"Yi? This is a holy knight's badge of the temple. How could you have such a thing?" Qiao Qiao looked at the thing in Du Wei's hand and saw Du Wei's nervous face, so he couldn't help asking: " It is absolutely impossible for outsiders to obtain the Holy Knight Badge! You... you probably forged it! You forged the Holy Knight Badge, do you want to deal with the temple... Ah, maybe you stole it!"
Du Wei smiled wryly: "This thing... hehe, it really belongs to "me"!"
Qiao Qiao didn't believe it, she shook her head and said, "You can't lie to me. The holy knight badges are all stamped with holy power, and the back of each badge has the owner's name stamped on it. Even if it is a magician, it cannot be forged. If you say that this badge is yours, just turn it over and show it to me."
Du Wei froze for a moment, on the back... the name of Aragorn was engraved on the back, if she really wanted to show it to this woman, wouldn't she stare out her eyes
Du Wei was in a dilemma, but Qiao Qiao sneered, and suddenly snatched it away. After all, Qiao Qiao is also a high-level warrior with both skills in magic and martial arts. How could Du Wei, an ordinary mage, beat her
Qiao Qiao snatched the badge and turned it over. When she saw the back, she suddenly covered her mouth, said "ah", and looked at Du Wei again, her eyes were indescribably weird.
Du Wei sighed, not knowing how to explain it. Qiao Qiao had a strange expression on his face: "This. Is this really yours? I can see that this badge doesn't seem to be forged... But, how could the temple give you such a badge? Could it be that you have already taken refuge in the temple?"
Du Wei was also taken aback. Taking the badge from Qiao Qiao's hand and looking at the back, his expression couldn't help but become weird.
The texture on the back. It's no longer "Aragorn-Roland"! A few simple patterns. In the end, a brand new name was formed!
"Dwey Rudolph Rollin"
Du Wei himself opened his mouth. Take a deep breath. Only then forced a smile: "Look, I said earlier that this is mine. But you don't believe it."
He quickly put the badge into his arms.
Qiao Qiao narrowed his eyes: "I don't doubt that you really take refuge in the temple, you. You really don't have much respect for the goddess. Even if everyone in this world believes in God, you don't know Xindi. This point. I still I know you well."
After saying this, Qiao Qiao suddenly showed a rare gentle smile on his face. Especially the last sentence "knowing you". When it comes out. I feel even more uneasy like a deer hitting my heart, but there is still such a faint sweetness.
She immediately noticed that there was something different in her demeanor. He hurriedly coughed, and then said in a deep voice: "It's just that you got the badge of the temple. Do you want to attack the temple in the future? I just want to remind you that the gang of magic sticks are not easy to mess with. "
Du Wei laughed twice... But this is hard to explain. This is a long story.
snort. Whether it's Aragon or Duwei 234... It's complicated to say. If you really want to explain. It's simple.
It's like a guy playing an online game and registering an "Aragorn" account first. After reaching level 100, he failed to deal with a super ultimate boss, the Goddess of Light. Then he found that he was leveling in the wrong direction. Can only re-register a "Duwei" trumpet. Then transfer the full set of equipment, game currency, experience points, etc. to this trumpet. Practice again to level 100 to challenge the BOSS. It's a pity to fail again. In the end, he had to create a new account "Du Wei 2. Transferred all the equipment and experience points and other things again. Started a new journey to fight the boss...
Things are actually as fucking simple as that!
It's just these... Who can Du Wei tell
these troubles. Who can Du Wei confide in these burdens? Who can understand his words?
Du Wei and his team headed towards the imperial capital. In the evening, they came to a small town. According to Du Wei's instructions, the team rested here for one night. This move was immediately unanimously supported by the accompanying cavalry guards.
Looking at these lazy local garrison troops, Du Wei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He had seen the elite Northwest Army under Lu Gao's command in the northwest. The army is in order. Well trained. There is evidence to advance and retreat, it is really a first-class elite soldier!
Not to mention the cavalry on the grassland. The fighting power is amazing. In addition, he is excellent in equestrian skills, and has a savage temperament like the prairie people. It is the strongest cavalry in the world!
But the quality of the garrison in these parts of the empire...
It was just walking with Du Wei's carriage for two days, and because Rodriguez and Jojo were recovering from injuries in order to take care of Du Wei. Also deliberately slowed down the speed of progress. But this group of veteran soldiers... Seeing that they only rode on the horse for a long time, they all looked tired, their waists were sore and their legs hurt, they yawned and complained, if it wasn't for the military order, and the awe of a big man like Du Wei , I'm afraid I can't support it long ago.
If this kind of garbage soldier was under the command of Longbottom's 250th General, he would have been kicked out of the barracks long ago.
Although the army of the empire has spring drills every year, this good tradition has been maintained for thousands of years. Although a lot of military expenditures have been wasted, it aims to keep the army at full combat effectiveness-but after all, the system is dead, and people are alive. In some places, the annual spring drills are perfunctory, and Du Wei is not ignorant of this kind of concealment.
Moreover, after all, even the spring drills can be strictly enforced, but after all, there is only one time a year. The combat effectiveness of the army is not something that can be solved just by spring drills once a year.
The largest inn in this small town was naturally taken over by Du Wei and his party. Before Du Wei could give orders, hundreds of cavalrymen entered the inn long ago. The boss and the guys inside were terrified, and hurriedly brought tea and water.
And some cavalry even took off their armor by themselves... Even Rodriguez shook his head when he saw it.
He couldn't help but smiled wryly at Du Wei: "These guardian cavalry are really useless. Although this trip is just to escort you, it is not a formal military operation, but after all, you are on the march. You can't order it. You dare to remove your armor. This It's already a violation of military regulations."
Du Wei shook his head: "The empire has been established for thousands of years. The mainland is unified. Looking around, there are no big opponents in this world, and there have never been any large-scale wars. Now... except for the Northwest Army, the Northern Storm Army, and The Royal City Guards, and the Southern Swamp Army, other than these main battle armies, the other local garrison troops have been disarmed for a long time, and even some are not as good as some private troops raised by noble families. In fact, this is not surprising ... It's been too long since I haven't fought a war. The army has the ability to fight! The real strong army is not from training. 20,000 cavalry. Although there are only 20,000, all of them are so brave!"
Speaking of which. Du Wei shook his head again and again.
He didn't bother to care about these garrison cavalry. Instead, some of these cavalry officers came to flatter them. After preparing a first-class room, he ordered the boss to bring food and wine. If it weren't for Du Wei's fear of trouble, even the chief garrison of this small town would have been called to have an audience.
Du Wei didn't even bother to use fine wine and food. Just eat something. He just excused himself to be tired and wanted to rest. As soon as he left, the cavalry below immediately became happy. Drink three times and drink four times at a time, a big bowl of fine wine. Eat meat in chunks.
Rodriguez next to him sneered... On the way. These cavalrymen drank freely. Get drunk! If the army under the Duke of Tulip. It was dragged out and chopped up long ago! But these guys seem to be used to it. Even the officer leading the team had red eyes from drinking—look at the appearance of these people. I'm afraid I can't wait to find a few more singing girls to accompany me to be more satisfied.
Rodriguez was born as a standard knight, so he couldn't see this kind of scene. After a while, he simply went with Du Wei.
at dusk. Du Wei is in the room. Holding the badge, thinking in his heart, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes coming from outside the hotel downstairs!
The sound of hooves approached from a distance. But it sounds, but it seems to be extremely neat, even in the middle of Mercedes-Benz. The queue is not chaotic! And when they reached the door, the sound of horseshoes stopped in an orderly manner, but there was no neighing! Obviously these people's riding skills are extremely good, and they have great control over the horses!
"In the territory of the empire, is there an army of this quality?" Du Wei was curious, so he couldn't help but pushed the door and walked out.
In the lobby of the hotel, I saw more than twenty riders parked outside the door. These people are all dressed in bright hard armor, lined with leather robes, and immediately hang short crossbows that are only equipped by the main battle legion. Above the peeping, there is a long snow-white feather. Behind each cavalry, there is a Wearing a gray cloak.
Then I heard a deep and majestic voice shouting: "Everyone dismounts, tidies up our equipment, and we eat here! Everyone must not leave their swords and bows! In addition... three people are left to take care of the horses, and they are not allowed to leave the horses for half a step!"
After finishing speaking, the man jumped off his horse, and the twenty cavalrymen behind him dared to dismount. These people moved neatly and vigorously. Even when they walked into the lobby, the sound of the owl's leather boots seemed so energetic. The cavalry ruthlessly rejected the inn waiter's move to lead the horse, but automatically separated three people to lead the horse, and let the waiter lead the way to the stable behind.
"During the march, military horses are not allowed to be taken care of by idlers! This is a military rule! What fodder the horses eat and what water they drink must go through our hands!!"
After the leader walked into the hall, he was dressed in silver armor, which made his already burly and majestic body even more upright. Unlike the subordinates behind him, his cloak was bright red, but Along the way, there was a lot of dust - but even so, it was more sturdy than the defenders in the lobby!
The man walked in with big strides, seeing the drunken scene inside, he couldn't help showing a deep disdain in the tiger's eyes, and even showed a faint anger, as if he was about to say something, but he gritted his teeth and sneered , ignoring the drunk guys inside, went straight to the corner and sat down, while the dozen or so cavalrymen behind him, even walking with full vigilance, came to the leader's side , but faintly formed a defensive formation.
The drunken garrison soldiers nearby fell silent when they saw these dozen or so people coming in. Although they drank a lot of wine, after all, the costumes of the imperial military system can still be seen!
I saw the leader wearing a red cloak among the dozen or so riders who came in. He looks about thirty or forty years old, with firm facial lines. Even if it is slightly tired at the moment. But without any loss of might. And... his armored chest. Wear a ground badge. Impressively showed his identity, he is a genuine general! !
and. The cavalry behind him had gray cloaks. Silver armor. White feathers on the helmet... These are the characteristics. Instantly recognizable. These people are one of the Imperial Landlord War Legions. The Storm Legion stationed at the southern end of the northern frozen forest!
The owner of this hotel. He is also a clever man who sends people from south to north. He ran up quickly. It's just that he was stopped by two cavalry from the Storm Legion from a distance, and he didn't dare to approach. He could only ask respectfully: "Dear guests, what do you need?"
"Food. Be clean. Be fast. There is still water! Then give it to my people, everyone's skins are filled with water. Everything must be fast, we still have to hurry."
The boss smiled again: "My lord, we have famous local fine wine here, do you want to..."
The general stared suddenly. He hummed heavily, so humming. It seems to have a deep power. The boss couldn't help but his legs went limp, and he almost sat down. He heard the general sneer and said: "Drinking alcohol during the march is a crime of beheading!"
He said this very loudly, and the group of defenders beside him heard it. Many people showed disapproving expressions. It's just that the other party is a general. Everyone dared not speak. for a while. The hall fell silent.
After a while, the group of leading officers of the garrison. Only then did I manage to tidy up my appearance. He coughed twice. Come and salute honestly. The general glanced at him and saw that the officer was flushed from drinking. His eyes were even colder, and he just returned a salute lightly. Don't bother.
"Master General, we are the XX Garrison Camp in XX City, and I am the second-level cavalry commander of the team leader. It is our honor to meet a general of the Empire here!"
Then the general sneered: "You are also considered soldiers? If it was under my command, all of them would have been beheaded! Disappear from my eyes quickly. I have important matters, so I don't bother to bother with you. Otherwise... hum snort."
The officer shuddered. Quickly apologized and retreated, it was just the garrison cavalry. As long as everyone's face is unhappy, the wine is of course undrinkable. Half of the people ran out of the lobby in desperation, and there were still people who were unwilling. Then he hugged the flagon and left. It seems that he went back to his room and continued to drink.
After the hall became quiet, the general suddenly sighed softly: "Such military quality... Sigh. How can we fight when we are in danger!"
A cavalryman next to him seemed to be his confidant, but he comforted him in a low voice: "General, the empire's strong army is not without it. The royal city guards are very good, and the empire's navy..."
"Navy!" The general couldn't help smiling wryly when he heard this: "No matter how powerful the warship is, can it come to land! This time... oh, let's not talk about it, everyone sits down and eats. After eating and drinking, let's hurry up and get on the road!"
When he gave an order, the cavalry standing around dared to sit down one after another. Everyone sat quietly. After the food was delivered, some people checked it.
After eating and drinking in a short while, the general stood up and was about to order people to leave when he suddenly heard a laugh from above.
"Ah... If I remember correctly, this is General Andrea of the Storm Legion!"
Afterwards, he saw a young man in a fine attire coming down the stairs. When General Andre heard this, he immediately turned around and looked deeply at him.
This young man is naturally Du Wei. Du Wei smiled and said: "General Andre, have you forgotten? I am Du Wei. I used to be Du Wei-Rolin, and now I am Du Wei-Rudolph. When I left Ice When the forest was closed, you and Master Clark brought people to find me together. We walked together for a few days."
General Andre thought for a while, and immediately remembered, but hurried forward two steps, slightly bowed his body, and gave a military salute: "It's His Excellency Duke Tulip! Andre of the Storm Legion has seen Duke Tulip!"
Du Wei walked down, came to Andre's desk, and pulled him to sit down. Andre hesitated for a moment, but sat down patiently.
"General Andre, you are not in the north, why did you come here? I remember the imperial military law, soldiers are not allowed to leave their garrison area without authorization. Could it be that you are going south this time for some urgent matter?"
When Du Wei asked, General Andre's face became serious, he hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, to tell you the truth... There is indeed trouble in the north. This time, I honor the commander of our army, General Rostock Order, return to the imperial capital to report the situation to the military command, and at the same time... "
He smiled wryly: "At the same time, I also have an audience with His Royal Highness the Regent, asking for... reinforcements!"
