Chapter 288 A Fateful Encounter

"Caravan? There are still people doing business in this ruined place?" Roland widened his eyes and said in disbelief. These merchants really want money rather than their lives!

"Of course!" Jin Dan scratched his head and couldn't figure out why this adult was making such a fuss.

"Yes! After all, the development of business is pervasive..." Roland nodded thoughtfully.

"By the way, what's the security situation around you?" Kaslo asked, looking at the dilapidated village.

Low shacks, dusty dirt roads, numb people on the streets, children huddled naked in the shacks, almost everyone is in ragged clothes, and only a few wooden and stone buildings in the center of the village are visible. The two-story building is considered a real building!

"The situation is not optimistic... Wandering orcs often break into our village, and they even invaded the village before..." Golden Egg shook his head bitterly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Roland said in amazement. Needless to say, the humans here are really powerful. They can still thrive here without powerful weapons. I really don't know how they can resist the attack of the orcs.

"How many more of you are there?" Roland asked curiously, staring at the equally curious villagers.

"There are probably less than 500 people left...more than 200 young and middle-aged people!" Jin Dan thought for a while.

"Yes!" Roland nodded clearly. After all, most of the people who can survive in this environment are young adults, and it is difficult for the elderly to survive to this point.

"His Royal Highness, you can camp here!" Jindan led Roland to a deserted square. Through the size of the square, it can be vaguely seen that the city was still very prosperous back then!

"Why don't you consider leaving here?" Roland asked a question that has been on his mind for a long time. Whether it is migrating north or west, it is much better than staying here and being harassed by orcs!

"Alas... you don't know something! Don't we want to leave? Where are we going? How will we provide food along the way? Who will protect our safety? I can't lead everyone to die!" Jindan looked bitterly. Roland, this somewhat ignorant country bumpkin nobleman has not lost his noble sense of responsibility.

"Alas, you don't know something! If we stay here, we can rely on the relics left by our ancestors to deal with scattered orcs, and we can still live in warm shacks! We still have land to cultivate... once we leave here , we have nothing!" Jindan sighed helplessly, his eyes full of bitterness and lamentation.

"I won't disturb you anymore. Please have a good rest. If you need anything, please feel free to ask me!" Jindan bowed to Roland and left with a sigh.

"What did you see?" Roland turned to Ormsk and asked.

"Ignorance, backwardness, cowardice...but still has the brilliance of humanity and the responsibility of a noble! At least it is much better than those vampires!" Ormsk said slowly.

"The conditions here are so bad! I just observed that they have almost no livestock, and farming relies on manpower! And all of them are malnourished..." Ajax frowned.

"Their situation shouldn't be able to support heavy infantry!" Roland said slowly. He didn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt were. If it weren't for the existence of such bugs in the system, Roland wouldn't be able to support many off-duty soldiers and professionals. Soldier! Judging from their productivity, that small group of heavy infantry was simply not something Deno Village could afford.

"I think I know the truth!" Kaslo rubbed his chin and turned to look at Roland.

"My lord, do you still remember the report of Baron Lance?" Kaslow asked.

"I understand! They used the gold coins that Lance gave them to buy this equipment!" Roland suddenly realized that the small bag of gold coins that Lance gave them could still buy a few sets of armor.

"The armor is good, but the weapons are a bit low-key!" Ajax couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth as she recalled the heavy logging axes in the hands of those soldiers.

"It's enough for these people! They don't need to fight against the regular orc army. Even if they fight, they can't win..." Ormsk said that this is not a problem, and they can't win anyway.

"Okay, let's just leave them some weapons and armor as reward when we leave!" Roland thought for a while. After all, he has a lot of equipment obtained by signing in in his system space. It is not a problem to separate out more than a dozen sets.

"Go to rest early! Pay attention to arrange the sentries!" Roland warned.

…

"System sign-in..." Roland, who had gotten up in the middle of the night, said this in a routine manner.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in! The reward is a full fleet of 2 rapid army units!"

"It has been detected that your force is in a state of war! Troops have been automatically allocated to the appropriate battlefield!" The system's voice showed no emotion at all.

"Hmm...two rapids legions, assign the battlefield...um~um! Xiami?" Roland, who was releasing the water, almost shrank back in fear.

These two fleet legions are extremely surprising, but it is scary to be in a state of war! The battle of Moria is over! Why is there still a war? Since it is not from here, there is only one possibility... Rapid City!

"Fuck! Kaslo! Ormsk! Ajax!" Roland picked up his belt and rushed towards the tent where several people were staying.

"Bang!" Roland was kicked out by Ajax without any surprise.

Ormsk and Kaslow, who heard the noise, ran over quickly and saw Roland being kicked out of the tent by Ajax and Ajax, whose clothes were slightly disheveled.

"Uh... we didn't see anything!" Ormsk and Kaslo quickly turned their heads.

"Please bean sack!"

"Huh?" Ormsk and Kaslow stopped walking with question marks on their faces.

"Wait! There seems to be a problem in Rapid City! Kasluo, please work hard with Ajax! Set off overnight! Help me protect my people! Please!" Roland said quickly.

"What?" The three people in Ormsk opened their eyes wide, and their whole bodies suddenly started to tremble.

"I understand! Kaldor!" Kaslo took out his dragon flute and directly summoned his storm dragon to soar up.

"I will abide by the way of chivalry and protect the weak! Raynor!" Ajax also took out the dragon flute and summoned his own blazing-winged fire dragon.

"I hope it's not too late..." Roland looked to the north worriedly.

…

"General! Where are we going?" A rapid-fire infantryman panted.

In the dark night, a long "fire dragon" illuminated by torches meanders in the wilderness.

"Hurry! The prophecy says that the only remaining kingdom of Pure Land is in trouble! We have to go to support!" Luke Leopold looked into the distance wearing a blue cloak, with firelight reflecting in his deep pupils.

"Brother! Are you in such a hurry? We have been marching in a hurry for several days!" Merck Leopold panted and carried his own carbine.

"Oh... walk a little longer! Let's find a place to camp and rest for a few hours after dawn!" Luke Leopold sighed, but looked at everyone's tired expressions and still spoke.

"The afterglow of the empire! Hold on! The children of the North are here to save you!" Luke Leopold looked in the direction of Lulong Fortress.

As everyone knows, Renault is also standing at the top of the city at this moment. Suddenly! He looked in one direction with feeling, and there was a throbbing of soul calling him.

The cycle of history begins again, and fate closely connects the two people again.

"I will defend this place! Behind me are the people!" Renault said firmly.

There may not be an update tomorrow, because there are reports about the start of school tomorrow... woo woo woo
