Chapter 213: Belonging 8
"Whew, what the hell!"
With a whining sound, the door was pushed open from the outside, and the howling cold wind immediately rushed through the body of the person who opened the door, and burrowed into the otherwise warm hut, blowing the fire and waking up the originally sleepy people inside.
"You guy close the door, hiss!" Close contact with the cold air, the dissatisfied person shivered, cursed in a low voice, the person hurriedly walked in, casually closed the door, through the crack in the door, you can see that the howling wind outside is rolling up a fine light rain like a cow's hair, galloping wantonly between the heavens and the earth, driving away all the warmth.
The soldier who had just walked in from outside approached the fire, and the guy who had been woken up immediately made room, he didn't want his freshly dried clothes to be wet by the rain on the other side, especially in this cold weather, the taste of being wet was too unpleasant.
The visitor comfortably squeezed into the warmest position, looked at the veteran who shrunk to the side, and joked while skillfully taking off his clothes and baking: "I see that you are from the south, and you have just emerged in our cold winter! When it starts to snow in two months, it will be called cold, like sticking a steel needle into your bones!"
"Shhhhhh The veteran did not answer the other man's words, but made a silent gesture and pointed inside.
The other party didn't react for a while, "My lord, which adult?" was glared at by the other party before he suddenly realized, and quickly lowered his voice and asked secretly: "Is it General Ed?
"Randomly assigned, you quickly dry your clothes and put them on. The smell is too great!" The veteran shrank back again, as if the smell of the other party was more annoying than the damp rain.
A soldier near the next door saw what was happening. couldn't help frowning, got up and opened the small door and tiptoed into the inner room. And quickly close the door to block the gradually fermenting smell outside.
The inner room was not large, only enough for a bed, and there was a large hole in the wall outside, which had been temporarily repaired, but the wind could not be stopped in the cracks.
He took a closer look at the person on the bed, and found that the other party was not asleep, but just looked up in his direction with his eyes closed, and then approached and whispered: "My lord, you better change places, at least find a room with a stove!"
Ed didn't open his eyes, but he could clearly sense the other party's expression. There was not the slightest spiritual energy fluctuation around, and he didn't even look at the insight skill, this was the cultivation he had given himself recently.
"New warm clothes arrived?"
His guard replied in a low voice, "Not yet, but it's on the way, and it should be there tomorrow." ”
"Have the frostbitten soldiers recovered?" Ed asked again.
The guard's reply was lower, "Not yet, the wound medicine and antifreeze oil that were just distributed for treatment." ”
Ed opened his eyes and turned to the other party, "Then give the limited conditions to those in need." Isn't this a normal thing, am I still afraid of this cold wind?"
"Yes, yes!"
"You haven't slept yet, come out with me for a round!" Ed said. got up and stood up, the guards hurriedly took weapons for him and put them on his body, and the two pushed open the door and walked out. A pair of soldiers who were roasting the fire outside saw Ed and hurriedly wanted to stand up and salute, but he pressed him down. "Rest well, I am not your enemy. Don't be so nervous!"
Talking and laughing, Ed opened the door and came to the outside of the house, the sky was covered by dark clouds, even the huge moon was completely hidden, the light rain was swept by the wind and drifted around in this bleak night, Ed deliberately did not turn on the spiritual protection, let the cold rain wet his cheeks, the whole person couldn't help but be excited, and his head became more sober.
Without alerting the guards who were resting in the hut next to them, they patrolled the small village that had been ravaged by the Ingiers, and in many places the scorched marks of the fire could still be seen on the surface of the houses that had been temporarily repaired, and the flowers and trees planted by the peasants in the front yard and behind the houses were also broken and withered.
Towards the evening, Ed led the team to this camping site, and what they saw was such a dilapidated place, and several soldiers who walked out of it fell in the mud and shed tears of sorrow, and because they could not find enough places to stay, Ed gave up his house to other soldiers who were more in need, and found a random place to make do with it.
In the past month or so, Ed's progress can be said to be very large or not big, the actual advance of the front is not as much as the cavalry in three days with full strength, but the area that has really been recovered is not small, like Ed who led the team out of the army is steady and steady, one village by one to drive away the remaining enemies, and restore the life of the Roland people.
But the closer you get to the border, the more people in the whole village like this will go to empty buildings, and the Roland people who originally lived here have either been captured by the slave team, or have already fled to the rear with their families, and the entire northern coastal area of Roland has suffered great trauma, and ordinary people may not want to restore their original appearance in ten years.
It was only in the further dissolution that Ed actually understood the tremendous destructive power of the war on the people at the bottom, which made him more aware of the mission that Delia insisted on.
Thinking of the last time he and the girl broke up, Ed felt more and more sorry at this time, "Obviously I have defeated the enemy's main force, so I should think about retiring after success, why continue?"
At that time, Delia faced Ed's private questioning, but she replied firmly: "The large army of the Ingirs is indeed gone, but there are still many outlaws who really harass people's lives. ”
At that time, I didn't understand that it would be good to lead the troops to fight and repel foreign enemies, and the rest was the security of the local lord, but what did he see along the way?
The gang of bandits who blocked the road and robbed, the mercenaries who were secretly catching slaves on the surface, and the robbers who were wandering around and harming the people, among these people were Ingier and Burgundy, but most of them were Roland's own people.
The most hateful thing is the radical groups that persecute the local residents in the area occupied by Ingier under the banner of resisting the invaders, they kill everyone, Ingier invaders kill, and Roland himself is still killed on the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason, in essence, in order to satisfy his own **.
