Chapter 40: Alliances
Bruce shouted, "It's not fair, the Rust Legion has been fighting the orcs for years, and now the whole continent is in danger, and we have taken out one of their waypoints with your men, and who knows how many more such waypoints there are on the road!" We're going to get tougher and tougher! He slammed the bronze glass on the table, foam splashing on his arm. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Lord Gavin! I don't mean to offend, you and your army have their own reasons for holding on, but we Rusts also have our own beliefs, we fought against evil, resisted their attacks again and again, we fought side by side, and this time too! Sureni looked at the leader of the Sericons, the old knight who had been leading his troops in the Prancing Horse Meadows, his body was emaciated and almost sickly, his dark golden armor supported his body and spirit, and there was nothing in front of the breastplate, Sureni continued, "More than ten years ago, you passed by the Rust Defense Station and praised the perseverance of the Rust people, you are ambitious, you want to completely eradicate the darkness, now, isn't this what we are going to do?" ”
"Yes, you should have only been six or seven years old at the time, but you also know what happened, Barron and I are both soldiers of the kingdom, and I believe he understands why I did this!" Gavin put down his letterhead, looked around the tent, and sighed, "You guys are done eating, go back, now that you know the situation, please be prepared, my cavalry will destroy as many teleportation points as possible." ”
"But, sir! ...... of them," was Alger about to speak, when the old knight interrupted him, "go out, prepare horses and rations for them, and may it not snow." The young knight stopped talking, and walked straight out of the tent.
"Hmph," said Lawrence, who had finished his food, leaned lazily against the thick cushion, and sneered, "Soldiers of the kingdom? Your Excellency, you and your soldiers have already removed the insignia of the kingdom from their armor, and with all due respect, my lord, you are no different from a gang of robbers, and you can already be convicted of treason if you canonize you as a knight without permission! ”
"Young man, I warn you, if it weren't for the fact that you were dressed in Rust, I would have skinned you long ago," Knight Gavin smiled contemptuously, "the least welcome here is the idiots of the Leo family, and I bet you will end up just as badly as the orcs!" ”
"You!" Lawrence blushed, "I won't allow you to ......"
"Lord Gavin," Bibo stood up, "you are a knight of the kingdom, and the focus of our discussion today is not your earldom, nor more than ten years ago, nor some bullshit family!" The point is to unite and exterminate the teleportation points of the demons, fight against the unknown crisis, the grasslands and the people of the villages and towns, either retreat to Rust or go west, your cavalry has no support and provisions, who knows how long it will last! Besides, you don't have a single battle mage! ”
"Soldier, be careful, don't discuss my army!" The leader of the Sericons said to Surene, "Surene, take your people out, maybe you want a comfortable bed to rest for the night, and let me, a veteran, talk to this Rust recruit of yours!" ”
"Yes, sir!" Surenee nodded at Bibo, pursed her lips, signaling him to be careful, Bibo nodded, Lawrence was still angry, and the dwarves pushed him out of the tent.
"You're a mage apprentice? Alger says you have this extraordinary spell skill, attack and blessing! The old knight looked at him as if to see through his heart, "Or you can stay with me, because I seem to have what you need!" ”
"My lord, we have made an alliance to fight evil together. You'll get past the material support of Rust, the Rangers are well-equipped, the heavy cavalry will destroy some orc bullshit portals without much effort, the infantry and other classes will work together, and there will be the support of the Battle Mage," Bibo also looked at Gavin, suppressing the doubts about his father that were about to arise in his mind.
"That's not the point, young man, I've been a soldier all my life," Gavin shook his head and smiled, "Barron, this guy, wants to throw this hot potato to me, he thinks beautifully, the Rusts want to be alone, but who can really stay out of it?" ”
"I don't understand what you mean," Bibo stared at him, "what do you think about the alliance?" ”
"Alright! Young man, I have encountered many things and battles over the years, and I think that my decision is the right one, at least much better than the old man Barron, but who knows what people think in their hearts? Gavin looked at the brazier and waved at him, "Stay away from the people of Rust, I led my army to the west that year, just like you, for glory and peace, and what happened?" The cat regent bird surrendered, and did the kingdom's army do its duty? The garrisons everywhere are the same as the people of Rast, bullshit, lip glory. ”
"So I'd rather not have the stuff on the chest of these men," the old knight continued, "you don't believe me, just as I don't believe you!" So, do we need a little time to get to know each other? ”
Bibo nodded, "I don't know what family struggles are, my hometown, the town of Kavos, almost everyone was slaughtered by the orcs, I swore to avenge them, I passed the assessment of the Rust Legion, joined Lord Barron's garrison, I want to complete the mission, so, please agree, let's fight together!" ”
"I'll seriously consider your suggestion, soldier!" The old knight smiled and said, "Unless, you agree to help my army fight first, isn't that what an alliance is?" The Mage of Rast? Go and rest, although the danger is lurking, we still have a little time! Let them go back tomorrow morning with my reply! After speaking, without waiting for Bibo to answer, the old knight summoned the guards, and Bibo led out of the tent.
The tents of the Serekan cavalry were dotted in the snow, and they began to make fires for cooking and roasting meat, this army of several thousand men had no uniform and no armor, only a few people had leather armor, and in addition to the scimitar, the most commonly used weapon was the longbow, this kingdom army that roamed the steppe for more than ten years has long been forgotten, or is considered a fanatical and evil heretic-like existence.
As they walked through the cavalry's camp, everyone except those who had fought with him before nodded at him, and everyone stared at Bibo warily, as it seemed that both the descendants of the kingdom's army like Alger and the newly recruited cavalry from the vicinity of the steppe were deeply hostile to Raste.
"It's just a rabble!" Before he stepped into the tent, Bibo heard Lawrence yelling, "I've had enough of the bullshit family in my life, and I thought I could get away from Silvermoon City, but it turned out to be like this everywhere I went!" ”
"Haha," the dwarf laughed, "all right, Lawrence, how many people envy your noble blood, your agile skills, and your strong body!" ”
Sureni pursed her lips, "Tut-tut, like a lark in the woods, covered in beautiful feathers, and finally eaten by a fox." ”
Lawrence looked at Bibo who came in dejectedly, "Any news?" I really don't want to stay here for a moment! ”
Knowing the situation, Sureni said, "Well, raccoon, it's up to you!" In any case, you can't go back to Rust! ”
"I understand! Please tell the Commander that as the beginning of the alliance, I will continue my mission here by fighting alongside the Serikan Cavalry! "Thank you and everyone for taking care of me all the time!" ”
"I'll stay, too," Bruce blinked, "boy, I don't want to go cook on the fire and become a squire to some knights while you're away." ”
"See you on the battlefield, dwarves!" Lawrence laughed, "Rust and Sericon are invincible!" ”
"Lord Captain, please take care of Mistress Sureni all the way," Bibo patted Lawrence on the shoulder, "I'll leave it to you, you two should go back as soon as possible, don't be impulsive when you encounter orcs!" ”
"Alright, raccoons and dwarves, we'll take the crows back to the heart of the battle plan, destroy the orc teleportation points, and search for the traces of the demons. May the God of Light bless! After saying that, Surenee stepped out of the tent, "Rest well, Lawrence, I hope you can have raccoon skills!" ”
"Uh," Lawrence scratched his head, "why don't you wait until you get back, and I'll treat you to a good meal at A Song of Swords and Shields?" ”
"Hahaha," the dwarf laughed, pulling two wine sacs from his backpack, "come on, look what I've gotten with these Serekan cavalry!" ”
Bibo took the sac and took a sip, "Awesome!" "The oat-fermented wine is mixed with some spices, and the taste is really good.
"Uh-huh, it seems that these people still inherit the taste of the kingdom, hahaha!" Lawrence was also full of praise after tasting it, he took out a few wine glasses, suddenly remembered something, and looked at the dwarf in shock, "Wait, shouldn't it be ......?"
"That's right, with your money!" The dwarf grinned and pulled out his big pipe, "And this, the tobacco tastes better here!" ”
"Ah, no!" Lawrence was furious, grabbed the dwarf by the collar, and was about to have a seizure, when the dwarf said, "Hey, in that case, I'll go back to Rust tomorrow......"
"Hey, Master Bruce, you're a little dirty on your clothes," Lawrence smiled dryly and patted the dwarf by the collar, "Come on, come on, drink more, let's have a toast to victory!" ”
Early the next morning, Surenee and Lawrence left the camp and returned to Rust, the Serekon cavalry was ready to go, the returning scouts found the waypoint again, the Gavin knights sent several cavalry, and Bibo and Bruce packed up their equipment and prepared to attack again with Alger.
"I think you'd better change out of that uniform!" Alger looked at Bibo with a short bow and a long sword buckle, this Rust soldier was well-proportioned and had a thick chest, "With a scimitar, it's more convenient!" ”
As the sun rose in the east, the figure of Sureni Laurence had turned into two black dots, and he smiled at Alger and said, "No! ”
