Occasionally, this team will encounter unsighted beings who are robberies. Among them are defeated kingdom soldiers, soldiers of the Northern Italian coalition who secretly escaped from the team, and even temporarily transferred gangsters and idle men.
Or there may be thieves traveling across the border, sometimes several times a day.
Then this obstacle on the road became the best object for the people in the team to relieve their stress and vent after being stimulated by the tragic events along the way. As they swarmed forward full of anger, these bandits who were blocking the way and causing trouble, even if they were not caught on the spot,
If you kill someone, you will be hanged from a tree.
So, after several attempts, a group of followers appeared behind Jiang Tian's team. They were all survivors who were lucky enough to be rescued, and with the intention of continuing to seek asylum, they offered their only belongings, and even
A young or young female member of the family.
Although Jiang Tian did not accept their respect and requests, he did not expel them or refuse to follow them; as long as he kept a certain distance, he did not bother to pay attention to them. Despite this, after walking along the way, his originally depressed and sluggish morale actually turned out to be...
Inexplicably, he cheered up again.
With the sporadic encounters with escapees along the way, as well as various people from other places, this small force also obtained more true and false news and rumors. For example, as the capital of Delong Province where Jiang Fang is now located,
, the city of Montereyville has surrendered to foreign troops.
For another example, due to the order of entering the city to surrender, the Lombards and Veronas, who had always had grievances among the more than a dozen Northern Italian/Ciro vassal coalition forces, had fierce conflicts outside the city;
The armies of the princes were involved and turned into a massive looting of the provincial capital.
For another example, the Count of Grenoble, the largest aristocratic lord in the province, has abandoned his territory and fled. Therefore, most of the invading troops have now crossed the abandoned kingdom fortress - Fort Rhone; towards the Lower Alps in the north and Yin in the west.
The provinces of Zell and Ardès were advanced.
In addition, there is another powerful lord of the province, Viscount Valray, who established the Delon Provincial Autonomous Association in Corian County and declared his territory to be a free military passage area... As the saying goes, in the Kingdom's military
In defeat, all kinds of monsters and monsters appeared one after another.
However, fortunately, if these news are true, then there seem to be few enemies and threats on the way of the team heading south. Maybe there are only some mercenary groups left with permission to move freely (robbery); or others
Motley armed groups…
Therefore, while walking on the road, Jiang Tian couldn't help but reflect on where he would go in this world. In other words, how to collect more free energy; while activating his half-hearted auxiliary system, he would find an opportunity to return to the big world where his original mission was unfinished.
Go into Tang time and space.
In fact, after the short battle in João Town Hall, the little energy reserve Jiang Tian had accumulated with great difficulty had been squandered. But after personally killing the fat pig baron/co-captain and a dozen officers from the Principality of Milan
, after becoming a non-commissioned officer, he doubled his investment (0211).
However, when he tried to activate the "endurance" module, a memory of the original time and space was restored in his mind. However, Jiang Tian quietly turned around and left after filling up the tunnel; but he was chased from the opposite direction, and he was originally left behind.
After the break, the groups of followers he abandoned.
Although these belated retinues could only continue to chase the horses in an incompetent and furious manner; they fired smoke arrows and fireworks one after another to ask for help, directly marking the direction where Jiang Tian had left. Therefore, Jiang Tian, who did not want to cause trouble, could only
Can suddenly turn around and kill a few leaders.
But as soon as they were delayed by these reckless guys, the team from Dongduli Courtyard also chased them nearby like chickens. Under this situation, Jiang Tian didn't want to tangle with them too much in the wilderness, so he just went all the way.
Return to the old tiger enclosure site that was the scene of the ambush.
I just wanted to take advantage of the complex environment full of ruins, delay and block it for a while, and then quietly jump to another time and space to escape. But I didn't expect that there were several fish that slipped through the net hidden inside; it also gave Jiang Tian a chance.
However, he had to spend more effort to silence him.
What was even more surprising was that after seeing the tragic scene of the corpses of strange beasts all over the ground, those who were pursuing them did not hesitate to use the foreign objects they carried; but the strange thing Jiang Tian had just seized, which looked like jewelry,
The fire-colored gemstone that can excite scorching light resonates.
So, among a series of "huge energy reaction" warnings that suddenly popped up in the field of view interface; Jiang Tian did not hesitate to choose to activate the transition module. Then, a bright red light filled the field of vision, and a large piece of silent and tragic
While shouting, he suddenly lost consciousness.
After the transition failed and he was forced to drift into this time and space, it also gave Jiang Tian a serious warning and introspection. As more and more strange objects were born in the Tang Dynasty time and space in that alien plane, he relied on it to move forward and retreat freely.
The ability is no longer always able to dominate one.
Therefore, he still needs to find more opportunities to complete the task and continuously strengthen his trump card and credentials. Therefore, rather than fighting alone, it is also good to be able to deceive/rely on some external forces.
Then, he saw those soldiers wearing chain shirts and half-armor, holding saw blade guns or spears; or crossbowmen wearing thick cloth armor and cloaks. Obviously they were his own in this world.
Weapons and shields, barriers against danger and extending power.
Otherwise, how long will you have to try your luck just by working hard on your own? Perhaps only after you have established a strong enough force, you can use collective efforts to find and harvest some existences with space-time influence, which will be more efficient.
It is also more convenient...
Therefore, Jiang Tian was determined to take them out of danger first and find a suitable place to establish themselves; then he slowly selected the relatively reliable and capable subordinates among them. And what he could give them back was probably a sense of security and safety in the turmoil.
The ability to protect ourselves and a better future, right?
But the most important thing at the moment is to improve their organization; yes, it is the organization that includes discipline, order and obedience. Compared with logistics, equipment and training, organization is the history of warfare throughout the ages, with the weak defeating the strong.
, the greatest basis for a desperate counterattack against an outnumbered enemy.
The best example is the few defeats of the British bastards in modern times; for example, the three disastrous defeats in the invasion of Afghanistan. In the Insandlwana battle, the modern firearms army lost its organization and was directly defeated.
Uncle Zulu Black, who was accustomed to using a spear and leather shield, was defeated.
Jiang Tian was slowly thinking when he suddenly saw several soldiers who were taking turns serving as scouts, wearing pot-shaped helmets and bubble-studded cloth armor, emerging from the woods on the roadside, and at the same time they were saying hello.
What? It wasn't until Jiang Tian rode his horse in that he realized they were carrying a person.
This man was dressed in typical pilgrim/cloak robes and a straw rope girdle, but his head and face were covered with many exposed wounds of flesh and blood. Although he was almost unconscious, he was still muttering to himself: "Dark Night"
The monsters in...the hell...escaped..."
"What's going on?" Jiang Tian couldn't help but ask, "Did he be attacked by a wild beast?"
"It's not a beast, it's something else." Then, Jiang Tian saw the old hunter Ajax, who was traveling with the team, but had been silent and seemed not very gregarious, suddenly emerged from the thick thorn bushes on the roadside.
He came out and took the initiative to speak:
"What is that thing?" Jiang Tian looked at the half-body body of the old hunter Ajax, which had a lot of stains on it and was dragged out of the forest. He couldn't help being slightly shocked; because this thing had canine teeth and dirty hair.
Unbearable, there are actually some ghosts similar to those from the Tang Dynasty.
"This... seems to be a newly transformed corpse." The old hunter Ajax picked up a carrot that was fed to the horse and chewed it: "It is a strange creature born from eating too many old corpse remains.
.Even those vultures and wild dogs don’t pay attention to the remains in the tomb.”
"Ghoul, what is this?" Jiang Tian noticed the key point. "Listening to what you said, it seems that it has other similar species, or its source?"
"Ghoul? Is it the monster that was born in the tombs of a large number of martyrs in "Hessian Chronicles"?" However, the recorder Andrew beside him couldn't help but said: "It's not the legendary monster hiding in the tomb that specializes in attacking robbers.
Well, how come it appears in this wild place?"
"The records in the church are actually versions that have been seriously tampered with and revised many times. They are not accurate." The old hunter Ajax hesitated for a moment, but then said: "In fact, in death zones where plague and famine are serious, there is also a probability that
What was born is also one of our previous jobs.”
Hearing this name, another memory came to Jiang Tian's mind. The so-called "Hesse Chronicles" is a compilation of popular black stories among the people, which is similar to "Lorraine Nursery Rhymes", "Arabian Nights", and "Collection of Ancient Gaul Stories".
"Generally, it is full of scary and weird folk readings.
The name Hesse comes from the central part of the Western Continent and is the general name for the large black forest that stretches across many countries; and in the Roman Empire, many specialized pioneering territories were established; and now there is only one Great Earl of Hesse left.
The fief is also one of the sources of the story.
Of course, today's Hessian Territory is, in a sense, one of the few lawless places on the continent, a place of abnormal prosperity where various criminals, refugees and heretical groups gather. It is said that one can
Find all heretical organizations that have been jointly banned by major churches.
The first sentence at the beginning of this storybook is, "No one can become the master of the Black Forest. The Black Forest is alive, and all those who covet it can only become its servants, slaves, and nourishment."
This is the man who chased the remnants of the Franks deep into the Black Forest; then only a small number of them escaped; and lost some of their limbs and became crazy. Siti, the commander of the great army in the Roman era.
Ding, his last words before his death:
And it is said that some of the older versions, which have not been much deleted, are even filled with all kinds of weird and inexplicable things that go beyond cruelty, blood, and chaos; so much so that for a long time, they have become popular among churches everywhere.
Ordered the destruction of banned underground publications.
Until a certain king from the East expressed his opinion: "Is there any more brutal, bloody, and chaotic story books in this world than the various versions of the Old and New Testaments and Gospels? Is it possible that what the church does is what the general public does?
Don’t you appreciate it so much?”
Then, an underground printed book called "The Decameron" suddenly began to appear frequently in various parts of the Western Continent through some unexplained channels. Because it described many popular pornographic stories about the church, it also directly broke through the church's rules.
painstakingly constructed moral barriers;
It even led to generations of mutual accusations and blame-shifting debates between the mainstream Northern Holy See, the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Constantinian Order in the Western Continent. Then, Armenian elders from other continents were
The Church, the Coptic Church, and the Pauline Church were involved.
Therefore, as the saying goes, the more banned this thing is, the more widely it is spread, and the more banned it is, the more influential it is. However, the royal families in various places have an ambiguous attitude towards this. It also forced the church, which had no time to take care of other things, to relax in disguise, and censorship and control of private publishing.
The intensity of restrictions; historically known as the "collapse of religious bans" event.
Therefore, the so-called clean versions of the church that are popular in the market today as bedside stories and tavern singing actually still have some dark and residual traces of the past. For example, King Arthur vs. the Blood Witch Megan, and the Great Sage Merlin.
Transform into the witch Merulu and so on...
But I didn't expect that I could actually encounter aliens among them in reality; and according to Ajax, there are actually hunters who have inherited this profession from generation to generation. Could it be that the other side of this medieval era also hides something?
