There seems to be something wrong with ninjutsu in medieval warhammer

Advertisement, the reading app I am using recently, [ \Mi\Mi\Reading\app \mimiread\ ] has many sources of books, all books, fast!

Maybe it was for Astolfo's sake. At the end, Miller also kindly reminded the unreliable feudal forces.

"How about it? Is there any good news? Do you know why the noble council delayed the supply of food?"

Ah Fu and Amy, who chatted happily for a long time while eating, drinking and having fun, finally remembered the silent Carter.

"It's not good..." Carter, who had thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind, lowered his head and replied casually, and raised his head after thinking for a while: "Anyway, let's go back first, we have to think carefully about a way."

"All right"

……

After paying the bill, the three people began to return on the same road in the bustling city.

The thoughtful Carter kept his head down all the way, letting Amy pull him forward.

[One Ulthuan, one race has ten countries, hundreds or even thousands of big landowners, and the internal division is divided into countless small groups whose interests are based on their own families... What a complicated and inefficient ruling environment.Even if it was a country with a hundred miles in the heyday of the Zhou Dynasty, it would be nothing more than that, right?If it is not the common belief, I am afraid that there will not even be a nominal co-lord 'Eternal Queen', right?

The Great Chaos Invasion is both a catastrophe and an opportunity. If it wasn't for this invasion that forcibly united the hearts of the Asur family and accelerated the integration of elves from various countries, I am afraid that when the family was separated, it would not only be divided into three elves.However, even at the end of the day, the performance of the three elves was really clumsy. After all, it was the inefficient and complicated political/government system that held them back.

If... If Aenarion survives, with his prestige and careful planning, it is not impossible to establish a truly unified country and completely reform Ulthuan's political system... If you want to completely eradicate these big landlords, then It is necessary to create a new class that is more advanced and has stronger productivity... But simply copying the experience of the previous life is absolutely not advisable in this place where the corruption of the four gods is pervasive.No matter how bad the existing system is, it has been tested and can effectively resist the corruption of the Four Gods...]

The more he thought about it, the more headache Carter got. Unknowingly, under the leadership of Amy and Ah Fu, he walked out of the bustling urban area of ​​the Rock of Eternity and came to the stables where they kept their horses outside the city.

Without saying anything, the three on horseback drove towards the barracks.

Under the envious eyes of the owner of the stable, Carter rode the tall and mighty Bucephalus, holding Amy who insisted on sharing the ride, and gradually left with a shake.

Soon the flow of people around began to decrease, but many elves in civilian clothes saluted Carter.They were the vanguard and members of the Skyhawk brigade who arrived first. After finishing their duties, it was their turn to rest today.So on the way back, I met many familiar faces, including a few acquaintances of Estari.

"Don't think so much, go back and discuss with everyone, there will be a solution, we fight all the way from the outer ring to the inner ring, we can't die in battle but starve to death, right?"

Amy, who sat close to Carter in front, probably felt that Carter was still absent-minded, so she held the back of his hand holding the rein, and leaned back gently to comfort her.

The way the white-haired elf looked back was so beautiful that he couldn't describe it. Carter, who stopped thinking for a while, hugged his soft body tightly in enjoyment.

"Well, that's what I said..."

Carter, who was about to respond, suddenly shook off her hand, and while Amy was still subconsciously stunned, he reached out and intercepted a flying arrow.

The bored Ah Fu who followed immediately widened his eyes and shouted: "Enemy attack!" Then he drew out his sword, and cut off the arrows flying towards him in the air, because there were too many arrows flying at the same time. To be sure, his movement of swinging the rune sword became a bit ghostly, and the sound of "jingle ding dong dong" could be heard endlessly.

"Amy get down!"

Carter immediately let Amy lie on the horse's back to reduce the area as much as possible, and then pulled out the rune sword named 'Suo' from the Eternal Queen's treasury from the harness, flicked and chopped off seven or eight arrows, and at the same time triggered In addition to the self-defense talisman he wears, a circular transparent shield that can block both physical and magical attacks appeared around him, protecting Emilia and BMW Bucephalus.

The three of them happened to be on a road at the edge of a forest. Carter, who had been thinking and subconsciously thought that the inner ring was safe, relaxed his vigilance, but he didn't notice the dozen or so assassins who were almost sticking to his face.

"Ah Fu, let's go! Don't love to fight!"

The unexpected situation caused Carter's adrenaline to soar, and at the same time, the Sharingan, which was covered by the ring of the fraudster, was activated instantly, and he immediately saw the real body of the assassin hiding in the tree.A dozen or so figures without any identity marks, wearing cloaks and black masks, standing under the trees, are constantly pulling out the strong bows in their hands and shooting heavy arrows that penetrate armor at close range and have amazing lethality.

[Elves?Assassination?Sorey, the Feregaya family?Just want to assassinate the same clan because of the pass?Are they crazy, or have they been corrupted by the Four Gods...]

Carter, who had countless thoughts in an instant, immediately pulled out three shurikens with detonating symbols from the harness, and threw them in the direction of the forest.

Before they hit the forest, Carter directly detonated the detonating symbols in the air, and the flames and smoke caused by the three huge explosions became the best cover.

"go!"

Astolfo immediately drove away quickly, and Carter also quickly fled the scene with his body down. The strong and strong Busefelus carried the two of them forward at full speed without any effort, and the speed was even faster than that of Astor alone. Torfo's Alion horse is even faster.

The astonished Carter casually threw several shurikens at the forest where the assassin was located, in order to continue to maintain the thick smoke to cover the retreat.

[If Amy and Ah Fu weren't here today, none of you would even think about leaving! 】

Carter, who was shocked by the fierce methods of the two families, gritted his teeth and thought fiercely, and at the same time completely protected Amy with his body.

Ten seconds later, the three of them sprinted at full speed with their good horses and escaped the effective range of the strong bow and heavy arrows. Seeing that the action failed, more than a dozen masked elves quickly left the scene.

Only dozens of heavy arrows that were bounced off or cut off by the magic shield can also indicate that there was an attack just a few tens of seconds ago.

Chapter 223 Istvan Solei

A dozen masked and cloaked elf assassins quickly left the scene, replaced all their equipment and clothes with ordinary civilian clothes in a hidden place, and then returned to the main road, divided into several teams and returned to eternity pretending to be strangers. rock.

"These country bumpkins are running too fast, how do you go back and explain to the Patriarch?"

A few assassins dressed like civilians were walking on the avenue, discussing their actions in low voices.

"Who knew that these outer ring guys are so strong, they can react in an instant to catch the heavy arrow shot by the captain with their bare hands. With Kunos, even the champion of the competition, I am afraid there is no way to catch a heavy arrow at such a close range. Arrows, and there are magic equipment on the body that can..."

"Yeah, I didn't realize it at first, but it's too scary when I think about it now. I caught the captain's heavy arrow with my bare hands at close range. Are the outer ring guys all monsters?"

Several of them were still recalling Carter's actions just now, and their facial expressions kept changing back and forth between surprise and shock.

"Failure is failure, and I will take responsibility. After losing this opportunity, the Outer Ring guy will definitely be more vigilant, and it will be difficult to make a move in the future."

The leader who walked in the front said something without looking back, and instantly blocked the mouths of several people.

……

The nobles living in the inner ring are generally rich and powerful, and they don't pile up their wealth in warehouses to moldy, as many people imagine.The nobles in the inner circle who already had a basic sense of capitalism are particularly fond of investing, but in this world where commerce is not yet developed, there are not many things worth investing in.Therefore, funding those talented commoners, becoming talents and then hiring them as their own retainers has become the favorite thing for elves and nobles.

They only need to spend a small amount of money to cultivate high-quality talents such as mages, assassins, swordsmen, military strategists, and scholars that can be used for a long time.With these talents, the strength of these big families is not much worse than the princes who rule the kingdom.

This kind of practice of accumulating strength for oneself, to a certain extent, is unintentional, and provides a channel for the talented civilian class.And it indirectly led to Ultsuan's feudal society to be extremely stable for thousands of years, and it has not experienced major changes and rebellions during this period.After all, as long as they are really talented, even ordinary people can get financial support from the nobles as long as they pass the review, and go to places like Saffrey to learn knowledge.The price is nothing more than how long you have served the nobles who funded you. The money you should get will not be less, and generally speaking, the nobles will not stop you if you want to leave.

Because judging from the values ​​​​of elves, unless they are slaves, it is impossible to tie a person for a lifetime, because the lifespan of elves is too long.It's better to get together and disperse to make a good impression. It will undoubtedly be very simple to find these talents you have cultivated when you need them in the future.

It is precisely because of this tradition and longevity that nobles with relatively large territories can pull out a thousand-man army that is not weak in a short period of time.

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of these legions is often stronger than that of the regular army before the great invasion.After all, these local legions are all from the same hometown, and they will conduct military training every one or two years. After hundreds of years, the degree of tacit understanding must be far stronger than that of regular troops who only serve for a short time.It's just that the invasion was too sudden and violent, and there was no time for the nobles of the outer ring elves to react. Otherwise, once these local legions were organized, the demon army would not have invaded so easily.

Due to various reasons, the local militia or private soldiers finally formed the strange appearance that the combat effectiveness was stronger than the regular army of the kingdom.And even the ruling prince's family will have this kind of family private soldiers, whose combat power and equipment level are many times stronger than the regular army.

In fact, Carter's First Corps is more like a family private soldier than a regular army from a certain point of view, because the strength of the First Corps is entirely created by Aris. Whether it is the supply of equipment or logistical support, it is obviously already surpassed troops of the same level.

……

It was this social phenomenon, the reason why these assassins supported by the Solei family would feel guilty about this miss.

After listening to the report in the study, Istefan Soley, the current patriarch of the Soley family, waved his hand: "Don't blame yourself, I didn't expect that outer ring guy to have magic equipment that can form a protective shield, it's me I'm careless... It seems that his background is not simple, the assassination plan is postponed, and he should go to find out his details first, and his background must be dug out."

"Yes, sir, I will not let you down this time!"

The extremely grateful assassin captain Fan En immediately bowed his head and stroked his chest in salute, then quickly left the study.

After Van En left, a male voice came from behind the curtain next to him.

"My lord, this action is too reckless."

A mage wearing a mage's robe and an exaggerated half-moon headdress on his head, who was hiding behind the curtain, came out. The mage's robe was holding a half-moon pattern in one hand, making his identity as a Sapphire elf ready to be revealed.

"Hey, I was really in a hurry this time, but this kid is really disgusting. Joining with that little boy made my Soley family lose power in the queen's court, and even lost several official positions won by the ancestors of the family! Thinking of this, I can't wait to let him go. You bring a stronger person to deal with him!"

"In that case, I'm afraid you will have completely broken with Nagares. Although the current population flow is so intense that it is difficult to ascertain his identity, this Carter must be the middle and senior military officer of Nagares. Once I make a move, it will be equivalent to Tell everyone that this is the land of the Solei family..."

Hearing this, Estefan just snorted coldly, shook his long blond hair (most of the elves in the inner ring are blond and blue-eyed) and said, "If it wasn't like this, would I send Fann there? I raised this kid and his men." Isn't it because of this situation that I have been hiding for so long?"

The mage, wearing a Saffrey mage robe and a half-moon headgear, came to the head of the house, Yiftev, with his hands folded and said: "I know you are very angry, but I still have to make preparations. If you find out the situation and don't mess with it, at last It’s better to find a way to ease the relationship. This time, there is room for not hurting anyone. As long as he doesn’t want to be completely deadlocked, there is still a chance for reconciliation. And I don’t think he is specifically targeting the Soley family, it is probably unintentional. For example. Of course, if you don’t have a particularly strong background, you’ll be really annoyed to make arrangements when the time comes. There are plenty of opportunities…”

"Pa" slapped the table hard. Estefan Soley, who seemed to be handsome and extraordinary in his 20s, was actually a [-]-year-old monster, raised his head and said fiercely: "Could it be that a single unintentional move will kill you?" Can it make up for the loss of the family? This short-lived floating, outer ring guy..." After yelling and cursing for a while, looking at the mage consultant who was still smiling, Estefan finally recovered his calmness as a seven-hundred-year-old man and said: " Just do as you say, and make two-handed preparations..."

Chapter 224 Arrangements

Carter, who hurried back to the barracks with Ah Fu and Amy, immediately put on a full set of equipment, and with fifty elite cavalry and scouts as guards, Carter rushed again to the forest where the assassination had just taken place.

"Check! Follow all the traces and find out that the attacker's military achievements are consistent with those in the war!"

"Yes!"

Dozens of elites dismounted immediately, and quickly formed a search team of three into the forest after finishing their work.

Looking at the subordinates who entered the forest, Carter, who was still angry, also began to use Sharingan to search for traces.

Carter, who was extremely unbalanced in his heart, felt disgusted by this assassination.

He arrived not because he was afraid that his life was almost lost, but because the other party sent a killer regardless, and almost killed his important comrade-in-arms and girlfriend.

Carter, who had a quick nervous response, was not afraid of this kind of assassination at all, but because of something unimportant to Carter, they directly fought against each other regardless of their identities of the same race, which made this foreign visitor with a modern soul very angry.

Carter was so angry that he got into the horns and couldn't get out. He completely forgot about these deeds. Most elves have no way of knowing, because the avatar serving in the United Fleet has nothing to do with him. The small-scale process among the elves of Gareth is still a bit far from becoming the kind of hero who will worship the elves when they hear the name.

However, Carter, who was in a state of self-movement, no longer possessed the ability to think normally.

"Corps commander! Find a burial spot."

More than half an hour later, there was good news. It was heard that Carter quickly came to the pit where the assassin buried his belongings.

"The assailants were very cunning, using common equipment on the market, and any identifiable information was erased."

A squad leader squatting on the ground raised a bow that had been stripped of its contributions, and pointed at the bare surface above.

"Did you find anything else?" Carter asked, frowning unwillingly.

The squad leader shook his head, "They probably selected them carefully, and they didn't get any useful information at all, and the trail ends here, and all traces of their departure have been erased."

Due to the cover of the Ring of the Deceiver, although Carter is using Sharingan, his pupils are still of normal color.After careful observation of the surrounding environment, but did not find any clues.

"Hey! Put your things away, let's talk about it when we go back."

After all, Sharingan is not the detective mode of some games in the previous life. Carter, who lacks this knowledge, is even worse than his professional scouts, so he has no choice but to order back to camp.

News of the assassination was suppressed to a very small extent.

After calming down, Carter didn't want to chill the hearts of his soldiers. After all, once the news of his encounter with an elf assassin spread, the Nagareth elves under his command would instantly be alienated from the many inner-ring elf soldiers.

Carter, who had experienced mutual distrust and divided into several factions once, did not want this kind of thing to happen again to the [-]-strong First Corps.

In the end, apart from the guards, only a few senior officers of the corps knew about it.

"This is my suggestion as a good friend. I hope you don't associate this incident with all the Avalon elves. I believe that most of the inner ring elves are kind. This is just an accident. Of course, the mastermind behind the scenes must be investigated."

As one of the few officers who knew about the incident, Aragorn met with Carter in private and wanted to resolve his knot.

"Old captain, I'm not that narrow-minded. I was just a little dizzy at first."

Carter's bullshit lasted only a short time before recovering from that paranoid state.

"Old captain, food is more important now, do you have any ideas?"

"Is there no way to get in touch with Prince Aris?" Aragorn asked first.

"No, the communication eagles spread out a lot, but those who came back were either lost, or came back without finding the main force. There were too many refugees in Avalon, which caused a mess in the communication network. Even the smartest communication eagles could not A way. I originally wanted to use magic crystals to communicate, but it didn't work. It seems that His Highness must have entered a certain restricted area."

"In that case." Hearing that, Aragorn immediately fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "There are grain merchants in many places in Avalon, and they can easily provide food supplies for the Corps, but they have to carefully identify their relationship with those two families. If If the other party wants to target us, they will definitely collude with the grain merchants who have a good relationship with them."

Carter also thought of what Aragorn pointed out at the beginning.It’s not that you’re afraid that you won’t be able to find a merchant who is willing to sell grain, but that you’re afraid that you’ll meet a grain merchant who cooperates with the two families and pretend to accept the order, but in the end it’s just delaying your time on purpose, and finding an excuse not to give it to you when it’s time to deliver the goods. goods.This will become very troublesome for the First Corps, which has only enough food for a few days.

If you want to avoid this, you must know the composition of the forces behind the grain merchants, but Carter has little understanding of this aspect, because the avatars he sends to various countries do not focus on this, and most of the time they are collecting information on the macro level Economic, political and military intelligence.There is no way or energy to conduct detailed intelligence collection at all, which is also helpless.

A person's energy is limited after all, even if he has a clone, he can focus on something that is bound to be limited.

"The old captain, do you have any information or contacts in this regard?" Suddenly Carter remembered that the spirit in front of him was the Avalon elf, so he asked casually.

With a wry smile, he responded: "It's been a long time since I left Avalon. Before I went to Nagares, I had traveled around the world for many years. The contacts I had before are no longer needed, and so many refugees flocked. Entering Avalon, I guess I won’t be able to contact my old friends.” Aragorn waved his hand, expressing his helplessness.

"Tsk, otherwise, spend your money and spread the net, find a few more big grain merchants, and pay a deposit in advance to let them transfer the goods. Whoever prepares the goods first will buy from them. If the deposit is made for others, the deposit will be paid to them as compensation!"

Carter, who was a little bit broken, came up with a way, at the cost of many Sovereigns being in vain.

"Not good, this will damage the reputation of our Corps, but it is also the last resort. If it is impossible, you can ask the intelligence merchant introduced by Ah Fu, and find a grain merchant who will not be afraid of those two families. It is best Go directly to the stores opened by the big families that compete with the Thorey and Feregaya families." Aragorn, who already knew the information of the two families, mentioned Mirell.

"There is no other way. We will arrange more people to enter the city. On the one hand, we will investigate who the largest grain merchants in the market are, and on the other hand, we will ask Ah Fu to go to the information merchant to purchase information in this area. In the end Arrange some reliable manpower to purchase food on the market, if it is more expensive, buy it first for emergency." After speaking, Carter took out more than ten bank deposit checks worth [-] Sovereigns, which are the banknotes of the merchant aristocrat Handed to Aragorn.

""Looking at the bank deposit checks handed over by Carter, Aragon hesitated for a moment.

There are two reasons for his hesitation. The first is because he knows very well that this is not the military expenditure of the Corps, but Carter's own personal savings.The second is that he doesn't understand how Carter, who was just an ordinary border soldier less than a year ago, got so much wealth.

As an old comrade-in-arms with Carter, he probably knows the composition of the army's military expenses. The bulk is provided by Prince Aris, and a small part is the gold and silver treasures seized from the Chaos Legion.For the captured Carter, he never took it privately or used it for himself, and used it as military expenses for the Corps.

As the second in command of the Corps, Aragorn knew very well that Carter had never embezzled or withheld military expenses.Since the military expenses were not deducted, where did the deposit in Carter's hand come from?

But after hesitating for a moment, Aragorn took the deposit ticket from Carter, and after saluting, he walked out of the tent to arrange staff.Aragorn, who is not too young, knows that many times it is better not to ask what should not be asked.

Aragorn, who was so self-convincing, soon got busy and put this matter behind him for the time being.

Chapter 225 Unexpected Discovery

Pay attention to the official account, read books and draw cash points every day

"The last time I came to the Rock of Eternity with Enario, when I passed by this farmland, I remembered that the seeds had just been planted. How long has it been since they have grown so big?"

After arranging the manpower to enter the city, Carter had nothing to do and inspected the terrain around the barracks. The attack just now made him develop a mind. In this era of extremely abstract maps, many things need to be seen by himself in order to understand. The concept, of course, is also to avoid stepping into terrain that is extremely suitable for attack again, but I still don't know it.
