Chapter 38: Wanted

It wasn't long before Leonard and his team, with the help of the Lars Empire guerrillas, crossed the Phineas River and reached another town. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 InfoBran was carried by the militia into a house in the town and laid down on a clean and comfortable bed. The Great Swordsman, Tina, and Hanks stood next to the bed.

Tina held the royal ceremonial staff, gently pressed the tip of the staff against Bran's injured leg, and chanted a incantation: "Spirit of the Sacred Tree, Body of All Things." Please heal the wounds caused by this external force..."-Healing Technique!I saw the broken right calf of the longbowman's limb emit a green light. Click... The already broken bones quickly joined together and healed on their own.

After the treatment, Tina put away her staff and warned the patient Bran, "Bran, you should be fine if you lie in bed for a few days." "Magical energy can be used in many aspects of medicine, such as expelling toxins, suppressing plague outbreaks, treating internal and external injuries, avoiding difficult births, contraception, and so on.

Bran politely thanked Tina: "Thank you very much. ”

Tina replied with a calm face: "No thanks. We are teammates who work together. It's supposed to help each other. Then she left the bedroom. The nobles of the Duchy of Bagram and the princess of the Lars Empire, who were originally hostile to each other, have resolved their previous suspicions in order to achieve a common goal, and have decided to fight together.

Hanks, who was about to step out of the door behind Tina, heard this, but turned back disapprovingly, and whispered a stern warning to Bran: "We are just your teammates now." Don't use any crooked brains, let alone any delusions. ”

Tina's voice came through the door: "Hanks." Are you saying something you shouldn't be saying again?"

Leonard, who was standing on the edge of Bran's couch, had a flirtatious smile on his face, and instead of Hanks, he was the first to speak loudly and replied: "No, he admits that we are his teammates, so he has bad intentions, delusions, extreme crooked brains, and bad intentions all day long." We are all so honored. ”

When Tina heard this, she was obviously angry again: "Hanks!

When Hanks went out, he was still the same, turned around, and snorted out of his nose as usual, extremely unconvinced and indignant: "Hmph!-"

After Hanks left, Bran shook his head and asked himself with a pessimistic expression and a slightly helpless tone: "I really don't know how long our team can last as a team?"

Seeing this, Leonard spread his hands out, took Bran's words, and narrated calmly: "Why do you care so much? Our only goal now is to defeat the old monster of the Republic of Vosfitta." All I care about is now. What I'm doing now is also my greatest pleasure. Even if I will be an enemy of God and turn against all my teammates in the future, what is it? Because I have done my best to change!-"

When Bran heard this, he pressed his right hand on his forehead, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, and sighed: "You are really optimistic." ”

Leonard continued to maintain a smiling expression and asked rhetorically: "If you are not optimistic, how can you survive in this world?"

A few days later, Bran's leg wound healed, and the group left the house and went to the town's street square to prepare for their journey. I saw Hanks driving a carriage to the center of the town street in front of Tina, stopping and shouting, "Your Royal Highness, the carriage is ready." ”

Tina shouted back in a calm tone, "From now on, please don't call me Her Royal Highness the Princess again." And we have decided to hike to Bagram. The carriage ride is too ostentatious. "Due to the scarcity of horses that can pull carts on the continent of Farushion, commoners almost never ride on horse-drawn carts, and only nobles and wealthy merchants can afford to sit on them.

Hanks had his own well-conceived plan, and he was not willing to easily follow the arrangements of others, so he advised Tina: "Your Highness, how can this be done? I have already made contact with the nobles of the port of Shevis in the southeast of Mandoria. We'll get there as quickly as possible by horse-drawn carriage. Once you arrive at the port of Shevis Harbor, Your Highness can go incognito and sail to other countries to take refuge for a while, so why do you have to stay with these mercenaries and take risks?"

Seeing this, Bran, who was standing next to Tina, turned up his lips helplessly, smiled bitterly, and thought, "I didn't expect the separation to come so quickly." ”

When Tina heard this, her determination was not shaken by Hanks's words in the slightest, and she retorted loudly: "Hanks. Have you forgotten? You promised me to help me make my country one of the most prosperous nations on the continent of Farusion. And Leonard's strength, you are not unclear. Only by uniting and working together can we have greater strength to fight against the Republic of Vosfitta. ”

Hanks argued a completely different point of view from his own point of view: "But when Your Highness goes to Port Shevis and first enlists the support of the nobles, it is the most beneficial choice for the revival of our country!

Tina was really stopped by Hanks this time, and couldn't find a suitable reason to refute for a while: "This..."

Seeing this, Crotty, who was also standing in the square in the middle of the street, couldn't help but take a step forward and help Tina: "In any case, we all have the same current goals. Moreover, no matter what our motives may be, it is impossible to harm a country on the verge of extinction and its princesses.

Otherwise, we had already done this in Mandoria, how could we have come to this place with Tina? Besides, I reckon the coalition forces have already captured Mandolia. It won't be long before the news about us is in the press. Now you go further east to find death. ”

Whatever comes to it, what will follow. I saw that a militiaman in charge of delivering the news hurriedly ran to the carriage driven by Hanks, announced loudly, and presented a newspaper with both hands: "Report - report to the chief." News from the east. Allied forces have captured Mandolia and Port Shevis. The nobles on the other side of the port were all imprisoned by the coalition forces as suspects in the murder of Marquis Alonso in the Republic of Vosfitta. This newspaper in my hand is the Farusion Directory of the Republic of Vosfitta, please take a look. ”

Hanks stretched out his hand to take the newspaper, and his full expectation was suddenly completely disappointed, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and denounce: "What!?

I saw that the official directory of Farusion was impressively recorded: The Republic of Vosfitta, the incomparably revered Marquis Alonso, who had made great achievements in his life, and who had already taken the lead of the war, the emperor of the Lars Empire, Frank, was punished on the spot, but unfortunately encountered a mutiny and rebellion, and died heroically in a foreign land in order to maintain the peace and tranquility of the world and defend the interests and glory of the motherland.

His deeds are so heroic, his character is noble, his achievements are great, his life is magnificent, and his destination is so embarrassing and heartbreaking. His Majesty the Elven King Cleos hereby posthumously proclaims the Marquis of Alonso as the Marquis of Martial Arts and bestows him with the courtesy of a state funeral. The lands and property under the name of the Marquis of Feng Wu were rewarded and divided among his wives and concubines and children.

As for those hateful and contemptible rebels, they are destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever, and they are unanimously angrily denounced and severely condemned by all peace-loving people in the whole of Farusion. Therefore, this newspaper hereby advises them: There is no end to the sea of suffering, turn back to the shore, turn yourself in quickly, and do not make mistakes again and again.

However, His Majesty Cleos will not easily forgive their crimes, and hereby promulgates the highest wanted warrant on the continent of Farusion, offering a reward of one million gold coins, announcing that all the warriors in the world are arrested, whether they are dead or alive:

Main offender - Leonard, former head of the Second Swordsman Regiment of the Republic of Vosfitta;

Accomplice - Elder Son of Andy, former President of the Mercenary Association of the Principality of Bagram, former Deputy Head of the Second Swordsman Regiment of the Republic of Vosfita;

Accomplice - Tina, the eldest daughter of the Franks, former Emperor of the Lars Empire;

Accomplice - an orc of unknown origin;

Unidentified accomplice - an unknown person (perhaps just a passerby who has been wrongly witnessed);

A cadre and others were quickly brought to justice. Here, Farucion's address book is equipped with detailed avatar illustrations of Leonard, Bran, and Tina.

This is because the main culprit, Leonard, as the mastermind, instigated and used others to initiate and use others to initiate a rebellion for his own selfish and intriguing purposes. Therefore, when this person was arrested, he did not need to care about his life or death, and he should be summarily executed. The other accomplices were deceived by Leonard's trickery and made a big mistake.

Therefore, His Majesty Cleos hereby makes a promise that if an accomplice surrenders himself, he will be exempted from the death penalty and given a lenient sentence. His Excellency Lord White of the Republic of Vosfitta was devastated when he learned that his brother had been killed, and hereby offered an additional three million gold coins, for a total of four million bounty, for the arrest of the suspect.

This newspaper also learned through special channels that there is an indecent love affair between Leonard, the head of the Second Swordsman Regiment, Bran, the deputy head of the Regiment, and Tina, the princess of the Lars Empire. Bran and Tina are both mercenaries of the Principality of Bagram's Mercenary Association, and the two have worked together for so long that they have a relationship.

After the main culprit Leonard met Tina, he has always coveted the beauty of the princess of the Lars Empire. Therefore, he coerced and lured his subordinate Bran to take risks, and cooperated with him to launch a mutiny, and murdered His Excellency Feng Wuhou in order to plunder money and women.

Tina, the princess of the Lars Empire, was taken hostage before she joined them. For the above news obtained through special channels, this newspaper does not assume any form of responsibility and consequences. The Farucion News Agency is a newspaper under the umbrella of the Holy Swordsmen, the direct intelligence agency of the Elven King Creta. The wanted article was written and drafted by Tux himself. Of course, Tuckers did not sign it by his real name.

In addition to the above article, most of the Farosion address books are long reports on Alonso's infinitely glorious life and deeds during his lifetime. insisted on blowing the **** cat urine into a jade liquid, and turned the filthy scum into a virtuous saint. There are also some things about boasting about how valiantly Marshal Memphis led his troops, and Ragus being questioned for suggesting that Leonard go to war.

Leonard, who was very interested in all kinds of news, couldn't resist the temptation and came forward; just after glancing at the newspaper twice, he understood what it meant to be under the guidance of public opinion, and he couldn't bear it anymore and scolded angrily: "What kind of !?bullshit is written in the tower!

Hanks felt that some of the contents of the newspaper made sense, and asked Leonard, "Can you guarantee that you have never coveted the beauty of Her Royal Highness?"

Hearing this, Leonard suddenly raised his head, glared at Hanks's face viciously and roared: "What are you talking about!!?-" In the subconscious of the great swordsman, he had unconsciously regarded Tina as a very important person to him, and his reflexive emotions were almost out of control when he heard these words.

Seeing this, Tina hurriedly stepped forward with Bran, Howl, and Crotty, eager to get a glimpse of what was going on, and advised, "Don't make any noise. Let's see what's written on it. ”

Looking at Faroucion's address book, Tina's face couldn't help but turn red, and she said to herself in embarrassment: "This..."

Bran, who had almost no thoughts about Tina, followed up with a comment: "It's really a lie. How could there be such a ridiculous so-called love affair. ”

After reading through the newspaper, he was puzzled by one of the sensitive words: "I can understand the relationship." But what does it mean?"

When Crotty heard this, he stood aside and carefully worded and explained: "Indecent means very bad, disgusting and despicable. In this article, it plays the role of slander. ”

has been waiting by the side, and the militia who delivered the news couldn't help but interject and ask: "Your Royal Highness Princess, is there really an inside story about the relationship written in the newspaper?"

This time it was Hanks' turn to be in a hurry. When the middle-aged uncle heard this, he grabbed the collar on the herald's chest, lifted the other party's feet off the ground, and glared at his subordinates fiercely and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about, is Your Highness's affairs also your responsibility?"

Seeing this, the militia who delivered the news loudly defended himself: "But everyone I know has already talked about this matter. If His Highness wants to protect his reputation, he should take measures as soon as possible to clarify the ins and outs of the whole matter. That's why I asked for the sake of Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

When Hanks heard this, he put down the militia in his hand, and unconsciously agreed with Leonard's nickname for Cleos, and said to himself helplessly: "Damn! The old monster of Cleos has indeed used any despicable means." ”

Then, Crotty's calm words suddenly woke up the dreamers who were lost in their own position and could not extricate themselves: "It seems that this newspaper has created a lot of gossip that fills the streets. Deliberately fabricating and releasing such rumors is nothing more than a psychological tactic. If we lose our breath because of this, we fall into the trap of the other side. "The female swordsman of the elven clan is worthy of being in the Holy Swordsman Regiment, and she knows very well what the Pharocion address book is for.

Leonard was the first to come to his senses: "So what should we do next?"

Crotty's face did not change in the slightest and he replied, "According to the original plan, it will not change." ”

Hanks took Leonard's words and questioned Crotty provocatively: "Who are you?

In the face of Hanks's questioning, Crotty's expression was not flustered at all, and his words were methodical and answered: "My identity still needs to be kept secret. The reason why this newspaper did not mention me is probably also a psychological tactic. Treat all of us differently in order to achieve the goal of dividing and disintegrating our entire team. ”

Howl thought that Crotty was closest to his position, so he tried his best to help the elven female swordsman: "That's right. The newspaper only mentioned the identity of an orc to me. It seems that Cleos is indeed very concerned about us all getting together, and is trying to drive a wedge between us. ”

Seeing this, Tina struck while the iron was hot to persuade Hanks. "Cleos doesn't want us all together. The more we should all unite and advance together. Because, he was obviously scared. Hanks, are you right?"

When Hanks heard this, he jumped out of the carriage, got down on one knee, put his right hand on his chest, and saluted reverently: "Exactly." Your Highness. All your subordinates will do their bidding. The middle-aged uncle's heart once again felt that it was a blessing for the Lars Empire to have such a wise princess.

Tina bent down, took Hanks' arms with both hands, and helped the middle-aged uncle like a lord treating a virtuous minister, and instructed the other party: "Hanks." Please hurry up, don't be so polite in the future, and don't call me Her Royal Highness the Princess. Just call your name. Avoid being bumped into by outsiders and adding unnecessary risks and troubles for no reason. ”

Hanks stood up and agreed, "Male... Tina. I understand. ”

Seeing this, Crotty coughed, and summarized objectively and rationally: "Ahem... Not all of the bad news in this newspaper is true. First of all, it proves that I, Leonard, Bran, and Howl are all Tina's companions.

Secondly, it reveals the identities of Tina and Bran, two nobles of rival countries, inadvertently exposing the flaws of self-contradiction. Every citizen who has read the newspaper can't help but ask in his heart: Why did the princess of the Lars Empire flee with the son of the Principality of Bagram and the president of the Mercenary Association?

Even if there is a so-called love affair between the two, after the outbreak of war, it should become an inseparable enemy. Assuming that we had taken Tina hostage, there would be even more suspicions. When the people of the Lars Empire find out about the whereabouts of our gang of kidnappers, won't they inform the coalition forces and bring troops to save their princess?

Under the threat of the coalition forces, and without the help of the local people, who would believe that we could escape from the Lars Empire? ”

When the militia who delivered the news heard this, they asked Crotty: "Excuse me, how can the rumors in the newspaper be clarified?"

Crotty replied with a clear mind: "When the right to speak is in the hands of the rumor-mongers." The more you try to clarify the rumor, the darker it will become. Don't worry about it, as long as we finally find out the truth and clear our name. Rumors will be self-defeating. ”

The militia who delivered the news suddenly thought of something and reported: "Her Royal Highness the Princess." The coalition forces also carried out extremely bloody and brutal repression of the guerrillas in the city of Mandolia. Thousands of people were strewn across the streets, and the situation was horrific. Many neighborhoods in the city were reduced to scorched earth under rubble. ”

Hearing this, Tina raised her staff in both hands, and swore loudly with tears in her eyes: "I swear that I will expel all the invaders from the Lars Empire, so that our motherland will once again stand in the east of the continent of FarouciΓ³n, and win the respect and awe of all the countries of the world." Seeing this, the militia who delivered the news did not say anything, but stood up with a solemn expression, gave a military salute to the princess, and turned to leave.

Tina lowered her head, wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, and told Hanks softly, "Hanks." I heard that you have not returned to your hometown this time. I'll take you a few days off and go back and visit your family. ”

When Hanks heard this, he refused with a serious expression: "There is no need. We are now faced with a situation that has reached the most urgent and critical juncture. I didn't have the time, and I never thought about going back to visit my family. ”

Tina tried to convince Hanks, "But your wife and children must be eagerly looking forward to it, can you go back and see them?"

Hanks continued to refuse loudly with a serious expression: "There is absolutely no such thing. I'm right with my wife. Both of our families have also been greatly favored by His Majesty the Emperors. Our parents settled on us when we were very young. Later, she and I got married as a matter of course.

Before getting married, I hadn't even seen her looks. But I know very well that she, like myself, is as loyal to the royal family of the Lars Empire, and that is enough! There is no way they can expect me to go back to them. ”

When Tina heard this, she asked with great interest: "It turns out that your marriage was arranged by your parents. Don't you have a deep relationship with your wife?"

Hanks recounted his feelings and asked proudly, "Again, that's not the case." The relationship between the two of us is very deep. Even my parents like her very much. If there is a person who has been taking care of your parents and children for many years. You almost never go home to visit her. She still has no regrets, every time you come home, she smiles and never complains, so that you feel extremely happy and warm from the inside to the outside. Such a person, can you not love her?"

Tina didn't find this way of falling in love and marrying anything romantic, and asked Hanks further: "It seems to me that she is only doing this out of the duty of a wife." Where is your love?"

Hanks then expounded his own view of marital love, and broke the news: "Isn't responsibility a kind of love? I think that a marriage like ours is much happier than those who disobey their parents' orders and thus bring suffering to themselves." People can't always live in illusory romance, and if you want to live a down-to-earth life, you have to take responsibility.

For example, His Majesty the Emperor has allowed you to become a mercenary, in fact, in order to get you closer to Bran. By deepening the relationship between the two of you, you can further agree on your marriage with Andy. ”

When Tina heard this, she couldn't help but cry out in surprise: "What!?"

Bran then understood why Andy would encourage him to team up with Tina during the team match in the arena, and he couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "How can there be such a thing!?"

Hanks concluded: "But now so many unexpected things have happened. His Majesty the Emperor is no longer alive. It is estimated that no one will mention this matter again in the future. When everyone heard this, they were speechless and thought silently.

After much thought, Crotty first broke the silence and asked a series of questions: "No matter what has happened before." All we have to do now is set off for Bagram right away. About the farm that **** used to go to. Do you want to stop by and investigate? Are the two guides who conspired with **** still in that place?"

When Hanks heard this, he replied confidently to his subordinates: "As for that farm, I have already arranged for reliable subordinates to go there. As soon as there is news, the guerrillas will send someone to inform us. The appearance of the two guides is also very familiar to the locals. If they dare to show their faces, they will be arrested. So without saying a word, the people set out on their way.

The group arrived at the border of the Lars Empire, near a small village in the town of Cida, and settled down temporarily. Then, Hanks went to the town of Sida alone, went to find out, and told his friends in the living room of a private house: "Tina, it's really not going to work. The town of Sta is littered with Vosfita Republic soldiers, and you are wanted everywhere. I think we have to get into Bagram by other means. ”

Hearing this, Tina stood up from her chair, looked around at the faces of everyone present, pressed her hands on the table top, and asked, "It seems that it is not easy to go to Bagram. What should we do next?"

When Leonard heard this, he also stood up and put forward a bold idea: "Then, let's make a detour into the territory of the Republic of Vosfita first, and then find a way to sneak into Bagram." In fact, the most dangerous places are sometimes the safest. ”

The reason why Leonard does not mention the Winged Nation of Naknaru located in the western border of the Lars Empire. It is because Nakonaru is a country full of high mountains and deep valleys, mountains and mountains, narrow and steep roads, extremely difficult to navigate, and extremely closed and conservative politics.

The Winged Terran also generally regard themselves as the people of heaven, and they are very xenophobic, and they look down on foreign races at all. With the exception of invited dignitaries and merchants who were allowed to send supplies to the country, it would be more difficult for foreigners to enter Nakonaru than it would be to break through the blockade of the Republic of Vosfita.

Hanks, who had always liked to contradict Leonard, immediately vetoed the bill: "No! Cleos' army is manhunting us everywhere. Patrols and searches in the border areas of the Republic of Vosfita will certainly increase dramatically. ”

When Leonard heard this, he turned against his opponent: "Then what do you say we should do?"

Hanks casually said the news that a subordinate who was in the village a few days ago and delivered a message told him: "It is said that the convoy of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce can enjoy the treatment of exemption from inspection, and can enter and exit any country on the continent of Farusion at will. A few days ago, I received information from the guerrillas: Jia Creef, a big merchant in Shevis Port, has obtained the qualification of a merchant of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, and is rushing to Sida Town with a batch of supplies. I don't know if it's true or not?"

Crotty stood up and introduced as if he knew more about this Five Elements Chamber of Commerce: "The Five Elements Chamber of Commerce is not only the largest in the Republic of Vosfitta, but also the largest business organization in the Continent of Farushion. It is said that in every country on the continent, there are quite a few nobles who have unexplained and unexplained secret ties with this commercial organization. A considerable part of the goods sold by the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce are contraband that are strictly prohibited by the laws of various countries, but they are also things that nobles and lords crave. As a result, the goods of this chamber of commerce generally enjoy the treatment of exemption from inspection in various countries. ”

When Hanks heard this, he questioned when he saw the stitches: "Could it be that you used to be a member of this Five Elements Chamber of Commerce?"

Crotty replied with an unchanged face: "No, I just traded with them a few times and knew a little bit about it." ”

Tina finally made a decision: "Then it's decided." Let's wait in this village for a while. In the meantime, Hanks sends your men to get in touch with Cliff as much as possible. It would be best if we could get his help into Bagram. If that doesn't work, we'll think of another way. As a result, Leonard and the others remained in the small village, waiting for good news from Hanks' men.
