Chapter 96: Goals
Sitting on a bench in the Ouroboros camp, looking at Tallegarir who was gobbling up with the other eight Feyton warriors, Friedlier spoke, "Old man, you want to eat back to your old size, not in this meal. ”
"Hey, Taru." After swallowing a bite of roast meat, Tarregalir looked at Friedlier and said, "Seriously, I feel like I'm about to lose the glory of my ancestors, I didn't intend to live." ”
Friedleer smiled and asked, "So what made you stay alive until now?" ”
"It's faith in you." Tare Galil said earnestly.
"Faith in me?" Friedlear thought for a moment and said, "Tell me about it." ”
"Taru, I think you will defeat all the enemies, you will lead us Phetunians to conquer everything, I believe that one day, you will lead us Phettons to attack Lionheart, I think, by that time, as long as I insist on living, then I will definitely be rescued." Tarregalil said.
Friedlier smiled and patted Tallegaril on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, old man, for trusting me, but to be honest, I didn't trust myself so much before, and when I was in the arena, I gave up resistance at the last minute. ”
After swallowing the barbecue, Tare Galil rubbed the corners of his eyes that were a little reddened and continued, "Taru, I think that all this happening must be the ancestors guiding you, and you were rescued from the arena by the people here, which shows that the ancestors don't want you to sail to the Endless Sea with them like this, they must want you to do more." And those things must have been extremely great and glorious. Tharu, you can't give up hope at any time... ”
Looking at Tarregalir, whose eyes were rosy, Friedreel asked, "Old man, what do you think the ancestors want me to do?" What is great and glorious? ”
"Conquest." Tarregalir looked up at Friedlier and said, "As you said, our ancestors left us the blood of conquest. We want to burn our blood, we want it to conquer the Azores. Taru, we're going to put a rope around the neck of their emperor, and we're going to let their emperor pull the boat for us. ”
Friedlier nodded and smiled, "I wanted to do the same, and not long ago, I regained my childhood dream. ”
"Really? Taru.... Your childhood dream.. I remember when you were a kid you loved to talk about conquering the world.." Tarregalil choked up a little excitedly and said, "Tarru, seriously, I'm not young anymore, I don't know how long I'll live, but all along, in my heart, I have always dreamed of following a brave and fearless master, who can ride the wind and waves, conquer the uncharted seas, explore strange lands, and defeat abominable enemies. Tharu, since you took the throne as Tharu on Frosttrail Island a few years ago and grew up rapidly, I think you seem to be the person I have always dreamed of following, and I have always wanted to follow you in my lifetime to conquer lands that even my ancestors had not conquered... Now I hear you talk about this... I'm really..."
Friedlier nodded and smiled, then he patted Tarregaril and said, "Hey, old man, your wish is my dream, and I won't let you down." However, if I want to fulfill such a great dream, and only lead our warriors from Frosttrail Island to fight, is it a bit of a lonely force? ”
Looking at Friedlier's sly eyes, Tarregalil was stunned for a moment and then hesitated and asked, "Taru, do you want to...?" ”
Friedreer smiled and nodded.
"Oh, Taru!" Tarregalil said with a little excitement, "Taru, you should be the king of our Phython, all the Phython warriors who want to conquer other countries, they should obey your orders, and you will be able to lead them to conquer everything." ”
Friedlier glanced at the warriors around Tarregalir and said, "If you want to become king, you must first have the support of half of the islands. As you know, we don't have the strength of Eternal Night Island, so personally, I don't have the support of the other island warriors, nor the other Tarus. ”
"No, Friedriel Taru of Frosttrail Island, I have your side." One of the warriors suddenly spoke, "Although I am from the Isle of Eternal Night, you saved me from the hands of the enemy, and you gave me a new life, and I will follow you in the future." ”
"Friedlir Taru, I am a free man, and I will follow you to the death from now on." Said another fighter.
"Taru, you saved me, as a Thunder Islander, I can't repay it, I can only give your life to you." Another fighter said.
Seeing the warriors expressing their gratitude and support to him, Friedlier smiled and asked them, "Will you embrace me as King of Pheton?" ”
"Yes!" The fighters said in unison.
Friedlier looked at them and said, "If you are willing to follow me and embrace me as king, then from now on you will strictly obey my commands." ”
"Swear to obey." The fighters said to Friedlier.
"Good." Friedlier looked at the warriors and said, "I will lead you to regain the glory we lost." ”
"Taru!"
In the camp, Oeve was distracted by the sudden shouting of the Featon warriors, and she turned to see that Friedlier met her gaze, and the two met their eyes and smiled.
"Talle Galil, I've figured out a lot of things since the last time I was defeated and captured." Friedreel withdrew his gaze from Oive, and he turned to Tarregalir and said.
"Taru, what do you understand?"
"I think the reason why we in Pheton can't take a place on the road is because our islands are too scattered." "We have always been fighting on our own islands, and while we have been able to carry out successful raids on the coast with our light ships, we have seldom been able to penetrate further into the enemy's interior, let alone actually capture the enemy's cities. ”
Tarregalil nodded.
"Although our fighters are very capable of fighting and their ability to fight on a small scale is outstanding, we have to admit that when we faced the enemy's large-scale corps, we were inexperienced and helpless." "Of course, the main responsibility for the defeat in the last battle lies with my poor command. ”
"Taru, although we lost the last battle with the Athollians at the edge of the jungle, it wasn't your poor command. At that time there were ten times as many enemies as we were, and we had only 2,000 men, and they had 20,000 men, and it was almost impossible to win any of them in command of the army. "You don't have to blame yourself for this, Taru. ”
"Thank you for comforting the old fellow, but I will never forget that fight, it was a shame for my life." After a pause, Friedlier continued, "Old man, did you know that the army that defeated us was the ace unit of the King of the West of Azor, and that was a force called the Nightmare Army, and the general who commanded them was a man named Doyim, remember those two names. ”
Tallegaril nodded and said, "I remember, Taru. ”
"Good." Friedlier looked at Tarregaril and said, "At the same time, you remember my oath that I will defeat them in the near future, that I will destroy them all, and that I will let you see for yourself how I made that bastard called Doir into a blood eagle to avenge Tyrel and Eoriel." ”
"Taru, I'm sure you'll be able to do it." Tarregalil gritted his teeth and said, "In order to complete your revenge, you should become the king of our Phydon, so that you can command more troops and lead more people to fight the enemy." ”
Friedlier smiled and said, "Phyton needs a new king, one who can make all the warriors of the islands follow him to the death, a king who can make all Taru absolutely loyal and respectful, and he should lead Phyton on a new journey." ”
Fridlier lagged behind, and the surrounding Pacton warriors nodded approvingly.
Tarregalir asked in a low voice, "Speaking of which, Taru, do you have any plans for the seizure of the throne?" ”
After a moment's thought, Friedreel said, "I wonder if Rickrell took the opportunity to seize the throne after the raid on the Emerald City. If the current king is no longer Tofly but Rickliel, then I'm going to have to think of a whole new plan. ”
Talle Galil looked at Friedreel and said firmly, "Whatever your plan looks like, Taru, I will follow it to the death, even if it requires my sacrifice. ”
"No, I'm not going to let anyone under me die in a power struggle." Friedreer looked around at the few warriors around him and continued, "Even if you are going to die, you will die in a place full of glory. ”
"Taru.." Tarregalil's lips twitched, and he choked for a moment.
Looking at the stumbling Tarregalil, Friedlier reached out and pressed his shoulder and smiled and said, "Old man, you look more sentimental than before, could it be that the people of Athore have told you too many sad stories?" ”
"When are we going back to Phyton?" Tarregalil smiled and said, "Taru, to be honest, I can't wait to see you become king. ”
"Of course I want to get back soon, but we need a boat." "But don't worry, Oiff and the others are now trying to find a way to gather craftsmen to build a longship that can sail long distances." ”
"Are they going to help you build the Pheton ship with Taru?" Tare Galil asked, surprised.
"It's not exactly to help me, they have their own business." "They planned to build a boat that could withstand any wind and waves, and that could sail into any ocean or river." However, I think they don't seem to be very good at shipbuilding, and you and the warriors may be able to give them some necessary help for the rest of the day. ”
"I will, Taru. But if you want to build a ship that can go to any ocean, it's best to build it out of dragon perch. "If you want to be guided by your ancestors on the voyage, you'd better have a glowstone lamp." ”
"They all have it." Friedleer laughed and said, "Although they don't know how to build ships and don't believe in their ancestors, they have both things. ”
Tare Galil was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Taru, how can they have these things, who are they?" ”
"This, it's complicated." Friedlier thought for a moment and said, "I don't explain it well, but they're my friends. ”
"Taru, I didn't know you had any friends with Garland." Tarregalil turned his head to look at Bruulis not far away.
"Only one of them is a Garlander." "They are not a state force, they are a covert organization. ”
"Organization? Taru, how did you know them, and were they friends with old Taru? Tarregalil asked.
"Old man, why would you suddenly ask that?" Friedlier asked curiously, "Have you ever seen my father make such friends before?" ”
"Yes, Taru." Talle Galil thought for a moment and said, "You were too young to go to sea. I've been to places with your father, and he says they're all his friends, and as you said, his friends are also a secret organization. ”
Friedlier was a little surprised, and he immediately asked, "Old man, did he say what the name of that organization was?" ”
Tallegaril shook his head, "Old Tharu didn't say the name of that organization. ”
"And what kind of people are his friends?" Friedlier asked.
"The men were wearing burqas with pointed hoods, and as for their appearances, I had not seen them. But their guards, I remember very well, they were very similar to those people. Tarregalil turned to look at a few Ouroboros camp guards in the distance.
Friedlier looked at the camp guards in snake scale armor and thought for a moment, then continued to ask, "Do you know what Father was doing with them at the time?" ”
Tare Galil spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry Taru, I don't know about this, after all, I was just a guard at the time. ”
"Hmm." Friedlear continued, "Tell me, where did you go with him to meet those people?" ”
Tarregalil thought for a moment and said, "It's on the coast of Skyfall near Randy. ”
Friedlier nodded thoughtfully, then whispered, "It seems that there are many things that my father has been hiding from me. ”
"Taru, maybe a lot of things are not what old Taru wants to hide from you." "You've been so focused on practicing your fighting skills since you were a kid, and you know that most of your mind is on hunting and fighting. ”
While Friedlier was talking to Tarregalil, Oiff approached him and said to him in Randy, "Friedreel, you're not going to leak our information to your men, are you?" ”
"Of course not, I'll keep our organization's secrets." Friedlier also said to O'Eve, in Randy, "After all, I'm one of you, even though the president hasn't approved me yet." ”
Oeve smiled and said, "Maybe the president's approval will arrive before we build the ship." ”
"Well, Miss O'Eve, I would like to ask how you plan to build a ship for the long voyage?" Friedlier asked.
"Bloris has found more than a dozen excellent shipbuilders from Garland through the rebels, and I plan to start tomorrow and transport the dragon's perch that has been hoarded here to the other side of the river in horse-drawn carts." "There's a hidden dock across the river, where Garland's craftsmen will build it after the style of your Pheton ship," said Oive. ”
"Well, let these of my soldiers go there to help, I don't want to see Garland craftsmen build ships out of place." "Also, from today onwards, let all the men who are ready to follow you come to me, and I will train them." ”
"Train them?" Oeve asked.
"Yes." "A good ship needs to be handled by a skilled sailor in order to play to its value and strengths." ”
"Okay, I'll tell them." Oiff paused and turned to Friedreer and asked, "Once the ship is built, where do you plan to make your first stop?" ”
"Phacton, of course." "People are talking about the rising waters, and I'm going to go back to Featon and see what I'm going to do next," Friedreer said. ”
Oeve nodded slightly hesitantly.
"Miss O'Eve, look at you, are you worried about something?" Friedlier said.
Oeve looked at Friedlier and said after a moment's hesitation, "I'm a little worried, I'm worried that we'll part ways later because of different goals. ”
"No, it won't." Friedlier looked at Oeve with a gloomy expression and said, "Trust me, Oif, I'll help you find the place where the seven stars revolve and even the Philosopher's Stone." There is no contradiction that my journey can also be yours. Perhaps the place where the Azor people chose to build the tower was the place where the seven stars revolved? ”
Oeve was stunned for a moment, and after a moment's thought, she asked, "Why do you think so?" Did you get any new clues? ”
"No, I'm just talking about it." Friedlier smiled and said, "But that's probably not it?" ”
Oeve nodded in thought.
