Chapter 100: The Eve of the Auction
The werewolf captain's face was serious, and he couldn't see a trace of hypocrisy, and Kahler smiled slightly and said: "Our army is all non-prime-age soldiers, three days is too short, can you be more lenient?"
Shaking his head very affirmatively, the werewolf captain said again: "Within the territory of the Orc Empire, there is only a three-day time limit, and if it is outdated, it will be regarded as an invasion." After saying that, he didn't care what problems Kahler and Faramir had, so he turned around and left.
The werewolf captain came and went quickly, Faramor was dumbfounded, but the second prince Kahler had a look on his face, and there was a faint anger on Lamo's face, and he waved his hand and said: "Don't be angry, the orcs are pragmatic, you will understand after a long time, I really didn't expect it, I really borrowed it." Faramir listened to the words of the second prince, first stunned, and then his face was full of guilt, the werewolf captain came to tell the orc empire that the news could be borrowed was originally a good thing, but the werewolf captain's face was serious, and good things sounded like bad things.
As Calle's entourage, no matter what aspect, he has to maintain the majesty of the prince, but before Faramir could get angry, the werewolf captain had already turned around and left, and the fire was gone, Faramir naturally felt aggrieved, and the second prince said such a thing, proving that he really didn't care about this kind of thing that damaged his majesty, but how could he endure it, and he also praised the orc empire?
"My dear military judge, when we have the strength, it's not too late to get angry, the top priority, let's settle the matter of the auction first, do you still think that the perfume made by the Orc Empire will be cracked?" Shaking his head slightly, Lamo still looked puzzled, and Calle didn't have anything in his hand, and walked straight to the academy.
Faramor looked at the back of the Second Highness leaving, first sighed, and then forced an excited look to follow.
While Calle and Faramir were anxious about the auction, the deputy commander of the Sunset Army also ran into a little trouble.
With the order of the head of the ghost clown, the candidates who want to enter the war were selected and began to train, and the scouts were also sent out, but no one has come back until now, this situation is not uncommon, after thinking about it, Alex looked at the shadow of Glory City to understand the reason.
No matter how you calculate it, within a radius of a hundred miles is the jurisdiction of Glory City, the army patrols almost every day, at the foot of the imperial capital, how can there be bandits, think about the scouts they sent have expanded the scope of spying, and it is understandable that no one comes back, but the speed of the large army cannot reach fifty miles a day, not that this distance is too long, but too short.
The commander of the ghost and ugly regiment must have considered that the legion was all veterans after all, and it was inconvenient to march, and he could reach it even if he walked fifty miles a day, but he would never have imagined how painful this kind of order would be for the soldiers under him.
Fifty miles is not long, a morning can almost be finished, according to the order of the regiment commander to walk fifty miles to set up camp, that idle time has the task of training, no task can only watch the training, or accompany the training, low horns, loud shouts, the veterans in the sunset army can stand it, but the people around the station can not stand this kind of toss.
On the second day of the westward journey, the nearby lords and nobles came to question, although it was already the end of autumn, and the crops in the fields had almost been cleaned up, even if the legion passed by, there would be no trampling on the grain fields, but in the eyes of the noble lords, this marching legion was a mobile oil drum with oil and water to fish.
But to their surprise, this Sunset Legion is still a porcupine with thorns, not only did it not gain at all, but the people who went to question were actually beaten out of the barracks by random sticks, this result directly made the surrounding lords and nobles angry, and the private army mercenaries gathered, and even wanted to surround the Sunset Legion!
At noon that day, Alex found a trace of abnormality after dispersing those who came to question, so he ordered to camp directly, and all those who could fight were on guard at any time, others did not know about the empire, but Alex understood that these people were nothing more than trying to get benefits from the Sunset Legion, it was a practice to have compensation in all places before, but only when there were crops in the grain fields, it was now late autumn, the crops had already been harvested, and the earth had begun to lie dormant and wait for next year to plow and plant, and there was no way to talk about compensation, so when those people came, he ordered to go out of the camp directly, and then set up camp。
Almost after the camp, those private troops and mercenaries have already appeared in sight, after giving the order, Alex sat outside the tent, the number of weapons in the Eighth Legion is not much, and most of them are old weapons, on the battlefield, I am afraid that it will be scrapped after a few uses, looking at the size of the other party, there should be hundreds of people, looking at their chaotic march, the old deputy head directly sneered and shouted: "Alert arrow!"
After the order, the archer twisted the bow and set the arrow, the long bow body raised the strings and pulled to the full moon, a clanging sound, the feather arrow left the string, with a terrible scream, the feather arrow crossed the sky, fell in front of the private army and the mercenary array, the scream was extremely harsh, when the feather arrow landed, whether it was a private army or a mercenary, they involuntarily stopped, the private army and the mercenary rarely deal with the army, but also understood the purpose of this feather arrow, but I didn't expect that this legion composed of the old, weak, sick and disabled called by the noble lord could also shoot the feather arrow to a hundred meters away, which was indeed unexpected。
Hearing that scream, many nobles have changed their faces, this kind of feather arrow is called a warning arrow is a special feather arrow, only the regular army can be equipped with this kind of thing, ordinary private troops can not see this, the feather arrow landed immediately a few nobles have a heart of retreat, and there are relatively ruthless disdainful of it.
When there is a difference of opinion, it is natural to integrate the opinions first, so this group of stupid hopelessly but unaware nobles and lords discussed the stupidest decision in their lives: salute first and then soldier.
Go to negotiate first, think that the person sent before coming is just a low status and is not taken seriously, but if you go in person, the other party will definitely have to give some face, if the negotiation is not good, it is not too late to make a decision on whether to advance or retreat.
And just as they were discussing the strategy that they thought was feasible, Alex also read the letter that the ghost had left for him, and he also had a countermeasure in his mind for what was going to happen next.
Alex almost didn't laugh when he saw those noble lords leaving the team alone and coming to the camp gate, he thought they would rush up, but it turned out that he came to negotiate, since he came, let him in first.
As soon as the camp door opened, the Sunset Legion lined up and welcomed them, and Alex stood at the end, looking at these arrogant lords with a smile on his face, the veterans in the queue were specially selected, they were all some old soldiers, and they were not holding weapons in their hands, but all kinds of farm tools, which seemed to outsiders to be so funny and funny, no matter how you looked at it, they would not think that this was a legion, but a ragtag gang composed of a group of old farmers.
Seeing this scene, the nobles who were originally frightened by the warning arrows also slowly regained their self-confidence, since the other party has lined up to greet them, it is a sign of weakness, so what they want to say is simple, it seems that the strategy is effective, and the other party is ready to bleed.
Alex sneered in his heart, watching this invincible noble lord completely walk into the camp gate without a defense, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and before the nobles standing at the front could react, the camp gate composed of logs fell violently, and all the noble lords who came in were all locked in the camp gate.
"Now that you're in, ...... Just stay a few more days!" Alex waved his hand, and the soldiers who had long been ready to attack were holding weapons on the necks of these noble lords who had been invincible a moment ago, and the noble lords with pale faces did not dare to breathe, things were developing too fast, and they were too weird, and they had become prisoners without thinking about anything, looking at the old man who was smiling just now with a serious face and scanning everyone, his eyes were like arrows that made everyone's faces hurt.
"Wine bags and rice bags, a bunch of imperial moths, take them down!" Alex was disappointed, and turned back to the big tent with a flick of his hand.
Inside the City of Glory.
When the sun began to set in the west, Calle took Faramir to the auction where the auction was to be held, and the perfume obtained from Daisy today will be the finale of the auction, and the news spread throughout the city of glory in one day, whether it is a high-ranking official or a wealthy businessman, all know that the mysterious perfume is auctioned in the second largest auction house in the city of glory, it is said that this perfume has a magical effect, the fragrance floats, not strong or strong, and has the effect of calming the nerves, whether it is usually sprayed on the body or placed in the house is the best choice, so the miraculous effect naturally attracts everyone's attention, but relatively speaking, the price of this auction is also amazingly high。
A bottle of top perfume on the market is no more than a thousand gold coins at most, but the starting price of this bottle of perfume has reached 15,000 gold coins, and I heard that it is the price set by the young master of the auction himself, which makes people curious, what is the appearance of this perfume, how effective it is, and whether it is worth the price, these questions can only be revealed when the perfume appears.
As soon as the two entered the hall, their brows couldn't help frowning at the same time, the hall was full of people, all kinds of smells were mixed, but both Calle and the military judge smelled a familiar smell, and after glancing at each other, Calle looked at a young man who seemed to be about the same age as himself and walked towards him in the crowd.
"Your Highness, this is your classmate of the same grade, and he is also the young master of this auction, and it is he who has accepted our perfume. However, his subordinates didn't expect that he would dare to use it directly, and I will definitely ask for an explanation. After saying that, Faramir was about to step forward and question, but Kahler grabbed him directly, shook his head and said, "It's okay, this is also a diluted perfume, don't worry." ”
As soon as the two finished whispering, the young man in a beige costume also walked in front of the two.
"Please come with me, Your Highness, for there are important guests who would like to discuss with you about the auction of your perfume. The boy bowed slightly, the hall was mixed, there had been assassinations in the academy before, Calle was dressed in ordinary clothes, too cumbersome salute, but Kahler would be the focus, so it seemed that the young man in front of him was quite thoughtful.
After hearing this, Calle raised his eyebrows, looked at the young man's somewhat cramped look, guessed in his heart that he had probably reached a conclusion, smiled slightly and said softly: "Lead the way ahead." ”
