Chapter XXXVIII

The soldiers responded with a bang, the sound of iron armor colliding endlessly, the murderous aura soared into the sky, and the birds in the air hovered and did not fall.

"Soldiers, I'm sorry to separate you from your families again, but I need you now.

In my capacity as the Baron of the Kingdom and in the name of the Black family, I promise you that no matter whether you live or die, as long as the banner of the Black family is still flying, your family will have no worries! ”

Ryan held up the flag with the Black family crest in his hand, and his voice pierced through the sky.

"Delai, heed your call." Delai was also dressed in a military uniform, he touched his chest with one hand, knelt on one knee, and said sonorously.

"We, heed your call." The soldiers knelt down in unison, and everyone present felt a tremor in their hearts.

While Ryan chose these soldiers, it was not these soldiers who chose Ryan, and when they chose to lead their families to Ryan's territory, it already said it all.

Sterling and Amy stood in the courtyard watching this scene, little Amy's eyes were full of little stars, and at this moment, a seed had been quietly planted in his heart.

Sterling looked at Ryan's back, and a figure came to mind, slowly overlapping with it. It's very similar, but it's blue.

At this time, the steward Deman also brought the purchased horses and carriages, just waiting for Ryan's order!

He looked back at Sterling and said, "Teacher, the family is all dependent on you.

Amy, you've got to go back too, your father must be worried. ”

Sterling smiled, this is his mission and belief, naturally he doesn't need to say more.

Looking up at Karinman who was standing at the window on the second floor, Ryan waved goodbye gently, he had already explained it clearly last night, and there was no need to stage an inseparable parting drama.

Ryan drew the Pioneer's Sword and pointed to the distant sky, "Let's go!" ”

Ham consciously stepped forward to take the flag, and with a flick of it, the team turned around in unison, boarded the horses or carriages, and began their new journey......

Since it was light, there was not much baggage, and there were carriages and horses, so the speed of the procession was very fast.

On the first day alone, hundreds of miles were traveled, again because of the uneven roads and the limited speed of the carriages. Ryan first made a circle to send Amy home, and then hurried without leaving the saddle.

It's just a team of more than 200 people, there are more than ten carriages, in addition to loading some grain and grass, it is also a practical problem that Ryan and others have taken into account, that is, many people can't ride horses.

Equestrianism takes time to temper, and Ryan doesn't have that much time to wait for them to slowly hone their skills, so he chooses to use the "money ability" and use the carriage directly!

It hurt him a little, but it was worth it.

From the central to the south, the plains that were once endless finally began to change slightly, with vast forests, clusters of mountains, and rushing rivers...... The sun is shining and the scenery is beautiful.

The vast southern frontier is divided into five provinces, and the guardian is Brian. Grand Duke Douglas, because of the existence of this legendary knight, orcs and monsters have never really wreaked havoc in the South.

Lane's fiefdom was in the province of Green, one of the least developed provinces in the entire southern border, with few economic pillars other than the export of grain, timber and raw ore.

Coincidentally, the Marton family of Chels was in the same county as the Kanna Territory, and if this place was not chosen by Lane himself, he really doubted that Chels was behind it.

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing......

The troops marched for eight or nine days, and finally crossed several provinces into the boundaries of Lintonshire, and after entering here, the forest was noticeably denser and relatively less populated.

Linton County is one of the few large counties in terms of area, but it has a population of less than 400,000, and it is properly vast and sparsely populated, and if it weren't for the rich resources of Warcraft to attract a large number of mercenaries and criminals, the population here would have decreased a lot.

"Ray, we just need to pass through this forest to reach Dorman City, the only city in Canna." Delai took a sip of the cool white in his skin and pointed to the dense forest road ahead.

Most of the southern border has a warm and humid climate, and the vegetation is also very dense, and there are countless snakes, insects, rats and ants in it.

So since arriving in the south, Ryan ordered the soldiers not to drink raw water, which must be boiled. He didn't want to see these soldiers being brought down by all sorts of parasites or diseases without even seeing the orcs' faces.

"Well, if it's faster, we won't have to camp out tonight, warriors, speed up the march!" A gleam of joy appeared on Ryan's tired face, and everyone was very tired from the high-intensity march during this time......

What Ryan didn't know was that somewhere in the forest at the moment, a group of ugly green-skinned creatures were feasting on it. They are nearly two meters tall, with dark green skin, muscular muscles, sharp fangs, and rudimentary leather armor or animal skins.

They held unknown pieces of flesh in their hands, and their blood basins kept biting.

There were about forty or so people, sitting around the fire, half of them orcs, and more bound humans, their hands and feet tied firmly, looking terrified at the flesh in the hands of the orcs on the ground.

An hour ago, the meat was the same as theirs.

(orc): "Haven't you found it yet, the shaman is running out of time for us, and the food is almost finished." ”

"No, is there a human gathering area around, we need supplies." An orc that looked like a leader gnawed on a leg bone.

"No ...... found yet"

Orc language was so complex and difficult to understand that the captives didn't know what they were talking about, but their instincts told them it wasn't a good thing.

For a moment, fear gripped everyone.

Hevian lay on the ground, watching the fierce light in the eyes of those orcs grow stronger and stronger, and couldn't help but feel a little desperate, it seems that today is going to be reduced to food for these animals.

Thinking about what had happened to him in the past two days, Hervian felt like he had gone through hell, and his village was full of nearly two hundred people.

But it was only a short time before it was attacked head-on by these twenty or so orcs, and the organized militia was tortured/killed without causing any casualties at all.

Eventually, the village was sacked and the village fled, but as the village chief, he was captured alive because he led people to break up.

Originally, there were more than thirty of them captured, but now, there are only about two dozen left, and if nothing else, the next meal will be him.

After eating the food in their hands, the orcs extinguished the fire and drove the captives to continue their search for something.

And what they don't know is that a human team is not far from them.

"Ray, there's black smoke there." Sitting on his horse, Alan accidentally caught a glimpse of black smoke rising not far away.
