Chapter 171 Sistine
Shudo and Salia walked continuously for three days, from the Shudo observed trace, he is away from the refugee team that front Henry leads to be getting more and more near, has differed less than the half-day distance to the present.
Shudo slowed down the speed of march all the way desirably, to monitor to have evading arrest zombie to pursue, but looks like the Forbidden Incantation effect of Salia release is extremely as if formidable, did not have the situation that other undead pursue until now, but Athena sensing also indicated, in nearby ten kilometers scopes any undead has not appeared.
In the place that having the plant has, Athena sensing ability can say is unparalleled in the world.
Shudo looks up, a skies sunshine, several white clouds have fluttered, the late autumn wind is swaying the face slightly, has satisfaction of not being able saying that the tip of the nose is that light fragrant grass is fragrant, path both sides started to present the farmland of several nobody left, looked, one piece of shiny golden, was actually the wheat that has not harvested with enough time.
Scarecrow alone standing in wheat field, a tattered straw hat wears on the head, standing that several crows do not have scruples on the arm of scarecrow, seemed ridiculing anything.
Four nobody left, not far away log cabin and hamlet do not have the trace that the smoke from kitchen chimneys or anybody moves, occasionally several wild dog type wild animals run, the appearance seems is actually very spirited.
Sees these, Shudo nodded actually, Henry possibly encountered the villagers who attacked along the way one and brings in the team to see that here all villages as if did not have the armed forces, Shudo carefully to look at these already has harvested the wheat field short stubble and stalks are very moist, moreover majority of wheat harvesting was not neat, some places simply have not even harvested.
This should after Henry arrived here levies grain taxes to serve as the military baggage to cause urgently.
Put out the water bag to let ride Salia on horseback to drink one satisfactory, the Shudo borderland plug, looks at the distant place saying: „Lia, we must pick up speed, today before the darkness, should be able to overtake them.”
„En! Also can see Elder Sister Nana! Hee hee, I also know secret that she does not know, hehe......”
The little misses remember her Sister Nana not to know that Athena is the Unicorn matter, at heart one share proud feeling, because this matter is she knows first, this made the little miss be possible to go bad happily, the happy all day corners of the mouth were curling upwards.
She may want to know when Sister Nana hears this news surprised appearance!
Shudo smiles, has not said anything, immediately tying a belt and cape on clothes is tight, started running.
Athena neighed, accelerated to surpass Shudo in the Salia's screams suddenly, Salia understood immediately the Athena intention, cheered with a smile, has left behind one joyful laughter.
„your highness! Your clothes.”
Accompanies lightly just burnt the good military uniform one set with the ironing tool that accompanying the armed forces to carry, both hands holds has been putting on Stu nearby table.
„Knew, draws back.”
Stu waved, after accompanying to withdraw from tent to start to change that sets clean clothes, because in marching, Stu all conforms to simplicity, serves his daily life without that many maidservants, but these regarding prince your highness completely are not the issues.
Experiences prince of war not to be fragile.
Marched forward in Klimt Woods was so long, the Stu army soon will go out of this crisis on top of crisis today the jungle.
For serveral days, the Stu army altogether has encountered the 13 raid undead attack, although did not have a defeat, but the final three fights were actually conducted unusual difficult, the team personnel losses phenomenon started to appear, until now altogether died in battle 100 37 warrior, has also included five heavy cavalry from 7th Cavalry Corps.
Limited to the terrain, heavy cavalry simply has not started in the recent fight the fight, but has acted as the one strike sets the tone powerful reserve forces.
Mentioned also makes Stu surprised, because these fights zombie of time noisy crowd rush suddenly gradually learned some basic tactics they to start to understand that unexpectedly stood a horizontal type-setting, then charged again, although these tactical qualities can only call the trash zombie unable to make any specially effective attack lineup, but along with fights, Stu actually noted these zombie actually also to know that kept the preparation team!
In the last fight, in these zombie teams presented several necromancer unexpectedly!
However is good side Stu has two family backgrounds to assume personal command from Darman School high step magician, after one struggles hard, but actually has also annihilated these zombie, but spell of opposite party necromancer that powerful force made Stu heavy cavalry first time present the loss.
The staff operation plan will have assumed, Stu has read several postocular spot authorizations, immediately stood up to go out of the gigantic tent.
„your highness! scout has discovered something in the east side.”
„?”
Stu lightly has taken the leather glove, has raised the eyebrow, „said.”
„Is zombie, but as if dies zombie that fights in, because has not seen the trace that the weapon kills, dying is zombie.”
The cryers as if do not believe that this matter, in the expression brought some hesitant, but this is the military compound, had anything to say anything, he news reporting of scout report no error.
„Killing one another zombie? Ahem.” After Stu hear, is to actually disdain sneers, „this matter did not need to report, did zombie kill one another?”
He shakes the head, fastens tightly in leather belt of wrist section the glove, does not return to saying that along with behind: „Army, hopes that scout do not take to me this type news that does not have the significance.”
He took a step to move toward the camp center, left behind the cryer to stand gingerly on the spot.
Following journey as if extraordinary smooth.
Rides hears scout is repaying „front security” unceasingly the news in immediately Stu, some surprise, properly speaking the attack of undead should be more and more intensive at heart, the intensity more and more great ability is, without a trace why vanishes suddenly unexpectedly?
Neat team pull back is very tight, this is in order to is receiving the attack first time to make the defensive counter-attack.
However scout had not actually discovered that undead in expectation, the team went out of Klimt Woods safely, uneventful trod Klimt Woods, entered the Klimt territory.
However when they tread the forest, at present makes all soldiers understand like the Hell scene immediately why this section of road has not met zombie.
Here is Salia discharges the open area after Forbidden Incantation.
Cutting off limb wreckage everywhere recklessly is scattering, likely is flowers of the flesh and blood.
Various scavengers are making chewing motions greatly quickly, saw that the enormous and powerful army walks from the forest, „” has dispersed all of a sudden, since brought a winged insect of big buzzing.
Stu grabbed the hand of horsewhip to get hold of suddenly!
In surrounding area about thousand square meters has the physical body of trace and burn that the innumerable conspicuous gigantic pothole shock-wave creates to Stu was relating here had had matter.
„Forbidden Incantation!”
Two dumbfounded mage responded, old some actually does not attend to the astonishment of guards, one counter- in the past aloof and remote the stance, leaps to leap unexpectedly from the horseback, slightly ran has been firing into the front.
The giant meteorite that earth element and gravel congeal when the contact ground then together explodes along with fire element, therefore presents in Stu at present, is that innumerable rotten corpses and diameter astonishing pits.
In the air has not being able to melt decayed flavor/smell, somewhat smokes the person eyes unable to open.
Stu knitting the brows head , is actually orders the army rapidly across this region.
When arrives at the Borpe small town of nobody left, the entire team stopped the recuperation, prince your highness also has actually discovered at this time exceptionally.
„A person?”
Listened to cryer's repayment, the brow of Stu to wrinkle deeply him to feel faintly these exceptionally as if Flora was missing not being able to withdraw some responsibility, because scout had discovered in Borpe Blacksmith's Shop sovereign family personal guard army discarded longsword that the damage here the armor and abandoned.
When that is Daogen for the soldier patches weapon eliminates, in the dwarf eye, the production processes of these standard weapons is to really let him looks down upon, treated as the scrap iron to discard simply.
What skill can she have? Stu looked to the distant place, in heart could not find the answer.
„Search grain, supplies.”
„your highness...... The grain did not have...... Fed the horses the straw not to have continually......”
„What?” Stu has gawked staring, „did common people walk? Can they also carry off all grain to be inadequate?”
The adjutant has wiped sweat of forehead, putting out a hand loosely soaked lead(er) tastes: „your highness...... All things did not have...... Even links the cured meat not to have together, nearby several farmland have also harvested, and does not have any haystack......”
His words had not said that was broken by Stu „was good, told me the supplies of army also to support for several days?”
„your highness, because is the island of resistance is thorough, supplies of Hilias City loading to the present consumed was similar, according to such gets down...... Also can support for five days.”
The adjutant clenched teeth, says five days of this time limit time limits to save the grain in the heavy cavalry horses, the average per person meals reduced in one-third situations to calculate, therefore the present situation is not optimistic.
The person by own country was given to run out of food, is really the depressed matter.
Stu somewhat was immediately worried.
According to the operation plan originally, the entire army will levy grain taxes after Klimt Woods immediately Klimt is the high production grain place, it to, but the person stays behind the impression of always does not lack the grain can think of this situation?
„Five days?” Stu is not a fool, he also understands that situation some are not quite at present right, „takes the map.”
Received the map of adjutant, Stu fast start computation route of march and supplies issue, but, his complexion looked like seems a moment later getting more and more bad.
„Informs various, completes the worst plan, within three days rush to Nha town, sending three squad, the radiation to search nearby hamlet, have the grain to notify immediately.”
Stu resolute ordering, continues to say afterward: „All people provide to reduce three parts, my similarly is also, arranges.”
„Yes!”
The adjutant draws back accordingly.
Stu understands should set the model similarly in this time, comes him of military academy to fully realize that the morale of troops stable importance, entered the stable plain region at present, will have heavy cavalry him not to fear enemy his formidable self-confidence in any quantity in innumerable to fight, but will march to run out of food is the big death anniversary that three times will stem from him to direct and win personally, reduces the supplies is the only way at present, actually also will be the way of morale of troops easiest lax just condensing.
As prince Venerable does not do specially, but similarly reduces the supplies, this matter in the army passes on will play very strong positive/direct effect, but as for Stu whether reduced own supplies, this nobody will verify.
„Recuperation three quarters, various teams punctual!”
Stu will order to pass to the cryer, immediately looked at that high sentry post tower he to see the differences of this sentry post towers and Borpe originally these wooden fences similarly.
He climbed up the sentry post tower, stands in Shudo and Salia had stood the place downward bird's eye view this flesh and blood battlefield everywhere, narrows the eye, does not know that is pondering anything.
„What did you say?”
The Henry sharp vision is to draw out curved blade of sheath likely has observed closely the present guard generally.
„Uncle...... Sir Count has the command! All people enter the city to give to integrate the city fee/spent! Everyone five copper coins!”
Replied that his is west Sistine the city gate guard, he stands on being higher than ground about one meter platform, the expression that a face despised suddenly was actually gaining ground to observe closely his flash straight anchorage by Henry, afterward retreat one step cannot help but, nearly drops.
„Five copper coins?”
The Henry behind Noda mouth is holding in the mouth grass pole, without hesitation scolded maliciously: „Our has over a thousand people, but also is the refugees! Do you prepare to make us make a payment go in again?”
Has not waited for that guard to say anything, Noda „!” Has spat the grass stalk, scolded: „Your was count the head makes city gate push? Except that doesn't money what know?”
„Noda, comes back.” Hilna holds on the Noda's shoulder, pulled back the fellow who this scolded verbosely endlessly, the latter no longer rubbish, but was low voice was mumbling anything with elf language.
That guard looked at longsword of Noda waist, looked at the grass pole that the under foot just Noda had spat to sew the wooden platform of under foot unexpectedly!
50% grass poles inserted the solid wooden platform, this may make this guard frighten unbearably!
This is not arrows! This his mother is only the grass pole!
The guards are silly also understand oneself met the hard stubble.
However he quickly has gotten back one's composure, after looking at present these people, that long refugee team, has swallowed a canal: „It is not good! Makes a payment no one unable to enter!”
„That, St. Rance Empire's princess your highness?” sovereign family personal guard team team leader Krenze went out of the formation, in the hand has been grasping Daogen to fine iron longsword that he forged, the city gate advance party west entire decided that immediately shouted loudly: „princess your highness harnesses! Please notify Sistine all noble, instantly receives!”
Krenze puts on the sovereign family personal guard army standard armor, that golden yellow border and red in lining is not these two colors that the common army can have is a symbol of social class, is not the average person or the soldier can absolutely apply.
Words that simultaneously presents, the significance of that representative is not ordinary.
Hears this to drink greatly, he also had that valiant makings that to frighten, to hurry by personal guard army to run from that platform, distressed almost trips and falls, immediately he carefully looked at the Krenze chest the mark of symbol and above representative military rank, confirmed the courtesy that oneself have not misread, hurries flustered good single knee to kneel down, slightly ran to run toward the Sistine city defense place.
„Makes the guards stabilize the mood of refugee, making the horses rest, drinks some water.” Henry has issued several orders to Krenze, immediately Krenze then slightly ran is carrying out.
Flora sits on the horseback, looks up Sistine city wall this is not a small city, its constructing in has been higher than the horizon on the small hillside, the back is one has a 3000 meter high mountain peak fully, follows close on the be continuous unceasing mountain range to extend to go to the south, this city has bluish gray reliable city wall, as a result of the topography dropping variance, is counted is higher than the part of ground, the dropping variance foot of city wall and ground has near 30 meter, even has surpassed Hilias City outside city wall!
This is city Flora that changed/easy Shounan attacks actually does not understand these, she is only the turret and tone that gloomy city wall looks at that to stand tall and erect dull, thought oneself jump from a basket, soon will enter another basket.
Walks, Flora felt own completely lack has the feeling, every day is only mechanical or or is walking on the horseback, the surrounding person with will not speak basically, but Flora will not have the words to look for the words, many time, she in mind and own plaything dialogue.
How long the team has not waited for then to wait for the response of Sistine Count's Mansion.
It seems like the Sistine working efficiency is very high, when are not many Count Gar then walks surrounded by numerous noble, he did not believe this said outside oneself city gate oneself are the princess' person, really will be that life in Hilias City never going abroad Sovereign Palace princess, what however coincidence will be, in previous the day, he just received the letter from Hilias City saying that princess was missing without hesitation the best welcome ceremony to be welcomed by his preparation in Klimt Woods this.
No matter this princess is false, experienced and careful Gar must make a proper gesture to be forearmed really regards as the truth, in Sistine and even Klimt, Gar said one, nobody dares to say two, even if this is not real princess, Gar also having confidence makes her turn into „the genuine article”.
Count Gar has seen Flora, in going out of city gate an instant then identified this princess this Venerate, therefore he immediately started to call with that usual mask generally warmly, invited princess and her personal guard army enters Sistine.
After princess and his personal guard team enter Sistine, when the following refugee preparation follows up, was actually blocked.
„Where do these people come?”
