Chapter 36: Uncle returns to the team

A few days later, the group arrived in a small town near the banks of the Finnas River. Leonard, Tina www.biquge.info and Crotty stepped out of the carriage to buy some food from the townspeople. Bran and Howl stay in the car, watching for movement around them and preventing any suspicious characters from approaching.

Walking on the empty streets of the town, surrounded by old houses, but there was no trace of a single figure, Tina couldn't help but wonder suspiciously: "Strange. Why is there no one in this place?"

When Leonard heard this, he began to speculate about the reason: "Not long ago, the coalition forces passed near this place. The townspeople are all scared, so they have all fled or gone into hiding. ”

Leonard's voice just fell. Tina felt the pain of hearing the bad news that all 50,000 troops of the Lars Empire had been annihilated a few days ago, and her eyes were sobbing with tears, and her lips almost sobbed: "So, Hanks..."

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed in front of the three of them. Crotty raised his right arm and pointed at the shadow, reminding his partner loudly, "Look at ——"

Seeing this, Leonard hurriedly took a big step forward, put his hand into a tube, put it to his mouth, and asked loudly at the black shadow: "Hey, ——friend." Who are you?"

Looking at this flashing black shadow, Tina's heart couldn't help but ignite hope, and immediately wondered if the person in front of her could be Hanks, so she shouted and quickly chased after him: "Don't care who he is." Let's catch up. More on that later. ”

After running some distance, the shadow stopped and stood still, glancing back at Leonard and them. I saw that this person was wearing a black cloak and a black cloth cover that only showed two eyes, and when he saw the Great Swordsman and the others chasing after him, he hurriedly flashed again and squeezed into a narrow gap between the two old houses that only allowed one person to pass through. Immediately after, Leonard rushed forward, Tina was in the center, and Crotty was reluctant to chase after him, and he also got into the narrow gap that the other party squeezed into.

The shadow squeezed into the gap and ran forward, reaching a towering wall. It can be seen that he has entered a dead end. Then the fellow turned around, tore off his hood, and showed a scruffy, slightly fat, ugly face, drew a steel sword from his waist, pointed it at Leonard, and asked in a loud voice, "Who are you, and why are you here?"

When Tina heard this, she opened her mouth and was eager to answer first: "We are..."

Seeing this, Leonard immediately turned his head, waved his hand at Tina, and made a silent gesture. Then the great swordsman turned around, also drew his sword from his waist, pointed it at the middle-aged sword-wielding man with an ugly face, and asked loudly: "Then I should ask first, who are you, what are you for?"

The middle-aged man with the sword saw that the three people in front of him were not wearing any regular army armor or uniforms, but they were able to run freely with their weapons, and drew their swords with quick movements; Otherwise..."

Hearing this, Leonard sneered, continued to point his sword at the middle-aged man's nose, and asked in a rather disdainful tone: "What if we are mercenaries? Why surrender? Otherwise, what else can you do?"

When the middle-aged man with the sword heard this, he called loudly, and slapped the scabbard twice with the blade of the steel sword: "The mercenaries are all the lackeys of Cleos's captivity, and all of them should die! If you don't surrender, we will release the arrows—— "Horn! I saw that the windows on both sides of this dead end, above Leonard's head, and on the second floor of the old house, opened one after another. Squeak-croak--more than a dozen militiamen of the Lars Empire poked their heads out of the window, raised their bows and crossbows, and aimed at the Great Swordsman and the others.

Finding that her partner had fallen into a trap, Crotty was the first to react and shout, "Oh no, there's an ambush!"

The middle-aged man holding the sword was already nervous with sweat at the moment, his heart was pounding, he was holding the sword in his right hand, pressing his chest with his left hand, gasping for breath, and shouting loudly: "Let them ——...run away—— let them run!"

It's too late, it's too soon. I saw that Leonard, who was closest to the middle-aged man's position, suddenly exerted his strength, took two or three arrow steps forward, and rushed to the other party's eyes, and knocked out the weapon held by the middle-aged man with a sword. Bang!

The frightened middle-aged man couldn't help but scream, and more cold sweat oozed from his forehead: "Oops——"

Because the middle-aged man's attitude just now was very unreasonable. So Leonard didn't want to talk to him too much, raised his sword in his right hand, put it on the other party's neck, twisted his right arm with his left hand, and coerced loudly: "Dead pig's head pretending to be a ghost, quickly tell all your people to retreat to Uncle Ben and let us go out." ”

Although the middle-aged man turned pale with fright, his legs trembled, and his whole body trembled, the duck died and had a hard mouth, and he still shouted loudly with his face, asking the militia on the second floor to release arrows: "You... Leave me alone!—— release the arrows—— shoot these damn mercenaries to death——..."

Seeing this, Leonard shouted loudly and twisted the middle-aged man's arm fiercely: "You dead pig's head is quite backbone——!

The middle-aged man's mouth immediately let out a loud wail: "Oh, hey—— help—— who will save me——..."

With a huge roar that seemed to burst out from the mouth of the Hedong lion, there came continuously: "Gurba, you dead ghost, what are you still messing with?..." The middle-aged man's whole body was suddenly cold in horror, and he couldn't help but shiver all over his body. I saw a middle-aged woman with rough eyebrows, a thick body and a round waist, and wearing ordinary peasant clothes, fierce and arrogant, approaching Gurpa.

Turning back with Tina and running out of the alley, Crotty, who had already communicated with the other party to solve the problem, also frowned, looked gloomy, and threatened Ben to Leonard, and admonished loudly: "Leonard." In particular, you should reflect on your usual obedient words and deeds, and don't mess around at every turn and cause trouble to everyone. ”

As soon as the middle-aged woman stepped forward, she grabbed Gulba's ears and dragged the middle-aged man in black out of the dead end like a chicken: "I said what are you doing badly, a dead ghost? I don't know if I will pay for this cheap life of yours one day. ”

Gulpa bared his teeth in pain and shouted, "Hey—— my wife will spare me! Besides, I am doing this for the sake of our motherland——..."

Gulba's wife continued to lash out, "Then you should take care of your own affairs first, and don't always cause trouble to the guerrillas..."

Turning to the other side, facing the furious Crotty, Leonard closed one of his eyes lightly, threw a smile on his face, and nodded in apology: "Yes, yes, my young lady." He wanted to use this method to charm the female swordsman of the elven clan, so as to achieve his goal of escaping the punishment of the other party. However, Crotty did not accept this set at all, and seemed to have long been accustomed to this trick, completely ignoring the acting skills of the great swordsman, and quickly pressed over with more and more annoyance.

Seeing this, Leonard instinctively recalled the scene when he was taught by his father-in-law because he was naughty, and stretched his hands up very quickly, about to protect his ears: "No—— do you want to pull my ears too?"

Unexpectedly, Crotty's hand speed was faster than Leonard's, it was lightning fast, and he caught the target in an instant with great skill and sophistication, and at the same time taught the other party angrily: "I'm not as good at talking as Tina." Not to mention that you are the former commander of the Second Swordsman Regiment, even the ears of the current group army generals have been plucked by themselves. In my dictionary: if you don't have a good attitude and deliberately do something wrong, you must be punished——"

A desolate and mournful wail then resounded: "Uhh——h

Andy, who was far away in Bagram, and another person couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his ears: "Ouch!" "Oops!"

It turned out that in the town where Leonard and they were, a group of Lars Empire guerrillas who were ready to resist the invasion of the coalition forces had gathered. When the Great Swordsman held Gurba hostage. Having stepped out of the cul-de-sac, Tina showed a red crystal token carved with a black dragon to several of the militiamen gathered around her: "We are not enemies. This is a token that symbolizes the royal authority of the Lars Empire..."

After a while, a militiaman led a middle-aged man with a brown and black cloth towel wrapped around his head, ragged clothes, a tattered cloak behind his back, a thin face, and two mustaches on his lips walked not far in front of Tina, and introduced: "Chief." She is the one who calls herself a princess. She also has a token that symbolizes the authority of our royal family, I don't know if it's real or not?

Before the militia called the leader could speak, Tina was very excited and strode forward to meet her, and preemptively called: "Hanks—— is it really you?—— it's great that you're still alive..."

As soon as Hanks saw Tina, he let out a tom, landed on his right knee, and fell down on one knee in front of the princess; his right hand held the ground tightly, and his left hand pressed on the squatting left leg, hanging his head; he didn't even dare to raise his head, and he felt extremely guilty in his heart, and he blamed himself loudly: "Your Royal Highness, Princess! It also reduced His Highness to such a point. This is all a dereliction of duty on the part of subordinates. Please condemn your sins and punish your subordinates. ”

Tina walked up to Hanks, stretched out her hands, and comforted the other party in a soothing tone: "Hanks, you have lost a lot of weight, and your clothes are a lot dirty. Stand up, I won't blame you. ”

When Hanks heard this, he still squatted on his knees, buried his head and didn't dare to get up, and once again asked clearly: "What is the suffering that his subordinates have suffered compared to the suffering suffered by His Highness? His subordinates should have stood up when the motherland was in danger, sacrificed their lives for the country, and died on the battlefield.

However, Gou, who was secretly living by his subordinates, survived. His Majesty the Emperor but... "As a noble samurai, the middle-aged uncle knows how much of a negative impact his actions will have on his reputation if he is not forgiven by Tina, and will even cause him to be spurned by his entire family, and he will not be able to return to his hometown to see his father.

Hearing this, Tina put away her smile, and turned to ask with a solemn expression and an unambiguous attitude: "Since this is the case." Hanks, would you like to continue to fight for your country?"

When Hanks heard this, tears welled up in his moved eyes, and he agreed without hesitation: "My subordinates are willing!"

Seeing this, Tina, who knew Hanks' temperament, decided to strike while the iron was hot, raised the staff in her hand high, and continued to inspire the middle-aged uncle with a solemn and solemn expression: "I have decided to seek justice from the Elven King Cleos, so that our great motherland will once again become one of the most prosperous countries on the continent of Farusion. Hanks. If you are willing to help me, stand up. When the middle-aged uncle heard this, he didn't say a word, and stood up all of a sudden.

At this moment, Hanks suddenly shouted: "Your Highness be careful——" I saw him jump behind Tina, spread his arms, and protect the female mage. In front of the middle-aged uncle, Leonard and Crotty are strolling in.

Then, as if he had discovered the enemy's situation, Hanks immediately pulled out the dagger in the holster of his left arm, glared at Leonard and Crotty with a fierce look, pointed the dagger at them, and asked the other party unceremoniously: "Leonard! Why are you here?

Seeing this, Leonard opened his mouth and scolded: "Lie on ——..." He thought to himself: You bastard boy has only been seen for a few days, and you have turned your face like this and didn't recognize anyone!?

Seeing this, Crotty, who was standing beside Leonard, immediately shouted to stop the great swordsman: "Leonard!" Hearing this, Leonard couldn't help but reach out and touch the ear on his head, which was still faintly painful, and instantly stopped continuing to slow down.

Tina, who was standing behind Hanks, also turned around at this moment and dissuaded the middle-aged uncle: "Hanks, you should also calm down." ”

Hanks continued to glare at Leonard and Crotty viciously, pointing a dagger at the Great Swordsman's face and responding to Tina: "Your Highness." You know, this guy led the so-called Republic of Vosfita and the Second Swordsmen as the vanguard of the enemy army all the way to Mandolia City. His Majesty the Emperor didn't know if he killed him!"

When Leonard and Crotty heard this, they immediately lost their words, their eyes widened in surprise, and their expressions were very embarrassed and stunned: "This..."

When the militia gathered around Hanks and Tina heard this, they were furious, and they shouted and cursed along with Gurba: "What!?" "Bastard——" "Come on—— "... I saw that the militia raised their weapons and were about to attack Leonard and Crotty.

Seeing this, Leonard also pulled out the broad-bladed sword in his sheath and lit up in front of him, leaning back against Crotty and teasing himself in a low voice: "God." I didn't expect it to look like this. "Of course, the Great Swordsman is not ready to be captured and killed, but he didn't expect to fight the militia of the Lars Empire here.

Seeing this, tears flashed again in her jewel-like crystal eyes, and she was extremely annoyed by the current situation, and yelled loudly: "Stop—— you haven't even figured out the situation, how can you be so ——nonsense" Hearing the female mage's order, Hanks and the militia were all instantly stunned in place, and stopped their action of waving weapons at Leonard and Crotty like ice.

Tina's eyes glistened with tears, and she continued to ask emotionally: "It was Alonso's traitor who murdered his father, and he has been eliminated by Leonard and them. And they are the ones who got me here. How can you do this!?"

Seeing this, Hanks led his militia to face Tina, knelt on one knee and bowed their heads in apology: "Your Highness, I'm too impulsive... I'm really sorry...""Your Royal Highness, I'm sorry. We really shouldn't be like this...""Because I heard that it was the murderer of His Majesty the Emperor. That's why we're ..."...

Seeing this, Tina only felt inexplicable, completely unable to accept the apology of Hanks and the others, and immediately reminded them: "Why do you want to apologize to me? These two are the ones who have been wronged by you for no reason, right?"

Hanks still showed that he was not trusting outsiders at all, and continued to kneel on the ground and persuade Tina: "Your Highness." Don't you think that the reason why these two people will save you is that they follow you with all their hearts and have bad intentions?"

When Tina heard this, she yelled at Hanks and refuted: "Hanks, why are you always like this!? In fact, the kidnapping of the royal brother and the murder of the father were all plots planned by Cleos. Leonard, their Second Swordsmen, were also victims of this conspiracy. ”

When Hanks heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and immediately remembered some past events, and asked, "What!? Then may I ask Your Highness, what kind of conspiracy is this? That mage named ****..."

While Tina answered Hanks's doubts, she couldn't help but ask, "Yes." That **** is most likely a spy for the Republic of Vosfitta. As for the rest, we'll talk about that later. Also, about the royal brother..."

Hearing this, Hanks shook his head and sighed, "You are now the sole heir to His Majesty's will. "The middle-aged uncle didn't want to mention anything about the crown prince, and he didn't want to say good things about that bad element, nor did he want to say bad things about the dead leader. Because he himself was on the battlefield, he was also a deserter in great disgrace. When Tina heard this, her face couldn't help but flow two lines of tears.

Then Gurba took the lead and walked in front of Crotty with several militiamen, scratching his scalp, blushing his cheeks with embarrassment, and apologizing with a shy stomach: "I'm sorry, please forgive..."

Leonard was particularly angry when he saw that the militia had completely ignored his existence, and only cared about competing with Crotty's courtesy, and stood nearby and sneered angrily: "Hey, you guys! Leave us aside, and have been snubbed until now, without even saying a good word; Do you still have the cheeks?...

If you don't get used to what you see, something will follow. I saw Gurba's wife, who was five big and three thick, with a full face and a fleshy face, throwing her eyebrows and eyes, holding her chin with both hands, and leaning in front of Leonard; My husband is causing you trouble again. Have you had breakfast, and how about coming to my house now?"

Seeing this, Leonard's face immediately turned pale, and he was so disgusted that he almost vomited all the things he had eaten for breakfast, and hurriedly took a big step behind him, and responded in horror: "Wow!!—— I already understand your kindness." Eat or something, forget it. ”

Gulba's wife has always disliked her husband for being ugly and incompetent, and seeing that Leonard is the type she admires, she naturally refuses to give up easily, and takes another step forward, and continues to ask enthusiastically and angrily: "Don't be embarrassed, little handsome man." It's just a matter of going to eat..."The people of the Lars Empire did not think that Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was extremely noble, would look down on a mercenary leader with such a low status.

At this moment, Leonard, who was cornered and had nowhere to hide, his whole face had turned green, and he asked loudly: "No?——..." The great swordsman thought that he was very bad at getting along with women who were older than him. If there were no acquaintances present, he was not afraid of affecting his image, he would have punched him a long time ago. But with Tina present, Leonard was extremely reluctant to behave so badly.

At this moment, a guerrilla of the Lars Empire rushed straight from a distance in a panic and announced loudly: "Chief—— there is a carriage outside the town that is surrounded by the troops of the Republic of Vosfitta!"

When Tina heard this, she shouted to the militia under Hanks's command, "It's Bran and howl! we must hurry to their rescue!" and then the mage led the crowd straight to where the carriage was, and turned back the way it came.

When Leonard heard this, he let out a long breath, took three steps and made two steps, and finally got rid of the entanglement of Gurba's wife, and thought, "I am finally saved..."

At this time, Crotty led the way in front like a strict instructor, turned back to the militia chasing her behind her, and shouted loudly: "Your physical training is far from enough! If you are not a bad seed, you will speed me up immediately! If you can't keep up, all of them are rubbish, and you can't be counted as a soldier at all..."

Hanks, who was following Tina, gradually ran side by side with Leonard, and whispered to threaten the other party: "Leonard, I don't know what your intentions are. But as long as you dare to do anything wrong. I promise you're going to die a terrible death. ”

Leonard was annoyed when he heard this, and replied in a very unfriendly whisper: "Are you itching your skin? If you want to die, Uncle Ben can fulfill you now!"

When Hanks heard this, he snorted out of his nose with extreme disdain, and shook his hand away from Leonard: "Hmph——"
