Chapter 101: Golden Armor
"You don't have to be so negative," Jose shook his head: "After all, it's just a guess now, what is going on, and we will have to wait for Martin, who is investigating the news, to come back to figure out the plans of the Macedonians." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"I hope so," Alok frowned, and was about to say something, when Gould hurried into the hall and shouted at Alok and José, "It's back, the cavalry that went out of the city to investigate is back!"
When Alok heard this, his expression was immediately solemn, and he said, "Let them come in!" The fat man waved his hand: "I have already brought their team leader over, come in!"
After Gould finished speaking, a cavalryman in light armor strode in outside the door. He gave a military salute to Yarok and Joseph, and then said: "Report to Lord Yarook, I am the captain of the third cavalry squad under Lord Gould of the garrison, and three days ago I was ordered by my lord to investigate the situation of the Macedonian army in Moxi Pass, and now I will report to you on our investigation!"
Alok shook his head and waved his big hand: "Don't talk about this, just tell me the results of your investigation this time!"
"Yes, sir. The cavalryman nodded, his leather armor uniform was covered with thick gray dirt, and it seemed that he had indeed been in the dust all the way, and his young face was also a little tired, but his expression was resolute.
"Our team of twenty men set off three days ago, and according to Lord Gould's instructions, we were the first to set off. Judging from the situation of the brothers along the way from Boulder Town to outside Moxi Pass, it seems that the Macedonians are gathering outside the pass in an organized manner, whether it is in the counties along the way or the Macedonian army stationed abroad.
Some of the displaced people who had fled from the large county town said that the Macedonian army outside the pass had plundered the city's property. The towns under the county were fine, but almost all four counties were emptied by the Macedonians. My lord, don't you see, now there are almost everywhere on the road outside the gate, and gangs such as bandits are even more rampant, and on the way back, we met several groups of bandits.
However, most of them were small groups, and when they saw our cavalry and their weapons, they didn't provoke us. But those ordinary homeless people are probably not so lucky......"
When he said this, he couldn't help but scolded with some grief and indignation: "Damn, the whole outside the border has been plagued by these damn Macedonians!"
When Alok and Gould heard this, their faces became even more ugly, and Gould was so angry that he slapped the table fiercely: "Damn, these damn robbers, if I can get out, I will definitely cut off all their heads!"
Jose shook his head, but his eyes looked at the cavalryman: "Then, you go on, have you found out the main force outside the Macedonian Pass, what are the guys, and what are their recent movements?"
The young cavalryman was stunned for a moment, but looked at Gould, who was a little angry in his heart, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Master Jose asked you, why are you staring at Lao Tzu, hurry up!"
"Yes," the cavalryman hurriedly said, "According to our investigation outside the pass, the number of this Macedonian army is about 30,000, mainly infantry, and ......"
When he said this, he paused a little hesitantly before he continued: "The news we found in several towns near the gate is that the number of this army is the Macedonian Eighth Army, and the commander is Barcelus of Macedonia......"
"Baseileus?!"
Gould and Alok shouted almost at the same time, Alok was fine, but he looked surprised, and Gould jumped up directly from his chair, as if he had heard something incredible!
This is the case with Joseph's face confused, but judging by Gould and Allocke's reactions, this guy named "Barcelus" should be quite famous. However, in the case of the Macedonian kingdom, shouldn't it be someone like Alexander the Great?
After a brief shock, Yarok immediately looked at the cavalryman and asked with a serious expression: "Is the news reliable? How could Baselus's troops be in the West Pass, and the Macedonian troops we encountered outside the pass last year were not all Macedonian's Sixth Corps, so how could a Barcelus suddenly appear?"
"That's right, Lord Alok!" the young cavalryman also seemed a little nervous, but there was a sure look of certainty on his face: "We have visited several small towns, and the news is the same. Although we did not dare to get too close to the Macedonian garrison, the Turkut Fort outside the pass had already been captured by the Macedonians, and their Eighth Corps was stationed there, and the garrisons in several nearby places knew about it. And we also saw that the banner of this Macedonian army was indeed the golden banner of the Eighth Army, which cannot be wrong.
I heard that they also fought a battle with Lord Duke Casa in the Cold Spring Wasteland last month, and they won and lost each other, and then they have been in a stalemate. But during this time, they seem to have moved again, and now Moxi Pass has been banned, probably to prevent the Macedonians from seizing the pass and attacking the city again. ”
After listening to his words, Alok was silent again, and then nodded, and let him go down to rest.
"Lord Aloke, what kind of character is this Barcelus, why do I see that when you and Gould heard the name of this guy, their faces changed, this guy ...... Is it amazing?" asked Joseph with some curiosity.
Before Yarok could say anything, Gould had already looked at Jose with a puzzled expression: "I said boss, you don't even know about Barcelus?"
Jose glared at him, thinking to himself that Lao Tzu is not from your world, how can he know who this guy is. But he just shook his head and said casually: "I'm a magician, and I usually care most about how to prepare magic potions and other issues, but magicians don't care about any political issues! What is the origin of this Barcelus you are talking about, is he very famous?"
Gould heard some truth from what he said, and it was true that most magicians lived in seclusion, and it was normal for them to be eccentric and withdrawn, so he didn't say anything.
Alok listened to José's words, but his expression was also grim, and he said in a somewhat complicated tone:
"Baseleus was a Macedonian army commander, their most prestigious and prestigious general, and his Eighth Army was also one of the most effective armies in Macedonia.
Although I am a little reluctant to admit it, I have to say that this guy is indeed a powerful character. Because it is rumored that he has Macedonian royal blood, and the flag of this guy's army is inlaid with golden gold flags. So, according to the Macedonians, his Eighth Legion was called 'Golden Armor', and he himself was called 'Golden Armor Barcelus'!" )
