North of Ellington, south of the town of Goldlake, the snow was beginning to melt and the sun was still slightly cold, but in this weather, there was a force advancing south on the muddy road.

In the cold weather, wearing cold armor, but these soldiers did not complain, and the atmosphere in the whole team was oppressive and terrifying.

Only one team of rangers was a little more lively.

"Oh shit! The mud got into my boots! ”

The Ranger of Casparmyburg, the Scout of Lord Lawrence, Rayleigh, a young and lively lad, cursed with a grumbling belly, "What the damn weather, why are we leaving the warmth of our home and running in search of some runaway farmer?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense," Rayleigh's comrade-in-arms, Aaron, who was also a Black Iron Ranger, glared at him, then nervously glanced at the silent army next to him, and whispered, "Haven't you realized the true purpose of this time?" ”

"The real purpose? What purpose can it be? ”

Rayleigh was puzzled: "Didn't you say that you want to hunt down the farmers who fled the territory without permission?" ”

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

Another comrade-in-arms next to him sighed, quietly pointed to the dull large army next to him, and said, "Don't you see these soldiers?" They're the private soldiers of Lord Lawrence himself, don't you notice how elite they are? Such damn weather and roads, they have been marching in armor for a day, and no one has spoken! ”

"That's because they're all wood."

"Even the wooden people will complain unless their mouths are sewn shut!"

Aaron lowered his voice and said, "I accidentally noticed them eating raw meat in the tent last night!" Bloody Warcraft meat! ”

The eyes of a few friends next to him suddenly widened, and just as they were about to speak, Aaron hurriedly made a silent gesture, and then lowered his voice: "These warriors and cavalry of Lord Lawrence are a little wrong, but it is certain that they definitely did not come out to capture the escaped farmers, they were more like preparing for a war - didn't you see that they had prepared more than a month of food and grass?" And it is said that there are more supplies behind. ”

"Damn, he's preparing for a war? But who is the target? If these warriors are so powerful, why would he want us to go into battle? ”

Aaron said very calmly: "Probably because he needs some scouts with clear minds, the ranger is the best as a scout, and those fighters don't seem to have any response at all except to obey orders." ”

Rayleigh took a breath of cold air, couldn't help but fold his arms and said, "Hearing you say that, I suddenly feel a little scared, could it be that we are on the side with a group of monsters?" ”

Aaron secretly glanced at the carriage in which the commander was riding in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh, if it was a monster, it would be easy to say, I am afraid that it is a group of things that are more terrible than monsters.

The silent force cut straight through several empty towns along the way, and without any intention of dispersing the searchers, it headed straight south.

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

The realm ruled by Donn, who had killed the former lord Duvière Kadir.

Thinking of this, Aaron's heart couldn't help but tighten, the goal seemed obvious, this Lawrence Lord was probably the same as Duvier, he wanted to attack Ellington.

After all, Ellington is now amassing a steady stream of wealth, and the mayors of several surrounding towns will be jealous, not to mention the lords of Casparmyburg.

Before Ellington became famous, among these towns near the Ambries Mountains to the west, only Casparmi Fort was still the number one in the row, and it made a lot of money from the military by supplying products to the Marks of the Holy Sword, and now that Ellington was stealing the limelight, it was normal for Lord Lawrence to blush and want to start.

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

Aaron let out a long sigh, obviously they are all from the same country, but they have to fight for their lives and die for the conflict of interests between these lords, and it is really sad for people to live.

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

Elite, this is the real elite!

What kind of soldiers were those soldiers left behind by Duvey? A group of worthless waste, look at these warriors, marching without complaints, heavy armor is worn on the body as if there is nothing, disciplined, powerful and terrifying, any warrior can tear the second-order demonic beast alive!

And absolute obedience to orders, even if it was an order to kill them - Lawrence really tried this order, and the warrior did not hesitate to carry it out.

This is called the Iron Army!

The satisfied Lawrence couldn't help but sigh, he really wanted to ask the patriarch how he trained these powerful dead soldiers, but thinking of Charles's previous explanation in the letter, he could only dispel his curiosity.

The only trouble is that the consumption of these warriors is very huge, and the requirements for food are also cumbersome, requiring fresh flesh and blood.

Fortunately, the temperature is not high yet, the fresh flesh and blood will not be damaged in transit, and there is also a magic energy freezer - thank you to the Datang Chamber of Commerce, their products come in handy at this time.

Above the hills in the distance, several figures flickered away.

"Are these people? Obviously coming for Ellington, what else are you talking about searching for refugees and deceiving ghosts? ”

Danny glared at the man angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, our task is to scout the situation and give feedback." ”

"Okay, okay, you're the boss, you're powerful, what is the approximate number of enemy troops?"

Danny activated the talent Eagle Eye and roughly swept Lawrence's troops: "Not sure, about a thousand?" One thousand five? Shield warriors, berserkers, light cavalry, heavy cavalry, archers, and ...... Oh wait, there's a ranger on the other side! ”

The difference between the Apocalypse Ranger and the Soldier Archer is still obvious, due to the awakening of talent and the cultivation of strength, the Ranger rarely wears those useless defensive equipment, and mostly relies on its own flexibility, wind spells, and various unique auxiliary skills to avoid damage, while archers cannot, their fragile bodies are easy to die when they encounter blows, so they need to prepare some defensive equipment.

Danny said with a strange expression, "The other troops are quite normal and very courageous, but how does that Ranger team not feel like a regular army?" Could it be a mercenary? ”

Because the other phalanxes were highly disciplined, the ranger team was magnified countless times just a little bit of casualness, which was very eye-catching.

"How many people are there?"

"I'm not sure, it's closer to two thousand people, maybe more."

"It's only more than 2,000 people?"

A guy who recorded next to him pouted: "I guess it's not enough to fight." ”

"Just talk a lot...... Wait a minute! The opposing rangers began to move, immediately cleaned up the traces, and we retreated. ”

When Danny noticed that the opposing rangers began to speed up, he immediately gave the order, and the team immediately cleaned up the traces and evacuated the scene, and with the buff of the wind spell, they were as fast as the wind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ellington.

"Look, I'm talking, right?"

Standing in the cold storage, Donn pointed to a house made entirely of all kinds of candy and said to Nora, "The candy house promised to you, life-size proportions, does what it says!" ”

Nora didn't have time to answer his question, and the moment she saw the candy house, she couldn't control her impulse, rushed up with a scream, and then slammed it on the door.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

After being removed by Donne, Nora didn't look embarrassed at all, just lying on Donn's hand and staring at the candy house with a stupid smile, her face flushed with happiness.

It was a long time before she flew again, pushed open the door and got into the candy house.

Tang En glanced at the palm of his right hand, a small pool of wet water.

"Really, I'm still drooling...... I guess it's saliva......"

Don sniffed, there was nothing strange, and after wiping it casually on his body, he turned around and went out.

As soon as Don En left the warehouse, a bright green light came out of the candy house, and then a delicate and lovely green-haired girl appeared in the room, lying on the soft cake bed, looking at the muffin ceiling dotted with fruit candy, smelling the sweet smell that filled the surroundings, the green-haired girl was almost stunned by this sudden gift bag.

"Ah...... Sure enough, this is the happiest...... However, if you are in mini form, you can eat it for a longer time! If I had known about it, I would have changed to this normal form, and then I would have asked for a bigger candy house! ”

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

Don, who had already left, obviously couldn't see this amazing scene, because he had now received the information that Danny had sent back.

Tang En glanced at the record: "Estimated more than two thousand?" Will it be more than three thousand? ”

Danny said very honestly, "I can't see clearly because of the terrain. ”

As soon as Fiona was about to speak, Aurelia frowned and said: "According to the size of the territory, as well as the standards of imperial law, Casparmey Fort should not have more than five hundred private soldiers and a thousand regular soldiers, even if you give up all security patrols and mobilize all these people, it should not exceed two thousand." ”

"But the fact now is that there are at least two thousand people on the other side," Fiona's eyebrows were twisted, "where did the extra people come from?" ”

"Hey, hey, they're ready to attack us, and you still care about these things?"

Tang En couldn't cry or laugh: "No matter how many people they come, if they don't accept it, they will be convinced, and if they are not convinced, they will be killed, it's as simple as that." ”

Fiona thought for a moment: "How many of us are there?" ”

"At present, all the members of the guard are combined, and there are 4,000 people smaller."

Aurelia was dumbfounded: "Why so little?" ”

According to the laws of the empire, Tang En, as an earl, could have a thousand private soldiers and five thousand regular troops, but she didn't expect Tang En to have only four thousand soldiers.

Tang En smiled slightly, and said lightly: "The soldiers are not many but fine, and the generals are not brave but strategic." (To be continued.) )
