Master Overlord - Chapter 385
The speed of the army was slower than Issa thought.
They started from DOMA town a month ago and went all the way north. Until now, they finally arrived at the territory of the Davidson family, ligpos.
Before that, she had never ridden a horse for such a long time.
At first, she had a trace of expectation for a long trip, thinking that even if it was not what she wanted, she could see the scenery in different places she had never seen before.
But before they left averier County, the bumps and wind and sun for days had tortured her half dead.
Because of sitting in the saddle for a long time, her hips were scarred and bleeding, her thighs were red, swollen and peeling due to friction, and her hands were blistered by the reins. It was painful to move her fingers a little. The muscles of her feet and back hurt so much that she couldn’t sit straight. In the past, she had never thought that riding a horse was such a difficult thing.
I need a carriage, a carriage with soft cushions. She has called in her heart countless times – bazaar has already given up riding and rode with the women and children of the tribe. Elif and gulbin also advised her not to be too hard on herself.
But she didn’t want to give up.
She kept telling herself again and again in her heart that as TUTA’s wife and Kara, once she gave up riding, she would be laughed at by the people of all tribes, and her husband would be dissatisfied and disgusted with her. And she doesn’t want to be as useless as bazaar!
So she began to ask the guard for advice on equestrian skills, gradually adapting to the bumps on the horse’s back, jumping forward with the ups and downs of the horse, slowing down and stretching her hips and legs.
It was not easy at first. Instead of becoming more relaxed, she was tortured in great pain. Every night, you must get off the horse with the help of others.
But with the efforts and attempts again and again, the mare under her crotch became more and more docile, as if she could understand her mind.
Her legs became stronger and stronger, the blisters in her palm became calluses, and the pain all over her gradually dissipated.
Finally, she was reborn.
On that day, when she rode horses to catch up with TUTA’s army from the rear of the team, the blood alliance guard made a way for her, and TUTA cast a favorable look from the front.
At that moment, all the pain and efforts turned into pride and pride. She was finally able to ride beside TUTA freely.
And when riding is no longer a torture, the hard and long journey has finally had a little fun.
Walking in the front of the procession, all the scenery she saw was full of vitality and undisturbed – the large group of people who followed closely lasted more than ten miles. They would trample on the land and make the river muddy, and the dust would be like yellow sand in the sky. It was really difficult to be comfortable.
Of course, compared with the scenery, what is more important is that she has been recognized by TUTA and all the people. In their eyes, women who can’t ride freely don’t deserve to be their Kara!
“There is a hotel not far ahead.” during the journey, elif on horseback said, “as long as we arrive at the hotel, we continue to travel north for about 20 miles, and we can see the road heading west. The whole ligopos county is under the command of the Davidson family, and the Lord Marquis DEX Davidson now holds the post of tax minister in the court and is one of the king’s important ministers…”
At the time of elif’s introduction, two blood alliance guards in charge of exploring the way galloped back and stopped in front of everyone.
When the two finished their report, Issa looked sideways at elif and said, “they found the hotel you said, but it was not empty. Someone waited there with many carriages full of grain and said it was a gift to TUTA. The other party claimed to be the Lord here and wanted to see TUTA and say there was something important.”
“Lord…” elif thought and asked, “what pattern is their flag?”
“Two intertwined vipers,” said Issa after asking.
“It’s Baron Gary Herman,” elif explained. “The other party is the vassal of the Davidson family. Most of the southern area we’re going to cross is his vassal. He should want to pray for peace from TUTA.”
“Can you recognize him?”
Elif nodded: “I have had a relationship with Baron Galli for several times. The last time was a year ago.”
After Issa translated elif’s words completely, at TUTA’s command, the party continued to drive along the wide dirt road to the loreg hotel in front.
……
“Baron, I haven’t seen you for a long time. You still look elegant.” about half an hour later, elif looked at the figure in front of him and spoke first to prove his identity.
Baron Gary Herman was dressed in a brown silk robe. In his old age, he bent his back, his hair was all white, his thin cheeks were covered with wrinkles, and his high nose made his eyes more sunken.
“You… Are you elif?” the old Sir took his eyes away from the Warcraft in front of him and looked at elif on the horse. After confirming that he didn’t admit his mistake, his face changed from fear to joy.
“Elif, it’s really you! That’s great. Are you working for TUTA now?” he said enthusiastically and excitedly, as if he had met an old friend he hadn’t seen for many years.
Elif did not answer his question, even though the other party showed enthusiasm he had never seen before.
When elif introduced Issa’s identity, Baron Herman Galli bowed and said: “Dear Miss Bertha Bilson, it’s a great honor to meet you. I’m ordered by Marquis DEX Davidson to pay high tribute to you and TUTA. This 100 truckload of grain is a gift from all our legpos nobles to TUTA. I hope you can convey our goodwill to TUTA.”
“I’m not a young lady. You can call me Kara!” Issa stressed solemnly, pulling the reins. “You can speak more gamian. The soldiers who came into contact with you have told you that.”
It was not the first time that a similar situation occurred. As early as entering the territory of the Eder family, nobles came to offer gifts and pray for protection from his husband’s army. Only gulbin was the interpreter and negotiator at that time.
“Dear Carla, I don’t speak much gamian. What I said before is just temporary advice from the slaves, and they are all here now.” Baron Herman raised his hand and pointed to the rear.
When Issa glanced over, she saw nearly 100 figures dressed in clean clothes standing beside carriages full of food. They had men, women and even children. If she hadn’t specially reminded them, she wouldn’t think these people were wild people and slaves.
“These are all the grassland people in ligpos county. We are willing to release them unconditionally just to express our sincere respect to TUTA and hope that TUTA can show mercy and protect the civilians in our territory from looting.”
Issa looked deeply at the humble and bent Baron Herman Gali, and then truthfully told her husband what he had said.
After some communication, Issa said again, “TUTA accepted your gift. As a return gift, TUTA promised not to loot your territory, but you must also pay compensation for enslaving these tribal people with two carriages and food. Do you accept it?”
Upon hearing this, sir Herman immediately showed a look of joy and promised, “thanks to TUTA’s kindness, I can promise instead of other nobles in ligupous county that we are willing to pay compensation.” after a pause, he looked at Issa and said, “Dear Carla, are you going to the west?”
“Where did you hear the news?” asked isa gravely.
“Almost all the nobles of the Kingdom have heard that TUTA is going to the West.” the old Sir said calmly, “Dear Kara, you may not be early in the morning, just before you go to the capria collar, where all civilians and nobles have taken their belongings and food to the West and hid in the town. At the moment, the capria collar can be said to be a completely uninhabited wilderness.”
“It’s no surprise that they ran away because of fear, but soon they will understand that the wall can’t protect their lives and property. They should take the initiative to give food as a gift like you.”
I’m afraid they don’t have so much food. The old Sir thought in his heart and remained respectful on his face: “I’m afraid they won’t do this. Before you arrive in the west, no one in front of you will respect TUTA like us.”
“Why?” asked Issa subconsciously. She heard danger in each other’s words.
“You must not know that not long ago, Duke farit of the West married his daughter to our only son of the Duke of the north, pace kewilt, and held a grand wedding. Now, the north and the West are close. If TUTA wants to capture the west, the kewilt family will never sit idly by.”
