Working Prophet.

Chapter 590
Hulse didn't know why the army disappeared.

For hundreds of years, the clans and tribes in the Dragon's Back Mountains have never had any trouble with the empire, which also led to the fact that the nobles in the western region knew little about them.

And those guys, like the lizardmen in the Great Swamp of Gegu, have their own language, unlike people in other parts of the mainland who communicate in a common language, which makes it more difficult for people outside to communicate with them.

"I found a guy, his nickname is Big Hand, he is a groom." The acting city lord of Yanxue City continued.

"You... why did you suddenly mention this?" Ilea was puzzled.

"Big Hand's mother is a savage in the Dragon's Back Mountains. She comes from a tribe called the Giant Hand. It is said that people in that tribe have very large hands, which is where the nickname Big Hand comes from." Hels explained.

"A savage?"

"No, Big Hand grew up in Yanxue City, his mother fell in love with his father, but the Big Hand tribe forbids people from the tribe to marry outsiders, so the two eloped overnight and left the Dragon's Back Mountain Range. "

"Because of his mother, Big Hand is more familiar with the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, and he can also speak the words of those savages. If you want to enter the mountain, he should be able to help you."

"Wait, you just said me, didn't you mean us, don't you go together?" Miss Rabbit asked.

"My father gave me an order before he left for me to guard Yan Xuecheng. He told me that until he came back, no matter what happened, I could not leave here."

Hells said, "Although I am very worried about the safety of my father and other nobles and soldiers, I cannot participate in this rescue."

"Then who will command the army?"

After Miss Rabbit finished speaking, she found that everyone around her was looking at her.

"Sir Ilea, you brought the most people this time, and you are also the champion of the martial arts tournament, with peerless martial prowess that no one can beat.

"The most important thing is that when the black dragon was raging in the western region, you had already been the commander once, and led everyone to the final victory, so you are also expected to be the commander this time.

The female lord was a little dumbfounded when she heard the words, mainly because she didn't know how to march and fight.

Although the decisive battle with the black dragon was soul-stirring, it actually happened in front of her house. Miss Rabbit didn't go out at all, and Li Yu was the one who made the strategy before the battle.

But the girl didn't panic because of this. On the one hand, she has seen a lot of strong winds and waves now, and she is no longer as impatient as before.

In addition, isn't it the commanding of the army? Although she can't do it, she knows who can.

Du Lun—the former chief guard of the Imperial Forest Army, all the Imperial Forest Army was under his command. Whether it was martial arts or commanding power, he was absolutely top-notch. It would be no problem to command this group of nobles in the western region.

And he happened to be in the accompanying team, so Miss Rabbit just had to ask him for advice if he encountered any problems.

In addition, Li Yu also attached great importance to this matter, and sent a very luxurious team with several holy artifacts to help out.

This also gave the female lord greater confidence.

Thinking of this, Ilea no longer hesitated, nodded and said, "Okay, then I will be the commander this time."

Hells was overjoyed, "Big hand, I sent someone to Sir Morse. In the previous battle, we captured some wildling prisoners, most of them were executed directly, but there are less than 100 people left.

"Sir Morse is interrogating them. You can go and see Sir Morse first. He and his people are stationed outside Dragon's Back Mountain. They still have a lot of supplies there. Those things are now yours."

Ilea stayed in Rock Snow City for two days, and there were still four days before the deadline set by Hells.

But the female lord didn't want to wait anymore, mainly because there was still no news of Marquis Cullen and the army in the Dragon's Back Mountain Range.

And Yan Xue City has gathered 5000 people here, which already has an advantage in numbers compared to those savage tribes.

There are still some territories that are far away. If they can all come here, it is estimated that there will be another 2000 people.

However, half a month had passed since the disappearance of the Marquis Cullen and others, and the ominous premonition shrouded in everyone's hearts became more and more intense.

Ilea is really worried about procrastinating, even if the missing army can be found, she doesn't know how many people are left.

Therefore, after consulting Du Lun and others, Miss Rabbit decided to leave early.

With this newly assembled army, they rushed all the way to the Dragon's Back Mountain, and met Sir Morse and his 300 men at Fort Hard Rock.

Despite its defensive-sounding name, the castle is actually neither strong nor built of stone.

It was just a wooden castle, belonging to the Kovat family, a small family that Ilea hadn't heard much about.

Although Stone Fort is located in the westernmost part of the empire, it is still neighbors with those clans and tribes in Dragon's Back Mountain.

But because of the long-term friendly relationship between the two parties, and the fact that the Kowat family couldn't come up with the money to build the stone castle, they just kept living like this.

Until not long ago, when those wildlings came down from the mountain, the first thing to suffer was Stone Castle.

It can be said that the Kowat family suffered heavy losses. Not only did the patriarch Togra die in battle, but even Togra's daughter, wife and younger sister were taken away by those savages.

The only one who survived was Togra's son Wilkin, who was only 12 years old. Because the Kowat family did not have a special teacher, he learned to write in the next town, which saved his life.

And when he came back, he had no relatives, and the castle at home was set on fire by those crazy savages.

Later, the army came over and temporarily requisitioned this place to store food, grass and supplies. Morse also built some simple defense facilities nearby.

Obviously less than 90 years old, he is still in the prime of life among the half-orcs, but those who are familiar with Morse find that when they meet again, this middle-aged nobleman seems to be decades old, with wrinkles around his eyes and sideburns. Also white.

"Sir Ilea!" As soon as Morse saw the female lord, he could no longer control his emotions, and suddenly fell to his knees on the ground.

"Please take someone into the mountain immediately to rescue the Marquis and the others. They have been trapped in the mountain for more than 20 days!"

Miss Rabbit was taken aback, and hurried over to help Morse, but she couldn't help him up.

It seems that as long as the female lord does not agree, he has no intention of standing up again.

Ilea comforted, "Don't worry, just tell me what you know."
