Chapter 266: The One Who Delivered the Message

He is over 50 years old this year, has experienced ups and downs, and has seen countless human tragedies, so he naturally knows that instead of watching his lover suffer and be powerless more than ten years later, it is better to let her hear the bad news from afar one day after she is accustomed to a peaceful life, and has become a wife or even a mother, and then she will suffer much less damage.

The power of time can smooth out all pain, even if Yun'er will hate him in the future, then hate it.

Since coming out of that mountain, Yun'er has fallen ill, even if he is a bishop, it will not help this kind of heartache, no matter how precious the medicinal stone is, it is ineffective at this time.

But today, Yun'er's spirit is much better, and she can already eat some porridge and side dishes, while there are more and more voices talking about the war on the street, which is not a good thing.

He played with the jade gourd in his hand and made up his mind.

Ten minutes later, he walked into Yun'er's room with a pot of tea and slowly poured a cup.

"It's a soothing tea that will give you a good night's sleep and a drink after eating. Lynch said.

Yun'er raised her hand to cover her red and swollen eyes, nodded slightly, and did not speak, just leaned lazily on Alexandra's lap, letting her comb her unkempt hair.

After another hour, Lynch returned to the room again, and saw that Yun'er had fallen asleep, and he poked above Yun'er's head, and said to Alexandra, who was standing in front of the bed, "Come out with me, I have something to discuss with you." ”

It wasn't until the small garden of the hotel that Lynch said to the woman: "That pot of tea is indeed a medicinal tea that calms the mind and cleans the heart, but the dosage is a little larger, and Xiao Yun will be in a coma for two days."

By the time she woke up, we were already on the train. ”

Alexandra didn't have a surprised expression, she just asked, "I know you won't hurt her, but you really want to do this?"

Lynch pulled his long hair and explained softly: "I also have no choice, I can't hide this matter from you, and you will know sooner or later."

Now it is rumored that the Prairie people have broken through the southeastern defense line of the Wardsmann Empire, and there is also a rumor that the city of Gaokan has been slaughtered. ”

Alexandra hurriedly asked, "Really?"

Lynch made a gesture to signal her not to panic, and then explained: "I have already asked the temple here, it is true that the steppe people have invaded, and the number of people may reach the level of tens of millions, but the so-called breach of the defense line is just a rumor.

At most, a few outpost checkpoints have been lost, and the main force of the army of Gaokan City has not been damaged, and now it is only in a stalemate.

Telling you this is just to put you at ease, and by the way, help me persuade Xiaoyun.

Her body had been damaged by the injury she had sustained a year earlier, and she couldn't be scared anymore.

As for this news, we can hide it for a while, after all, it is not easy for her to make this decision.

The most important thing is that Count Brad also agreed to Xiao Yun's departure, which means that he has made arrangements for Philip, and I am afraid that Xiao Yun will only increase his sadness if he stays there.

What is the attitude of the Wardsmann Empire towards aliens, you feel it the most, and the Snape family is already the best in it. ”

Lynch said a lot, but she was still a little touched by the fact that a mixed-race woman like Alexandra obviously didn't treat her as an outsider.

Alexandra groaned for a moment and said slowly: "I won't talk too much, but I just bitter Xiaoyun's child." It is likely that a woman will only have such an unforgettable relationship once in her life, and I just hope that she can be happier.

But this news can't be hidden for long, sooner or later she will know. ”

Lynch sighed: "Alas, amorous hatred has been empty since ancient times, and a few people can see through the word love, and it is just hurting others and hurting themselves."

Rest early, it's a long journey to the Twins, and you should take care. ”

After saying that, he walked away with his hands behind his back, and Alessandra looked at his back, always feeling a little lonely in it.

In the mountains south of Gaokan City, all the roads to the north were blocked, and Philip and the others went all the way west to find a suitable shelter.

But to their disappointment, the first camp to go to was also an ally of Murphy's, but when they arrived, they were in ruins.

All the half-bloods were slaughtered, and even their clothes, men, women, and children, were stripped of them, and they lay cold in a pool of stinking blood.

Not only that, Philip felt that using locusts to describe this group of steppe wolves had already lifted them, and even wronged other people's locusts.

Not only did they collect the few possessions of the half-bloods, but they also spared the corpses of their own, even if they only had a leather jacket or a scimitar.

I won't go into detail about what kind of insults those mixed-race women have received, but what is even more shocking to Philip and others is that this group of grassland miscellaneous children did not even spare their young children.

Originally, Murphy wondered why there were no children in the pile of corpses, but it was because of kindness, until he found a few small piles of bones in the woods, that they knew what terrible tragedy had happened.

Gerald, who was the first to find out about this, vomited, and the faces of adult soldiers such as Chand were not good-looking.

"They may have been cruel and murderous before, but it never happened. Chand said.

Philip reacted immediately: "Provisions?"

Qian De nodded and analyzed: "Although I don't know what the battle situation is on the front line of Gaokan City, but they are so frantically searching for supplies, even in such a remote place, it shows that they have a lot of troops dispatched this time, so much that their logistics system can hardly bear such a large consumption."

From the strength of the troops we have encountered these days, it can be concluded that the total number of men on this branch alone will not be less than 2 million, which is more than the total number in some years.

Take the 2,000 people we met on the first day as an example, although they also liked to use small tribes as cannon fodder in previous years, it is also rare for them to have such low equipment and combat power.

To put it mildly, if it were all like that, our front-line commanders would be happy to die, simply come and die as many as they want, and there is no pressure at all.

The kind we met that night was the main force, maybe not necessarily well-equipped, but definitely well trained. ”

Philip nodded, he felt that Chand's analysis was very reasonable, although this person liked to drill camp, but his ability and experience were not to be said.

For the past year, at least, Philip has been very happy with him, and he has never felt that being self-motivated is a bad thing.

With pursuit, there will be faith in life, and what is the difference between living in a muddy state and a salted fish.

Isn't Paul finding his faith now, even though he is just raising children, and he thinks it's all good.

Murphy's face was a little ugly, because many half-breeds began to be restless, and even many of them, who had been biased towards prairie people before, were now scolding with blood-red eyes.

The women and children were so frightened that they cried.

Philip came to his side and reassured, "It's time to be more determined in your choice."

I don't know if we'll survive and win this war, but as long as the Lion family in Gokan City remains, I promise you a future, and these people.

You know I'm different from those Southerners, and if it weren't for the incident back then, I wouldn't even have the slightest prejudice like I do now. ”

He said this very sincerely, and this is indeed his heartfelt words.

Murphy's relationship with him is special, even if it is not the relationship on Yun'er's side, in a sense, this man played a crucial role in his upbringing, and he disdains to deceive with lies.

For the deceased, he has always been a double standard.

The group continued to move west, and encountered a small camp that had been slaughtered, and the tragic situation was still the same.

Fortunately, along the way, there were half-bloods who were familiar with the terrain to lead the way, and they skillfully avoided the two steppe people's military peaks.

It was only two days later when they saw a large camp in the distance that they stopped, and Philip and Murphy approached to observe.

At least 30,000 steppe people surrounded it, and the gates of the camp had been opened, and the steppe people went in and out of it.

Thousands of half-breeds were enclosed in a separate place, and a half-breed who seemed to be the leader respectfully accompanied the steppe leader.

When the steppe people pulled the woman and child out of the half-blood, there was a commotion, only to be crushed by the leader.

Murphy said, "That's Langfei, and his own bloodline is closer to the Prairie people. Since Moody's death, it was he who took over the child trafficking business.

Now the Red Skull Thieves are leaderless and divided by several leaders.

Some were destroyed by the temple, others took refuge in other forces, and these people were abandoned without supplies.

I suspect that this time the grassland people are so accurate, there must be an internal response, although I don't know if they are the only ones, but they are the most suspicious. ”

Philip listened, and did not express an opinion, but asked something else: "What have you thought about what I told you yesterday?

It's kind of strange that the Ward people call it discrimination, and you call it that way. ”

Murphy thought for a moment before replying, "Our race has never had a history, but word of mouth has said that hundreds of years ago, there was an amazing ancestor who wanted to dominate this mountain.

At that time, he gave us a name called the Lubo tribe, which means the son of the mountain, and it has been passed down for more than ten years.

It's just that with the death of that ancestor in the outbreak of the Devouring Yuan bloodline, his clan eventually disappeared, and the name was gradually forgotten. ”

Philip had a good-looking smile on his face and said to him, "Then you really should think about how to convince others to join our team, the first patriarch of the Lubo clan.

Don't look over there, let's go north, find a place to settle you down, and then think about the rest. ”

Several people sneaked back to their places quietly, and Murphy never spoke again, only Chander suddenly said, "I don't know if Paul sent the news." ”

Philip glanced at the mountains in the north and said quietly: "Whether the news has been sent back or not, it has been three days, and they already know."

There are so many prairie people, if they can't find the slightest sign of it, they really deserve to die. ”

Everyone began to turn to the higher southern mountain ranges, and after a few days of getting along, Chande and the others were no longer as repulsive as they had been at the beginning.

Even under Philip's persuasion, the two medical officers in the team treated the seriously injured half-breed people, who were shocked by them and gained a wave of fans.

The northernmost point of this wild mountain, in the Red Moon Pass.

Wing Commander Woodrow anxiously urged the signal corps: "Have you contacted the division headquarters, what is the order from above?"

The signal soldier also looked impatient and complained: "Just like yesterday, the division headquarters still asked us to hold on and wait for reinforcements, and the reinforced troops have already hit the road." ”

Woodlaw patted his forehead in despair, and cracked in fear.

He was only a side of the Bill family, and he was more interested in business than a soldier.

But who made his awakened talent more suitable for becoming a martial artist, and was pinned on by the family.

However, after more than 20 years, he was promoted to the rank of wing captain after being unmotivated and waiting for death, which disappointed everyone who had high hopes for him.

But he did not have the slightest feeling of loss, and through his connections, he won the fat gap on this new trade route, and enjoyed a peaceful life of patrolling, hunting, checking goods, and collecting benefits.

But this peaceful and peaceful life was completely shattered until yesterday by an uninvited guest.

Paul, the personal bodyguard of the young lion master Philip, the dignified third-level awakened baron, forced his way through the gate of the military village in the early hours of the morning, waking him up from his sweet dream.

When Woodlaw arrived at the scene, he found Paul unconscious.

The tragic situation on his body made Woodlaw gasp, a hideous scar on his chest, the skin and flesh rolled up, not like a knife and axe, but like it was torn by something, and the only breastplate on his body had been completely deformed.

There was hardly a good skin anywhere else, and more than a dozen large and small scars crisscrossed the country, and the whole person was as embarrassed as if he had been soaking in water for a day.

He really couldn't imagine that anyone in this mountain would have the ability to injure a third-level awakened knight like this.

Could it be that something happened to that young master Philip?

If he knew that Paul had advanced to the fourth level, he would probably be even more sure of his guess.

Before he could finish his guesses, the words of an old sergeant sent him completely into the abyss of despair.

"These wounds are not cut by a sword, but like the handiwork of a steppe wolf.

Yes, that's right, you see these two arrow sores, which are the tooth-shaped arrows that are characteristic of the wolf cubs. ”

At this moment, Paul woke up with the help of a military medical officer.

The first thing he said when he opened his eyes was: "The grassland people are here, report to Gaokan City, 100,000 are in a hurry." ”

After saying that, he coughed, and the wound in his chest hurt his lungs.

The medical officer poured him a potion, and he continued: "The steppe people have scuttled the mountains, and they are constantly advancing here from the breach.

The beast tide a few days ago was their masterpiece, and now Bingfeng is less than two days away from here. ”

"How many of them are there?" asked Woodlow hurriedly.

"At least 300,000 people, if not more, are clearing the camp of the half-bloods and assembling upstream, hurry up and report it, otherwise it will be too late. ”

This news broke the last trace of luck in Woodlow's heart, he had known about the beast tide for a long time, but there was no strange thing that happened in this mountain, so he didn't pay attention to it, let alone send someone to investigate.

Previously, he was even thinking about whether to detain Paul, but looking at the solemn looks of the sergeants around him, he knew that it was impossible for him to hide it and not report it, otherwise he would be torn to pieces by the mutinous soldiers.

"Depp, report to the regimental headquarters for reinforcements. Neville, your brigade searches 100 kilometers along the river.

Gordon, your brigade searches south along the mountain road. It is reported every 50 kilometers, and you must be careful of yourself, unless you have to, you are not allowed to fight hard with the wolf. ”

Now that he has made up his mind, Woodlaw is still very decisive, after all, he has served in the army for more than twenty years.

"My lord, wouldn't it be better to report to the division headquarters as well? His deputy, Quevo, asked.

Woodlaw pondered for a moment and replied, "No, let's wait for the news of the scout team to be confirmed, the one at the regimental headquarters is a cautious eye." ”

There was nothing wrong with Woodlow's response, but the main thing was that he was still confused about Paul's words.

But it is precisely because of this old and cautious that it has triggered a chain reaction, making the direction of the whole situation even more confusing.

When Paul got the news, he tried to get up and return to the mountains to look for Philip's traces, but as soon as he got up and didn't reach the door, his eyes went dark and he fainted again.

At the military headquarters of Gaokan City, Marquis Nuo smashed the water glass in his hand and roared loudly: "Why is such important news only reported now? What is that bastard Willie doing?"

His lieutenant carefully avoided the broken glass on the ground and replied, "Captain Willie's team is unwell, so it was delayed. ”

Marquis Nuo sneered: "What is unwell, I am drunk again." Let him quickly reinforce the front line, make meritorious contributions, and the reinforcements of the division headquarters must also set off immediately.

This old thing, wait for this incident to pass and then clean him up, the corpse is vegetarian, if something happens, he is the sinner of Gaokan City, the sinner of the entire empire. ”

The adjutant nodded and replied, "Yes, but there are only 20,000 people left in the entire Gaokan City, and any less will be dangerous." ”

Marquis Nuo pondered for a moment and asked, "I can't count on the second-line division, those people are already rotten." Two teams were each transferred from the 5th and 6th brigades to supplement the past, and the defense line in the east was not broken, and the city of Gaokan was worry-free.

If it is broken, even a few more brigades will not help, and I personally take the second brigade to guard here.

In addition, forget it, I personally told those old things in the southeast province that now is not the time to talk about it. ”

"Yes, I'll inform the two brigade commanders. ”

To the south of the mountains, Philip and Murphy and others went all the way south, climbing countless lofty mountains and mountains, and trudging through the wilderness that was inaccessible.

As the latitude and altitude increase, the air gets colder and colder, and the distant mountains can already be faintly seen as snow-capped.

It was only the beginning of November, but in the early morning, everyone exhaled a white mist.

Fortunately, the mixed-race ethnic group has leather jackets and is used to suffering from cold, so they don't feel too hard, and Philip and others have excellent physique, so they don't take this temperature to heart.
