Chapter 357 Chapter 325 The Storm Comes

"Yi? This is a holy knight's badge of the temple. How could you have such a thing?" Qiao Qiao looked at the thing in Du Wei's hand and saw Du Wei's nervous face, so he couldn't help asking: " It is absolutely impossible for an outsider to obtain the Holy Knight Badge! You...you probably forged it! You forged the Holy Knight Badge, do you want to deal with the temple... Ah, maybe you stole it! " Du Wei smiled wryly: "This thing...hehe, it really belongs to 'me'!" Qiao Qiao didn't believe it, she shook her head and said, "You can't lie to me. The holy knight badges are all stamped with holy power, and the back of each badge has the owner's name stamped on it. Even if it is a magician, it cannot be forged. If you say that this badge is yours, just turn it over and show it to me."

Du Wei froze for a moment, on the back... the name of Aragorn was engraved on the back, if she really wanted to show it to this woman, wouldn't she stare out her eyes? Du Wei was in a dilemma, but Qiao Qiao sneered, and suddenly snatched it away.After all, Qiao Qiao is also a high-level warrior with both skills in magic and martial arts. How could Du Wei, an ordinary mage, beat her? Qiao Qiao snatched the badge and turned it over. When she saw the back, she suddenly covered her mouth, said "ah", and looked at Du Wei again, her eyes were indescribably weird. Du Wei sighed and didn't know how to explain it, but Qiao Qiao had a strange expression on his face: "This, this thing is really yours? I can see that this badge doesn't seem to be forged... But, but how could the temple give you such a badge?" A badge? Have you already taken refuge in the temple?"

Du Wei was also taken aback, took the badge from Qiao Qiao's hand and glanced at the back, his expression couldn't help but become weird. The pattern on the back is no longer "Aragorn Roland"!A few simple patterns, but finally formed a brand new name! "Dwey Rudolph Rollins" Du Wei also opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and then forced a smile: "Look, I said earlier that this is my thing, but you don't believe it." He quickly put the badge into his arms. Qiao Qiao narrowed his eyes: "I don't doubt that you really took refuge in the temple. You really don't have much respect for the goddess. Even if everyone in this world believes in God, you will not be new. On this point, I Still know you well."

After saying this, Qiao Qiao suddenly showed a rare gentle smile on his face, especially the last sentence "I understand you", when he said it, he felt as uneasy as a deer bumping in his heart, but there was still such a thing in his heart. A hint of sweetness. She immediately noticed that there was a difference in her expression, coughed quickly, and said in a deep voice: "It's just that you got this badge of the temple, do you want to use the temple's idea in the future? I just want to remind you, then Helping the gods, you can't be trifled with." Du Wei laughed a couple of times... But this is hard to explain, so it's a long story.

Hmph, it doesn't matter if it's Aragon, or Duwei 1234... It's complicated to say, but if you really want to explain it, it's easy. It's like a guy playing an online game, first registered an "Aragorn" account, and after reaching level 100, he failed to deal with a super ultimate boss, the Goddess of Light.Then he found that his leveling direction was wrong, so he had to re-register a "Du Wei 1" alias, and then transferred the full set of equipment, game coins, experience points, etc. to this alias, and practiced again. One hundred levels to challenge the BOSS, but unfortunately failed again.In the end, he had to create a new account "Duwei 2", transferred all the equipment and experience points, etc. again, and started a new journey to fight the boss...

Things are actually as fucking simple as that! It's just these... Who can Du Wei tell? Who can Du Wei confide in these troubles and burdens?Who can understand his words? ? ... Du Wei and his team headed towards the imperial capital. In the evening, they arrived at a small town. According to Du Wei's instructions, the team rested here for one night.This move was immediately unanimously supported by the escorting cavalry. Looking at these lazy local garrison troops, Du Wei couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He has seen the elite Northwest Army under Lu Gao's command in the Northwest. They are well-organized, well-trained, and well-founded. They are really first-class elite soldiers!

Not to mention the cavalry on the prairie, their combat effectiveness is amazing, coupled with their excellent equestrian skills, and the savage 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... It was just walking with Du Wei's carriage for two days, and because Rodriguez and Jojo deliberately slowed down their progress in order to take care of Du Wei's recovery from injury.But this group of veteran soldiers... Seeing that they only rode on the horse for a long time, they all looked tired, their waists were sore and their legs hurt, they yawned and complained, if it wasn't for the military order, and the embarrassment of a big man like Du Wei Awe, I'm afraid I can't support it long ago.

If this kind of garbage soldier was under the command of Longbottom's 250th General, he would have been kicked out of the barracks long ago. Although the army of the empire has spring drills every year, this good tradition has been maintained for thousands of years. Although a lot of military expenditures have been wasted, it is aimed at keeping the army at full combat effectiveness-but after all, the system is dead, and people are alive.In some places, the annual spring drills are perfunctory, and Du Wei is not ignorant of this kind of concealment. Moreover, after all, even the spring drills can be strictly enforced, but after all, there is only one time a year.The combat effectiveness of the army is not something that can be solved by the annual spring drill.

The largest inn in this small town was naturally taken over by Du Wei and his party. Before Du Wei could give orders, hundreds of cavalrymen had already entered the inn. The boss and the guys inside were terrified, and hurriedly brought tea and water. And some cavalry even took off their armor by themselves... Even Rodriguez shook his head when he saw it. He couldn't help but smiled wryly at Du Wei: "These guardian cavalry are really useless. Although this trip is just to escort you, it is not a formal military operation, but after all, during the march, they dared to remove their armor without orders. It's already a violation of military regulations."

Du Wei shook his head: "The empire has been established for thousands of years, and the mainland has been unified. Looking around, there are no major opponents in this world, and there have never been any large-scale wars. Now... except for the Northwest Army and the Storm Army in the north, there There are Royal City Guards, and the Legion of the Southern Swamp. Apart from these main battle legions, other local garrison armies have long been disarmed, and some are even worse than some private armies raised by noble families. In fact, this is not the case. It's strange... It's been too long since we haven't fought, the army has fighting power! A real strong army is not trained, but fought... Alas, look at the quality of the Northwest Army, and then look at the withdrawal from the grassland Although there are only 20,000 of the 20,000 cavalrymen who came, they are all so brave!"

Having said that, Du Wei repeatedly shook his head. He didn't bother to care about these garrison cavalry, but some officers of these cavalry came to flatter him, prepared a first-class room, and ordered the boss to send food and wine. was called to see him. Du Wei didn't bother to use fine wine and food, so he ate something casually, so he excused himself to be tired and went to rest. As soon as he left, the cavalrymen below immediately became happy, drinking three times and four times at a time, a big bowl of fine wine, Eat meat in chunks. Rodriguez next to him sneered... During the march, these cavalrymen drank at will and got drunk!If the army under Duke Tulip's command would have been dragged out and chopped down long ago!But these guys seem to be used to it, even the officers who lead the team, their eyes are red from drinking - judging from the appearance of this group of people, I'm afraid they can't wait to find a few more singing girls to accompany them, to be more satisfied. Rodriguez was born as a standard knight, and he couldn't see this kind of scene, so he simply went with Du Wei after a while. In the evening, Du Wei was in the room, pinching the badge, thinking in his heart, but suddenly he heard a sound of horseshoes coming from outside the hotel downstairs! The sound of horseshoes approaching from far away, but it sounded as if they were extremely neat, even though they were galloping, the queue was not chaotic!And when they reached the door, the sound of horseshoes stopped in an orderly manner, but there was no neighing!Obviously these people have excellent riding skills, and they have great control over the horses! "Is there an army of this quality in the empire?" Du Wei was curious, so he couldn't help but pushed the door and walked out. In the lobby of the hotel, I saw more than 20 horses parked outside the door. All of these people were wearing bright hard armor, lined with leather robes, and immediately hung short crossbows that were only equipped by the main battle army. , with a snow-white long feather inserted, behind each cavalry, a gray cloak was draped. Then I heard a deep and majestic voice shouting: "Everyone dismounts, tidies up the equipment, and we eat here! Everyone must not leave their swords and bows! In addition... three people are left to take care of the horses, and they are not allowed to leave the horses for half a step!" After finishing speaking, the man jumped off his horse, and the twenty cavalrymen behind him dared to dismount. These people moved neatly and vigorously, and even when they walked into the lobby, the sound of Xiaoxiao's leather boots seemed so energetic! The cavalry at the back ruthlessly rejected the inn waiter's move to lead the horse, but automatically separated three people to lead the horse, and let the waiter lead the way to the stable behind. "During the march, military horses are not allowed to be taken care of by idlers! This is a military rule! What fodder the horses eat and what water they drink must pass through our hands!!" After the leader walked into the lobby, he was dressed in silver armor, which made his already burly and majestic body even more upright. Unlike the subordinates behind him, the cloak on his body was bright red. Along the way, there was a lot of dust -- but even so, it was even more sturdy than the defenders in the lobby! The man walked in with big strides, seeing the drunken scene inside, he couldn't help showing a deep disdain in the tiger's eyes, and even showed a faint anger, as if he was about to say something, but he gritted his teeth and sneered , ignoring the drunken guys inside, went straight to the corner and sat down.And the dozen or so cavalrymen behind him maintained a kind of full vigilance even in their walking postures. When they came to the leader's side, they faintly formed a defensive formation. The drunken garrison soldiers nearby fell silent when they saw the dozen or so people coming in.Although they drank a lot of wine, after all, the costumes of the imperial military system can still be seen! I saw the leader wearing a red cloak among the dozen or so riders who came in. He looked about thirty or forty years old, with a resolute face. Even though he looked a little tired at the moment, he did not lose his might.And... the badge on the chest of his armor clearly showed his identity as a genuine general! ! Moreover, the cavalry behind him, gray cloak, silver armor, and white feathers on the helmet... These characteristics are immediately recognizable. These people are one of the main battle legions of the empire, stationed in the storm at the southern end of the northern frozen forest. Legion! The owner of this inn is also a clever man who picks him up from south to north. He ran up quickly, but he was stopped by two Stormtrooper cavalry from a distance. He didn't dare to approach, so he could only ask respectfully: " Ladies and gentlemen, what do you need?" "Food, clean and fast. There is still water! Then give it to my people, everyone's skins are filled with water. Everything must be fast, we still have to hurry." The boss smiled again: "My lord, we have a famous local fine wine here, do you want to..." The general's eyes widened suddenly, and he snorted heavily. The humming seemed to carry a deep power. The boss couldn't help but his legs went limp, and he almost sat down.He heard the general sneer and said: "Drinking alcohol while marching is a crime of beheading!" He said this very loudly, and when the group of defenders heard it, many of them showed expressions of disapproval.It's just that seeing that the other party is a general, everyone dared not speak. For a while, the hall became quiet. After a while, the leading officer of the group of garrison managed to tidy up his appearance, coughed twice, and honestly came over to salute. The general glanced at him and saw that the officer's face was flushed from drinking, and his eyes were even more serious. Ice-cold, just returned a gift indifferently, and ignored it. "Master General, we are from the XX Garrison Camp in XX City, and I am the second-level cavalry commander leading the team. It is really an honor for us to meet a general of the empire here!" Then the general sneered: "You are considered soldiers too? If they were under my command, they would all beheaded long ago! Disappear from my eyes quickly, I have something important to do, and I don't bother to argue with you, otherwise... Huh Humph." The officer trembled, and quickly apologized and retreated, but the garrison cavalry, everyone's face was unhappy, and of course they couldn't drink the wine, half of them ran out of the lobby in desperation, and some were unwilling The man hugged the jug and left, apparently going back to his room to continue drinking. After the hall became quiet, the general suddenly sighed softly: "Such military quality... Alas, how can you fight when you are in danger!" A cavalryman next to him seemed to be his confidant, but he comforted him in a low voice: "General, the empire has a strong army, and the royal city guards are very good, as well as the empire's navy..." "Navy!" The general couldn't help but smiled wryly when he heard this: "No matter how powerful the warship is, can it come to land! This time... well, let's not talk about it, everyone sits down and eats, we finish eating and drinking, and hurry up on the road!" When he gave an order, the cavalry standing around dared to sit down one after another. Everyone sat quietly. After the food was delivered, some people checked it. After eating and drinking in a short while, the general stood up and was about to order people to leave when he suddenly heard a laugh from above. "Ah... If I remember correctly, this is General Andrea of ​​the Storm Legion!" Afterwards, I saw a young man in fancy clothes coming down the stairs. When General Andre heard this, he immediately turned around and looked deeply at him. 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, and now Du Wei Rudolph. 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 while, and immediately remembered, but hurried forward two steps, slightly bowed his body, and gave a military salute: "It's His Excellency Duke Tulip! Andre of the Storm Legion has seen Duke Tulip!" Du Wei walked down, came to Andre's desk, and pulled him to sit down. Andre hesitated for a while, but sat down patiently. "General Andre, you are not in the north, why did you come here? I remember the imperial military law, soldiers are not allowed to leave their garrison area without authorization. Could it be that you are going south this time for some urgent matter?" When Du Wei asked, General Andre's face turned serious, hesitating for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, to tell you the truth... there is indeed trouble in the north. Order, return to the imperial capital to report the situation to the military command, and at the same time..." He smiled wryly: "At the same time, I also have an audience with His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, asking for... reinforcements!"
