Chapter 279: To Each His Own
When everything was facing the end, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, an event that was enough to trigger a shock to the mainland, and it simply disappeared into invisibility, which was the ending that everyone was happy to see. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although all the parties who have been appeased in the handling of tonight's incident have gained and lost in this matter, the biggest ups and downs are Channing Tatum, who is the lord of the city, and Serol Jackson, the commander of the garrison.
First of all, in this battle, nearly one-third of the elite soldiers of the garrison regiment were lost, although they had been cured, but it took a long time to recover their strength, and then this northwest city that was completely destroyed as a battlefield, how to explain and rebuild this matter is also a difficult problem, just how to appease the innocent civilians who were affected, it is a headache for the two, not to mention the aftermath of this incident, the matter of repairing houses for these innocent civilians.
In terms of the cost of gold coins alone, this is a lot of money, not to mention that there are more refugees from Berkeley City and its surrounding areas who have poured into the city, and the gold coins required to cost the three together are a painful number, although there are some financial allocations in the vault of the City Lord's Mansion, but the thought of a large amount of gold coins slipping out of his hands makes the heart of the City Lord of Tatum feel sore.
With a long sigh of helplessness, the city lord of Tatum comforted himself in his heart, fortunately, he also got the news that the Don Quixote family was about to leave Lusa City as compensation, this shocking news to the mainland was enough to offset the loss tonight, otherwise the biggest victims tonight were them.
After seeing that the old man had dealt with the affairs here one after another, and seeing that the latter had already had the intention of leaving, the Tatum City Lord hardened his head, took a step forward, and opened his mouth to plead.
"Mistress Don Quixote, can you easily get all the ice off your head? After all, if all the ice falls to the ground and the house is repaired, I'm afraid... ”
Seeing that Tatum, who was the lord of a city, put on this embarrassed look, he looked at the old man under the night sky in the distance, nodded and agreed.
"Okay, little fat man, I'm doing you a favor!"
Hearing the title 'Little Fat Man' from the old man's mouth again, a trace of shyness flashed on Tatum City Lord's face, obviously this title made him a little difficult to accept.
As the lord of a city, he naturally has to put on a majestic appearance at all times, and he is called a little fat man three times and twice, which is obviously undignified, but when he thinks of the other party's identity as a legendary-level powerhouse, and his age is older than his grandfather, he is also relieved.
Similarly, the old man's words also clearly reached the ears of other people, and after hearing the old man's intention to strike again, they all looked straight, opened their eyes wide, and stared at the former nervously, for fear of missing any of the old man's actions, after all, they were able to witness the legendary Ice Emperor casting spells at such a close distance, and such a thing was enough for them to show off for a lifetime.
Excitement, excitement, anticipation, and so on are self-evident!
But as time passed, the long-awaited sight did not materialize, but was very disappointing!
Because this legendary powerhouse neither took out the staff of fame, nor chanted a spell, nor did he have any hot scenes, he just stretched out a hand, opened his five fingers, pointed to the night sky, and grabbed the void, and the ice cubes that were frozen on the night curtain seemed to be grasped by an invisible big hand, and quickly gathered together, forming a huge iceberg in the night sky.
The whole process did not make a sound, just with the wave of the old man's hand, this move was completed, these ice cubes that made the powerful Chikobare bird helplessly choose to avoid its edge, but in the hands of the old man as harmless as a toy, a simple action gathered these large number of ice cubes into an iceberg.
Looking up at the huge iceberg hanging overhead, everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the fear in their hearts could not be described in any words, but everyone believed that as long as this huge iceberg fell to the ground, the entire city of Conyounis would be destroyed by it.
Fortunately, the scene that everyone feared did not happen, when the countless ice cubes were gathered together, the old man's open five fingers slowly gathered, making a void clenching posture, and with his movement, the huge iceberg hanging in the night sky gradually shrank at the speed of the naked eye.
As if clenched by an invisible hand, the huge iceberg shrank to a single person-high block of ice in just a few breaths, hanging in the night sky like a cold star.
Seeing this incredible scene, everyone couldn't help but open their eyes wide, their mouths were wide open, no one dared to believe that everything they saw was true, a huge iceberg, just pinched to the size of only one person, such a scene, no one would believe it.
Boom!
The earth shook suddenly! If anyone could look at the city of Conyounis from afar, they would be surprised to find that it seemed that at a moment, the whole city shook a little!
Barely standing firmly, everyone woke up from the scene they had just seen, and at this moment their eyes widened in horror, staring at this piece of ice that had replaced the old man's existence, no one dared to believe that it was this piece of ice that was only one person high, smashed on the ground, and it could make such a dull loud noise, which could make the earth tremble, but the facts were there, and they couldn't help but believe it.
looked at the people around them, no one knew why the old man did this, or rather, they all knew what the old man meant, but no one dared to say it.
But without the presence of the old man, the solemn atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
The Tatum City Lord and the Serol Legion breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and they didn't have to talk about it anymore, it felt so good!
The city lord of Tatum looked at the ice witch Tariskcove and the others who were being carried on their backs before they could leave, and made a knife slashing gesture in his hand.
"Seliol, do you want to take advantage of this opportunity to take them...?! This is a good opportunity for you to make meritorious contributions!"
But the commander of the Serol regiment refused to be fooled, he glared at the former angrily, and refused.
"No kidding, Tatum! isn't that clear enough about this adult!"
Without any intention of being poked and shy, the city lord of Tatum just laughed a few times, and his fat palm patted the former's shoulder hard.
"Haha! I'm just saying it casually!"
Although he subconsciously wanted to dodge, for some reason, Captain Serol didn't choose to dodge in the end.
With a snap, Tatum City Lord's big hand fell on the shoulder of the Commander of Serol, staring at each other expressionlessly, suddenly, the two laughed at the same time, and an inexplicable feeling quickly filled his heart.
After a simple look at each other and a smile, the city lord of Tatum suddenly spoke.
"What are you going to do with that goblin?"
As soon as the old man walked on his front foot, he could not wait to make this request, he knew that he alone would not be enough to snatch the hide from the goblin Santoro, and that he would have to pull in the commander of Serol, who was in charge of the army.
"Is there a way to deal with that Shikobarre bird?"
"Nope!"
"That's tricky!"
For a moment, both of them were silent.
If you want to get that hide from the goblin Santoro, it is impossible to bypass the people of Sophia's mercenaries, and without the presence of Charles Mandela, the Hikobal Thunderbird, this matter could not be simpler, but with him, things are completely different, and strength is the capital of speaking.
The silence only lasted for a short time, and the Tatum City Lord rarely looked at the other party solemnly, and spoke again.
"Although I'm late, I know about tonight, at least three parties are in the war, don't you want to say something?"
"I, do you think those people are my people?" Suddenly hearing Tatum City Lord's question, the Commander of the Serol Legion was stunned for a moment.
"Isn't it?" Unexpectedly seeing the surprise on the other party's face, Tatum City Lord's mind moved, and then he realized that this third party person did not belong to anyone he knew.
"Of course not!" Seeing the ugly expression on Tatum City Lord's face, Captain Serol's mood suddenly became indescribably comfortable.
Because the two had made an agreement in order not to have a power dispute, the other party could support a certain force within the scope of tolerance of both sides, but only within the scope of both sides' knowledge, and the army and city governance were strictly separated, and it was strictly forbidden to interfere with each other.
But it is clear that the third-party combatants who appeared in this incident tonight have exceeded the expectations of both sides, that is, in this city, there are forces that two people do not know about, and this situation is not allowed to exist.
"Hehe, it looks like I need to clean up this city, it's time for them to re-recognize who is the master here!" As if guessing what the former thought, Tatum City Lord's face turned dark, as if he was talking to himself.
"That's your business, I won't interfere! If you don't have a good opinion, I'm leaving, there's one more thing to do tonight!" Turning his gaze over Bron and the others, Captain Serol spoke.
"Hmm, let's go! You'd better go slowly, or you'll disturb the adult's interest, but no one can save you!" Glancing at the former, Tatum City Lord suggested with a grim expression.
"I still need you to remind me, of course I know what to do!" Without looking back, the commander of the Serol Legion gently whipped the horse that sat down, and a helpless complaint came. "What an eventful night!"
Listening to the complaints of his old opponent, the Tatum City Lord also shook his head helplessly, smiled silently, and his eyes stayed on the ice trapped in the ground for a while, and then he took a step and walked towards Bronn and the others who were celebrating the rest of the catastrophe, thinking about how to get the animal skin in his hands.
