Overgod Ascension - 553. Chapter 553
When the sun climbed into the air and the warm sunshine fell, this wave of fifty people finally set off in a mess.
“The little guy did a good job!”
Thakur rides on the horse, watching the movements of the entire team from time to time.
When I saw that the twenty people allocated to William began to reluctantly form a team and followed behind the professional soldiers, I nodded in satisfaction.
“Keep up with me, be careful not to fall behind, pay attention to the placement of weapons, and don’t hurt yourself and others!”
For Wu Ming, this point of organization and management is naturally a piece of cake.
Although it was only a militia and a temporary squad, after becoming the captain, he finally had a little power and a chance to perform.
Wu Ming knew very well that, with his skills today and the strength he showed, after returning, he was recommended by the Thakur Knight to become a guard serving the baron, and he became a small town in Niah The middle level is not difficult.
But what he asked for was more than this?
The weather is getting colder, and after the autumn harvest, it will be close to winter. This is a dangerous season!
The leaders with towns and fireplaces are okay, but the wild people and wild people living in the wasteland will face the double blow of cold and hunger.
In order to store enough food, they often launch crazy attacks, looting villages and even towns.
Except for the lord’s castle, there are almost no buildings that they dare not attack.
Therefore, at this time, many lords will unanimously choose to expedition to the wilderness to wipe out the unsafe factors around their villages and towns.
The ridges outside the town are very flat, and occasionally you can see farmers who lower their heads and plow. The cool breeze blows, with the fragrance of grass stems and soil.
It is a pity that such a beautiful picture is gone forever after another half an hour.
The surroundings became more and more desolate, and even some weeds grew on the road. Unknown beasts roared occasionally, and the expressions of the whole team immediately lost their former ease, but with tension, they clenched their weapons.
“Outside the villages and towns, there is an unknown world of darkness and wildness…”
Wu Ming watched this scene, but sighed secretly.
Between the village and the wilderness, there seems to be an invisible boundary, dividing two different worlds.
Ignorance and wildness, civilization and civilisation, even survival and death!
In this era, going on the road alone often means suicide! Many times, some farmers have never walked out of their small towns in their entire lives.
The bandits, beasts, and wild people on the road are enough to discourage any adventurer.
Of course, this place is relatively close to a civilized stronghold, and Wu Ming’s group has a total of fifty people, all of whom are brawny with weapons, and ordinary thieves don’t dare to provoke them.
They walked for a day, and when the road disappeared, the order of the Thakur Knight came from the front: “Find a flat place and set up the tent!”
A tent, a must-have for survival in the wild, naturally everyone has prepared, but the soldiers in the small town are all standardized and neatly planned, and Wu Ming feels a little horrible here.
“Boss! I’ll help you!”
Wu Ming was about to put down his cowhide tent, and a tall and thin man next to him immediately stepped forward to please him. He had lost a few teeth, his speech was a little leaky, and the swelling on half of his face remained unresolved.
“Henry Broken Tooth, I’ll leave it to you!”
Wu Ming naturally agreed to it all, and watched the newly-acquired little brother Pidianpidian busy.
After being knocked down by Wu Ming and seeing him defeating all opponents one-on-one, this guy named Henry completely surrendered and became Wu Ming’s loyal dog, and also obtained a “broken tooth” nickname.
Wu Ming’s management method is simple and rude. He divided the team into four waves of five people each, and appointed several team leaders.
As for the candidates, naturally I found Joey, Andrew, and this Henry-don’t look at him being brought down by Wu Ming, but he is also one of the best in this wave of people, and he is good at using short guns.
There were four others, naturally following Wu Ming himself.
This kind of division is the simple assortment system in the ancient world of Xianwu, but it is also quite effective.
After the tent was set up, piles of bonfires rose up. Most of the guys took out the bread and bake them on the fire, smelling the scent of the soup pot, and constantly swallowing.
As the captain, Wu Ming naturally has preferential treatment. In front of him is a hare that Henry hit casually.
The bright yellow flame licked the barbecue happily, the grease dripped, making a sizzling noise.
Wu Ming watched silently, and suddenly took out a small pocket from his arms, sprinkled a little fine white salt on it, and the meat flavor suddenly became more intense…
“William…you are the best snow salt!”
Joey came over, sat down next to Wu Ming, staring at his salt bag, his eyes straightened: “I can guarantee that just this small bag of refined salt can be sold for five silver talons in the city lord’s mansion!”
“A strong fighter needs a strong body!”
Wu Ming smiled slightly, and when it was baked, he tore a rabbit leg to Joey.
“Woo…”
Joey took a hard bite. Although there were no other seasonings, the pure salt and the aroma of the barbecue made him want to stop. After taking a hard bite, he was scalded again. The tongue, that air-conditioned gesture, made people want to laugh when I saw it.
Wu Ming ate his share, but he was a bit regretful.
Of course he also wants to make some other condiments, but in this world, spices and seasonings seem to be extremely precious things. Not only are they expensive, they are often exclusive to the nobles, and there is no way to buy them.
It’s like a certain kind of black pepper. He heard Aunt Luoya say that in the Howling Castle, this precious spice was sold directly at a sky-high price, and one grain was equivalent to a Jindelong!
After hearing the news, and did not find any wild substitutes, he had to give up completely.
After eating and drinking, Joey wiped his mouth and suddenly said: “Boss, be careful,’Blonde’ seems to have some opinions on you!”
“Blond? Arthur?”
This person is not this temporary team, but a member of the city lord’s guards, and a small captain in charge of ten people.
“Why is he doing this?”
Wu Ming was a little confused, and inexplicable.
“Who knows…”
Joey shrugged his shoulders. Sometimes, jealousy was like a seed of thorns, unconsciously planted in the bottom of his heart, slowly taking root and germinating, without even being aware of it.
“Okay, I see, thank you for your reminder!”
Naturally, Wu Ming would not immediately believe Joey. Although he came here to confide in the news, he was kind of flattering, but who can guarantee that he didn’t hide other thoughts?
Or to say… deliberately teasing?
Not only him, even Henry, and even Andrew with an honest face, Wu Ming never really felt relieved.
“Captain William!”
While he was thinking silently, in the camp opposite, a soldier had already walked over.
He wears a half-length armor, has golden curly hair, and a bright smile on his face. He is the most standard Westerner’s face, and it gives people a sunny feeling like a big boy next door.
“Arthur!”
Wu Ming recognized the guard squad leader at a glance, and smiled: “Please call me William directly!”
“Well, William!”
Arthur said, “Although Knight Thakur intends to let you watch the night, I still come to ask, is there anything I can help?”
“Since Lord Knight meant it, I naturally resolutely execute it!”
Wu Ming directly agreed, but after Arthur left, his face was slightly gloomy.
Although Arthur looked like a big boy, with kindness, it was hard to guard against, but his amazing perception was that when he was talking with the other party, he keenly felt a hint of malice.
Combined with Joey’s words, he was already 70% to 80% confident in his heart.
“what is it then?”
Wu Ming bowed his head, silently pondering the possibility: “Conflict of interest? Pure jealousy? Or…under the instigation or instigation of other people?”
However, even if he knew the reason, it was not the time to do it at this time.
With a little doubt, he assigned the night watchman to sit silently under the bonfire, watching other guys fight.
I have to say that the personnel in this group of mercenaries come from various sources, and they are even more incomparable with male jazz soldiers in terms of discipline, but they all have a little ability in other aspects.
It’s like Henry, a good hunter. Although Andrew is old, he is the best in organization and discipline, and he can help correct others.
And there is another guy named Heim, who has learned a little bit of bard’s skills. After everyone is full and full, he pulls up an instrument like an organ and sings softly:
“The sword is born from the fire, shining through the crown of glory…
The dark red stars, passing across the sky, bring a new era…
The giant snake was born from the shadows, and the hero holds a long sword and blows the horn of the battlefield…
Brave boy, hurry up and embark on an adventurous journey, the future is waiting for you to create miracles…”
Wu Ming listened to a few passages, which seemed to be a prophecy or telling a story, because the tune is nice and popular in Niah Town, and it is said that it is a must-have for almost all bards.
“Humans in this world believe that a long time ago, the continent was created by the giant snake, and its blood ruled the entire continent until the emergence of the Dark Age, the giant snake fell into silence, and other creatures began to rise…”
He thought of the legend of this world.
“And when the red ominous and fierce star descends, the giant snake will also wake up from the shadows and chaos, and once again rule the whole world!”
“It’s a pity… I have never felt the slightest trace of the God of Creation from here…”
There are too many legends about bards, most of them are false and made up, Wu Ming doesn’t care much, but is very interested in the description of other races among them.
