"Oh no, let's go, Cook, the empire is at war!" Cook and Naris had just returned to the inn when they were stopped by Viscount Locke, and they rushed out of the inn without returning to the room, and the waiter at the inn had been waiting for a long time, Viscount Locke said anxiously.
"Go to war, my lord, go to war with that?" Naris was taken aback, knowing that the object of the empire's war must also be the empire, you must know that the empire of this world is very large, an empire has dozens of principalities, as well as provinces directly under the central government, and the scope of jurisdiction is too large.
"The Ceylon Empire, the Ceylon Empire has broken through the two border towns of the Duchy of Muni, and this is a conscription order that has just been issued. Viscount Locke pulled out a beautiful scroll and handed it to Naris.
"What, it's so strict to dispatch the Magic Legion?"
"Of course, the Duchy of Muni is the main grain producing area of the Empire, and now that the grain is about to be harvested, this time the Ceylon Empire also has to fight because of the drought in the Empire. "Viscount Locke seems to know a lot.
"But why did you recruit us?" asked Naris, a little confused.
"Because this year is a five-year change of guard, so there are no decent knights around the empire at all, so this time all the nobles along the way, regardless of size, have to send people there, and we, those with military merits, are even designated to go, but then the empire's mammoth legion has begun to set off, and it is expected to catch up with us when it comes into contact with the Ceylon Empire, and we are mainly escorting this magic legion on the road first. Viscount Locke explained as he led the horse.
However, Cook next to him spoke: "My lord, what if we meet the army of the Ceylon Empire in advance?"
"No, this is what the General Staff of the Military Department has done several times of argumentation. Viscount Locke replied in the affirmative.
"Khan!" Cook had never heard of that staff department daring to argue like this, you must know that war has a great suddenness and change, but looking at Viscount Locke's appearance, Cook is not easy to say, and if he says anything else, it does not match his age.
"Mr. Cook, this is a mount from my master for you, and a gift. "It was at this moment that one of the attendants brought out a horse, which was brown and not as tall as Viscount Locke's mount.
"Yaranma, with good stamina, is very suitable for the profession of hunter. Viscount Locke commented.
"Thank you!" Cook didn't say anything, just took the reins and thanked him.
"No!" the man smiled and left.
"Let's go, Cook!" Viscount Locke looked at the Aran horse beside Cook and nodded, the Aran horse is very resistant to bitter cold, and the endurance is also very strong, very suitable for all kinds of environments, is one of the ideal mounts for scouts.
"Dude, what's your name?" Cook then asked in beast language, a strange sound to the others, of course.
"Boy, who is your buddy, Lao Tzu and I are a military horse, do military horses understand?" How do you know that this mount does not buy it, and roars lowly, showing its big teeth, obviously very rude to Cook.
"Yes, is there any difference between military horses? Cook seemed to know that there was no way to ride, so he had to pull up the reins and lead him away, asking as he went.
"Military horses are rigorously trained and can exert their maximum energy. The horse let out a sigh of relief, and reluctantly followed behind Cook.
"Okay, okay, do you want to eat, do you have any requirements?" Cook had no choice but to attack with sugar-coated cannonballs.
"One egg a day, and half a pound of ale wine, the rest is so-so. The horse said very politely.
"Uh, eggs, ale!" Cook muttered.
"Hehe, it seems that our little Cook and his new companion are in good harmony, but the forage for the mount is provided by Lord Viscount, and the Empire when recruited, and not only eggs, ale, but also meat powder in wartime!" Quive said with a smile.
"Really?" Cook relaxed a lot, and then realized, no wonder knights are so rare, you must know that an egg, half a catty of ale is worth half a silver coin.
"Hehe, you're still a horse, if you see the mammoth legion, you'll be even more surprised, those mammoths cost a day a gold coin. Viscount Locke also explained with a smile.
"One gold coin!" Cook smacked his tongue, one gold coin is almost a year's consumption of a family of four civilians, and some of them are not used up, as you can imagine.
"Only the Empire has such a large financial power, a huge army of five thousand mammoths. Viscount Locke sighed proudly.
"Hehe!" Cook couldn't figure out the difference between the mammoth here and the mammoth of that world, so he had to laugh and laugh, Cook also had this kind of pride in a big country.
"Then we'll be partners from now on. Cook then said to Yarama beside him.
"Partner, is it really a partner, not a mount?" the Arran horse asked, obviously confused, tilting his head to look at Cook.
"Of course, whether on the battlefield or in private, we are all partners!" Cook replied firmly.
"You swear!" said Arran the horse.
"I swear!" replied Cook sternly, for Cook knew what a good mount would do to its master.
"I envy you for having a good master!" said Viscount Locke's mount, glancing back at the Arran horse.
"That is, in fact, if you have been on the battlefield, you know that our mounts are very useful?"
"Yes, but our treatment level is not so good, who made us pack horses?"
"Pack horses are also very important!"
..................
Cook was dizzy when he heard this, and finally learned that some talent is not a good thing, Cook listened to several mounts talking to each other along the way, and also greeted passing mounts from time to time, Cook had a feeling of dreaming.
"Uh, where's the little thing?" Cook sat on the back of the Arlan military horse very smoothly, the military horse was different, and sat very steadily, but Cook noticed that the small thing that was originally on the collar was actually missing.
"You mean the spider, I saw it get in!" said to Cook as a pack horse behind him looked at a package on the Arran horse.
"Uh! thank you!" Cook was speechless, it turned out that this talent was also beneficial.
"No, I see that little hole in there, that's where I got in. The pack horse said with some excitement.
"Well, the skin pockets have been bitten through. Cook quickly picked it up, and found that it was the bag containing the water rabbit, and the bag had a small hole in it, as if it had been burned with fire.
"Is this gone?" Cook opened the leather pouch in confusion, and found that there was a hole in the head of the water rabbit, and the little thing was struggling to get out of the small hole, but it was obviously too full to eat, and it was stuck, and Cook was very surprised, because Cook saw that the water rabbit's head was obviously empty.
"Come, come, come!" the little thing looked at Cook and struggled to make a sound.
"See if you're still asserting your own opinions?" asked Cook, tapping his finger on the little thing's head.
"No! out!" the little thing still popped out word by word.
"Since you know it's wrong, then I'll help you. Cook picked up a dagger and pried open the skull of the water rabbit, which was also given by Jim.
"Hurry up, we're going to speed up, go back and prepare immediately, and then wait for the magic legion on the road. Locke yelled loudly, and then clamped the horse's belly hard, and the speed immediately increased a lot.
"Am I going too?" asked Cook, suspicious.
"Of course, you have to go at this time, and of course the necessary left-behind personnel must also stay, but you Cook must be indispensable, because fighting is the best way to increase your rank, and it is also the best opportunity to earn military merits!" replied Naris, a little excited.
