"Your Excellency is truly a living god!"

An old man in ragged clothes took the plate of food and said tremblingly.

The commander arranged for the soldiers to distribute food to the civilians, one plate per person. The civilians were grateful to the Commander.

"You are not thankful for me, but for the Earl. Earl Lu Ming, the husband of Princess Betty. "Dominate the Orthodox Path.

In the distance, Eve probed for all the movements, and the words did not escape her ears. Secretly wrote it down in my heart, it is rare for this person to be able to know his role, not to be greedy for merit, not to be rash.

"Princess Betty?" the old man excited, "Her Royal Highness has ordered that we civilians should not be harmed, and she is a rare good person, and so is the Earl. ”

He spontaneously came to everyone, "The old man is the village chief of Timen Village, and he has had enough of the oppression of the nobles of the Duchy of Sein in the past. Today, I hope you will join me in the Principality of Posei. ”

The old man knelt down first, and everyone knelt on the ground with him, and the voices of surrender came and went.

The Commander frowned, as was customary in the past, they civilians would be automatically reduced to slaves and spoils of war, which the previous army had not done.

First, because there are not enough manpower, the big war is imminent, and there is no one to take them over. Second, there was a shortage of food during the war, and there was no extra food to distribute to them.

Lu Ming was moved when he saw this situation, and he walked up to the commander.

"Order three hundred men to escort them safely to the territory of the Principality, and settle them down, at my expense. ”

"This..."The commander hesitated a little, he hadn't sent the soldiers to the battlefield yet, but because of the reduction of civilian personnel, that is, this count dared to do such a thing.

"My subordinates will do it!" the commander no longer hesitated, it was not his turn to take responsibility if something happened anyway.

The three hundred soldiers were obviously reluctant after receiving the order, but it was just a military order, and they had to obey.

The commander walked up to the soldiers and said in a loud voice, "Your Excellency the Earl has an order, and no one is allowed to oppress the people. Those who rob property shall be punished with 30 strokes, and those who insult women shall be sentenced to death by hanging. ”

After sending the people away, the army set off again, and within a few kilometers of travel, they encountered a group of refugees. Lu Ming couldn't bear it, so he distributed some food again and sent soldiers to escort them away.

After several times, there was little food left, and the infantry was reduced by more than a thousand men.

Some soldiers have asked about the surplus of food, but they have all been suppressed by the commanders. While trimming, the commander found Lu Ming with a bitter face.

"My lord, I really can't give out food anymore, and once the soldiers know that there is not enough food, they have to march in a hurry. I am afraid that it will lead to the phenomenon of desertion, and once the first case occurs, we can only put the deserter to death, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Only then did Lu Ming realize that he had made a mistake, and he took out the map, "How long do we have to meet the army?"

The commander pointed to a mountain range and said, "According to the intelligence from the past few days, the army is currently camping here. In the confrontation with the enemy brigade, from the distance, we still need half a month, but the food can only support about ten days. ”

Lu Ming looked at the map carefully and observed the route pointed by the commander.

"We can walk through the Warcraft Forest here, so we can avoid a lot of detours. ”

The commander hurriedly said: "My lord doesn't know, the Warcraft Forest is only suitable for young people to pass through, such as small mercenaries or adventurers. The passage of the brigade will inevitably cause the gathering of demonic beasts, which is also known as the beast tide, and the ruler of the demonic beast forest will unite all demonic beasts to resist. ”

This can make Lu Ming anxious, if the soldiers flee because of his mistakes, even if no one dares to punish him, it will have a negative impact on morale.

Eve whispered: "Master don't worry, with me, even if you break in, you can do it." It's just a Warcraft forest. ”

Lu Ming almost forgot about her supreme combat power.

"I have my own way to solve the matter of the Warcraft, you can pass on the order. ”

The commander hesitated slightly, and finally chose to follow Lu Ming's orders, he knew that if Lu Ming did not have confidence, he would not joke with the lives of the soldiers.

The army gathered at the entrance to the Warcraft Forest, and many soldiers began to talk.

"It's... How could Lord Earl give such an order? The demonic beasts are gathered together, and we ten thousand people can't resist it at all, and the high-level demonic beasts rush over, and we can kill and injure thousands of people. ”

"Don't panic, I've watched the Earl, and if there is danger, he will definitely rush to the front. He will be able to continue his legacy today. ”

"That's right, you look at the nobles of our Duchy of Posei, and then look at the nobles of the Duchy of Sain, it's just one heaven and one underground. ”

"It's right to follow the earl, when the time comes, you will be added to the rank and enter the knighthood, and you will have a beautiful gold coin, and you will never have to worry about it again in this life. ”

The commander rode his horse in front of the soldiers, from beginning to end, to inspect it. Shouting, "Slow down!"

Lu Ming had already ridden the Wolf King into the Warcraft Forest, and Eve was hovering over his ears, spreading his spiritual power throughout the Warcraft Forest, but he fed back the information to Lu Ming in a moment.

"Master, there are three high-level demonic beast populations in this Demonic Beast Forest, and the highest strength is similar to that of the Wolf King. There was a gathering place of mercenaries in the southeast, about two hundred people. ”

Lu Ming frowned after hearing this, the three high-level demonic beast clans, ordinary soldiers can't resist at all, I don't know if Eve can handle it.

"When the army comes, the monsters will spontaneously gather together, and these high-level monsters will become their commanders, even if they are of different races, they can also call the shots. So we just need to deal with these advanced Warcraft first. ”

The first high-level demonic beast was around the low mountain, it was an ape-like demonic beast, with solid muscles, as hard as King Kong, hair standing on end, and eyes full of hostility. The battle intent of the ape-like demonic beasts is one of the best, fierce and flexible, and very difficult.

Eve turned into a human form and unleashed her cultivation, causing the iron-spine apes to retreat one after another. Only then did Lu Ming use the spirit beast trick to communicate with them.

"I'm here to borrow the Tao, and as you can see, if we have evil intentions, it won't be difficult to hurt you. ”

The Ironvertebrate Commander raised his iron pillar-like arms and beat them in front of his chest.

"The ironvertebrate is never afraid of death!"

Lu Ming had a flash of inspiration, remembering that when he was a child, his father said that monkeys like to drink, and apes are stronger than monkeys, but the difference is not far behind, I don't know if they also like to drink.

So he took out two large barrels of red wine from the space necklace and walked boldly to the commander.

"This is a gift from me, a precious wine, I don't know if you like it or not. ”

He opened the lid of the barrel, and the smell of wine overflowed, and the flat, wide nostrils of the leader of the iron-spine ape dilated, and his expression changed.

"Mighty human, are you sure it's really just a way to borrow, and not a hidden conspiracy?"

"I can vouch for my life, just by the way, and I don't have any other thoughts, this group of soldiers is going to be sent to the front line to fight. ”

The Ironspine Commander was relieved that he had captured a few mercenaries two days ago, and the Elder communicated with them in human language and learned the news of the war. This is the tradition of the ape tribe, to learn about humans, and to learn from them.
