"Eh?! What's going on?" Faced with this unexpected situation, Roger was also very surprised.【】
In fact, Roger was very good at these experienced warriors, especially the two knights with junior bronze strength, who he wanted to take under his command. Roger had tried to recruit them when he was still in Davao Fort, but
But he was firmly rejected by the knight. Unexpectedly, not long after, Chris and others actually took the initiative to mention this matter, which inevitably made Roger surprised and happy.
Seeing that Roger was at a loss, Chris emphasized again: "Sir, we are willing to follow you."
"Come on, I do have the template for the protagonist!" Roger came back to his senses and was very happy. Two knights with junior bronze strength joined him. This was great news for him. They could change Roger a little bit.
There are a lot of people under his command, but there are no elites in the embarrassing situation.
However, although Roger really hoped that everyone would join, he still decided to make it clear to them in advance: "I very much welcome everyone to join, but Solin Post is outside Lingtong Pass, and it is very dangerous to go there.
, it is very likely to be killed by undead creatures!"
Chris is a real person. Hearing this, he immediately said loudly: "If it's not dangerous, we won't go. It's our duty to destroy the undead creatures!"
"If it weren't for your help, we would have died in Fort Davao." The calm Phil smiled lightly: "Even if we die at Thorin Post this time, living these extra days is already a gift from the Supreme God. Since you
If we are going to Thorin Post, there is absolutely no reason why we should not follow him."
Several other soldiers also echoed, saying that they had the same idea as the two knights.
"These people don't take life and death seriously." After hearing what everyone said, Roger couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
But since Chris and others said so, Roger of course would no longer be pretentious, but laughed and said: "Okay, in this case we will go to Thorin Post together! We will live and die together, so that the undead creatures can come and go.
!”
"What a man who lives and dies together!" Roger's words suited Chris's taste the most. The knight laughed loudly and said, "I am really lucky to be your follower!"
Although Phil was not as excited as Chris, he saluted Roger and said, "I am willing to obey your orders!"
"Okay, let's set off!" Roger was also very happy to have acquired several capable men, and soon led everyone to leave Linton Pass.
Naturally, someone immediately reported Roger's every move to Wade. After learning that Roger had indeed left the pass with a group of people, Wade secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, Wade was finally following the adult's orders and did not have to face them.
I can finally let go of his gruesome punishments.
"Roger Lee, please don't blame me. Who knows that adult wants you dead!" Looking at the hazy sky outside, Wade felt very proud.
In fact, Wade worked so hard to frame Roger. In addition to the order of the big shot, another important reason was that he himself was very jealous of Roger. To Wade, Roger was just a mercenary leader. Why?
He has such a gentle and lovely personal maid? Why does even the beautiful daughter of the Duke of Hamilton look at him differently? This is really unbalanced. Even if such a good thing exists, it should not fall on a mercenary leader, but
It should have happened to the dignified defense captain Wade!
Thinking of this, Wade's face showed another trace of a sinister smile, and he muttered to himself viciously: "Wait until you become an undead creature!"
However, Wade's pride did not last long. His adjutant came in a hurry and whispered nervously: "Captain, something big has happened!"
"What's wrong?" Wade, who was just about to relax, asked impatiently.
"I just went to check the supplies warehouse and found... I found that nearly half of the supplies in it were missing!" This matter is really important, and the adjutant's face turned pale as he spoke.
"What?!" Wade was also frightened by the news. He quickly stood up and shouted: "So many things are missing, why didn't anyone notice? Where are the soldiers guarding the warehouse? Are they all dead?!"
"The soldiers swear that they are not lazy, but the supplies are much less." The adjutant said in panic: "Captain, let's find a way to cover up this matter first. If the higher ups find out that there is such a shortage of military supplies, our lives will be in danger.
There’s no guarantee!”
Of course Wade knew the seriousness of this matter. After thinking for a long time, he waved his hand to the adjutant and said: "Try to block the news as much as possible. I will use private property to purchase supplies. Let's try to close this loophole first!"
"Yes!" Finally, with hope of solving the problem, the adjutant responded and hurried out to do the work.
"Unlucky!" Waiting for the adjutant to leave, Wade clutched his hair in pain and muttered to himself: "Why are so many supplies missing? My money..."
Of course Wade will not know that this big trouble comes from Roger. And his troubles are far more than that, and more troubles will soon follow.
However, Roger was also in a bad mood now. After arriving at Thorin Post, he discovered that the situation here was worse than imagined.
The entire outpost has been completely razed to the ground, with nothing left except some charred wooden piles. There are no buildings, no weapons, and not even corpses. It is obvious that this place has been swept by a large group of undead creatures.
In fact, there is no trace of the existence of a sentry post here at all. If Roger hadn't determined on the map that the point where the two rivers meet is the location of the sentry post, he would have really thought that he was going the wrong way.
"This... is the outpost where the captain of the garrison asked you to station?" the grumpy Chris said angrily: "This guy is deliberately trying to harm you. Let's go back and settle the score with him!"
"Don't cause trouble for your Majesty!" Phil calmly dissuaded Chris: "Since that captain deliberately framed your Majesty, we can't go back now."
Roger agreed with Phil's point of view. In fact, he had made some preparations for the situation he was about to face before setting off, but he didn't expect it to be so bad. So he quickly calmed down and asked Chris and others to wait at the outpost.
Build a camp on the ruins.
Although Thorin's outpost has been completely destroyed, the terrain here is still pretty good. There are at least two rivers that can block the undead creatures. It is safer than camping on the open plains.
The camp was quickly built. It was just a few simple tents, which did not play any defensive role at all. Knowing that undead creatures might appear at any time, no one felt sleepy. Chris and Phil took a few people to watch nearby.
, Roger stayed in his tent, worrying about how to spend the next few days safely.
"Don't worry too much." The Lord of the Castle noticed Roger's worry and comforted him in his mind: "When the castle reaches level three, you can be summoned to the real world at the cost of consuming the power of your soul. If you are attacked,
If you reach the undead army, you can summon the castle to the world of Toulonzo to resist the attack!"
Roger responded with a frown: "You are right, but it will take several days for the castle to be upgraded. I don't think the undead creatures will wait that long..."
Just as the saying goes, what you are afraid of will come to you. As soon as Roger finished speaking, Chris whispered outside the tent: "Mr. Li, we found a large number of undead creatures not far away, and they are approaching in our direction!"
