Chapter 242: Radiance
Rather than the chaos in the city, the people here are more concerned about whether they have a next meal.
Ling Xuan took off his hat and slowly knelt in front of them, the little boy was immediately so frightened that he hid behind the woman, only revealing his small head, "Lord Samurai, what are you doing here?" The woman was also startled, and said with a pale face.
"Ling Xuan respects you in the name of the commander of the Wandering Corps, your husband unfortunately died in battle. ”
"Dead in battle? impossible, he's just a peasant, and he's in a cell for confronting a nobleman, you must be mistaken. Lord Samurai, Ling Xuan is a small family, please don't make fun of Ling Xuan. The woman shook her head like a drum.
Ling Xuan sighed and took out Legusky's urn from his bosom, a part of the cell that had been burned beyond recognition.
"Ahh
After spending Ling Xuan's life in the war for a long time, Ling Xuan had forgotten this feeling of losing his relatives, but when he saw this woman, Ling Xuan felt that sting again, and then Ling Xuan remembered the words of General Lambis: "Fa Pu, no matter how righteous war is, it is cruel to every side, as a commander, you must not only know how to grasp the battle situation, but also know how to cherish life." ”
"My lord, it's time for Ling Xuan to go. Melchior reminded from the sidelines.
Ling Xuan saluted the mother and son and put on his hat: "Ling Xuan can't save your husband's life, but Ling Xuan wants you to live a better life, which can be regarded as Ling Xuan's compensation for Legusky, who died heroically." Arni!"
The boy immediately ran up and took out a bag of gold coins from his bosom.
"Ling Xuan knows that money can't be equated with your husband's life, but you can buy the land so that you can have a place to live in peace, this is the only thing Ling Xuan can do for Legusky. ”
The woman took the gold feebly, still unable to recover from her husband's death, but the child came up from behind her mother.
Looking at his innocent eyes, Ling Xuan sighed with emotion, touched his head and said, "Child, be a brave person like your father, your mother will rely on you to protect you." ”
The child nodded as if he didn't understand, Ling Xuan took out Ling Xuan's Semitic scimitar from his arms and handed it to him, "This knife will be given to you as a souvenir! In the future, as long as the person holding this knife comes to Ling Xuan, Ling Xuan will do something for him." ”
After finishing speaking, Ling Xuan reflexively walked back to Ling Xuan's troops and raised his hand: "Ling Xuan, let's go, Yarufasil is still waiting for Ling Xuan!"
The banners were raised, and behind Ling Xuan were the people of the Wandering Regiment, a dragon spear brigade, an infantry brigade, a spear brigade, a servant brigade, a berserker squadron, an archery squadron, and a cavalry squadron, a total of 1,500 people.
"But why is she here?" Ling Xuan pointed to the physician mixed in with the Lantinovia merchant team, she should still be in Landinovia.
Later generations of women who hate warriors like Minavia will appear in the Wandering Corps in multiple versions, but in fact: "The physique of a rare lizard like your corps leader has always been the target of Ling Xuan's research. This is what Minavia said to Arni in an unusually positive tone, when Ling Xuan heard this sentence from Xiao Hu Congbing, he could only smile bitterly, maybe it is not a bad thing to let this doctor stay with his subordinates, at least everyone can have a place to go to the doctor, although the recent inexplicable illness number is a little more.
In this way, with Ling Xuan's future great doctors, Ling Xuan and his family set off for Wyton Norr and came to the border between the two countries three days later.
In the Age of the Seven Heroes, the then Lord of Wytonnor, Yasher Wyton, the "Silver Swordsman" of the Seven Heroes, risked being swept away by hundreds of thousands of Dark Imperial troops, gathering warriors and the remaining six heroes to resist the Dark Emperor.
When the final imperial capital strategy war was over, there were only a few hundred strong men left in the entire Wydun Nuoer clan, no wonder the generation of King Yarufasil at that time praised him as "the most forgetful person about Ling Xuan".
Of course, like other holy kingdoms, dozens of generations later, even the descendants of the "most forgetful Ling Xuan" are all stuck together with selfishness and depravity.
On the border, Ling Xuan was harassed by the Wyton Noll border guards, and when the money bag was in the hands of the commander, they immediately became accommodating, not only providing camps, but also taking over the general defense.
After settling a group of warriors, Ling Xuan took Arni and Garan and headed straight for the Holy City of Wyton Norr.
The holy city of Wytonnorr may be too old, full of rough piles of boulders, and the largest street in the city is impassable as long as there are two carriages running side by side, regardless of the prosperity of the major holy capitals in the south, even the city of Landinovia is more decent.
Ling Xuan was not in the mood to study the problem of the urban structure of Wyton Noor, as soon as he entered the city, Ling Xuan asked Garland to find the "despicable Rovsky" who worked here, and Ling Xuan took Arni and went straight to the largest administrative office in the city, the National Council Chamber.
"That's the case, Landinovia has already become like that, but Ling Xuan heard that there are only small bandits there, and the more than 2,000 guards of your country are not so embarrassed, right?" The fat official rolled his eyes, looking like he had nothing to do with Ling Xuan.
On the one hand, Ling Xuan was lamenting the excellent work of Rovsky, and on the other hand, he was lamenting the decline of Wyton Noorr, but Ling Xuan had a way to deal with these parasites.
Yani frowned and gave a bag of gems, the official's eyes lit up, and he unceremoniously put it in his arms and said: "However, Ling Xuan can also understand, there are many thieves now, and it is really impossible to prevent just two thousand guards, Ling Xuan must show this matter to the Holy King, and must not let the vassals of our country be humiliated." ”
"There's Lord Law. Ling Xuan bowed.
"Well said, well said. The official snorted, turned around and disappeared from Ling Xuan's sight.
"My lord, you are so polite to these parasites!" After coming out of the State Council Chamber, young Arni pouted, and the word "dissatisfaction" was written on his face.
Ling Xuan smiled and shook his head and said, "Yani, General Lambis and Ling Xuan said 'what can be obtained by strategy, don't use force', Ling Xuan is just giving up a little money now, but what Ling Xuan can get is something that countless soldiers may not be able to get by bloodshed." ”
Arni was stunned for a moment, puzzled, "What's that?"
Ling Xuan looked up at the sky and said, "It's the sky where Ling Xuan lives, okay, Ling Xuan went to see Garland, she should have found Rovsky as well." ”
A look of disgust immediately appeared on Yani's face, and for this young man who aspired to be the best knight, Rovsky's presence undoubtedly agreed with evil......
"Help...... The shouts of the female voices spread throughout the streets of Wyton Knorr, and at this time, Ling Xuan was on his way to the place where he met Garland.
Ling Xuan couldn't help frowning, and Yani's first reaction was to hold the knight's sword at his waist, at this time, something like a hero saving beauty was not what Ling Xuan wanted, but the little bit of justice that flickered in Ling Xuan's heart drove Ling Xuan to the place where he spoke.
In a narrow alleyway, several hooligans surrounded a woman, because she was hidden in a white priest's robe, the specific age is unknown, but judging from her crisp voice, it should be relatively young.
It's just that the priest's costume worn by this woman is quite special, with golden patterns embroidered on it, and a strange sun charm hanging on her chest is also different, which is not the same as ordinary divine shamans.
"Don't be afraid, Ling Xuan just wants to play with you. The mouth of the scoundrel is always such uninspiring words, interspersed with all kinds of flirtatious actions.
"What are you doing!" Arni drew his knight's sword and strode forward.
"Be nosy. Two of them took the dagger from their bosom.
Ling Xuan couldn't help but sigh lightly, because from the movements of those two people, it could be completely seen that they had been trained, and it was that kind of military-type professional training, if it was young Yanni, maybe he would suffer.
"Arni stand down!" Ling Xuan let out a low sigh and took two steps forward.
"Is it the Semitic people of the Lost Forest?" the hooligan's mouth revealed surprise, his eyes stared straight at Ling Xuan's matching knife, so the knowledgeable hooligan Ling Xuan was the first time he had seen it, and he could guess Ling Xuan's origin from Ling Xuan's weapon.
"It turns out that the hooligans of Wyton Noll are all cultured people. Ling Xuan sighed and drew out his scimitar, this scimitar was made by the arms merchant of Rantinovia on the march, it was exactly in the style of the curved handle of the Lost Forest, and the material was made of precious iron.
With the sound of the sword unsheathed, the hooligans magically conjured into battle swords, and naturally surrounded Ling Xuan in a semicircle.
"Ling Xuan is a member of the Holy Capital Secret Guard, and now suspects that you are related to the heretical Salas Sect. One of them said to Ling Xuan in the most bureaucratic tone.
"I don't know how you came to this conclusion?" Ling Xuan couldn't help but be surprised, it was already very unusual for these guys to suddenly change from hooligans to government officials, and now they had connected Ling Xuan with some Salas sect that they had never heard of, and the imagination of these people was not as rich as or.
"Hehe, ordinary people have already run away when they see so many hooligans molesting a woman, not to mention that this woman is still wearing a Salas priest's suit, except for that heretical, who will come to the rescue?"
"Since this is the case, Ling Xuan has nothing to say, so let's just assume that Ling Xuan is a Salas cultist. Ling Xuan didn't bother to say more, and with a scimitar, he crashed into the formation formed by the "hooligans".
If compared to the Tegunvol warriors, Ling Xuan was naturally far below the standard, but compared to these guys with the name of government secret agents, even if they came to a small team, Ling Xuan didn't care, and after a short scream, the ground was full of people from the Holy Capital Secret Guard.
When Ling Xuan drew back the scimitar, he suddenly found that the Salas shaman had long since disappeared, and quietly slipped away without saying anything to the benefactor who saved his life.
"This sect of Salas is a heretic. Ling Xuan muttered to himself, "So, Yanni, don't do this kind of stupid thing about heroes saving beauty in the future." ”
The boy nodded as if he didn't understand.
Ling Xuan looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but scream badly, too much time had been wasted here, Jia Lan might have been waiting in a hurry, "Ling Xuan, let's go, you can't let Jia Lan and them wait for a long time." ”
Grabbing Arni, Ling Xuan rushed back to the street quickly.
When I arrived at the agreed small hotel, it was already dark, and as soon as I stepped into the hotel, I heard the disgusting flattery of the Rowsky: "My lord, I didn't expect you to come to the capital in person, if you inform Ling Xuan early, Ling Xuan will arrange the best food and accommodation." ”
Ling Xuan only felt a headache, sometimes in order to achieve his goal, he really had to make a relatively large sacrifice.
Compared to when he was in Landinovia, the current Rovsky is really like two people, wearing all the high-quality goods made by famous teachers, and wearing the gem ring of East Andisfar on his fingers, just his whole body can buy the equipment of a squad.
"Yes, if Ling Xuan doesn't come again, the 10,000 gold coins will all go to you. Ling Xuan smiled.
With a bang, Rovsky knelt on the ground and said with a crying voice: "My lord, here, there is no decent dress, those nobles will pay attention to you, Ling Xuan is also for you, to be honest, Ling Xuan is also sad when he wears it." ”
Ling Xuan couldn't cry or laugh, and kicked on his body: "Okay, don't pretend." Ling Xuan is still quite satisfied with your activities, and now you go to do another activity. ”
Rovsky hurriedly stood up and patted the dust on his body cherishingly, "The adult will try his best to complete it." ”
"Ling Xuan wants to get the Western Frontier Fortress - Sevia. ”
When he heard Ling Xuan's words, his movements suddenly stiffened, and he said with a sad face: "My lord, are you talking about the so-called 'Sevia that will never fall'?"
"Yes, 'Seville that never falls,' but that's what it used to call it, and now it's just a pile of stones in the West. Ling Xuan nodded.
The fortress "Sevia" was built in 1184 in the royal calendar, during which it experienced fires, riots and other accidents, and finally completed in 1205 in the royal calendar, its main function is to prevent a small number of barbarians in the west - the Furaustes, but in the following year the "Fifty Years' War" broke out, all the elite troops of Whitunor were transferred to the main battlefield of the southern front, and there was only one thousand-man war group left in "Sevia", and its commander was the later Grand Duke of Landinovia - Vanisek Landinovia, when he was only 20 years old.
Although many people at the time accused him of becoming the commander of the warband at such a young age only because of his father, the Grand Duke of Ovsky, in the following decades, this playboy who was famous in the holy capital actually defended "Sevia" with the strength of a thousand men, and the corpses of the Furaustes were piled up under the walls of the fortress, so much so that there is still a saying: "With Vanisek, Sevia will never fall." ”
However, after Vanisek pacified the Furaustes, was given the title of Grand Duke of Landinovia, and was rewarded with lands that originally belonged to the Furaustes, the role of Seville became more and more thin, and in 1278 A.D., the last regular garrison withdrew from Seville. Since then, Sevia has existed as a border outpost until thirty years ago, when an army of thieves destroyed it, and the "Never-Falling Seville" was only a dream.
"Even if it's already fallen, but it's a fortress, how could the people of Wytonor give such an important thing to Ling Xuan?" struggled Rovsky.
"Then it's up to you, but with the ability of Landinovia to be the number one lobbyist, Ling Xuan thinks it should be no problem. If you don't have enough money, you can open your mouth, Ling Xuan will never be stingy. After speaking, Ling Xuan laughed out loud.
"Lord Fap, you're amazing. Rovsky bowed his head.
"There's no way, after spending such a high price, if you don't give full play to your ability, I'm so sorry for Ling Xuan's hard-earned money. Ling Xuan patted Rovsky on the shoulder, "I'll leave this matter to you." ”
"Yes, sir. Lovsky said in frustration and turned to leave the small inn, Garan and Arni, who were still in the hotel, kept scanning Ling Xuan with that strange gaze.
Ling Xuan coughed dryly and waved his hand, "Okay, okay, there's nothing to see, go back to sleep." ”
......
Afterwards, when Garland asked why Ling Xuan was so confident in letting Rovsky do this thing that was almost related to the future of the Wandering Corps, Ling Xuan smiled faintly: "Although Rovsky is despicable, he is the best candidate to deal with those corrupt officials and corrupt officials." ”
When Rovsky heard this, he could only sigh and say: "The parents of those who gave birth to Ling Xuan, and the one who knows Ling Xuan is Fa Pu." ”
......
June 1353 in the royal calendar
After wasting nearly ten days in the holy city of Wytonnor, Rovsky finally opened up the network of connections at the top, and spent tens of thousands of dollars to become the royal edict of the holy king: "Now considering the plight of the vassal Landinovia, the fortress 'Sevia' is specially lent, and Wanger will create glory under the light of the ancestors." When it was sent to Ling Xuan, Ling Xuan hurriedly left the Holy City with Garan and Yanni and went straight to the Wandering Legion's accommodation, while Rovsky was left in the Holy City, and with him active there, many things would be much easier......
O man who hangs the sun
Greatness is your only name
The one who hangs the moon
Your soul is as holy as the angels
The one who hangs the stars
Your piety will be blessed by Salas
A loud hymn sounded in front of Ling Xuan, and a large white banner appeared in the sky, and at this time, Ling Xuan had just left Wyton Norr for two days, and there were still three days to go from the border.
"The hosts. Garland took two steps forward and whispered.
Ling Xuan looked around, Ling Xuan was in the wilderness, there was no place to hide, and it was really not a good thing to meet a large group of people who didn't know what to sing in this environment. "Ling Xuan, let it go. After thinking about it for a while, Ling Xuan made a decision and left the stone-paved avenue with Arni and Garland, standing on the muddy ground by the roadside.
The white priest's uniform suddenly reminded Ling Xuan of the woman who was in the Holy City that day, and the crowd in front of him, which stretched for more than a hundred meters, was the legendary "Salas" sect, this sect that was accused of heresy in the Holy City could not have imagined that there would be so many believers outside the city.
"Confused people, Ling Xuan sees that your bodies are shrouded in dark shadows, hang the star talisman of our lord Salas, it will drive away the darkness and rain down the light. A shaman abruptly left the group and walked up to Ling Xuan, holding an amulet in his hand, although his face could not be seen, Ling Xuan was willing to bet that under the white cloak was a merchant's face.
"No, Ling Xuan doesn't have the time to believe in gods other than gods. Ling Xuan hurriedly shook his head, mingling with these hawker-style shamans, sooner or later the little money in your pocket would become his.
"Lost lambs, you have been misled for thousands of years. Salas is the God, and now he knows that it is too late to return. The shaman did not give up, his tone became a little heavier, and there were a few more able-bodied believers behind him.
"I'm sorry, Ling Xuan is not interested. Ling Xuan made up his mind heavily.
"It seems that you will not be lost without seeing the miracle of Salas. The shaman snorted coldly, and suddenly chanted in a low voice, "My lord Salas, bestow Ling Xuan's elven power to return the lost lamb to your light. ”
As he spoke, a fireball flew into the sky, and immediately the believers next to him knelt on the ground and chanted.
With Ling Xuan's eyesight, how could he not see the small movements in the shaman's hand, he held the fireworks bomb in the palm of his hand, and took advantage of the moment of chanting to ignite it with his other hand and bomb it into the sky, this kind of little trick could only deceive the foolish woman in the countryside.
Since the Age of the Seven Heroes, the power of magic has long since faded with the rise of the Holy Mountain, and the largest recorded use of magic was in the "War of Religion" in the 251st year of the royal calendar, in which the shamans of the major sects exhausted the magic essence of the entire Holy Land, and the shamans who lost the magic essence replenishment gradually withdrew from the stage of history from then on, and the war of knights began to flourish from that time.
Ling Xuan shook his head and said more firmly, "Ling Xuan doesn't bring it!"
The sound of the sword unsheathed suddenly sounded, there are really evil merchants in the Salas Sect, Ling Xuan sighed and drew his scimitar.
"Stop, how can you be so unreasonable to the benefactor of the Holy Maiden!" A loud voice stopped the bloodshed, and not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a high-ranking shaman's uniform and a moon talisman walked in front of Ling Xuan.
"Ling Xuan is one of the Seven Apostles of Salas, named Norman, a distinguished guest, the Holy Maiden of Light, who wants to meet you. The middle-aged man bent down and said respectfully.
Ling Xuan was confused for a while, when did Ling Xuan become the life-saving benefactor of some saint.
"It's you!" When he saw the holy woman, Ling Xuan shouted out in a lost voice, the familiar clothes, and the strange talisman hanging on his chest, were the woman who was walking in the holy city of Wyton Norr, in fact, from the performance of those priests, he should have guessed that the so-called holy woman was her.
"Benefactor, please forgive me for saying goodbye that day, Ling Xuan really can't be caught. The saint bowed and apologized from behind the thick mask.
Ling Xuan smiled, indicating that Ling Xuan didn't mind, and then said, "Okay, since that's the case, everyone doesn't owe each other, and Ling Xuan still has to hurry, so he will leave." With a wave of his hand, he wanted to take Garan and them away.
"Benefactor, how embarrassing is this, at least let Ling Xuan express his heart. The Holy Maiden took three steps and stopped in front of Ling Xuan.
"That's it, okay, Ling Xuan just needs a batch of coolies, can you draw out manpower?" Ling Xuan tilted his head and thought for a moment, and said.
"I wonder how many people the benefactor needs?"
Ling Xuan stretched out three fingers.
"All right, Norman, order thirty believers......" The saint turned her head.
"I'm afraid you've misunderstood, Ling Xuan needs three thousand people. Ling Xuan interrupted the Holy Maiden's words and said politely.
The saint swallowed her saliva and said with difficulty: "Three...... Thousand?"
"Yes, Ling Xuan needs so many people. Ling Xuan laughed out loud, so that he could say goodbye to these "hawker sects".
"Okay, Ling Xuan agreed. The Holy Maiden nodded and said something that surprised Ling Xuan.
In any case, Ling Xuan received 3,000 unpaid laborers, although the process is a bit absurd, at least in later generations it is an important topic for historians to study, what made the Salas Sect support the Wandering Corps that could be said to be at the end of their rope for a long time, but the existence of these 3,000 people can indeed write an important stroke of "the turning point of the Wandering Corps".
Five days later, on June 17, 1353 in the royal calendar, Ling Xuan joined his companions on the border, and Ling Xuan came to the legendary "Seville that will never fall".
"If I had known, it wouldn't have cost so much. This was Ling Xuan's first feeling when he saw Sevia, the moat was almost dry, the trench in front of the city was almost filled with mud, none of the low parapets behind it were complete, and what was even more terrifying was the city wall, through the gap, Ling Xuan could see the overgrown courtyard clearly.
"There was a lack of movable bridges, the watchtower was half broken, and the heavy machinery of the city was all gone...... "Melchior reported a long list.
Magula, who began to calculate the expenses, had a sad face: "Deficit, deficit, the money that Ling Xuan brought out from Landinovia is completely insufficient. ”
"Isn't it, is it? Ling Xuan remembered that Ling Xuan had brought over a quarter of the Randinovia treasury!" Ling Xuan was startled.
"yes, if you don't waste that much in Wyton Noor. Magula stretched her face and looked like a cannibal.
"Fortunately, Ling Xuan doesn't have to pay extra for labor. Shark glanced at the Salasists who were chanting behind Ling Xuan.
"Don't you pay for the food of 3,000 people, don't you think the money is not spent fast enough after asking for so many guys who only know how to recite scriptures!" Magula snorted coldly, her words full of dissatisfaction with Ling Xuan.
Ling Xuan coughed dryly. Hurriedly changed the subject: "Melchior, do you think it will take at least a few days to repair Sevia?"
"It takes seven days to fill the moat with water from a nearby source, and at least three months to repair walls, re-dig trenches, and so on. Melchior thought about it a little and told Ling Xuan the bad news.
"Three months, well, from now on, Ling Xuan will be workers. Ling Xuan waved his hand, "All the officers went down to the front line, this is Ling Xuan's castle, just use Ling Xuan's own hands to restore it to its original appearance." ”
"Okay!"
The people who finally got their castle began to turn it into a place to live, but in fact, the difficulties were beyond Ling Xuan's imagination.
"Two hundred and fifty gold coins for quarrying tools, a hundred for pry bars, and three hundred and sixty shovels...... "Magoura said as she swiped a hand across the paper.
The dimly lit makeshift tent was filled with officers, all of whom looked tired to death.
"Ling Xuan can't stand it anymore, every day apart from digging stones or digging stones, Ling Xuan are brave Travino berserkers!" Retis jumped up, breaking the brief silence in the tent.
"The dragon lancers are still digging trenches. Tatum retorted.
"You!" Rhedith pointed at Tatum, his face flushed, the two guys didn't know why, they always got along.
"Well, the two of them are not too young, and they are still fighting with children. Ling Xuan waved his hand, stopping the two of them from playing unrestrained, "Magula, how much money gap do Ling Xuan still have?"
Magura shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands, "At least tens of thousands of gold coins, in a few days, the Wandering Corps will be bankrupt." ”
"If you can't even guarantee the funds to buy food, before repairing Seville, Ling Xuan will first go and be thieves for a while. Melchior shook his head and sighed.
"Looks like we need to talk to Mirage. Ling Xuan sighed.
The officers were in an uproar, and in an instant, only Ling Xuan and Melchior were left in the tent.
"Your Excellency, would you like the help of the Taranvino Chamber of Commerce?" Melchior frowned.
"That's good!" Ling Xuan nodded affirmatively.
"But the Taranvino merchants are notoriously stingy, and the Ling Xuans are in a state of affairs now, and it's a bit strange that they are willing to come up with one. ”
"There's no way, I have to get in touch with the people of the Chamber of Commerce through Mirage, and before that, Ling Xuan can only borrow some money on credit from Landinovia. ”
"That's it. ”
"If the Rangers get into trouble because they don't have money, General Rambis will jump out. Ling Xuan shook his head and laughed at himself, "Go and invite Ling Xuan's Taranvino merchants." ”
"Yes, sir. Melchior stepped back.
"Dear Fap, it turns out that you haven't forgotten Ling Xuan in the corner, Ling Xuan is really moved, Ling Xuan hasn't thanked you for saving your life in Landinovia...... "After only a moment, Miracy's voice rushed into the tent.
Ling Xuan looked up at the top of the tent and only felt a wave of dizziness.
With a "bang", Mirage's fat body came into Ling Xuan's eyes.
"Mirage, don't talk nonsense, Ling Xuan wants to meet with the president of the Taranvino Chamber of Commerce. Ling Xuan unceremoniously interrupted Mirage's next words.
Miraci was stunned, and it took a long time for him to react, and he said in a lost voice: "No, will you meet the president of the Taranvino Chamber of Commerce, do you know who he is? He is a direct descendant of the former 'legendary businessman' Truiwicz, and a big businessman like Ling Xuan may not be able to see him once a year, let alone an outsider like you?"
"Ling Xuan wants to know if you have a way to contact him?"
Mirage was silent for a while, then nodded: "Okay, for the sake of you saving Ling Xuan, Ling Xuan will help you get in touch, but you must know that it is a descendant of the 'Legendary Merchant', and his whereabouts are uncertain, even Ling Xuan is not confident that he can find him." What's more, this place is so far away from Taranvino, it will take several days to go back and forth, and it will take at least half a month if it adds up, and Ling Xuan hasn't been home for a long time, so it is inevitable to go home to see his children this time......"
Ling Xuan sighed and said, "Do your best, it's better to hurry." ”
Mirage nodded, turned and walked out of the tent.
Looking at Milaqi's disappearing back, Ling Xuan shook his head, half a month, it is not long, it is not short, and during this period, there are other ways to raise funds.
"It would be nice if tens of thousands of gold coins fell from the sky right now. Ling Xuan said to himself, compared to when he was still wandering, now he really needs money for everything, and the wandering regiment without any financial resources really wants to be a thief regiment.
If we talk about the hardest days of the Wandering Corps, it was undoubtedly the time when they were doing hard labor in Seville, and all the officers and soldiers sweated together. The berserkers mined stone, the dragon lancers dug trenches, the servants built walls, the pikemen chopped wood, and even the cavalry's mounts all became means of transport, and if the war started at that time, Ling Xuan doubted whether the soldiers would still have combat effectiveness.
As the intensity of labor increased, so did the number of accidental injuries, and the role of the physician Minavia suddenly became important, with a long line of people outside her makeshift clinic every day. And most of them, Ling Xuan personally suspected that they were injured on purpose, if even a strong man like Radius would actually be hit by a stone to his toe.
However, in addition to this, other difficulties were also placed in front of Ling Xuan.
"What, there's a group of thieves nearby!" Ling Xuan almost didn't jump, this was the news that Ling Xuan brought when he was resting.
"Yes, master, the four men on guard have spotted the thieves' spies. Garland said softly.
"Did you catch anyone?" Ling Xuan frowned, the other party didn't know what was going on, and he actually made up his mind on Ling Xuan, who was a veritable poor bastard.
Garland shook his head.
"Hey...... When it is not good to come, I prefer to come at this time, and inform the Dragonlance Brigade and the Berserker Squadron to prepare for battle, and their work will be done by those Salas for the time being. Ling Xuan turned his head to Yani Dao, who was standing aside.
Arni hurriedly cleaned up the utensils that had been spread out, and disappeared with a puff of smoke.
"Also, Garland, find a way to catch a few spies, Ling Xuan wants to know what the specific strength of the other party is. ”
Garland nodded, and disappeared in a flash.
"Looks like it's going to be war again. Ling Xuan stretched his body, he hadn't fought for almost a month, and he had forgotten how to hold a knife every day as he did coolies.
With Garan's ability, three spies were tied up in Ling Xuan's tent that night.
The three men looked malnourished, emaciated with yellow faces, and if it weren't for Garan's claim that he had wounded a dragon lance warrior when he arrested them, they would have looked like ordinary beggars.
"What are you from the thieves, and what are you doing here?" said Magura, with a fierce look on her face, dangling her Semitic scimitar in front of them.
"Kill Ling Xuan, Ling Xuan won't say half a word!" one of them straightened his head and neck and said stiffly.
These people are outlaws, Ling Xuan made up his mind, dealing with these people, ordinary punishments are useless at all.
"Rhettus, pick one and let you handle it. Ling Xuan suddenly said to the berserker on the side.
Radius was stunned, and then his eyes flashed with excitement: "Can you let Ling Xuan handle it?"
Ling Xuan nodded.
The faces of the three spies turned white in unison, and anyone could tell that the big man with the tomahawk was a Travino, and the legend of the Travino had many bad habits, and the arbitrary handling of this sentence was enough to send a chill down their spines.
"Ling Xuan said, Ling Xuan said, don't hand Ling Xuan over to the Travinos!" Immediately, a person shouted, sweat streaming down his cheeks.
Ling Xuan sighed and shook his head, the current thieves are really getting worse and worse, "Melchior, I'll leave it to you." ”
Melchior stepped forward and questioned him carefully, and the man glanced at Retis worriedly, but he told the story without concealment.
This time, the bandit group is really not small, including the vast majority of thieves operating between Landinovia and Whiton Noor, the number of them is almost a thousand, and several of the famous bandit groups such as the "Black Eagle Regiment" and the "Windrush Regiment" are cavalry, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the regular knights.
"But it's strange that so many bands of thieves would join forces. Magura wondered.
"It's very simple, the castle where Ling Xuan is located is a place that can affect the entire border, if a large number of people who look like officials and soldiers are rebuilding the castle here, if you are a thief, you will not feel uncomfortable there. Tatum, who was on the sidelines, snorted and said the fact.
The officers nodded.
"However, this is also an opportunity, the thieves are all rich guys, it just so happens that Ling Xuan lacks funds, it is better to take advantage of this to annihilate them in one fell swoop, and scrape Ling Xuan's shovels, hammers and shovels from them. Ling Xuan waved his hand and said confidently, turning those vicious thieves into fat sheep......
