Lord Highlander

  Chapter 659 648. Suldak’s Security Squadron

  The succubus Aphrodite wrapped herself in a fur coat, and even wore a thick mask on her face, looking very much like a northern woman.

She stood in the shadow by the wall, pushed Suldak away with disgust, and said with some resentment: "You may not imagine how cold it is in the mountains and fields at this time. What I have to do every day is to ride in the carriage." Sitting bored in a place all day long, unable to reach the next town because of the snow on the road, enclosing all the carriages and camping in the wilderness, and being forced to detour because the road ahead is blocked by snow, you don’t experience Once I may never realize the hard work involved, although I am a succubus, it does not mean that I am not afraid of the cold!"

  The magic summoning circle on the ground disappeared little by little. Suldak didn't care about Aphrodis' disgusting gaze, and pulled the succubus Aphrodis out of the uninhabited alley.

   "Sorry, I thought you would enjoy this trip!" Suldak felt that he should appease Aphrodite.

  Aphrodite took off the mask, with a mature and **** face, and said to Suldak: "The scenery on this journey is still good, but it's a bit boring to be alone..."

  It is very close to the Garden Plaza Hotel in High Lansa City. Aphrodite is very familiar with this place, and she even booked a room from the hotel owner, Mrs. Nian Cohen.

Seeing Suldak and Aphrodite walking in side by side, the proprietress Mrs. Cohen said with a look of surprise: "Duck, where did you come from? Why didn't I see you when Aphrodite was choosing a room yesterday?" you!"

  Suldak stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Cohen, and said, "I just entered the city. I made a special trip to pick up Aphrodite and return to the barren land. She traveled to the city of Bena a few days ago."

  Suldak and Aphrodite were just about to go upstairs when the proprietress, Madam Cohen, caught up from behind and asked enthusiastically, "Dark, I cooked some apples, do you want to try them?"

  Suldak quickly said: "No, thank you, we have to rush to the airport pier later."

  Then the two climbed up the 'Z'-shaped stairs to the room with the attic on the top floor. This room is usually empty most of the time. Only when some old customers come, Mrs. Cohen will take out the key to entertain friends.

  Back in the room, there is a bottle of golden cider on the table next to the window.

  Aphrodite poured two glasses of golden cider, handed it to Suldak, took off her mask and took a sip.

Leaning on the sofa in the room, Aphrodite squinted her eyes and asked Suldak: "The batch of full armor is temporarily stored in the warehouse of the coach shop, and there are quite a few coachmen who want to take this job." , do you want to hire them to transport those full-face armors to Wall Village?"

"Calculating the time, the war horses we bought in Bena City should have arrived. I am going to wait for the airport pier, and then transport them back to Wall Village with these full armors. I guess what we need is not the coachman in the carriage shop. , but should find some horse drivers." Suldak sat opposite Aphrodite and asked her: "By the way, do you want to go to Pustule Mountain, where you can see volcanoes and lava , it’s just volcanic ash everywhere.”

  Aphrodite glanced at Suldak and said directly: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

"Um, what I want to say is, Aphrodite, can you stay on the side of Pustule Mountain for me for a while?" Suldak asked cautiously. He also knew that his request was a little too much, but he I've been so busy recently, and I'm even a little out of control.

  Aphrodite asked in amazement: "You want me to live on the side of Pustule Volcano?"

   "Well, just stay for a while." Suldak nodded and said.

   "How long will it take?" Aphrodite asked.

  Suldak replied, "About a few weeks, maybe two weeks, maybe four weeks. "

  Aphrodite waved her hand and said, "There are also several volcanoes billowing with smoke all day next to my previous residence. I know how to live there, but you'd better move quickly."

   "I will solve the matter over there as soon as possible!" When Suldak said this, he obviously lacked confidence.

In the afternoon, Suldak rushed to the airport pier of Hailansa City. He found the administrator on the pier and was informed that more than 30 ancient Bolai war horses arrived in Hailansa three days ago and are currently being fostered at the airport pier. After paying the foster care fee, Suldak hired two coachmen who could herd horses for two silver coins outside the gate of the airport pier, and asked them to drive the horses to the carriage house.

   These more than 30 ancient Bolai horses and full armor will be transported to Wall Village tomorrow.

Aphrodite needs to stay in Hailansa City until Suldak handles all the things here. In Hailansa City, the succubus Aphrodite does not have too many scruples. The Hailansa Guard Battalion Many knights have seen Aphrodite, so as long as she doesn't go to the mage's tower, she can wander around the city at will.

  The beauty of the winter mountain city is wrapped in ice and snow. Many seas of pines and cypresses on the street maintain their green color. Aphrodite accompanied Suldak to the parade square in front of the city hall.

  Leaving her here, Suldak went to report to the guard camp.

Walking into the familiar guard camp, many knights of the guard camp greeted Suldak as soon as he entered the gate. Now he can be regarded as the squadron leader of the guard camp and the middle level of the guard camp. Thinking of a year ago, he was only a mere He was just a reserve knight who stepped down from the battlefield. He has experienced many things in just over a year, and now Suldak has become a noble baron.

  He walked to the front desk and asked the female receptionist on duty, "Are Squadron Captain Karl and Captain Sauron there?"

  The female receptionist seemed to recognize Suldak's identity, and hurriedly said to him, "Captain Sauron is out on a mission, and Squadron Captain Karl happened to be here today."

  Suldak nodded.

He walked along the corridor to the end, walked up some old wooden stairs, and found the lounge of the support group. A group of knights from the support group were chatting and playing cards in the lounge. Seeing Suldak enter the room, he quickly called him to play cards together .

  Suldak pointed to the room on the inside, and asked the knights outside: "Karl is inside?"

   After receiving an affirmative answer, Suldak came to the door and knocked.

   "Come in!" A steady voice came from behind the door.

Suldak pushed open the wooden door. Karl was sitting on a chair in front of the desk and sorting out a document. When he looked up, he found Suldak standing at the door. He happily invited him in and asked, "Dark, what are you doing?" How come? I thought it would be over in the Badlands all winter."

  Suldak and Karl hugged, sat on the chair opposite the desk, and said to Karl: "I'm here to collect the materials and funds for the next quarter. Isn't Captain Sauron here?"

  Although the Badlands Security Squadron of the Badlands Guard Battalion has not yet recruited people, Suldak needs to get all the materials and funds allocated for this quarter.

Karl poured a cup of tea for Suldak, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Captain Sauron is rushing to the city of Bena. It seems that the military headquarters has some tasks that require the full cooperation of the entire province's guard battalion." Viscount Emmett is in charge of the daily affairs of the Hailansa Guard Battalion these days, I will take you to him, how is the formation of the Knight Squadron of the Guard Battalion in your side?"

Asked by Karl, Suldak realized that he had to form not only the militia battalion and the private cavalry battalion, but also the security squadron of the guard battalion. War horses are hard to buy, I went to the horse market in Bena City a few days ago, and there are no horses there!"

Karl didn't expect Suldak to say this, he hesitated for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "The horses of the Security Squadron of the Guard Battalion, the Guard Battalion should help you solve it, you might as well talk to Viscount Emmett later. He mentions it."

  Suldak stared at Karl with wide eyes, and said a little excitedly: "Can the guard battalion come forward to deal with the war horse?"

  Carl nodded and said: "A guard battalion squadron only needs 60 horses. I think the Hailansa Logistics and Military Supply Department should be able to get them."

  …

Viscount Emmet looked at Karl with a smile on his face and Suldak who was sitting upright on the other side of the table, and said helplessly: "You need to submit an application in writing. Recently, there have been frequent wars in the Green Empire, so the strategy of War Horse It is difficult to apply for supplies, you have to wait in line for the upper quota, and you don’t know how long you have to wait for sixty horses.”

   Sure enough, it is not as simple as Karl said, Suldak thought to himself.

Karl was just about to ask, but Viscount Emmet waved his hand and blocked the words in his throat. Viscount Emmet said to Suldak again: "Even if you don't come here from the barren land this time, this notice is still worth it." It will be delivered to you immediately. The guard battalion has already arranged all the knight places in the security squadron, but the snow in the mountains here is too heavy, so it has not been handed over to you. I have a list, you You can take it and have a look."

   As he spoke, Viscount Emmet handed a piece of parchment full of names in the drawer to Surdak.

Suldak took it in his hand and carefully looked at the information on the list. Unexpectedly, the guard battalion still forced some young knights to come to him. Suldak said to Viscount Emmett: "Everyone Young men who have graduated from the Knight Academy?"

  Viscount Emmet corrected with a serious face: "They are all young people with knight status. If you want to join the guard camp, you must have knight status."

Seeing Suldak sitting there with his head bowed and silent, Karl stepped on Suldak under the table and gave him a wink. Suldak pinched his nose and said, "Okay, what do you say?" It's up to you."

  Although he was dissatisfied with the arrangement of the guard battalion, Suldak could only bite the bullet and agree after seeing Carl's hint.

Seeing that Suldak agreed although he was reluctant, Viscount Emmet's face turned pale, and then he knocked on the table with his hand and said to Suldak: "These young knights are not all good, at least they Everyone has their own horses!"

Then he whispered: "Originally, considering the harsh environment of the barren land, no one would like to go there to eat sand, but now the major legions are on the battlefield of the plane, and it is not too safe there. Compared with the battlefield of the plane , These people are more willing to go to the barren land to eat sand. There are not many places for this group of young knights to choose after graduation this year. There are more than 60 vacancies in the guard camp, and they are almost all divided up by those in the House of Representatives. Now the Hailansa House of Representatives has officially issued a written notice, requiring the guard battalion to strictly implement the guard battalion recruitment standards..."

   After finishing speaking, Viscount Emmet also showed a look of helplessness.

  Suldak didn't expect this to happen, so he quickly stood up and said, "I completely obey the arrangement of the guard battalion. Can I lead them to the Badlands Security Squadron this time?"

Viscount Emmet waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and said: "Of course, Sauron and I have proposed in the House of Representatives that the law and order in the barren land is not very good. But those members think that the law and order in the barren land is not very good. No matter how bad it is, it’s better than the Warsaw plane! So Sauron and I have been asking Karl to persuade you recently, and of course it’s best if you can figure it out now.”

Suldak nodded, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Viscount Emmett: "Captain Emmett, there have been frequent robbers on the desert side in the barren land recently, and I urgently need manpower to maintain law and order there." , when will these young knights go to Wall Village?"

  Viscount Emmett lowered his head and calculated, and said: "In three days, I will ask Karl to personally send the person to Wall Village!"

  Karl was a little dumbfounded, and muttered something in a low voice where Viscount Emmett couldn't see.

Leaving Viscount Emmett's room, Karl grabbed Suldak by the collar, pushed him into the corner of the corridor, and asked angrily, "Why is it so urgent, we can't stay in Hailansha for a few more days, and we have to Shall I send these graduates there specially?"

Suldak clapped Karl's hand away and said to him: "Recently desert bandits have been looting natural villages in the northwest in the barren land. I came to Hailansa City this time to prepare to hire a mercenary from the mercenary union." The regiment, it is best to hire a Hawkeye who has a 'Earth Vision'."

Karl stared at Suldak dumbfounded and said, "Eh? Do you know how much you need to pay to hire a mercenary group? Do you know what an eagle eye of 'Earth Vision' represents? Your brimstone How much money can the mine earn to allow you to spend so recklessly?"

  The two of them did not stay on the third floor of the guard camp, but walked down the wooden stairs.

  Suldak asked Karl: "Does it matter if you are in the mercenary union? I need to hire a professional mercenary group, and I don't need some showy!"

   "Of course, let's go, I'll take you there and get your gold coins ready, but I'm not sure whether I can hire Hawkeye!" Karl reminded Suldak.

The mercenary union was not too far from the guard camp, and the two of them did not ride horses. They walked west along the road in front of the city hall and passed the House of Representatives. They walked around the intersection in front of them and saw the mercenary union facing the street. At this time, the mercenary union The door to the union was open, and there were many mercenaries of various professions sitting on the steps.
