living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 161 Farewell
Julian seldom showed such an expression. Mu Lan chuckled, brought the maid's dinner plate over, and asked her to back off.

"Let's eat something."

Mu Lan put the refreshments on the desk in the sand table, casually picked up a piece of biscuit that was baked until golden, smelled it, the milky smell was tangy, and thought about whether to get some for Lin Yiyi, she should like this kind of thing very much.

Although Mu Lan didn't finish what she said just now, Julian already understood what she meant and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He sighed and his eyes became sad.

Julian didn't have the appetite to eat, so Mu Lan forcefully gave him a piece of snack, so he began to chew reluctantly.

"I don't think you left Nosval, nor are you St. Warren." Julian gave Mu Lan a heavy look, "You are the messenger of the gods, will you return to the arms of the gods? Am I never?" See you again."

This sentence Julian said seriously, after he finished speaking, Mu Lan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Julian stopped talking, and the hall gradually fell silent, with a cloud covering half of the outline of the moon, just like his mood at the moment.

After the third day of war mobilization in the city of Saint-Dantier, the army marched out. Julian combined the soldiers of Willenburg and the Guards into a force of 7 soldiers. Almost all the soldiers with combat effectiveness came out, leaving only the king's capital. Some disabled veterans and newly recruited refugee soldiers, this is also the emptiest day since the establishment of the Millennium King's Capital.

This is a helpless move. Unlike the Zhuritan barbarians, the Noswar people are all soldiers. It takes a lot of money to train and equip a soldier. This world has almost the same historical trend as Mu Lan's world. Civilized man has a threat that cannot be eradicated.

With the melodious sound of bagpipes blowing slowly, there are pictures of parting at the gate of the city, and the soldiers are saying their final farewell to their relatives.

This time, the road ahead is bleak, and maybe returning to the capital again will be a letter from the family who died in battle.

Although reluctant to give up, the soldiers still wiped away their tears. In order to protect their relatives, they must hold the long sword in their hands tightly. Everyone is ready to die on the battlefield.

The army marched out from the city gate in a mighty manner, led by the most elite cavalry, less than a thousand people, who protected the baggage troops, and behind the infantry, all the rock-solid soldiers and the battle mages also accompanied the army.

Before the city gate, Julian said his final farewell to everyone. The capital had just experienced a power overthrow and had not yet been fully rectified. Julian needed to sit in the back to stabilize people's hearts.

"It's a pity that you won't be able to see my coronation ceremony." Julian regretted.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Lin Yiyi waved her hand funny, "I can feel the heroic appearance of the new king!"

"Then let's say goodbye here!" Shi Zhengyang patted Julian, "Take care of yourself."

Zhao Ziyu was also deeply touched. He said with a smile: "I didn't come here in vain. I even got a Lord. Just wait for the good news in the rear. I will definitely help you solve the troubles of foreign enemies and let you sit in peace." To the throne."

Julian laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Okay, I'll wait for your good news!"

In the end, Julian looked at Mu Lan, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes that he wanted to say. Lin Yiyi gave him a teasing look, and then dragged Zhao Ziyu, who was full of curiosity, away.

"Come on, come on, what kind of light bulb are you?"

Mu Lan supported her forehead, a little unwilling to face Julian, but Julian took out a pendant with a smile and stuffed it into Mu Lan's palm.

"I found this from the Warlock Mutual Aid Association." Julian said softly, "I gave you a magic staff before, but I didn't know that it would be useless to you. After I arrived in the capital, I sent another person to find this thing. "

Mu Lan looked at this pendant made of mithril, the core of which was an unnamed blue gemstone, when a system prompt appeared.

[Azure Crystal Pendant: It has the effect of improving the spellcasting effect of a warlock, and can store a small amount of mental power. 】

"I heard that this is a treasure that is very beneficial to warlocks. I gave it to you." Julian's eyes were deep and he did not move away.

Mu Lan accepted Julian's gift with a smile. This pendant was really helpful to her, and Julian put his heart into it.

"Thank you."

"Then. Goodbye!"

Julian watched Mu Lan's back until her figure disappeared in the distance.

He lowered his head in disappointment, his heart twitched suddenly.

It seems that something very important has been lost.

The magnificent city of Saint-Dantier is getting farther and farther away. Starting from here and heading northwest, it will take half a month to reach the Silver Valley, and it is still traveling day and night.

After Roy became a general, he has been discussing the battle situation with the rock-solid team. He is the youngest general since the time of Emperor Claudius. It is staggering, and it also proves from another direction how scarce Julian's available people are.

General Roland of Willenburg also came to support from the east, and the two armies would meet in the City of Silver. At that time, this veteran with rich combat experience would become the supreme commander of the entire fortress.

The further north you go, the more desolate the road becomes. There are abandoned villages and civilians lying on the roadside dying of starvation and illness. Leaving the royal capital with dense river networks, no living person has been seen for about a week.

Everyone's expressions became serious. The damage caused by the barbarians was greater than imagined. Shi Zhengyang and Shen Wei estimated that after the barbarian invasion, nearly a quarter of the population of Northvale dropped sharply, and the people's livelihood was already the worst problem. To put it lightly, from the rumors of the exiles, some places are already eating people.

"Hey." Lin Yiyi sighed, and this carefree girl couldn't bear to look at it. Her voice was sad: "Although we don't belong here, I hope they will be well in the end."

"War is like this." Shi Zhengyang comforted: "It's fortunate that we were born in a peaceful age."

Mu Lan looked at the crow that was gnawing on the dry bones. When the army passed by, she was disturbed and flew up, but after a while, it circled around and landed on the bones again. She was also a little touched by this situation. Living in this era is indeed It is the sorrow of ordinary people.

So she has to work hard to become stronger, just like Hawkins' ideal, she also has to be a strong person standing on the top of the mountain, so strong that she will not surrender to anyone's pressure, so strong that she can do whatever she wants .

The process of the march will not be described in detail. The army arrived at Baiyin Valley a few days earlier than the scheduled time. The terrain here is very complicated. The valleys and passes form narrow and long passages. It rushes down to the southern plain, and a whole piece of flat lowland is formed inside.

Mu Lan looked around the Silver Valley. It was a battlefield that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops. Shen Wei said that it was suitable for large square formations to fight in the field, and it was also suitable for ambushes.

The Silver City is located on a highland in the mountains, and its area is smaller than Willenburg. The name of the Silver City comes from the Silver Valley, and the Silver Valley is said to be related to the production of silver deposits here. Emperor Claudius This was his source of finance when the army was raised, but now the silver has been hollowed out long ago, but the name has been retained to this day.

The main force of the barbarians was chasing the remnant army loyal to the regent, so they were only disturbed by a few small-scale disturbances when they approached the Silver City, and entered the fortress smoothly.

Shen Wei looked at the surrounding terrain and sighed: "Fortunately, the City of Silver did not fall into the enemy's hands. They occupy a high ground, and it is difficult for the barbarians to stop us here."
