Book of Gods and Demons

On December 22, 1379, at hrs. in the morning.

Xiaobai snorted and ran forward with Huan'er.

The cold wind roared, but Xiao Bai couldn't feel the chill in the wind. Hoofs the size of porcelain plates bombarded the ground heavily, making a dull loud noise. The ice on the street was nearly an inch thick, and Xiaobai was covered with ice. Bai's hoof was crushed.

The municipal workers who were responsible for shoveling ice on the road all looked at Xiaobai who was running wildly with awe.

"Yu, yue, yue..."

Joe rode on Xiao Bai's back, constantly yelling softly, and at the same time, he kept pulling on the reins, so that the big guy, who had been holding back in the stables for a period of time, slowed down as soon as he left the house.

It's just that Joe was really reluctant to tighten the reins with great force, Xiaobai exhaled heat, sprayed foam from his mouth, and the reins tightened a little bit. He turned his head, tilted his head and stared at Joe fiercely, then sinking. Sniff your nose to express dissatisfaction.

Joe loosened the reins slightly, and the guy let out a cheerful roar, and rushed forward.

Gorkin led a large team behind Joe.

The war horses they rode were also Tan horses of excellent pedigree that the Rittal family spent a lot of money to purchase from the northern frontiers of the empire. This kind of beach horse is more than one foot taller than ordinary war horses, and is a good player no matter if you charge short distances or travel long distances.

But in front of Xiaobai, who is extremely energetic and whose bloodline is much larger than that of ordinary horses, these beach horses can only pant for breath, run sweating profusely, and can only follow far behind and eat ashes. .

"Joe...the icefield dragon horse... assholes, those Lucia petty ghosts, how could they willingly give Joe an icefield dragon horse? Joe, is this the braid that caught them?"

Gorkin was envious and annoyed and yelled: "Damn Lucia, this guy has been cast off... Otherwise, use it as a breed-horse, and the Rittal family can have a good business."

Mr. Skeins was wrapped in a large cloak, and his entire head was wrapped in a hood, only leaving a gap near his nose to catch his breath. Hearing Gorkin’s complaint, Mr. Skeins coughed slightly: "Gorkin, Master Qiao said that he will go to St. Mayan Cathedral to buy a magic potion to regenerate Xiaobai... the stump."

"This is just a matter of gold coins. The issue of gold coins is obviously not a problem for Master Qiao." Mr. Segengs giggled and said, "Unfortunately, we only have Xiaobai as a stallion. If the horse breeds are bred, the quality of the offspring is obviously not as good as the pure ice dragon horse...If we can get a group of pure blood, ice dragon horse mares..."

Gorkin's gaze was a little wandering, he glanced towards the northeast, and whispered, "Ah, magic potion, isn't it...a group of mares...not to mention that you can't get it, uh!"

Gorkin and Mr. Skeins quickly exchanged glances, then looked back, and followed Marcos, sitting in a four-wheeled carriage together with Ivan the Great—Like Marcos, Ivan the Great is too big They are too big and too heavy to find a horse that suits them.

"He must be happy. There is no warrior, and he doesn't like a really good horse." Gorkin snapped his fingers.

"He will definitely be happy..." Mr. Segengs took out a few dried chestnuts from his sleeve and handed them to Baku, the monkey who was lying on his saddle and trembling in the cold wind: "This guy, can He is not a kind person, and there is nothing he dared not do."

Golkin laughed a few times, his horse whip in his hand slammed hard in the air, making a crisp sound.

The sweat horse running under the seat accelerated again after hearing the sound.

In front of him, Joe, who had already reached more than half a mile, was finally cruel, punched Xiaobai in the head, and then tightened the reins. The running Xiaobai stopped reluctantly, tilted his head, slanted eyes, and stared fiercely at Joe who was sitting on his back.

Suddenly, this nasty guy suddenly got his neck long, and ‘clicked’ at a carriage passing by.

There are nearly a hundred four-wheeled carriages in this column, all of which are widened and elongated convertible trucks. On top of them are huge baskets filled with frozen cabbage, frozen radishes, frozen pears and other goods.

Xiaobai’s mouth is very good. He took out a frozen pear from the basket in one bite. The frozen pear was frozen as hard as the iron tuo, and it was pressed up and down by its two rows of sharp teeth. It was chewed to pieces in two blows.

"This... sir..." the driver who drove the car yelled. A few of the riflemen who were with the car looked at the major uniforms on Joe's body, and then looked at the Golkin and others who were rushing in from behind. After two steps, I dare not say anything.

"Asshole!" Joe slapped Xiaobai's top squash fiercely, took out two gold coins, and threw them to the driver of the car: "Sorry, this guy is too stubborn... But it's just one Good horse."

In the imperial capital in winter, the prices of vegetables, melons and fruits have soared. Even the prices of frozen pears are about ten times that of fresh fruits in autumn. But two gold coins with a face value of Hardware Mark can almost buy a few baskets of frozen pears.

The coachman and the workers were happy, and after hurriedly saluting Qiao, they drove the carriage to move on.

Xiaobai followed up two steps reluctantly, opened his mouth, and took another frozen cabbage from the basket.

"Asshole!" Joe slapped the guy again, and then looked behind him unkindly: "Asshole, I was going to get you a magic potion before the new year to regenerate the missing parts. come out."

"Now, I have changed my mind... Wait till spring, I will take you to the pasture outside the city, let you watch your brothers and brothers happy in the spring... Make you envious, jealous, make you cry and beg me! "

Xiaobai gulped the frozen cabbage, but her body trembled inexplicably.

Gorkin rushed up with some people. He looked at Xiao Bai, who had not even a drop of sweat on his body, enviously, and said with sincere emotion: "What a good horse, what a good fellow... Joe, you It’s really good luck."

Joe tightened the reins and walked forward side by side with Golkin.

Gorkin looked at Xiaobai enviously, and he muttered in a low voice: "Well, coming back this time really makes me sad and haggard... This horse is fine, just look at the little fellow Weimar... Say I am like a stray dog!"

"Unconscionable little bastard, I really shouldn't have brought her sweets back without telling Hessen and Liya...Ah, two of her deciduous teeth rotted, and I was beaten severely...It was really unconscionable. Little bastard, how long have I been away from home? She can't even recognize me!"

Golkin murmured angrily, complaining like an old lady full of injustice.

Joe'KaKa' smiled, and he patted Golkin **** the shoulder: "Okay, okay, didn't Weimar give you a warm hug afterwards? The sweets you secretly brought her, didn't you? In vain..."

"However, it's no wonder that Vema was only six years old when you left home to join the army... She still thinks that you are a little familiar, which is not easy... You know that she has been ill since she was a child, and the big dogs in the family , She can call every dog's name clearly, but the maids in the house, she still can't remember their names!"

"She said you look like a stray dog... Hey, look, how much she likes you! She loves those big dogs the most."

Joe's ‘quack quack’ smiled extremely happily.

Gorkin turned blue with anger, he waved his whip vigorously, thinking about whether to teach this guy a hard lesson.

However, considering the terrifying power that Qiao had come up with on the battlefield of Lanyin Corridor, which could contend head-on and even kill Tier 6 of the Wolf Temple, Gorkin curled his lips and just waved his whip vigorously. Threateningly barred his teeth towards Qiao.

The two brothers were talking and laughing all the way. They walked all the way down the street. At about ten o'clock in the morning, they came to the gate of Hydra Palace. Follow the scenic road next to the moat outside Hydra Palace and detour for about one mile. At the northwest corner of Hydra Palace, surrounded by large black pine forests, there are several large buildings with inconspicuous appearances. The Empire The War Department, here it is.

After several extremely strict inspections, in the end only Joe and Gorkin were allowed to enter the War Department, while Mr. Segons and others who were accompanying them all stayed outside and waited.

The No. 1 Building of the Imperial War Department, a building with the traditional flavor of the Durham Empire. It is square and only three floors high. Each floor is about a thousand feet long and wide in a granite structure. Joe and Gorkin were taken by two The colonel led all the way to a hall on the top floor covering an area of ​​nearly an acre.

In the middle of the bright hall, beside a huge oak conference table, wearing only an iron gray shirt, wrapped in a military coat, and wearing a hat, Salian stood by the table with a cigarette in his hand. A huge coffee cup.

At the conference table, a dozen or so imperial generals were standing or sitting ~www.ltnovel.com~ In front of them, there were small mountain-like kraft paper archives. On those thick archives, there were scarlet red "top secret" logos. Very dazzling.

"Ah, you are here." Salian raised his head when he heard the door opening, and said hello to Joe and Golkin: "It seems that young people are in good spirits. I was prepared to let you rest. A few hours... But since it's all here, don't waste time."

After placing a coffee cup large enough to hold a liter of water on the conference table, Salian straightened his body.

More than a dozen imperial generals put down their portfolios and squinted one by one, staring like a knife and a wolf, staring fiercely at Joe and Golkin up and down.

"Then, just talk about serious matters...Gorkin, you are in the Lanyin Corridor's direct subordinates, returning to the imperial capital by military train."

"With your old team as the core, within half a year, can you organize and control a new ordnance strengthening division?"

Gorkin's face suddenly turned red.

In the military establishment of the Durham Empire, the chief military officer of a ‘division’ must have the rank of major general!

He is just a lieutenant colonel himself, already the youngest lieutenant colonel in the Imperial Army.

Salian asked him to train a strengthener?

The concept of a strengthened division means that the soldiers under its jurisdiction are at least 1.5 times that of an ordinary full-staff division!

Moreover, it is a strengthener who uses new weapons!

Such a strengthened division's combat power, under the premise of sufficient logistical supplies, can even sling an imperial army field corps that uses old-fashioned weapons!

"Golkin, will definitely live up to your Highness's expectations!"

Golkin's "pop" stood at attention and gave Salian an extremely standard military salute.

Salian nodded, then pointed at Joe.

"Joe, your luck...it is said...has been good..."
