After being injured by the mage's fire, Dean walked over with the leader of the cavalry.
"Kaede, are you really a poet?”
I've already told you, haven't I? She could only reluctantly take out the poet's seal and show it to him."Look! Isn't this the poet's mark? Could it be fake?"
At this moment, everyone's eyes widened as they looked at the poet's seal I took out. They were actually dumbfounded.
I couldn't help but suspect,"Is it really wrong?" A red badge with this continent in the background. There was a large open book on it. What was wrong? Eh? Wait, a red badge? He was only two levels away from the golden ultimate badge!”
Dean finally came back to his senses and said in a daze,"I didn't expect you to be a Red Labeled Poet. This…is rare. There aren't more than 100 of them in the entire continent. Luckily, you're fine. Otherwise, if the guild knew that we didn't protect the Red Labeled Poet well, our team would be doomed.”
I absent-mindedly thought,"Red label poet? It's so ugly. Is there a discount with a green label? Haha…"
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the matter of Soldier City had not been resolved yet. He said to Dean,"Is there anyone in the team who can help me reach Soldier City quickly?”
Dean thought for a moment and said," We'll find a Warrior among us to carry you and run with all our might. I think we should be able to reach in a day. But what are you doing in Soldier City?"”
"Woah! It's already so obvious, and you're still asking me why I'm in Soldier City? What was in his head? Is it soy milk?" But of course, I couldn't say all this out loud. I could only say,""I want to go there and tell the dwarves about it, and at the same time, I want to see if my speculation is correct.”
After a pause, I said," Then I'll have to trouble you to choose a Warrior to help. Also, the archer should follow along. I don't want the Warrior to be in danger of being attacked when he's weak. Besides, the archer can help me scout along the way and avoid the roads without patrols.”
"Are you really a poet?" the archer asked.”
I instantly turned into a half-berserk state and said,"Clayon." Of course, Clayon was the archer.
"Don't, I didn't say anything," said Clayon hurriedly.”After saying that, he hurriedly jumped away.
I recovered and continued to say to Dean,"I think you should be a citizen of Rome. After you bring the rest of the people back with you, tell the Marshal of Rome that other than the soldiers guarding the city, bring everyone else to Soldier City. If your Marshal asks who it is, tell him that I am Kaede.”
I patted Dean's shoulder as he stared at me in shock. Then, I left Dean's sight with Ku and Ryan, who were carrying me on their backs.
After running for half a day, the Warrior collapsed like a tired horse. Originally, Clayon wanted to help me, but as an archer, he didn't have the strength to carry me, so he could only stay.
After telling Clayon to keep an eye on him and not expose himself, he asked for directions and rushed towards Soldier City.
When Clayon and the others were no longer behind me, I looked at the horizon in the distance. My mouth moved and I disappeared.
"What? You can only teleport within your line of sight? What are you doing?" As I teleported, I couldn't help but mutter to myself.
However, I didn't know that there weren't many people who could teleport here. If the mages heard my complaints, they would probably throw things at me.
After more than an hour, the shadow of Soldier City finally appeared in front of me. However, at this time, I was a little tired. It wasn't that I was tired physically, but that my eyes were tired. I had to focus on the front to move. I was someone who would fall asleep even if I watched television!
When they reached the city gate, there didn't seem to be any signs of fighting. Although the attackers had broken through the gate, there was no sign of any major movements from the defenders. It felt like the city gate was closed for the enemy to attack. Were the dwarves stupid? Why wouldn't the enemy shoot at them if they were fighting below? At least throw some trash, right?
There were almost no humans in the city, but there were still a few animals. The dwarves seemed to have escaped before the enemy broke into the city. I once again cursed the dwarves in my heart for being stupid. Could they not know anything other than making weapons and armor?
From the main city gate to the back city gate that led to the Whispering Plateau, he realized that there was a cloud of sand and dust on the road to the Whispering Plateau.
I muttered to myself again,"Cavalry? Both sides are stupid!"
After saying that, my figure flashed and entered the forest beside the mountain that led to the plateau. I used teleportation again unwillingly.
However, because there were many trees in the forest, my vision was shortened, so I used it many times more frequently than before.
When I saw the smoke in front of me, I stopped my teleportation. As soon as I stopped, I realized that my eyes were sore. It felt like I had attended a day's class. I took a step forward and ran in the direction of the smoke.
When I arrived at the entrance of the dwarven village, I realized why I was so breathless. Even if I didn't exercise much before, I wouldn't have collapsed after running a few miles under this much lower gravity, right?
Seeing the hostile gazes of the dwarves surrounding me, I could only raise my palm and make a gesture of waiting while panting."Wait…wait, wait. It was me. After panting."
I was surprised that they really waited for me to finish panting…Should I cry or laugh?
Dwarves were really cute and innocent.
After a while, I adjusted my breathing."I'm here to help you. I wonder if the patriarch is here?”With that, I took out my red badge and showed it to everyone.
A person who was less than 1.4 meters tall walked over from afar. He did not look young. His hair and beard were already white, and there were many scars on his body that seemed to have been caused by forging.
"Help us?" he asked loudly.”
I didn't say anything, but handed him my red poet's badge.
Because I knew that the poet," Most " wouldn't lie. Back then, the mind test should have been to see if I could be manipulated and then speak nonsense, right? I didn't expect my spirit to be so much stronger than an average person's. However, perhaps it's the same among the seven of us. I think it's about the same as the stress resistance value?
"My name is Shawn, may I know who you are?”
I maintained my smile and said,"Just call me Kaede!"
After that, I followed Shawn into the Dwarf Clan's chief's office under everyone's watchful eyes. I surrounded a group of dwarves and told them everything I knew and guessed.
After seeing how straightforward the dwarves were, I didn't think that they would have any thoughts. I thought that they only wanted to protect the lives of their people. What they cared about wasn't just forging iron, so I didn't have to scheme against them. After getting along with them, I felt very relaxed.
After listening to me, Shawn shouted,"This is outrageous! How can there be such a person?"
I continued to ask,"Chief, do you have any warriors in your tribe? Can you fight?"
After hearing my question, Sonny snorted and said,""What a joke! The dwarves were all brave warriors!”
I couldn't help but ask," Why didn't I see any battles in Soldier City when I was on my way here?”
Shawn said in a low voice as if he had lost his breath,""We are all warriors! However, no one knows how to defend the city. We mostly attack alone and have never fought a big battle. Moreover, no one knows how to command so many people to fight.”
I thought to myself, What a lucky bastard, such a race hasn't been exterminated yet? God bless. They were not weak individually, but they were weak as a group.”
After daydreaming for a while, I said to Sonny,"I wonder what method you have? If not, perhaps you can listen to my opinion. Although I can't guarantee that I can defeat them, at least delay them. The reinforcements I asked for might be able to arrive in time.”
Shawn thought for a moment and said worriedly,""We don't have any ideas. We'll just listen to what you say for the time being.”
On the way here, I had been thinking about how to help the dwarves solve this problem. Since even I was panting on this plateau, I thought that the other party should be panting too. I would first find some dwarves to lure the enemy, and when the other party was a little weak, I would then use guerrilla warfare. Then, I would lure them into the mechanism and capture them like wild beasts. I wonder how long they could last?
After telling Shawn my thoughts, Shawn also felt that this was the only way for now.
In my heart, I called this battle a beast-hunting battle. After seeing the dwarves 'beast-hunting tools, I was even more convinced. There were many magic beasts on the plateau that were good at running and attacking. Just like the enemy cavalry, there were many traps specifically used to deal with them.
Counting the days, I've set off for almost three days. Dean should have arrived in Rome by now, right? The Wenda Army would appear in a day or two at most. The other party had 20,000 soldiers! There were only 3,000 Dwarves, including the ordinary Dwarves!
I kept hoping that Xiao Yun could quickly go up to the plateau, but…Don't bring me any more cavalrymen!
Rome.
" Dong…" A low and oppressive alarm rang throughout the entire city. The soldiers who were resting and waiting to take up their posts quickly gathered. The soldiers in the camp and on holiday rushed to their reporting area. The pedestrians on the road automatically made way for them. In this tense atmosphere, one person ran to the Marshal's residence.
Si Yun frowned and asked,"Milo, who raised the alarm?"”
Just as Milo was about to answer, the butler rushed in and said to Si Yun,""Marshal, someone outside requests an audience, saying that Kaede called him over.”
"Quick!" Si Yun said excitedly. Let him come!"
After Dean came in, he told me in detail what I had encountered and what I had speculated.
Si Yun closed her eyes and pondered for a while before saying,"Very good. You can go to the Adventurer's Guild to collect your quest. My butler will lead you there.”
Just as Dean was about to ask what the guild had to do with it, Si Yun slowly said,""Milo, 10,000 light armored infantrymen are riding on horses. Allocate 3,000 to pick up the horses that we have left behind along the way. When the time comes, only the light armored soldiers will go up the mountain.”
"Understood," Milo replied respectfully.”With that, he turned around and strode out of the Marshal's residence.
Si Yun sighed in her heart." It's been almost two years since the last time I went to the battlefield. The moment you appeared, you found me something to do. I don't know how many troops Wenda has, but I don't think it's a problem for you, right?”
The sirens in the city were the hoofprints of many scouts found in Roman territory. It seemed that someone was eyeing Rome.
The streets were now filled with discussions. Some people were guessing what was going on. When the citizens saw the purple armor, they all gasped and thought,"It's the marshal himself! What kind of enemy would make the marshal, who had been away from the battlefield for nearly two years, come out?”
In less than an hour, the cavalrymen headed to Soldier City.
The entire army finally arrived at Soldier City after three days of running. There were no longer any cavalrymen left. Ma Du had left 2,000 of the 10,000 soldiers to deal with the aftermath. The current Roman army only had 8,000 people, 3,000 logistics personnel, and 5,000 soldiers who could go to the battlefield. Along the way, they had not seen the supplies of the Wenda Army. It seemed that they were determined to get it, or had they underestimated the dwarves?
The Roman general Qi Siyun, who was riding a white horse and raising its hooves, was not brought along, because they were just a group of raiders.
He planned to sneak in behind the Wenda soldiers and give them a fatal blow!
