Lord Chili. It's my fault. " For Lodge, this kind of verbal sparring was very unnutritious. He didn't want to make them unhappy because he didn't want to lose any face by apologizing to the nobles as a commoner. Therefore, he wanted to end this battle as soon as possible.

What Loki did was no different from what the commoners of this continent would choose to do. "Useless people," Macy said contemptuously.

Eileen was older than Mercy and knew a lot. She knew that to commoners, resistance meant conflict. A conflict between a commoner and a noble meant that his life would be very difficult, and he might even die because of it. Elene said sympathetically, "Actually, you don't have to." The meaning was clear, Irene meant that she could help him.

But what Eileen didn't understand was that Lodge wasn't afraid, he wasn't necessary. If he had to pay a price, Loki would fight back. He would kill without considering the laws of the empire. From what Roche had done to Yali, it was clear that Roche was not a man who feared trouble.

Chili smiled proudly at Loki and said, "You know your place, so let's just forget about it. But I don't like you. You'd better not show up in front of me." Roche bowed to Chili and left without waiting for anyone to speak.

Mercy was in a hurry to say to Irene, "Your sister... Lodge took your sister away. " Eileen said, "It's okay. She and Loki have a good relationship, maybe it's fate. Roche will take care of her. "

After a few more days of this, Loki had graduated from horsemanship. Mercy continued to make things difficult for him, and Loki was always patient. As time passed, the relationship between Irene and Yali became more and more familiar.

Today, Eileen had left Yali in the tent for a female soldier to see. She gathered several of the soldiers of the close guard herself, including Loki and Messi, and said, "Today the Captain is going to the enemy stronghold to investigate. We'll go together as escorts. Apart from Loki, everyone here has a mission like this, so I won't say anything else. When the time comes, Loki, you will follow everyone else and not speak up until you are discovered by the enemy. " With that, Irene led her team to meet up with the captain.

A total of over 20 riders had already left the city. Such an investigation was quite common. It's usually scout work. However, the scout only reported a few simple numbers. Go out and look at the terrain, look at the enemy.

A good general can analyze a lot of things. With more than 20 riders, it was easy to hide in the shadows. There were also 2 warrior battalions. Even if they were discovered by the enemy scouts and patrols, they could still ensure that they left before the enemy reinforcements arrived.

Soon, they approached the enemy stronghold. This stronghold had existed for a long time. The wall had been raised and widened countless times. In the fortress, one could see numerous tents, and on the walls, almost every five steps, a soldier could be found standing guard.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the Guild Leader was suddenly in high spirits. He did not continue to analyze the situation, and instead said to Loki, "Loki, is this the first time you've come? Hehe, don't worry about it. Look at what you can see in this. "You don't have to be afraid to say what you think."

Everyone looked enviously at Luo Qi, clearly sensing that their captain was different from him. Eileen looked at Loki. She wanted him to say something.

Luo Qi looked at the enemy fortress and thought for a while before saying, "The wall is very high and very wide." Messi almost spat on his face, while everyone else couldn't control their laughter.

Luo Qi didn't seem to feel anything was amiss. He seriously said to the captain, "Captain, can I borrow the map to take a look?" Obviously, what Loki said surprised the captain as well, but he still felt that Loki was not normal.

Because Loki had the confidence to be a general. Confidence was essential to a general. It could make your soldiers trust you more. So he handed the map to Loki. Under the contemptuous gazes of others, Loki looked at the map before gesturing and thinking.

After a while, Loki looked up at the fort and said, "For a fortress like this, we have to pay a great price to attack. We may not succeed, but we can see from the close tents that they will not outnumber us." Do you see one thing? They have a lot of soldiers, but they don't have many granaries. I'm sure they bring in provisions every day, and they only have enough for a little more than a day. I just looked at the map.

Loki pointed to a spot on the map and said, "Here, this is it. All we have to do is get around the enemy stronghold, defend this place, and within four or five days we will have the stronghold. The center of the place is wide enough for us to raise troops, and the sides are small enough to be inoffensive. I believe that as long as you have 30 thousand people, it will be enough to defend the flanking armies for a month. They were going to run out of food within two days, and Rubio City might be attacked by the enemy, but only for four days. The army that hadn't eaten in four days had no fighting strength, so they could only choose to retreat back to the stronghold. At this point, if we give them three or four more wagons of food, the stronghold will belong to us. "

The captain impatiently asked, "Why are you delivering the food?"

Loki smiled and replied, "A team of 20 to 300 thousand, with 3 to 4 cars, there won't be enough food. Besides, they hadn't eaten for days, and people were terrible when they fought for food. They would certainly be fighting amongst themselves, killing each other. For such troops, all we have to do is to surrender and we will be able to get food, and victory will no longer be a problem. "

It was very quiet, and the Captain thought it would be nice if Loki could tell if the enemy would attack or not. But the Regiment Commander did not expect Loki to make such a shocking judgement. This was something he did not think of himself. He believed that even the Regiment Commander would not have thought of. Otherwise, he would not have just ordered his Regiment to guard the area.

Luo Qi continued, "After the fort is put away, we can build a barrier in this wide area. We only need 4- 50 thousand troops to stop the enemy's army of a million. We don't need the fort, we don't even need the city to stand guard."

Eileen lost herself again for Rocky. For the first time, Mercy gave Rocky a look of admiration. The other soldiers felt that the person standing in front of them was a general, so calm, so confident, so thorough in his analysis.

The leader seemed to see the appearance of a famous general and said, "I, the general, will approve of this plan. Without his order, I cannot decide on an attack. However, as long as you pass and win, you will receive a lot of military merits. As long as you win, I will directly apply for a noble title for you. If it's a success, just follow me. You don't have enough military merits yet. After I become a noble, I will give you an army that you can command. All the officers above the thousand-man commander level will be a noble, because there are many nobles in the guards. It is impossible for the commoners to command the nobility. "

Luo Qi was filled with hope for the captain's words. He only wished for the status of a noble. As for the command team, he had never thought of it. With an identity filled with the military merits required for the discharge of the army, he would return home. Then they ended the reconnaissance.

On the way, Irene quietly said to Loki, "Loki congratulates you. I feel that you are definitely not ordinary. You will definitely achieve brilliant results in the future." "Don't forget my friend then."

"I don't have many friends," said Loki. "It's hard for me to forget them. You can rest assured." Macy had come up when they were together, and although she had a better impression of Loki, she still didn't want Irene to have anything to do with Loki. She said to Loki, "Go to the back. Only the female guards will be able to protect Irene. In the future you must remember this. " Eileen couldn't speak because Macy was telling the truth.

Loki looked at Macy, who was making things difficult for him, and went to the back without saying anything. Mercy didn't give Rocky the hard look she used to give him, but avoided it. Find a chance to take care of her, Loki decided.

After another day of training, Mercy went to Rocky again. "After so long of training, you should have mastered riding," she said. "Now let me take a look at your results." I'm not going to let you go this time. Don't think I'm a vegetarian.

But things didn't seem to go as well as Roche had expected. Messi did not mount the horse. Instead, he handed the bow to Loki and said, "Shoot the target on the other side. On the basis of running horses, shoot the arrows." Luo Qi was so angry that he wanted to curse. He hadn't learned archery yet, but this time he was going to make a fool of himself.

Actually, he hadn't thought of this. He hadn't learned how to shoot many arrows when he had just entered the guards. Many of them had only been learned in the team. After seeing Loki's performance yesterday, Mercy no longer had any ill intentions towards him. Yesterday, Loki made her feel that Loki was very calm, that his thoughts were strange, that Loki was very handsome yesterday.

All of this did not change Macy's mind. She seemed to be addicted to it. She had put a lot of thought into it for Rocky's sake. Loki looked at the bow and quiver in his hand and thought, "So be it. It's not the first time I've made a fool of myself." So he put the quiver on his back and mounted the horse.

Messi saw him mount the horse and felt that Lodge's progress was very great, fluent without a trace of dullness. When he mounted the horse, the horse's hooves did not move at all, indicating that his mount was fast and light.

Loki, mounted on his running warhorse, raised his bow and pulled an arrow from his back. Then he aimed at the target. Loki felt that aiming was a very painful thing. The horse kept going up and down, and the horse that he had aimed at was gone after a jolt. He did not shoot a single arrow until they were out of the archery zone.

Luo Qi rode back to the starting point and helplessly said to Macy, "I don't know how to shoot that arrow." Mercy chuckled. "Not again? Other than splitting firewood, what else can you do? " Luo Qi replied dejectedly, "I know sword arts."

Macy said to Loki, "Actually, I already heard that your swordsmanship was pretty good, and you even killed a warrior with dou qi. How about this, let's try it? " Loki laughed when he heard that. He was going to play her to death with his zhenqi. It seemed that Macy's teasing had caused Roche to go a little crazy.

Loki pulled out his one-handed sword. Macy said, "Wait, let's go outside and compare. We don't want to delay their training." Luo Qi felt a little depressed. He had planned to humiliate her in front of everyone.

Unfortunately, it was Macy who had the final say. Loki had no power to decide. Just like that, they arrived at the training ground outside the base. Macy said, "After seeing your performance yesterday, I feel that you might not necessarily be relying on luck. Therefore, I think that your sword technique is definitely not bad. Besides, when I said that I would compete with you in swordsmanship, your smile made me feel like I was being cheated, so you shouldn't even think of giving me a chance to make a fool of myself in front of everyone. But let me also warn you, my family's martial skills are also very strong, don't underestimate me too much. "

Luo Qi thought, "It seems like Macy isn't simple. It seems like it's not that embarrassing for me to be toyed with." Loki and Macy started their attacks. Loki didn't use his zhen Qi. He just wanted to embarrass her, but now with only 2 people, he didn't need it anymore.

Loki was used to fighting with his own body. Since his thoughts were faster than his actions, he had to slow down his thoughts and give himself more time to do so. Mercy began to feel that Roche's attack was not very good. However, she slowly began to feel pressure …
