vs 31 Penny Reagan
Nepdo Quint is sharp-tongued, and Penny Reagan who speaks out of his mouth is like a ruler in a bad time.
The terrible battle of last night, combined with the fact that the herald may not have been very good just now, made Nepdo Quint feel very bad, and the old man wanted to curse indiscriminately when he was in a bad mood, and he never looked at who they were scolding.
But at this time of day, no one will be in a good mood.
Penny Reagan's already irritable mood was made worse by Neptor Quint's rude words, but she didn't show it, and said with a kind expression in her heart
"I'm very sorry, General. She now calls Nepdo a general, not a councillor.
"My first encounter with war, and if I have done so in a way that makes you feel unpleasant, I can only ask your forgiveness. ”
Penny Reagan, despite putting herself in a low position and saying apologetics, also has some ineffable meanings in these apologies... As if, her last words were a reminder to Nepdo Quint that you can only choose to forgive me!
The old general naturally heard the meaning of the other party's words, he frowned and quickly approached the reception sofa, took off his dirty gloves and threw them on the coffee table, leaned back on the sofa like a master, and said, "Andrew, that bastard ruined our sacred theater, and now he will continue to destroy the entire city... At this time, the city council should be thinking about how to quickly destroy this group of monsters, rather than using the turmoil to eliminate their respective political enemies. ”
Nepdo-Quint alluded to the assassination of the city council last night, "If our intelligence could have been shared, maybe something like this wouldn't have happened!"
He leaned forward slightly, and slapped the coffee table with his palm, "From last night to now, the garrison has paid the life of a soldier of the regiment, and of course, the people in the Grand Theater and the surrounding streets at that time, any selfish behavior in the war will pay a heavy price, isn't it enough to learn countless bloody lessons in history?"
Nepdo Quint's endless duties tugged at a string in Penny Reagan's heart, a fragile nerve she had avoided touching since last night's 'Grand Theater Time'.
Every ruler faces such a problem in his reign.
Anyone can make mistakes, even Archduke Patved, known as the 'Sage', who made countless mistakes in his campaigns, and now he can prove that some of the institutions he has set for the empire are also wrong.
This time, Penny Reagan did know about some of Andrew's small actions because of the 'Brotherhood', but after she learned about it, her first thought was not to eradicate this scourge, but to use the other party's small actions to provoke a struggle within the congressman as much as possible to benefit from it.
As a female ruler who grew up at tea parties, Penny Reagan was familiar with all the court struggles and political wrestling, but she did not have the responsibilities and responsibilities that she should have in the face of national affairs, because she had long been accustomed to making everything profitable and striving for the best for herself.
After Andrew escaped and did these things at the Grand Theater, Penny Reagan immediately closed off any thoughts in her mind about it.
Everyone also avoided the topic in front of Penny Reagan, and Neptor Quint actually brought up the topic directly in the first thing she saw Penny Reagan after the incident.
Penny Reagan has the heart to lower her profile, but Nepdo Quint has to move in!
Nepdo Quint's performance reminded Penny Reagan of a sentence in a political game where you can show weakness to your opponents, but you can't really make others think you're weak and bullied!
"Do you want me to explain it to you?" Penny Reagan took a deep breath, "or... You think you can stay out of it?" she pointed to the tip of Nepdo-Quint's nose and whispered in a slightly shrill voice
"If it weren't for your pressing, I would be so unscrupulous? Don't think too much of yourself, you seem to me to be more disgusting than Woz Pedro!"
Neptor Quint stood up abruptly, pointed at Penny Reagan and whispered, "You..."
"Don't stand on the moral high ground to hold me accountable, no one in the council is qualified to point at me, especially you!" Penny Reagan stood up, and Todd Theo's vanishing figure appeared beside her at this time, the indifference in her tone made people shudder, "You always flaunt your nobility, but when the empire is in danger, you only know how to hide behind, if I don't stand up, you may continue to hide behind and package yourself as the embodiment of justice, attacking and satirizing the filthy deeds in your eyes!"
"Woz Pedro may be like you, but he doesn't hesitate to reveal his ambitions and work hard for his goals by any means... And you're different, you covet the position of consul every day, but you have to act like you don't care!" Penny Reagan pointed to the door of the parlor, "You don't want to talk to you now, you go back and command your battle, I want to see how you can fight this battle without us moths in your eyes!"
Nepdo Quint trembled with rage, his teeth clenched and a face of irrepressible rage. He clearly wanted to say something, but he couldn't, for he found that any explanation in language pale in the face of the other man's words.
"Pedaling"
The old general, with a cold countenance, retreated to the door at great speed.
"Bang!" The moment the door was kicked open, Neptor-Quint disappeared from Penny's vision.
Looking at the leaving, Neptor-Quint, Penny Reagan did not have the slightest joy of victory, and "pounced" at the moment when the door closed, she sat weakly on the sofa, her eyes full of endless grievances and helplessness.
She wanted to cry,
But she didn't cry.
At the end of the day, Penny Reagan was less than twenty years old, and in her old life, she was always used to relying on... Before she got married, she could rely on her father and brother, and after she got married, she could hide in the back garden and ignore the irritating affairs of the Empire.
But now, all her reliance is gone.
Extremely lacking in security, of course, she seized every opportunity to enhance her strength!
"Your words are going to make this old fellow angry. Todd Theo said with a teasing tone, "I don't think he's as bad as you say, at least compared to the others, Nepdo Quint is more upright." ”
"Everyone... I mean, everybody, they don't think I'm worthy to sit in the Speaker's seat, and I can tolerate anyone secretly slandering me, but I can't tolerate them questioning my rule in front of me!" Penny Reagan's calm at the moment was tinged with a palpitating feeling, and her cold voice echoed through the hall
"Besides, the so-called 'integrity' in Nepdo Quint is, in my opinion, selfish... It's also selfish to honor honor, because these guys can give up everything for their so-called honor, even the empire to which they are allegiant!"
"The final end of the empire is the best proof of this... When their own honor and the existence of the empire are put together, they actually choose their own honor, and their hypocrisy makes me sick when I think about it. ”
Penny Reagan stared at Todd Theo with an incredulous expression, "When Suker City was in crisis, everyone hid behind and pushed me out, but after the crisis was over, they wanted to snatch my rights from me... Is such a person righteous in your eyes?"
"But at least... At such times, those who advocate honor are the most worthy of faith. Todd Theo shrugged, "You're sarcastic about them, and you're just trying to cover up your previous mistakes." ”
"I admit my mistakes, but only in my heart. Penny Reagan didn't get angry anymore at this time, she took a deep breath, "I'm not going to admit it to anyone anywhere in any form." She couldn't help but think of her family at this moment, thinking of her brother who was thousands of miles away, and whispered, "My rule is fragile, I must maintain a perfect image, and for this I even cut off ties with my family." ”
"Maybe... You should find a husband for yourself. ”
"I won't let marriage stumble me anymore, I already have spiritual sustenance. When Penny Reagan spoke, a cute child's face subconsciously appeared in her mind.
"But..."
"When did you get as verbose as those congressmen?" Penny Reagan got up from her seat, "Neptor Quint can't be relied on right now, we need to meet our other allies... Where's that elven commander?"
"She's on the front line now, do you want to go to the front?"
"I don't want to be a burden to the soldiers, I'll wait for her at her headquarters. ”
...
On the edge of the ruins of the Grand Theater, simple magic towers rose from the ground within two hours, and the rich elemental energy quickly filled the surroundings of the ruins, resisting the constant aura of death emanating from the ruins.
Brian led twenty elite rangers and two squadrons of Fort Norma soldiers in a makeshift defense area on the outermost part, staring at the undead soldiers who were close in front of him, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
Unlike the low-level skeleton soldiers just now, what appeared in front of Brian now was the regular combat unit of the Legion of the Undead... Ghouls, a class that can devour flesh and heal its own injuries and possess flesh and blood.
There were a lot of ghouls on the ruins, and there were 3,000 of them just by sight, all wearing the weapons and equipment of the previous Suker City garrison.
What's worse is that the presence of infected people in the middle of the ghoul army means that if the war is lost, the other side can infect the dead human soldiers into undead warriors in a very short time without the need for altars.
"Captain, with the power in our hands, we can suppress the evil energy inside. A male elven magician's fair skin was covered with dust, without the grace of the elves, and his tone was not as arrogant as the elves used to be, "If you want to completely isolate or seal the evil power inside, you must ask for help from the Naren Forest." ”
"If the intelligence is correct, our enemy is only one necromancer, and now we have gathered at least a hundred high-level mages of magical humans!" Brian said with an incredulous expression on her face.
"The other side is more prepared... If we were given a month to build a better magic tower around..."
Brian immediately shook her head and interrupted the mage, "You can't have a month, three days at most!"
The male elf mage shook his head more violently than Brian, "One month is already the limit, and under normal circumstances, it will take three months at the earliest, because complex magic inscriptions need to be drawn by the mage, which cannot be replaced by any material." ”
Brian was so choked by this sentence that she couldn't find words for a while, and a female elf mage next to her couldn't help but complain, "An evil necromancer is performing a new evil sacrifice for months under our noses, and he didn't even notice it beforehand. She looked at Brian, "As I said earlier, you can't hope for humanity on themselves, they will only fight among themselves. ”
The male elf mage frowned slightly when he heard this, and then subconsciously retorted, "This can't be blamed on humans, after all, we didn't tell them the news of the arrival of the undead army before... Also, our station is just across the street from here, and it's not like we're not unaware of the fluctuations of evil energy. "This shows that our enemies have the means to shield our surveillance... At the same time, our mage also miscalculated the scale of the sacrifice after it had taken place. ”
"It was because we were too careless before. Brian glanced at the female elf who was still trying to speak, "Because the main force of the undead legion has already appeared in the Cullen Territory, it makes me subjectively think that the sacrifices in Suke City are not a big deal at all. ”
"Captain..."
"Roar!" a low roar that seemed to pierce the eardrums interrupted Brianne's conversation with the mage.
"This is the Iron Guard!"
Among the elven elven rangers on alert at the front, an old elf subconsciously exclaimed, with solemnity in his eyes.
"Now that there are infected people, the attached Iron Guard will naturally appear as well. The experienced ranger next to him immediately responded.
It is recorded in the information known to the elves
Creating an infected requires the fusion of at least five flesh and blood bodies that hold memories, and the interaction of the five different minds has a chance to give birth to a mad soul memory, which necromancers like to carve into their steel bodies, creating a kind of golem born to kill.
The elves call these puppets the 'Iron Guard'.
"All means of playing with life and soul should be removed!" Brianne grimaced, her faith in nature made her feel very clearly how evil the memories of the crazy tortured soul in the Iron Guard were.
In her turquoise eyes was the figure of the Iron Guard at the moment...
It was a body made of real steel, rusted with strange inscriptions glowing blue.
