Chapter 460: The Promise
"What's that person's name?" Hathaway asked.
"Capein. Link, a knight of the Golden Second Ring. "Fast . Robert replied.
Hathaway pondered for a long time before she said, "Don't care about that guardian for now, watch his words and deeds, whether he is really merciful or ill-intentioned, time will tell." Fast, Locke. How's it going over there? How long can it last? ”
"Two weeks ago, Lord Hughes had just provided food once, and now the most lacking thing is weapons, and during this time there were frequent battles and relatively strict attrition. Several other Resistance armies are in a worse situation and have sent people to fight Locke. Wood contacted you and hoped to get in touch with him, and I am sure that in less than three days, they will be eager to find you. ”
Fast. Robert is still quite confident, and the several resistance armies operating in the north of Casif are almost the same in size and strength, but under his deliberate guidance, the main targets of the underground coalition are locked on the other resistances, and they have suffered the greatest blows. Wood asks for help.
"Very well, let Locke. Wood gathered his troops as much as he could, and the city defense forces would soon launch a military operation to retake the north of Carsef. Hathaway got to the bottom of it.
Grand Duke Kasef has been operating in the province of Kasef for many years, and if it is not deep-rooted, it can be called a flourishing branch, and he still has a certain reputation among the people. Hathaway can be regarded as using the underground alliance to first sort out the nobles in the north of Caself, and then take advantage of the inaction of the Grand Duke of Casserf to win over the people...... Especially those of the Resistance. They are the backbone of the surviving inhabitants of the North, and as long as they can be subdued, it will be very easy to pacify the north of Casif in the future. And since there is a natural church to take action, her actions on her side must be accelerated accordingly, otherwise it will really be a wedding dress for them.
"Your Excellency, Locke. Wood wants to thank you personally. "Fast . Robert said.
"Okay, let's let him do it." Hathaway said with a faint smile.
She made her way to the Gettysburg fortress on the pretext of patrolling, and some of the fighting troops had already arrived at the fortress in advance, and the other part had already crossed the Hengduan Mountains. You can attack at any time. Meet the Resistance leaders at this time. It's also a morale boost.
Locke. Routinely Roller came to the Gettysburg Fortress with mixed feelings, experienced the war in the northern region of Casev, and as soon as he came here, he felt the prosperity and tranquility that he had not seen for a long time. He had also been to Gettysburg before the war. After some comparisons. He had to admit it. In the hands of the Lord of the Cordillera, the fortress was more prosperous than it was in the past.
Look at the well-armed and well-trained army on the city walls, Locke. Wood's heart was even darker...... Although I have already done my best. But the elite soldiers were not trained in a day, and despite the material support from the Cordillera Territory, the Resistance was inevitably heading for collapse. Food, weapons...... Perhaps these are the reasons why the Resistance is in trouble, but the biggest problem is the incompetence of its own command, which led to today's predicament. Robert assisted, perhaps the Resistance was already doomed.
The charm of the Cordillera collar is undeniable, and it is not at all recognizable that just over two months ago, this place was also suffering from war. In just two months, the area has become orderly, the fields are full of crops, and the mine is constantly transporting ore...... It is like a magnet to attract the refugees from the north of Cassef to this place, although food and other daily necessities are not very abundant, but compared to the disposal of Vermont City, the Lord of the Cordillera is obviously more attentive, she not only provides living materials, but also provides jobs, so that the refugees will not fall because of suffering, which is no less than heaven compared to the dire north of Caself.
This time to Gettysburg Fortress, Locke. Wood was also helpless. Although the problem of food has been solved, the consumption of weapons is too great, and the encirclement and suppression from the underground coalition forces have made the living environment of the resistance army more and more bad, and the situation of the soldiers has become a little unstable, and the replenishment of soldiers is also a big problem. Because the survivors of the fall of Europe were more inclined to flee to the Cordillera territory, if it weren't for the fact that he had some kitchens among the miners, it would have been difficult for him to stabilize the resistance fighters on his own.
Locke. Wood knew that his previous efforts might be wasted on this trip, and fate had no choice but to arrange it for him. In comparison, the Marquis of Cordillera is more reliable than His Royal Highness the Grand Duke who sits in Vermont City. In this case, he preferred to entrust the future of himself and his brothers to this marquis.
Come to think of it, Locke. Wood couldn't help but be curious about the Cordillera Lord he was about to meet.
As far as he knew, it was said that the Marquis, almost like himself, had come to the Cordillera Territory with his bare hands, but he was able to bring the Cordillera to a radical change in less than a year, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as changing with each passing day.
The Marquis is said to have had no good relations with the Grand Duke of Caself, and is quite cold to the Church of Nature, and seems to be a rather rebellious character, and what a pleasant thing it would be to be able to treat the miners as rumored!
Locke. Wood guessed somewhat fanciously who would meet the Lord of the Cordillera.
He had never met anyone with such quick thinking, and he was shocked too much.
From his background as a miner to the plight of the Resistance today, from the psychological activities of the survivors to the future prospects of the Fallen Zone, from the possible countermeasures of the Grand Duke of Cassef to the Cordillera Leader's plans for post-war reconstruction, the other side regarded himself as a close friend. Wood had almost forgotten the identity of the other party's aristocratic magician, and reason told him that he could not trust anyone, even if the other party could speak with a lotus.
Hathaway was also full of respect for this generous warrior. Perhaps to most nobles, the miner-turned-samurai behaved like a hillbilly and spoke with a vulgar speech. But in her opinion. This Locke in front of you. Lord Wood possesses all the virtues of a samurai, which is more remarkable than his martial arts. Moreover, this samurai can gather a group of people to defend his hometown in danger, which is enough to prove that the character of the other party is beyond doubt, which makes Hathaway feel a little more sympathetic to this person.
The tea on the table is a treasure from the fairy garden, and the faint fragrance lingers in front of the two, which seems to symbolize the current feeling of the two. Wood was a little unwell. The delicate-faced Marquis in front of him seemed to be waiting for him to speak.
"Lord Marquis. I personally have deep admiration for what you have done in the Cordillera and that the Cordillera has been able to prosper today. It can only be described as a miracle. Since the beginning of the war, the Cordillera City Defenses have won every battle under your leadership, thanks to your generosity. Give us the opportunity to protect our homeland. And fight bravely against the aliens. All of our Resistance are willing to pledge allegiance to your lordship. The 150,000 people in the occupied area are also willing to become loyal subjects of the lord, so please let the people in the occupied area not feel the mercy of the marquis. ”
Locke. It was hard for Wood to guess what the young lord had in mind, and it seemed that his loss of sincerity had not been approved of by the lord. She seemed to be worried about something, was it the threat and pressure from Vermont, or something else?
After all, when the army enters the occupied area, it is bound to fight one or even several battles with the underground coalition army, could it be that the lord feels that the price paid is too high?
Locke. Before Wood arrived, he had been pondering the lord's style on the road, shrewd and resolute, and it was difficult for people to grasp the handle, which was very inappropriate for her age, but only in this way could the Cordillera rise in the wilderness and rise to the shores of the blue sea.
"Mr. Wood, I'm sure you must have taken the trouble to get to know me as a person before you came to see me. I will try my best to keep my compatriots out of danger, but I can't give you more promises, I think you should understand what I mean. ”
Hathaway's skillful rhetoric made Locke. Wood once again comprehended the other party's shrewdness, and did not point out anything, but the attitude revealed between the words was undoubtedly productive, and then carefully recalled, the other party's words were as if he had nothing to himself, although this little trick is difficult to explain anything, but Locke. Wood was still satisfied, at least as he understood, that he had a great prejudice against the Church of Nature and Archduke Caself, which was a good sign.
Seeing the other party nodding in understanding, Hathaway smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Wood, I appreciate what you have done, you should win the respect that the world deserves, and you are more in line with the standards of knights than some pretentious nobles who sell dog meat on sheep's heads." I do not want to hide anything, and although I have many unfortunate grievances, I would like to express my kindness and welcome you and your companions to our cordillera collar.
Locke. Wood's eyes lit up, the other party finally mentioned the most substantive problem this time, although the lord only said that he and his companions were welcome, but this was enough, if he could really get the recognition and support of the other party, then he could be regarded as worthy of the brothers.
"Can I interpret this remark of the Marquis as an encouragement to our resistance?" Locke. Wood's eyes lit up as he fixed on Hathaway.
Laughing lightly, Hathaway sighed in her heart, it seems that Locke. Wood had experienced too many frustrations, and he had to ask questions about his unmistakable statement, which made Hathaway not know how to answer the other party for a while.
With a soft sigh, Hathaway considered her words for a moment before she said slowly: "Mr. Wood, you can understand it this way, as a lord, I have never been willing to give up even a little bit of effort to make people's lives more happy and peaceful, this is my responsibility, but I also need help from all sides. Including everyone, do you understand what I said? ”
Locke. Wood's mind turned a thousand times, he seemed to understand the meaning of the other party's words, but he was a little unsure of the implicit direction of Hathaway's vague words, this lord's mastery of language can be said to be perfect, there is always a taste of unfinished business, let you explore her own thoughts.
"My lord, I don't think I need to say anything else. The question of the survival of the Resistance Army is already imminent and cannot be delayed any longer. As far as I know, the shape of the occupied area is now quite grim. I hereby implore the lord to move in as soon as possible, and my friends and I are willing to contribute to your decision. ”
Once he made up his mind, Locke. Wood's heart was much more relaxed, no matter what the lord's idea was, but at least she was able to give hundreds of thousands of people back to life in the already desperate Fallen Zone, and that alone was enough to promise her any conditions, and the other party had a good reputation for hosting hundreds of thousands of Alpine refugees before that.
Maybe the other party is taking advantage of this weakness of his own, but Locke. Wood didn't care, he never founded the Resistance for personal or small group gains, and if he had selfish desires, he would not have such prestige in the Resistance, and it was this persistent pursuit that allowed him to hold on to the Resistance to this day.
Hathaway stood up and made a standard respectful mage salute to him from the bottom of her heart, and said solemnly: "Mr. Wood, I am sorry for my selfishness, please understand my identity concerns, but for the sake of a better tomorrow for the people of Cordillera and the Occupied Zone, I really need your help, but I am here to promise that you can find the paradise you want here, and you can realize your dreams here, I promise!" ”
I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********
