Chapter 1400: The Fat Sheep Delivered to the Door
In the early morning, the sun had not yet risen, but a touch of fish white appeared on the edge of the land.
The mountains and forests were quiet, with a faint layer of white mist wafting between the trees, except for the occasional birdsong or two.
On the edge of the forest road, a head slowly poked his head out of the dead grass, looked into the distance twice, and then pursed his lips, and also made a few birdsong of 'chirp, chirp'.
He was wearing a grassy green shirt, and the clothes were also covered with a lot of dead grass, disguised like a dragon, hidden in the dead grass, and if he hadn't walked past him, he wouldn't have been able to find it at all.
He looked into the distance, watched the other end of the road disappear into the mist, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Next to him, another person poked his head out and said softly: "Shuk, Robin's information is unreliable, we have been here all night, but we haven't even seen a single insight." β
His voice was not high, but it was a little harsh in the quiet forest.
Shuk glanced back at him, then lowered his voice and said, "Bit, don't worry, I've been with the boss for so many years, and he has never made a mistake." β
Bit lay on the ground, twisted his body, changed into a comfortable position, and said, "Shuk, it's not that I'm in a hurry. You also know that now Lord Luo ...... He led his troops into the city of Dikich.
The dog aristocrats all ran away, ran away. Each one has a lot of softness. It's a good time for us to start.
Besides, even if they don't bring anything, just by virtue of that head, they are out-and-out big fat sheep.
I've seen the red list issued by the Holy See, and there is a random copy of it, all of which are hundreds of gold coins......" Shuk raised his hand and slapped him on the head, and said: "Shut up, hundreds of gold coins, you are embarrassed to mention it~!" He paused, looked at Bit's inexplicable appearance, couldn't help sighing, and then said: "If you kid weren't my brother-in-law, I really wouldn't want to take you out."
Do you think Boss Robin hasn't seen the red list?
Why would he want us to stay on this path, you know?"
Bit couldn't help but be stunned.
"This road is not wide, but it is extremely secret, and it is the only way to get from the city of Dikich to Drosi. β
Bit's mouth suddenly opened wide in surprise, thought for a moment, and then said quite unconvinced: "Who said, aren't there still two roads in Kick City and Dos City." From them it is also possible to go to De Rossi. β
Xiuke glanced at him with disdain, and then said, "Do you think that master ......?"
As he spoke, he skillfully drew a cross on his chest, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at Yao, and then continued: "Do you think that master eats a thousand meal......s? What does that saying come about, sitting cross-legged on the kang and doing a little calculation, you can make an army thousands of miles away win the battle.
The best thing he is at when he enters the family is to close the door and beat the dog. Can't you think of sending troops to block the roads in those two cities?"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Bit quite proudly, and this was not actually what he came up with, but the answer he got when he asked Robin the same question.
Bit opened his mouth, stunned for a moment. Then retorted: "Only this road is rough and difficult, and it is very secretive." Those outsiders definitely don't know, and I don't think even the local ones know much. β
Xiuke glanced at him dissatisfied, and then said, "Do you think Boss Robin is eating a thousand meals outside?"
Bit couldn't help but be stunned again. Thoughtfully, he said, "What do you mean ......?"
Xiuke said: "Didn't Boss Robin catch a coachman a few years ago?"
You think, at this time, the soldiers were in a panic, and those nobles and old riches ran to the two cities with gold and silver, and found Lord Luo's soldiers waiting there.
There are pursuers in the rear, and there are interceptions in front. Those who are not in a hurry pee their pants.
At this time, someone suddenly came out and said that he knew such a secret path. And he volunteered to help them lead the way.
What will they do?"
Bit suddenly understood, and said, "They must be willing to spend a lot of money, crying and begging Robin Boss to show them the way." β
Shuk gave him an appreciative look and said, "You're not too stupid. Wait a minute, if there is a convoy of nobles and old wealth, you will follow my brother-in-law and me......" As soon as he said this, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, as if he had heard something, and then listened carefully for a while, and then approached Bit, and lowered his voice and said, "The fat sheep is here......"
After saying that, he pursed his lips and let out a few more 'chirping' bird calls.
Immediately afterward, there was a burst of birdsong not far away. He nodded in satisfaction and said to Bit, "Hurry up and hide it, don't be found out by the feed." β
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, grabbed a handful of weeds and put it on Bit's head, and then lowered himself deeply.
After a while, I heard the sound of horses' hooves trampling in the distance.
Immediately, several knights in armor emerged from the mist in the distance, followed by one carriage after another from the white mist.
The wheels ran over the road, making a rattling sound.
It was a long convoy of more than two dozen wagons. There were also more than thirty burly knights guarding the convoy on both sides.
Due to the long journey, their faces were all tired, and the god jΔ«ng was quite sluggish.
Xiuke looked at them and couldn't help but sneer: these look good, but they are all a bunch of out-and-out young master cakes.
Can a man who rides a horse crookedly make it into a battle?
He saw that the carriages had all entered the ambush circle, and immediately pursed his lips and let out a sharp birdsong.
With his order, a large tree at the front of the convoy fell with a bang, blocking the road ahead.
There was a sudden chaos in the convoy......
There was a hoarse voice shouting: "There is an ambush, retreat, retreat......"
As soon as his words fell, he saw a large tree at the back of the convoy also fall down.
Immediately afterward, a bowstring was heard.
Dozens of sharp arrows flew out of the trees and grass.
More than thirty knights were killed and wounded at once.
Youjin was panicked and desperately pulled the reins. The war horse roared and stood up. The knight on the horse was defenseless and immediately fell off his horse, unfortunately his foot was still caught in the stirrups.
Before he could pull his feet out, the horse was already galloping towards the forest.
Watching Najin scream and be dragged away by the war horse. The thieves present were all extremely sympathetic - the final outcome could only be dragged to death by the frightened warhorses.
The rest of the knights immediately turned their horses' heads and lifted the reins, intending to charge in the direction where the bows and arrows had come from. The archer has just fired an arrow, which is the skill cooldown, and now you can cut them to the ground by rushing over.
Although these knights were valiant, they forgot one condition, this is a jungle, and there are branches and branches everywhere.
They hadn't taken a few steps before they were knocked to the ground by a branch in the woods.
By this time, the thieves had drawn their bows and arrows again...... In just a few minutes, those knights had already been dealt with by them.
The thieves cautiously stepped out of the woods and grass.
As they passed by the corpses of the knights, the puppies were all very experienced in mending the knives.
They cautiously approached the convoy with their weapons in hand, and without waiting to speak, they saw the door of the most ornate carriage in the middle creak open.
Immediately after, Robin poked his head out of the middle.
He greeted the crowd with a smile and said, "Hi, hello everyone." I have a surprise for everyone. β
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled a fat man with a dirty face to the car door.
Shuk looked at the fat man, couldn't help but be slightly startled, and blurted out, "Canel, it's you." β
Then he looked at Robin and said admiringly, "Boss, this is a big fish." β
Robin smiled slightly, lifted his foot, kicked Canel off the carriage, and said, "You guys hurry up and clean up the scene, old Mura will be there soon with the next wave of big fish." Today, our buddies can catch one enough~!"
As he spoke, he jumped out of the carriage and slammed the door shut.
After Lorraine led his army into the city, ΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓ originally wanted to garrison Dikich's palace, but before he entered the city, the dead people took advantage of the chaos and chaos to loot the palace.
Those who entered were so ruthless that they didn't even leave the gold trim of the windows.
In order to vent his hatred, perhaps to cover up the evidence of the crime, he set a fire in the palace. Although it was discovered early, the rescue was timely and did not cause much damage. But the palace is no longer inhabitable.
In desperation, Lord Luo could only retreat and choose the second and turned the City Guard Mansion into his temporary headquarters.
The originally beautiful and tidy castle guard mansion became extremely chaotic at this time, and all the troops who came in and out were in a hurry.
The footsteps of the soldiers and the hooves of the horses trampled the beautiful garden into a mess.
The green meadows are gone, replaced by dust.
All the rooms were occupied by the officers and men, and a small single room might have to be squeezed into five or six, but this was not enough, and the officers and soldiers even pitched their tents in the courtyard.
Chūnrì's air is getting warmer, and setting up a tent won't be too uncomfortable.
The entire city lord's mansion, but all the places that were a little level, were occupied by the soldiers.
Uninhibited, the officers pitched their tents like a refugee camp.
The space between the tents was full of things, and the officers and men even opened fire between the tents, set up simple grills, and opened barbecue banquets.
The hall of the castle guard has become a command center, and the rooms are packed.
The telegraph group occupied a corner, the electric keys crackled, and the staff occupied the middle of the hall, surrounded by a sand table with red faces and red ears.
The head of the logistics department and the chief of the intelligence section waved their fists loudly over a table...... The soldiers carried ladders, sledgehammers in one hand and nails in the other, smashed nails on the walls and hung maps of the war zone.
It's more lively than the wet market, and you have to shout at the top of your voice to let Beijin hear you clearly.
And these soldiers are not very high, even if Sven is like Sandos, the cardinal, who has been in the barracks for half a year, he still has "fuck", "fuck" and other swear words.
These guys completely use this place as a cheap hotel, with cigarette butts thrown everywhere and beautiful patterned maps on the ground burned out of black holes.
From time to time, there is a "o-ah...... Phew", spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, and rub it vigorously with riding boots.
The air in the hall was mixed with the smell of smoke and sweat, and from time to time the smell of barbecue oil wafted in from the window...... The officers and men had been here for a long time, and they couldn't feel it, and when they just walked into the headquarters, they were almost so smoked that they couldn't breathe.
Lord Lorraine lowered his head in front of the sand table, listening to his staff officers report on the situation in the war zone, when a guard suddenly ran in from the door and whispered a few words in Lord Lorraine's ear.
Lorraine was stunned for a moment, then sneered, with a disdainful expression, and said, "These guys came quite quickly." β
The cardinal of Sandos was a little strange and asked curiously, "Dajin, what happened?"
"The original lord of the castle has returned. Lorraine threw away the red and blue pencil in his hand, straightened up and touched his chin with a layer of stubble, looked quite playful, and said, "Let's go, go and meet them." β
The attendants who were familiar with Lord Lorraine smiled slightly, with their understanding of Lord Lorraine, whenever Lord Lorraine showed such an expression, it meant that he was going to be unlucky.
Lord Lorraine hurried out with him, and suddenly stopped before stepping out of the gate, and said, "Go and find me a squadron of half-beast grenadiers, I haven't bathed for months, and the more hair on my face, the better." β
The attendant immediately understood, and secretly said in his heart: The lord's taste is really getting heavier and heavier.
Then hehe, hey, JiΔn walked out with a smile.
Soon a group of half-beast grenadiers in armor gathered in front of the door, and Lord Lorraine stepped forward to circle around them, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Let's go and see a few people I don't like, and bring out your most ferocious appearances, Lord I'm going to scare them today." β
"Yes~!" the half-beasts shouted in unison.
The captain suddenly scratched his hairy head, and said angrily: "Da Jin, just cut it directly." β
Lorraine spread his hands and said helplessly: "The needs of the united front, these few can't be slaughtered, at least they can't be cut openly." β
The half-beast captain showed a sudden expression on his face, raised his palm and made a downward gesture, and lowered his voice and said, "Da Jin, then let's put a sack and shoot him with black bricks, and pull it out to plant lotus." β
Lord Lorraine patted the half-beast captain on the shoulder approvingly, deeply proud of the excellent consciousness of his subordinates, and said, "If necessary, I will let you do it." β
"In the service of Dairi. The half-beast captain shouted proudly.
Lord Lorraine beckoned, and the half-beast soldier pulled out of the stance, carrying a giant axe as big as a pot lid in his hand, or a wolf's tooth hammer bigger than his head, and staggered out.
Outside the gate, a group of nobles in fine clothes gathered, and they surrounded the guards guarding the door, shouting and spitting in all directions.
Without waiting for Lord Lorraine to greet him, the half-beast soldiers rushed up and surrounded them.
The eyes of the nobles widened in fright, and they retreated several steps, and one of them screamed in horror and shouted, "Ghost o~!"
The frightened legs were weak, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, hiding backwards with his hands and feet.
The half-beast soldier surrounded them unkindly, gently shaking the weapon in his hand, hehe sneered, and the frightened cold sweat of several nobles came out.
Lord Lorraine, who was watching from behind, snorted coldly, and said secretly in his heart: That's all there is to it.
Then he waved his hand, motioned for the half-beast soldiers to get out of the way, and said with a big grin: "Which of you is the head?"
Entering the group, he trembled out of a middle-aged man, grabbed his hat with both hands and tightly covered his chest, moved forward one small step at a time, and said with a weak heart: "Below, the city lord of Dikich, Baron Huntington, Jer, Holtz, I have seen Marshal Dajin." β
Although they had never seen Lorraine, they could guess that the man in front of them was Lord Lorraine, who commanded the coalition forces on the Western Front.
"It turned out to be His Excellency the City Lord, welcome~!" Lord Lorraine said with a polite smile, and walked down the steps and took the initiative to shake Baron Holtz's hand, looking very enthusiastic.
This flattered Baron Holtz, and he secretly said in his heart: "Isn't this uncle as difficult to deal with as the legend says?"
"Please come in, please come in," Lorraine gestured as he pulled him into the City Lord's Mansion.
Watching a group of nobles disappear behind the door, the guards outside the door shook their heads regretfully, as if they saw a group of little sheep walking into the wolf's den.
Baron Holtz's first impression when he walked through the door was shock.
The garden courtyard he had spent a lot of money on was now turned into a barracks, and the rude soldiers were smoking cigarettes, sticking leather boots in the flowers he had once cultivated, pulling off a handful of branches and leaves, pressing them against the leather boots and rubbing the dirt on them.
There were even horses washed in the marble pool in the middle of the courtyard, and the cook placed the barbecue stand on the ground, and removed the wooden railing in the courtyard to use it as fuel, and the fire crackled.
Baron Holtz couldn't help but close his eyes in pain.
But this was only the beginning for the baron, and he almost fainted with anger as he walked into the hall.
The precious Parthian carpet on the ground was so dirty that it could not be seen from its original appearance, and the tapestries imported from the JΔ«ng Spirit Kingdom on the wall were torn into several pieces by nails.
The furniture was all folded down by the soldiers for tables, and a 300-year-old oak cabinet was split in half and used by two different departments.
"This, this, this ......," Baron Holtz shuddered, speechless.
Lorraine glanced at him and said, "It's a bit chaotic here, don't worry, the brothers will clean it up when they leave, and your Excellency can mention any comments." We will do so. β
"I'm ......" As soon as Baron Holtz opened his mouth, the half-beast soldiers around him immediately darkened their faces, their eyes showed a fierce light, and they picked up a sharp axe to scrape the hair on their faces, making a gurgling sound, and sneered while looking at the baron.
Baron Holtz showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, shook his head and said, "I don't have any opinions, you can use it as you like." β
But I was bitter in my heart, and said secretly: I can spend my own money on decoration, in this poor mountain and bad water, everywhere in a place where people are miserable, do you know how difficult it is to hold some money~!
Holtz held back the grief in his heart and said respectfully: "Marshal, Dikirch has just recovered, and there are a thousand things waiting for us, we want to take over the city as much as possible, start work, resume production, and benefit the people." β
Lorraine nodded and said, "The baron's sense of urgency to serve the people is really a model for my generation, and it just so happens that our coalition army is also in urgent need of local cooperation." β
Baron Holtz's face was happy, as long as the official position can come back, it is only a matter of time to make money, originally thinking that the territory that Lorraine and they have beaten will definitely not let go lightly, he is ready to fight a protracted war with the coalition forces, but he didn't expect Lord Lorraine to open his mouth and agree.
The magistrate behind him couldn't help but laugh, he didn't expect it to be so easy. I even laughed secretly in my heart, what kind of neighbor of the Hades King, a three-foot-tall and thin-skinned lord, but is that so.
didn't even take the opportunity to ask for a price, and it wasn't as good as a doorman in the yamen.
Holtz owes himself and says, "Thanks to the marshal, let's go back and reconvene the various departments." β
Lorraine nodded, and said, "The sooner the better, Your Excellency the Baron will do your best to prepare, and report to me after it is ready, and go out with the army." β
"Out of ...... Expedition~!" Baron Holtz was dumbfounded, and said in a panic: "I, we are magistrates, why are we on the expedition?"
Lorraine gave him a strange look, as if he was knowingly asking, and said, "According to the regulations, the local officials in the liberated area must organize a volunteer army to go with the army to fight against the demon clan and fight for the recovery of the entire continent. β
Baron Holtz asked blankly, "What rules, why don't I know?"
Lorraine sneered and said: "The United Nations has just been unanimously voted to guΓ², why, you don't know yet, but it's okay, now you know, go and prepare, we will probably only stay here for a few minutes." When the time comes, no matter how many volunteers you organize, you will have to go west with the army to fight against the High Priest of the Dead. β
Holtz gestured wildly in the air with his hands, almost speechless, and stammered: "But, we, we are, magistrates, we will not fight." β
They abandoned the city and fled because they were afraid of fighting, and when they came back, they found that they were at gunpoint and had to go to war, and they would all be scared.
Lorraine's eyes narrowed, and he said in an unkind tone: "Why, the baron means that you are unwilling to carry out the orders of the theater command." β
"I, we ......" Baron Holtz said incoherently at the moment.
Lorraine snorted coldly: "If you don't want to, I can change to someone who is willing." By the way, I would like to remind you that until the end of the war, all areas were subject to military control, and during the military administration, those who disobeyed the order were ...... Chop~!"
The half-beasts roared angrily, and all of them raised their weapons, pointing at the group of nobles.
Holtz jumped up in fright, touched his neck with one hand, leaned back desperately with his upper body, and said in horror: "No, I definitely didn't mean that, we, we...... It's a civil official~!"
He suddenly thought of an excuse and said hurriedly: "We are civilian officials, we can't fight, and we are only afraid of delaying the fighter plane." β
Lorraine touched the hard stubble on his chin, nodded, and said, "That's right, so be it, you can stay in the rear and cooperate with the work." β
Holtz nodded his head quickly, and couldn't wait to say in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, obey." β
Lorraine took out a copy of the document from his desk, slapped it into Baron Holtz's arms, and said, "Then you can cooperate with the work of the Military Control Commission for the time being, this is the task entrusted to you."
Let me first remind you that this is a military order, and it must be completed before the specified period, and you should know the consequences of not completing it. β
Baron Holtz glanced at Wen JiΓ n, and finally couldn't help it, his eyes went dark, and he snorted with a "hiccup".
Wen JiΓ n slowly fell, and the military materials and war funds on it were shocking to anyone who saw it.
General Lorraine glanced at Wen JiΓ n on the ground, clapped his hands, and said, "Oops, I took it wrong, who put the annual statistics here." β
