Chapter 21: Commander-in-Chief Again

Hulse also didn't know why the army had disappeared.

For hundreds of years, the clans and tribes in the Dragoncrest Mountains did not interfere with the water of the Empire's wells, which also caused the nobles of the Western Frontier to know little about them.

And those guys have their own language, just like the lizardmen in the Gaigu Swamp, unlike people in other parts of the continent who use the lingua franca to communicate, which makes it more difficult for people outside to communicate with them.

"I got a guy with the nickname Big Hand, and he's a groom." The acting city lord of Rock Snow City continued.

"You...... Why all of a sudden? Yin Leia was puzzled.

"Big Hand's mother is a wild man in the Dragon Crest Mountains, and she comes from a tribe called Big Palm, and it is said that the people in that tribe have very large palms, which is also the origin of the nickname Big Hand." Hulse explained.

"A wild man?"

"No, Big Hand grew up in Rock Snow City, and his mother fell in love with his father, but the Giant Palm Tribe did not allow people in the tribe to intermarry with people outside, so the two eloped overnight and left the Dragon Crest Mountains."

"Because of his mother, Big Hand is familiar with the Dragon Crest Mountains, and he can also speak the words of those wild people, if you want to go into the mountains, he should be able to help."

"Wait, you just said me, isn't it us, aren't you going together?" Miss Rabbit asked.

"My father's order to me before he left was to keep Rock Snow City, and he told me that I couldn't leave this place until he returned, no matter what happened."

"Although I am very worried about the safety of my father and other nobles and soldiers, I cannot participate in this rescue. ”

"And who's going to command the army?"

Miss Rabbit finished speaking and noticed that everyone around her was looking at her.

"Sir Yin Leia, you have brought the most people this time, and you are also the champion of the martial arts competition, and you have a peerless martial arts that no one can do.

"The most important thing is that when the black dragon was raging in the Western Realm before, you had already been a commander once, and led everyone to the final victory, so you are also expected to be the commander this time.

The female lord was a little dumbfounded when she heard this, mainly because she didn't know how to march and fight.

Although the decisive battle with the black dragon was heartfelt, it actually happened at her doorstep, Miss Rabbit didn't go out at all, and the person who formulated the strategy before the war was also Li Yu.

But the girl did not panic because of this, on the one hand, she has seen a lot of wind and waves now, and she is no longer as calm as before.

Isn't it just the commander of the army, although she can't do it, but she knows who can.

Du Lun - the former chief of the guard of the Royal Forest Army, all the Royal Forest Army is under his command, whether it is martial arts or commanding power, it is definitely the top, and it is naturally not a problem to command this group of nobles in the Western Realm.

And he happened to be in the accompanying team, and if he really encountered any problems, Miss Rabbit only had to go and ask him.

In addition, Li Yu also attached great importance to this matter, and sent a very luxurious team to help with several holy weapons.

It also gave the female lord greater confidence.

Thinking of this, Yin Leiya no longer hesitated, nodded and said, "Okay, then I will be the commander this time." ”

Huls was overjoyed, "I have sent it to Sir Morse, we have captured some savage captives in the previous engagement, most of them have been executed directly, but there are less than a hundred left.

"Sir Morse is interrogating them, you can go and meet Sir Morse first, he and his men are stationed outside Longcrest Mountain, they still have a lot of supplies there, and those things are now yours."

Yin Leia spent two days in Rock Snow City, four days before the deadline set by Huls.

But the female lord didn't want to wait any longer, mainly because there was still no news about Marquis Cullen and that army in the Dragon Crest Mountains.

And Rock Snow City has also gathered five thousand people here, which is already superior in numbers compared to those savage tribes.

There are still some territories that are far away, and if they can all come over, it is estimated that there will be another one or two thousand people.

However, at this time, half a month has passed since the disappearance of Marquis Cullen and others, and the ominous premonition that has shrouded everyone's hearts has become stronger and stronger.

Yin Leia is really worried that if it drags on any longer, even if she can find the missing army, she doesn't know how many people are left.

Therefore, after consulting Duren and others, Miss Rabbit decided to leave early.

With this army that had just been put together, he hurried all the way to Longcrest Mountain, and met Sir Morse and his three hundred men at Fort Fort.

The castle may have a defensive-sounding name, but it is neither very strong nor made of stone.

It was just a wooden castle that belonged to the Kovath family, a small family that Yin Leia hadn't heard much of.

Although Fort is located in the westernmost part of the empire, it is also a neighbor of the clans and tribes in the Dragon Crest Mountains.

However, because of the long-term friendly relationship between the two sides, and the fact that the Kovat family could not afford to build a stone castle, they have been living together like this.

Until not long ago, when the wild men came down from the mountains, the first thing to suffer was the Fort.

The Kowat family suffered heavy losses, not only the head of the family, Togla, was killed in battle, but even Togra's daughter, wife and sister were taken captive by the savages.

The only one who escaped was Togla's son, Wilkin, a twelve-year-old boy who was saved by learning to write in the town next door because the Kowat family had no special teacher.

When he returned, none of his relatives were gone, and his castle was burned down by the mad savages.

Later, the army came and temporarily requisitioned this place to store grain and grass, and Morse also built some improvised defenses nearby.

Obviously, he was not yet ninety years old, and he was still in the prime of life among the orcs, but those who were familiar with Morse found that when they met again, the middle-aged nobleman looked like he was dozens of years old, the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles, and his sideburns were white.

"Sir Yin Leia!" As soon as Morse saw the female lord, he could no longer control his emotions and suddenly fell to his knees.

"Please immediately take someone into the mountain to rescue the Marquis, they have been trapped in the mountain for more than twenty days!"

Miss Rabbit was startled and hurriedly went over to help Morse, but she couldn't help her.

It seems that as long as the female lord does not agree, he does not intend to stand up again.

Yin Leiya comforted, "Don't worry, tell me about the situation you have here." ”
