Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

At this moment, the general nodded and said, "If the Northern Expeditionary Army can regain their homeland, your excellency will surely be remembered in history. Leoric, I will report this matter to the king."

"Just follow the arrangement." Leoric brought the horse back with just a little effort, and he really didn't want to cause such a big commotion.

At this time, another bearded man in armor came over and said, "I am Growen! Captain of the Cavalry, Leoric, I am here to express my heartfelt thanks to you! With these horses , the iron cavalry group is worthy of the name!" He saluted as he said.

"You don't have to be polite, leader. This is my job. You just need to kill a few more enemies, and it's considered a reward for me." Leoric returned the salute.

"This is what a soldier should look like!" Growin was a straightforward person. He gave Sir Milan a hard look and said, "I don't want certain Sirs!"

Sir Milan's face darkened and he did not speak.

Seeing this scene, the general suddenly said: "Sir Milan, [-] new horses have arrived and need stables and high-quality food and grass. Can you do this?"

As soon as Growen heard the general's words, his face darkened immediately, and he said, "Why do you still let him do it?"

The general signaled Growin to be silent.Immediately asked Sir Milan, said: "Is it possible?"

Sir Milan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded vigorously, and said, "Okay, just give it to me!"

Because Leoric didn't know the previous plot, he was at a loss. In fact, not only him, but others also didn't understand the general's intentions.The general didn't explain it either, so let it go.However, a week later, Sir Milan unexpectedly obtained high-quality grain and grass, and quickly built a stable, and the affordable price made the logistics chief not believe his ears for a while.

There are different opinions on this matter. Some say that Sir Milan finally realized his conscience and began to do good deeds. Some say that he did it to fight against Leoric. Some people say that the general reached an agreement with him in private. deal... But anyway, there are stables and food.Then Shia sent people to build new waterwheels and canals, bringing water from the upper Trident River to feed the horses.

The wild horses are used to eating and sleeping in the open, and they have never lived such a good life. The forage is the best, and there are fruits and vegetables for extra meals. Each person has a small shed to shelter from the wind and rain.And in order to ensure the health of the horse's legs and feet, a special craftsman was invited to repair the horse's shoe and nail the horseshoe... The only regret is that the horse king is not enough, and eight hundred mares are divided into one Mo Tready. After a few days, Mo Tread It's so thin that it doesn't look like a horse.

A few days later, Leoric said earnestly, "Why don't you castrate you, I heard that castrated horses will be stronger and more powerful and live longer..."

"Why don't you be eunuched!" cried Mortread, who was as jerky as horsemeat, "I can still fight, don't stop me!"

In the end, for the sake of its health, Leoric and Shia decided to imprison Mortride.

Leoric had no interest in horse training, so he left it to Shia and Growin of the Iron Armor Corps to handle the matter.To be honest, he felt that bringing in cavalry would not be of much help to the current battle situation. He heard that the barbarians were gathering troops to counterattack and try to take back Wild Wolf City.Then our next step is to defend the city. Cavalry seems to be useless when attacking and defending the city...

Leoric has been busy with his own affairs in the past few days, such as reviewing the truths he has learned, practicing martial arts, continuing to teach Shia about swordsmanship, oh, and regularly looking for Fu for physical examinations.Now Fu stares at him very closely, almost becoming his personal physician.The little nun said that if she didn't keep an eye on her, she might run away again one day.

During the period, he took a look at the training situation of the war horses. Generally speaking, people on the plateau are very professional in training horses, so there is no need for Leoric to worry about this matter.The general specially encircled a place in the south of the city as a racetrack to train cavalry. Until now, the fact that there are horses in the city is still a military secret.

Leoric also used horse language to communicate with these members of Mortread's harem, and everyone was quite satisfied with their new life. The mares said: Letting a horse ride is riding, and letting people ride is also riding, and people are lighter, which is good.Besides, there is no need to worry about eating and drinking in this place, and there is a stable for sleeping, which is much better than the wild, at least there is no need to worry about the threat of jackals, tigers and leopards.

There are a few mares that have been trained well and can be used within two days.Shia happened to be patrolling the city and needed horses, so she and Leoric asked for one.The two rode for a walk in the city, Shia sighed and said, "Eight hundred cavalry, Leoric, you got eight hundred cavalry."

Leoric said, "Yeah, that makes the Cavaliers worthy of their name."

Hearing this, Shia's face was not happy, but she sighed——Yes, with cavalry reserves like the cavalry regiment, these good horses are no longer for me.

Shia Reque dreamed of leading an order of knights—who wouldn't?Knights are the dream of plateau people, and knight commander is the dream position of all soldiers.Generals may not have the prestige of the head of the Knights.If Duke Leigui knew that his daughter had become the head of the Knights, he would definitely smile.

But after thinking about it, these horses are basically assigned to the cavalry regiment now.Shia only got a ten-man scouting cavalry, okay, better than nothing.

Shia shook her head and stopped thinking about things that had nothing to do with her.Before Leoric noticed anything strange, she changed the topic and said, "Hey, the scouts from the other day said that the enemy convoy passed by in the northwest..."

The two chatted while patrolling, and it passed for a while.

In the evening, Leoric went back to his private ward to eat the sick meal that Fu cooked for him alone—yes, although he is now in good health, he is a wounded person in Fu's eyes, and once this little girl said If you are injured, even if you perform a triathlon for her face to face, she will not think you are a healthy person.

"Leoric, you must, take a good rest! Eat well!" She would remind Leoric very sternly every day.

At this time, Leoric was thinking about how to die next while eating, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The door opened slowly, and a face that Leoric didn't expect appeared at the door.

That was Growin, the head of the cavalry regiment.

Leoric stood up and said, "Captain Growin, why are you here? Please sit down."

Growen stood motionless at the door and did not speak.

"Captain?"

"Uh..." Growen didn't say until his face turned pale, "I have an unspeakable secret and I want to discuss it with Your Excellency!"

"Unspeakable secrets?" Leoric blinked, "It's useless to find me for this kind of thing, you should find a doctor!"

Chapter 21: Three major illusions in life

Growin touched his head, and said awkwardly: "It doesn't work to find a doctor..."

Leoric thought to himself: Oh, that's right, the little girl Funa must not be able to cure male diseases, even if she can cure an uncle like Growen, she is too embarrassed to go.But, will it work if you find me?

Leoric said: "If you really have no one to talk to, then you can talk to me, but I've said it before, and I probably can't help you with this matter."

The head of the cavalry regiment sighed and said, "Just listen to it if you want."

Then he sat down at the table and said, "It's about those horses from before..."

Leoric frowned—huh?It's not about your apricot dysfunction, is it?What is the unspeakable secret about the horse!

Then General Growin talked about the "unspeakable secret" about himself.

In fact, this matter is quite simple. Leoric found [-] war horses for the Northern Expedition Army, and then the general will assign knights to these war horses.So who do these babies belong to?The commanders of all major legions want it, and it can be said that they broke their heads for these horses.The head of the Bloodspear regiment said that our legion is strong and has a large number of people, so we must be right; the warrior regiment said that we should come, our soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and they are good at using long spears, so they are suitable for transformation into cavalry; But the leader of the Yu Warriors refused to agree, saying, Leoric is coming to our regiment?Since he is a member of our regiment, the horse he found must be our share, right?

After arguing like this, the heads of the group talked more and more, and almost broke into a fight.At this time, Growin of the Iron Cavalry came out and said: "Everyone, although the soldiers in our regiment are not the best at fighting, they are definitely the best at riding horses. Since the establishment of the Iron Cavalry, it has followed the rules of the cavalry regiment. The specs are working, there's just been no horses."

"Assuming that the legion is an individual, then the iron cavalry is a disabled person, and we are missing a leg."

"And these eight hundred horses are our other legs!" he said excitedly.

"Giving these horses to you is equivalent to letting a healthy person hold a sharp sword."

"But if you give it to us, it's like connecting the leg to the lame man! Our regiment is considered a normal army!"

"General! Do you still remember why the iron cavalry regiment was formed in the first place!" Speaking of this, Growen burst into tears, half of which were acting out, and half of which were true feelings.

General Akkad nodded and said: "Yes, of course I remember. That, fellow regiment leaders, it's not that I prefer the cavalry regiment, but from an objective point of view, this horse can improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry regiment the most, and only they These cavalry reserves can best utilize the power of these high-quality war horses. I can also understand everyone's desire for cavalry, after all, people in the plateau love horses. Don't worry, we now have a horse farm, stallions and mares, and then In about three years, everyone will be able to ride our own horses..."

In short, with the help of the general, Growin wanted to bring these [-] horses.That night, he excitedly ate four more breads, two sets of barbecue burritos and a big bowl of soup. The soldiers in the army also came to celebrate him, saying that the leader of the army is wise and mighty, and that eight hundred horses are coming. developed!

This time, the iron cavalry group became a veritable "knight group", and the porters became cavalrymen, and their status in the world rose sharply, from the fourth class to the first class.It is also easier for the cavalry to make meritorious deeds. In the future, they will become rich and get rich and marry a princess as a consort... It is almost a dream to wake up with laughter.

The next morning, Growin was very excited and began to select knights and train horses.However, after a few days, Growin discovered a very embarrassing thing:

His legion couldn't digest these eight hundred horses!

The Growen Legion is full of 900 people, but these 900 people cannot all be used to fight, and there are only six to 700 people who can really ride horses.Moreover, the cavalry is too delicate a unit, and someone has to take care of it, feeding the horses, maintaining armor, weapons, harnesses, horseshoes, logistics...there can't bear such a big pressure, and the cavalry regiment has to find a way by itself, so Growin could only turn some soldiers into logistics personnel to serve the knights.In the end, Growin's legion could only support four hundred cavalry!

At this time, Growin said to Leoric sadly: "Four hundred cavalry, only four hundred! I have eight hundred horses, but I can only form a cavalry regiment of 400. The remaining four hundred What about the war horse? I can’t return it, right? If I give it back to the general, it’s a slap in the face of his old man, and I’m living up to his expectations of me; if I distribute it to other legions, I’ll be disgraced myself, so... "

Leoric frowned and said, "So you want me to take over?"

"Uh, I can't say that. It's just that the general and I think you are suitable for leading troops. Besides, you found this horse in the first place. It is very suitable for you to lead a cavalry regiment. So, what do you think, Leoric?"

Leoric thought for a while and said, "Let me think about it. It's too late today. I'll go talk to the general myself tomorrow."

Growin stood up and said, "All right, all right, hey, Leoric, don't tell anyone about this, I'm... embarrassing."

"Hmm, don't worry."

……

Leoric found the general early the next morning and told him about it.General Akkad nodded, and said: "Leoric, I do have the idea of ​​asking you to form a cavalry regiment. Don't worry about manpower and financial resources. I will allocate them to you from the reinforcements sent by the king. "

Leoric said, "I'm sorry, General, but I'm afraid I will fail your expectations this time."

The general asked, "Aren't you willing to do it?"

Leoric said, "I still want to join God's Blessed Knights."

I'm not a damn cavalry captain!The cavalry of the people on the plateau is the most precious. If a cavalry dies, the general will feel as distressed as a dead mother, so the cavalry loss rate must be the lowest.I have to go to the most deadly God's Bless Warriors!Don't even try to give me this cavalry regiment.

The general said: "Are you sure? Commanding a cavalry regiment is everyone's dream. You can think about it again."

"I'm going to join the God's Blessed Warriors!" Leoric said.

The general tapped his fingers on the table, looking thoughtful, and said, "Then the remaining four hundred war horses... have to be ridden by someone."

The general obviously didn't want to hand over the horses to other legions. He had more considerations than the head of the iron cavalry regiment: firstly, as the coach, he couldn't go back and forth again and again; relationship; the most important thing is that the general is actually afraid of these army commanders.Some legions are already very powerful. If they have cavalry in their hands, the power may exceed the general's control...

At this moment, Leoric said, "How about I recommend someone?"

"Who?"

"Shea is good." Leoric said.

The general asked, "Why do you recommend her?"

Because I don't know anyone else!

Of course you can’t say that, Leoric pondered for a while, and said: “Because Shia is overqualified now, I think she, as the daughter of Duke Lei Kui, must have received a good education, and she is also the number one swordsman here, considered civil and military. Both are perfect. Such a powerful person, just do chores all day? I think it’s no problem for her to lead the Knights.”

The general murmured: "But if Shia goes to lead the Knights, no one can do her original job..."

Leoric recalled the past, and said: "Shea didn't have many jobs, but she did all the work of the legion commanders. You just need to let those sneaky people go to work and be themselves." Even if Shia changes jobs, there will be no vacuum here. Moreover, Shia is not a member of any legion, so if she leads troops, she can stop the mouths of those legion leaders."

"That makes sense." The general nodded, then looked at Leoric's face, and said, "Leorick, don't you really think about doing an errand by my side? You have to go to the front line to fight." ?”

Leoric gave a military salute and said, "For me, there is nothing more important than going into battle and killing the enemy."

……

Probably not long after Leoric left, Shia came to the general's office.

Shia asked: "General Akkad, what do you want from me?"

The general asked straight to the point: "Xia, now there are [-] extra cavalry, are you willing to bring them?"

Shia couldn't help her eyes light up when she heard this, and said, "Me? Why did you ask me to bring it?"

The general waved his hand and said, "Don't ask me why, but would you like to bring these four hundred cavalry?"

Shia nodded repeatedly, and said, "Yes! How can you not? Who on the highlands doesn't want to be a knight." Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered the hero who brought eight hundred horses, and said, "General, then you Did you ask Leoric?"

The general smiled and said, "I originally wanted him to bring it, but he recommended you."

"It was Leoric who recommended me..."

Oh... Leoric, he obviously can be the head of the Knights, but he chose to give up this honor to me?Could it be because...he saw my thoughts that day?

Shia recalled the time when the two of them rode horses together, and she remembered that she did show a look of loneliness at that moment, but she quickly changed the subject.Had Leoric noticed such a subtle change in my face?If that is the case, it means that he is paying attention to me all the time!

He cares so much about me, if he rounds it up...

He likes me! ?

Miss Shia, who had committed the three major illusions of life, immediately blushed with excitement, and said, "General, please wait a moment, I'm going to find Leoric!" office.

The general supported his head with one hand and sighed, "It's nice to be young..."

At this time, Leoric was reading novels in his room. There was really no entertainment in this world, and the only thing left to fill his empty mind was reading.There is a saying that "the country is unfortunate and the poet is lucky." When the country is hated and the family hates, poets or writers are the easiest to sing generously, and the famous works that have been passed down through the ages come out on the hour.From a latitude point of view, as a hard-working nation driven from Russia to Southeast Asia, plateau people can be said to be extremely unfortunate. Therefore, many writers or poets have emerged in the past 200 years.

At this moment, Leoric was holding a book called "Dream of the Blue Tower", which told some fantasy stories about a girl who was parasitized by nightmares in her dream.Leoric affectionately called this book "The Dream of the Brothel".

At this moment, seeing the critical moment, that "Nightmare" was unbuttoning his trouser belt to try to misbehave, Shia suddenly opened the door and shouted: "Leoric!"

Leoric felt guilty after reading the little porn book, and was immediately taken aback. After he saw that the person who came was Xi Ya, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xia? Why are you here?"

"I'm here for the Knights." Shia looked very excited, she was panting, and even her neck was red.

Leoric nodded, pulled a chair for her to sit down, and said, "What? You don't want to do it either?"

Shia quickly said: "No! I don't think I can receive your favor like this, Leoric, I haven't had time to thank you for teaching me swordsmanship, and now you..." She didn't know what to say for a while .

Leoric said, "What's the matter?"

"Give me this honor that should belong to you again." She whispered.

Shia kneaded the corner of her clothes, her expression was very disturbed, she said: "I can't owe you favors over and over again."

Leoric smiled and said, "How can this be considered a debt of favor? I just gave the right advice to the general at the right time."

Shia shook her head and said, "No, no one would choose to be the centurion of the God's Bless Knights instead of being the head of the Knights."

Leoric said: "I said that I want to be able to kill the enemy with my own hands..."

"No, if you want to go into battle and kill the enemy, shouldn't you be a knight? A knight will charge the enemy's infantry in pieces. If you lead a cavalry regiment, you can kill more people! Leoric, your reason Can't stand."

Leoric was taken aback—my reason doesn't hold water?What's the meaning?

Shia looked really excited at this moment, so excited that Leoric began to suspect that she had other ideas.Leoric continued to think along this line of thought, and he thought: My reason is untenable, which means that Shia suspects my motive for joining the God's Blessed Warriors!Could it be that Shia discovered something?Ah, it seems that I have been brought back to life too many times recently, making everyone suspicious!No, no, what should I do...

Leoric must not reveal his secret, otherwise there will be more troubles in the future.

At this time, I need to find a reason to fill in the past, but how should I say it?Leoric couldn't think of a better excuse.
