Chapter 461 It Must Be Saliva (Please Vote for Me!)

North of Ellington and south of Jinhu Town, the winter snow has just melted and the sun is still slightly cold. In this weather, there is an army advancing southward on the muddy road.

In the cold weather, wearing icy armor, these soldiers did not complain at all, and the atmosphere in the entire team was terrifyingly depressing.

Only one ranger team was slightly more lively.

"Oh damn! Mud got in my boots!"

The ranger of Fort Casparmi and the scout of Lord Lawrence, Rayleigh, a young and lively boy, cursed grumblingly: "This damn weather, why do we have to leave our warm home and run to search for something to escape? farmer?"

"Stop talking nonsense," Rayleigh's comrade-in-arms Aaron, who is also a Black Iron-level ranger, glared at him, then nervously glanced at the silent army next to him, and whispered: "Don't you realize it yet? The real purpose this time?”

"The real purpose? What purpose can it have?"

Riley was very confused: "Didn't you say that we were going to hunt down those farmers who escaped from their territory without permission?"

"When will you be able to use your brain? I really don't understand how you awakened your talent!"

Another comrade next to him sighed, quietly pointed at the dull army next to him, and said, "Didn't you see these soldiers? They are private soldiers led by Lord Lawrence himself. Didn't you notice how elite they are? This kind of damn thing The weather and the roads, they’ve been marching all day in their armor and no one has spoken!”

"That's because they are all wood."

"Even a stupid person would complain unless their mouths were sewn shut!"

Aaron lowered his voice and said: "I accidentally noticed that they were eating raw meat in the tent last night! Bloody monster meat!"

The eyes of several friends next to him suddenly widened, and just as they were about to speak, Aaron hurriedly made a silence gesture, and then lowered his voice: "There is something wrong with Lord Lawrence's warriors and cavalry, but What is certain is that they are definitely not coming out to capture the fleeing farmers. They are more like preparing for a war - haven't you noticed that they have already prepared food and grass for more than a month? And it is said that there are more supplies behind. .”

"Damn, he is preparing for a war? But who is the target? Since these warriors are so powerful, why does he want us to go into battle?"

Aaron said very calmly: "Probably because he needs some more clear-headed scouts. Rangers are the best as scouts. Those soldiers don't seem to respond at all except to obey orders."

Riley took a breath of cold air and couldn't help but fold his arms and said: "Hearing what you said, I suddenly felt a little scared. Could it be that we are siding with a group of monsters?"

Aaron secretly glanced at the commander's carriage in the distance and couldn't help but sigh. If it was a monster, it would be easy to say. I'm afraid it was a group of things scarier than monsters.

This silent force passed through several empty towns along the way, without any intention of dispersing the searchers, and headed south in a straight line.

As far as Aaron knew, before entering the Ladia Forest in the south, there was only Ellington.

The territory ruled by Tang En, who killed the former lord Duvier Kadir.

Thinking of this, Aaron couldn't help but feel nervous. The target seemed obvious. Lord Lawrence might want to attack Ellington just like Duvier.

After all, Ellington is now continuously amassing wealth, and the mayors of several surrounding towns will be jealous, not to mention the lord of Fort Kaspami.

Before Ellington became famous, among the towns in the west near the Ambris Mountains, only Fort Casparmi was ranked high. It made a lot of money from the military by supplying products to the Scar of the Holy Sword. Man, now that Ellington has stolen the limelight, it is normal for Lord Lawrence to be jealous and want to take action.

It happened that the farmers who had fled in the winter gave him an excuse to send troops...

Aaron let out a long sigh. Even though we are all members of the same country, we have to work hard to fight for the interests of these lords. It is really sad to live.

In the carriage, Lawrence looked at the troops in front with great satisfaction.

Elite, this is the real elite!

What kind of soldiers were those soldiers that Douvier left behind? They are just a bunch of worthless trash. Look at these warriors. They march without any complaints. The heavy armor is worn on their bodies as if they were nothing. Their discipline is strict and their fighting power is terrifying. Any warrior can tear apart a second-level monster alive!

And absolute obedience to orders, even if it means ordering them to die - Lawrence really tried this order, and the soldier carried it out without hesitation.

This is called the Iron-blooded Army!

The satisfied Lawrence couldn't help but sigh. He really wanted to ask the patriarch how he trained these powerful warriors, but thinking of what Charles had said in the letter before, he could only give up his curiosity.

The only troublesome thing is that these warriors consume a lot of money, and their food requirements are also very troublesome, requiring fresh blood and flesh.

Fortunately, the temperature is not high yet, so the fresh flesh and blood will not be damaged during transportation, and there is also a magic freezer - thanks to the Datang Chamber of Commerce, their products have been of great use at this time.

Above the hills in the distance, several figures fleetingly disappeared.

"Are these people? They are obviously here for Ellington. Are you talking about hunting down refugees and lying?"

Danny glared at the man angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, our mission is to investigate the situation and report back."

"Okay, okay, you are the boss and you are powerful. How many enemy troops are there?"

Danny activated his gifted Eagle Vision and took a general glance at Lawrence's troops: "Not sure, about a thousand? A thousand and five? I can see shield warriors, berserkers, light cavalry, heavy cavalry, archers... Oh , wait, the other party also has a ranger!"

The difference between apocalyptic rangers and soldier archers is still very obvious. Due to awakening talents and cultivating strength, rangers rarely wear useless defensive equipment and mostly rely on their own agility, wind spells, and various unique assists. Archers cannot use skills to avoid damage. Their fragile bodies can easily die when struck, so they need to prepare some defensive equipment.

Danny said with a weird look on his face: "The other troops are quite normal and very courageous, but why doesn't that ranger team feel like a regular army? Is it mercenaries?"

Because the other phalanxes were very disciplined, just a little bit of laxity in the Ranger team was magnified countless times, making it very eye-catching.

"No matter how many there are, how many people are there?"

"I'm not sure. I estimate it's close to 2,000 people, maybe more."

"Only more than two thousand people?"

The guy taking notes next to him curled his lips: "It's probably not even enough."

"You talk a lot...wait a minute! The other party's rangers have begun to take action. Clean up the traces immediately and we will retreat."

When Danny noticed that the other party's rangers began to accelerate, he immediately issued an order. The team immediately cleared the traces and evacuated the scene. With the gain of wind spells, they were as fast as the wind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ellington.

"Look, I keep my word, right?"

Tang En stood in the cold storage, pointed at a house made entirely of various candies, and said to Nora: "The candy house I promised you will be life-size. I will keep my promise!"

Nora had no time to answer his question. The moment she saw the candy house, she couldn't control her impulse. She rushed forward with a scream, and then slapped the door with a "snap".

"Hey, hey hey hey hey..."

After being taken off by Tang En, Nora didn't look embarrassed at all. She just lay on Tang En's hand and stared at the candy house with a silly smile, her face flushed with happiness.

After a while, she flew up again, pushed open the door and got into the candy house.

Tang En glanced at the palm of his right hand and saw a small puddle of wet water.

"Really, I'm actually drooling... It must be drool..."

Tang En sniffed it and found that there was no strange smell. After casually wiping it on his body, he turned around and went out.

As soon as Tang En left the warehouse, a bright green light came out of the candy house, and then a delicate and cute little green-haired girl appeared in the room, lying on the soft cake bed, looking at the waffle ceiling dotted with fruit candies. , smelling the sweet smell that filled the surroundings, the little green-haired girl almost fainted from the sudden gift package.

"Ah... As expected, this is the happiest thing... But the mini form can last longer! If I had known earlier, I would have turned into this normal form and asked for a bigger candy house!"

That's right, this little green-haired girl about 1.6 meters tall is Nora who has been crawling around Tang En's head and pockets.

Tang En, who had already left, obviously couldn't see this astonishing scene, because he had now received the intelligence sent back by Danny and the others.

Tang En glanced at the record: "It is estimated to be more than two thousand people? Will it be more than three thousand people?"

Danny said very honestly, "It's difficult to see clearly because the terrain is blocking it."

Just as Fiona was about to speak, Alleria frowned and said, "According to the size of the territory and the standards of imperial law, Fort Casparmi should not be able to have more than 500 private soldiers and 1,000 regular soldiers." Soldiers, even if all security patrols are abandoned and all these people are mobilized, there should be no more than 2,000 people."

"But the fact now is that there are at least two thousand people on the other side," Fiona frowned, "Where did these extra people come from?"

"Hey, hey, hey, the other side is ready to attack us. Do you still care about these things?"

Tang En didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No matter how many people they come, just beat them if they don't agree, and kill them if they don't agree. It's that simple."

Fiona thought the same thing: "How many of us are there?"

"If all the current guard members are added together, there are only 4,000 fewer people."

Alleria was stunned: "Why are there so few?"

According to imperial law, Tang En, as an earl, could have one thousand private soldiers and five thousand regular troops. She did not expect that Tang En only had four thousand soldiers.

Tang En smiled slightly and said calmly: "Soldiers are not many but fine, generals are not brave but strategic."
