Chapter 83 Signs of Disturbance
As the entire Middle-earth continent officially entered winter, His Majesty the King had promised Chang Hao's Grassland Wolf Cavalry Squadron and began to intervene in patrols on the northern border of the kingdom.
The northern border of the Orc Kingdom is surrounded by continuous mountains, which block the dust from the desert kingdom. When the light wilderness was not yet lord, the grassland wolf cavalry, who belonged to the northern province "Iron Crown" Legion, would be divided into several squads there and patrol the border for three months until spring came.
Before, when the two troll tribes in the Varonian wasteland had not been seized by Chang Hao, these bold trolls would not only attack the caravans passing by, but sometimes they would also attack the Wolf Cavalry's supplies convoy, causing considerable trouble to the Iron King Champion. Later, when they learned that the trolls were seized by the new lord, they were very grateful to the lord who had never met for venting their anger for them.
So later, when the Wolf Cavalry Squadron of the Iron King Champion got the task of helping Guangmingye patrol the border, he had no repulsion and treated it as a repayment.
A team that came from snow appeared on the Varonian wasteland. The leader was the wolf cavalry of the Iron King Champion regiment. The soldiers of these wolf clans were neatly handsome, with scimitars on their waists and riding all giant wolfs. Not only was they majestic and majestic, they didn't even have a single hair on their bodies. They were obviously the purest northern grassland wolf with blood.
The military caps of these wolf cavalry have grass-gray feathers, representing their Iron King crown wolf cavalry. Due to the shortage of metal resources, only the nobles were given metal badges, so the soldiers below had to use animal feathers.
But what is strange is that these elite cavalrymen from the northern provinces escorted not a convoy of supplies, but hundreds of tall taurens.
Chang Hao saw the taurens from a distance and couldn't stop smiling.
These taurens are nothing else, but they are the two hundred tauren craftsmen whom Chang Hao set out to the Snow Mountain of Taimudar to write a letter to His Majesty the King for his silence.
Since Chang Hao returned to Guangmingye from the capital Pompeii, he has begun to send people to send a large amount of mined iron ore to the central province regularly. Even if these iron ore have been removed by the most basic impurities, it has completely crushed the current level of craftsmanship in the kingdom. King Resak was very satisfied with these high-quality iron ore, so when he received Chang Hao's letter of help, he agreed against the opposition.
Guangmingye's industrial strength has reached a bottleneck. To develop science and technology and manufacture more modern things, multiple or even many complete assembly lines are needed. Manpower and talents have become the most scarce resources in Guangmingye at present.
These two hundred tauren craftsmen were just a drop in the bucket, but it was better than that. Chang Hao also knew very well, as far as the reserves of craftsmen and blacksmiths in the Orc Kingdom, His Majesty the King was willing to approve his application, which was already very worthy of his little viscount.
Recently, Chang Ge also discussed with him privately that he would apply to the Central Province to allow more orcs with excellent physical fitness and no fear of heights to join the Guangmingye Army. At the same time, she was also preparing to make the existing troops of Guangmingye more modern.
This big move requires astronomical figures in all aspects of manpower and material resources.
Chang Hao understood what the old girl meant, but they had to wait until the winter offensive passed. Only when they won this battle could he speak with His Majesty the King and Dante's Priest Lion. If they lost, let alone asking for people and money, it would be different whether he could continue to be a lord.
"In the past, people who watched movies said that dwarf craftsmen were very good, and they had to go to Tie Hill to trick some dwarfs back when they had time." A shameless lord was full of bad water.
"The Bill tribe craftsmen have a total of 217 people. You can count them, a lot of them." Walker, the captain of the Grassland Wolf Cavalry, was handling the handover procedures with Herbert. His subordinates saw the standard Yangyan armor on Herbert's body. The reassuring thickness of the armor made them suffer from red-eye disease the next second.
It’s really a ghost. Guangmingye is a private territory. These people are the so-called militia. How do you think their equipment seems to be better than those of regular legions?
Walker looked at the Valonian wasteland, which was different now, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.
At that time, human caravans often entered the orc kingdom from the northern border. Some caravans with serious business and strong capital would pay high prices to let the wolf cavalry of the Iron King Champion escort them throughout the journey. At that time, Walker was often assigned by the superiors to protect the caravans. He was so familiar with the Varonian wasteland that he could walk back and forth with his eyes closed, and it was said that he and the squadron he led were very popular with human caravans.
The reason is simple, because he is upright and never charges kickbacks.
"Thank you for your hard work, the wolf cavalrymen from the Iron Crown. Squadron Captain Walker, why not stay and have lunch together?" A cheerful voice floated from not far away.
Walker raised his head and saw a white viscount robe as white as snow. The collar of the robe had an iron noble medal. A young man with black hair was walking towards him, with a warm smile that could melt the ice and snow on his face.
"On behalf of the Iron King Crown Wolf Cavalry Squadron, I thanked you for your kindness, Lord Chang Hao." Walker lowered his head and stroked his chest and greeted him with a tone of neither humility nor arrogant.
In the Iron King Champions, there are many generals with higher status than Viscount. There are two reasons why he bowed his head. One is that the young man gained aristocratic status and territory with his military achievements in Mordor; the other is that the Guangmingye has been providing a series of services such as transit stations for the Grassland Wolf Cavalry in the winter offensive plan formulated by the Kingdom, so that the wolf cavalry who went to the border no longer have to travel to and from the border and the military base camp for long distances. After resting in the Guangmingye, he then returned to the border, saving them a lot of time and energy.
"Come on, Captain Walker, I have asked the people below to prepare good wine and food, but it will not be delicious when it is cold." Chang Hao walked to the squadron leader and shook his hands.
"I heard from my brother who had changed defense that Guangmingye's food is the best in the world, so I will disturb Lord Chang Hao this time. But we still have a task to eat later, and we can eat food, but we must not touch wine. The military rules are strict, so please forgive me." Walker explained to Chang Hao while signaling his men to feed the wolves.
"No problem, let's use tea instead of wine!" Chang Hao laughed.
When we arrived at the canteen of thousands of people in Guangmingye, the exquisite and delicious dishes were quickly presented by the beautiful cat girl maids. The wolf cavalry could not bear it and showed what the textbook-level "godling" was like, and the beauty on the entire long table disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Among the wolf cavalry, the only squadron leader Walker was slow to eat. He was surprised to find that the young nobleman was actually dining with his people, rather than enjoying delicious food in a separate luxurious single room like other nobles.
When talking about this issue, Chang Hao answered the doubts of Squadron Walker with the words "It is better to have fun than to have fun alone" and "Come from the people and go to the people".
Because Walker savored these two sentences for a long time, his eyes became much softer when he looked at Chang Hao. Obviously, the nobleman in front of him was very different from what he had seen before.
"Is the squadron leader convenient to tell me what's going on at the border?" Seeing that the time was almost right, Chang Hao raised his teacup to Walker and asked.
Walker hesitated for a moment, and then felt relieved that this was not a military secret. As long as he was determined to investigate, there would be news soon. It would be better for him to sell his favors.
"Just half a month ago, the Iron King Champion Headquarters received reliable information. When the first group of wolf cavalry patrolled the northern border mountains, they encountered well-equipped human scouts. The two sides had fought several times, and each other suffered losses."
Walker was afraid that the lord would not understand military knowledge, so he kindly explained: "According to the long-standing military advancement habits of the human empire, the scouts would not exceed ten kilometers from their rear large forces, which means that the two mercenary groups may have entered the territory of our orc kingdom now."
Chang Hao nodded, and just about to say something else, Walker had already stood up and put on his military cap, and stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you Lord Chang Hao for your warm hospitality. We still have a task. We need to arrive at the meeting place before the evening, so we won't disturb you."
"Pack me a few bags of cooked beef and let the brothers of the Wolf Cavalry take them on the way!" Chang Hao shouted to the kitchen, and soon someone came out carrying sacks of cooked beef.
Walker glanced at Chang Hao deeply, greeted a solemn military salute, took the sack and turned around and left with his brothers.
At the height of the Guangmingye Hall, Chang Hao looked at the wolf cavalry's backs as he left, his eyebrows frowned into the character Sichuan, until the cat girl with a broken ear appeared beside him.
"Boss, is there anything you want to ask me to come?" Lu Keke, wearing a maid outfit, is particularly pretty and eye-catching. Now, she and the entire Folding Cat tribe are training in the maid etiquette, and are also secretly receiving extremely formal scout training.
Lu Keke now seems to have just become taller and more beautiful than before. Her strength has long been different from the past.
"This wolf cavalry team will encounter some trouble... Although it has not happened, I can vaguely predict it." Chang Hao's face was very bad. When he reached the Golden Dan realm, his intuition became very sharp. He just saw a very unlucky sign of evil from the face of the squadron leader named Walker.
"Do you need me to follow them quietly?" Lu Keke's cat's tail was shaking, and his words were full of confidence. You should know that Lord Anna, who was a temple priest, also privately praised them as fighting maids and wild roses with thorns.
"Well, Lu Keke, take your reliable teammates with you and follow them secretly five kilometers away from the wind. Make sure they don't find it. If you find a dangerous situation that you can't handle, use this." Chang Hao turned around and rubbed Lu Keke's head, and took out a piece of talisman paper with strange patterns for her.
"Don't worry, boss." Lu Keke took the talisman paper, rubbed Chang Hao's palm intimately, and jumped down from the height of the hall and disappeared between the buildings.
