North of Ellington and south of Jinhu Town, the winter snow has just melted, and the sun is still slightly cold. In this weather, a unit is advancing south on the muddy road.

In the cold weather, they were wearing cold armor, but these soldiers did not complain at all. The atmosphere in the entire team was terrifyingly depressed.

Only one Rangers team was a little more lively.

"Oh damn it! The mud is drilling into my boots!"

The ranger of Fort Caspami, Lord Lawrence's scout, Rayleigh, a young and lively young man, cursed with grumbling, "This damn ghost weather, why do we leave the warm home and search for some escaped farmer?"

"Stop talking nonsense," Rayley's comrade-in-arms, Aaron, who is also a Black Iron Ranger, glared at him, then nervously glanced at the large army next to him who didn't say a word, and whispered: "Don't you notice the real purpose of this time?"

"Real purpose? What purpose can it be?"

Rayley was very puzzled: "Didn't you mean to hunt down the farmers who fled the territory without authorization?"

"When can you move your brain? I really don't understand how you awaken your talent!"

Another comrade next to him sighed, pointed to the dull large army beside him and said, "Don't you see these soldiers? They are private soldiers led by Lord Lawrence himself. Didn't you find how elite they are? In this kind of haunting weather and road, they have been marching in armor for a day, but no one speaks!"

"That's because they're all wood."

"Even the wooden people will complain, unless their mouths are sewn!"

Aaron lowered his voice and said, "I accidentally noticed that they were eating raw meat in the tent last night! Bloody monster meat!"

Several friends next to him suddenly widened their eyes. Just as they were about to speak, Aaron hurriedly made a ban on the voice, and then his voice lowered: "The soldiers and cavalry of Lord Lawrence are a little bit wrong, but it is certain that they are definitely not coming out to capture the escaped farmers. They are more like preparing for a war that has been prepared for more than a month. And it is said that there are more supplies behind them."

"Damn it, he is preparing for a war? But who is the target? Since these soldiers are so powerful, why should he ask us to fight?"

Aaron said calmly: "It's probably because he needs some scouts with a clear mind. Rangers are the best for scouts. Those soldiers seem to have no response except obeying orders."

Rayley took a breath and couldn't help but hugging her arms and said, "I suddenly felt a little scared after hearing what you said. Could it be that we were standing aside with a group of monsters?"

Aaron secretly glanced at the carriage the commander was riding in in the distance and couldn't help but sigh. If it was a monster, it would be easy to say, but I'm afraid it would be a group of things that were even more terrifying than monsters.

This silent army passed through several empty towns along the way, with no intention of dispersing the search personnel, and went straight toward the south.

As far as Aaron knows, before entering the Ladya Forest in the south, there was only Ellington.

The territory ruled by Donn, who killed the former lord Duvier Kadir.

Thinking of this, Aaron couldn't help but feel nervous. The target seemed obvious. Lord Lawrence was probably like Duvier, who wanted to attack Ellington.

After all, Ellington is now constantly accumulating wealth, and the mayors of several towns around him will be jealous, let alone the lords of Fort Caspami.

Before Ellington became famous, among the towns near the Ambris Mountains to the west, only Caspami Fort was ranked first. He made a fortune from the military by supplying products to the Sword Scar. Now that Ellington has stolen the limelight, Lord Lawrence couldn't help but be jealous and wanted to start.

The farmers who fled in winter gave him an excuse to send troops...

Aaron sighed. Although they are all from the same country, they have to work hard to fight to death for the disputes between these lords. It is really sad to live.

In the carriage, Lawrence looked at the troops ahead with great satisfaction.

Elite, this is the real elite!

What are the soldiers left by Duvier? Just a group of unnamed waste. Look at these soldiers, there is no complaint in the march. The heavy armor is as if nothing is worn on the body, with strict discipline and strong combat power. Any warrior can tear the second-level monster!

And he was absolutely obedient to the order. Even if he ordered them to die, Lawrence had really tried this order, and the warrior did not hesitate to execute it.

This is called the Iron Blood Army!

The satisfied Lawrence couldn't help but sigh. He really wanted to ask the patriarch how he trained these powerful dead soldiers. But when he thought of Charles's explanation in the letter before, he could only dispel his curiosity.

The only thing more troublesome is that these soldiers consume a lot, and their food requirements are also very troublesome, requiring fresh flesh and blood.

Fortunately, the temperature is not high now, and the fresh flesh and blood will not be damaged during transportation. There is also a magic freezer, thanks to the Tang Chamber of Commerce, whose products were used for huge purposes at this time.

Above the hills in the distance, several figures flashed in a flash.

"Are they the ones? They obviously came for Ellington, and they said they were searching for refugees and cheating people?"

Danny glared at the man with annoyance: "Stop talking nonsense, our mission is to investigate the situation and feedback the situation."

"Okay okay, you are the boss and you are awesome. How many enemy troops are there?"

Danny inspired the talented Hawkeye technique and roughly swept Lawrence's troops: "Not sure, about one thousand? One thousand five? You can see shield warriors, berserkers, light cavalry, heavy cavalry, archers... Oh, wait, the other side has a ranger!"

The difference between the Apocalypse Ranger and the Soldier Archer is still very obvious. Because of awakening his talent and cultivating his strength, the Rangers rarely wear useless defensive equipment. Most of them rely on their own flexibility, wind spells, and various unique auxiliary skills to avoid damage. Archers cannot do it. Their fragile bodies are prone to death when they encounter blows, so they need to prepare some defensive equipment.

Danny said with a weird look: "The other troops are quite normal and have great courage, but why doesn't that Ranger team feel like a regular army? Could it be a mercenary?"

Because the other square formations are disciplined, the Rangers team is magnified countless times with just a little bit of distraction, which is very eye-catching.

"How many people are there for him?"

"Not sure, it's estimated that close to two thousand people, maybe more."

"There are only more than two thousand people?"

A guy next to him curled his lips: "It's probably not enough to beat him."

"Just you talk too much... Wait! The opponent's ranger began to act, clear the traces immediately, and we retreat."

When Danny noticed that the opponent's ranger began to accelerate, he immediately issued an order. The team immediately cleared the traces and evacuated the scene. With the gain of the wind spell, they were as fast as the wind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ellington.

"Look, will I keep my word?"

Tang En stood in the cold storage, pointing to a house made of various candies and said to Nora: "The candy house I promised to give you, in a live-sized proportion, do what you say!"

Nora had no time to answer his question. The moment she saw the candy house, she could no longer control her impulse, and rushed forward with a scream, then slapped the door "slap".

"Hey, hey hey hey..."

After being exposed by Tang En, Nora did not look embarrassed at all. She just lay on Tang En's hand and stared at the Candy House with a silly smile, with a happy blush on her face.

After a while, she flew up again and tried to push the door open and crawl into the candy house.

Tang En glanced at the palm of his right hand, and there was a small pool of wet water stains.

"Really, I'm even drooling...it's probably drooling..."

Tang En sniffed it, there was no strange smell. After wiping it on his body, he turned around and went out.

As soon as Tang En left the warehouse, a bright green light appeared from the candy house. Then a delicate and cute little green-haired girl appeared in the room, lying on the soft cake bed, looking at the muffin ceiling dotted with fruit candy, and smelling the sweet smell that filled the surroundings, the little green-haired girl was almost knocked unconscious by this sudden gift bag.

"Ah... It's true that this is the happiest... But if you want to eat it in the mini form, you can eat it for a longer time! If you knew it, you would have become this general form and then you would have asked for a larger candy house!"

That's right, this green-haired girl about 1.6 meters tall is Nora who has been hiking around Tang En's head and pockets.

Tang En, who had already left, obviously could not see this amazing scene, because he had received information from Danny and the others.

Tang En glanced at the record: "It is estimated that more than two thousand people? Will there be more than three thousand people?"

Danny said very honestly, "I can't see clearly because of the terrain."

As soon as Fiona was about to speak, Aurelia frowned and said, "According to the size of the territory and the standards of imperial laws, Fort Caspami should not have more than 500 private soldiers, one thousand regular soldiers. Even if they give up all the security patrols and mobilize all of these people, they should have more than 2,000 people."

"But the fact now is that there are at least two thousand people on the other side," Fiona's eyebrows frowned, "Where did these extra people come from?"

"Hey hey hey, hey, the other party is ready to attack us. Do you still care about these things?"

Tang En couldn't help laughing and crying: "No matter how many people they come, if they don't accept it, if they don't accept it, if they kill it, it's that simple."

Fiona thought, too: "How many of us have?"

"At present, if all the guard members are added together, they will be 4,000 less."

Aurelia was stunned: "Why are there so few?"

According to imperial laws, as an earl, Tang En could have one thousand private soldiers and five thousand regular soldiers. She did not expect that Tang En had only four thousand soldiers.
