Chapter 48 20. The horses were gone,
the cold lizard was full, and Darkus and his party returned to the road in a mighty manner.
At this moment, the black smoke coming out of the manor could be seen from the high spire of Krakarond. After the dignitaries of other manors saw the departure of Darkus' troops, they sent people to check the news that the patriarch of the Thorn family had died two sons. Gradually spread among the noble circles in the city.
"That's good, no, am I influenced by this brother? Or by this environment? Entering a group will only make people blind? A rabble? Domestic huskies become the wolf king of the wolf pack?"
Darkus looked back while looking The manor was in flames, and he began to think wildly.
"Ren, you have another mission."
Renn looked back and immediately smiled: "Sir, I understand, is the perspective from the river okay?"
Darkus nodded with satisfaction and said: "Well, you Understand me."
Franese's face changed when he heard this, and he glared at Ren, who in turn realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"Relax."
Today is not a day for clearing wood. No pedestrians were seen on the road on the south bank of the Red Poison River. Only Darkus' team was walking on the road.
Suddenly, the animal trainer who was scouting in the sky reported that a group of cavalry was coming from behind. After a while, Darkus heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind.
Darkus shouted to Walter: "Don't be in a daze! Someone is coming from behind!" After saying that, he picked up the monocular telescope on the belt and started looking.
A group of dark cavalry came. The leader saw five dignitaries from Darkus lying on the roadside. He ordered the team to stop, took out the flag of the Hell Calamity family, and rode forward alone.
The captain dismounted and walked over with the flag. When he got to Six Swords, he knelt on one knee and took out the warrant from his arms and said: "Sir! Our team is stationed at the forest farm under the orders of Krakarondvarahar, and we are here to report to you. !"
"What time did you set off?"
"Sir, we will set off in the afternoon!"
Darkus took out his pocket watch and took a look. It was four o'clock now. There were too many slaves and the march was very slow.
"How many troops?"
"Forty dark cavalry, including ten repeating crossbowmen."
Walter turned over and jumped off the cold lizard. He was holding a crutch sword in his left hand and a knight's leaf hammer in his right hand. He walked over and looked at the warrant. He glanced back and nodded to Darkus.
"You guys go to the front and maintain order among the slaves."
"Yes, sir!"
Then the dark cavalry walked around and went to the front to suppress the slaves.
It was already dark when we arrived at the forest farm. The forest farm was particularly lively tonight. Two newly arrived centurions and an original centurion were driving away slaves to build the camp.
The forest farm has a fortress structure, similar to a camp, rather than the well-organized northern forest farms.
The wall is six meters high and made of felled black pine. Soldiers will patrol the wall day and night. The Black Ridge Mountains are not like the old forests in the north. Although there are no copper bulls and no Skaven in this mountain, No more green skin. But there are Beastmen, various beasts corrupted by Chaos, and the Shadows who were exiled from Krakarond after their political struggles failed.
The barracks, slave sheds, warehouses, stables and the chief officer's residence are all equipped in the village, except that there are no cellars and cold lizard fences. After all, no Druchi dignitaries will come to stay here, even if they come here. We need a cellar, and there's no cabbage in this damn place.
"Don't sleep tonight. Mobilize these slaves and start digging cellars and building camps. Let the soldiers also move. Don't be idle, Edmund! You will be responsible." A crow fell on Darkwu On Si's shoulder, he thought for a while and said: "Franais, you three brothers and sisters, go and live in the big room."
Franais said hesitantly: "My lord? This?"
Darkus Glancing at him, Franais nodded. Then he looked at Baine and said, "Thank you for your hard work tonight, let Walter live with you, and you guys live in that room." After speaking, Darkus raised his finger and pointed to a small room.
Baine nodded numbly.
"Dismissed!"
The crow flew away again.
Darkus guided the two dinosaurs to go to the warehouse to spend the night.
The four Disaster Walker chariots commanded by Kalien and Alyssa also returned. The trainers began to spread straw in the warehouse and fill the air leakage with wooden boards. Alyssa once again activated the magic heating compartment. .
Darkus thought that Newkel would give some instructions, such as what to do well or whether to go too far, but in the end there were no instructions at all. Darkus understood and the fire could continue to burn.
After a simple dinner, the soldiers moved Darkus' personal belongings into the house because the horses needed to be accommodated in the stables. He didn't want to wake up the next morning with all the horses gone. He commanded five cold lizards to enter his house. s room.
The house is not big, the furnishings are spacious, and the layout of the home furnishings is very creative and thoughtful. You can see the bed and everything in the house from the door.
The roof of the spire structure has beams arranged in a cross shape and has no ceiling. There are four mirrors on it. When you look at the roof from any angle in the house, you can see the top of the beams through the mirrors.
"Eh, it stinks."
After entering the house, Darkus checked the injuries of the five cold lizards. After finding no problems, he originally wanted to play with the five cold lizards for a while, but the big one blocked the other cold lizards. In front of the lizard, he had no choice but to play with the big guy.
After playing for a while and preparing the repeating hand crossbow and flintlock musket, Darkus, who was lying on the bed smelling the pungent smell of blood and the faint odor of the cold lizard, fell asleep directly.
The next day, Darkus was woken up by the big guy. He opened his pocket watch and saw that it was only six o'clock.
He glanced at the big guy leaning on the bed and wagging his tail vigorously.
Darkus touched the claws of the big guy's front legs and said, "Are you hungry?"
The big guy nodded expectantly, and Darkus reluctantly turned over and sat up, touching its head.
"Are you a pig?"
Darkus didn't even wash his face as he led the five cold lizards out of the door. Kalien and the animal trainers had already prepared the food for the cold lizards. He faced the big one After explaining for a long time, tell it not to bite.
The entire forest farm's slaves and off-duty soldiers were mobilized to dig cellars, with pickaxes clanging. Fortunately, this is the edge of the Black Ridge Mountains. There are several active volcanoes that erupt all year round, and the ground can be dug. It would be unthinkable in Golond.
Darkus did nothing this morning, just serving these five ancestors. There was no place to put them, and the reins couldn't hold them. If he didn't watch, the cold lizards would have fun in the forest to see who would bite whom, but he could apply so much potion to others.
In the afternoon, half of the hole was dug. The top of the hole was covered with purple-blue luminous crystals of unknown material, and the atmosphere suddenly became cyberpunk. Digging was still going on inside, and the cellar had to make sure there were two holes that could accommodate the dinosaurs, just in case.
Darkus began to guide the five cold lizards and dinosaurs into the cellar breeding room.
A little awkward_(:з ∠)_
