From Black Rock City, target the once-abandoned harbor southwest of the target.

Zhaoming, along with his Chenhui Knights and the Black Rock Guards, were marching at breakneck speed.

Gawain led the scouts first, and they traveled lightly to clear the way for the army.

Sevita also had Joseph, the commander of the Black Rock Guard, in charge of the middle army, and they led the most elite army in Black Rock.

Two thousand!

They were positioned in a variety of ways, ranging from guards in heavy armor and shields, spearmen armed with spears more than two meters long, and a smaller number of archers.

The above is the configuration of a normal human army, but the army of Zhaoming has a unique formation - musketeers.

With the tactics he learned from the memories of his previous life, Zhaoming trained these musketeers quite rigorously.

Under his strict guidance, the musketeers could take exactly 76 steps per minute on the march, forming a three-column formation, taking turns to shoot in a dense fire.

To Zhaoming's surprise, he originally thought that it would be a long and difficult process, but everyone from Commander Joseph to the lower-ranking soldiers quickly mastered these tactics.

And Zhaoming has always attached importance to logistics, so he did not hesitate to organize a large number of people to assist in transporting materials, and even mobilized a large number of young and strong laborers in Black Rock City, which is very unusual for him, who has always cherished the people's power.

The reason why Zhaoming did it was for only one purpose, that is, to be fast!

Fast as lightning!

The order to regain the port seemed to have been given on a whim, but in fact, he had already made all preparations for this battle.

After successfully defending himself against the demonic invasion, Andu was ordered by Akira to stock up on muskets and gunpowder as quickly as possible.

It was a laborious project, and the production of gunpowder required a large number of manpower, and Kuroiwa did not have enough manpower.

But perhaps it was the ripple effect of Zhaoming's past good deeds, and the refugees he rescued - from the beginning of the demonic invasion to the present day, there has been a steady stream of people coming to take refuge.

Zhaoming's manpower suddenly increased.

And not only gunpowder production.

In the foundry, the forges have received many new apprentices; Lesio's men had a skilled construction team; A large amount of new land has been cleared, and those sectors with high demand for human resources have been met.

"Maybe this is benevolence in the world, right?" Zhaoming used to think so.

"All development needs to be done by people, and without people, any great plan can only be an illusory bubble."

Akira, who was at the end of the line, was accompanied by his "younger brother" Ezekiel and guard Cooper.

Looking at the team that was moving fast, the three of them were full of emotion.

Zhaoming once had a dream in which he had a powerful army and had re-established his own knights, and with these, he could achieve whatever he wanted. And it all seems to be becoming a reality.

……

At the head of the procession, two knights stopped their rambling and spread out their maps to observe the surrounding terrain.

One of them is handsome, personable, with a white horse under his crotch, and is the dream lover of many girls, it is the knight Gawain.

And the knight companion beside him was tall and muscular, and it was none other than his good partner Diesel.

The two are very different in appearance and personality, but for some reason they have become the closest partners and are known as the golden combination.

Gawain jumped off his horse and laid the map on the saddle, his mount standing obediently so that his master could see clearly.

Diesel stood by his side and watched, his eyes looking around vigilantly, and several scouts came to report, and the surrounding terrain seemed to be a little different from what was pointed out on the map.

Gawain collected the information that his men had brought back, and looked at his map again, a flash of suspicion in his eyes.

Diesel beside him saw that something was wrong with him and asked with concern: "What's the matter, brother?" Is there something wrong? “

Gawain shook his head and said, "Our map is too old, and the surrounding environment has changed a lot in the past due to the erosion of chaos. ”

Hearing this, Diesel smiled slightly and said: "This is normal, the demon's stragglers often go around to wreak havoc, and it is understandable that there are discrepancies between the map and the actual situation." ”

But Gawain said with a heavy face: "Here's the problem, look! ”

Gawain pointed to a red line on the map and showed it to Diesel.

"This is the road map drawn to me by the regiment commander, I was surprised at first glance, because this road does not exist on the map, but when we arrived at the scene, we found that the real scene was exactly the same as he expected!"

The two glanced at each other, and through Diesel's blank eyes, Gawain could see that his good brother did not understand what he meant.

"Isn't that bad?"

Diesel scratched his head, he didn't understand why Gawain was acting like this.

Isn't it a good thing that the regimental commander has found the right path in advance to ensure the safe movement of the team?

Seeing that Diesel couldn't understand what he meant, Gawain stopped the topic, after all, it was still important to hurry.

But in his heart, Gawain became more and more suspicious of Zhaoming.

"As a fellow Templar, I have great admiration for his actions, even though he has some flaws, but his flaws are not hidden, he is one of the best knights in my mind!"

"But everything about Brother Zhaoming is too suspicious, if, according to his own words, he used to be just an ordinary knight, only to be given a mission by the regimental commander when he was in danger, then there are many contradictions here."

The troops continued to advance, but Gawain's brain did not stop.

"A magician, and such a powerful magician, even if he has been humble, but judging from his performance, his strength is not much different from those great mages in the Holy Domain, how can such a person be just an ordinary knight?"

Gao Wen felt that Zhaoming's origin was really suspicious, an ordinary junior knight, who had joined the Knights for less than a few years, had done a mess of his homework, and couldn't even memorize half a sentence of scripture, such a person would definitely not be promoted in the Knights.

"But he's a magician! No matter how stupid the previous leader of the Chenhui Knights was, it was impossible for him to let such a genius be dusted, and with his strength, how could he let the Chenhui Knights suffer such a bad fate? ”

I can't figure it out, Gawain can't figure it out, Zhaoming's birth is too bizarre.

The reason why the people around him don't suspect it is because Zhaoming gave them a favor, a great favor!

A city full of hunger and poverty, Zhaoming freed everyone from hunger, then the people will naturally follow it as the master.

Zhaoming opened trade routes and encouraged trade, and merchants praised other deeds.

He treats people kindly, without any pretension as a lord, and Corporal Lixian is naturally convinced by the people like Grouchy who are under his command.

He worked hard and dared to take responsibility, led the army and people of Black Rock City to resist the demon invasion, and his prestige was far and wide, and all the knights were willing to befriend him.

To sum up, the suspicion in Gawain's heart became stronger and stronger.

"Is he perfect? No, he has a lot of flaws, and being lustful is just one of them. But he really made everyone around him very happy with him and was happy to acquiesce that his existence was justified, and that's the biggest weirdness! ”

Just as he was thinking, Diesel, who was walking side by side with him, patted him on the shoulder and brought him back from his thoughts.

"The head of the regiment is here!"

Following Diesel's finger, Gawain saw a black-armored knight running towards him, the object of his suspicion, the lord of his regiment, Black Rock, Zhaoming.

Taking off the helmet with wings, Zhaoming's slightly green face appeared in front of the two.

Diesel liked the leader, who was as young as them, even a few years younger than them, and able to understand their thoughts better, rather than like the old stubborns of the Sanctuary before.

But the suspicion in Gawain's heart was added to the suspicion - Zhaoming was too young, and he was definitely the youngest captain in the history of the Templars.

Although it was a mission entrusted by the previous head of the regiment, Zhaoming's performance was completely inconsistent with his original identity.

Of course, Gawain wouldn't know how much help Trisda behind Zhaoming had brought him, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't believe it.

Zhaoming said with a pleasant face: "Two brothers, we were in too much of a hurry when we set off, and we forgot to give you a piece of equipment. ”

Zhaoming took out two rings and handed them to Diesel and Gawain, and the two took them and looked at them carefully.

The texture of silver, inlaid with a green gemstone, has a bit of elegance.

"What is this?" Diesel fiddled curiously.

Zhao Ming told them that this was a tool for communication.

"If I talk over here, your rings will shine brightly, and you can hear it by putting your ears up!"

Zhaoming said as he made a demonstration, he also had a ring on his hand.

I saw him lower his voice and say a few words to the ring, and the rings of Gawain and the others immediately flashed green three times.

The two of them brought the ring close to their ears, and they heard Zhaoming's voice clearly.

"In the future, we will use this communication, and the communication efficiency will be much faster!"

This is the item that Zhaoming has just exchanged for the accumulated faith points, and there are only 20 in total.

Diesel was very fond of the new equipment, but his fingers were too big for the ring to wear, so he had to wear a rope to make a necklace.

Gawain, on the other hand, put the ring on the little finger of his left hand, and Zhaoming was a little surprised to see him do this.

The ring on the little finger of the left hand generally indicates that the owner of the ring is an unmarried.

"Brother Gawain has a handsome face that even I envy, but I didn't expect to be an unmarried."

In fact, this kind of behavior is not a minority among knights, knights are in the middle of a war all their lives, and they rarely have time to deal with emotional and family problems, so many people simply cut off their distractions about the world.

Seeing that they had accepted the equipment, Zhaoming turned around and wanted to return to the ranks of the army, but he didn't expect Gao Wen to suddenly speak.

"Brother Commander, it seems that this ring must be a very expensive magic device, where did you get it?"
