Chapter XVII: War is about to begin
The long Luo River has gone through thousands of years, but it still flows tenaciously on the mainland, feeding thousands of living beings. As the primate of all things, human beings www.biquge.info always give back to the mother river of the southwest continent in their own way.
The brutal war that broke out here last year is now completely invisible. I don't know if it's because of the watering of blood or the power of nature, the grass and trees on both sides of the Luo River are very lush this year. This caused some trouble for Allen's army to set up camp, but it was only a bit of trouble.
The tall figure of Fort Como has faintly appeared in the sky. Alan knew that it was only three or four days away from here to Fort Como. But he ordered the advance to be halted and camped on the spot.
Maybe for the junior soldiers, they will be confused about Allen's orders, but for the generals around Allen, they all know it.
"How? Have you sent all the news?" Alan found a shoal on the edge of the Luo River, held a fishing rod in his hand, and began to fish in a pretended manner.
LeBlan, who was next to her, carefully stood on top of a rock, trying not to let the river hit the hem of her skirt.
"I've made arrangements, and they'll soon know that you've crossed the Lo River, and you'll be under Fort Como in a few days."
"Hmm. You have to keep a record of all the rebels, including their family members, their relatives and friends, and all those with whom they have money to do with it. ”
"Why are you going against the nobility? Wouldn't it be more advantageous to befriend the nobles?" LeBlanc looked at Alan's back, hesitated and finally asked.
In fact, it's not just her, many people are puzzled why Alan has to work thanklessly against the aristocracy. Ouranos was originally a big nobleman, and it was also a family with high prestige in the circle of nobility. Originally, not too many people were willing to go against Allen. But Alan walked step by step to the opposite side of the aristocracy, as if he did it on purpose.
"I did mean it." Alan didn't look back, but his tone was full of emotion. "It's like this Luo River. The trend of the world is vast, and those who go along with it prosper and perish. Perhaps for the past thousand years, the aristocracy represented orthodoxy. But now they have long been corrupted and degenerate, they only know arrogance and luxury, and they only know how to fight for power and profit. Such a person is not qualified to occupy this vast continent!"
The fishing rod in his hand trembled slightly, Alan showed a smile, and with a flick of his wrist, a fat carp leaped out. Scattered water droplets refracted sparkling points of light in the air. Alan was quick with his left hand, and with a copy of his left hand, he encircled the carp into his arms.
"************, lead countless heroes to bend their waists!"
"Then why do you think you're just following the trend? What if you're wrong?" LeBlanc asked stubbornly.
Alan asked with a smile after putting the fish into the fish basket that was set aside. "Then why are you following me?"
"I'm just thinking about waiting for the day you fail, and taunting you! You megalomaniac!" LeBlanc said angrily.
Alan nodded, smiled at LeBlanc, and said, "Then you have to wait well, maybe for a lifetime."
"Lord Duke, Count Minsk asks to see you." The attendant behind him stepped forward and reported.
Alan was slightly stunned, and then suddenly said, "Let him come over."
Hearing this, LeBlanc glared at Allen, and then disappeared with a flick of the staff in his hand.
After a while, Adrien slowly walked up to Alan step by step, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Lord Duke, Adrien Lyon salutes you."
Alan waved his hand casually and said, "Get up, dear Earl." I don't know what you're looking for me?"
Adrien paused, looking up slightly. What appeared in front of him was a young man who had already faded from his youth. At this moment, Allen, who was standing on the river beach, was not wearing armor, but was dressed in simple civilian clothes. The trouser legs and sleeves were rolled up, and the clothes on his body were stained with many water stains. It's like an ordinary fisherman.
Adrien was a little confused. This was the first time he had met Alan, and he had no idea that Eren would look so ordinary.
He had heard of Alan's name a long time ago, especially when his father, Baron de Lyon, returned from several wars, and the evaluation of Eren had long been endless. What is extraordinary, brave and brave, what is unparalleled in resourcefulness, and the command is determined. Therefore, in Adrian's heart, there is actually a little germ of worship for Alan.
But when Baron Lyon died on the battlefield and was later seized by Allen, Allen's image in Adrien's mind had become that of a self-righteous and insatiable tyrant.
Adrien hated Allen, especially after his conversion from worship. But under the orders of his mother, Madame de Lyon, he had to commit himself to the rule of Allen in order to preserve the family, and Adrien was ready to face a greedy and tyrannical monarch.
Now seeing such an ordinary Allen, it is not surprising that the strong contrast makes Adrien stunned.
"What's wrong?"
Adrien was excited, and immediately reacted, and said, "Lord Duke, I have important news to report to you."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Is it about Baron Chris? According to information from my family, His Excellency Baron Chris is in close proximity to President Griffin of the Kunk Chamber of Commerce, and there are rumors of a large-scale arms trade between them. Please also pay attention to the Duke. ”
Alan glanced at Adrien. Beneath the pale blonde hair is a delicate face. And this young boy has already put on heavy armor. The intertwined scars on the armor prove that the armor was inherited from the hands of the Baron de Lyon. Seeing this armor, Alan suddenly remembered the Baron de Lyon, who did not have a strong sense of existence.
Although Alan doesn't have much affection for the aristocratic group. But thinking of Baron Lyon, who diligently fights for his life and death, he does not make small moves, like an old scalper. And he has more family inheritance after he died in the line of duty, even if Allen is as cheeky as him, he can't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Therefore, the words that I wanted to say also dissipated in my stomach.
"Come, take off your armor."
Adrien's expression froze, and a chill spread throughout his body, and finally he stayed in a humiliating place for a moment before dissipating. Could it be that this tyrant is still a disgusting ****?
"Help me get the basket and see how many fish I can catch today."
Hearing this, Adrien was relieved. (To be continued.) )
