Lord Highlander

   Chapter 664 653. Preparation

   "Talk, I'm going to bed first, don't disturb me!"

Just now they were fighting to the death, but the next moment Aphrodite seemed to have completely forgotten the battle just now, took out a blanket from the closet, left Suldak and Viru in the living room, and went back to the room alone inside.

  Viru didn't seem interested in inquiring about the situation of the succubus Aphrodite, touching the oily wound on his neck, marveling at Aphrodite's cruelty.

"I want to go to the desert to find a group of bandits. They often plunder the villagers in the barren land. I plan to drive them all to the depths of the desert this winter." Suldak said to Viru, and he also prepared a lot of excuses , such as how cruel and hateful those robbers are, they only kill some unarmed villagers...

   "Okay, I'll help you with this!" Viru readily agreed without even asking about the details of the plan.

  Suldak looked at the tightly closed door of the room, and said to Viru: "Wait until tomorrow, Aphrodite will take you to Wall Village."

   "Aren't you going back?" Viru asked a little strangely.

  The room was a little cool, Suerdak leaned on the sofa, resting his head on his hands behind his head and said:

   "I have other things to do in Hailansa City."

"Then I'll come back tomorrow." Viru said to Suldak. He thought that Suldak and Aphrodite lived together. What he saw in his eyes was a completely strange look.

  Memory can be restored slowly, Viru thought in his heart.

  He pulled the bandage on his face and walked towards the terrace.

"etc!"

Suldak called him from behind, Viru turned his head, thinking that Suldak had remembered something, but Suldak just touched his hand to the magic pocket, took out a piece of fresh meat wrapped in oiled paper, threw it Gave it to Viru.

  The grease on the salamander meat had already soaked the paper. He tore off a small corner and found a piece of fresh meat with the breath of fire inside. He asked:

   "You know I need this?"

  Suldak nodded, and raised one hand to his chest, a ball of holy light emerged from his hand, which was extraordinarily dazzling in the dark room.

   "I have mastered a little power of the Holy Light and am good at healing some injuries."

  Suldak said to Viru.

Vilu was slightly taken aback, took a deep breath and said, "It seems that you are really not Qiangbach? He is a shield warrior, and his posture is a golden armored guard, which is completely different from your ability, but I am also a little curious about For your business, I will come to you tomorrow."

   As he spoke, Viru jumped onto the wooden fence post on the terrace, jumped down, and disappeared into the vast night.

  …

   Passing through the Nether Gate, Suldak returned to the security post in Vol Village.

Andrew was sitting by the fireplace in the living room on the first floor of the police station. Broth was boiling in an iron pot. He was tearing up a piece of hard wheat cake and putting it into the soup pot. There was a glass of ale beside him. He was not afraid of being hot, so he stretched out his hand He took out a piece of soft boiled meat and bone from the soup pot, swallowed it in a few mouthfuls, poured a glass of cold ale into his stomach, and burped in satisfaction.

Now that Andrew is wearing the 'Earth Shield' magic-weave structure, he seems to have adapted to the increase in physical attributes brought by the magic-weave structure. Originally, he was fierce when he awakened the 'Berserker's Soul', but now he has the magic-weave structure protection, even more reckless in battle.

   Seeing Suldak walk out of the void gate, he was not surprised at all. He pointed to the soup pot and asked Suldak, "Why did you come back so late, why don't you eat something together?"

   "There are a lot of things to deal with over there, why did you have dinner so late?" Suldak sat down by the fireplace.

Andrew broke the scones in his hand into pieces, put them into the soup pot, stirred them casually with a wooden spoon, then moved the soup pot in front of him, and while blowing hot air, he said to Suldak: "I'm bringing The young people in the village walked around outside, and the footprints of this group of damned desert robbers are almost touching the edge of the Great Rift Valley."

Suldak glanced at the map that Andrew took out. It recorded the movement track of the desert bandits every time they invaded the barren land. Andrew used simple lines to draw it. The graffiti on it, many areas on it have been painted out, only Suldak and Andrew can understand, this is the habitual trajectory of those desert robbers in the barren land.

  Every time Andrew goes out on patrol, he always goes to the place with the darkest wiring harness on the map...

Suldak took an apple from the fruit plate on the square table, and said to Andrew: "This time I hired a mercenary group. These people are masters in field warfare. I plan to let those young people in the village who have not served in the military Follow us into the desert, even if you follow the mercenary regiment and watch the battle, it is good to learn combat experience from them."

Andrew Huluhulu stuffed a pot of hot bubble cakes into his stomach, and then asked: "They are still far from qualified fighters, if they can understand the Maca plane, I can bring back a Nanai clan Soldiers come!"

Suldak shook his head and said, "I will ask the old village chief, Uncle Brett, to go to the villages to do some pre-war mobilization. This time we will recruit veterans who have certain combat experience and are willing to join the cavalry battalion. For the welfare of the villagers in Er, their families will be resettled in the village of Er, and a certain living allowance will be given every month, it is estimated that some people will be willing to join."

  It was only then that Andrew knew what Suldak was thinking.

  Indeed, for villagers in other villages, being able to join Wall Village is definitely their dream.

Suldak then remembered something, and said to Andrew: "By the way, the guard battalion has arranged for me some reserve knights who have just graduated from the academy, and they are specially used to form the guard battalion knight squadron. They will be handed over to you for short-term training, and for a long time to come, the law and order in the barren land will depend on them to maintain."

  Suldak said: "Don't go out to patrol these days, and ask Uncle Brett to come over to the small townhouse next to the security station. It will be temporarily used as a dormitory for the guard battalion knights and the cavalry battalion."

  Andre rubbed his head in pain, and said, "Oh. There is still a whole one and a half vacant townhouses, so you don't have to worry about the dormitory for now."

   "Tomorrow I have to return to Hailansa City, and I will probably come back officially tomorrow night."

  Suldak stood up, pushed open the door of the security station and walked out.

"knew."

  Andrew's husky voice came from behind.

  …

  The streets in the village are flat, and there are even a row of concrete pillar street lamps erected on both sides of the cement road in the middle.

  There is a beautiful glass cover on it, and inside is an oil lamp burning with suet. The light is dim, and it can only illuminate a few steps below the stone pillar. However, this row of street lights makes the night in Wall Village look so alive.

The drainage ditches have been frozen solid in winter, and Suerdak walked along the concrete road in the village to the river. The river in the village is temporarily dry, and a thick layer of snow is covered under the riverbed. , the pool that was originally used to wash starch in the village has now become an ice rink. Ke could even feel the cheerful laughter of the village children on the ice rink.

   Walking not far downstream along the river, you can see the yellow sheep pen in the village. The sheep pen has expanded several times compared to last year. Now there are probably nearly a thousand yellow sheep in it.

  However, these sheep were not bred, but were bought by Suldak from the city of Hailansa one after another. After all, there is an ogre in the village who likes to eat mutton.

Next to the sheep pen are stables and camel pens. The number of horses that can be used to pull four-wheeled carts in Wall Village has increased to more than eighty. There are more than a dozen dromedary camels. All these big animals are raised here. There is no alfalfa in the barren land. It is usually thorn grass and thirsty grass. After the wheat stalks are crushed, some beans are added to it. Only then will these animals not lose weight in winter.

   Perhaps Suldak's footsteps were too loud, or perhaps the ogre Gulitum was too vigilant.

As soon as Suldak walked to the side of the sheep pen, he saw Gulitum come out of a felt room next to the camel pen. A big head looked towards Suldak. His eyesight was very good. Well, I recognized Suldak standing next to the sheepfold at a glance.

   "Oh! Duck, you're back...Andrew and I brought back a lot of camels this time, and I have a large hump left here, do you want to take it back and try it?"

   The ogre strode up to Suldak cordially and said happily.

   "Ah, good!"

  Suldak readily agreed.

   I remember that a great traveler once said: ‘Being able to let the ogre part out the meat that reaches the mouth shows that you have obtained the true friendship of the ogre. '

After Gulitum took out the hump, Suldak realized that the hump was really big, and because the ogre hadn't skinned the camel's hair, the ogre burned the camel's hair off, and the whole hump looked black and hard. , He pulled out a skinning knife, cut a piece on the left side of the hump, and said to Gulitham: "Even if the whole family eats such a large piece of meat, I can't eat that much. I just cut a piece and take it away. This meat is really good." Fat and tender!"

   "Yes, this is the fattest meat on a camel..." Gulitham said with drooling.

   "Okay, take a good rest. After a while, we will go to the desert to catch more camels." After finishing speaking, Suldak patted the ogre's arm and left the sheep pen with the piece of camel meat.

   "Okay!" Gulitham said happily while sitting on the wooden pier next to the felt room.

This time when he came back from the sulfur mine in Pustout Mountain, Suldak hadn’t seen Selina yet, and returning home so late might wake everyone up, so Suldak directly crossed the dry creek and came to Under the small building of Selena's house.

  Suldak knocked on the door, the lights in the living room of the townhouse turned on, and Selena's figure appeared at the door, welcoming Suldak in.
