70. Head south

Emperor November 20, 996

At noon on the third day of Rand's mobilization, Rand led the main force of the Knights and 150 demon supporters to set out south with nearly 200 pack beasts, leaving all the demons in the territory and most of the ordinary demon bearers to Lanya and Albert.

The first to open was still Neil's reconnaissance squadron, and throughout lunch, Neil was in Makoto's tent in the core camp, and Rand knew that Neil was a filial child, so he specially found a lot of food from his own inventory and asked Neil to bring to Makoto, and asked the camp cook to make a few dishes and send them to Makoto's tent.

"These are mushroom soups from adults, and he said you liked this soup the most at the last dinner," Makoto handed Neil a tin can.

From the warehouse of the salt mine, a hundred and ten sets of iron lunch boxes were found, according to Kur Yagan, who had sent them from the Salt and Iron Division two years earlier, and Rand gave one to each of the reconnaissance squadrons

"Ah, okay" Neil took the lunch box and gulped down the soup.

"I've got a little gold for you, if you meet a small tribe you can buy each other's people," Makoto said and handed Neil a leather bag, "You remember, if the small tribe can deal with it, just take it down, the medium tribe will buy as much as possible, and if you encounter a big tribe like a badger or an eagle, you will return in time and tell the adults." ”

"Mmmm, mom, I know, you've told me several times."

"Two days ago, the adults handed me a piece of steel-maned pig skin, I think the size is about the same, so I asked the cobbler to make you a leather coat, the weather is immediately cold, and your team always eats cold food, so you usually wear an extra one to keep warm."

"Okay, Mom, everybody starts a fire when they stop, and it's even hotter on a horse," Neil grinned.

"It's cold when you're on a horse, you put it on and try it, and if it's not suitable, you can change it now"

。。。。。。。

Rand and Albert make one last tour of the camp before setting off.

"Uncle Albert, this camp will be handed over to you, just follow our plan last night, Lannia and I promise that the team can travel more than 20 kilometers a day" Rand glanced at Albert, "although I can't believe it." ”

Rand could believe that the people in the camp could walk 20 kilometers a day, but with 1,000 sheep walking 20 kilometers a day, Rand would not believe it.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure that all demon supporters and cavalry follow her arrangement, and that no one will be left behind under the urging of the demon supporters."

"Well, that's fine, my carriage has finished installing the mast of the Mage's Eye, and the mask is in the old place in the car, and you can see the dangers around it." Rand said and pointed at the young man with his finger, "In addition, the little cloth head is also left for you, and he can send me a message at any time if there is something." ”

"Okay, I heard that the little cloth head stimulates the blood?" Albert is also interested in the little cloth head

"Yes, the dog tooth told me that the bloodline was stimulated two days ago, and I think this son will at least be a junior knight in the future."

"Well, this kid can stimulate the bloodline on the Galloping Horse Plain, and that potential must be greater than that of ordinary children!"

"Of course, but now that this child is short of nutrients recently, you can also talk to the chef team to give those children a little more food, including Xiao Butou." Rand instructed Albert that he was concerned about the more gifted children in the realm.

"Got it, didn't you already tell Lanya yesterday?" Albert suddenly changed his words: "I heard that you gave that steel-maned pig skin to Makoto?" ”

"Yes, she told me before that she wanted to make a leather coat for Neil, but it was cold, and she was worried that Neil would freeze too soon on horseback." Rand laughed as he spoke.

"Zhenqin is in charge of the accounts of the territory, her son is the head of the barbarian clan in the territory, and her brother will be in charge of the caravan of the territory in the future.

"It can only show that it makes sense for the frost wolf family to open a business to the king, and there are indeed many talents in the family."

"Then it's not just their family in our territory," Albert was worried about the people of the Maned Wolf family.

"That's why I let Neil run away every time, and Makoto herself knows that she doesn't usually see her brother much" Rand knew that Makoto was a smart person, especially after so many years in the barbarian camp, and he guessed the thoughts of the strong very thoroughly, "Hey, we will have more people to run in the future, we have to give people a little hope, right?"

"You're right, it's not a direct reward for no reason."

"Hmm," Rand was silent for a moment, looking at Makoto's tent and not speaking.

Soon Makoto and Neil came out of the tent, Neil was about to lead the team to set off, Makoto finally helped Neil sort out his clothes, and Rand kept looking at Makoto and Neil.

"I have no relatives now, looking at their mother and son, I hope they can live better, don't be like me, I finally have some strength, and I don't even have a person who can be filial" Rand said distractedly.

For Albert, Rand is a grief about the loss of his father and brother, and for Rand himself, it is a reminder of his hometown and his parents in his previous life.

Albert looked at Rand and was speechless for a long time.

"Rand, Rand," Nyla ran over from afar, "Rand, I've prepared some food for you, and clothes, and I've sorted them out with a few people." ”

"Hey, okay, thank you for your hard work" Now Rand is 2.2 meters tall, Nila's height is just over 1.6 meters, Rand saw Nila hugging Nila very kindly, and her hands kept rubbing Nila's hair, as if stroking her daughter.

"Rand, Rand, don't do this, they're all watching" Nyla was embarrassed for a while, and she always acted like a manager to the outside, directing the waiters in the core tent.

"It's okay, where did you put all your luggage? I'll take it in a moment. ”

"I've got it all for Wendy."

"Huh? Got it for Wendy? ”

。。。。。。

"Yes, Teacher Gandalf and Priest Wright are going, and a few of us will naturally follow, so will you leave us behind, my lord?"

"How so?" Rand said, thinking to himself how I didn't know that these two would set off with me, "But do you know how to ride horses?" ”

"Of course, have you forgotten that when your team first stormed the Grey Goose camp, a few of us were on horseback to escape, and those horses were our most commonly used mounts, and the old priest came in to take us to other tribes for sacrifices."

"However, the team is full of men, isn't it inconvenient for you to be in the team?"

"We're all wearing the same armor, and we have sacrificial masks," Wendy looked like she had thought about it very thoroughly, "My lord, when we were apprentices in the Grey Goose Tribe, we not only learned how to sacrifice, but we also had to learn how to heal black-scaled horses, heal warriors, discern directions, gather herbs, and we also had to learn how to fight on horseback. ”

"Then you follow Gandalf well, and don't interfere with the battle of the knight squadron," Rand agreed with Wendy and the others.

Seeing Wendy leave with a smile, Rand muttered, "The only pity is that there is no special women's armor here, and you can make a special set for them when you have territory in the future." ”
