The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 6 James

When Allen and his party returned to the camp, it was already very late. God really gave Allen a lot of face today. Not only did it not rain, but the moon also showed its figure from the clouds. Everyone slowly took advantage of the moonlight. returned to the camp.

As soon as they returned to the camp, Allen arranged for everyone to rest, and then asked James to prepare food. Jamila and Desaiwei, who had worked hard all day, immediately refused, saying that they should prepare it.

Because there were too many people returning, counting the original soldiers in the camp, there were more than 150 people.

In the end, Duosili took a few village women to cooperate with Jamila, and used the half-cooked deer in Desaiwei at noon, served it with potatoes and cabbage, and cooked several pots of thick soup.

I also tried to heat up several large baskets of bread bought in Riva Cheze, and finally arranged a hot meal for everyone in a short time.

And Allen took advantage of the meal time to greet all his original troops to the marching tent in the camp, but at this time Desaiwei was doing security work, so she didn't come.

In fact, this camp of Alan is quite good, it covers an area of ​​hundreds of square meters, God knows how much golden dinars Alan's predecessor spent to build this camp.

From the outside, it looks like a fence surrounded by wooden boards more than one meter high, and inside is a mound of soil nearly one meter high, so that the guards of the camp can stand at a relatively high position and use bows and crossbows to attack more conveniently. attacking enemy.

There are wooden watchtowers on the southeast and northwest sides of the camp, from which you can observe the situation around the camp at a glance. Most of the time, the night watchmen will stay in these two places.

The gate of the camp is on the south side, facing south. In the center is a wooden hut for storing supplies and spare armor. There are several wooden carts around the hut.

On the west side is a row of stables, where all the horses of the entire team stay. There are some hay stored next to the stables for the horses to eat. A portion of the bean feed is stored in the hut.

On the east side were two large teepees, where the cavalry, archers, and all the males of Fatis slept.

In the center of the north side is the largest tent in the camp, the so-called marching tent, which is specially set aside for meetings to discuss the next move. The small tent where Allen rests is on the east and west sides of this big tent. It is where the women sleep and cook.

At this time, almost all the people gathered in the tent with soup in one hand and bread in the other. The tent was full of people, some people were sitting, some people were standing, the sound of chewing food, and the sound of drinking soup Filled the whole big tent.

Allen, who was sitting in the very center of the table, took a sip of the hot broth, "cough, cough" softly, glanced at the people who were gradually quieting down, and said the words he had prepared for a long time: "I'm very happy." I’m glad that my companions who followed me out to fight can come back alive, and I’m also very grateful to my companions who worked hard at home to guard the camp, everyone has worked hard.”

After he finished speaking, he paused, and continued: "I also thank you all for your brave and correct actions in critical moments, and for offering the long sword in your hand when I called. I would like to express my gratitude here."

He lowered his head and took a sip of the broth, put down the soup bowl in his hand, waved his hands and smiled, looked at the increasingly tense people and said, "Everyone, don't be so cautious, in fact, I don't want to say these weird words at all. , I just think that thanks to everyone, I should be more formal. Next, I have a few news to share with you. I think everyone is very curious about our current position and our future plans. It doesn’t matter. Next, I want to That's all it said."

At this time, there was a slight sound of drinking soup and chewing food in the tent, but it was not loud and did not affect Alan's speech.

Allen looked at the relaxed crowd and said:
"The first news is that this is not Calradia, not our hometown, and the time to go back is far away. I can only say that we will live here in a short time, or forever."

After speaking, there were slight exclamations in the tent one after another. Allen raised his hand, the sound stopped, and then he paused for a moment, trying to see if anyone wanted to ask questions.

It's a pity that no one has this idea, they are all looking at themselves, Allen can only continue: "The second news is definitely good news, that is, we are not alone, and it is not accidental that we suddenly appeared in this place , I now have a new ability, that is, every once in a while, I can bring a group of people who are willing to follow me, away from the continent where wars are frequent, and come to this place to live with us, all of them are from our hometown Calradia, you can also bring some weapons and supplies, but here I want to explain that it is not my behavior that we are here, I know this kind of thing is strange, but it is true."

In order to prove his words, Allen waved his hand casually, a little white light flashed, and a bag of wheat appeared on the table, but the strange thing is that everyone didn't show too much surprise at this kind of thing that changed into a living thing.

At this time, a Si Qi raised his left hand holding the bread, and asked cautiously: "Boss, can you bring my mother and my father here? I have saved a lot of money and I am going to spend it for them." Then Looking around at his companion who was staring at him, he lowered his head and muttered, "It doesn't matter if you can't."

Alan looked at the young man who followed him bravely to kill the enemy during the day, and returned: "My ability is not yet able to do such a thing, but I can use my honor to guarantee that if I can, I will definitely bring your parents here .”

Looking at the young man in front of him and nodding, Allen said the third news: "The next thing I want to say is also good news. I am no stranger to this place. I once read about it in a book. This place is quite far away from Calradia. The book also has a detailed description of our enemies today. They are called Orcs, and the locals generally call them half-orcs. Enemy. There is also a simple map attached to the book. I remember part of it. The location we are in is called the Great Wilderness. Of course, there are some other peace-loving intelligent species living here. In addition to the humans we brought back today, there are also dwarves, elves, etc. Some of them are different from us. I believe that everyone will have the opportunity to see them in the future of."

When Allen said this, he paused again, and scanned the crowd, hoping that someone would come out to ask a question and be a joke, but everyone in the tent looked at him quietly, even Kress and Ya Timan didn't have the slightest desire to ask questions.

No way, Allen had no choice but to continue: "Today we saved a large number of compatriots from the half-orcs. I am sure that the so-called half-orc king will not forget this so easily, so I have a few more Arrangements, everyone needs to go back and prepare."

Alan saw that the crowd had nothing to say, so he started to give his own order: "Fatis, I need you to divide all Siqi into two teams tomorrow, one team will be led by Desaiwei, and the other team will be led by you yourself." , and then one team went south, and the other went north, and kept scouting along the big river to see if there was any movement of large-scale enemy gathering on the other side of the river, or traces of wolf cavalry scouting. Report back immediately, okay?"

Fatis, who received the order, first nodded to show that he could, then thought of something, and said: "During the battle today, seven horses were injured and five horses were killed, and the horses are also very tired. It may be necessary to use the horses previously allocated to the marksman's team."

Allen waved his hand to show that there was no problem, and then said to Jamila: "Yamila, I need you to take care of the women and children rescued today, and I hope you can count their information and record them. We Now it’s no longer just a mercenary team. My initial idea is to find a good place in the surrounding area and build a village. I need your help for this job, and I also have some ideas in my mind about the approximate location. I need to go there tomorrow Check it out, we'll be moving tomorrow morning if time is fast enough."

Jamila nodded after listening, and said: "If our current food is only for our original people, it can last for half a month, but the number of people has suddenly increased by more than two times. Even if we arrange people to hunt and catch It is impossible for fish to persist for a long time, and food will be a big problem."

Allen told Jamila that this is not a problem, and Allen will find a way to take care of the food gap at that time.

Just like the sack of wheat on the table, Allen saw it when he exchanged it. A serving of wheat enough to feed 50 people for a day only costs 10 dinars, but it costs 30 dinars to replace it with bread. Salted fish It is 45 dinars, fresh beef even needs 100, and there are cabbage, apples, air-dried meat and other foods with different prices.

With the existing resources in Alan's hands, all of them can be exchanged for wheat, which is enough for all people to eat for more than a month. After one month, more ways to find food may be found, so Alan is not at all concerned about food. do not worry.

After discussing the issue of food, Jamila once again pointed out that there is not enough room to live in. Although there are some spare tents in the camp, they are not enough to accommodate all the people.

Jamila proposed to use the booty brought from the pirates' lair, a large cart of linen, and use linen and branches to make simple tents for everyone to live in temporarily, but if this is done, the linen will be defective , should not be able to trade anymore.

Allen said that these are not problems, as long as they can be taken care of temporarily.

"Then my lord, if there is nothing else, I will prepare first. Maybe they need to do a lot of work tonight." After obtaining Allen's consent, Jamila got up and left the tent. After all, her work was very cumbersome , There may not be enough time left for her to sleep today.

"Yatiman, Kress, Allen, the three of you will set off with me at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning and run north together. I need to confirm something there."

Seeing the three people nodding, Allen turned back to Bundak and said, "Bundak, I still need you to guard the safety of the camp. If, I mean, if Fatis or Desaiwei took After receiving the news that the enemy may attack, you must organize the guard work immediately, regardless of whether other people return or not, it is what you should do to guard the camp, understand?"

Bundak, who received the order, didn't say anything, but nodded to show that he understood.

Seeing Bundak nodded silently, Allen felt a little strange. In his impression, Bundak was not such a taciturn character. His character was a little bit cynical, plus a little bit cynical;
He has been a veteran in Rhodok for 20 years, and even became a sergeant, and then he was burned by three fires when the new officials took office, and he beat the nobles in the team. It seems that he should have an illegitimate child. , shouldn't it be like this now?
Wouldn't it have any effect on him if he couldn't go back?Could it be that his predecessor did something to him?Alan didn't understand, but Alan knew he couldn't ask more.

"If there are no other questions, everyone go down and get busy, Kress, and you will repeat what I said to Desaiwei later. If you have any questions, you can ask her to come to me. Okay, everyone, if there is nothing else , break up the meeting."

After speaking, Allen picked up the bread, dipped it in the warm broth, and started today's dinner, which was Allen's only meal all day today.

From Allen's point of view, the taste is indeed not very good, but at least it is warm, and Allen is indeed very hungry.

After Alan finished eating, he looked up and found that James was the only one left in the tent. James sat across the table, saw that Alan had finished eating, got up and poured Alan a bowl of water, and then Sitting next to Allen, he picked up his water glass and drank water, looked at Allen, and said lightly, "Allen, is there something wrong with you?"

Allen was startled, sprayed all the water on the table, and replied, "What?"

"What did you say?"

Allen's heart at this moment was as difficult to calm down as a stormy sea, and countless complicated thoughts flashed through him in an instant, even when he woke up in the morning, he had never been so flustered.

There was a smug smile on James's face, "I don't understand what's wrong? They can't see it, it's normal, you are Jamila's savior, and all her thoughts are on you, of course I know you don't have that This kind of thinking, you live under her eyes every day, and she may think it is normal no matter what you become; as for Fatis, as long as you are upright, kind, and willing to help those who are suffering, He has never doubted your orders; Desaiwei and Bandak recognize you as the master, as long as you still recognize this relationship, how can they doubt you? Aileen worships you, and Kress has no heart Just a little girl with lungs, but I'm different."

Saying this, James had a look of reminiscence on his face.

"We have known each other for a long time, Alan, and we have been together day and night for more than two years. I still clearly remember the scene when you rushed into my room with the injured Jamila on your back and called me to treat Jamila. After that, we started to be together Traveling, you at that time were very similar to now, polite to people, full of patience in communicating with people, after you kept saying that you were noble, I never doubted this, but compared to the nobles I have seen, You are too kind."

James said this, took a sip of water, thought for a while and continued: "You changed later. When, more than a year ago, when there were more and more people in the team? Your temper Becoming more and more irritable, acting more and more assertive, more taciturn and unwilling to communicate with others, of course you are still upright and kind, the team is getting better and better under your wise leadership, but the way you express The last time you scolded Kress, we all know that you are for her good, but even so, those words are too heavy, let alone the past, it is absolutely impossible for you yesterday to say today At night, there is a high probability that you will directly issue tasks, and you will not explain everything in such detail, and you will not pay attention to anyone's questions, and you will not allow others to have doubts about your orders, so you say, my friend , I suddenly saw you two years ago in you, shouldn't you give an explanation to your old friend?"

After listening to James' words, Allen was stunned for a long time, until James' face showed impatience.

Allen looked at James who was staring at him, sighed heavily, and said helplessly: "James, my friend, I think, I might, I mean, I should have amnesia .”

"Amnesia! Dementia?" James shouted in surprise.

"Is something wrong? My lord." Elaine's voice came from outside the tent.

"It's okay, James and I are discussing things."

Allen responded to Allen loudly, turned his head to James and whispered hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I don't remember all the things you said, I only remember the names of a few of you, remember The general situation of the team, I may still remember some irrelevant tasks, but I don’t remember the specific details at all, how we met, how we developed step by step to the present, these, these I almost forget , I don’t even remember the name of the guard at the gate, I don’t know what happened, what can I do? I can only walk step by step by my intuition.”

Allen said silently in his heart while talking: I'm sorry, James, I didn't want to lie to you, I really don't remember the things you said, after all, we are two people.

"Is it so serious?" James thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Could it be caused by your special abilities? I told you before that using such abilities must pay a lot of money." Ordinary price."

"Ah? What ability?" Allen was taken aback, I really don't know.

"You don't even remember this?"

James took a deep breath and said, "Okay, as a friend, it seems that I need to supplement your memory for you. Look at the fighters outside, are they fighting well? In fact, most of them Two years ago, they were all young men who were farming in the countryside. How could they become stronger fighters than noble private soldiers in just two years? It all depends on you. After every battle, some young men will always be killed. After you pick them out, they will become stronger in the white light and have richer combat experience. The next day you will give them the equipment that matches their strength. Look at those people outside, those horses, rely on us It is impossible to afford the money you earn as a mercenary, do you have any impression now?"

Fuck, was my previous hack so powerful?I don't want this emulator anymore, please return the previous plug-in to me!
Allen complained frantically about the simulator, but the expression on his face didn't change much. He nodded and said, "I still have this ability." It's just that it's not so easy to use, Allen said silently in his heart .

"Alan, I suggest that you use those abilities as little as possible in the future, it's dangerous, forget it," James shook his head himself, and continued: "I also know that I can't persuade you, but I hope you If anything happens in the future, especially when it comes to your body, you must take the initiative to tell me that I am a doctor and even more your friend!"

Facing James with a concerned face, Allen felt a little moved in his heart, and nodded involuntarily, expressing his understanding.

James sighed, and continued: "Go to bed early, more rest is good for your body, let me think about it, what is the treatment for the loss of soul disease, by the way, I will help you with this matter You keep it a secret, it's inappropriate for them to know these things now, not to mention I believe they will like you better now, so I won't bother you, good night."

After speaking, James walked out towards the door of the tent. Allen looked at James' back, breathed out quietly, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Suddenly James seemed to remember something, walked back again, said with a strange expression: "By the way, I think I should introduce myself again, my new friend, I am a priest, and more importantly, a priest. Doctor, you can ignore the previous profession, what I want to say is, if you have a chance, bring me some half-orc corpses, I want to do some research, you know."

"Huh? Oh, okay, I see."

Allen nodded to show that he understood, and James left the tent contentedly when he heard Allen agreed to his request.

Finally, it was fooled, and Allen kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, rejoicing in his heart, and then came up with a bold idea: Could it be that I really lost my memory, and I really traveled to Calradia ! !
