The sun set its last rays and the legation's caravan stopped moving.
Locke, as vice-captain, was ready to start ordering the soldiers to set up their tents in an orderly fashion, setting up horse rejects and traps, and before he did so, he needed to report on the situation with the head captain of the envoy's caravan.
"Viscount Cage, are we ready to make camp?" Locke asked one of the men who rode to the forefront of the group, riding a brown horse and looking upright and austere from his appearance.
"Yes, Knight Locke!" Viscount Cage said with approval.
Locke got his orders and started ordering up all the soldiers and servants.
Speaking of the team's leader Viscount Cage, Locke's impression of him is quite good, very few of those hypocritical of other nobles, no matter what they do or say are all a board, if it is not Viscount Cage personally admitted that he did not join the army, Locke suspected that he is the military origin.
This Viscount Cage
Yawning, Locke straightened his back against the stone, got up and twisted, and with a crunch of bones, Locke felt better.Last night had been exciting, but Grace hadn't given him a good look, and in the latter part of the night Locke hadn't had the face to be crammed into a wagon with a large woman and two small ones, and when he got out he just found a rock half a man's height and leaned against it to deal with it for half the night.The lowly squire wasn't afraid of catching a cold or anything in one night, except for the fact that the stone was a bit diaphoretic.Early in the morning, smoke rose from the camp.Locke takes his share, and by the way, takes his sister and Grace's and theirs with him, Grace looks like she's really pissed off, and Locke needs to be coaxed.As expected, when she went to knock on the door of the carriage, Grace did not give Locke a good face, she just took the breakfast and closed the door without saying a word, through th
There were no trees in the desert, rocks were scarce, and the caravan had to rely on its wagons to keep the wind and sand at bay.The soldiers re-sheathed their armor, without the protection of hardened iron sheets, one night's sand alone would have made everyone's skin bloom.Because of the scarcity of firewood and the extremely low temperatures, the campfire was not lit, just a few torches around the wagon for illumination.The soldiers ate the dry rations they had brought with them and swallowed them in one gulp from their canteens.The nobles were going to be a bit better off than them, with jerky, fruit, and the like, not lacking for a while.After dinner, the soldiers began to take turns standing guard, the experienced ones, burying themselves under the sand with only half of their bodies showing.It hadn't been long since the sky had darkened, and the temperature had plummeted so much that only the sand retained some warmth, one of the few
The magician Nolan stood next to Aslan at some point, only to see him looking at the yellow sand outside the caravan with a grave expression, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the roiling sand and see what was actually inside."Some kind of demonized creature?" Locke wondered, although the air around him was filled with magic if anything, but only the total amount was large, but the quality was average, giving Locke a feeling that wasn't as strong as the one given to him by the Moonlight Wolves in the beginning."Not bad." Commander Aslan said, a wall of air surrounding him, blocking the acid that fell from the sky, fighting out of the air, one of the powers of a high ranked squire.Acid spots in the sky were still drifting down with the blowing of the yellow sand, but it could be felt that the frequency was much less than it had been at the earliest."It's coming!" Wizard Nolan pulled out his wand, his gaze fixed on the yellow sand in front of hi
Until the end of the battle, counting the wounded, a total of more than thirty soldiers suffered various degrees of cuts and corrosive injuries, while the number of deaths, seventeen.Most of them had died from the sharp claws of the sand-catchers, and while their acid was also quite horrific, it was thankfully blocked by the soldiers' tough armor and huge shields for the vast majority of them.Counting the wounded was a Praetorian lad, red and swollen-eyed, reporting the casualties to Aslan and Locke.Of the dead soldiers, half were from the Praetorian Guard and half from the Dark Guard.The former was because of blocking the first line of the Sand Curse attack tide, the latter was because the dark guards who only wore leather armor, faced with the acid sprayed out by the Sand Curse, staining was corroding off a large portion of the flesh.Commander Aslan led the soldiers in cleaning up the battlefield, and incidentally cremating the bodies of the sold
Because there was a possible sand-chewing colony nearby, the convoy started to move out the next morning just after it had been repaired.Riding on his horse, Locke curiously fumbled with a piece of sand-crusted backshell."What do the magicians need this for?" He didn't think that the sand-crusted armor had any other characteristics other than being unusually hard.Take the finger knocked, issued a "thud" dull sound, this armor to be lighter than steel, but hard enough to be compared to steel, if it can be made into armor is good, this is the idea of Locke.His bright yellow armor, in last night's battle was also sprayed with a small area by the sand-colored acid, this armor with excellent texture, worthy of the large amount of military credit that Locke had spent to redeem it in the first place, was only corroded with a thin layer.A little oiling and good care and it's another 90% new piece of armor.The direction of advance was due north, and
Crossing the Frye Army Station, Locke saw the long-lost green again.The next country was the Kingdom of Monstock, and the moment he stepped into the borderline of this country, Locke had a familiar feeling.Similar to which, Locke thought for half a second, was Charlotte.One of the most similarities between the land of Monstock and Shiloh is the simplicity of the people.And in Locke's eyes, simplicity is synonymous with being a good bully, Charlotte was able to maintain her dignity back then with the strength of a decent magical force, and what did this Kingdom of Munstock rely on, to gain a foothold in this surrounding country.It's also been two weeks since we entered this new country, and early November in Monstock is less cool than in the fall and winter days in Foston, and a little more poetic than in the water country.The rivers of Monstock are numerous, and the system of water is so extensive, that almost every country town, has one or
Outside the lofty and majestic city gates, even before the ambassadors' convoy approached, a whole group of cavalrymen had already stepped out of the gates one after another to give them a welcome.A tall knight wearing black armor and riding a black steed walked at the front of the cavalcade."Is it Princess Angelina of the Faustian Kingdom?" The black-armored knight inquired, and as far away as the black-armored knight was, Locke felt an overwhelming might that was like substance.It wasn't like a Knight's Squire to display strength."I am!" In the carriage, Angelina's pleasant voice came out, and then Angelina, who was wearing silver mage robes, appeared.The black-armored knight told the party to stay where they were and simply approached the legation, not caring in the slightest about the heavily armed Faustian soldiers around them."I am here by order of Lord Garcia to receive Princess Angelina to the imperial capital, Princeton." The black-
Locke, who had just realized what level he was on, was not discouraged; he had been many times more fortunate than the ordinary farmer who had spent his life in Fustian, muddling through.As a small man at the bottom, all he could do was to do his best to move up and up.Locke had never had very high ambitions, he always felt that he had worked hard and that it didn't matter which level he would end up at.Knowing that Knight Garron is a formal knight level powerhouse, Locke began to approach Knight Garron intentionally or unintentionally, he didn't expect that this kind of powerhouse would instruct him, take him as a disciple or something like that, he just wanted to see the formal knight level, what exactly is different from them, these ordinary people.After observing for close to a week, Locke came up with an answer that seemed odd to himself, "Eat less than average?" Locke was speechless as he pressed the words he had recorded like a ghostwriter.K
