MTL - Medieval Empire Soldier-Chapter 6 6. Conversation before leaving the outpost

  Chapter 6 Six · Dialogue before leaving the outpost

  After breakfast, Raven and the others are members of the second team. They need to leave the outpost and go to the Drakovald Forest outpost to patrol. In some places, they need to be stationed for a while.

   Berg Post is divided into two teams each week, each team consists of 3 Sword and Shield Soldiers, 2 Spearmen, 4 Bowmen and 2 Heralds.

When    encounters an enemy, the patrol will send a pioneer rider back to the outpost, and the outpost pioneer rider will report to the Bray Town garrison.

  When the number of enemies increases or emergencies occur, the second pioneer cavalry of the patrol will be dispatched immediately, thus alternating back and forth to ensure continuous updates of wartime intelligence.

  The imperial army has experienced wars, big and small, and it is systematic in the overall arrangement of the military. It is only the deceit and concealment of the imperial officials that lead to many mistakes in the army's actions, such as untimely scheduling.

  Lyren stood at one end of the suspension bridge of the outpost, watching a group of people pulling a carriage on the road in the distance, and quickly headed to the Dracowald Forest. In the distance, Little Raven waved at him.

   After a few minutes, the patrol completely disappeared into the forest.

  Each patrol is full of dangers, there are endless beasts and forest greenskins, and they will die in the black forest if they are not careful.

  The reason why several recruits including Laylen were transferred to Berg Post was because when the Norsca invaded in the spring, the beastmen of Del Kovald Forest took the opportunity to burn, kill and loot, causing serious damage to the posts.

  There are rumors that on the day of the evil moon, some marginal villages in the north were destroyed, livestock and villagers disappeared, and even houses were crushed to powder.

   A survivor who claimed to have seen a giant spider the size of a church was later burned at the stake by a witch hunter for publicly spreading Chaos rhetoric.

When    turned around and returned to the outpost, Laren noticed that someone was watching him secretly, raised his head, and just looked at the veteran Abarth on the fence, who looked away, looking lazily.

   For a month, Lailen also noticed that Abarth was different. He talked less, only did what he should do, did everything casually, and was not afraid of things.

   And that guy Maz has a natural hostility towards Abarth. The two of them don't communicate at all, and a few soldiers don't bother him.

   It is said that Abarth is the oldest soldier in Berg outpost. Captain Toka used to be a guard under a military nobleman. He came here after the Norsca invasion and was just transferred.

  Lauren doesn't care who pays attention to him, as long as it doesn't affect him, he will ignore it.

   He is more concerned about how to make the Hiram Warhammer that was drawn last night "justifiably" appear?

   Conjured a warhammer out of thin air, saying it was a blessing from Sigmar?

If   Lyren did this, I am afraid that the next day a witch hunter would come all the way to take him away.

   Especially the Flare Magic, which is a hot "torch".

   The strength of the ban on magic in the empire can be described as abnormal. If a child from a common family awakens his magic ability one night and manipulates a flame in a novel way to play in front of his parents, he will definitely be caught and burned to death.

  Lyren didn't want to be trapped by the system at all.

   There is no reasonable explanation. The thing the system gives is a bomb that will detonate at any time. If you are not careful, you will "die" directly in the empire.

   "There's a way!", Lallen had an idea. "Look for an opportunity to visit Bray Town and use the Sigma Church to come to "God's Grace", won't the matter be resolved? If you are lucky, you can get a lot of piety points!"

   With an idea, Lallen was ready to leave Berg Post.

  Toka, the captain of the outpost, is worried in the second-story wooden house.

  The weather in the north is low, and it has just arrived in autumn. In the early morning, the field is covered with frost.

  In the fireplace at one end of the room, the roaring flames crackled the firewood.

   Toka leaned on the wooden chair and slammed the paper in his hand on the table in front of him. Several manuscripts and a large number of receipts were shot flying up, and the bottle of Imperial beer on the table was shaken by the shock.

  The scattered paper manuscripts are about the outpost army's salaries, food reserves, and more are Toka's own "bonds".

"Damn Adol Overland, it's only been a few days for me to fill the hole with 50 silver coins? You want me to send someone to pay him off after losing 40 silver coins? Dreaming!" Toka slapped the table angrily.

   Most of his money was invested in the carriage and horse business. The most popular professional group in the northern part of the empire, apart from the priests of the major churches, was the second most popular professional group than the carriage and horse merchants.

The climate of the northern province limits economic development and the variety of commodities. People in the north are struggling with food and clothing. On the other hand, people in the south live more prosperously and are relatively safe; the Royal Academy of Altdorf has done a ranking of imperial cities, among which, except for the selection of northern cities, Outside the main city of the duchy of the emperor, the remaining cities are all in the south, which shows the gap between the north and the south.

  The chariot and horse merchants control a large number of caravans, transporting goods and selling goods between the north and the south, and at the same time bringing new events and anecdotes, they form one after another to divide the interests.

  The huge profits made countless nobles join it, and ordinary people with a little financial resources would invest in a certain chamber of commerce at the first time.

Toka is one of the "leeks" who have no brains to follow the trend. The biggest risk is borne by them. The caravan he invested in the last time was attacked by ogres in the wild of Aiwei. The goods were completely lost, and the guards also died. Clean and tidy.

   "Sir, what's the matter?" The pioneer cavalry outside the door pushed open the door, hesitated, and asked.

   "It's none of your business! Get out!" Toka waved impatiently, which made him feel irritable.

   lowered his head and picked up a note. Toka noticed that the Pioneer Horseman was still standing there, and shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Didn't you hear me when I asked you out?"

   "Sir. Lallen is here." Said the Pioneer Knight

   "Laylen? What's he doing here?" Toka frowned.

   Yesterday, that guy was so powerful, will he take the initiative to find him today?

   The pioneer rider continued: "He said he had something to ask for, Sir, and wanted to talk to you face to face."

  Toka shouted angrily: "Let him get out! Just say I'm not free!"

   As soon as he finished speaking, Toka suddenly stopped the cavalry outside the door, "Wait, did that guy say why?"

   "He said he was going to go to Bray Town to do some business and drop by the church to pray." The voice outside the door replied.

  Toca narrowed his eyes and tugged at his beautiful mustache, "Let him in."

"Yes."

   Soon, there was a crunching sound of wooden boards outside the room, and after a while, Lallen pushed open the door and walked in.

  Lyren nodded slightly, "Captain Toka."

   Toka glanced at the pioneer cavalry outside the door, the latter understood it, and moved slightly to the door.

   "What are you doing leaving the outpost and going to Braytown?" Toka stared gloomily at Lallen's face.

  Lairn didn't have any dodge in his eyes, and said in a flat tone: "Personal affairs, sir, it seems that you don't have the right to know the reason, right?"

   "But the soldier has the duty to answer the question from the commander!" Toka snorted coldly and said bluntly: "Laylen, don't think that it's great that you showed your prestige yesterday, there are many ways to make you disappear."

   "But, I'm standing in front of you, Captain Toka." Lallen replied **** for tat, "I'm alive and well."

  "Humph" Toca raised the corners of his mouth, reached out and poured himself a glass of beer, the white foam overflowed the mouth of the glass, and the aroma of wheat diffused in the room.

He raised his head and drank a large glass, Toka leaned comfortably on the seat, with his elbows on the armrests, "It's normal for young people to be arrogant and arrogant, and every imperial general made mistakes when he was young, Marshal Culber. Haven't disobeyed a military order once,"

  Lyren frowned, heard the meaning of the words, and said lightly: "I just don't want to see others bullying me. Maz is lying on the bed now, and he created the end himself."

   "I'll take care of Maz's business, fair and just. Also, I can let you go to Bray Town, but on one condition." Toca stood up, poured a glass of stout, and handed it out.

  Lairn took the wooden wine glass and glanced at the beer foam in the glass, "Tell me, it's up to me to accept it or not."

   "I like to communicate with smart people, Lallen." Toka smiled and said generously: "There is a car dealer in Bray Town I owe him some silver coins."

   "Your condition is to let me kill? That's it."

"No no no, Laren, you misunderstood me." Toka crossed his hands and fingers and said word by word, "Go help me send him a letter and give you a small reward, 10 silver coins, you see How about it?"

   "Giving so much money, I don't feel safe." Lallen asked alertly, "Is it dangerous?"

   "People's hobbies are always peculiar, Lallen." Toka said casually: "Rich people more or less like to do weird things, and some sound very perverted."

He scratched his head and paused for a moment: "I need the businessman you're looking for, he's temperamental, the last guy who delivered the letter for me had his legs broken by him and was thrown into the sewer. I've been looking for him for more than a month. "

   "I found out later that the unlucky guy had all his limbs broken, and was crying alone in the sewer. It took a long time for him to die." Toka shrugged and said.

   Laren's brows tightened, "You just don't care?"

   "Manage? Why should I?"

Toka seemed to have heard a funny joke and grinned: "If he hadn't sent a letter and won more than 200 gold coins worth of supplies for more than 100 people in four outposts, all the soldiers of our Berg outpost would have been there. slaughtered in a **** beastman raid."

The   post officer sat down, took a sip of beer, and sighed, "That unlucky guy is our hero."

   The blackness between his brows deepened a little, and he clenched his fists. He never imagined that such a devastating thing would happen on the frontier of the empire.

   "You shouldn't be sitting here comfortably burning a fire, Toka, the gallows are tailor-made for people like you!" Lallen said in a low voice.

   "The gallows? Haha." Toka couldn't help laughing, he laughed and looked at Layen with a playful look, without saying much.

   "Do you know how much the pension of an ordinary fallen soldier is? I tell you, no more than this amount."

Speaking, Toka stretched out three fingers and continued: "30 silver coins, this is still the best situation, if the guys above are more greedy, the families of the fallen soldiers can get 15 silver coins, they Thank you Sigma!"

   "Do you know how much pension I gave to that unfortunate guy?" Toca paused, looked straight at Laren in front of him, and motioned him to guess.

   Seeing Lailun's silence, Toka stretched out four fingers and said word by word: "40 gold coins, that is, 400 silver coins, 4000 copper coins!"

   "A human life is only worth 40 gold coins to you?" Lailun didn't want to talk anymore, he couldn't help but wanted to grab the guy in front of him dressed in a monkey suit and beat him hard.

   "I gave that guy's family money that I can't make in my lifetime, two or even three lifetimes! Are these not enough?" Toka asked, tilting his head.

   The fireplace in the room was burning vigorously, and the temperature was dissipated by the cold words.

"Layen, you're still young and have too little access to power." Toka raised his eyes and glanced at Layen, waved his hand, and poured two more beers, "When you climb to my position, you will see He drives many things, everything has price, belief, honor, and even human life.”

   "Help me deliver this letter, I allow you to go to Bray Town, let's make a deal?"

"Give you 5 more silver coins, let's make a deal, this is my last condition." Toka paused, "As for Maz and the others, I will deal with them. When you leave, I will let them lose some money. And then publicly apologize to the other recruits."

  To be honest, Laylen didn’t want to send this letter. Toka had already made it clear that there would be great risks, but he did not agree with his request, and he couldn’t leave the outpost.

  Absconding without permission is a capital offense.

   "Give me 20 silver coins now, or I'll give up going to Bray Town."

  Toca hesitated, then grinned: "Everyone has a price, we'll deal."

  Lyren held the letter, and just walked out of the room, the system panel immediately jumped out.

  【+30 experience points. 】

  Toka's remarks cannot be said to be completely wrong. The experience gained by a lower-ranking officer in the Empire after most of his life is somewhat reasonable.

  A little episode, Lallen didn't feel sad, just a heartfelt resistance to this kind of thing.

   If faced with a choice in the future, would you choose interests and ignore human life?

  Lyren can't tell.

   Let Maz and a few people bow their heads and apologize to the recruits. This move will undoubtedly bring him a lot of piety, and it is getting closer and closer to the 50 piety reward.

   With all his money, his uniform, and his weapons, Lallen left Berg Post and headed east.

  The sentry soldiers on the fence also got the news and lowered the drawbridge.

  Looking around, the village settlements are vaguely visible in the wilderness. Looking around, there are more uninhabited wastelands, dense forests, swamps and hills.

Not long after    went out, a group of soldiers moved out of a traveling horse and chased after him, handing the reins to Lallen.

  Laylen held the reins in his hand and hesitated: "For me?"

   "This is what Abate meant. He told you to be careful along the way." After saying this, the soldier turned and ran back to the outpost.

  Abate still has this right? Lallen was surprised

   A figure stood on the fence of the outpost in the distance, and Lailun knew that the man was staring at him.

   "Everyone has a little secret."

   He got on his horse, sat in the saddle, and ran along the east path.

   Ask for tickets and collections!

  The chapter was blocked yesterday and was not sent out in time. I am busy with work until now.
