"Yi? This is a holy knight badge from the temple. How can you have such a thing?" Qiao Qiao looked at what Du Wei was holding in his hand and saw the nervous look on Du Wei's face. He couldn't help but ask: "
It is absolutely impossible for an outsider to get the Holy Knight Badge! You... this thing of yours is probably a forgery! You forged the Holy Knight Badge, do you want to deal with the temple... Ah, maybe you stole it!
"
Du Wei smiled bitterly: "This thing...hehe, it really does belong to me!"
Qiaoqiao didn't believe it, she shook her head and said: "You can't fool me about this. These Holy Knight badges are all stamped with holy power, and on the back of each badge, there is the name of the owner engraved on it, which is printed with the Holy Power.
Even a magician cannot forge it if it has been blessed with power. If you say this badge is yours, just turn it over and show it to me."
Du Wei was stunned for a moment. On the back... the name of Aragorn was engraved on the back. If this woman really wanted to see it, she wouldn't have to pop her eyes out?
Du Wei was in trouble, but Qiao Qiao sneered and suddenly snatched her away. After all, Qiao Qiao was also a high-level warrior, skilled in both magic and martial arts. How could Du Wei, an ordinary mage, be able to snatch her away?
Qiao Qiao grabbed the badge and turned it over. When he saw the back, he suddenly covered his mouth and said "Ah". When he looked at Du Wei, his eyes were indescribably weird.
Du Wei sighed and didn't know how to explain it, but Qiaoqiao looked strange: "This, this thing is really yours? I can see that this badge does not look like a forgery... But, how could the temple issue you this?"
Plant a badge? Have you already taken refuge in the temple?"
Du Wei was also startled. He took the badge from Qiao Qiao and glanced at the back. His expression couldn't help but become strange.
The pattern on the back is no longer "Aragon-Roland"! A few simple patterns finally formed a brand new name!
"Duwe-Rudolf-Rollin"
Du Wei himself opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and then forced a smile: "Look, I told you this is my thing, but you didn't believe it."
He quickly put the badge into his arms.
Qiao Qiao narrowed her eyes: "I don't doubt that you really seek refuge in the temple. You really don't have much respect for the goddess. Even if everyone in the world believes in gods, you are not new. In this regard, I
I still know you very well."
After saying this, Qiao Qiao suddenly showed a rare gentle smile on her face, especially the last sentence "getting to know you". When she said it, she felt as uneasy as a deer in her heart, but she still had that feeling.
A hint of sweetness.
She immediately noticed something was wrong with her demeanor. She coughed quickly and then said in a deep voice: "It's just that you got this temple badge. Do you want to plan for the temple in the future? I just want to remind you, then
Helpers are not easy to mess with."
Du Weigan laughed twice... This is hard to explain, and it would be a long story.
Huh, it’s Aragon. It’s Duwei 1234... It’s complicated to say, but if you really want to explain it, it’s simple.
It's like a guy playing an online game. He first registered an "Aragorn" account. After reaching level 100, he failed against a super ultimate boss, the Goddess of Light. Then he discovered that he was leveling in the wrong direction.
, I could only re-register a "Duwei 1" trumpet, and then transfer all the equipment, game currency, experience points, etc. to this trumpet. I practiced again to level 100 to challenge the boss, but unfortunately failed again.
In the end, he had to create a new account "Duwei 2", transfer all the equipment, experience points and other things again, and start a new journey of fighting bosses...
It's actually that fucking simple!
Just these... Who can Du Wei say?
To whom can Du Wei confide these worries and burdens? Who can understand his words?
Du Wei and his convoy headed towards the imperial capital. In the evening, they arrived at a small town. According to Du Wei's instructions, the convoy rested here for the 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.
He had seen the elite Northwest Army under Lu Gao in the northwest. They were well-organized, well-trained, and well-established in their advance and retreat. They were truly top-notch elite soldiers!
Not to mention the cavalry of the prairie, their combat effectiveness is astonishing, coupled with their excellent equestrian skills and the savage and fierce temperament of the prairie people, they are the strongest cavalry in the world!
But the quality of the garrison in these parts of the empire...
They just followed Duwei's carriage for two days, and because Rodriguez and Qiaoqiao deliberately slowed down their progress in order to take care of Duwei's recovery from injury. But these old soldiers...
Seeing that they had only been riding for a short time on the horse, each of them looked exhausted, with sore backs and legs, yawning and moaning. If it were not for the military order and the respect for a big man like Du Wei, I would have been unable to support him.
Lived.
This kind of trash-like soldier would have been kicked out of the barracks long ago if he had been under the command of General Longbottom.
Although the army of the empire has spring drills every year, this is a good tradition that has been maintained for thousands of years. Although a lot of military expenditures are wasted, it is aimed at keeping the army with sufficient combat effectiveness. But after all, the system is dead, and people are alive. In some places
, it is not that Du Wei does not understand the perfunctory and half-hearted reporting of the annual spring drills.
Moreover, in the final analysis, even spring drills can be strictly implemented, but after all, they only happen once a year. The military's combat effectiveness cannot be solved by just spring drills once a year.
The largest hotel in this small town was naturally booked by Du Wei and his party. Without waiting for Du Wei's instructions, some of the hundreds of cavalrymen entered the hotel first, shouting and horrifying, looking like a gentleman, and took over the hotel.
The boss and the waiters inside were so frightened that they quickly brought tea and water.
Some cavalry even took off their armor on their own... Even Rodriguez shook his head when he saw it.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly at Du Wei and said: "These guard cavalry are really useless. Although this trip is just to escort you and is not a formal military operation, after all, during the march, they dare to take off their armor without orders. This
This is already a violation of military regulations."
Du Wei shook his head: "The empire has been established for thousands of years, and the continent has been unified. Looking at it, there are no big opponents in the world, and there have never been any large-scale wars. Now... In addition to the Northwest Legion and the Northern Storm Legion, there are also
There are the royal guards of the royal city, and the legions of the southern swamps. Apart from these main battle legions, the other local garrison armies have long been depleted, and some are even worse than the private armies raised by some noble families. In fact, this is not the case.
Weird...it's been too long without fighting. It's a damn thing that the army has combat effectiveness! A truly strong army is not produced by training, but by fighting...Sigh. Look at the quality of the Northwest Army, and then look at the withdrawal from the grassland.
The 20,000 cavalrymen who came here, although there are only 20,000, are all so heroic!"
Having said this, Du Wei shook his head repeatedly.
He didn't bother to care about these garrison cavalry, but the officers of these cavalry came to flatter him, prepared a superior room, and ordered the boss to send food and wine. If Du Wei hadn't been afraid of trouble, he might even have asked the garrison commander of this small town.
I was called to see him.
Du Wei was not in the mood for any fine wine or food, so he ate something casually and excused himself to rest because he was tired. As soon as he left, the cavalry below immediately became happy and drank three or four large bowls of fine wine.
Eat big chunks of meat.
Rodriguez looked at him and sneered... During the march, these cavalrymen drank freely. They were very drunk! If the army was under the command of Duke Tulip, they would have been dragged out and chopped! But these guys seemed to be used to it, even leading the team
The officer was also drunk, his eyes were red and looking at this group of people, he probably wished he could find a few more geishas to accompany him, so that he would be more satisfied.
Rodriguez was a standard knight and couldn't bear to see this kind of scene, so he simply followed Duwei after a while.
In the evening, Du Wei was in his room, holding the badge and thinking deeply in his heart, when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside the hotel downstairs!
The sound of the horses' hooves came closer and closer, but it sounded as if it was extremely neat. Even though they were galloping, the queue was not chaotic! And when they arrived at the door, the sound of the horses' hooves stopped neatly, but there was no neigh! Obviously these people's
His riding skills are extremely good and he has great control over the horses!
"Is there an army of this quality within the empire?" Du Wei was curious and couldn't help but push the door open and walk out.
In the lobby of the hotel, I saw more than 20 cavalry parked outside the door. All of these were wearing bright fine armor, lined with leather robes, and on their horses were short crossbows only equipped by the main battle legion. Peeping above them.
, with a long snow-white feather, and behind each cavalry, a gray cloak was draped.
Then I heard a deep and majestic voice shouting: "Everyone dismounts, packs equipment, we are eating here! No one can leave their swords and bows! In addition... there are three people left to take care of the horses, and they are not allowed to take half a step away from the horses!"
After saying that, the man jumped off his horse. Only the twenty cavalrymen behind him dared to dismount. These people's movements were neat and vigorous. Even when they walked into the lobby, the sound of the owl's leather boots sounded so energetic!
The cavalrymen at the back coldly refused the hotel waiter's move to lead the horse. Instead, they automatically separated three people, led the horse, and let the waiter lead the way to the stable at the back.
"During the march, military horses must not be left to the care of idle people! This is a military regulation! What fodder the horses eat and what water they drink must be in our hands!!"
After the leader walked into the lobby, he was dressed in silver armor, which made his already extremely tall and majestic body even more upright. Unlike the subordinates behind him, the cloak on his body was bright red, but
The journey was dusty and stained with a lot of dust, but even so, it looked more defensible than the garrison troops in the lobby!
This man strode in and saw such a drunken crowd inside. His eyes couldn't help but reveal a deep contempt, and even a hint of anger, as if he was about to say something, but he gritted his teeth and sneered.
, ignoring the group of drunken guys inside, went directly to the corner and sat down. The dozen or so cavalry behind him even walked with full vigilance. When they came to the leader,
Around him, a defensive formation was faintly formed.
The drunken garrison troops nearby immediately became quiet when they saw these dozen people coming in. Although they had drunk a lot of wine, they could still tell that they were wearing imperial military uniforms after all!
I saw the leader in a red cloak among the dozens of riders who came in. He looked about thirty or forty years old. His face was resolute. Even though he looked a little tired at the moment, he was not less powerful. And
...The badge on the chest of his armor clearly shows his identity as a genuine general!!
Moreover, the cavalry behind him had gray cloaks, silver armor, and white feathers on their helmets... These characteristics immediately made people recognize that these people were one of the main battle legions of the empire, stationed in the storm at the southern end of the frozen forest in the north.
Legion!
The owner of the hotel, who was also a smart man who brought people from south to north, ran up quickly. However, he was stopped by two Storm Legion cavalry from a distance. He did not dare to get close, so he could only ask respectfully: "
Dear guests, what do you need?"
"Food. It has to be clean and fast. And water! Then give it to my people. Everyone's skins are filled with water. Everything has to be fast. We still have to hurry."
The boss smiled again and said: "Sir, we have famous local wines here. Do you want to..."
The general's eyes suddenly widened and he snorted heavily. Such a snort seemed to carry a deep power. The boss couldn't help but feel weak in his legs and almost sat down. He heard the general sneer and said: "Drinking during the march."
, is a serious crime of beheading!”
He said this very loudly. After hearing this, many of the garrison troops next to him showed disapproval expressions. But seeing that the other party was a general, no one dared to speak. For a moment, the lobby
It became quiet inside.
After a while, the leading officer of the garrison managed to tidy up his appearance. He coughed twice and came over to salute obediently. The general glanced at him and saw that the officer's face was red from drinking, and his eyes were even brighter.
Leng Ling just responded with a faint greeting and ignored him.
"General, we are from the garrison camp of xx city xx, and I am the second-level cavalry commander leading the team. It is really our honor to meet a general of the empire here!"
The general then sneered: "Are you considered soldiers? If they were under my command, they would have all been beheaded! Quickly disappear from my eyes. I have important things to do and I don't bother to argue with you. Otherwise... hum.
snort."
The officer trembled and quickly apologized and retreated. However, everyone in the group of guarding cavalry looked unhappy. Of course, they couldn't drink the wine. Half of them ran out of the hall in despair, and some were unwilling to do so.
, then he picked up the wine bottle and left, apparently going back to the room to continue drinking.
After the lobby became quiet, the general suddenly sighed softly: "With such a military quality... Oh, how can we fight when we are in danger?"
A cavalryman next to him seemed to be his confidant, but he comforted in a low voice: "General, the empire has a strong army. The Royal Guards of the Royal City are very good, and there is also the empire's navy..."
"Navy!" When the general heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "No matter how powerful the warship is, can it be sailed to land! This time... Oh, let's not talk about it. Everyone sat down to eat. After we finished eating and drinking, we quickly got on the road!
"
After he gave the order, the cavalry standing around dared to sit down one after another, and everyone sat quietly. After the food was delivered, some people checked it, and then they all devoured it, but no one said a word.
In a moment, after eating and drinking, the general stood up and was about to give orders to leave when he suddenly heard laughter coming from above.
"Ah...if I remember correctly, this is General Andre of the Storm Legion!"
Then, he saw a young man in rich clothes walking down the stairs. When General Andre heard this, he immediately turned around and looked at him deeply.
This young man is naturally Du Wei. Du Wei smiled and said: "General Andre, have you forgotten? I am Du Wei, the original Du Wei Rollin, now Du Wei Rudolf. When I left the ice
When the forest was sealed, you and Master Clark brought people to find me. We walked together for a few days."
General Andre thought for a moment and immediately remembered it, but he quickly took two steps forward, bowed slightly, and gave a military salute: "It's His Excellency Duke Tulip! Andre of the Storm Legion has met Duke Tulip!"
Du Wei walked down, came to Andre's table, and pulled him to sit down. Andre hesitated for a moment and had to sit down patiently.
"General Andre, you are not in the north, why are you here? I remember the imperial military law. Soldiers are not allowed to leave their garrison area without permission. Is there any urgent matter when you go south this time?"
When Du Wei asked, General Andre's face became solemn, he hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, to be honest with you...there is indeed trouble in the north. This time, under the command of General Rostock, the commander of our army, I
Order, return to the imperial capital and report the situation to the military headquarters, and at the same time..."
He smiled bitterly: "At the same time, I am also meeting with His Highness the Regent to request... reinforcements!"
