Chapter 24: The Haze of War

Recently, Brandon has taken the Pegasus to Jason Druid's cabin every day, but he has never seen Jason come back.

At this time, Brandon had some speculation about where Jason was going and began to worry about him.

During this period, a wave of recruitment began to set off in Baron Rons' territory. Every day, adventurers, or young people like Andrew who want to find a way out, signed up for the army. People know that it is dangerous to enlist at this time, but they have no other way, and it may be even more dangerous to escape from famine!

At the beginning, Brandon thought that as long as people leave this land where war is about to break out, those who leave this land will regain a stable life on a new land.

However, the experience passed down from generation to generation by the people here does not have enough food. It is best not to go anywhere, as a tenant! Otherwise, it would be better for people to continue to be tenant on another piece of land, and it may even be a chance to be a tenant for the lord and the lord.

Because there are too many people escaping the war, and the lord does not have so much land or food to resettle refugees; or the wandering people starve to death halfway through lack of food....

Of course Andrew knew how dangerous it was to join the army at this time, but he still chose to respond to Baron Rons's recruitment order.

However, because Andrew's warrior profession level is relatively low, in order for Andrew's safety to return, Andrew's father begs his former captain and arranged Andrew to the second-tier team.

Aber's family is a farmer. If the family moved at this time, the lord would have the power to confiscate all the land of their family. These twenty acres of land were accumulated by generations of his family. If he left like this, it would basically be equivalent to erasing the efforts of his ancestors for generations.

So the Alber family was not willing to leave, but Alber also knew his strength. Responding to the conscription order was similar to dying, so he participated in the logistical work organized by the government officials to open the road. Although it was very tiring, safety was still guaranteed.

In the hotel of Grants, Baron Rons hired adventurers at high prices, many mercenaries came to see the situation, so the business was good these days, and the newly-produced guys were very diligent, which made the Grants very satisfied.

Originally, Grant did not respond to the conscription order, nor did he participate in logistical tasks such as logging and road repair, and he needed to pay a war tax to the lord. However, because Brandon was taken in by the Grant and his wife since childhood, and had agreed to participate in the battle against the undead, Grant's war tax was exempted.

If the rich gentry in the territory has completed the number of conscriptions or paid enough war donations, and has real estate in Grizzly City, they are allowed to move their families to Grizzly City, but the head of the family must stay to fight the undead and are not allowed to leave.

Because the level of the knight attendant is already a quasi-noble, the requirements will be looser. I must participate in the war and do not make any requirements on whether my family members will evacuate. However, if I don’t make enough contributions in the war, the fiefdom may be reduced, and even the level of the knight attendant may be deprived of it and removed from the quasi-noble.

It is said that the entire Baron Rons territory now has nearly 800 troops, commanded by the Knights of Det, and the entire Baron Rons leadership is the army's logistics supply base.

At the same time, six priests from the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture came to Baron Rons' territory to participate in the war to eliminate the undead. With the priests, there were 200 elite infantry soldiers, all of whom were elites of the Knights of the Apology.

The clouds of war have begun to spread throughout Baron Rons' territory.

The Knights Det has begun to send elite troops to enter the Thorn Forest along the cut down road, carry the holy water made by the priest, and enter the Thorn Forest to confirm the large-scale distribution of the undead near Baron Rons' territory. In addition, they will be eliminated immediately when encountering small undeads.

Just as the war was about to break out, Brandon got news about Jason Druid. Baron Wiggins sent elite troops deep in the forest to rescue a druid who was attacked by the undead and seriously injured. Then the druid was taken to the Temple of the Goddess of the Earth in the town of Metga for treatment.

After the druid woke up, he was confirmed to be his identity, and he was Jason Druid.

Since Jason Druid's injuries have not yet recovered, he is temporarily recuperating in Metgar Town. After he recovers from his injury, he will represent Baron Rons and Baron Wiggins to join the team organized by Baron Wiggins to enter the Thorn Forest from the direction of Metgar Town to fight against the invasion of the undead.

When Brandon heard this news, in addition to worrying about Teacher Jason's injury, he was somewhat alert to the undead creatures.

I thought there were only some low-level undead creatures such as skeleton soldiers, ghouls, and zombies, but now that level 8 druids like Teacher Jason have been seriously injured in the undead, it is impossible that it is just a low-level undead creature.

Now that things have come to this point, Teacher Jason has been sure that he cannot return to Vile Town, and Brandon cannot think of any way to recover.

Fortunately, Brandon has also counted on the battlefield once. If he encounters the undead again, he will be much better at dealing with it than when he first encounters the undead creature. As long as his luck is not too bad, he will not be as unlucky as when he first encountered the undead, and he will be ambushed directly by the undead.

...

"Branton, what are you thinking?" At this time, Andrew's voice sounded behind Brandon. After Brandon was asked to lead the squadron into the forest for missions, Brandon specifically requested the Captain Sack who had returned from injury to arrange for him to lead the squadron where Andrew was.

"Nothing! Andrew, have you noticed anything abnormal around?" Brandon patted Pegasus' head and asked about Andrew's patrol.

"No, maybe the teams ahead have been cleaned up. Let's not say that no undead were found here, the animals have also gone to the depths of the Thorn Forest."

"It's better to be careful. The last time I followed Captain Sack to the forest, I was ambushed by the undead, and the team suffered heavy casualties. Now you take everyone, take a rest first, and I'll go around and take a look."

Brandon said that, he chose one direction to patrol. The Pegasus next to him immediately followed him. Looking at the Pegasus, Andrew next to him was a little envious of Brandon.

Unfortunately, the price of a war horse is too expensive, and raising a war horse is not an easy task.

Andrew knew that with his own family background, it would be impossible for him to have his own war horse in a short time.

Looking at the obedient Pegasus, Andrew was filled with envy!
