Before leaving, Master Rubio also made a request to Somo:
Take his brass collar as collateral to prevent him from escaping halfway.
This request may sound overbearing at first, but it makes sense if you think about it carefully.
Somo couldn't part with his mother's belongings, so he asked Master Rubio if he could use the "sword girdle" as collateral instead.
Both the "sword girdle" and the brass collar are "premium" level magic tools. The former is more valuable and will increase Soma's strength even more. If he didn't care about his mother's relics, he would not be willing to use it as a mortgage.
Taste.
However, unexpectedly, Master Rubio rejected Somo's proposal and insisted on keeping the brass collar.
"The belt is indeed more valuable than the collar, but since you would rather use the belt as a mortgage, it means that the collar is worth more in your heart. If you leave it with me, you have to come back. Isn't that right?"
Master Rubio asked with a half-smile.
Soma had no choice but to comply with his request and take off the collar as collateral.
Master Rubio took the brass collar from his hand and looked at it intently, his expression changing and his eyes becoming very strange.
After a long time, he came to his senses, put the brass collar into his storage bag, and said to Somo: "Don't worry, I will return the collar to you when you come back from service."
Smiling slightly, the aristocratic young master continued: "If you perform well in the military camp and win a medal for me, then I will not only give you a generous reward, but also cancel your deed of betrayal and make you a free man.
identity of."
The word "free man" made the young monk's heart beat with excitement and he was full of expectations for his upcoming military career.
Early the next morning, Sumo put on the gorgeous attire of a baron, led 100 family private soldiers in the name of Rubio Lopez, and the foreign aid Basaca, and rode a camel to the border fortress "Iron Fist" in Sevinia.
Fort” report.
…
Jiang Feng spent an astrolabe energy to quickly skip the two-week journey, and the story stage switched directly to outside the gate of Iron Fist Fort?
This magnificent fortress is located in the Gobi Desert in southern Sevinia, backed by an oasis for grazing livestock. The Sunset River originates from the northern mountains and flows south around the fortress walls, providing a natural protection.
canal.
Jiang Feng leaned on Sumo and called the city gate open in the name of Baron Lopez. After verifying his identity with the guards, he led his troops across the suspension bridge across the river and entered the fort.
The garrison commander of the fortress, General Alfonso Rodriguez, is a high-level "Sandworm Knight" - a sub-class (type) of the ranger, and is also the current lord of Sevinia, Diego Rodriguez.
The sibling of Earl S.
The fortress gathered lords from all over Sevinia, including a large number of knights and barons.
Like Baron Lopez, these military nobles more or less brought some private soldiers and gathered under the command of General Rodriguez to perform the duties of vassals.
When Gao Fei and Jiang Feng came to report, General Rodriguez was reviewing the troops in the fortress square.
Out of curiosity, Gao Fei looked at the famous Sevinian general through Basaka's eyes.
General Rodriguez looks to be in his early thirties, wearing silver chain mail. He is tall and thin, slightly bald, with a clean shaven chin and a carefully trimmed mustache on his upper lip. His eyes are sharp and impressive.
A shrewd and powerful impression.
The more Gao Fei looked at the general, the more familiar he seemed. His appearance and temperament were very similar to Lee Van Cleef, who played the colonel in the old movie "The Good and the Bad", but he was younger.
Soma walked forward with Basaka, who was known as his adjutant, and bowed to the general.
General Rodriguez nodded in return and exchanged a few pleasantries. Judging from his polite and indifferent attitude, it seemed that he did not think highly of this young man who joined the army for the first time and had a hairless mouth.
In addition to the troops and mercenaries recruited from the nobles, the wealthy city-state of Sevinia also maintains two standing troops. As the trump card of the border guards, they are the "Lancers" and the "Tornado Knights".
The total number of soldiers in the corps is about a thousand, all of whom are elites trained by General Rodriguez himself.
The lancers in the square are equipped with lances and new magic crystal rifles. They ride on domesticated sandworms and are versatile in melee combat and long range shooting. When necessary, they can also sneak in the sand and surprise the enemy.
The "Tornado Knights" are even more powerful. The mounts are actually real whirlwinds. The knights stand firmly on the top of the whirling wind column, holding sabers and magic crystal rifles behind them. They are considered a special air combat unit.
The cyclone knight's mount is called "Sandstorm". It is a medium-sized air elemental creature that lives in the desert and has a relatively gentle temperament. It looks like a whirlwind made of sand and dust. As long as you give them a hyacinth gem they like, it will
Make a long-term contract with it and tame it into a loyal mount.
Compared with the regular troops riding sandworms and sandstorms, the Lopez family guards who came to report on camels looked like a bunch of old haters. Both Gao Fei and Jiang Feng felt that it was quite embarrassing.
General Rodriguez gathered his troops and walked up to the nobles with his hands behind his back, a sarcastic smile on his lips.
"My noble and brave friends, who wants to take a ride in the dust?"
When the nobles heard this, their expressions changed and they all lowered their heads. Except for Somo and Basaka, no one dared to look directly into the eyes of His Excellency the General.
General Rodriguez immediately noticed the two strangers in the crowd and asked with a half-smile: "Brother Rubio, do you and your adjutant want to give it a try?"
Gao Fei could tell that the General planned to give the rebellious nobles a showdown. He and Jiang Feng were just two chickens to be killed for the monkeys!
If you refuse the general's invitation, you must pass a DC 25 lobbying check, otherwise you will be ridiculed by all the officers and soldiers present, your face will be disgraced, and it will be difficult to get along in the military camp in the future.
The difficulty of the lobbying test is ridiculously high. Unless you are lucky enough to score a 20-point success, it is impossible to pass the test.
It can be seen that the game designers hope that players will accept the challenge issued by General Rodriguez.
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng chatted privately with the help of the astrolabe, and after deliberation decided to accept the challenge, switching to the first-person perspective, riding Shajuanchen themselves, and experiencing the feeling of flying in the wind.
Of course, if they mess up, they will fall from mid-air, bruised and swollen on the spot, and become the butt of jokes.
The general expressed his appreciation for the courage of the two men and raised his hand to ask the guards to bring two Shajuanchen for them to ride on.
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng bravely walked to the whirling whirlwind. Shajuochen, who was quite intelligent, took the initiative to shrink down and lowered himself to the same height as their heads, so that passengers could easily climb on top of him.
