Chapter 187: The Siege of Idol City (1)
In fact, Mr. Mayne had to deal with not only Lord Xavier, but also the commander of the Revival Corps. As for the Revival Corps, it is located in the Red Valley a few days away.
The Legion Commander Oraya deliberately set up camp on the slopes of the Red Valley. In this way, the maple leaf plank road has become a dangerous barrier to cut off Mayne's legion.
Under a red-leaved tree, Auraya waits for Blacksmith Mori to finish repairing her armor. She looked at the silver sword carved Kai and was in a daze for a while. There was a chisel mark from the axe below the chest of the armor, a rivet interface on the side, and even a right shoulder armor missing, but there was a feeling that Auraya didn't want to trade it for another repaired full-body knight's armor from Mori's shop. Looking at the armor recommended by Sen, Olaya shook her head more than once. Later, Sen gave up the recommendation.
Listening to the sound of the hammer, Oraya watched Sen work carefully. Mori removed the loose rivet and nailed the new rivet to the joint, and then Olaya was a little relieved.
Sensing that Olaya was concentrating, Sen stopped what he was doing and stretched his numb arm: "You know how important this armor is by looking at it, how long has it been with you?" He rarely said such things, because almost no one would do this like Auraya - she had repaired one piece of armor over and over again, and now it was almost falling apart, and if it weren't for Sen's skill, Auraya's knight's armor would have been thrown into the pile of broken iron.
"On the right, do you see?" Mori tilted his head. The place he was referring to was the place where the wooden chest was placed under the anvil, and there were other bits and pieces of armor except for the two armguards without the breastplate, and in short, there was no complete set of armor.
"It's been about ten years. Time always dilutes things, and I can't remember when I started following Kyle," Auraya picked up the armor he had replaced from her armor, "but, that year, Kyle became the head of the Templar Order. ”
"That's more than 10 years. If the armor breaks, it needs to be replaced, but you still treat it as a treasure, and you've asked me to fix it more than ten times. If "Mori takes the armor piece from Auraya's hand and throws it into the wooden box.
"He's pretty good at his craft," said Gabriel, neatly dressed and standing behind Olaya, his smashed helmet in his hand, "where did you get these dexterous men?"
"They're all from all over the world, they're all homeless," Olaya turned, "are you going to be together?" our outposts are indeed reliable, but I want you to meet us in the rear, because our opponents this time are different than usual. ”
"Commander, you don't look good, your face is pale," Gabriel handed the helmet to Sen, only to find that Auraya looked like a ghost when she saw her, "I'll be with you, I'm not a coward." It's not what I want to hide behind and help you out often, what I want is the glory of a knight - to go into battle and kill the enemy. ”
"What about Susan, I don't see her," Oraya pressed her hand against the area of her lower back that hurt from fatigue, "if you care about her, you should protect yourself." And you're going to have to help me watch out for Silver, he's been doing too much lately, and I don't know what else he could have done. ”
Gabriel glanced at Sen. Sen smiled: "Before, I was prejudiced against the Legion. For now, I'll always be on Aolaya's side. She proved that she was a trustworthy leader. ”
Gabriel knew what Sen's words meant. It's just that Gabriel didn't suspect Olaya at all, so what about trust and distrust? He just wanted to do what he wanted, and he needed the consent and support of the Legion Commander.
"Sen is my man, you can speak your mind. Auraya shrugged.
"Julia will be staring at Silver, you can rest assured. But there's no news about Irris, you're talking about. The people of the Hunter family are very tight-mouthed," said Gabriel, "and as for Susan, she was with Zoe and practiced her craft every day. She's always avoiding me, her heart isn't here. ”
"Love has to be proactive, just like you did before," Olaya folded her arms, "and you chased her to the flute steppe, and it's really romantic." I mean, you can do more romantic things. ”
"I'm not going to stop. However, I have seen the light of what you say. So, I don't think he alone can give hope to all of us. Here, you are our hope. It's going to get all right together, and you're always a morale boost," Gabriel said with a smile, "so I don't want the covenant to be in the hands of Glori's party." If he can't do it, I'll get the covenant back for you, which is better than being taken by the Hunters. ”
With that, Gabriel saw Job approaching. He and Job glanced at each other, as a gesture of courtesy. As for Job, although he saw Gabriel take a step back, he didn't want to interrupt their conversation and wanted to wait for them to finish.
"You'll see, he's different, he's the right fit. I am not overconfident in my ability to recognize people, and my trust in him comes from his integrity and firmness. If I had to say that I had a good eye, this compliment should be left to the Divine Knight Rizzle Mayne, who made the right choice. So saying, Alaya took Job's letter.
Job recalls the appearance of the messenger and the greetings: "A young lady sent it, and this is a letter from Lord Bard. "For the good-looking young lady, Job is concerned!
"Who?, a young lady?" said Gabriel, who deliberately interrupted.
"Don't worry about ......," Job shrugged, "you have to get on with business." ”
Auraya unwraps the letter. "This letter came at a good time, and Lord Bard told us something very pleasant," Oraya said happily, "that they and Glori saved Skyfly from the Order Lords, and that they are now protecting it. ”
It's a really good thing, and Gabriel is happy about it. At the same time, he was not really happy. So much so that he smiled far-fetchedly.
"Then it's time for us to do something new," said Gabriel, "and I'm not going to let Susan think about him all the time." Obviously, this attack on Idol City cannot be without me. ”
Gabriel's vinegar is obvious. Even though he was a nobleman and Glori was a pauper. He's never experienced what Glori went through, and he didn't show much of it. He wants to win Susan's heart with a big victory, and he wants her to know that there is someone in the world who can do better than Glori, of course, compared to Glori's in Susan's heart.
As a woman, Oraya knew that the most direct way for men in this age to capture the hearts of women was to obtain supreme glory. "I know what you think, but you can't go. And, I'm going to have people stop you. Auraya admonished.
"But this is a great opportunity for me," Gabriel said, "and I can give my life for her, you know that it is love at first sight?"
After a slight pause, Gabriel said affectionately: "This kind of thing that is recognized by God will make you unable to extricate yourself. ”
"I also understand what you're talking about, and I don't tell you that it can sometimes make people lose their minds. Because I'm not trying to stop you from getting glory, let alone stopping you from being with Susan, but for the sake of the bigger picture. Olaya explained.
If you leave aside Susan's affairs, Gabriel also has a reason to insist on going to the front. Baidu
"I can tell you're worried about this attack. However, there are more suitable candidates in our rear than me. No one wants to succeed you, including me, and I'm not Silver. Gabriel said.
Gabriel's adoptive father, Bud, spent most of his life on horseback, honorably defending the lands of Alex's kingdom. Gabriel is hell-bent on inheriting Bud's ambitions, and he follows Bud's ears and eyes, and he will be comfortable among the powerful. Become the head of a meritorious knight order and help save the kingdom, everything should come naturally. However, if he wants to be supported by others, he must have enough glory in exchange for authority, so he intends to seize this opportunity. So it's not just for Susan.
"But...... Commander...... Lil Mayne will certainly show no mercy, and I hope your preparation will work. Job said.
"Haven't you already done what I arranged?" Oraya asked, frowning.
"Everything has to be improvised, that's what you say, and I've always trusted you. At this moment, I am not firm, just like you who have a bad face now. Job reminded. He knew he shouldn't be offended as a herald, but no one wanted to see the worried look on the face of someone he relied on. He also knew that the leader's lack of self-confidence would shake the legion.
Aoraya was relieved by Job's statement. Moreover, she also knew Job's purpose. Oraya can't tolerate this kind of person just to curry favor for the sake of climbing up, but fortunately, Job will take the overall situation into account under this premise, so Oraya naturally has no need to be angry with Job.
Oraya doesn't just do what Job tells you, she praises her. "Job is Job. I'm sorry for that. If anyone talks about this in the Legion, please send them a message that I stayed up late. Auraya straightened up and coughed.
"Surely Job doesn't think so, he's courteous to you, thinking about getting promoted and getting rich. Gabriel quipped.
"Uh...... Childe, you're putting it too bluntly, it's not good. You've won this time because you're our guest. But I do everything myself, just like Aolaya. Job scratched his head, embarrassed.
Gabriel turned to take the helmet, intending to reward Sen. "Look at Job. Because of his words, your commander now looks like he did just the same. I think that's one of the reasons why the Revival Corps has been active. He said to Sen.
Gabriel didn't look like a man who was happy to say nice things at all, Sen could see it. It is clear that what Gabriel said was not sincere. So, Sen took it as a joke. Because, Sen saw Gabriel look away.
It's important to talk about business, it's not good to be stupid here. In order not to embarrass Gabriel, or to get Gabriel's attention away from Sen. Auraya smiled, "Gabriel, you overestimate our herald, but he's more than that. ”
Hearing the wonder, Job saluted Auraya and then Gabriel. Job smiled and said, "I still have to go to Marlin to help our commander see how they are ready." ”
Forgetting Sen's gaze, Gabriel also withdrew his gaze from Jobna, who walked away. "I'm your ally, and you'll have to at least let me know a little bit about it. Gabriel deliberately put on a pitiful look and looked at Olaya.
"Don't look at me like that, and you can't win a prize like that," Oraya laughed, ducking her head over the wooden frame and burrowing into the wooden shed erected by the forest, "You need to know something. It's not us who are charging into battle, nor is it Shennuo. ”
Gabriel wiped the rain that fell on his face and burrowed into the wooden shed. "Who's in charge?" he seemed to have a clue. However, the rain just now was so cold that it directly broke his thoughts.
"It was promised by the Mechanical Guard, the Divine King of God, Toby Grace himself," Oraya said, "and he gave up the treasury of thousands of years. ”
Although it feels like the news is good, Gabriel still has concerns. Now that the matter has been decided, how can you bargain with the commander?
"What about Duke Norton? He's very close to Silver, so be careful that they make trouble while you're away. I don't have enough manpower to keep an eye on the two of them. Gabriel admonished Auraya.
Oh, what are you thinking about?Oraya stared into Gabriel's eyes. "I've already thought of it, and King Shennuo has already saved a hand for us. He will keep the Knights of the Church of Night on standby in the Valley of the Reds. The head of the Order is Kanther, and he is a good brainstorm, as you should know. His team will arrive tomorrow and you can meet him. Aolaya said.
"I'll see him," said Gabriel, "and Job is going to see Marin now, and we'd better go and see it too, and do it ourselves." ”
As Auraya and Gabriel were about to leave, Simon descended from the sky with a carriage.
"Wait, a new letter has arrived," Simon parked the carriage in front of Sen's shop, "Sister Auraya, your letter." ”
"Simon, is it an urgent letter?" said Auraya, who stepped forward to take the letter.
"A private message," Simon jumped out of the carriage, "King Shennuo wants you to read it alone." ”
"A private message from King Shennuo, our commander needs to be prepared before we can date him. From just now, it felt that Oraya had other ideas, and in order not to make Olaya think too much, Gabriel simply joked with Simon. He thought, at least for the time being, that Oraya had forgotten what had been done to him.
Gabriel then laughs and wants to play a joke with Auraya again. However, Olaya is serious.
Auraya opened the envelope and found another one in the letter. She finished a quick scan, then threw the two pages of the letter into the fire. She wanted to say it to Gabriel, but explained to Simon: "We're talking about business, and I'm not in the mood to date a god who has lived for a thousand years." ”
"Goodbye then," Simon said, hopping into the carriage, "the returnee will be happy to serve you, and will fulfill your promise whenever and wherever you want." ”
"We can't go see Marin, you have to come with me to see King Shennuo. Auraya shrugged at Gabriel.
Gabriel looked at Auraya's serious face and asked, "...... What is it that is so mysterious?"
"Come with me, there's a surprise waiting for us. "Olaya is right.
