"Master, the letter has been sent, and it will be delivered in about a quarter of an hour." At this time, Noyce trotted over and reported.
Du Dian nodded and said, "Have you settled the civilians you hired earlier?"
"It's been hired, and it's already waiting for you at the starting point." Noyce said with a bow.
Du Dian nodded slightly, looking at the drizzle outside, his eyes narrowed slightly, the rain in this season seems to last longer than before.
A moment later, Redcar led a heavily armed team to the castle. The civilians and a few blond nobles gathered outside the castle saw this team and moved out of the way in surprise. Although they loved Du Dian, because of the previous The "savage confession" published by the military department made many criticisms against the military department, but facing the aura of Redcar's hardcover army, they did not dare to show any disrespect.
When Redcar saw Du Dian waiting in front of the hall, he immediately got off his horse, trotted over, and said, "I've seen Master Du."
Du Dian nodded slightly, "Let's go."
There was an ugly look on Redcar's face, and he said: "Master Du, you don't know, we just got the news... The Golden Wall has been occupied by savages. Died in the line of duty, let me send you a message to let you rest at home, now the battlefield ahead is too dangerous, we can only retreat to the second line of defense at the Chiwei River, and fight to the death with the wildlings!"
Du Dian showed a surprised expression and said, "The wall of gold has fallen?"
"Yes." Redcar bowed his head.
Du Dian's expression was complicated, as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said decisively: "Since this is the case, I will come forward even more! Now is the time when manpower is needed. Your military department is fighting continuously in the rain. It is estimated that many soldiers have fallen ill. Now There is a shortage of troops. Instead of forcing ordinary people to die on the battlefield, it is better to let people like me with knight strength go to the battlefield. I dare not say anything else. I can still fight at least dozens of civilians. Don’t underestimate them. my power!"
Redka was startled, looking at the young man's resolute face, he suddenly felt a sense of shame, he gritted his teeth and said: "Master Du, I dare not underestimate your strength, but the battlefield is too dangerous, please Just stay at home and rest!"
Du Dian glanced at him and said: "I want to go out, I have agreed with your military department on this matter, can your military department's promise be changed so easily?"
Redcar's face changed slightly, and he continued: "Master Du, you misunderstood. I just persuade you, and I don't intend to stop you. The higher-ups just let me persuade..."
"Then there is no need to persuade, let's go, the battle is critical, we are mother-in-law here, what kind of man are we like?" Du Dian waved his big hand, bypassed his burly body, turned over and stepped on a horse that had been prepared, and said: "Go Bar!"
Redcar's face was flushed, he didn't expect Du Dian to be so decisive, he hesitated, sighed secretly in his heart, and said to Du Dian: "Okay, Master Du, you can change to my horse, the horses in our military department have been trained , a private horse like you has never been on a battlefield, if you encounter a mutated beast or wild man who took the opportunity to cross the golden wall, I am afraid that you will be frightened and run wild."
"Okay." Du Dian agreed to the proposal and simply jumped off the horse.
Redcar breathed a sigh of relief, took Du Dian to the outside of the castle, led a stewardess horse in front of the team to Du Dian, and said: "Master, this horse has a bit of a temper, be careful."
Du Dian smiled and grabbed the rope.
This horse had dark and thick hair, and was covered with scaly steel armor. It was about three meters high. It was the same species as the horses ridden by their hunters, and it was also the only carnivorous horse.
The black horse was led by Du Dian, he raised his head and screamed, pulled the horse rope, and turned his head to leave.
Just as Redcar was about to help suppress it, Du Dian grabbed the horse rope, rolled over, and sat on the back of the black horse.
hiss!
The healthy horse neighed, its front hooves were empty, and its body almost stood upright, as if it was about to throw Du Dian off.
Du Dian smiled, raised his hand to press the back of its neck, and pressed down gently!
Boom!
The body of the black horse stood upright at 80 degrees, and suddenly sank slightly, its hind legs gave way, and it almost fell to its knees, its front hooves quickly fell, and it landed on the ground, hissing twice in a low voice, but it didn't move any more .
Redcar was slightly surprised, glanced at Du Dian, suddenly thought of the information given to him above, heaved a sigh of relief, turned over and rode on his horse, and said to Du Dian: "Master, let's go?"
"Well." Du Dian pulled the horse rope, turned the horse's head, and walked along the road by the river.
The civilians and nobles gathered on both sides of the river bank saw Du Dian's figure, and immediately cheered and cheered.
Du Dian held the horse rope with one hand, held the helmet in his arms with the other, and walked across the river bank at a slow speed with a smile on his face. When the people gathered on both sides were gradually thrown away, he speeded up a little.
Redcar and Du Dian rode side by side, and behind him were twenty well-dressed soldiers.
When Du Dian took the time, he couldn't help looking back at the elites who were selected to defend themselves. From the weapons and decorations they carried, as well as the decorations on the armor, they can easily identify their arms. Of course, this also requires a certain military knowledge. can be easily recognized.
"Shield swordsmen, archers, knights..." Du Dian scanned, and suddenly, his eyes paused for a while on one of the figures, but he quickly moved away his eyes calmly, but his heart was not calm. The person who was dressed like other shield swordsmen radiated much more heat than other people! Moreover, through light perspective vision, one can see the beating frequency of the heart on his chest, which is extremely gentle, but the blood in the body is twisting vigorously, as if the blood contains extremely strong energy.
In addition, he has many more muscle groups than other people, including the neck, waist, face and other places, and there are also extremely dense muscle groups. This is by no means what ordinary exercises can do, but Physical leap!
Du Dian has only seen such an internal structure in Kaqi, Guinness, and Redcar next to him. That is to say, this ordinary-dressed shield swordsman is no less powerful than a high-level hunter!
"Hiding a person suspected of being a high-level hunter in the guards, is it to prevent any danger?" Du Dian frowned slightly, with some doubts in his heart. After thinking about it, there are many possibilities, including the military department sending this person to secretly assassinate himself , but such a possibility was quickly overturned by him. After all, if he was really assassinated by the guards, the military department would have to bear too much responsibility.
Although he couldn't come up with any conclusions, Du Dian didn't ask Redcar directly, so as not to startle the snake. He just kept an eye on this person in his heart and kept a certain distance.
After a while, Du Dian and Redcar led the team to the main street. Fifty or sixty figures gathered in the square of the street, wearing raincoats and holding umbrellas, waiting in the drizzle.
Seeing Du Dian's team approaching, these figures immediately raised their umbrellas and cheered Du Dian's name loudly.
Redcar frowned slightly, and was a little vigilant, in case people from the Dark Holy See or some unruly elements took the opportunity to hide in these crowds and attack Du Dian.
The team was moving straight forward, but these civilian-looking send-off teams followed all the way through the rain, shouting Du Dian's name and some nasty words of praise, which was extremely lively.
This road attracted many people from the residential houses on the side of the road. When they heard the names called by these people, they immediately opened the windows and doors and looked out.
With a smile on his face, Du Dian drove the horse forward at an unhurried speed. For him, this is a show, and only through the show can he maximize the effect of his battle, like those who don't say a word He fled to the battlefield as soon as he said a word, and no one knew his name when he died in battle. Only his relatives and friends knew that he died. This is what a passionate hero does, and he is obviously not a person who is easily passionate.
"The master is really loved by everyone." Hearing the continuous cheers in his ears, Redcar turned his head and said to Du Dian, his tone full of admiration.
Du Dian smiled slightly and said: "Treat others with kindness, and you will be treated kindly by others. This is the 'truth', isn't it?"
"The Master said so." Redcar agreed.
After a while, Du Dian and Redcar's escort team left the bustling area of the business district and came to the suburbs. After entering the suburbs, Redcar's expression immediately became serious, and he ordered the team to protect Du Dian in the middle, and moved forward in a diamond-shaped team.
When changing the formation, Du Dian suddenly noticed that the extraordinary shield swordsman leaned next to him first, and the rest quickly gathered to surround Du Dian inside.
Du Dian looked around from time to time, but only when he looked at the shield swordsman on the left, his eyes paid a little attention.
After coming to a plain near the Chiwei River, Du Dian suddenly reined in his horse and stopped, and the surrounding guards also stopped quickly. They all looked at Du Dian.
"Colonel, is the Chiwei River in front of you?" Du Dian said to Redcar who turned around and rushed over: "Could it be that you want to take me to the second line of defense of the Chiwei River? As far as I know, there is only a preliminary barrier there. If the savages don't attack the business district in a straight line from the Chiwei River, but instead choose to march from the snowfields in the north or the blackwater swamps in the south, wouldn't it be too late to stop them?"
Redcar was slightly stunned, and explained: "Master, there are soldiers in charge of these two places. If there are traces of savages, we will immediately send more troops there. The battlefield here is the safest at Chiwei River. , the savages won't be able to attack for a while."
"The safest?" Du Dian immediately showed anger deliberately on his face when he heard this, and said, "Could it be that you look down on me, officer? I went to the battlefield, not for you to protect, but to take you to kill the enemy Yes, you took me directly to the safest place, so I might as well stay at home, why go to the battlefield? Kill some savages? Could it be that everyone present are cowards, greedy for life and afraid of death?!"
Redcar's face changed, and so did the faces of the people protecting Du Dian. They were a little ugly. They tightened their grip on the horse rope and looked at Du Dian angrily, but they didn't dare to refute.
"Master, every one of our brothers here is a warrior who has gone through the battlefield, and has received countless merits and scars. I hope you will not insult us!" Redcar said with a serious expression: "It is the higher-ups who took you to the Chiwei River. Orders, we must never allow you to make any mistakes, I can understand your feelings, everyone here is eager to go out to fight the enemy in person! However, the military orders are like a mountain, I hope you will not make it difficult for us, Master."
Du Dian frowned slightly, feeling a little troublesome. It seemed that he was negligent. Although the military department agreed to enter the battlefield, he locked himself up, worrying about his accident. If he really made any mistakes, the military department took full responsibility. This is The military department is unwilling to take responsibility, sending these soldiers to say that they are defending themselves, but in fact they should be monitoring themselves.
However, since he was on the battlefield, he naturally couldn't just put on a show. If he didn't have a sense of presence and didn't have any actual meritorious service, he would inevitably become a weapon for the Mellon Consortium to fight back.
