The convoy stopped after walking two miles, which was too slow. But there are no serious roads at all in the Black Forest. There are so many ditches and ridges, and you have to go uphill and downhill from time to time.
Nearly one hundred and fifty voodoo swamp citizens were left behind, but less than fifty could follow Erlidi to the first supply point. They walked numbly in the cold wind, and they looked like zombies from a distance.
When these people rely on a tenacious will, they try their best to come. When they saw Zhou Qingfeng really staying on the side of the road to wait for them, these guys could take a few more breaths with excitement, and their steps accelerated.
There are enough hot water pipes for the replenishment point, but the bread filling the stomach is only as small as a palm. This bit of food is stuffed into the stomach indiscriminately, and it makes people hungry.
Everyone who can catch up has a dark face, but their numb eyes are now shining brightly. After Zhou Qingfeng sent out fifty loaves of bread, he only left the sentence, "I'm waiting for you in front," and then left with a few people from the supply point.
So those zombie-like guys continued to move forward slowly...
Druidnar followed Zhou Qingfeng and asked in a low voice: "Your Excellency Hugo, why are you doing such a meaningless thing?"
Zhou Qingfeng’s pony was used to pull a trailer filled with cauldrons of boiling water. He sat on the cowl with a wry smile and said, “Giving hope to others is also giving hope to myself. I want to maintain this team but I can’t give them anything else. Then it can only give hope.
Ms. Nar, I can't give you power and wealth, but I also give you hope. You believe that I can lead the humans of the Black Forest free from the threat of goblins, and believe that I can help you find the legendary Silver Leaf City.
Everything I do is to maintain the cohesion of the team. I want everyone to believe in me and believe that following me is bound to have a better future. "
Nar listened very seriously, but after a while she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I have been living in the Black Forest, and I don't know what the nobles outside are like. But I think you can persuade people. It makes sense. I hope you don't lie to me."
The team continued to move forward, and Zhou Qingfeng fulfilled his promise, setting up a rescue station every two or three miles to help those weak at the back to move on.
But there are fewer and fewer people who can keep up, and many of them even fall and die when they are about to be rescued.
Five or six kilometers of mountain roads traveled throughout the day, and only two hundred and twenty people could follow Zhou Qingfeng to reach the Iron Ore Valley safely. This is almost twice as expected. How many people can live is related to Zhou Qingfeng's future development, and he must pay attention to it.
Yes, on the march today, he is indeed thinking about the future. The waste from these voodoo swamps will be the capital of his future. A concerted journey is good for the mental state of the entire team.
When he arrived at the Iron Ore Valley, Zhou Qingfeng asked Rubio to arrange camping and eating and drinking. He went to see Fei Zhe, the leader of the settlement.
After the mobilization last night, the human settlements that joined the Resistance Alliance basically deployed troops and materials to gather in the Iron Ore Valley as planned. Old Borg and Jason, who were in charge of supervision, also said that each family rarely kept their promises and did not play to the details.
"The main reason is that the temptation of Silver Leaf City is too great. Everyone is unwilling to give up opportunities that have only appeared in the past few decades." Seeing Old Borg again, the bald dwarf looked very excited and kept reporting to Zhou Qingfeng for a day. work.
Jason also sighed: "The fairy murals in the Iron Mine Valley let everyone see another world. Even I am deeply shocked. I feel that the ones I fought for in the past are too low-level. Everyone's ambitions are reintroduced under your instigation. Active, even swelling."
At this moment, two or three hundred adventurers from different settlements poured into the chamber of the Iron Ore Valley. Through the chandelier above their heads, they admired the splendid sun mural above the dome.
After reading it, some people were speechless, some sobbed, and some sighed, all in all.
When Zhou Qingfeng pushed open the oak door of the chamber, the old dwarf shouted in a loud voice behind him: "Your Excellency Victor Hugo is here."
This sound was extremely sudden, and Uncle Zhou was taken aback by the yelling of the roll-call. When he turned around, he saw the old dwarf winking at him triumphantly. He could only put away the urge to roll his eyes, and said in a low voice,'Thank you, Mr. Borg. '
Singing fame is like magic, and the originally noisy hall is solemnly quiet.
The people in the hall are excited and excited by the dome murals. Many people have experienced the biggest impact in their lives today, and they are all excited. After hearing the roll call, they quickly stood up and looked at the young man who walked in with the most respect.
As the landlord, Fei Zhe quickly took a few steps, stood beside Zhou Qingfeng, and shouted proudly in front of everyone: "Let me introduce you to everyone. This is your Excellency Victor Hugo who has gathered all of us. A wise, fair, and great person."
With a smile on Zhou Qingfeng's face, he nodded slightly in salute to everyone. But he was complaining in his heart: "Great ghost! I'm just a rookie now. No matter how high a hat I wear, I won't give you a dime."
But there were old dwarfs and Fei Zhe who made the move, and the emotions of the people in the hall were even more excited. Someone hurried forward a few steps, grabbed Zhou Qingfeng's hand with tears in his eyes, and choked on his name.
"Dear Hugo, I am Antai from the Fallen Leaf Camp. It is a great honor to meet you. I have always hoped to meet truly noble people. Today I finally got my wish."
There is nothing false about this excitement.
Zhou Qingfeng smiled and nodded, and answered formulaically, "It is also my honor to know you."
There was a leader, and a wave of people swarmed up behind Zhou Qingfeng to shake hands with him to introduce himself, describing the indescribable feelings in his heart. It seems that it is a great honor to know him, the kind that can brag for a few lifetimes.
Seeing the crowds are raging, Uncle Zhou has to worry about whether his small body will be squeezed to death by these sturdy men.
Fortunately, the ranger Luke he was familiar with stood up, coughed heavily, and shouted angrily: "Everyone, pay attention to etiquette. Your Excellency Hugo is my guest. It's really shameful for you to be so noisy."
The crowd who rushed in were rebuked by this, and finally became much more orderly. In order to shake hands with Zhou Qingfeng, many old men rubbed his palms on his body several times, just to clean it up.
Some people even felt that shaking hands was not enough to express their inner excitement and respect, so they simply walked up to Uncle Zhou and knelt down on one knee and swore allegiance on the spot.
"Fortunately, Lao Tzu is not a woman. Otherwise, are these guys playing kisses?" Zhou Qingfeng had a smile on his face, as if the head of state met his vassals, listening to these ruthless people in the Black Forest respectfully introduce themselves, in my heart It was dumbfounding.
The two or three hundred people have to walk in front of Zhou Qingfeng one by one, which really wastes a lot of time. Uncle Zhou was originally here to discuss matters, but he didn't expect all his time to be wasted on red tape etiquette.
It's just this great opportunity to buy people's hearts, but Zhou Qingfeng couldn't give up. He could only let time slowly pass, and the whole reception ceremony was completed successfully.
As long as you shook hands with Zhou Qingfeng, or knelt allegiance to him, it was like going abroad thirty years ago, as if it was plated with a golden body.
All the people present were beaming with joy, their eyes were radiant, and their backs were straight. They all began to speak literally and change their tone, as if they had become cultural people from locals in an instant.
