Chapter 21: The Lord of Copper Mountain
Clos's calm answer not only surprised Gawain and Lancelot, but even Nia looked at him with suspicion.
"Hey, Cross, what do you mean by being surprised, too? Don't you know you have such strength?"
"Well, I don't know my true strength now. Cross shrugged his shoulders at Gawain in frustration.
"You're so messy! What if you die?" Gawain instantly turned into anger, and he stood up in anger.
"Isn't there Nia, who is behind me to protect me? And I'm not going to joke with my life. ”
Gawain thought to himself that Cross had a point, and that Cross himself was a cautious person and would not joke with life. So, he didn't argue anymore and sat down quietly.
However, the surprise from the heart of Cross did not diminish at all, Gawain knew that Cross had grown a lot in the Imperial Military Academy, but he never expected that Cross's growth had far surpassed that of most ordinary humans, especially in strength and speed. He suddenly felt that it was an extremely lucky thing to be a partner with such a person.
Lancelot, on the other hand, has a new respect for Cross. Becoming a warrior and killing enemies on the battlefield has always been Lancelot's luxury. Now, he has a new luxury - to fight alongside Cross, who is like the god of war.
As for Nia, she first discovered that Cross was different from ordinary people, and then discovered Cross's mysterious ability to dispel the fog in the dense fog of the Dusk Mountains. And this time, Cross's nonchaliant answer made Nia even more interested in it, and Cross was like an abyss, unable to see through and unable to see the bottom.
"Gawain, there's something I want to tell you. ”
Cross's sudden opening brought everyone on board back to their thoughts.
"What's the matter?" Gawain was a little nervous, he had the impression that once Cross was going to say something seriously, it would definitely not be a good thing.
"I've made a friendly deal with William as Lord of Coppermountain, and he should be sending the equipment over right away. In addition to equipment, there is also food, enough food for everyone in Tongshan Town to survive the winter. ”
Cross's words made Gawain's mouth open in surprise again. He even suspected that he had misheard, although he was not familiar with William, he had already seen William's stinginess, and it was simply unreasonable for such a stingy person to give so many to Tongshan Town.
But Gawain thought about it, it was not Copperhill Town that William really wanted to befriend, but Cross Klein.
"Cross Crane, I want you to be not just the lord of Copper Mountain Town, but the lord of the entire Klein Lord. Gawain knew very well that he was inferior to Cross in every way, and he had planned to return to Copperhill just to find a comfortable place to survive in the troubled times. And now, he discovers that his childhood friend has all the abilities to be a hero, and his mind changes in an instant. He hoped that this childhood friend would end the chaos in Klein Collar and, as the rumors say, "become the hope of Klein Lord." ”
However, Gawain himself has no ambitions, he just wants to enjoy the graceful and luxurious prosperous times, and the troubled times obviously can't create a foundation for his enjoyment.
"How can it be so easy to become the lord of the Klein Lord, I don't know much about the current situation, and it is very likely that we will not even be able to keep Copper Mountain Town. ”
"No, I believe you, Cross. Gawain's tone was firm.
"I believe in you too, Lord Cross. Lancelot added.
"Lord Cross, if it's you, you will be able to do it. ”
The three of them had resolute eyes, and they all believed that Cross could put an end to the current chaos in the Crane Territory and become the new lord of the Crane Territory.
And the sudden statement of these three people was beyond Cross's expectations, what he said to Gawain just now was actually just to let Gawain give up the position of the lord of Copper Mountain Town, and he was worried that Gawain was unwilling, so he did a lot of coping, and now he found that he really thought too much.
"Let's go steady, and the words of becoming Lord Crane must not be mentioned again in the future. Compared to the overly optimistic three, Cross is much more sober, and now Clay's situation has exceeded Cross's expectations. Moreover, Tongshan Town is sparsely populated and lacks materials, and it will take years for such a town to develop as a base to compete with other forces.
"Then I'll mention it one last time, Cross, after you become Lord of Crane, remember to seal me a rich place, I don't want to be the lord of Copper Mountain Town. ”
"How about giving you the entire Klein Collar Seal?"
“......”
Gawain was speechless, and everyone laughed.
......
It didn't take long for William to personally bring 20 sets of equipment to Cross with two escorts.
After some pleasantries, William departed, promising that the grain would be delivered to Copperhill in 30 days.
"William is really generous this time, he actually wants to send so much grain to Tongshan Town. Cross, you're too good, aren't you, how the hell did you do that?"
"It's the same as convincing you to save Blackwater. ”
Gawain's face was black, and everyone laughed again.
......
Later, Cross asked Gawain to check the gear.
There were 20 pieces of leather armor, 20 spears, 10 swords, 10 longbows, and hundreds of arrows.
"It's all new, Cross, do you want to change it, your black cloak is rotten, and there are blood stains on it, and it's not good to dress like that to go to Copperhill." ”
"I'll change. ”
"That's good. ”
"Nia, Lancelot, row the two boats to the north shore, and when we dock, we will light a bonfire on the shore, and then, you rest first, and I will guard first. Cross commanded.
"Lord Cross, I'll be the guard, you're tired. ”
"Lord Cross, Lord Nia, let me come, you have all consumed a lot of energy in Blackwater. ”
"Nia, Lancelot, don't talk about it, I've already decided. ”
"But ......"
"Just let him be, he's such a man, sometimes stubborn. After Gao Wen finished speaking, he lay down directly on the boat, and also took advantage of the situation to lift Erlang's legs.
Everything was going well, seeing that Gawain and the others had fallen asleep, Cross couldn't help but yawn, in fact, he had already been tired, he didn't want to sleep, he couldn't sleep.
Because, there is one thing he has always cared about, and that is the backlash of blood. Although there was no backlash in the course of the previous battle, it does not mean that this phenomenon will not occur in the following time. Moreover, he had a hunch that there would be a backlash tonight.
