Chapter 9: Just Arrived at the Border
Looking at the two distant friends, Masayir prayed in his heart that everything would go well and that he wished world peace. The Imperial Mission, escorted by infantry, also came to the town church, stopping and holding a formation, guarding all around.
Masayr was helpless, he felt that there were so many things, and it was okay that this kind of mission would not stay in this kind of country town, and it seemed that one or several acquaintances had come to look for him, and they couldn't go to such a remote place to hide and relax, but he was also very curious, as if everyone knew that they were here.
An acquaintance came out of the infantry formation, Cardinal Slaoga saw Masayir and said with a smile: "My old friend, I haven't seen you for a long time, how is your vacation in the country?" When you return to church, we miss your time! ”
Masayir looked strange and disgusted: "Yes, you miss me, the kind of thorns who join the church and are not easy to teach, the children of the nobility, or people with deep backgrounds, and even stupid people who don't know how to be flexible, have trained and taught me, and you can even point and watch the play on the sidelines." Masayal squeezed his eyes: "I used to compete with me for the personnel position of the General Affairs Department, but now I haven't gotten what I want, you are now a cardinal, I have become the head of the Cardinals' Conference, you want to be idle, I also want to be idle." See how it turned out! It looks like you're a lot busier than I am, at least I've run out through the power of my position, hehehe. ”
Slavoga suddenly showed indignation, and then sneered: "The decision of the church, you want to act as my bodyguard, follow me to the land of the barbarians, and to assess the possible threat to the north of the barbarians, who gave you the honorary title in the church: wisdom." Hahaha. By the way, don't make excuses not to go, this is the old man's words. Masayer looked at him with a blank expression.
Slavoga looked at him like this, and his heart felt a little cold: "Well, you know, I won't lie about this. And it's okay for me to charge and fight and discern people's hearts, but I really can't probe this kind of thing, so I didn't lie to you, it's really an old man who spoke. I won't give you the original text, you know that the old man's temper is not good. Masayr still turned his head into the church with a blank face, and after a while he watched him walk out of the church with his package and come to Slavoga: "Now hurry up, I want to come back early." ”······
Masail followed the mission to the Stormwind Fortress, looking at the majestic and tall fortress, which could be a special attraction to admire if it were not for the constant invasion of the barbarians, ignoring the giggling and mockery of Colt and Carver.
Storm Fortress, a famous imperial fortified stone fortress, is located on the eastern border of the empire, the north and south of the fortress are steep mountains extending to the north and south, the fortress is divided into two large and small fortresses in the north and south, the two fortresses are next to each other, the small fortress in the south controls the eastern border under the only six-carriage travel road, which also belongs to the border outpost, the northern large fortress is a military fortress, a legion of 5,000 soldiers is stationed all year round, and often rotates another 3,000-member Imperial Heavy Armored Knights: the Knights of Our Lady of the Teutonic Brothers. It was a knightly order of nobles located in the eastern Teutonic region with a much older history than the Empire. They advocated earning meritorious service on the battlefield, taking the glory of dying in battle, and participated in many expeditions launched by the empire, and the children who did not have meritorious service on the battlefield could not inherit the family inheritance of the Teutonic nobility. They often fought with taller barbarians on the eastern frontiers, and charged ahead of the Empire's expedition against the barbarians more than a dozen years ago. And after the failure of the imperial expedition, it was also the Knights who single-handedly delayed the pace of the barbarians and allowed the imperial army to retreat calmly. The barbarians also respectfully call them the Loyalists. Because of the slogan of the Teutonic Knights: Loyal to the Emperor, Loyal to the Empire!
This is the end of the mission's journey today, to rest in the fortress for a day and a night, replenish enough supplies, and then to the infinite steppe in the east of the fortress, although it is the power of the barbarians, but the barbarians advocate freedom, do not like to be bound, can not form the centralized power of the empire, generally in terms of management are large and small tribal associations, the king of the barbarians is also through mutual challenges to determine the strongest tribe to bear, representing a certain foreign discourse. The barbarians should be unusually united with other forces, but their control over the land is far less effective than that of the empire, so because of the prosperous business of the empire and the barbarians, there are many groups of horse thieves and robbers, specializing in robbing caravans, and the relatively simple heads of the barbarians are also very annoying to this group of smart horse thieves and robbers, so the barbarians often say to people: I will smash you into a meatloaf like a horse thief and robber! As they famously say, the talent of the barbarians is what they call the power of their ancestors, their blood boils when they are angry, and they contain great power, and the body of the general barbarian is stronger and thicker than that of the Imperial. Barbarians are what the Empire calls them, and they call their own race the Blessed Ones, so after understanding the meaning of this barbarian, the church has little affection for barbarians, although they do not have any ill feelings.
