Working Prophet.

Chapter 589 The Missing Army

"Didn't Morse send someone to look for it?" Miss Rabbit asked.

"He sent it, but he was beaten back by those tribes and clans on the way. Later, Sir Morse became anxious, and he brought two hundred soldiers to rush over, but he was shot in the arm by an arrow." Feige The knightly path of the Lola family.

"How could this be?" The female lord was a little unbelievable, "I remember that not long ago, our side still had the upper hand and killed thousands of clan warriors. Aren't those savages only 4000 in total?
"How did you cut off the connection between the army and the logistics? Didn't the Marquis Cullen find that the supplies couldn't be delivered? Why didn't he retreat out of the mountain?"

Facing a series of questions from Ilea, the knight from the Figuerola family just shook his head.

"I'm not too sure about the specific situation. I'm just here to convey Lord Hell's order. He hopes that all the families in the western region can send another group of people to complete the assembly in Yanxue City within [-] days.

"It's not just the Marquis, there are also many nobles who are missing this time, as well as the elite fighters of the major families. Every moment of delay will put them at more risk, so please be sure not to be late."

After the knight finished speaking, he didn't even stay to drink his saliva, so he took people away and went to other families to deliver orders.

Only the female lord was left standing there dumbfounded.

Miss Rabbit didn't expect that she would leave again not long after returning to the green field.

But as a vassal of the Figuerola family, when the monarch is in trouble, he can't back down no matter what.

So the female lord immediately gathered her men after returning to Teacup Castle. This time, she brought more than 2000 people, including a full [-] guards and [-] militiamen.

The current Arias family is different from the past, and the guard has reached 800 people after several expansions.

You know, these are [-] professional soldiers.

They don't do production, they hone their killing skills all day long, and the salary they pay each month is a lot of money.

Even though she has gotten rid of poverty and become rich, and won the championship of the martial arts tournament and made a fortune, Miss Rabbit still feels a little pained.

But there is no way, as one of the few people who firmly believes that the Yi people will invade the Bratis continent, the female lord has been preparing for this.

The expansion of the guard is the top priority.

In fact, the speed of the female lord's military expansion in the past year has already made several neighbors feel uneasy.

When the Arias family first started to rise, the lords next to them were also working hard to strengthen their own strength, but soon they felt the difficulty.

After all, not everyone has the financial resources and determination to maintain a huge army, let alone the Western Territory, where everyone is generally not rich.

Moreover, Ilea not only recruited guards, but also paid great attention to the training of the militia. She followed Li Yu's suggestion, standardized the training methods of the militia, set many goals for them from small to large, and provided them with generous rewards.

Thereby stimulating the enthusiasm of those farmers, and the cost is to spend more money.

But the effect is also very good, even the former head of the royal guard was surprised by their discipline and skill when he saw the militiamen.

Although they still couldn't keep up with professional fighters, they were much better than peasants who only knew to run around when the order sounded.

In addition, their equipment is not bad, most of them are dressed in cloth armor, and a small number of them have leather armor and iron armor, which is much better than the militiamen under the command of other nobles.

Once this armed force is put there, it's no wonder that the surrounding lords can't sleep well.

But I can't follow up, so I can only form alliances crazily.

Even the female lord herself didn't realize that her presence helped the nearby families to promote many marriages in just one year.

Ilea just felt that the frequency of her attending weddings had increased recently, and wondered if those herself had encountered a new method of plucking wool.

The female lord personally led the team and arrived outside Yanxue City on the seventh day. At this time, the news of the disappearance of Marquis Cullen and others gradually spread in the western region.

The atmosphere in the city became tense, and other nearby families also arrived, and the troops they brought were all stationed outside the city.

The number of people does not seem to be very large, and most of them are mainly militiamen, and the equipment is also very simple.

One reason is that these small families have few fighters themselves, and they have sent out once before, and now it is even more difficult to gather people, generally there are only one or two hundred people.

Some even brought dozens of people over, but it could be seen that they were really anxious, because the last army included important figures from their families and elite soldiers.

Some even paid for the owner of the family together. Now the big guy has only one thought in his mind, and that is to find the person quickly.

Therefore, when they saw a well-equipped team of more than 2000 people rushing to the outside of the city, many people were shocked.

Especially when they found out that the leader of that troop was the dragon-slaying hero and the new champion of the martial arts tournament, many nobles showed joy on their faces, feeling like they were looking forward to a savior.

Hells, the acting city lord, went out of the city to greet him in person.

"Ser Ilea."

"Master Hells." The female lord dismounted.

The last time the two met was a year ago. Because of the black dragon, Miss Rabbit initially suspected that Hells was in collusion with the Wing Clan, but later the truth came to light, and it was David who was behind it.

But Hells is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, and this guy has a lot of eyes.

The female lord had a mediocre impression of him, but seeing that his face was serious now, and his brows were almost frowning, she also knew that he was really worried about those missing people.

"Didn't Prophet Merlin come this time?" Hals was a little disappointed that he couldn't see Li Yu in the crowd.

But soon I heard Ilea say again, "Don't worry, Mr. Prophet will show up at the right time."

"I can't relax now," Hells said with a wry smile, "My father and the others have been missing for more than ten days, and according to Sir Morse, the supplies they carry with them can only last five days.

"Even if the horse is killed, it will last another three to five days, so we must send reinforcements as soon as possible."

Miss Rabbit also became serious when she heard the words, "Are those tribes and clans so powerful that they can surround an army of nearly [-] people in the mountains and starve?"

"Their strength is not very good, and the previous defeats don't seem to be feigned, and my father has always been cautious in using troops, even if the opponent is weak, he will not take it lightly.

"In fact, he wrote to me two days before entering the mountain, saying that he didn't plan to go any further, but Sir Morse said that at that time the other nobles in the team were very enthusiastic, and they all challenged my father.

"After being rejected by my father, some people secretly led people into the mountain. My father was worried about their safety, so he led people to chase them in."
