Chapter 4: The French Empire: Proclamation
The world is divided into 2 continents, Yulia and Rabiel, and the Sea of Death is separated by the 2 continents. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe French Empire is one of the three countries located in the south of the Yulia continent, and it belongs to a medium-level military imperial country, how strong is the specific national strength, how much stronger or weaker than other countries, Reed is not very clear, Reed is just a small mercenary who serves the adventurer's association, and he can't even call all the countries on the Yulia continent by name. Politics is not what Reed needs to care about.
Moreover, there are very few wars between countries on the continent, because in this world, human beings mainly compete with Warcraft for territory and resources, and carry out unknown exploration and exploration of nature, so people are friendly and the world is peaceful. As for the other continent - Rabi El Continent, legend has it that there are many mysterious creatures living on it, including elves with long ears and tall statures, dwarves with a simple temperament who love metal ores, and strange creatures such as strong orcs with hideous faces.
The Guild's instructions to Reed were to obey the announcement of the Provisional Mobilization Announcement of the French Empire, that is, as soon as the announcement of the mobilization was received, he would immediately set off for the town of Ill in the south to assist the Flame Legion of the French Empire in suppressing the commotion in Ill, and no matter what happened, the military order of the Flame Legion would prevail. There must have been a large-scale riot. The mobilization announcement had been issued five days earlier, and most of the people should have already arrived in Eir, and Reed had to go on his own, hoping to catch up with the large army to join the Flame Legion.
"Boss!" Just as Reed was about to "gently let me go, just as I will come gently, without taking a cloud with me", a rough but very familiar shout completely attracted Reed's attention, not only that, Reed clearly felt the pain of his eardrums, and the owner of the sound must have an indescribable blood relationship with the sonic boom bat.
Reed looked back, and sure enough, it was an acquaintance, and he was very familiar, and the person who shouted was Reed's only good friend in his life - Schut. Shut and Reed are friends who have grown up together in adoption since childhood, and Reed no longer remembers how he got acquainted with Xiut, but Xiut is arrogant and unscheming, and anyone should be good friends with Xiut.
Shut is a two-handed warrior, and after qualifying as a junior warrior, he left the adoption facility a year before Reed to serve the guild, and during the years that Reed later came out on mercenary missions, the two often worked together and completed many high-level tasks. It wasn't until half a year ago that Xiute was transferred to the north by the association to serve, and there was less contact between the two.
"Monkey! When did you come back? ā
"When I first arrived in town, the Guild wanted me to go to Il in the south, so I took a detour to see if I could meet you."
"Announcement of the temporary mobilization of the French Empire? How did you pull all the people from the north over, the matter is not so serious. ā
"No, it's the new recruits of the association branch in the north who have graduated this year and can start serving the association on a mission, so the branch plans to transfer me back, and it just so happens that the association received an announcement from the empire, so it simply asked me to participate in the mission by the way, and after I finish, I will stay in the south without going back."
"That's great, we can go on a mission together again, I haven't seen you for half a year, you're a lot bigger."
"Of course, I said boss, compared to me, if you don't train your muscles more intensively, they will all shrink and disappear." After Shut finished speaking, he deliberately showed off his terrifying biceps, and then looked at Reed with a hateful smile, and Reed began to be angry #Ā„%ā*......
During a rescue mission a few years ago, Shut single-handedly moved a tonnage boulder blocked at the entrance of the cave, and then when he was covering the return trip of his teammates and rescue targets, he killed the triangular lizard that came to forage for food, and everyone gave him the nickname "Angry Ape". Looking at his muscles comparable to rocks, I don't need to explain much about his nickname of "Angry Ape", I believe everyone can understand it, so Reed calls him a monkey, and if everyone remembers Reed's pitiful and ridiculous nickname, they must not be surprised that Xiut calls Reed the boss.
Reed and Shut hadn't seen each other for half a year, and they had been arguing with each other for a long time, before they packed up and set off for the town of Il, in Shut's words, "Eyr, it will be a holy place to witness the boss and King Kong (apparently he refuses to call Reed a monkey) to re-reign in the mercenary world." ā

Blood, everywhere was blood, and the blood mixed with dirt and dust was unusually dark, and in a few places it even merged into a small pond of blood. The pungent smell of blood irritated Reed and Xiut one after another, even though the two were battle-hardened mercenaries who had experienced many scenes of escape from death, they were still inexplicably afraid of so much blood.
Corpses, piles of corpses scattered everywhere, in every corner, as if this was a purgatory for corpses. The smell of corpses in the sky was inevitably smelled by the two of them a few miles away, so strong that it even covered up the strong smell of blood, and it was not until the two of them walked into this Shura Hell that they experienced a disgusting aura mixed with corpse stench and blood.
Quiet, no birds, no insects, except for two rapid heartbeats, even the wind stopped breathing, making the whole scene even more eerie.
Weapons, flags, etc., were scattered all over the place, intertwined with blood and corpses, and the dead were horrified, with expressions of despair and fright on their faces, or weeping unwillingly, and their internal organs overflowed everywhere, and many of the corpses were completely skinless, with no hands or feet.
This is the scene that Reed and Xiut saw when they arrived at an unknown village about half a day's away from Il Town 7 days later, Reed and Xiut are just mortals, and they are overwhelmed by the scene in front of them, the French Empire has not been at war for many years, and they have never been on the battlefield, when have they been exposed to this bloody and violent picture of 10,000 people beheading, it is already a very good performance that they did not vomit.
As they cautiously walked through the corpse area, trying to find an open space or crevice to land, but still stepping on a piece or two of minced flesh or an unrecognizable mixture of organs and blood and water at each step, they made their way towards Il, when a weak voice stopped the two men.
"Hey, you two, come and help me." This sudden sound startled Reed and Xiut, knowing how tense their nerves were at the moment, if Reed had a bow and arrow in his hand, he would be the first to shoot at the source of the sound.
A window in a small house on the left side of the road was pushed open, revealing a faintly recognizable gray face in the dim light, fortunately, though pale, but still slightly alive. Reed and Shut were secretly on guard and walked towards the house. It's not their villain, it's such a person who appears in such a hell on earth, and Reed and the two of them don't understand the situation at all, "the heart of defense is indispensable".
When they finally entered the house and got used to the light, in front of them was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties wearing a military uniform with a simple bandage on his left shoulder.
"Is there anything to eat, I haven't eaten in two days." Hut pulled out a piece of dry food from his backpack, and Reed handed the kettle over. The middle-aged man immediately devoured it, judging the two of them from the weak appearance just now. Although both Reed and Schutt had many questions to ask, they were both silent for the time being.
"I know, I'll tell you everything slowly." After the middle-aged man ate and drank, he looked at the two of them wanting to talk and stopped, and while leaning on the corner of the wall to recover the strength that had replenished his energy, he told them about the middle-aged man's personal experience these days.
