotic army. It is also quite a bit of a general's temperament and means, maybe in the chaos outside the Northwest Pass, it may not be impossible to become a climate...... (To be continued.) )
