Chapter 253: A New Military Salute
After receiving the thank you gifts from Seth and Buck, Jia Zhengjin immediately left the village.
The team set off again, and after a three-day flight, they finally reached the outskirts of the Warcraft Forest.
"Alright!" Connie turned around in the air with Liz in her arms, looked at Jia Zhengjin and said, "I'm going to take Liz out on a long trip, and I'll send you here!"
"Are you really leaving?" Jia Zhengjin said depressedly, "After giving me such a declaration, you don't care about anything?"
"This is your punishment!" Connie laughed, "so next time remember not to use my name without my consent!"
"I've made all my mistakes, okay? What should I do if you leave here and all the forces that want to make your wish come true?" asked Jia Zhengjin.
"That's your business, at least until I return, I hope you'll hold on!"
"It's so easy!" Jia Zhengjin was so depressed that he couldn't do it, "Then when will you come back?"
"When it's time to come back, I'll be back!" Connie chuckled, "Let's go!"
"Hey!" Jia Zhengjin wanted to hold back, but found that Connie had already taken Liz and flew away in an instant.
Seeing the red dragon mother and daughter flying away, the elf princess Xian Jill leaned over with some worry and asked, "Lord Keen, are they okay when they leave......?"
"You don't have to worry about this!" Although Jia Zhengjin was depressed, he still said to her, "Go to the city to rest for a day first, and tomorrow I will send someone to escort you back to the Elven Forest!"
"Thank you, Lord Keane!" said Sengil, who couldn't be happy because of her fiancé.
"Let's move on!" Jia Zhengjin gave an order, harnessing the fake dragon, and continuing to fly towards the forest with the elves.
At this moment, it suddenly became clear that there were four or five more watchtowers near the entrance to the forest below, and in addition to that, in an inconspicuous place, there was a building in the shape of a barracks.
Whether it is near the guard tower or the barracks, there are a large number of heavily armed soldiers patrolling back and forth.
"What's going on?" Jia Zhengjin was startled, thinking that this place was occupied by other forces. He hurriedly sent the imposter dragon down in the direction of the watchtower.
"Alert!!" Seeing the strange combination of the dragon and Ruruto's troops suddenly falling from the sky, as well as the thousands of elves on Ruruto's back, the soldiers in the watchtower immediately screamed the alarm.
At the moment when Jia Zhengjin led the team to land, hundreds of ironclad soldiers with nervous faces surrounded them from all directions.
Probably sensing danger, the elves hurriedly summoned magic bows and were ready to fight at any time.
"Stop!!" At this moment, someone suddenly came from the direction of the barracks on a war horse, shouting at the top of his voice. After that, he quickly arrived in front of Jia Zhengjin, and directly picked up the horse and knelt down on one knee, "Lord Kean, are you back?"
"Moses?" Jia Zhengjin breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the six or seven hundred soldiers in front of him and asked suspiciously, "What's going on with them?"
"Report to Lord Keane!" Moses replied, looking up, "the week you left, a fugitive force from Mangar City passed through the Beast Forest. Originally, they were all guards of Mangar City, numbering about 900 people. Because of the natural disaster, Mangar City has no harvest this year, the city lord is unwilling to pay for food relief from other cities, and the nobles only care about their own food, regardless of the life or death of others. The civilians of this city starved to death, and fled to flee! Finally, they could not bear it anymore, so an uprising broke out against the city lord! In the midst of this chaos, the city lord's guards were forced to engage the civilians without getting enough respect and food to fill their stomachs. They couldn't take it anymore, so they simply left the lord and fled! Our patrol found these Mangar soldiers passing through the area nearby, and they said they would take refuge with us as long as they were fed and clothed. Therefore, General Zhuoma gave an order to collect them all, not only to provide them with sufficient food and people, but also to provide them with iron armor and weapons refined by kobold craftsmen in the city. Now these soldiers are stationed on the outskirts of the forest, replacing the kobold patrols. With them, the roads on the outskirts of the forest are much safer than before!"
"I see!" Jia Zhengjin suddenly understood, "But there are so many mouths for eating in the city all of a sudden, is it really okay? Is the food and water supply enough? Today, I have brought back more than a thousand elves, although I will only stay for one day for the time being, and I will send them away, will it not cause too much burden, right?"
"Master Keane can rest assured," replied Moses at once, "and now we have hunting parties that go out every day under the leadership of Generals Dolma and Alwyn to hunt for raw meat. The women and children in the village, who had nothing to do, returned to the safe area near the city to pick wild fruits and vegetables. There are teams of fishermen who fish in the river, and there are also teams of farmers who use their farmland to grow fruits and vegetables. Now the food in the city is not only not tight, but the warehouse is full and very full!"
"That's good!" Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin breathed a sigh of relief, "Hasn't there been any major incident in the city recently? Has the city been attacked by monsters? Are there any enemies from other forces attacking us?"
"Don't worry, Lord Keane!" Moses replied hurriedly, "Now that our military is quite strong, the nearby forces dare not provoke it at will. The city is developing steadily according to Lord Kean's instructions, and there are no monsters attacking the city!
"Yes, that's good!" Jia Zhengjin nodded and said, "Then you continue to patrol here, and I will bring the elves to the city first." “
"Yes, Lord Keane!" Moses immediately stepped back and shouted at the soldiers, "All of them, stand up!"
"Whoa!" all the soldiers present immediately straightened up, raised their heads and chests.
"Salute to Lord Keane, the Most High!" Moses shouted again.
"Wow!!" the soldiers raised their hands in unison and laid them flat in front of them, posing like Chinese zombies.
"Is this what the military salute in Mangar City looks like?" Jia Zhengjin almost laughed out loud, but when he thought that these soldiers had joined him, they were his subordinates. Thinking of this, he immediately restrained his smile and looked at Moses and the soldiers seriously, "Since you have joined my city, you must forget the military salute of Mangar City, and learn my military salute and keep it in your mind!"
"Please guide Master Keane!" Moses immediately exclaimed.
Jia Zhengjin nodded, and casually gave a neat hand salute from the People's Liberation Army in his previous life: "From now on, everyone will use this military salute!"
"Yes!!" Moses responded, and all the soldiers quickly followed Jia Zhengjin's example and raised their right hands in a rustic manner.
