Chapter 30 Preparations for War
In the Land of Shadows, Lin Moyang put the last piece of charcoal and wiped the sweat from his head, he is now in the open space outside the castle, where a small coal kiln has been erected, and the trunks of plants are constantly being dried.
"Is it enough?what are you doing with so much charcoal?" Lin Moyang didn't even understand now, they were going to attack the insect nest, but they had burned the carbon here for so long.
"We need to be able to look at the plants that emit smoke, this is very simple, there are a lot of green plants around the hive, but it is difficult to raise fire here, so we need a lot of flammable materials, and quickly ignite a lot of smoke in a short period of time, so that we can make the killer bees lose their combat effectiveness at the first time, otherwise when we get close, the hive queen will find out, and we will immediately fall into the encirclement of poisonous bees, and then we will have no way to attack the hive queen. Green broke off a piece of wood and threw it into the blazing fire, carefully watching the leaves and trunks on the shelves above the fire, and when they were almost dry, he and the other warriors lifted them aside with tongs to allow them to cool naturally.
"Don't you have any other good way? I always think how much smoke do we have to produce to envelop such a large hive?"
"Yes, but it's more difficult to implement, I thought at first that the whole forest would be set on fire, in this way, no matter how tough this hive is, steam and heat can vaporize the hive queen into a charred dry corpse, but after my field investigation, I found that the situation over there is very complicated, the nearby trees have been covered with flesh and blood, and it is difficult for me to find something that can be used as fuel, that is, a perfect fire shelter, although I don't know if the hive queen did it on purpose, but this obviously can't make us ignite enough fire to bake this hive, but it will make the hive queen angry and spread the bugs around。 Green said, but he still smiled, not nervous at all: "If only we could get real-world assistance, we could spray pesticides by planes and deal a fatal blow to all the venomous bees here, and then we just need to deal with the nests slowly." ”
Lin Moyang rolled his eyes at this knight, not to mention that his idea was not in line with the knight's code of conduct at all, where to find so many pesticides and planes here, it is better not to say it.
"Will we be able to produce enough smoke then?" said Lin Moyang, since the vegetation here is not enough to produce the heat to dry the worm nests, will the smoke produced be enough to use?
"Yes, we don't need to ignite too much vegetation to produce smoke, in fact, my previous plan was to use Adonis's power to grow enough plants to envelop the entire hive, and then we can ignite this huge mass of plants that envelop the hive, which can achieve the smoldering effect, but unfortunately, Adonis did not unite with us. Green shrugged, so now they had to think of another way, he wasn't the one to hang himself from a tree.
"Is this method reliable? Are you sure the smoke works for these bees?" Lin Moyang was very uncertain in his heart, they didn't have the help of a wise man now, and they could only rely on three stinkers to forcibly top one Zhuge Liang, but after all, they were stinkers, and the plan was put forward to give people no sense of peace of mind. At this time, Lin Moyang really wanted Miss Taylor or Yu Mingkai, no matter how bad it was, let Master Zu get on again, this time he didn't fight on his behalf, it was good to just come up with ideas.
"When I was a kid, I saw my father pick the honeycomb on the wall, and that's how he used it, stun the bees with smoke and then remove the honeycomb with all the weapons, and I think I'm in a similar situation now, it's just that the honeycomb is a little bigger. Green replied, his face was a little red from the flames, and then Lin Moyang realized that Green rarely mentioned his parents, but only mentioned his grandfather, that is, the old knight, Gard Bein, Lin Moyang almost thought that this knight was a person without parents, but now it seems that Green also had the shadow of his parents in his childhood.
"Well, you don't seem to have talked much about your father. Lin Moyang asked casually.
Green's face became a little dark, he turned his head to look at Lin Moyang's eyes, this look made Lin Moyang hairy, he had never seen Green's face full of anger, but this look was only for a moment, he sighed: "Yes, I never mentioned that man, but he is indeed my father." By normal human standards, he is indeed a successful man, young and golden, and personable, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have found a woman like his mother. Green's mouth moved, but he still didn't refuse Lin Moyang's questioning.
He stood up and asked the warriors to prepare the branches, but he stood up and said to Lin Moyang: "Okay, let's talk about this topic in another place, it's too hot here." As he said this, Green rubbed his eyes with his hand, and his sapphire eyes seemed to be red after sitting by the flames for too long.
"Did I ask a question that shouldn't be asked?" Lin Moyang asked worriedly, he had never had confidence in his emotional intelligence, in fact, when he got along with Lilil, if it wasn't for Lilil's repeated tolerance, his kind of straight man treatment, ordinary girls wouldn't be able to stand it at all.
"No, I understand you, Sue Yang is not the kind of person who knows the pain of others, but still knowingly asks, you really don't know, so I don't blame you, I blame myself, I didn't introduce you to my family. Green interrupted Lin Moyang's guilty question with a smile, he squeezed out a warm smile and said: "My father is a person who doesn't want to be a knight, his heart is full of longing for the future and yearning for life, he is a romantic person like a reality, but he is not a knight, he doesn't want to inherit the family's knights, he doesn't even want to be a wizard or a knight, he just wants to study art well, paint, go on a trip, and then meet those young and beautiful women on his travels." ”
"Why does it sound a little like a playboy, and it's the kind of Zhong horse?" Lin Moyang said in his heart, of course he couldn't say it directly, it was too rude for Green.
"Grandpa had high hopes for him, but his son was an irresponsible romantic, and in my father's eyes, the glory of the Knights and the prayers of all the weak in the world were no match for the poetry and distance in his heart, so he did not take Grandpa's advice, he did not learn magic, nor did he learn martial arts, and even he could not ride a horse, and when he saw Pagassos at home, he would call it a ghost. Green talked about his father's past, and Lin Moyang noticed that the expression on the young knight's face had gradually calmed down, but the disappointment and anger in his eyes could not be dissipated for a long time, but it was only hidden deeply.
"Grandpa understood him, grandpa wanted his son to grow up happily, he didn't want the responsibilities of the family to become a shackle and bind my father, so when my father chose to become an ordinary person, he agreed, originally grandpa would hand over his responsibilities when his father turned 25 years old, and hand over the entire knights to his father's hands, but my father refused, and my grandfather could only shoulder the burden of the knights again at the age of 60, until I was born. Green said, he smiled miserably, "I was influenced by my father, I didn't want to be a knight, for a knight, I would rather be a lone vigilante like Batman, so I also rejected my grandfather's suggestion, and my father also respected my choice, we both thought that we had made a free choice, but I threw the burden of a knight to an old man who was about to be eighty years old." Grandpa was one of the first members of the Round Table, and he served the Round Table for countless years, but he was old, and he had been chivalrous in the past few decades, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, and setting up too many enemies for him, and the reason why the Knights stood tall was because when the Knights were in decline, new captains and new leaders would rise and lead the Knights into a new era. But my father and I didn't understand this, we just wanted to pursue a free life, to live like an ordinary person, without realizing that every member of the Bein family was born with responsibility. My surname is Bein, and this surname represents the respect of the wizards, so our responsibilities are equally great, but my father and I actually think that we can avoid these responsibilities, and think that we have indeed avoided these responsibilities, but in fact, no, these responsibilities that should have been borne by us have fallen on the shoulders of my grandfather. Seeing the two of us like this, Grandpa also thought that after he retired and grew old and could no longer get on the horse, he would hand over the Knights to his knights, so that the bond between the Knights and the Bein family could be severed. The old knight was such a man that he was not willing to force anyone, not even his own sons and grandsons. ”
Green's voice choked up, and Lin Moyang understood that the anger in this knight's eyes was not only against his father, but also against himself. The thing that this knight may regret the most in his life is that he did not take over the burden from his grandfather earlier, so that such an old man is still fighting on the front line of the confrontation with the darkness.
"When I came to my senses, I was the only one left in the entire Bein family, and when the grandfathers of the Knights found and protected me, I saw the cold corpses of my father and mother, who had died under a vicious spell that could cause creatures to die, and my father, the fighter for freedom, knew nothing at all, he knew that the wizarding world existed, but he didn't tell his mother, and he didn't care about the undercurrents of the wizarding world, he just handed over these things to people like the Round Table Councillors, and lived as if he were an ordinary personSo when the wizards found him and his mother on vacation on the yacht, the romantic man couldn't even protect his wife, so he was killed, and his body fell on the yacht, and the cause of death was a sudden heart failure. It was a long-planned attack, my grandfather was plotted and besieged, he was so old that he finally died on the battlefield, the coat of arms in the Golden Hall faded, but we didn't even get his body back. Green grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground with his hand, "At that time, I understood that there is no escaping responsibility, and if you want to escape your own responsibility, you just let others take it for you." ”
"So, you received the training of knights, and then took on the duties of the knights?" Lin Moyang asked, what happened later Green had already said, and Lin Moyang was a little curious at that time, why did Green's father not take on this heavy responsibility, but let him, a young man, take on such a heavy burden. 258
"Yes, not only that, I even approached the Round Table and asked them to help me punish the murderers of my grandfather, but the Round Table did not directly help me. Green suddenly smiled at this time, and his eyes became more friendly when he looked at Lin Moyang.
"Are they so impersonal?" asked Lin Moyang, whose image of the Round Table Council was by no means such a cold-blooded and ruthless organization.
"No, of course not, they just can't help on the surface, secretly, His Excellency Pilgrim Galahad provided me with shelter and funds, he took over my family's property at the first time, did not let my family business decline, and contacted the school at the first time so that I could receive the relevant education. Green recalled, a smile on his face, "Your Excellency Ibn Haiyan has recast the Persuader for me, so that I, who knew nothing at the time, can use the Persuader, and His Excellency Karro has protected me so that I can complete my studies in relative freedom." Professor Merlin provided me with a scholarship and the highest quality teaching at the school, allowing me to complete the wizarding course in a short period of time. ”
"Hmm...... It seems that everyone cares about you. Lin Moyang's tone was a little envious, although Green's experience was unfortunate, but this feeling of being surrounded by everyone was really good.
"Yes, even His Excellency Fenglong, who later joined the Round Table, quietly avenged me with his privileges. Only then did Green say what Lin Moyang had been wondering about, that is, what did Fenglong do.
"It's really the style of a big brother......" Lin Moyang smiled bitterly, he actually didn't have much contact with Fenglong, but Fenglong did care about him very much, not only often sent him equipment, but also saved the scene when necessary, but Fenglong died so casually that he didn't even feel sad.
"Yes, I have never had the opportunity to repay the help of His Excellency Fenglong, it should be said that I have not been able to repay the help of all the members of the Round Table, on the contrary, the Ministry of Magic has always not opened an investigation into my grandfather's death on the grounds that the evidence is unclear, and that's it, they even asked me to pay them a high inheritance tax when I inherited the family property, because my grandfather did not make a will in advance. Green complained helplessly about what the Ministry of Magic had done, it turned out that the Ministry of Magic had wanted to rely on Aureliel to put pressure on Green, but he didn't know that Green had already leaned towards the Council of the Round Table, which was all their own sin, and no one else was to blame.
"They're a bunch of capitalist wizards. Lin Moyang said with a smile.
"What is a wizard of capitalism?" Greene was puzzled by the novelty of the term, a wizard who never used modern terms to describe himself.
"It's just that the thunder is loud and the rain is small, the passing is too much, and the practical work is less, let him pay for the meeting, and if he has money, he will come uninvited, to put it bluntly, it is the supremacy of interests and intrigue. Lin Moyang said that this is the true portrayal of the capitalist landlords at the beginning, and there is no big problem with this group of waste from the Ministry of Magic.
"Hahaha, clever tongue and witty words, worthy of you, what you said is really appropriate. When Green heard this, he gave Lin Moyang a thumbs up and said embarrassedly in Chinese.
"Your Chinese is pretty ...... Clever tongue ...... Our two heroes cherish the hero......" Lin Moyang listened to Green's murderous Chinese, and felt that his ears were about to bleed, especially when this guy still had to say idioms!
Green laughed, Lin Moyang also laughed, at this time Liliel and Ushaha walked out of the gate of the castle with a large wine barrel, Lin Moyang looked at the expressions of the two, and knew that most of the efforts were made by Ushaha, and Liliel just put her hand on the barrel to make a show.
"Sueyang Moyang!" Liliel saw that Lin Moyang and Green were not working, and immediately let go of the wine barrel, and Ushaha still held the big wine barrel with a relaxed face, and put it on the ground, and then shouted to the warriors in the coal kiln: "Don't be too hot, Mother said, let everyone drink good wine!"
After Ushaha said this, the warriors immediately gathered with a happy look on their faces, they were all first-class warriors, let them dry the wood, although they would not complain, but they wanted to drink in the mood early in the morning, especially the fire was very hot, they had already wanted to drink something to moisten their throats, the barrel was immediately hit with the faucet, the wine flowed out, in the castle behind them, more warriors carrying the wine came out, everyone's face was red, it should have just held a banquet, came to change shifts, otherwise they all went to drink, who will dry the wood?
"Moyang~come~" Liliel was holding a small kettle in her hand, which should have been taken from the RV, Lin Moyang had seen it in the kitchen.
Liliel put the kettle to Lin Moyang's lips, and Lin Moyang sniffed it, and there was sweet mead inside.
He was indeed a little thirsty, so he took a big sip of the jug and tossed it to Green. Green reached out to catch it and took a big sip, his face returning to his usual gentle expression.
"Hopefully we can do well. Lin Moyang said.
"I hope so, if there is another accident, I won't make plans for everyone in the future. Green said with some embarrassment.
