Chapter Forty-Seven: Wooing (II)
The border formalities are done at a simple checkpoint, which is a bridge, and the exit formalities are carried out from this side and the entry formalities are carried out there. However, the bridge is not wide, so a load-bearing beast accounts for more than half, and if someone on both sides wants to cross at the same time, someone has to be sent to coordinate.
After completing the formalities, the checkpoint personnel of the Water God Empire simply looked at the number of goods and waved their hands to let them go.
The caravan is still the same as before, the wolf army is responsible for the goods, and the blood is responsible for the perimeter guard. There won't be any thieves near the level, and the road is relatively easy.
After Ruohan, the team was a little thin, but everyone was full of energy. After cultivating for so many days, it's no wonder that the spirit is insufficient.
In front of it is the border city of Kreston, the border city of the Water God Empire, which is smaller than Gusby. Although the distance between Gusby and Kreston is less than a day's journey, there is a long no-man's land after Kreston, which is about ten days' journey, so the average caravan will take a break here and take a break before entering the no-man's land.
It is really worthy of the land of the Water God Empire, and even there are several small rivers running through the city, and some houses are built along the river, which looks very interesting.
The people of the Water God Empire all look very elegant, especially some people who seem to be rich and noble, and they are quite dusty.
Wang Feng also likes it here, which makes Wang Feng feel like a small city in the south of the Yangtze River. Wang Feng traveled all over the world after being demobilized, and lived in Jiangnan for a while, and he liked the feeling of tranquility and warmth like a small jasper.
I sat in the inn with Linda and didn't go out, I sat by the meandering stream at the door, and ate some special food here, which felt really comfortable.
There was no one around, only the sound of the water.
Leaning on Wang Feng's arms, Linda and Wang Feng quietly enjoyed such comfort and tranquility for a while, and then they spoke.
After chatting for a while, Wang Feng suddenly asked Linda, "What is a half-elf?"
Linda asked him in surprise, "Where did you know there are half-elves?"
Conn said that more than half of the elves had been found in the vicinity recently. Wang Feng replied lightly.
After pondering for a while, Linda organized the content in her mind before slowly speaking out.
Half-elves are a new race that comes into being after humans and elves marry by extreme chance. Originally, the offspring of the combination of humans and elves were either humans or elves, but I don't know under what circumstances, the product of the combination of the two is a new species that does not belong to the two races, they have the characteristics of two races, but they are not all pure humans or elves, such a race is commonly called half-elves.
Terrans and elves began to be very tolerant of offspring born of the union of the two races, but since some of the leading figures of the two races declared the half-elves to be the condemnation of the gods, the half-elves have become an undesirable race that everyone on the continent shouts about. Once a half-elf is born, it is either abandoned or burned to death.
It is usually difficult to see half-elves, and the half-elves that can be seen on the continent now are generally the descendants of the former half-elves, and the half-elves who are found to be captured will always be captured and sent to a specific official agency to receive a bounty. Half-elves hate humans and elves very much.
After saying this, Wang Feng finally understood the origin of the half-elf. For some reason, I suddenly felt some sympathy for the half-elves, feeling like their original selves, and they were not welcomed in friend or foe.
However, he still found a trace of the problem, what kind of half-elf needs to be guarded against with an army?
After resting for an hour, the caravan entered no man's land.
The no-man's land is like the mountain road in the Celestial Dragon Empire, uninhabited, but there are some small hills, and the river network is dense, which is not suitable for the charge of large armies. It seems to be a remnant of the wars of previous countries. Even if the border cities are conquered, there is a natural barrier that can give the captured country a buffer time, during which the Water God Empire can be fully prepared.
At first, this section of the road was still very easy to walk, but after entering the no-man's land for a distance, I found that the road began to slowly blur, and I could only judge according to the direction. Fortunately, Dopp has walked this road many times, is familiar with this road, and has no trouble.
By the end of the evening, Bloody had already found a place to camp and was preparing for camp. At this time, a samurai came over and whispered to Wang Feng that someone was looking for him. After asking about the situation, let him lead the way.
Following the samurai out of the camp and coming to a place where the people in the camp could not see, Wang Feng found several acquaintances, it turned out to be a dragoon, Kulin with a few dragoons waiting for him here. However, only Kulin showed his true face, and the others were covered in visor. Behind are the mounts of several people.
Wang Feng still had a lot of respect for this master who was older than him but was very easy-going, and immediately stepped forward to salute.
Kulin is still the same, and he doesn't have the arrogance of the world's number one master at all. Affectionately took Wang Feng's hand, greeted a few words as he walked, and slowly left the dragoons and warriors.
When he arrived at a suitable place to sit, Kulin beckoned Wang Feng to sit down, and this was the beginning of the formal topic.
Before he could say what he meant, Kulin first sighed: "Brother Wang Feng, you are really getting more and more incomprehensible, you really cultivated that berserker." ”
Wang Feng smiled lightly and said, "They are originally very good warriors. ”
Kulin also sighed, "Yes, they were originally warriors. The lads we used to die were also good fighters. "It's embarrassing.
Wang Feng smiled: "Do you regret giving them to me?"
"Regret? How could it be, if they stayed in the Cave of Trials, that would be the real regret! They are good lads, and they can't lose their lives because of such a slim hope. You saved their lives, and I'm grateful that you're too late, how can you regret it. ”
Speaking of this, Kulin smiled mysteriously again, and continued: "Not only that, but you also trained them very well, Isha and a few of them came back and said that they were very powerful now, and easily knocked down one of their brothers on the ground, what kind of kung fu is that?"
Wang Feng heard them talk about this matter, and said lightly: "It's just a simple Luohan boxing." ”
"Luohan Fist, simple, little brother, you are really inscrutable, what is more powerful, can you let me see it?" said Kurin with a smile.
Knowing that he accidentally leaked his mouth, Wang Feng also smiled and said: "Some small things that are not in the hall of elegance are difficult to make the Fang family smile." ”
Kulin didn't press, but asked, "How are you doing on the mainland lately?"
"It's okay, it's still good to be my mercenary. Wang Feng knew that the play meat was coming, and replied painlessly.
Kulin also looked profound, and continued to ask: "You already know about the situation on the mainland, you don't need me to help you introduce it again, right?"
Wang Feng acquiesced, and Kulin continued: "Since all the countries on the continent signed that agreement, all the countries have sent their strongest forces out, and for a while, the countries have been unable to maintain the war, and everyone has maintained a balanced situation. However, each country has its own mind, and this situation will not last long. ”
"You mean there will be a war?" Wang Feng felt a little excited when he thought of the war.
Kulin still smiled and said, "It seems that my guess is right, you must have been an excellent soldier before, and you were so happy even when it came to war." ”
teased Wang Feng for a while, and then said: "But this time, because of the great injury of national strength, the countries have been peaceful for so long, but the difference in beliefs has made all countries accumulate strength in secret, fighting openly and secretly. The most intense is between the Celestial Dragon Empire, the Dragon God Empire and other Divine Empires. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Feng couldn't help but ask, "Don't you believe in the Dragon God, how can you have a conflict with the Holy Empire?"
"Dragon God!hahaha, the reason why we are called the Dragon God Empire is because we cooperate with the Dragon Clan to create dragon warriors. The dragon god is the god of the dragon family's beliefs, and what does it have to do with us humans, but because of the cooperation with the dragon family, we also show respect for the gods of the dragon family, and we can't talk about faith. When it comes to faith, what we believe in is strength. ”
Wang Feng sighed and asked, "So, you and the Heavenly Dragon Empire are allies?" At this time, the relationship between the two countries was already clear.
Kulin nodded, and continued, "From the first time you came to the Trial Cave, the elders of the clan have been very satisfied with you. You have also saved those among us from the fate of those who are destined to die, and the dragoons are no longer a race that draws their fighting power from other dead comrades, nor do they have to suffer the mortal pain of those who lose. And you've built another trial hole for us, allowing us to train twice as many people every year, and you've been instrumental in that. We are very grateful. "Thank you again, it shows that they are really grateful to Wang Feng.
"This time, we were pleasantly surprised to find that our young men who failed to fuse dragons not only did not get depressed because they couldn't become dragoons, but also regained their great strength. Once again, Kulin brought the conversation back to the wolf warriors.
Wang Feng smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”
Ku Lin was very embarrassed and said: "Our dragoons have always been a powerful force in training, and such a force on the battlefield is invincible and invincible, which is also the reason why the dragoons are the strongest warriors on the continent." However, the last time your samurai competed against their brothers, you made us discover another way of strength, I think it is, called... It's called..."I couldn't think of the right words to describe it for a while, but this time he made a point of emphasizing 'your samurai'.
"Skill, this way is skill. Wang Feng continued the topic for him.
"Yes, skill. Kulin was a little excited, "We used to be superstitious about great power, and now we find that something is wrong, and the skill you said can make those who are not very powerful exert their strength beyond his strength, which is also something we have always wanted to achieve but have not been able to achieve." ”
Wang Feng shook his head and said: "There is nothing wrong with strength, on the battlefield, only absolute strength is the guarantee of true victory." In the face of thousands of troops, any skill has no effect, only strong strength is the basis for ensuring their survival. You have learned the strength in the war, and there is nothing wrong with it. And your power is absolutely overwhelming, and no one can threaten it head-on. ”
Kulin smiled and said, "This is a good statement, but if you are facing an enemy of equal strength, then the skill is very useful. I believe that when you were on the battlefield before, you didn't rely entirely on strength. Wang Feng couldn't refute this, so he could only nod.
Seeing Wang Feng's admission, Kulin was very happy and said, "I know that it is presumptuous to make this request now, but in order not to lose in the next war that has been brewing for a long time, I must make this request to you. ”
Wang Feng knew that Ku Lin must have a request this time, so he was not surprised at all, and said with a smile: "Say, your request, if possible, I will definitely do it." We're friends, aren't we?"
Kulin Zhengse said: "This is not only my request, but also the request of all the dragoons, but also the request of the entire Dragon God Empire. Kulin put the word request very seriously.
Said to Kurin very seriously: "I understand, please speak." ”
"We owe you a favor before, so we're ashamed. Having said that, the plea was spoken, "We want to learn your technique, your simple Luohan boxing and a little better." ”
The words are very straightforward, without a trace of turns: "Our strength has reached the extreme, and if we want to break through in strength, we can only consider it from other directions, and you have made us see hope, so we ask you to teach us these skills." ”
The always arrogant dragoons bowed their heads this time: "In return, we will do something for you." First, the smuggling routes of the cities on both sides of the Trials Swamp will be exclusively protected by the Wolf Army, and any smuggling team not protected by the Wolf Army will be attacked by the destruction of our reserve dragoons. The wolf army only needs to use a guide to lead the way through the trial swamp at a time, and the safety of the team will be protected by the reserve dragoons throughout the process. In this way, it is estimated that the income of the wolf army on this smuggling route will be nearly one million gold coins per year. ”
Stopping Wang Feng, who was about to speak, Kulin continued: "Don't shirk, this is the unanimous decision of the Council of Elders and the Patriarch, as a reward for saving the lives of these young men, and also for placing some deposits for those excellent young men you want to save every year in the future." Moreover, the strength and development of the wolf army is also the result of our hope, the stronger our friends, the stronger our alliance will be. ”
"In addition, the Dragon God Empire will give you the position of the Chief Instructor of the Empire, and the Patriarch will personally grant you an official position. Cullin continued.
Wang Feng was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Patriarch?"
Kulin smiled: "It is also His Majesty the Emperor of our empire. Wang Feng's heart was suddenly in his heart.
"It is estimated that the Heavenly Dragon Empire will also have some arrangements for you, I hope you don't refuse. This time Kulin said this question very seriously, "The strength of the alliance must be enhanced, we only have two countries, the Dragon God Empire can produce twice as many dragoons every year in the future, but the Heavenly Dragon Empire has the greatest vitality, as long as you can help, the Heavenly Dragon Empire can also recover a certain strength in a short period of time." ”
Wang Feng didn't speak, and Kulin continued: "We have sent people to negotiate with the Celestial Dragon Empire, and they will also give you the position of the chief instructor of the empire in the near future, with this position, you can run rampant in the two empires." ”
Knowing that Wang Feng would not reply immediately, Kulin continued: "Our Dragon God Empire now owes you two favors, any time, as long as you bring it up, we will use the power of the entire empire to achieve it for you." ”
This is a bit big, an empire says so, which shows the importance of Wang Feng. Even Wang Feng couldn't help but be moved, what he had learned from his former companions in the wolf army was originally for his own reference and discussion, and he was so valued here. The essence of hundreds of years of martial arts precipitation is really not to be underestimated.
In this world, no one will pursue him for teaching other people's martial arts privately. Although he used to be the boss in the wolf army, he never broke off the idea of being recognized by the state, so he stayed in the wolf army until he was demobilized and did not consider defecting. Now that there are two empires expressing their recognition of themselves in one day, although Wang Feng did not express it on his face, he still has a sense of pride in his heart.
However, soon, Wang Feng recovered from this excitement and recovered the state of mind that was not wavering.
The current situation is very clear, the two empires of one of the two alliances of the continent are already coincidentally pulling themselves together, and the opposing alliances do not know what it looks like. However, even if another alliance comes to woo him, can he agree? After all, he has his own friends and lovers here, can he really let them go over there?
Thinking of this, there is no need to choose by himself, Wang Feng also let go of the problem in his heart, since he has no choice from public or private, why bother to choose. Instant relaxation.
Seeing Wang Feng's smile, Ku Lin was also very happy, and said while the iron was hot: "I brought a few new dragoons this year, let them follow you first, and also join the wolf army, and listen to your orders." When you have time, point them out. ”
Wang Feng nodded, and suddenly thought of a question: "They won't bring dragons, so don't everyone know that there are dragoons in the wolf army, will it affect you?"
"It doesn't matter, they don't usually ride dragons, Long Ping said that he can follow them in the air, and no one will find out. And if there is anything, it will be more convenient if there is a dragon. Kulin dismissed his concerns.
After a sigh, Wang Feng suddenly smiled and said, "Are there many such state-supported mercenary groups on the mainland?"
Kulin nodded and said, "Of course, each country will support a few mercenary groups as a secret force. Moreover, if the average country needs to do something inconvenient for the country, they will also ask the people of these mercenary groups to come forward. ”
The two chatted a few more words, and Kurin suddenly said, "We saw a group of people going around in front of you, which may be unfavorable to you, so you should be careful." Wang Feng immediately thought of the arrogant officer, what a trouble.
King Feng said slyly: "Since you have found out, help me solve it at once, I don't know what to do with those dragoons, this time it should be a test for them." Since they want to move us, let's not leave us alive. ”
