The team stopped after walking two miles. This speed was too slow. But there were no serious roads in the Black Forest. There were many ditches and bumps. From time to time, the team had to go uphill and downhill. The team couldn't go faster even if they wanted to.
There were nearly one hundred and fifty Black Marsh villagers who were left behind, but those who could follow them two miles to the first supply point were less than fifty. They were walking numbly in the cold wind, and from a distance they really looked like corpses.
Zombies.
When these people relied on their tenacious will and tried their best to come. When they saw Zhou Qingfeng really waiting for them on the roadside, these guys were so excited that they could take a few more breaths and their steps quickened.
There are enough hot water pipes at the supply point, but the bread to fill the stomach is only as small as a palm. This small amount of food is crammed into the stomach, which makes people even hungrier.
The villagers who could catch up all had dark faces, but their eyes, which had been numb for a long time, were now shining brightly. After Zhou Qingfeng handed out the fifty pieces of bread, he only said, "I'll wait for you at the front", and took a few people from the supply point with him.
Leave.
So those zombie-like guys continued to move forward slowly...
Druinar followed Zhou Qingfeng and asked in a low voice: "Sir Hugo, why do you do such a meaningless thing?"
Zhou Qingfeng's pony was used to pull a trailer filled with cauldrons of boiling water. He sat on the trailer and said with a wry smile: "Giving hope to others is also giving hope to yourself. I want to maintain this team, but I can't give them anything else."
, then we can only give hope.
Ms. Nar, I can't give you power and wealth, but I also give you hope. You believe that I can lead the humans in the Black Forest to free themselves from the threats of goblins and evil gods, and believe that I can help you find the legendary Silver Leaf.
City.
Everything I do is to maintain the cohesion of the team. I want everyone to believe in me and believe that following me will lead to a better future."
Na'er listened very seriously, but after a while she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I have been living in the black forest, and I don't know what the nobles outside are like. But I think you are quite convincing, and everything you say seems to be...
That makes sense. I hope you won’t lie to me.”
The team continued to move forward, and Zhou Qingfeng fulfilled his promise and set up rescue stations every two or three miles to help the weak villagers behind to continue moving forward.
But fewer and fewer people were able to follow, and many even fell down and died at the moment they were about to receive help.
After walking the five or six kilometers of mountain roads for a whole day, there were only more than 220 villagers who could follow Zhou Qingfeng to reach Tielu Village safely. This was almost twice as many as expected. How many villagers can survive is related to Zhou Qingfeng's mission, and more importantly
It is related to his future development.
Yes, on the march today, he was indeed thinking about the future. These wastes from Black Marsh Village will be the capital for his future business. A journey of concerted efforts is good for the mental state of the entire team.
When they arrived at Tieliang Village, Zhou Qingfeng asked Rubio to make arrangements for camping and food and drink. He went to see Fei Zhe, the leader of the village.
After last night's mobilization, the human villages that joined the Resistance Alliance basically dispatched troops and materials to Ironforge Village as planned. Old Borg and Tambos, who were responsible for supervision, also said that it was rare for each family to abide by their commitments and not play tricks on the details.
Eyes of mind.
"The main reason is that the temptation of Silver Leaf City is too great, and no one is willing to give up the opportunity that has only appeared in the past few decades." Seeing old Borg again, the bald dwarf seemed very excited, and kept reporting to Zhou Qingfeng.
A day's work.
Tambos also sighed: "The elven murals in Ironforge Village let everyone see another world. Even I was deeply shocked. I felt that the ones I fought for in the past were too low-level. Everyone's ambitions have been instigated by you.
Reactivate, even expand."
At this moment, two to three hundred human adventurers from various villages were pouring into the meeting hall of Iron Furnace Village, admiring the splendid sun mural on the dome through the chandelier above their heads.
After watching it, some people were speechless, some were sobbing, and some were sighing, all in all.
When Zhou Qingfeng pushed open the oak door of the conference hall, the old dwarf shouted in a loud voice behind him: "His Excellency Victor Hugo is here."
The sound came so suddenly that Uncle Zhou was startled by the roll call. When he turned around, he saw the old dwarf winking at him proudly. He could only suppress the urge to roll his eyes and whispered, "Thank you."
,Mr. Borg.'
The singing voice seemed to have magic attached to it, and the originally noisy hall became solemnly quiet.
People in the hall were excited and excited by the murals on the dome. Many people had experienced the biggest shock in their lives today, and they were all excited. After hearing the roll call, they quickly stood up and watched with the most respectful attitude.
To the boy who walked in.
As a landlord, Fei Zhe quickly took a few steps forward, stood next to Zhou Qingfeng, and proudly shouted to everyone: "Let me introduce to you, this is Victor Hugo, the man who summoned all of us.
A wise, just, and great man."
Zhou Qingfeng had a smile on his face and nodded slightly to everyone. But he was complaining in his heart: "Great ghost! I am just a little thief now. No matter how high a hat you put on me, I will not give it to you."
one cent."
But with the old dwarf and Fei Zhe building momentum, the emotions of everyone in the hall were aroused to great excitement. Someone hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Zhou Qingfeng's hand with tears in his eyes, and said his name with choked sobs.
Number.
"Dear Sir Hugo, I am Antai from Luoye Village. I am very honored to meet you. The Iron Curtain has covered the sky since I was born. No matter how I imagine it, I don't know what the sun looks like? Today I finally understand.
"
There is nothing false about this excitement.
Zhou Qingfeng smiled and nodded, and replied in a formulaic way, "This is also my honor."
There was a leader, and a wave of people came up from behind. They crowded in front of Zhou Qingfeng to shake hands with him, introduce themselves, and describe the indescribable feelings in their hearts. It seemed that it was a great honor to shake hands with him, and they could brag a lot.
That kind of life.
Seeing the huge crowd, Uncle Zhou was worried that his small body would be squeezed to death by these sturdy men.
Fortunately, the ranger Luke, who was familiar with him, stood up, coughed heavily, and shouted angrily: "Everyone, please pay attention to your etiquette. Mr. Hugo is a truly noble man. It's too embarrassing for you to do this."
The crowd that came over was frightened by this and finally became much more orderly. In order to shake hands with Zhou Qingfeng, many rough guys rubbed their palms on their bodies several times, just to make them clean.
Some people felt that shaking hands was not enough to express their inner excitement and respect, so they simply walked up to Uncle Zhou and knelt down on one knee, swearing allegiance on the spot.
"Fortunately, I'm not a woman, otherwise would these guys have to do a kiss on the hand?" Zhou Qingfeng had a smile on his face, just like a head of state meeting his vassals. Hearing these ruthless men who roamed the black forest respectfully introduce themselves, he felt in his heart
But he couldn't laugh or cry.
Two to three hundred people had to go in front of Zhou Qingfeng one by one, which really took a lot of time. Uncle Zhou originally came to discuss matters, but he didn't expect that all the time was wasted on red tape and etiquette.
But Zhou Qingfeng couldn't give up this great opportunity to win people's hearts. He could only let time pass by slowly, and after nearly two hours of tossing, the entire interview ceremony was successfully completed.
As long as you shake hands with Zhou Qingfeng, or kneel down to show allegiance to him, it will be like going abroad thirty years ago, as if your body has been plated with gold.
Everyone present looked happy, their eyes were shining, and their backs were straight. They all began to speak in a literate manner and changed their accents, as if they had suddenly transformed from country folk to educated people.
