Chapter 530: Deserter
"Whew...... Finally came back alive. ”
Feike looked at the outline of Boulunck Manor from a distance and sighed, in two days, more than a dozen brothers died, and he was still alive, these two days seemed to be as long as twenty years.
"yes, it's finally back......"
Yun Ying, who had been immersed in her own world all the way, looked at the front with complicated eyes, and she suddenly tried her best to convince herself that Yin Feng was still locked up in that painting...... She was already a little confused about reality and delusion.
"Let's go."
Thomas frowned and glanced at Cloud Shadow, still taking the lead, speeding towards Bolunc Manor, he suddenly didn't want to face the seemingly calm Cloud Shadow.
"Miss Cloud Shadow ......"
After walking for such a long time, Ji Lie on the side seemed to notice the change in the cloud shadow, but he could only hide his deep worries in his heart because he didn't know anything.
"Whew...... Let's go. ”
As if aware of Ji Lie's concern, Yun Ying tilted her head and barely showed an ugly smile, and then walked away with firm steps - one day, she vowed to exterminate the goblins!
When the tired people entered the villa of Bolunck Manor, they found that the light in the hall on the first floor was actually on, and as they stood still, there was a sound of footsteps from far and near in the room, and then - the door of the villa suddenly opened, and a familiar fat man appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the orange light behind him made the guys standing at the gate almost cry - this damn weakness! This damn Flaming!
"Ladies and gentlemen......"
Looking around at the tired eyes in front of him, Flaming, who opened the door wide, didn't know what to say for a while. He knew it was going to be a terrible operation, but he was lucky - unfortunately, the gods of Kira didn't hear his prayers.
“…… Come in first. ”
Hesitated for a while, relatively silent, Flanming could only squeeze out these words dryly, and with his movements, Thomas nodded almost invisibly, and then led everyone into the warm villa.
"How's it going over here?"
It seemed that the comfortable temperature had done its job, and the minds of everyone present began to return to normal, and Thomas began to ask questions as he followed Flaming to the side hall.
"I've got everyone in Salt Lake City to get moving. Strong men form three patrols. The boundaries of Boulunck Manor are patrolled every day, but nothing unusual has been found yet, and women and old people are working hard to make cheese if the war expands. Easily storable food is indispensable. As for the older kids. I'm asking them to move their stuff into the cellar, if anything—a little bit of it can be preserved. ”
Franming has a clear mind, and he has not been idle during this time to prove himself.
"Good."
When Thomas said these two words with satisfaction. Everyone had already walked to the side hall, where Mu Ran's housekeeper had already brewed fragrant milk tea for everyone, which was a fantastic choice for the hungry and tired Yunying and his party.
"Let's drink something to replenish our strength."
Thomas continued to speak, and everyone sat down as he was told, and before they knew it, the man was already a well-deserved commander-in-chief.
"Captain......
Just as Cloud Shadow had just taken a sip of hot tea, he suddenly heard a wheezing sound from the side, and turned his head to see - it was the Rogge personal guard who had been dissatisfied with him since he first met the druids - it turned out that he was the only one alive under Thomas, Cloud Shadow thought indifferently as he picked up his cup and drank tea.
"Heh, you're back early."
Thomas didn't care about the clouds, he put down the teacup in his hand and turned around, his hands crossed in front of his chest, and he didn't know what he was planning with a calm expression.
"Captain...... I—I have important news and want to run back to report it to you......"
The surviving pro-guard explained with a pale face, without the slightest arrogance in front of Cloud Shadow.
"Oh? What's the news? ”
Thomas touched his chin, still unmoved.
"Uh, yes, that's-"
As soon as Thomas was willing to listen to his explanation, the guard, whose pronunciation trembled, immediately seized on this glimmer of hope: "When we ambushed those goblins, we heard them say that this time it seems that they have taken something from the orc shaman, which is very important!" ”
“…… And then what? ”
Thomas raised an eyebrow, looking a little interested.
"And then, oh, they say that it can give birth to the power of blood, that it will make orcs collectively bestial, and it will drive humans crazy, yes, yes, it's crazy!"
The poor fellow finally felt like he had caught the point, and he looked at Thomas with a little relief—he had done a great job with the news.
“…… Without? ”
Thomas tilted his head in contemplation for a few seconds, then looked at the relieved guy again.
"Uh, no, no......"
After all, the pro-guard was the one who had been with Thomas for a long time, and the latter's light tone suddenly made him creepy.
"None? Very well, so let me tell you-"
Thomas leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling and said slowly: "The people I brought out by His Majesty Rogge's orders this time have been with me for many years, and although you are not very good, I have always thought that this is not a big problem - as long as you are loyal." ”
"Captain, I—I'm absolutely loyal to His Majesty Rogge and you."
The guard suddenly shouted loudly, as if to prove something, but Thomas did not change his posture, he still said to himself: "But I am wrong, your selfish nature has allowed you to save your life by using your companion as a meat shield - I never knew that there would be deserters under my men!" ”
"No—"
Thomas's tone grew harsh, and he interrupted the defense of the man across from him and continued, "Do you think I'm a fool? Not to mention that you are the only one alive in a team of centaurs, you still have a ruddy complexion and clean clothes and shoes. ”
"This ...... It was an early return for me and I had a good rest......"
The man's lips trembled a little, and he kept wiping the cold sweat on his head, and his pretense of composure was long gone.
"Came back early? Yes, you were already on your way back when my brothers died! ”
Thomas slammed the teacup in his hand on the table, and stood up with a look of anger on his face: "You're a bastard!" My men can die in battle, but they can't run away! ”
"Captain—"
Finally, Thomas broke through the last line of defense of the man's psyche, and the latter fell to his knees with a puff: "Captain, I'm not human, but I didn't mean to be left behind, I was stunned by something, and when I woke up, my brothers were crawling with disgusting bugs!" And the remaining goblins have run away, and I—I think someone should come and say ...... to the captain" (to be continued......
