European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 141 The Vanguard
"My lord, the environment here is even worse than I imagined. This man is almost sinking in carrying the food, and he needs two people to help and carry it. The efficiency is quite poor."

Possant complained one by one, looking at the mud on his feet, he really suffered a lot earlier.

Li Peijun laughed loudly, and handed over the topographic map again, and began to gesture, "Look, although this road is a bit of a detour, you can avoid this crime, and the remaining food can be diverted to this road."

Possant took the blueprint and cleaned up the mud on his feet, "It's not far away, it's not a big deal compared to suffering this crime."

"How's the situation in Caen?" Li Peijun asked as usual.

Possang licked his somewhat dry lips and said, "The vanguard should arrive here tonight, and the work of transporting grain can be finished by noon, so we have time to retreat."

Li Peijun nodded, "That's good, thank you for your hard work."

"Happy to serve you." Passant beat his chest to show his loyalty.

As for Caen, thanks to Turuk's hard and soft actions, the counting of the vanguard is finally coming to an end.

"In two days, why are there only 300 people? Are all the knights in Caen dead?" Turuk looked at the number on the roster, which was far from meeting his expectations. He was very dissatisfied, and was furious on the spot.

Nathan timidly persuaded from the side: "Many nobles in the fief are unable to make ends meet. The time you gave is really tight. They asked if they could allow two more days. When the time comes, they will naturally gather a large army."

Turuk smiled disdainfully, and suddenly stomped his feet like a roar, "Collection? It turns out that our invincible army was improvised. I don't care what difficulties they encountered. The vanguard of the front line must arrive at Carnapville by tomorrow morning." .”

"By the way, did that guy Consk act strangely?"

Nathan shook his head, "No, he's the same as usual. He has been recruiting knights since yesterday, but he hasn't gathered yet."

"Look closely at him. You are the commander-in-chief of the vanguard. When passing by his fiefdom, all the soldiers on hand will be taken to the front line, and those disobedient nobles will also be taken. Anyone who disobeys orders will be dealt with according to military law. "Turuk is not worried about foreign enemies at this moment, but doubts the loyalty of his own people.

Nathan looked a little surprised, "Me? I am the conductor, but I..."

"I know, Nathan, you've been with me for so long. It's time to grow up. Many people under your command have criticized you. You should take this opportunity to prove it to them." Turuk also worked hard. Good luck, with Harfleur's strength, it's not a snap of his fingers to make a triumphant return this time.

"Yes, Lord Earl, I will definitely live up to expectations, thank you Earl for your kindness." Nathan also gave a standard salute in a sensible manner, and then assembled the knights on hand to prepare for the front line.

At noon, all preparations for Canapville were completed. Li Peijun found some plain clothes of the lord from the original lord's house, and dressed up decently.

"Ah, this body odor is really heavy. It must have been a few days before I vomited after taking a bath." Li Peijun sniffed the unpleasant smell emanating from the inner wall, and unbearably soaked his clothes to dry them first.

"Wait, wait, if there is any movement outside, report it immediately." After Li Peijun ordered his men to pay attention to the movement, he took a nap happily.

Nathan's job is not as easy as he imagined. Although he is the commander-in-chief of the front line in name, most of the nobles under him are dissatisfied with him. A person who can only flatter horses but has no real ability to do anything, why should he step on his own head? .

If it weren't for the three hundred iron cavalry, I'm afraid Nathan would not be able to reach it by himself. Relying on the power of a fox, Nathan reluctantly straightened his waist and scolded: "Hurry up, I know you are in trouble, but please don't let me go!" It's hard for me to do it, as many people as I can gather at the moment, I'll take them all away first."

There was a hint of timidity in his tone, he was afraid that he would offend others if he said something serious, along the way, plus the followers who acted as logistics supplies, he managed to gather 1200 people.

Right now, it would be all right to take the army at hand to cross the Tuke River and arrive at Carnapville. Nathan wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was not because of the hot weather, but because of his nervous and anxious state of mind.

"It's okay, Nathan, you can do it, you are a knight, how can a knight be afraid, the enemy will only be torn to pieces under the iron hoof." Nathan muttered all the way, but the sweat on his forehead was wiping more and more.

As soon as the Tuke River in front of him could see the bottom, Nathan also ordered the army to wade directly across the river. The gentle current was just halfway up to the horse's legs, and the whole army quickly crossed the river in an orderly manner.

The scene in front of him was a bit different from what was described on the previous map. It was still surrounded by dense forests. Except for a wide avenue with no end in sight, everything seemed extremely quiet.

The gloomy atmosphere made Nathan feel more and more frightened, and subconsciously he had the idea of ​​escaping from here.

"Ah, damn it, this horse's hoof is stuck in the mud." Nathan complained helplessly.

An echo came from a distance, "Master Earl, I have been waiting here for a long time. It has rained a lot in the past two days, so the soil is so wet."

Li Peijun had already heard that he had received the news, so he changed his clothes and went out to greet him. At this time, he was the lord of Canapville.

"Oh, buddy, although what you said is very pleasant, unfortunately, I am not an earl, I am just a knight under my command." Nathan said frankly, although the other party admitted the wrong person, but he also passed A handful of earl addiction, and there is not too much blame.

"It must be your aura that gave me this feeling, that general heroism." Li Peijun deftly resolved the embarrassment, and personally stepped forward to drag the other party out of the quagmire.

"Follow me, the manor is just ahead."

Nathan immediately had a good impression of this humble nobleman, thinking about his future path, it was time to cultivate his confidants.

Although it is good to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade, but this big tree will grow old and die one day, and it still has to flourish in order to be an evergreen tree.

"The environment around here is somewhat different from the one on the map." Nathan was still deeply puzzled by this.

Li Peijun smiled and led everyone to the outside of the manor, "Probably the servants who drew were not paying attention, and the size was wrong. You can look at it now and see if it is the same."

Following Li Peijun's gestures, everyone kept looking around. Carnapville was just at the junction of the forest and the plain, and the hinterland behind the manor was an endless plain.

At this time, the maps are all hand-drawn, and it is quite normal for some mistakes to occur. Nathan dispelled his doubts and said with a pleasant face: "You have a heart, this time for the Earl, you have contributed a lot, and you have volunteered to provide supplies. , the true feelings are rare, I will definitely give you a few good words in front of the Earl."

Hearing this tone, Li Peijun sensed that the other party wanted to win him over, so he pushed the boat along the way: "Then I will follow the adults to soak in the rain and dew a little bit in the future."

The two looked at each other and smiled, each harboring ghosts.
