Chapter 135 Can’t afford to raise a dragon
Leaving the Dark Light Collection and returning to the Knights' camp, this place is no longer a simple tent in the cave, but a row of stone dormitories.
There are not many knights here at this time, most of them are still wandering around in the Ghost Light Collection.
Even Russell's four knight retinues went to the Ghost Light Collection and have not come back yet, and maybe they won't come back tonight.
"grown ups."
Only Eric remained at the camp, keeping company with Kevin, the golden and silver wolfdog.
"Didn't you go to the Netherworld Collection?" Russell asked. When the Red-Eyed Rat King saw Kevin, he immediately rushed over to play with Kevin.
"There's nothing to see. I've been to Youguangji many times."
"Well, that's right."
Eric was previously a knight under Baron Roman. Because of his outstanding performance, the baron hired him as Russell's knight teacher. After Russell's enfeoffment, he followed in Russell's footsteps and came to Black-waisted Snake Manor.
"Have you eaten, sir? There is a canteen in the camp. I will go get you a meal." Eric said.
"No need to buy food. I saw a tavern in Youguangji that has a food delivery service. You can ask someone to go to the Green Leaf Tavern to order a dinner."
"promise."
Dinner for a few silver coins at the Green Leaf Tavern was much worse than expected. Although there were many meat dishes, the taste was not satisfactory.
Fortunately, Russell had already been eating burritos and meatballs in the snowfield for a week, so he was not picky about food. He and Eric devoured the entire meal in a while. Kevin and Red Eye also got a separate dinner, and their mouths were full of oil.
"It's more comfortable to eat in a warm place." Russell patted his belly in a very uncivilized manner.
When camping at Cold Spring Point, you always have to worry about surprise attacks by snow ghosts, but not here.
Eric responded in a muffled voice: "It's far worse than Mrs. Moore's cooking skills. Green Leaf Tavern relies entirely on large quantities."
"You are increasingly thinking that Mrs. Moore's cooking skills are great?"
"Always feel that."
Russell's eyes lit up: "How does it compare to Mrs. Grammer from Phosphorus Castle?"
Eric replied in a muffled voice: "Mrs. Grammer's cooking skills are better."
"Why?"
"Mrs. Moore always makes some...daring food."
"Don't you think these bold attempts make people more appetizing?" Russell tried to convince Eric that the dishes he asked Mrs. Moore to try were really delicious.
But Eric didn't think too much and told the truth: "I don't like different foods. The food is already rich enough, why should I try more varieties. I can eat bread for a lifetime, which is already good."
"Okay, let's stop talking tonight. Get some rest early, Eric." Russell waved his hand lazily.
At night, the camp dormitory became a little lively.
Most of the knights did not stay out overnight, but came back here and started gambling in small groups. Only a few knights are willing to spend money to stay in the hotel in Youguangji and fall asleep with a woman in their arms.
Wait until the next day.
The knights were about to leave, and Baron Roman, his eldest brother Roland, and several lords and lords hurried back.
Russell could clearly feel Baron Roman's hard work last night from the dark circles under his eyes.
Even when giving orders, Baron Roman yawned: "Kendall, have you contacted the clerical officer of Netherlight Collection?"
"We have been contacted, sir." Territory Patrol Knight Commander Kendall responded in a deep voice, "The clerical officer will issue a safety announcement on the Mountain and River Trade Road as soon as possible, resume the Thunder Beast cart pulling business, and increase the territory's trade share."
Elder brother Roland should have arranged these tasks, but Roland also worked hard all night last night, so he left them to Kendall.
"Okay, let's go back." Baron Roman waved his hand to the south. "This time on the return trip, we will expand the scope of the scout investigation. We will clear out another round of snow ghosts and clear out all the small groups of snow ghosts within fifty miles of the trade road!"
"Yes, sir!" the knights responded one after another.
Boom!
Nearly three hundred knights trampled on the road with their horses, making a dull vibration and startling countless birds and small beasts on the roadside.
Passing through the Porcelain Cave, we soon entered the vast snowfield again.
The wind and snow howled.
Russell rolled up the cloak outside the dark gold ceramic armor, faced the cold wind, and followed the knights forward.
To clean up the snow ghosts within fifty miles of the commercial road, Lord Sully and Knight Commander Kendall need to fight continuously on the front line. They have both contracted flying phantom beasts, and they can fly in the sky by using the phantom beast group photo.
certainly.
The main force of the scouts is Mr. Ross. As long as the flying dragon does not encounter a terrifying existence like the snow giant, it is basically invincible in the snowfield.
Find the enemy, rally your team, and charge.
Russell has perfectly adapted to fighting in the snowfield and integrated into the knights like a real knight.
Sometimes he uses legion resonance to improve his combat effectiveness, and sometimes he resists legion resonance to prevent over-excitement and effectively save energy - fighting spirit resonance, a secret skill exclusive to knights, is a double-edged sword.
Many new knights have suffered greatly from this.
Fortunately, Russell has a calm heart. Whenever he is about to go up, he will always pull himself back in time.
"Safety first, that's what I always tell myself." After shaking the green ceramic sword and ending the battle in front of him, Russell smiled slightly.
Looking up into the distance, several fantasy beast knights were surrounding a snow demon. The brilliant dazzling fighting energy and the explosive magical power intertwined into a colorful and beautiful picture, blooming on the snow-white land.
He could ignore that level of battle now.
Focus on his own battle.
With a snap, the knight's squire Jack chopped the snow ghost's head into pieces, found the ice hail beads from it, and put them in a bag to keep close to him.
With a strong wind, the rotten snow ghost body suddenly disappeared.
"Let's go." Russell got on his horse and led the knight team to quickly clean up the scraps on the battlefield and rejoin the main force.
...
The time in the snowfield is long, and the cold climate makes people crazy.
But no matter how long the time is, it will end. A week later, the team crossed the entire Shanhe Business Road again and cleared all the snow ghosts within a radius of 50 miles.
Ensure that the Shanhe Business Road will not be harassed by large groups of snow ghosts for a long time in the future.
"Huh!"
"I'm back!"
"Haha, I feel like I'm alive again!"
"The warm sunshine is so refreshing. Every time I go home, it's like returning to my mother's arms!"
"It's just that I didn't gain much."
"The safety of people is the biggest gain, and everything else is just material possessions." An old knight sighed.
Arriving at the Red Bat Cave means that the Knights have triumphed.
Russell also laughed. On the way back, he had not been happy for a week of fighting in the snow.
The reason was that Xiao Menglong had not appeared.
The power of the two ice soul beads made it sleep for eleven days. If it doesn't wake up tonight, it will be twelve days.
"I hope it's a big supplement, otherwise, the loss this week is too big." Russell thought with a smile, "But there are also benefits. At least the ice hail beads are saved, which can slightly alleviate the financial crisis of the territory."
Four high-quality ice hail beads and sixty-one ordinary ice hail beads, this is what Russell gained from this trip.
But he still had to take out a part of it to reward his subordinates.
"There are not many gold coins in the manor. When I pass by the Fluorescent Castle, I have to borrow some from my mother... No, I have to ask my mother for some investment." Russell looked at the ice hail beads in his hand, but he was still reluctant to spend them.
These are the food he prepared for Xiao Menglong.
"Raising a dragon... is too much of a burden!"
"If it weren't for my lack of strength... I would like to live on the snowfield now, and take Xiao Menglong to absorb ice hail beads and ice soul beads every day!"
