Chapter 53

By the time Alan and Horimion returned to the barracks, it was already evening.

Accompanied by Hermione, Alan made a comprehensive inspection of the camp's defense, patrol, food, and tent arrangements. After finishing all this, it was almost dark.

Then Allen came to his own tent, packed his clothes a little, and after a simple dinner, he came to the marching tent.

Allen sat on the main seat of the big tent, looking at the tent that can accommodate dozens of people, thinking about the thousands of soldiers in the camp.

Suddenly there was an indescribable feeling in my heart, some satisfaction, but also some pride, followed by introspection and thinking.

Soon, Allen's personal guards began to shuttle around the camp. Their task was to notify all the officers above the battalion captain to hold a meeting in the marching tent in half an hour.

Slowly it got dark, and candles were lit in the marching tent.

In the light of the candles, more and more people came to the marching tent. After saluting Allen, they sat in their own seats.

Soon, more than a dozen people arrived, including Beorn and Woolf, two skin changers.

The people here are Alan's main military subordinates. They sit quietly in chairs, waiting for their lord to give orders.

Allen looked at the familiar faces in front of him, and felt deeply touched. This was the first time he had summoned them all to his side.

Most of them followed their old subordinates at the beginning, either they came to Middle-earth with themselves, or they came when they were first summoned.

The only difference is that Ota is sitting in the ranks of the infantry captain, and the skin-changing man is sitting on the edge of the tent.

These people are Alan's subordinates, assisting Alan in controlling the violent machines in Wilderness Town. Alan is not worried about their loyalty, but power often means too much temptation.

When the army was first established, Allen, Fatis, Allen, and Bandak also stipulated several severe punishment laws. For example, officers are not allowed to blackmail their subordinates. Once they are found, their hands will be beheaded immediately, and then they will be deported. .

For another example, on the battlefield, soldiers must strictly obey orders, and if they disobey, they will be killed on the spot, and so on.

But those are hard regulations, tough laws used to restrain the army, which can only scare the soldiers, not elevate their minds.

So Allen felt that he should say something, at least let these officers understand what he meant, and let them understand how to be a good officer under his command.

Allen looked at them, pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I am very happy today, because all I see here are old faces, I think, you have been following since a long time ago Me, and I am familiar with you all."

With that said, Allen stood up, and raised his hand to stop his subordinates who also wanted to stand up.

At this time, he looked at several cavalry captains and said: "I remember, you and I ran for dozens of miles to rescue the innocent people who were taken away by the wolf cavalry. You guys are still right behind me."

The cavalry officers who heard this puffed up their chests and raised their heads slightly, because they are indeed the group of people who have followed Allen the longest and fought the most battles with Allen here.

After saying this, Allen turned his head to look at the infantry captain and the shooter captain, and continued: "I still remember that you and I guarded the villagers on a short fence, facing the crowd ten times larger Our enemies, you don’t flinch, continue to kill and wound the enemy, and even dare to join me outside the wall to confront the enemy head-on.”

The infantry and archer officers who heard this sat up straighter, and some of them had sad expressions on their faces, as if they were thinking of their relatives and friends who died in that battle.

Afterwards, Allen looked at Ota first, then looked at Beorn, and said: "I also remember that you and I went to the dark tunnel in the Misty Mountains, fearless of hard work and danger, and finally saved the world. Our allies, the families of Beorn."

Beorn, who was sitting on the edge of the tent, was a little moved. He looked at Alan who was looking at him, and nodded.

And Allen continued his speech.

"Then why do we do these things? Is it to hold power? Is it for family glory? Is it for glory and wealth? Of course, of course, I will give you all of these."

When he said this, Allen's expression became serious: "However, I also hope that you will remember that these are just accessories. It is your loyalty, your courage, your ability, and the reasonableness brought to you. income."

Speaking of which, Allen looked around his subordinates again, and said: "Please remember, only when our people and subordinates believe in us and believe that we can bring them a stable, peaceful, and happy life, can we Always have unlimited glory, a rich life and divine rights."

Allen paused here, thinking of something, and recalled: "I once said, I hope we can become a noble and beloved team; I hope that we, with faith in mind, should go to Do those glorious things; I hope that we who hold sharp weapons will kill those who deserve to die; I hope that we who have strength should help those who are in trouble, and now, my original intention remains unchanged, and , I also hope that we, holding the army in our hands, must take protecting the people as the most noble goal."

Having said that, Allen looked around at the nervous subordinates, and his face returned to calm.

"Okay everyone, I'm not saying that you did anything wrong, you don't need to be so nervous, you just need to remember these, that's all."

Looking at the heroes who still haven't relaxed, Allen gave them an order.

"Now, I have a definite news that there will soon be a dragon attacking Changhu Town. Of course, Changhu Town is not my territory, and we have no responsibility for the town on the log."

Having said that, Allen's words changed.

"However, there are still many innocent people living there. I can't just watch them die. Therefore, please obey my order at this time. After dawn tomorrow, all the troops will gather at the gate of the camp, and we will approach Long Lake Town, I want to force that stupid mayor of Changhu Town, and force him to issue an order for the townspeople to leave Changhu Town, to leave their lair, which is about to be destroyed by evil dragons, everyone, do you understand?"

"Yes." "Okay." "Following your order."

Originally, Allen wanted to ask his subordinates if they had any other questions, but this noisy echo directly disrupted Allen's thoughts.

Faced with this situation, Allen had no choice but to say: "Then, go back and prepare, everyone."

After the voice fell, Allen's subordinates left their seats and walked out of the tent. They will gather in front of the camp gate with their team on time tomorrow morning.

In the end, only Beorn and Allen's captain of the personal guard were left in the tent.

At this time, Beorn spoke first, and he said anxiously: "Alan, I seem to have heard the word dragon from your words."

Allen nodded, and said calmly: "Yes, soon, I may have to face a giant dragon with a body length of hundreds of meters."

Beorn's expression was a bit serious, and he said, "Smaug? It's not a wise thing to use an army to fight against this evil dragon. Alan, you are just letting them die. Do you really have the heart?"

Hearing Beorn's words, Allen knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "I will not let them face the dragon. At that time, only me and my personal guards will be present here. Will it be true?" face the dragon."

Horimion and the other twilight knights heard it, but there was no reaction, not even a change in their eyes.

Beorn pressed Allen: "Then is there anything I can do?"

Allen smiled, smiling very happily, and he said: "You can contribute tomorrow, my friends, you and Woolf, are my important forces to threaten that Mayor Stephen."

Afterwards, Allen's smile faded, and he continued: "But I can't let you face the dragon, my friend, so be it, I have to rest early."

After Allen finished speaking, he got up and left the marching tent, returned to his tent, and lay on the bed.

Even though he was very tired, he didn't fall asleep immediately, but continued to think about his plan.

Yes, Allen has always been prepared to use the army to coerce Stephen.

Otherwise, why should the army be stationed near Long Lake Town? Isn't it good in the Woodland Kingdom?It is also easier to obtain supplies.

Allen knew that there were not many guards in Changhu Town, at most, it was enough to pull out a few hundred militiamen, and it was absolutely impossible to have his elite soldiers.

Moreover, Changhu Town does not have high-end power, and it will definitely not be able to withstand the trampling of Allen and the Twilight Knights' pro-guards. In other words, Beorn is enough.

Of course, going to war is only the last and worst option. Allen is confident enough that the fat guy will agree to his request.

In the early morning of the next day, after a night's rest, Alan, who was full of energy again, rode an elf horse in full armor and came to the gate of the camp, seeing the whole picture of his army for the first time.

More than 1000 people, according to the different types of arms, formed three neat square formations.

600 well-armored infantry, with sharp spears shining like a dense forest, stood in the center of the entire army under the leadership of Elaine.

Their right wing is the long-range troops led by Bandak. They are like their commanders, looking at Alan silently. Alan can see the most familiar faces among them.

The cavalry unit led by Fatis is on Allen's left flank, that is, in the direction of Changhu Town. They will follow Allen with guns on horseback and arrive at Changhu Town one step ahead, and start the first battle against the guards of Changhu Town A round of deterrence.

As for the auxiliary troops left in the camp, they will guard the camp, as well as the supplies and horses in the camp.

At this time, Allen, who was riding a horse, looked at them excitedly, and kept running beside them.

After a long time, Allen didn't say anything, but pulled out the knight's long sword from his waist, pointed in the direction of Changhu Town, and shouted "Let's go".

Even if the guards in Changhu Town were lazy, they were not blind. They actually discovered the barracks in Wilderness Town very early and reported it to their mayor.

And Stephen also sent his deputy, Alfred, to bring a gift and call on the highest officer of the barracks as a messenger.

However, Alfred did not enter the camp at all, because the highest officer of the barracks was not in the camp, and the other officers did not want to see him.

Helpless, Alfred had no choice but to return to his mayor with a little news.

After Mayor Stephen knew that there were thousands of troops stationed around him, he was always in a state of being frightened. How many people are there in Changhu Town?There are only two thousand people.

Relying on dozens of fully armed guards and hundreds of fishermen with harpoons in their hands, how could it be possible to resist such an army?

However, when he learned that the highest officer of those armies was the lord of Wilderness Town, he felt lucky.

He felt that he had never offended Allen, and even had a happy deal with Allen. How could those troops come to attack him?

However, at this time, Allen took hundreds of fully armed cavalry and two huge black bears, and appeared majestically on the shore of Changhu Town, breaking all his fantasies. Not sure what to do.

It was his guard captain, Braga, who summoned dozens of heavily armed guards in this town. They were not bad at fighting, proficient in bows and arrows, and had good morale. They guarded the gate of Changhu Town.

Then Braga arranged for people to gather the brave men of this town, and soon hundreds of fishermen would rush over.

At this time, Allen had already set foot on the wooden bridge in Changhu Town with his personal guards. He keenly saw Mayor Stephen who wanted to hide in the crowd.

Allen shouted at him: "Mayor Stephen, I have something to discuss with you. Look, can I spare some time?"

Stephen's voice came from behind the wooden door, and the voice remained calm.

"Lord Allen, you brought hundreds of cavalry to the gate of Changhu Town. You are not trying to discuss with me, you are threatening me!!"

Allen ignored Stephen, pointed in the direction he was coming, and continued to shout loudly: "Look carefully, not only hundreds of cavalry, I also have thousands of infantry rushing here, you Are you sure you don't want to talk to me?"

At this moment, the smoke and dust rising from the galloping of hundreds of horses gradually fell down, and Stephen also saw thousands of infantry marching towards this side. At this moment, his heart was completely cold.

It is true that he can order the guards to break the wooden bridge and stick to Changhu Town, but how long can he hold it?
Do the more than 2000 residents of Changhu Town depend entirely on fishing?That's simply not realistic.

Moreover, if Allen is determined to attack Changhu Town, it will only be a matter of time if he loses it. He doesn't know how to deal with the two very obedient bears alone.

Mayor Stephen, who had been thinking for a long time, gave in, his voice was not as calm as it was at the beginning.

"Then~, I want to say, Master Allen, what do you want to talk about?"

Ai laughed when he heard it. At this time, he had brought his personal guards to the gate of Changhu Town. He knew that the mayor was behind the gate.

He smiled and said: "Hahaha, I really appreciate you, Mayor Stephen, I hope you can let Bud come out, and I will talk to him about the next thing."

"Then, that's fine"

Although the mayor was unwilling, he did not dare to refuse Allen's request.

He was just thinking frantically in his heart, what is it that is worth Allen pulling up such an army to besiege Changhu Town.

Soon, Bud appeared above the gate. He looked at Alan, who was fully armed at the gate, and then at the army on the shore of the lake.

He was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that this young man who questioned himself and said that he wanted to cooperate with him actually held such a powerful force.

But he is not Mayor Stephen after all, he has no fear, he is sure that it is impossible for Allen to attack Changhu Town, this is just a coercion of siege but not attack.

"I'm already here, Master Allen, let's talk, we want to talk about something."
