"How is it? Can you adapt to the "Dragon Bone" now?"
Todd took a pen and paper, observing the horse in front of him, writing something from time to time, and asking the knight on the horse.
Sitting on horseback, Huggins moved his arms and twisted his waist. The parasite's sharp hooks piercing the spine of his back gave him a dull pain. He squinted his eyes and said slowly: "Just two weeks ago.
At the beginning, I couldn't even move my fingers, but now it's much better."
Todd pointed at his back: "What about the 'Hive'? How about using it now?"
Huggins closed his mouth, and the "keel" parasite on his back suddenly made a rattling sound similar to that of a rattlesnake. Several subordinates ten meters away from him shouted to him: "Sir, this is a good idea!
"
Todd asked curiously: "What did you say?"
Huggins shrugged: "I just told them that I still have a frozen lamb leg at home, and everyone can roast it together for lunch."
Todd laughed, patted the war horse's neck, and finally asked: "How do these exotic war horses perform?"
Huggins stroked the horse's mane lovingly, causing the horse to snort comfortably. He said happily: "They run with all their strength, like a bolt of lightning; no matter what kind of wounds, they can't affect their fighting."
I really can’t think of anything else in this world that can stop their charge!”
Todd tapped the paper in his hand with his pencil and thought to himself, "Speed", "Regeneration", "Pain Resistance" plus "Metal Skin", in order to transform your 13 war horses into "Successors"
』, I have used up more than half of the potion inventory.
Huggins stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction of the hills.
Todd followed his line of sight and saw the knight Alfonso wielding his sword, still practicing day and night.
"He still refuses to put on the 'Dragon Bone'?"
Huggins sighed: "I have talked to him several times, but he still can't accept the tragedy in his heart."
Todd withdrew his gaze, looked at the parasitic limbs all over the man's body, and sighed: "We can't help him. Maybe he can only rely on himself to get out of the nightmare of the past... As for you, take your subordinates
Let's get used to the 'Dragon Bone' and the alien war horses, the time left for us is getting less and less."
After leaving the "Successor" team that was intensifying training, Todd met Cumberland who was rushing on the road. When the old knight saw him, he looked happy: "Captain, I just want to find you. There is something going on in Silver Ring City."
Already."
Todd heard this and quickly asked for details.
Cumberland sorted out the intelligence obtained in recent days: in the military camp of Silver Ring City, logistics officers have begun to allocate consumables according to the troops; some private soldiers of the nobles have left the manors and begun to gather outside the city; government affairs
The hall has held several meetings in recent days. All signs indicate that the kingdom is likely to launch an offensive on Muxi Town in the near future.
After saying this, Cumberland began to comfort Todd: "Don't worry, even if the Kingdom's army starts setting off today, it is expected to take seven days to reach Muxi Town. Our troops only need to set up an ambush closer to the town.
, we can intercept this unit."
Todd asked again: "Are you ready for that fake military order?"
Cumberland nodded: "That is really a perfect forgery. All the seals on it are so ingenious and unimaginable that they are exactly the same as what I remembered."
Listening to the old knight's admiration, Todd was a little surprised. Even though Queen Mary is good at painting and has been exposed to royal objects, it is incredible that she has memorized all the seal styles and can still draw them accurately.
Already.
But now was not the time to think about this. Todd asked Cumberland a few more questions, said goodbye and returned to his experimental building.
Pushing open the door and coming to the back room, Rachel and Karin stood deep in the room, debugging and operating the "Volcanic Environment Simulation Culture Bottle".
Compared to the cold outside, the room was as warm as spring. Todd took off his coat, put it on the back of the chair, and walked behind the two nuns.

: "How's the situation?"
Rachel didn't look back: "The culture bottles No. 1 and No. 3 are broken again. I asked old Aiden to repair them. The "Sutherland Potion" produced in the past few days is enough for one person. I
I plan to select one more person among the mutants for vaccination. By the way! The "Regeneration" and "Pain Resistance" in the cold storage have been used up, and I have informed these two types of mutants to get here as soon as possible."
Todd nodded, indicating that he understood.
Karin raised her little face covered with soot: "Todd, why can't Sister Rachel and I have the ability to give to others?"
The person who was asked the question was stunned.
Todd touched the bridge of his nose. Regarding Rachel's "Ideology", Karin's "Attachment" and Adelina's "Beast Language", he had tried several power transplants, but they all failed.
He didn't know the specific reason. He could only vaguely guess that it was related to human genes or something smaller.
He wiped Karin's face with a wet cloth from the laboratory, and replied helplessly: "Maybe it's because you are special."
Rachel looked away from the culture bottle, picked up a record book from the table, and said to Todd: "From two months ago to today, we have cultivated a total of twenty-seven "successors".
", including four elemental attack type mutants, two "flame breath" mutants, and two "sonic shock" mutants.
, equipped with "Speed" and "Regeneration"; the thirteen aliens of the melee attack system were equipped with "Regeneration", "Resisting Pain", "Metal Skin" and "Weakness"; the underwater attack system
The ten aliens are equipped with "Regeneration", "Water Breathing", "Webbed Hands and Feet" and "Speed"."
After Rachel finished reading, she put down the record book in her hand, suddenly thought of something, and complained to Todd: "If you ask me, it was really a waste to use 'Sutherland Potion' on 13 horses. If
Use all those potions to cultivate the ‘successors’, maybe we already have a superpower company now.”
Todd smiled and shook his head: "Hudgens' cavalry team is the most important part in defeating the Silver Ring Alliance. Give them more strength, and there will be more chances of victory. As for Muxi Town, we are better than
The enemy is more familiar with us, so street fighting is more beneficial to us. What's more, I still have that thing..."
Seeing the speaker pointing to the bundled cloth bags in the room, the woman turned pale and moved her body back: "I have heard you mention gunpowder before, but I never thought they would be so powerful."
There was a bit of regret in Todd's tone: "This is improved gunpowder. If it weren't for one of the raw materials that was too little... Putting aside these things, Cumberland told me today that the Silver Ring Army is ready to set off.
…”
——————————————
That night, Todd held the third pre-war meeting of the Muxi Knights.
At the meeting, Todd and everyone discussed and determined the general strategy for the defense of Muxi Town, and clarified everyone's responsibilities and tasks in the war.
It's roughly as follows:
1. Cumberland led the cavalry troops and sergeant infantry to first engage the Silver Ring coalition forces to attract the enemy's attention; Huggins led the "Successor" heavy cavalry squad to launch an attack from the rear of the coalition forces, with the goal of killing or capturing the enemy alive.
Military commander.
Second, Todd and Alfonso are responsible for leading the militia and believers to garrison the town and adopt street fighting methods to hold back the pirates and barbarians and prevent Cumberland's army from being attacked from both sides.
3. After Cumberland and Huggins defeated the Yinhuan coalition forces, they returned to Muxi Town for support.
Fourth, in addition to the military forces mentioned above, other residents of Muxi Town will evacuate to Lone Rock City in the south early the next morning.
From Todd's perspective, the tactics don't sound complicated, but some details need to be discussed.
However, the old knight Cumberland just smiled and tried to persuade the commander of the regiment with a few words.
"A large number of uncertain factors in war stem from the fact that everything is changing. To a certain extent, implementing plans in chaos is the true meaning of war. Being picky will be the biggest enemy of a good plan..."
A week later, the armies of Cumberland and Huggins set off from Muxi Town and began marching in the direction of Silver Ring City.
Before leaving, the old knight pulled the head of the regiment over

-----This is a gorgeous dividing line-
Side: "Yesterday, the Silver Ring Alliance Army set out from the city. I estimate that by now, they should have seen the fake military order. If they fall into the trap and speed up their march, the original seven-day journey will be shortened to four days, that is,
Said, in about three days, I will fight them; if they don't
If I fall into the trap, then after three days, I will take the initiative to move closer to the enemy and launch an attack. No matter what the result is, I will do my best to destroy the enemy's cavalry. Commander, remember! If it comes to the fourth day, we
I haven't come back yet. I left a few horses in the stables. You know what to do..."
——————————————
At the same time, the Silver Ring Troops were marching.
The head coach of the coalition forces, Marquis Roderick, sat on his horse and looked at the army that stretched for hundreds of meters. He was high-spirited and pointed out the country.
"It's just to destroy a rat's nest built on the seaside, but so many troops are needed. In fact, half of the troops are enough for me!"
Around him, a group of fawning nobles followed him like a shadow.
An unexpected voice broke this harmonious scene: "I hope you will not underestimate the enemy. The enemy once defeated the cavalry company of the Eastern Army and should have a complete cavalry formation on hand."
Everyone looked at the source of the sound, an old man with two neat mustaches, sitting upright on a horse, with a shining silver crown on his armor.
"Earl Emerson, look at this army!" Rodrick waved his riding crop to his side and said displeasedly: "We have hundreds of cavalry, as well as regular troops from the Southern Army and the Northern Army, plus you
Supporting troops. Even if all those rats come out of their holes, our troops will be three times their number! I don’t understand what you have to worry about?”
The nobles agreed one after another.
Some people even maliciously speculated that Earl Emerson deliberately said such words because he was robbed of his position as commander.
Earl Emerson sighed, pulled the reins of the horse and left everyone.
Marquis Roderick glanced at the departing figure and complained dissatisfiedly to the nobles around him: "I really don't understand what His Majesty the King thinks?! He actually ignored everyone's objections and insisted on Emerson.
The stubborn guy participated in this battle, and he was given the title of General Counsel! Looking at his timid and cowardly appearance, no wonder people who knew him gave him the nickname "Old Turtle"...
"
"Your Majesty the Marquis! Your Majesty the Marquis! Silver Ring City has sent an urgent military order!"
Roderick looked at the letter in the hand of the messenger and said suspiciously: "Sending an urgent military order at this time? We have only been away for a day."
In front of everyone, the commander opened the envelope and read the contents carefully.
After a while, the Marquis became furious and cursed angrily: "These unruly pigs! Monkeys! We agreed to attack together and share the spoils equally, but they dared to lie to me!"
A familiar noble took the letter from the Marquis and read it in a low voice. The more he read, the more annoyed he became, and he also started to curse.
It turned out that the letter stated that according to the latest intelligence, the fleet of barbarians and pirates had set off early and was expected to arrive at Muxi Town three days earlier than the Yinhuan Army. The Kingdom's Government Affairs Office hoped that the Marquis would speed up the march and be sure to arrive at the coast before the fleet
Before that, we rushed to Muxi Town.
After knowing the whole story, the remaining nobles also started to curse.
Someone loudly reminded the Marquis that Muxi Town is a "land of miracles". There is wealth everywhere in the town. Well water can make people live longer, and the land can grow gold. If the barbarians and pirates are allowed to take the lead, the kingdom's army will arrive.
When the time comes, I'm afraid I'll just have to eat dirt...
Some cautious people asked the Marquis if he could check the military order seal. After all, he had received an emergency military order just one day after leaving the city. This was really unreasonable.
When Roderick heard that it made sense, he sent someone to find the past military orders and compared the seals carefully. Finally, he found that all the seals were exactly the same.
In this way, no one will doubt the authenticity of the military order.
The coalition commander, Marquis Roderick, then issued an order for a rapid march to the entire army, requiring all troops to arrive at Muxi Town within three days.
