Chapter 254: Holy Cult Legion
Celia's gentle attack immediately had an astonishing effect, and Fionor was seen to rise from the ground, his face full of joy, his mouth open and his tongue out, and his tail swinging around quickly, like a pug that had picked up a bone.
"Alright, alright, let's go at once!" said Fionor, excited.
Seeing that he looked unrelenting, Sawin couldn't help but say with disdain: "What a dog's virtue!"
"Hmph, I'm willing to ......," said Fionor, unconcerned.
Sawan was really made lose his temper by his cheekiness, waved his hand and said, "Go quickly, come back early!"
After sending Serya away, Sahain immediately ordered the defense of the fortress to be captured, and this place will be used as a logistics base for their advance into Salem, and there must be no mistakes. At the same time, Sahain also called for some officers and ordered them: "Go and look at the nearby villages and towns, and find as many white cloths as you can." ”
"White cloth, what do you want to do with this?" the officers didn't understand what Savan was going to do.
Sawin didn't want to explain too much to them for the time being, so he just said: "You don't have to worry about it, in short, the more white cloth the better, go quickly!"
After receiving Savin's order, although the officer did not understand what it meant, Shangfeng's order could not be carried out, and soon detachments of cavalry were sent out to the surrounding villages and towns to find the white cloth that Savin needed.
The fortress of Barreto is not far from the royal capital, and this area is the most economically developed area in Pesanese, not only densely populated, but also the most agricultural area, although many people have fled when they hear about the war, but there are still many people who do not want to leave their homes. Fighting is a matter for the nobles, and if you want to fight, it should be the royal capital, so many people stayed with such thoughts.
When the cavalry sent by Savin appeared in the surrounding villages and towns, the locals' eyes widened in shock, they did not expect the war to come to them so quickly, which made the residents feel at a loss, and did not know whether to surrender to the enemy army or flee immediately.
Fortunately, these cavalrymen were very well-behaved, and they did not kill people when they saw them, and rob things when they saw them, as they would have said. On the contrary, these soldiers were very disciplined, and did not take anything more than to ask the people to hand over the white cloth. Occasionally, a few soldiers were punished by the officers, which quickly put the people at ease.
Such a well-behaved army is stronger than the army of the country, and some people even chatted with the enemy army, and the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious. The cavalry sent out to collect the white cloth soon returned, and to everyone's surprise, a large amount of white cloth was collected in just two days, and it was piled up like a hill in the courtyard of the castle.
Savin ordered the officers to cut the white cloth and give each soldier a piece, and the officers did not know what to say when they heard such an unbelievable order. When the white cloth was handed out to each soldier, the soldiers laughed and guessed what the white cloth was for, some said it was used for them as bed sheets, others said it was used to wrap the corpses, but many more thought it was for bandaging the wounds of everyone......
"Has the white cloth been handed down?" asked Savan his officers.
"It's all gone, my lord!" replied the officers.
"Very well, tell the soldiers, cut the white cloth like this. As he spoke, Savin took out a piece of white cloth, only to see that a round hole had been cut out in the center of the square white cloth.
The officers looked at each other, not understanding what kind of medicine was bought in the gourd, and no one spoke for a long time. Seeing their wide-eyed eyes, Sawin smiled and explained, "That's how it works. With that, Savin put the round hole in the white cloth around his neck, and the square white cloth immediately became a cloak draped over his body.
The ......officer didn't know what to say, but he thought it was a joke on the part of Savan, and no one thought it would be a serious order.
"Understood? That's what to do, you tell me right away. Sawan said with a smile.
An officer boldly said, "Your Excellency...... Are you serious? Do you really want the soldiers to ......."
Savin's face sank and he said in a cold voice, "What? Do you think I'm joking?"
"Ah...... No, no, we didn't think about it that way......" Seeing that Savin was actually serious, the officers hurriedly agreed and walked outside the house.
Shortly after the officers left, Sawin closed the door and said to the window, "Come out!"
As Savan spoke, a figure flashed in from the window, more nimble than a cat and silent.
"See the Lord!" said the man respectfully on one knee.
"Get up, you don't have to salute me so much. Sawan said, "It's been a while, Narros. ”
The person who came was Naros, since she was assigned the work of intelligence chief by Savan, Naros has been busy outside, this war can accurately grasp the enemy's intelligence, Naros is indispensable, others may not know, but Savin knows how big the role of Narros plays.
In order to collect more information, Narros not only set up an intelligence network, but also penetrated into Pesanes, and a lot of military information was transmitted by Narros during this time. Now Savan has two intelligence systems, the one that is bright and the one that is dark, the one that is the military's intelligence system, and the one that is dark is the intelligence network under Naros.
The two intelligence systems work together to give Sawin more and more detailed information, so that he can make the right choice. It can be said that without Narros, Sawan would never have dared to launch this long-distance raid.
Sawan didn't greet Naros either, and their relationship no longer needed such courtesy. As soon as he came up, Sawan asked very directly, "What is the situation in the city of Salem now?"
Narros had come to report on the situation, and she immediately replied: "Now that the city is in chaos, many nobles are busy fleeing, and the people are panicking, and the royal family is divided into two factions, one for desperate resistance and the other for surrender. ”
As soon as he heard that there were people in the royal family who advocated surrender, Sawin was immediately interested, and he continued to ask: "Who are the main people who advocate surrender, and is there an advantage in numbers?"
Naros replied: "The people who advocate surrender are a group of people led by the Duke of Marin, the number is not too many, and they only dare to say it in private, and no one dares to publicize it publicly. ”
Sawin thought for a moment, as if he was talking to himself, "They don't have anyone to support them, if someone supports them, maybe they can play a bigger role......"
The two were silent for a while, and then Savin said to Naros: "You have worked hard during this time, so I will stay in Barreto for a while to rest, and I will look for you when I need you." ”
Narros agreed, and dodged out of the window again.
Two days later, Fionor took Celia and Main to Barrett Fortress. As soon as he fell to Fiono, he complained non-stop, saying how tired he was, and he had to rest for at least ten days and half a month to recover. Sawan had ten fat sheep thrown to him, and Fionor shut up and hid in a corner to enjoy his food.
Sawan told Seria that Narros was also here, and Celestia jumped and jumped with joy, and ran to find Narros without resting. Sawan invited Main to his room, ordered someone to serve tea, and then said to Main: "This trip is hard, this journey is quite smooth, right?"
Main smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect to be very tired to ride a dragon, but majestic is majestic, why are you in such a hurry to find me?"
Sawin said: "There are two purposes for inviting the master here, one is to ask the master to build a teleportation well here, and the other is to invite the master to be an insider in the city of Salem. ”
Main was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said, "Naturally, there is no problem in building a teleportation well, but it is necessary to do internal ...... I'm a magician, not a general. ”
Sawin smiled: "You don't need the master to lead the troops to carry out any sneak attack, as long as the master moves his mouth." ”
Seeing Savin's mysterious look, Main instinctively felt that Savin must have some ghost idea, so he said: "You are getting more and more ghostly now, I am really afraid that you will sell me, what is your idea?"
Still smiling, Sawan said, "Do you remember what the name of this expedition was sent?"
