Beta teleported back to Bronze Drum City, and after releasing Alice from the mansion art space, chatted with her casually, and then teleported back to the Holy City of Woking.
As soon as she returned to Woking City, before she had time to rest, she heard Shirley say that Sunderland had declared war on Hollevin.
Beta was taken aback: "Didn't Sunderland have a thousand-year ally with Huo Levin? How could it be!"
"The courier has been waiting for you in the city for five days now." Shirley put a letter in front of Beta: "This is a call-up order from the king. I hope you can bring your own army to participate in the front-line war."
Beta frowned: "The army from me... Wait, I seem to have an army."
Shirley nodded: "The Frostwolf clan has already moved here. They kept their promises and did not make trouble. With our help, they established their own military camp outside the city. Now the Winter Wolf Saintess is in charge of them." .”
Beta thought for a while and said, "Go and invite the messenger and the Winter Wolf Saintess to my study."
After Shirley left, Beta leaned on the chair and closed her eyes to rest. Although he was really taken aback just now, thinking about it now, it is not surprising that Sunderland declared war on Hollevin.
More than half a year ago, Sunderland was already in a civil war, and now the winner should be decided. Regardless of whether Sunderland was won by the old forces or the rebels, Sunderland must be riddled with holes. They urgently need a lot of wealth to rebuild their homeland, and aggression is a good way.
Besides, Beta felt that there might be a certain divine religion behind this incident. After all, the civil strife in Sunderland was too fast, the war ended too quickly, and the declaration of war was also very fast. There was a kind of thing that was done one by one Feel.
Beta rested for a while, and not long after, the messenger and the Queen of the Winter Wolf came to the study.
The believer was a middle-aged man with a weathered face. He saluted respectfully, and then relayed the king's words.
The general idea is that the king needs him to go to the front line in two months, which is the city of Sicily. Because he knows that his territory is still under construction, it doesn't matter whether he brings troops or not, as long as he arrives. After listening, Beta said he knew, and sent a few more silver coins to the messenger.
After the courier retreated happily, Beta said to the winter wolf saint: "You heard it too, the war... Although the king didn't tell me to take people there, as a lord, no matter how you say it, you have to bring a hundred people." People are full of face, so please send a small team to listen to my command for the time being."
"Since we are your subjects, this is our duty." The Winter Wolf Saintess said kindly, "I will dispatch the 100 strongest fighters for you to command, Lord. Please command them carefully. "
Hearing what the Winter Wolf Saintess said, Beta was a little happy. He asked the Saintess of the Winter Wolf to come here just to see if she was willing to send troops to the front line. If she was willing, it meant that she at least understood human affairs and knew who was her master here.
To put it bluntly, it is an implicit test.
It's no wonder that Beta made such an unnecessary move... Although the Frostwolf Clan said they had taken refuge in him, they were outsiders after all, and all the people were soldiers. Beta had no real power to command them. a troublesome thing.
The performance of the Winter Wolf Saintess made Beta very satisfied. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to bring the soldiers back."
Next, Beta rested in Woking City for a month, and then set off with a hundred newly dispatched Frostwolf Clan fighters.
Beta could have directly sent the hundred Frostwolf warriors to Sicilia City, but he did so mainly because of two considerations. One is that he wants to march with these Frostwolf warriors, to cultivate a tacit understanding, and the combat effectiveness of an army with a tacit understanding will be increased by at least 50%, and the orders will be banned, like a messenger. Secondly, Beta didn't want him to know about the large teleportation array, it spread too much.
Although he also teleported a caravan, it was only a small-scale teleportation of a dozen people, and it could be done with a little effort. But when teleporting hundreds of people at a time, the situation is completely different.
Outside the city of Bodu, a team of hundreds of people galloped on the main road. At the speed of this team, there was still about five or six days' distance from Sicilia City.
Beta rode a war horse, and the mounts of the Frostwolf warriors were naturally snow wolves.
This kind of snow wolf is nearly two meters tall, has amazing endurance, and is not slow. Moreover, they have armor on their key parts, so they can be regarded as heavy cavalry.
Along the way, Beta ate and slept with them, from being strangers at the beginning, to getting to know each other more than ten days later, and now these Frostwolf warriors have been able to carry out Beta's orders very well.
Because everyone has a mount, each of them carries more than ten days of dry food on them, and the villages and cities along the road can also supply supplies, so there is no need for a logistics team at all.
It was almost evening now, and Beta was looking for an open place to rest. It would be even better if he could find a city or village where he could settle down.
At this time, the female werewolf Doug Siss instigated the Frostwolf and drove alongside Beta, saying at the same time: "Your Excellency, my little Pete told me that there is a strong smell of blood in front, it is human, it may be big massacre."
Most members of the Frostwolf Clan have werewolf blood, and they can understand the language of wolf creatures.
Beta's expression changed, and he shouted back: "Speed up."
Originally, the speed of the whole team was fast enough, but now it is much faster.
Soon the beta team came to a small village on the side of the road.
A strong smell of blood came from this village... Even with Beta's human sense of smell, he could smell waves of rust.
"Dog Sissy, take half of the people to scout around the village to see if there are any other changes. Others, follow me into the village."
The team immediately divided into two teams, and Beta entered the village immediately. The village was very quiet, and there was no one in sight, not even a dog.
There are many drag marks on the ground, towards the direction of the center of the village, Beta raised his vigilance, followed the drag marks to the center of the village, and then saw a scene like hell.
Nearly three hundred corpses were piled up into a hill. Many of them are underage children, and Beta even saw two babies under one year old.
On the ground below this mountain of corpses, there is a thick layer of bloody mud... The blood has seeped into the ground, soaking at least 800 square meters of mud into a blood-colored muddy ground, like a small swamp.
Beta closed her eyes for a while, and then opened them again. There was neither happiness nor sadness in her eyes, not even a look of anger.
"Let's spread out and investigate the village to see if we can find clues about the murderer."
