Chapter 612

The shepherd frides came faster than victor expected. The iron wall Knights of Dodo Kingdom arrived in the afternoon. When the sun set, the shepherd rode on a horned wolf and led more than a dozen clergy guards to the periphery of fahland sentry camp. Victor did not even have time to discuss the details of cooperation with his two Golden Knights of dodo.

If someone can save the lives of you and your subordinates, you'd better respect him and be close to each other as much as possible. Priests are a group of people who can save high-ranking knights.

Four Highnesses and more than a dozen silver Knights all went to the gate of the camp to meet the legendary priest Lord friedes, one of the three chief priests of the Privy Council.

Victor and Flinders met for the first time, but they were familiar with each other.

He is the oldest of the three shepherds. He is 94 years old. His father is a paladin of the testier family and his mother is a high-ranking female priest of the krudar family. Like his mother, felides served the Lord of glory since childhood, gave up the family name of the paladin and became a devout shepherd. As a senior knight and legendary priest, Flemish can live at least over 120 years old. He spends most of his time in the sassanne diocese. Even when he becomes a shepherd, he rarely returns to the Privy Council. He knew the situation of the Sassanian Empire very well. He had been in charge of the educational administration of the Sassanian diocese for 46 years. He was known for his impartiality, strictness and inhumanity, and treated the eastern, central and western parts of the Sassanian Empire equally.

You know, in recent hundreds of years, it is almost normal for the church's relief materials to tilt to the Sassanian Empire, especially the eastern Royal political group controlled by the paladin family. With the strong support of the church, the shining knights and Frederick royal family not only built a perfect Eastern defense line, but also developed 100000 elite cavalry. The elite cavalry of the Lords in the middle and west of sassanne is less than half of them.

Fledes changed this situation. During his tenure as the shepherd, the balelius family in the west of sassanne successfully expanded 9000 elite cavalry, including lock armor, endothelial armor, helmet, boots, spear, shield, machete, throwing gun and crossbow, which is no different from the Royal Guard cavalry of Frederick.

Everybody said, Hussein The Duke of Barcelona caught up with a good time.

Flemish's just and serious style bridged the political division within the Sassanian empire. The Duke of bacelius and the Emperor Frederick were finally able to put aside their differences and join hands against the great Centaur Khan. The chief priest of Flemish deserves great credit. His prestige among the Lords of the Sassanian Empire has surpassed that of Emperor Frederick and the Duke of balelius. The documents signed by the Sassanian royal family are a dead letter in the west of the Empire. The Duke of balelius will respond to the handwritten letters of friedes.

There is no doubt that the patriarch of frides is the most influential real power figure in the sassanne empire.

Victor collected intelligence and rumors from many aspects. According to the analysis, the chief frides was principled, had a strong desire for control, was serious and old-fashioned, and did things vigorously. His eldest son and eldest daughter died in battle. He did not use his power to seek vitality for them.

Playing with such characters, Victor is fully prepared, including how to deal with his criticism. However, the real frides patriarch overturned his impression.

After the ceremony, the silver haired and tall old shepherd took the initiative to pat Victor's shoulder armor to show affection, and said with a loud smile: "My highness prince Randall, your Highness Princess Auguste, you have arrived in the kingdom of Shah in 8 days ahead of my expectation. On behalf of the suffering believers, I would like to express my thanks to the vanguard reinforcements of the kingdom of gon Beth. May the glory of our Lord shine on your two highness forever."

There is something wrong with this painting style... Victor whispered in his heart, and said at the same time with Roland and and dodo's two Highnesses: "praise the Supreme Lord of glory."

Roland explained very casually, "we got lost on the prairie, otherwise, we could be a little faster."

The two Golden Knights of the iron wall knights, Dietrich and dunkru, were embarrassed at once. They agreed to unite to put pressure on Flemish and force him to open the route of exiles to the south, so as to keep the tenant system and the development point of Dodo kingdom in the ghost forest. To deal with Flemish's tough negotiator, we can only adopt a tougher negotiation strategy, simple That is to say, it doesn't explain the changes of the vanguard reinforcements. Anyway, his highness Randall takes the lead. They are not as big as the sun elves. Just follow behind and show a firm attitude.

Roland said "lost", explaining why the gangbis vanguard reinforcements did not appear in the scheduled location of Tongji city. Should Dietrich and dunkru also explain why the iron wall Knights suddenly moved south to Lord fahland?

How do you explain that? Do you want to be so cheating?

Fortunately, the shepherd frides didn't ask, just nodded, glanced at both sides of the camp gate, frowned and asked, "did you find an ogre wandering tribe nearby?"

There stood six spears with ogre heads. The heads were of different sizes. They were the same ugly and stupid. Some giggled, some were angry, some were confused, and some were at a loss. They looked terrible and gloomy under the light of the torch.

Victor's expression became dignified, nodded and said, "Lord friedes, please follow me."

He led the crowd to an open space behind the camp. The newly turned soil, about 200 square meters in size, was a joint burial pit.

No one spoke, the pine torch crackled and burned, and the light and shadow swayed, adding a solemn and heavy atmosphere. Flinders looked cold, walked around the edge of the burial pit, and asked in a deep voice, "did your highness see it?"

Victor and Roland nodded in silence.

Three days ago, the fierce warrior red wolf led a pair of scouts to track the traces left by the goblins transporting food. They found the ogre's nest in the fagon forest in the North led by Lord fahland. They didn't dare to make an in-depth investigation, but just delimited an approximate area on the periphery.

The tendons of Ogres are full of toughness and can be used as the crossbow strings of military heavy crossbows. In particular, the large tendons of their spine can be used to make the bowstrings of large crossbows. No matter how superb the treatment technology of this biomass material is, it also has service life limitations. Of course, the more fresh tendons, the better. Moreover, the gangbis vanguard reinforcements urgently need the food supplies collected by the ogres.

Victor and Roland excitedly led three great knights and 200 elite to raid the ogre's nest in fagon forest. This ogre tribe has only two adult male ogre barbarians, two females and one cub. Their leader is not a violent ogre of the silver class. They control dozens of jackals and hundreds of goblins and gopher slaves. Victor and Roland shot in person. There was no suspense in the whole battle. The ogre didn't even have a chance to escape, so they were all killed.

Two silver Knights lead people to hunt down the escaped jackals and bandits. Elite soldiers eliminate goblins and dog headed men, and the rest count the spoils. Including hundreds of tons of green wheat, dozens of tons of pickled meat, hundreds of barrels of beans and dried vegetables, as well as the air dried meat specially made by the ogre.

Like goblins, ogres have the habit of storing food. They will first eat their prey, remove their heads and internal organs, smear the rest with grass juice and soil, hang it up and dry it, and then eat it slowly until there is a lack of food. In the ogre's nest in fagon forest, there are dried cattle, sheep, wild boars, even bear monsters, goblins and jackals, as well as human bodies.

The remains of more than 200 men, women and children were made into dried meat by ogres and hung in the woods. The tragic scene had a great impact on the hearts of the soldiers of the gangbis vanguard army.

The expression on each face is like a frozen rock, and the fire of anger and hatred shines in his eyes. Flinders looked at the chaplain and asked, "how many people died?"

"One hundred and fourteen." Said the battle priest, wearing a lock armor and a bloody hammer hanging from his waist.

"Has a requiem ceremony been held?"

"Yes, my Lord."

"May their souls be at peace in the kingdom of the LORD God."

Flemish and his clerical guards painted a false emblem on their chest and recited it in a low voice. "Did any soldiers die or get hurt?" he asked

The battle priest replied, "one was seriously injured, six were slightly injured, and no one died. The wounded soldiers were treated by magic. The slightly injured have recovered, and the seriously wounded need to rest for ten days to recover."

"You did a good job." The shepherd frides nodded, affirmed the merit of the combat priest, leaned over his body and said to victor, "let's talk inside."

"Sir, please." Victor raised his hand and walked into the sentry camp side by side with the shepherd.

The camp has been renovated. The materials seized from the cannibals are neatly stacked on the open space. The small space suddenly appears crowded and cramped. Thousands of Gambis vanguard soldiers and more than 300 elite Knights of iron wall can only camp outside.

Shepherd frides and his four Highnesses sat around the campfire in the middle of the camp. The high-ranking Knights of the two kingdoms left the camp very consciously to give them room for secret conversation.

The legendary priest stared at the campfire for a few seconds and said, "ogres are omnivorous monsters. There are not many of them in the northern wilderness. Like those large orcs, ogres rarely invade human gathering points, but once they invade human territory, humans are also their prey. Other large orcs, medium orcs and small Orcs will hunt humans."

Duke Dietrich of the kingdom of Dodo said: "ogres are rarely seen in the kingdom of dodo. A few days ago, we destroyed an orc tribe gathered by violent ogres in the eastern border of Sasan. We also saw the same scene. About 200 people were made food by them."

He touched his shiny bald head and said with emotion: "frankly, the iron wall Knights saw that sad scene for the first time... We never want this to happen in any kingdom."

Flinders nodded and said: "There are relevant records in the historical documents collected by the church monastery, but I have only recently witnessed the situation that monsters make humans dry meat... Therefore, we can't accuse ordinary people of cowardice and cowardice, and we can understand that every time a comprehensive Orc war breaks out, the Lords and church clergy evacuate the unarmed people to a safer area... Ordinary people are afraid of animals Human monsters are like tender meat dipped in honey, which can attract more monsters to join the war against humans. In fact, in this Orc war, many Orc tribes who are not Centaur slaves also sneaked into the eastern defense line to plunder materials, prey on humans and gather vassal slaves. "

"Lord fahland is located in the south central border of the Sassanian Empire, more than 200 kilometers away from the eastern defense line. In the past few decades, I have never received an urgent notice from Lord fahland about the ogre invasion. But this time, I can be sure that the ogres you killed did not come from the eastern defense line. They should be ogre vagrants from the boulder mountains."

"Lord fahland leads 4469 people in the territory. If their army is still in the territory, these ogres will never dare to invade." Flinders picked up a dying dry firewood and threw it into the campfire. He continued: "The Lord lady found the trail of the ogre invaders and immediately ordered the people to give up their farms and villages and take refuge in Tongji city and Lord's Castle respectively. There was no problem with her response. If the people did not withdraw, it would only attract more monsters... The so-called strong walls and clear fields, including ordinary people."

Roland, sitting on the stump stool, held his knees, blinked and asked, "the dried meat we found in the fagon forest is not the people led by Lord Helan illegally, but the tenant refugees led by Sasan to flee West?"

Flemish nodded, "yes. But I won't count how many tenants died now and in the future. I just want to make it clear that the refugees who fled West led the ogre to the fagon forest and Lord fahland."

Victor broke a piece of wood and threw it into the campfire. He asked sideways, "Your Excellency friedes doesn't count the number of tenants killed. He still has confidence in the tenant system."

Flinders looked at the campfire for a moment, nodded and said: "Your Highness should be able to see that I am the most active promoter of the tenant system. Lord Sasan and I took the lead in witnessing the advantages of the tenant system... We implemented the tenant system and migrated hundreds of thousands of refugees. In only three years, we built three new towns, 22 castles, 48 camps, more than 100 sentry camps, and opened up a large number of farmland and pastures In three years, we will no longer need the rear to provide food and achieve self-sufficiency. The work enthusiasm and efficiency of tenants are far more than those of migrant workers. Without the tenant system, the development collar will definitely not reach its present scale. "

"... unfortunately, the full-scale Orc war broke out too suddenly..."

The shepherd shook his head and sighed: "give us another two and a half years, we can improve the leading defense line, there are no loopholes, and the situation will not become so bad."

"I still have confidence in the tenant system, but it takes time to regroup." Reverend Flinders nodded firmly.

Victor was silent for two seconds and nodded: "The trend of the times is unstoppable. Since the birth of the new farming and animal husbandry system, the tenant system will not completely die out. I am sure that this war and even future wars will not defeat a new system in line with the trend of the times. However, the progress of the times is full of twists and turns, waves advance, and even carriages reverse. It originates from the retrogression of thought, and panic, rumors and lack of confidence will disappear Let the tenant system stagnate. When it advances again, maybe a hundred years later, or a few hundred years later... "

He looked around, his dark golden eyes flashed across everyone's face, also caught everyone's eyes, outlined a beaming smile at the corners of his mouth, and said, "that's the business of our future generations. What does it have to do with us?"

"If today's royal highness and priests can't create a new era, it's nothing..." Victor said in a deep voice, "be afraid, our future generations have no future!"

"The foresters and the mountain dwarves moved westward to endless forests; the ants invaded the human kingdom; the barbarians went down the mountain... All kinds of unusual events heralded a certain danger... The main purpose of our tenant system is to expand the strength of the human kingdom and open up the defense depth of the human kingdom in the shortest time... And this massive Centaur invasion just interrupted the war of the kingdoms This has dealt a serious blow to the people's confidence in the tenant system. "

"Well, I'll take it as a coincidence!" Victor looked at Flemish, nodded and said: "Dear shepherd, like you, I don't recognize the identity of the tenants of the victims. The real tenants should be their next generation, young people who have received basic education in the general school jointly organized by the church and the Lord. The first real tenant group appeared ten years later, but this inexplicable coincidence will slow down the emergence of the tenant group."

Duke dunkru Friedrich, with golden hair and amber eyes, said: "I fully agree with his highness Randall that we are buying time for the future of the human country, and this full-scale Centaur invasion actually destroys our deployment and makes the future of the human country full of uncertainty."

Flemish nodded secretly. People's wisdom precipitated with age, and people's horizons widened with the promotion of status. Even a pig will become smart after sitting in the Lord's seat for a long time. Flemish sees many smart lords, but no matter how smart pigs are, they are equally ordinary in the face of system and reality. Some people are different, they are Victor is a natural leader. He grew up in adversity. No matter what setbacks he encountered, he never forgot to take the initiative. The purple sugarcane that no one wanted was turned into valuable strategic materials by him; he used the fast bird, which is regarded as a delicacy and a pest, to form the fast bird light cavalry that the great lord admired; he pioneered in Randall, built water conservancy and developed new industries Farming and animal husbandry; he mistakenly killed Austin Buryat, the great Knight of the kingdom of Gambis, and turned the wild willow city of Buryat into a free trade collar; he established the tenant system, cooperated with the church to set up general schools, and developed thousands of mercenaries... Those smart lords are like pigs compared with him.

People attribute his highness Randall's success to the rare wisdom and talent of extraordinary people, but friedes believes that his political achievements stem from his desire for initiative and never yield to reality and system, but his practice is too clever to make people unconsciously ignore his aggressiveness.

Victor united with the Golden Knight of Dodo kingdom to put pressure on himself. Fledes is not surprised. If Victor honestly led the team into the eastern defense line, he would be surprised and suspicious.

Flemish didn't feel offended, all of which was expected.

That's what a top extraordinary like his highness Randall should do

The old shepherd waved his hand and said bluntly, "we don't waste any more time. Your highness led me here. What do you want?"
