"Humph, there are just a few alien races, do we still need people from the Snow Fox Legion to dispatch!?" Snow Fox frowned and said, "That's it, let you stay here for one night today, and go back to where you came from tomorrow!" "
After saying that, without waiting for the reaction of the female knight and Feng Zhan, he left directly, chose a staircase, and walked in leisurely. But before disappearing, he suddenly turned around and looked at Lilith, who was dressed in snow-white, and smiled. , said amiably, "Little girl, come to grandma, grandma will take you to rest!", just like an old aunt taking care of her grandson.
I thought the little girl would refuse, but unexpectedly she walked over naturally, took Xuehu's hand, and left together.
This actually stunned Feng Zhan. Lilith had always been a person who kept away from strangers. When did she become so easy to communicate with!
But soon he thought that he had wasted another day by being rejected here, and another day was wasted by coming back tomorrow. Two days had passed, and there was no clue at all. It really gave him a headache.
The same goes for the female knight next to her. She doesn't want to insist on staying tomorrow. She has heard her father tell her about Master Snow Fox's temper. He has always said the same thing. Now she can tell her so much. , is already very good, plus His Highness Ai Wen, before he came, once quietly said to himself, don't force things if you can't do it.
In desperation, Feng Zhan had no choice but to take out his magic tent, prepare to spend the night and leave quickly the next day. This task really gave him a headache.
…
The next day, the wind started very early. When I came outside the cave, I was already dressed in thick snow, wearing a big cotton jacket, big cotton trousers, big cotton boots, thick gloves and The hat was much bulkier than Lilith's. It was given to me by the female knight. Since it was a man, he should wear something heavy. It really made Feng Zhan want to roll his eyes. It was hard for him to walk with this on. , I don’t know how much cotton was stuffed in this clothes. Now Feng Zhan looks like a fat man weighing 500 pounds.
Moving footsteps, he came outside and stepped on the snow. It was quite beautiful, but he thought he had gotten up early, but there were people earlier. After turning around a snow cliff, he saw a plain that was so vast that it was breathtaking. , appeared in front of Feng Zhan, and there were already naked men there, starting to practice. The shouts were full of momentum and earth-shattering. They were holding long swords in their hands and slashing fiercely. Unified, as if carved from the same mold.
Feng Zhan couldn't tell how many there were, but they were all visible in the endless snow. Thinking about it, this must be the Snow Fox Legion. No wonder Aiwen said he would come here to recruit troops. The number is still 50,000. Even if you see it, there are millions. If 50,000 people were taken away, it is probably not as big as a wave splashing in the sea.
Coupled with the momentum on their bodies, they were indomitable and murderous. Even from a distance of several kilometers, Feng Zhan could clearly detect them. It made people tremble and thought, if there really was such an army. , maybe it can really sweep the world.
"How about it, young man, aren't these young men great!?" A voice suddenly appeared behind Feng Zhan, full of toughness.
Feng Zhan responded instinctively, "Great!" When he turned around, what he saw behind him was a middle-aged man with snow-white hair and a beard like a steel needle, but it was very dark, and his face was full of vicissitudes of life. The traces left behind, rough skin, but it did not block his hard temperament. He was less than two meters tall and wore a white armor that seemed to blend into the snow. There were not many textures, only a fox pattern the size of a fist, etched On the right chest, he was waiting fiercely in front of him, but his eyes were full of cunning.
"Young man, I heard that you want to come here to recruit soldiers!?" the middle-aged man asked cheerfully.
"Yes, sir!" Feng Zhan replied politely.
"Haha, you don't need to call me Sir, just call me Old Jack!" said the middle-aged man who called himself Old Jack, "But, young man, you have no chance of finding anyone here. Your title of Viscount is not enough. , although they are military nobles, there are a lot of dukes, counts, and even grand dukes, but few of them can really recruit people here."
Listening to Old Jack's words, Feng Zhan felt that he had been hit hard. To return the favor to the Grand Duke, this was not bullying, it was something that the Grand Duke couldn't handle. What's the use of asking him, a little viscount! ?
However, while he was looking sad, Old Jack across from him smiled and said to him, "Don't be discouraged, young man. Although you can't recruit troops here, there are still other ways!?"
"What, do you know something..." Feng Zhan immediately opened his eyes wide, but he didn't expect that there would be a bright future, just when he had no way out.
"Yeah, there are other ways, but it's a pity that I love old Jack. When he gets older, he needs to take a few puffs of cigarettes, otherwise his memory won't improve..." Old Jack said with a yawn.
"Take it, Old Uncle Jack!" Upon hearing this, Feng Zhan immediately took out a bag containing several thousand gold coins and handed it to Old Jack.
But Old Jack waved his hand and said only one word, "Vulgar!"
Feng Zhan was stunned, but looking at Old Jack's somewhat contemptuous eyes, he suddenly realized that he might have misunderstood. With an apology, he put away the gold coins, and then with a swish, he took out a pound of tobacco leaves. But what that guy Coelio gave to him in Anfa City was said to be the famous good tobacco of the Dwarf Empire, and it was also a royal tribute. If he hadn't had the channels, he wouldn't have been able to get it, even though Feng Zhan was not a smoker. , but couldn't resist their enthusiasm, so they accepted a full thirty kilograms of tobacco leaves. When they saw Gandaul, they were robbed of more than twenty kilograms. At that time, Gandall even praised it, what a good thing!
What Feng Zhan had now was just over a kilogram. Old Jack over there didn't really care at first. After opening the bag and seeing what was inside, his eyes lit up and he almost exclaimed, "Okay." Boy, you are actually willing to give me old Jack, such fine tobacco leaves, I, Old Jack, can’t be polite to you anymore!" After saying that, he put it away as if he was holding a treasure, and looked at Feng Zhan again. , the look in his eyes was so eager that he wanted to hold it in his mouth for fear of melting, hold it in his hand for fear of falling, which made Feng Zhan even a little shy.
It was not until later that Feng Zhan realized how precious the things he gave away were. They were rare varieties of tobacco leaves with an annual output of less than 5,000 kilograms. They were almost never circulated in the market, even if they were occasionally available. It is also a priceless good thing, almost like the legendary Fire Dragon Tobacco Leaf. Gold is not precious enough in front of it.
"Young man, since you are so smart, I can't hide it anymore, so I'll tell you about a better way..." Old Jack began to ramble on, quite boasting about himself.
…
Far northwest of where the Snow Fox Corps is stationed, there is a settlement called the Snowfield Barbarians. It is very vast. No one knows how many Snowfield Manchus live there, but there is only a small tribe there. , home to at least 100,000 people.
And in such an icy and snowy environment, their strong will and strong body have been honed. As long as you are willing to pay a sufficient price, you can recruit them. With sufficient training, they are fully capable of turning them into peerless elite soldiers.
The reason why the Snow Fox Legion is here is because they hope to exercise their will and body in this ice and snow like them, because the bodies of those snowfield barbarians are really very strong, with an average height of two meters per person, and muscles The beard has amazing strength. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is due to the environment here. After all, in a place like this, if you don't have a strong body, you probably won't be able to survive.
You know, even a powerful empire like the Lohia Holy Empire does not have the strength to attack here. It just built a border city here to store troops. It has only a nominal monarch-minister relationship with the barbarians here. The territory here Although it has always been considered by the world to belong to the Holy Empire of Lohia, only the top leaders of the empire know that it is not that easy to rule here. Few people are willing to stay here all year round and endure the year-round ice and snow.
…
Old Jack introduced the situation of the snowfield barbarians in detail, including their living habits, customs and culture, hobbies, etc. Anyway, he told Feng Zhan everything he could think of. He even gave Feng Zhan a piece of information, which was quite detailed. The map basically summarizes the large and small snowfield barbarian tribes that are a hundred kilometers away from the border town where the Snow Fox Legion is stationed. It looks like there are dozens of them, and the population size is also approximate. It is really not low. The largest one is over 100,000, even reaching a scale of nearly one million. I really can’t imagine how they survive here.
Holding this distribution map of the snowfield barbarian tribes and looking at Old Jack leaving happily with the bag of tobacco leaves in his hand, Feng Zhan didn’t know what kind of emotion he was feeling. Anyway, it felt like it was quite sudden, but if Like Old Jack said, if he can survive in such an environment and still have a strong body and tenacious will, if he can really recruit such warriors, then his mission should be considered completed, and looking at With this number, even my own quota of 50,000 people may not be enough!
Thinking of good things, he quickly returned to the cave where the short-haired beauty Snow Fox was. Just in time to catch up with the female knight coming out of the tent, Snow Fox also happened to lead Lilith out of the stairs.
After a simple meal, Feng Zhan quickly said goodbye to the short-haired beauty Snow Fox, saying that he wanted to go to the snowfield barbarian tribes around the Snow Fox Legion to recruit soldiers, and hoped that Lord Snow Fox would allow him to go.
The short-haired beauty Xue Hu looked at Feng Zhan and readily agreed. She was not unhappy as expected. Instead, she smiled and said to Feng Zhan, "Come on, young man! I'm optimistic about you!"
Feng Zhan always felt that the words of the short-haired beauty were somewhat sarcastic, but at the same time he felt that she was really encouraging him, which really made him feel weird.
After eating, we quickly left this border town, which was almost surrounded by mountains. It was really big. Even with a mount, it took Feng Zhan several hours to get out of the city. Near noon, Only then did he really leave this ice and snow mountain city where he had stayed all night.
Ignoring the short-haired snow fox beauty's words, Feng Zhan set off towards the nearest snowfield barbarian tribe in a majestic manner.
My heart is full of passion, hoping that I can recruit enough strong soldiers as soon as possible to leave this cruelly cold world of ice and snow.
However, what he didn't know was that outside the mountain city where the Snow Fox Legion was stationed, the short-haired beauty Snow Fox and the old Jack who directed Feng Zhan to recruit soldiers from the snowfield barbarians were standing side by side, watching his leaving figure!
