GOR Chapter 325 Stormy Men
"Eh? This is the Paladin Badge of the Shrines. How did you get your hands on something like this? " Jojo looked at the item in Du Wei's hand and observed the nervous expression on Du Wei's face. She could not help but ask. "The Paladin Badge is something that cannot be obtained by outsiders! You … … this item of yours is most likely a fake! You forged the badge of the Holy Knight, could it be that you want to deal with the Temple … Ah, maybe you stole it! "
Du Wei smiled bitterly. "This thing … … he he, it really is' mine '!"
Jojo did not believe him. She shook her head and said. "You cannot fool me. This Paladin Badge is imprinted with holy power. Additionally, the back of each badge has the owner's name engraved on it. That is something that has been blessed with holy power. Even a magician would not be able to forge it. Since you said that this badge is yours, then turn it over and show it to me. "
Du Wei froze for a moment. The back … … the back of the badge is engraved with Aragon's name. If he were to show it to this woman, would her eyes not pop out of their sockets?
Du Wei was in a dilemma when Jojo sneered and suddenly snatched it away. Jojo was a high-level Warrior after all. She was a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts. Du Wei was just an ordinary magician. How could he snatch it away from her?
After snatching the badge, Jojo turned it over to have a look. When she saw the back of the badge, she suddenly covered her mouth. "Ah!" She then turned to look at Du Wei. There was an indescribable expression on her face.
Du Wei sighed. He did not know how to explain it. Jojo, on the other hand, had a strange expression on her face. "This, is this really yours? I can see that this badge is not forged … … but, but how could the Shrines give you this badge? Could it be that you have already taken refuge with the Shrines? "
Du Wei was also startled. He took the badge from Jojo's hand and looked at the back. His expression couldn't help but become strange.
The pattern on the back was no longer "Aragon - Roland"! A few simple and unadorned patterns finally formed a brand new name!
"Du Wei – Rudolph – Rollin"
Du Wei opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and forced a smile. "Look, I told you that it's mine, but you didn't believe me."
He hurriedly kept the badge in his bosom.
Jojo narrowed her eyes: "I'm not suspecting that you've really taken refuge with the Shrines, but you don't have much respect for the Goddess. Even if everyone in this world believes in God, you won't be new. I know you very well about this. "
After saying that, Jojo's face suddenly revealed a rare gentle smile. That was especially true when she said the words' I know you '. When she said those words, she felt as though her heart was pounding. Yet, there was also a faint trace of sweetness.
She quickly realized that there was something wrong with her expression. She quickly coughed and said in a low voice: "However, you have obtained this badge of the Shrines. Could it be that you want to take advantage of the Shrines in the future? I just want to remind you, those bunch of swindlers are not to be trifled with. "
Du Wei gave a hollow laugh … … this was not easy to explain. It would be a long story.
Humph, what Aragon, what Du Wei 1234 … … it might sound complicated, but if you really want to explain it, it would be simple.
It was like a person playing an online game. First, he registered an 'Aragon' account. After leveling up to level 100, he failed to fight against the ultimate BOSS, the Goddess of Light. Then, he found that he was going in the wrong direction. He could only register a new 'Du Wei 1' account. Next, he transferred all his equipment, game coins, experience points and so on to this new account. Once again, he leveled up to level 100 to challenge the BOSS. Unfortunately, he failed again. In the end, he had no choice but to create a new 'Du Wei 2' account. Once again, he transferred all his equipment, experience points and so on. Then, he began a new journey to fight the BOSS …
Things were as simple as that!
However … … who could Du Wei tell these things to?
These troubles, these burdens, who could Du Wei talk to? Who could understand his words?
•
Du Wei's group moved toward the Imperial Capital. In the evening, they arrived at a small town. According to Du Wei's instructions, the group was to rest for the night. This move immediately received the unanimous support of the accompanying cavalrymen.
Looking at these lazy local garrison troops, Du Wei couldn't help but sigh.
He had seen the elite Northwest Army under Rugaard in the Northwest. They were neat, well-trained, and disciplined. They were truly the best of the best!
Not to mention the grassland cavalry. Their fighting strength was amazing. Coupled with their excellent horsemanship and barbaric nature, they were the strongest cavalry in the world!
But the quality of these local garrison troops of the Empire … …
They had only been following Du Wei's carriage for two days. Moreover, because Rodriguez and Jojo wanted to take care of Du Wei's recovery, they deliberately slowed down their speed. But these old soldiers … … Looking at them, after only riding for half a day, each and every one of them already looked tired, their waist and legs were aching, and they were yawning and complaining. If it weren't for the military order and their respect for Duwei, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.
If this kind of trashy soldier was under Longbottom, he would have kicked him out of the camp long ago.
Although the army of the Empire had a spring drill every year, which was a good tradition that had been maintained for thousands of years, and although a large amount of military expenditure was wasted, the goal was to maintain the full combat effectiveness of the army. However, after all, the system was dead while people were alive. In some places, the annual Spring Performance was perfunctory. Du-Wei also understood this kind of situation where the upper management hid the information from the lower management.
Moreover, at the end of the day, even the spring drill could be strictly enforced, but it was only held once a year. The combat effectiveness of the army was not something that could be solved by the annual spring drill.
Some of the cavalrymen even took off their armor on their own ….. Even Rodriguez shook his head when he saw this scene.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly at Du Wei: "These cavalrymen are really too useless. Although this trip is only to escort you and not an official military operation, they still dared to take off their armor without orders. This is already a violation of military regulations."
Du Wei shook his head: "The Empire has been around for thousands of years, and the continent was unified. Looking at it from afar, there are no big opponents in this world. There hasn't been any large scale wars either. But now ….. In addition to the Northwestern Legion, the Northern Tempest Legion, the Imperial City Guards, and the Southern Marsh Legion, the rest of the garrison forces have long been abandoned. Some of them are even worse than the private armies raised by the nobles. In fact, this is not to be blamed ….. After not fighting for so long, it would be a miracle if the army has any combat effectiveness! A truly strong army is not formed by training, but by fighting ….. Alas, look at the quality of the Northwestern Legion, then look at the 20,000 cavalrymen that retreated from the grasslands. Although it's only 20,000, each one of them is so sturdy! "
Speaking up to here, Du Wei shook his head again and again.
He was too lazy to care about these cavalrymen. Instead, the officers of these cavalrymen came over to flatter him. They prepared the best room and ordered the innkeeper to bring good food and wine. If it wasn't for Du Wei being afraid of trouble, perhaps even the garrison officer of this small town would have been called over.
Du Wei also wasn't in the mood to enjoy any good food or wine. After eating a little, he used the excuse of being tired and went to rest. As soon as he left, the cavalrymen below were immediately overjoyed. For a moment, they drank and ate big bowls of wine and big chunks of meat.
Rodriguez sneered again and again ….. During the march, these cavalrymen drank as they pleased until they were dead drunk! If they were under the command of the Duke of the Tulip Family, they would've already been dragged out and beheaded! But these guys seem to be accustomed to it. Even the officer in charge was drinking until his eyes were red. Looking at these people, I'm afraid they can't wait to find a few more gigolos to accompany them.
Rodriguez is a standard Knight, so he couldn't bear to see this kind of scene. After a while, he simply followed Du Wei out.
In the evening, Du Wei was in his room, holding the badge in his hand. Suddenly, he heard the sound of hooves coming from outside the inn.
The sound of hooves came from afar, but it sounded extremely orderly. Even in the midst of galloping, the formation was not disorderly! And when they reached the door, the sound of hooves came to a stop, but there wasn't a single neigh! Obviously, these people's horsemanship is excellent, and they have excellent control over their horses!
"There is an army of this quality within the Empire's borders?" Du Wei was curious. He could not help but push open the door and walk out.
In the lobby of the inn, he saw more than 20 cavalrymen parked outside the door. These cavalrymen were all wearing bright armour with leather robes on the inside. On their horses were crossbows that only the main army could equip. On the crossbows was a snow-white feather. Behind each of the cavalrymen was a grey cloak.
Then, he heard a deep and dignified voice shout out: "Everyone dismount and tidy up your equipment. We will be eating here! Swords and bows are not to leave your side! In addition … … three of you are to stay behind to take care of the warhorses. You are not to leave the horses for even half a step! "
After he finished speaking, the man jumped down from his horse. Only then did the 20 cavalrymen behind him dare to dismount. These people's movements were neat and sturdy. Even when they walked into the hall, the sound of their leather boots sounded so energetic!
The cavalrymen behind coldly refused the inn's attendant's offer to lead the horses. Instead, they automatically separated out three men to lead the way to the stables at the back.
"During the march, the horses are not to be taken care of by idle people! This is a military rule! In a while, whatever fodder the horses eat, whatever water they drink, they must all go through our hands! "
After the leader of the cavalrymen entered the lobby, he was wearing a silver armour which made his originally tall and sturdy body appear even more upright. Unlike the subordinates behind him, the cloak he wore was a bright red colour. However, it was stained with dust from the journey – even so, he appeared even more sturdy than the garrison soldiers in the lobby!
This person walked in with large strides. When he saw the drunken scene inside, his tiger-like eyes could not help but reveal a deep disdain. There was even a faint trace of anger. It seemed as though he was about to say something, but he clenched his teeth and sneered. He ignored the group of drunken fellows inside and directly walked to a corner and sat down. As for the cavalrymen behind him, they maintained a vigilant posture. When they came to the side of the leader, they faintly formed a defensive formation.
When the drunken garrison soldiers at the side saw these men enter, they immediately quieted down. Although they had drunk a lot of wine, they were after all still wearing the Empire's military uniform!
Among the cavalrymen, the leader who wore a red cloak appeared to be around 30 to 40 years old. His face was firm and resolute. Although he appeared slightly tired at the moment, it did not diminish his might in the slightest. Furthermore … the insignia on the chest of his armor clearly indicated his identity. He was a true general!!
Moreover, the cavalrymen behind him wore grey cloaks, silver armour, white feathers on their helmets … … these characteristics were immediately recognized. These cavalrymen were one of the Empire's main battle legions, the Tempest Legion stationed at the southern end of the Northern Frozen Forest!
The owner of this hotel was also a quick-witted person. He quickly ran over but was stopped by two cavalrymen of the Tempest Legion from afar. He did not dare to approach and could only respectfully ask: "Esteemed guests, may I ask what you need?"
"Food, clean and fast. And water! Then I filled the skins of my men with water. Everything must be fast. We still have to hurry. "
The owner smiled and said: "Sir, we have a famous local wine here. Do you want … …"
The General suddenly glared and snorted heavily. This snort seemed to carry a deep power. The owner could not help but feel his legs go soft and almost fell down. The General sneered and said: "Drinking wine on the march is a capital offense!"
His words were said very loudly. When the garrison soldiers at the side heard this, many of them showed a disapproving expression. However, when they saw that the other party was a General, no one dared to say anything. For a moment, the lobby became quiet.
After a while, the leading officer of the garrison soldiers reluctantly tidied up his appearance. He coughed twice and obediently came over to salute. The General glanced at him and saw that the officer's face was red from drinking and his eyes were cold. He only returned the salute indifferently and ignored him.
"Sir General, we are from XX City's XX garrison camp. I am the leader of the 2nd rank cavalry. It's our honor to meet a general of the empire here! "
The general sneered, "You call yourselves soldiers? If you were under my command, I would have already beheaded you! Quickly disappear from my sight. I have important matters to attend to. I can't be bothered to bicker with you. Otherwise … … Hmph. "
The officer's body trembled and he hurriedly excused himself. However, the garrison cavalry all had unhappy expressions. Of course, they wouldn't be able to drink the wine. Half of them ran out of the hall with their tails between their legs. There were also some who were unwilling to give up. They took their wine jugs and left. It seemed like they were going back to their rooms to continue drinking.
After the lobby quieted down, the General suddenly sighed: "Such military quality … … Alas, when we encounter danger, how can we fight!"
A soldier next to him seemed to be his trusted aide. He comforted in a low voice: "General, it's not like the Empire doesn't have a strong army. The Imperial City Guards are very good. There is also the Empire's navy … …"
"Navy!" When the General heard this, he could not help but smile bitterly: "No matter how powerful the warships are, can they sail on land? This time … … Alas, let's not talk about it. Everyone, sit down and eat. After we finish eating and drinking, let's hurry on the road! "
Only after he gave the order did the cavalrymen who were standing around dare to sit down. Everyone sat in silence. After the food was served, some of them even checked it. Then, one by one, they wolfed down the food. However, no one said a word.
In a moment, they finished eating and drinking. The General stood up. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a laugh from above.
"Ah … … If I remember correctly, this is General Andre of the Tempest Legion!"
Then, he saw a young man in luxurious clothes coming down the stairs. When General Andre heard this, he immediately turned around and looked deeply at the young man.
This young man was naturally Du Wei. Du Wei smiled: "General Andre, have you forgotten? I am Du Wei. The original Du Wei - Rollin, now Du Wei - Rudolph. When I left the Frozen Forest, you and Krak Mage brought people to look for me. We even walked together for a few days. "
General Andre thought for a moment and immediately remembered. He quickly took two steps forward, slightly bowed and gave a military salute: "It is Your Excellency the Duke of the Tulip Family! Tempest Legion General Andre greets the Duke of the Tulip Family! "
Du Wei walked down and came to Andre's table. He pulled him to sit down. Andre hesitated for a moment and had to sit down patiently.
"General Andre, why are you not in the north? Why are you here? I remember the Empire's military law. Soldiers are not allowed to leave their garrison area without permission. Could it be that you have some urgent matters to attend to in the south? "
When Du Wei asked, General Andre's face became dignified. He hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Your Excellency the Duke, I won't hide it from you … … The north is indeed in chaos. This time, I was ordered by our Legion Commander General Rostock to return to the Imperial Capital to report the situation to the military high command. At the same time … … "
He smiled bitterly: "At the same time, I have an audience with His Highness the Prince Regent to request … … reinforcements!"
