The 1690th chapters rise (6)
Looking at the soldiers who had gathered together, Zhao Hu said loudly: "Brothers, we are about to face a serious choice. The damn Kazakhs know that it was our Falcon family who ambushed their army. Now they claim to kill all the people in our Falcon Territory. Your old men and children will be nailed to wooden stakes by the Kazakhs. Your beautiful and gentle wives will be driven to their territory by the Kazakhs like livestock. Your heads will be piled into a brave Skeleton Mountain. According to the latest news, the revengeful Kazakhs will enter Satdo County from the Central Tower area tomorrow morning. Now we have one day to make a choice."
The soldiers below found that the hoarse and grief voice of their lord was getting higher and higher, and then they were down, as if they were talking to themselves, but every sentence was clearly reached by each soldier's ears. Finally, they paused for a moment, and then a roar like a thunderbolt erupted, like a thunderbolt sounded in everyone's ears: "One is that our wife and children will be massacred by the Kazakhs, and the other is that they will return to the Falcon Territory immediately and lead their family to be driven away by other lords like refugees to the south."
The sudden announcement of the lord exploded in the entire army, confused and confused. These expressions filled the faces of all the soldiers. Only Mengda, who was watching the fun, was completely stunned when he watched Zhao Hu's performance. Which of his lord was doing? Most of this army composed of peasant soldiers were honest farmers. If he could be so scared, he might be scared away.
"Third, I will lead the bravest warriors of you to fight against these Kazakhs who want to massacre our wives, children, and children. I will lead them to hit these arrogant Kazakhs head-on. I will let them know that there are no cowards in our falcon territory, but only swords and blood to welcome the enemy. All those who participate will pay a gold coin to settle the house in advance. If we can come back alive in this battle, all of them will get a piece of land that belongs to him."
Zhao Hu glanced at the indignant soldiers below. From their faces, Zhao Hu could see his determination to fight the enemy without hesitation, especially when he heard the land, his eyes that longed to shine, and the heart that had just been hanging was uncontrollably let go. It seemed that this long-distance raid had hope.
Zhao Hu pointed to the strange face next to him, holding back the smirk and said seriously: "We will set out after two breaths. Everyone who is willing to go can go to Captain Mengda! Remember, this time I only have 300 war horses, so only the bravest warrior among you is qualified to go with me."
"Sir, you can't,,,,,," Mengda didn't expect that he would be suddenly pushed to the forefront. Before he could react, he was surrounded by soldiers who were swarming up.
Three hundred strong soldiers were quickly selected. In addition to the fifty most brave mountain hunters under Munda, there were even sixty-eight soldiers who claimed that they were formerly guard knights of the Northern Territory.
"Are these people knights?"
Zhao Hu's eyes were surprised to see these sixty-eight knights who were obviously different from ordinary soldiers in terms of momentum. The oppression and arrogance unique to professional soldiers made this group of people look very different from the nearby peasant soldiers.
Just like putting a wolf in a flock of sheep, it may be no different from a sheep when it lowers its head, but when the wolf raises its head and reveals its bloodthirsty fangs, no matter how many sheep there are around it, it cannot cover up the inherent threat and wildness.
"Yes, according to the badges they carried, most of them were subordinates of the lords of the northern region who were invaded by Kazakhs. They were forced to exile because their territory was looted. There was another one in it!"
Mengda, who was responsible for selecting soldiers, suddenly spread his palm in front of Zhao Hu's eyes with a mysterious look on his face. A silver-white pentagram emblem was suddenly in the palm of Mengda's palm.
"Silver Knight"
Zhao Hu's eyes contracted irritably. The pentagram in Mengda's palm was the identity certificate issued by the Imperial Knights Guild to the senior knights.
This silver-shining five-pointed badge shows that its owner is a high-level silver-brilliant knight. Such a person is also an amazing person, not to mention the barren south, but also in the rich north.
Zhao Hu didn't expect that this time he suddenly elected soldiers, and a silver-lighted knight would appear to be mixed with these newly summoned soldiers.
"What's your name? Is this your thing?"
Zhao Hu weighed the silver badge in his hand, which was indeed heavy and scary. However, it was only half the size of a palm, but he could feel the heavy pressure of Leng Yin, unlike a fake made of ordinary silver. He couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man standing first in the queue with curiosity.
The middle-aged man held a simple spear in his hand, and had a terrifying scar on his face, which ran from his ear to his mouth. Although he was wearing a ragged linen cloth, he stood there calmly, just like a towering lonely peak among the mountains, with an unspeakable pressure radiating to the surroundings.
Starting from the middle-aged man with scarred faces, no one dared to stand side by side with the middle-aged man with the swordsman's face, he took a step back in a tacit way with the low-level knights to express his respect to the senior commander.
"My name is Tielong, and I am a spearman of the Falcon family. I don't know what the adults are talking about. It was just picked up from the body of a knight on the side of the road before."
Zhao Huqi heard the middle-aged man's name on the horse, and his eyebrows frowned. There was no name Iron Dragon among the rich families of the empire. It seemed that this Silver Knight was not willing to reveal his true identity.
"Spikeman Iron Dragon, I don't care whether this thing is picked up by you or yours. I just want to know if you can ride a horse?"
Now the northern part of the empire was in chaos by the Kazakhs. It was not uncommon for a senior Silver Knight to run to his territory to take refuge. Zhao Hu was not in the mood to know the intentions of the Silver Knight, and said seriously to the middle-aged man.
"meeting!"
The spearman Tielong answered very simply. He turned over and rode the war horse around him that had been prepared. His familiar posture and the state of unity of the human and horse that was subconsciously revealed, he was obviously an old rider.
"Okay, very good. I don't care what the reason you knights join my army. I only know that my enemy is Kazakhs. I will lead you to drive out the Kazakhs who burned your territory and killed your loved ones, so that the swords in your hands have a chance to wash away the shame you have suffered!"
Zhao Hu tied the war horse under his crotch and took the falcon battle flag with the Falcon Family mark from the flag-holder beside him and said, "Set out, before sunset today, we will cross the entire Satdo County to the central tower area. We will use the sword in our hands to teach the arrogant Kazakhs a lesson and let them see what the bravery of our Roman Empire warriors are."
After passing through the unobstructed Panqu Mountain Road of Sodalai hills, the hill scene in front suddenly changed. The dense dark green vegetation on both sides of the mountain road was replaced by dry brown loess slopes. The humid feeling in the south suddenly became hot.
The loess in the sky were spinning in the dry dust. The dry air flow from the northern ocean, like the invading Kazakhs, scraped the dry yellow sand from the loess in the western desert of the Kazakh grasslands to the Sodalai hills in the middle of the empire. The Kazakhs who came with the yellow sand claimed that this was the gift given to the Kazakh warriors by the mother of the earth.
The yellow dust particles that rushed towards him only poured into the gaps in Zhao Hu's clothes. Zhao Hu coughed, his fat face shaved and burst into tears, and his fat mouth spit out sand, his dusty face was so embarrassed. If he hadn't been like the northern cavalry who claimed to be a knight in front of him, he had only two eyes left with his head with linen clothes on his body, the fat man would have been falling off his horse.
"Huhu, I'm almost suffocating!"
Zhao Hu bent on the horse's back with pain and exhaled heavily. He occasionally spitted sand from the inside and out like a small fish spitting bubbles. He ran all the way just now, making Zhao Hu, who was only walking his horse outside his castle, almost breathing his back. The large amount of yellow sand poured in through the gaps in his clothes made Zhao Hu's already fat body look even more swollen.
"What's going on? Why did they stop before? They don't know if they're in a hurry now!"
Fortunately, the dusty area was not big this time. After running for more than an hour, I finally saw the yellow and green ground in front. Before Zhao Hu could finish it, he found that the galloping horse team in front suddenly stopped.
"Sir, there is a checkpoint for the local lord in front of it."
Mengda next to him was gasping for breath, pointing his finger at the entrance of the trade road in front and responding, his face pale like a piece of white paper. Mengda, who was born as a mountain hunter, was not much better than fat people. If it weren't for his agility, Mengda would have been almost shocked by the running horse under his crotch.
"Sir, this should be the tax card set up by the local lords of Satterdo County on the business road. We need to pay taxes to pass."
