Chapter 138: Mysterious Items
The sound was like a monstrous Lang, slamming heavily on the reef, Alex couldn't help but burst into tears, others didn't know what was going on, but he understood what the purpose of these people was coming.
After all, the empire was still reluctant to them, and all the previous things were suppressed, and before leaving the country, they actually sent 30,000 horses over!
Whether it is the will of His Majesty or the meaning of the military department, it is a great honor for the Eighth Legion, a Twilight Legion, a legion that no longer belongs to the Ron Empire has been gifted at this time, and in any case, this is enough.
But now Alex is still facing a problem, how to explain to his soldiers, from the time the troops left the station, the soldiers thought that they were just making a strategic shift, and even now there are still people who think so, but now this cavalry suddenly appeared to give horses, and his soldiers don't know the reason, but if it is said that the belonging of the legion has been counted in the Kotler Empire, I am afraid it will cause a mutiny.
"Did you already know?" Jesse is the commander of the Chaoyang Legion, if it weren't for these words, I'm afraid he still hasn't understood some of the strange behaviors of the Eighth Legion, the integration has always been presided over by the Imperial Military Department, but the Eighth Legion did not pass through the military headquarters but was directly incorporated, and everyone knows how big the movement of the Eighth Legion is, but except for a few local defenders who obstruct it, the rest are all allowed all the way, and they don't even need to look at the order.
After each acquisition, the nearby defenders or elite troops will then clean up the battlefield, and line up from afar, as if seeing off, Jesse still felt curious at the beginning, but after a long time, his curiosity turned into doubt, this is not an accidental phenomenon, but a frequent occurrence, it turns out that the Eighth Legion is not the original Eighth Legion for a long time, and the commander of the Legion who has never met must also know, so he ordered all the way west.
The troops do not have any combat orders, so it cannot be the strategic deployment of the empire, if you calculate it carefully, for so long, I have not seen a person from the military department coming, as if ...... The Eighth Legion has been forgotten.
Now it seems that most of the Eighth Legion no longer belong to the Ron Empire, all the way to the west, a foreign country is bumpy, although after Pit Viper Town, through the canyon is the Orc Forest, but Jesse does not think that the Eighth Legion has been returned to the Orc Empire, and the Binis Empire is too far away from his current position, if it is to the Binis Empire, the order should be to go south, not west, so there is only one country to go, the Kotler Empire.
And all of this is led by Alex, which means that he is the only one here who knows the most real situation, so Jesse has such a question.
"That's right!" Alex gritted his teeth and said to Jesse, "Our Eighth Legion has completely turned into the personal legion of Kahl Kotler, the second prince of the Kotler Empire, since the first day of camping, and the Sunset Legion in your hands is the same. ”
Jesse frowned and lowered his head in thought, Alex didn't pay attention to him, but as a result, the cavalry leader's war horse, turned over, and then rode to the phalanx of the Sunset Legion, scanned the whole army, and saw all doubts and doubts, Alex knew in his heart that as long as he said the wrong word, then it was possible for the legion that he had worked so hard to bring here to collapse directly.
"I'm Alex, I only have one word, those who are willing to go with me, follow me, those who don't want to go with me, go with them!" After speaking, the horsewhip in his hand pointed out, and it turned out to be the residents of Pit Viper Town who were fleeing behind the phalanx!
Just one sentence, but it set off an uproar in the entire phalanx, some people in the phalanx thought that Alex was referring to the cavalry behind him who had dismounted and waited, but no one thought that the deputy commander was referring to those small town residents who had cried and cried in front of him before, this was no longer a stimulus, in the hearts of the veterans of the Sunset Legion, this was already an insult!
No one wants to be a deserter! Neither do the people of the Rising Sun Army.
For half an hour, Alex stood there quietly and watched the Eighth Legion that he had been with day and night, no one left, a tragedy spread in the phalanx, some veterans showed pain, some gritted their teeth, and some wept bitterly, but no matter what the reaction was, the whole legion was calm and suffocated.
"Since everyone is willing to follow me, from today onwards, the number of the Eighth Regiment of the Sunset Legion will be cancelled, and the Kotler Imperial Royal Tenth Guards Guidance Regiment and the Royal Tenth Guards will be officially established!"
After speaking, Alex raised the long sword in his hand and shouted: "All of them, receive the gift of the Unknown Legion of the Ron Empire!"
As soon as the words fell, the first to react was not the Eve Yang Legion, nor the former Chaoyang Legion, but the cavalry behind Alex who silently led the war horse, among which the leader reacted the fastest.
"All!
As soon as the armor was removed, all the cavalry began to untie the armor knots on their bodies, and the sound of the iron armor colliding came and went, making the people of the two legions on the opposite side stunned, even Alex was surprised, now that the weather has entered winter, most of the iron armor will be wrapped with the insulated inner village, if you want to remove the armor, you must remove it together with the inner lining, otherwise, even if it is all given, Alex's legion cannot wear it, but under the inner lining, the basic thermal insulation clothing can not resist the invasion of the mountain wind at all, and the thin clothing can penetrate in one breath, and the people inside will be frostbitten。
I have long known that these 30,000 cavalry are elite troops, but no one thought that in less than ten breaths, the team of 30,000 people, the armor was all unloaded, fortunately, these 30,000 people have been prepared, and the armor has been specially adjusted to a large size, so that there will be enough space in it to let people add an extra piece of clothing, although it is impossible to keep warm for a long time, but it is no problem for people in a short time.
With an excited face to take over the leader's armor, Alex asked with some concern: "Behind you is the wilderness, how can your army go back?"
"Old general, you can go quickly, we have another mission. After saying that, the leader of the team gave a solemn military salute again and then retreated.
The handover of the horses took not long, in fact, it should be said that it was very fast, in two hours, the Kotler Imperial Royal Tenth Guard Regiment had all been equipped with war horses, and the remaining less than 20,000 mounts were also sent out separately, marching on foot for more than a month, although there were also carriages in the team, but after all, it was to transport grain and grass and ensure logistics, nothing more.
No one thought that so many things had happened in less than a day, although many people had already sat on the war horse, their expressions were still in a trance, and Jesse was the same, but his sister Lal who was sitting in front of him looked excited, but no word of chirp entered his brother's ears.
"Brother, brother!" Lal said for a long time, but found that Jesse was still stunned, he should have heard a word before, he couldn't help but make a small face, and directly reached out and patted the slightly big helmet on his brother's head, the rattling helmet finally woke Jesse from a sudden start, looked down at his sister, and asked suspiciously: "Laer, what's wrong?"
"Brother, why do you want to be so engrossed? Also, the treasure bag you gave me was taken away by the big-faced werewolf, and he said that he would change it to me tomorrow. Do you think he can give it to me?"
Jesse was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but be surprised, his sister's treasure bag was taken away by the orcs...... Don't dare to think about it, Jesse suddenly felt extremely irritable, Lal was just about to speak, but Jesse clamped the horse's belly tightly and ran out directly, the soldiers behind him were stunned, watching him ride into the dust, and soon disappeared from view, and when people came to their senses, where were the two brothers and sisters.
"What's the matter, why did your regiment leader run away by himself?"
Alex, who had just commanded his subordinates to pass through Viper Town and began to march towards the Orc Forest, naturally saw Jesse's unusual behavior, but he was in the rear army and had to control the overall situation, so he could only pull a soldier who had just been by Jesse's side and ask why.
"Lal said that her things were taken by the orcs, so the head of the regiment rushed out directly, and it was estimated that it was a very valuable thing. Old Deputy Commander, should we follow?" This soldier has been in the Legion for a long time, and is also one of Jesse's personal guards, and he has a slight hesitation on his face, not knowing whether he should follow.
"As a guard, your first task is to protect your commander, bring a hundred people, catch up first, if you encounter any situation, send an alarm, I will send someone to help, remember, if you encounter orcs, you must not fight, they are here to meet us. ”
"Answer?!" the guard was startled and subconsciously shouted, but Alex's cold look immediately made him lower his voice and shut his mouth. I didn't dare to say more, so I ordered a hundred men and horses to run directly into the valley, and rushed in along the traces left by Jesse.
There are many borders between the Ron Empire and the Orc Empire, but the closest to the Kotler Empire is the pass of Pit Viper Town, the Ron Empire has no slavery system, so although the Orc Empire has been closed to the country for more than 20 years, the relationship with the Ron Empire is several times better than the other two empires, this pass is not big, although it is also an important place, but the Ron Empire does not attach importance to it, this is also a kind of self-confidence of a big country, the pass is not more than 20 miles long.
After passing through Pit Viper Town, the large army marched for more than two hours before walking out of the pass, and as soon as Alex came out, he heard a terrible wolf howl in front of him, and looked up in surprise to see that the thin Jesse was confronting a werewolf with a dagger.
Unlike ordinary werewolves, this werewolf's face was full of spots, which made it funny no matter how you looked at it, but the steel claws on his forearms that emitted cold light made Alex feel his eyes sting.
"Give it back to my sister!"
At this time, Alex noticed that the werewolf was holding a palm-sized leather bag in his other hand, and around the two of them, all the war horses were uneasy with their hooves, as if they had encountered a natural enemy.
"It turns out that this is the Dragon's Relic!" the flower-faced werewolf shook the leather bag in his hand with a playful face, and slowly circled around with ease following Jesse's footsteps, but he didn't want his words to almost make Alex fall off his horse.
What Jesse gave to his sister was actually dragon dung!
