North of Nash Canyon.
The dazzling sunshine peeled off the thick clouds, but could not uncover the eerie and unbearable fog spreading from Nash Canyon.
Several days have passed since the last heavy cavalry duel. After repairs by craftsmen and slaves, the broken rocks and boulders remaining in the canyon have been cleared, the broken ground has been leveled, and the weathered cliffs have been repaired again. Reinforcement.
If they hadn't accidentally looked down and caught a glimpse of the half armor and pale bones washed out of the ground by the rain when they were on the road, most people might really think that this was a majestic road created by nature's miraculous craftsmanship.
The road has been paved, but the military flag above the Rose Camp still shows no intention of moving. Not only that, they have set up camp, set up strongholds, established outposts, and strengthened defenses. In the past few days, the craftsmen have received, All these commands.
…
"Soldiers are valuable and quick. No matter what you think, you should hurry up and mop up the enemy."
"The whole country is waiting for General Rose to defeat the traitor James and become the new God of War."
"As long as we continue to fight, these armaments will continue to be sold. Of course, it would be even better if we win the war."
…
In the past few days, whether it was craftsmen, soldiers, or city nobles and chamber of commerce representatives who had heard the news, they were all whispering about this. However, they were still confused and obeyed Qiangwei's arrangements and did their best. Try your best to complete the tasks assigned by Qiangwei.
Looking down from the sky, the vast supply team is like a spider web, walking between the cities around the Parada Empire and Nash Canyon.
They brought stone and wood,
They brought food and wine;
They took away the wounded and mutilated,
They took away good news and obituaries.
The army is a giant beast born for battle. The general's order is its will to move forward, and the life of the soldier is its metabolic cells. When it fights, it wields claws that tear everything apart, and when it rests, it also needs to swallow huge amounts of food.
"Stack these stones. If you can't move them, ask a mage to help. Fill the spaces between the stones with cement mortar. There were signs of invasion by James's barbarians two days ago. Fortunately, no casualties were caused. James’ cavalry has also made a comeback, and we have to rely on these stone walls to slow down the enemy’s charge.”
"The Juma should be arranged more neatly, with the spikes facing outward, facing the entrance of the canyon. The soil under the Juma must be patted tightly. It is best to put a stone underneath first, and then use a shovel to pat it a few more times after leveling."
"The ropes under the windshield on the top of the sentry should be rolled up a few times and then tied tightly. The ditch around the sentry must be kept clear. I don't want our soldiers to be washed away by heavy rains. Stand guard in a collapsing sentry."
…
A new guard post is being built at the entrance of Nash Canyon. At the construction site, a young man named Dick is commanding the construction workers with a loud voice.
Dick is a knight's squire, a knight's squire who serves at Rose's side.
Like many knights' attendants, as the most basic combat unit and logistics unit in the army, it is Dick's bounden duty to serve the knights in front of and behind the horse and dedicate his life.
However, Dick is more than just a knight's squire.
In the past, Dick was an apprentice running errands for a blacksmith. The blacksmith's name was Victor Tallis, who was Rose's biological father.
Among the many apprentices of Victor Tallis, Dick is considered his favorite disciple. Even if he joins the army now, Dick's skills have not deteriorated at all, and Dick himself does not hesitate to use his skills. He not only enthusiastically helps soldiers They maintained their weapons on a daily basis. The fine iron chainmail hidden under the army's red uniform with the cross embroidered on the chest was also made by Dick himself.
Every time he touches this piece of chain mail, Dick will always recall his master who was killed by evil people, and his anger will constantly fan the flames of his anger. Even as a logistics worker, Dick is always eager to think Go to the front line with the frontline soldiers to kill the enemy.
It's a pity that Dick's application is always rejected by Qiangwei with a look of helplessness——
Dick's legs and feet were not very sharp. His calf tendons had been cut off in a very cruel manner. If the cardinal had not treated him promptly, he would have been left with a lifelong illness.
Dick vaguely remembered that it was a dark and stormy night when the Empire's defector God of War James Tarris and the Empire's wanted criminal George Lucifer broke into the blacksmith's workshop, killed the blacksmith, destroyed the workshop, and destroyed the blacksmith's workshop. Taking away the first draft of the Nightmare Knight's design blueprint.
Dick was lucky. The thief George only burned two of his tendons and let him go. Dick, who covered the grave for his master, was finally rescued by a passing monk army. Only then did he survive and successfully save the man from the previous night. The crimes committed by George and James were made public.
"Hateful James, hateful George, don't let me meet you, otherwise I will kill you with my own hands and avenge my master!"
More than once, Dick cursed like this in his heart. In addition to the flail that he always carried on his back, Dick also made himself a short knife, just so that one day when he saw his enemy, he could unexpectedly give him a hard blow!
But, just today, at the pass of Nash Canyon, a pair of eyes with blood-colored pupils intertwined with his gaze unexpectedly.
Time seemed to have stopped for a few seconds.
"George...Lucifer?"
"You are...ah, by the way, you are Dick!"
It was clear that the hateful person opposite was being escorted by heavily armed soldiers, and that he was surrounded by elite generals under Rose's command. Deep in Dick's heart, there was a sense of fear that penetrated his bones, and a guilt that even Dick himself could not notice. But it came straight to his heart.
"ah!"
"Killing!"
"Help!"
…
Like a young lady with cockroaches running into her boudoir, Dick screamed crazily and rolled and crawled towards the depths of the tent. He threw away the flail on his back, the short knife in his arms, and the chainmail on his body. He took it off, leaving only the footprints left by stumbling along the way, and everyone with speechless faces.
"Let's go, let's go! You damn wanted criminal, let's see what good things you have done! How dare you make our attendants so irritated, I will give you a good reward when I meet General Rose later!"
After recovering from Dick's unexpected reaction, the soldier pushed George, who had become a prisoner, and asked him to hurry up.
However, under the shadow that the soldier did not notice, there was hidden George's thoughtful gaze, a thread of blood floating in the air as thin as a hair, and a meaningful smile.
…
"General Qiangwei, I have brought you."
"Thank you. Please step back."
"But, General..."
"I said, stand down!"
"yes……"
In the huge general's tent, a man and a woman were alone in the same room. However, this was not the prelude to some erotic plot. In front of George's eyes, Qiangwei seemed to be very relaxed and wiped her rifle, but there was something vague floating in her eyes. The murderous intention was constantly stimulating George's sixth sense.
This woman is so strong!
"The famous assassin of the Pope, George Lucifer, can I ask you to stop pretending? If you can be subdued by a mere iron chain lock, wouldn't it mean that the Pope of our country is too useless?"
"Ah hahaha, General Qiangwei, you are joking. As a prisoner, I still have to abide by these basic rules."
Hearing this, George smiled. On the way to being escorted over, George had actually quietly tampered with the locks. Now he only needed to exert a little force, and these instruments of torture used to detain important prisoners fell to the ground one after another.
However, just when George wanted to adjust and stand up from the uncomfortable kneeling position to relax his muscles and bones, Qiangwei's lance suddenly arrived, and the tip of the lance stopped less than half a foot above George's head. Then, The cold murderous aura and the strong wind brought about by the gun seemed to be reacted belatedly, and it hit George violently in the face.
"Who allowed you to stand up?!"
Qiangwei gritted her teeth and said, at this moment, in Qiangwei's eyes, George saw flames, the flame of hatred was burning!
"Okay, okay, I'll continue to sit here. General, you have the final say, you have the final say!"
Seeing Qiangwei looking like she was on the verge of going crazy, George quickly sat upright, pretending to be harmless, and tried to prevent her from using the topic to get angry.
At least, George had to endure it until he achieved his goal.
"Let's get straight to the point! George Lucifer, in order to get close to me, you took the initiative to reveal your identity to the scouts. You were detained here without making any resistance. What's your plan for surrendering so arrogantly? You are James' lost dog. Please come here and beg for mercy, or do you think that as long as you can walk into this tent, you can fight with me like you did when you assassinated the Pope many years ago, and then walk out of this tent in a dignified manner?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, how dare I fight against the future God of War of the Empire. I don't think I'm good at studying, so I won't die here. This time I came here entirely out of my own will and has nothing to do with James. , mainly because I want to talk to you, General Rose, about the old blacksmith Victor Tallis."
"Killer, you don't deserve to mention my father's name!"
To George's surprise, when he mentioned the name of Qiangwei's father, the girl in front of him immediately tore off her calm face, with murderous intent in her eyebrows.
"General, please allow me to boldly ask, why did you call me a killer and what did I do?"
"What did you do? How dare you ask me?!"
In anger, Qiangwei raised the cavalry lance in her hand. The sharp edge of the lance reached George and could stab him at any time!
"My father was killed by a combination of you and James! James knew that my father was unwilling to help him, so he entrusted my father to design this Nightmare Knight's armor through you. In the end, James took away the blueprint and also the armor. My father's life was taken! If Dick hadn't escaped death and escaped this disaster, your crimes would have been buried under the ruins forever. What else do you have to say!"
