From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 38
The soldiers agreed with a loud bang, the sound of armor colliding was endless, the air of murder soared into the sky, and the birds in the sky were circling.

"Soldiers, I'm sorry to separate you from your families again, but I need you right now.

As the Baron of the Kingdom, I promise you in the name of the Black family, whether you live or die, as long as the flag of the Black family is still flying, your family will have no worries! "

Ryan raised the banner with the Black family emblem in his hand, and his voice pierced through the sky.

"De Lai, I obey your call." De Lai was also dressed in military uniform, he put his hand on his chest, knelt down on one knee, and said sonorously.

"We, heed your call." The soldiers knelt down in unison, and everyone present felt their hearts tremble.

When Ryan chose these soldiers, why didn't these soldiers choose Ryan? When they chose to lead their families to Ryan's territory, it had already explained everything.

Sterling and Amy stood in the yard watching this scene. Little Amy's eyes were full of little stars. At this moment, a seed had been quietly planted in his heart.

Sterling looked at Ryan's back, and a figure couldn't help but appear in his mind, slowly overlapping with it.It's very similar, but blue out of blue.

At this time, the butler Deman also brought the purchased horses and carriages, just waiting for Ryan's order!
He looked back at Sterling and said, "Teacher, the whole family is dependent on you.

Amy, you have to go back too, your father must be very worried. "

Sterling smiled. This is his mission and belief, so naturally he doesn't need to say more.

Looking up at Kailinman standing at the window on the second floor, Ryan gently waved goodbye. He had already made it clear last night, and there was no need to stage an inseparable parting scene.

Ryan pulled out the pioneer sword, pointed to the distant sky and said: "Let's go!"

Ham consciously stepped forward to take the flag, waved it lightly, and the team turned around in unison, boarded the horse or carriage, and started their new journey...

Because they were traveling lightly, there was not much baggage to drag them down, and there were carriages and horses, the team moved very fast.

On the first day alone, they traveled hundreds of miles. This was due to the uneven road and the limited speed of the carriage.Ryan first walked around to send Amy home, and then hurried on without leaving the saddle.

However, there are more than 200 people in the team, and there are more than ten horse-drawn carts. In addition to loading some food and supplies, Ryan and others have also considered a practical problem, that is, many people can't ride horses.

Equestrian skills take time to hone, and Ryan doesn't have so much time to wait for them to hone their skills slowly, so he chose to use the "money money ability" and directly use the carriage!
Although it made him a little bit heartbroken, it was all worth it.

From the central part to the southern border, the originally endless plains finally began to show some changes, with vast forests, groups of mountains, rushing rivers...the sun is shining brightly, and the scenery is beautiful.

The vast southern border is divided into five provinces, and the guardian is Grand Duke Brian Douglas. Because of the existence of this legendary knight, orcs and monsters have never really wreaked havoc in the southern border.

Ryan's fief is in Green Province, which is the least developed province in the entire southern border. Apart from the export of grain, timber and raw ore, there are almost no other economic pillars.

Coincidentally, the Marlton family of Cheers is in the same county as the Khanna Territory. If Ryan hadn't chosen this place himself, he really doubted whether Cheers was behind it.

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing...

The troops marched for eight or nine days in a row, and finally crossed several provinces and entered the border of Linton County. After entering here, the forest was obviously denser, and the population was relatively sparse.

Linton County is one of the few large counties in terms of area, but its population is less than 40. There is still a lot to be reduced.

"Lei, as long as we pass through this forest, we will be able to reach Doman City, the only city in Kanna." De Lai took a sip of the cold water in his skin, and pointed to the dense forest ahead.

The climate in most parts of the southern border is warm and humid, and the vegetation is very dense. There are countless snakes, insects, rats and ants, and you can imagine what is going on in the river with your toes.

So since arriving in the southern border, Ryan ordered the soldiers to forbid drinking raw water, it must be boiled.He didn't want to see these soldiers being brought down by various parasites or diseases without even seeing the orcs.

"Well, if the speed is faster, we don't need to camp out tonight, warriors, speed up the march!" Ryan's tired face showed a look of joy, the high-intensity march during this period made everyone very tired... …

What Ryan didn't know was that somewhere in the forest at this moment, a group of ugly green-skinned creatures were feasting.They were nearly two meters tall, with dark green skin, well-developed muscles, sharp fangs, and crude leather armor or animal skins.

They held pieces of unknown meat in their hands, and they kept biting with bloody mouths.

There were about forty people sitting around the fire, among which orcs accounted for a small half, and more were bound humans. Their hands and feet were tightly tied, and they looked at the flesh in the hands of those orcs on the ground in fear. .

The meat was the same as they were an hour ago.

(Orc language): "Haven't you found it yet? Shaman-sama doesn't have much time for us, and the food is almost gone."

"No, are there any human gathering places around? We need supplies." An orc who seemed to be the leader said while chewing on a leg bone.

"I haven't found it yet..."

The orc language was very complicated and difficult to understand. The captured people didn't know what they were talking about, but their intuition told them that it must be a bad thing.

For a time, fear enveloped everyone.

Hevian lay on the ground, seeing the fierce light in the eyes of those orcs getting more and more intense, he couldn't help feeling a little desperate. It seemed that he was going to be the food of these beasts today.

Thinking about everything he had encountered in the past two days, Hevian felt as if he had gone through hell. There were nearly 200 people in his village.

But it was only a short time before it was attacked by these twenty orcs, and the organized militia was tortured/killed without causing any damage at all.

In the end, the village was looted, and the village fled in all directions, but as the village head, he was captured alive after leading people to death.

Originally, there were more than 30 people captured by them, but now, there are only a dozen or so left. If there is no accident, he will be the next meal.

After eating the food in their hands, the orcs put out the fire and drove the captives to continue searching for something.

What they don't know is that a human team is not far away from them.

"Ray, there's black smoke over there." Sitting on the horse, Allen inadvertently caught a glimpse of black smoke rising not far away.
