Working Prophet

Hells didn't know why the army disappeared.

For hundreds of years, the clans and tribes in the Dragon's Back Mountains had been at odds with the empire, which led to the fact that the nobles in the Western Region knew very little about them.

Moreover, those guys, like the lizard people in the Gaigu Great Swamp, have their own language. Unlike people in other parts of the continent who use common language to communicate, this makes it more difficult for people outside to communicate with them.

"I found a guy, his nickname is Big Hand, and he is a groom." The acting city lord of Yanxue City continued.

"Why...why are you suddenly talking about this?" Ilea was puzzled.

"Big Hand's mother is a savage in the Dragon's Back Mountains. She comes from a tribe called Big Palm. It is said that the people in that tribe have very big hands, which is also the origin of the nickname Big Hand." Hells explained.

"A savage?"

"No, Big Hand grew up in Yanxue City. His mother fell in love with his father, but the Big Hand tribe did not allow people in the tribe to marry outsiders, so the two eloped overnight and left the Dragon's Back Mountains. "

"Because of his mother, Dashou is familiar with the Dragon's Back Mountains, and he can also speak the words of the savages. If you want to go into the mountains, he should be able to help."

"Wait a minute, you just said me, not us, aren't you going together?" Miss Rabbit asked.

"The order my father gave me before he left was to guard Yanxue City. He told me that until he comes back, no matter what happens, I can't leave here."

Hells said, "Although I am very worried about the safety of my father and other nobles and soldiers, I cannot participate in this rescue."

"Then who will lead the army?"

After Miss Rabbit said this, she noticed that everyone around her was looking at her.

"Sir Ilea, you have brought the most troops this time, and you are also the champion of the tournament, possessing unparalleled martial prowess.

"The most important thing is that when the black dragon was raging in the Western Territory, you had already served as the commander-in-chief once and led everyone to the final victory, so you are also expected to be the commander-in-chief this time.

The female lord was a little dumbfounded when she heard this, mainly because she didn't know how to march and fight.

Although the decisive battle with the black dragon was thrilling, it actually happened at her doorstep. Miss Rabbit didn't even go out, and the person who made the strategy before the battle was also Li Yu.

But the girl did not panic because of this. On the one hand, she had seen a lot of strong winds and waves now, and she was no longer as restless as before.

Besides, it's about commanding an army. Although she can't do it, she knows who can.

Duren - the former captain of the Royal Guards, all the Royal Guards were under his command. Whether it was martial arts or commanding ability, he was definitely the best. Commanding these nobles in the Western Region was no problem.

And he happens to be in the accompanying team. If she encounters any problem, Miss Rabbit only needs to ask him for advice.

In addition, Li Yu also attached great importance to this matter and sent a very luxurious team with several holy weapons to help.

This also gave the female lord greater confidence.

Thinking of this, Ilea no longer hesitated, nodded and said, "Okay, then I will be the commander-in-chief this time."

Hells was overjoyed, "Big Hand, I sent people to Sir Morse. In the previous battle, we captured some savage prisoners, most of whom were directly executed, but there were less than a hundred people left."

"Sir Morse is interrogating them. You can go see Sir Morse first. He and his people are stationed outside Dragon's Back Mountain. They still have a lot of supplies there. Those things are yours now."

Ilea stayed in Rock Snow City for two days, and there were still four days left before the deadline set by Hells.

But the female lord didn't want to wait any longer, mainly because there was still no news about Marquis Cullen and the army from the Dragon's Back Mountains.

Five thousand people have gathered here in Yanxue City, which already has a numerical advantage compared to those savage tribes.

There are still some territories that are relatively far away. If they can all rush over, it is estimated that there will be one or two thousand more people.

However, a full half month has passed since Marquis Cullen and others disappeared, and the ominous premonition hanging over everyone's minds has become increasingly intense.

Ilea was really worried that if the delay continued, even if the missing army could be found, she didn't know how many people would be left.

Therefore, after consulting Du Lun and others, Miss Rabbit decided to leave early.

With this newly assembled army, they rushed all the way to Dragon's Back Mountain and met Sir Morse and his three hundred men at Solid Rock Castle.

Although this castle has a name that sounds very defensive, it is actually neither very strong nor made of stone.

It was just a wooden castle, belonging to the Kovat family, a small family that Ilea had never heard of.

Although Solid Stone Castle is located in the westernmost part of the empire, it is still neighbors with the clans and tribes in Longji Mountain.

But because of the long-term friendly relationship between the two parties, and the fact that the Cowart family couldn't raise the money to build the stone castle, they had to make do with it.

Until not long ago, when the savages came down from the mountains, the first thing to suffer was Solid Rock Castle.

It can be said that the Kovat family suffered heavy losses. Not only did the head of the family, Togra, die in battle, but Togra's daughter, wife, and sister were also kidnapped by the savages.

The only person who escaped was Togra's son Wilkin, who was only twelve years old. Because the Kovat family did not have a dedicated teacher, he learned to write in the town next door. This saved his life.

And when he came back, he had no relatives left, and the castle at home was set on fire by those crazy savages.

Later, the army came and temporarily requisitioned this area to store grain, grass and baggage. Morse also built some simple defense facilities nearby.

He was obviously less than ninety years old and still in his prime among orcs, but those who were familiar with Morse found that when they met again, the middle-aged noble seemed to be several decades older, with wrinkles covering the corners of his eyes. The temples are also white.

"Sir Ilea!" As soon as Morse saw the female lord, he could no longer control his emotions and suddenly fell to his knees on the ground.

"Please take people into the mountains immediately to rescue the Marquis and the others. They have been trapped in the mountains for more than twenty days!"

Miss Rabbit was startled and quickly went over to help Morse, but she couldn't help him up.

It seemed that as long as the female lord did not agree, he would not stand up again.

Ilea comforted her, "Don't be anxious first. Tell me about the situation you have."
