Chapter Thirty-Four: Sickness Comes Like a Mountain
He hurriedly pulled out a blank piece of paper from the table—yes, the same kind of wrapping paper that Cierta had exported.
The quill drew one trail after another on the paper, and cold sweat ran across his face like an ink-soaked nib......
Why do Otherworldly coins with strange wide petals use copper clad in steel? This strange question collides with another question -- it doesn't matter if it doesn't collide, but it leads to a common answer between the two.
The Church of the Two Moons is using a means of war to force Elta back into the Church of the Two Moons of global trade. Offy Mondridge tapped his finger on the head to dispel the lingering uneasiness. That's absolutely true, he is the commander of this armed operation.
Since it is an act of force, it is a demand for victory - but the attitude expressed by the otherworldly people seems to prefer to sit down and do business, so that is.
The benefits of trade are much greater than those of war.
Probably much bigger. Offy Mondrich stroked back and changed the wording. He has also earned a huge amount of wealth during this time, but this may not be comparable to the benefits earned from the other world behind the portal.
Every day of postponement is even worse for Elta, and even worse for the Bimonthly Church!
He jerked to his feet. Ordering now that the troops that have retreated to the rear to quell the rebellion stop all compromises and eliminate the "Elta Volunteers"? Or use the known information of the enemy's attack, lay down a thunder array and a magic array, eat most of the Cierta army, and then use the frontline troops to drag the remnants of the Elta army while holding the magic spear team directly to the shield city and Mendong City?
Hot blood rushed into the young man's brain, and all sorts of electrical currents stirred between the neurons.
Dejected, he sat back in his chair as if he had been drained of his soul. Yes, what if you know? Will stopping the transfer of Chinese goods solve the problem? Not to mention the pressure from within the Bilunar Church and the Outer Islands of Lancas, the reproaches of the merchants of various countries were enough for him to flee......
When he opened his eyelids, Ofemundridge saw the room lit with pink lamps and Elena's retracted hand. Oh, and the thin blanket that covers yourself.
"Looks like I'm asleep." He lifted the blanket with one hand, "What time is it?" ”
"Just after seven o'clock...... Dinner is ready, darling wants to eat dinner first or sleep a little more? ”
Offe Mondridge held his arms over his head. The feeling of powerlessness that had been in the brain in the afternoon is now transmitted throughout the body. Well...... Wrong. There was an unusual heat on his forehead.
"You touch my head, something is not quite right."
Alena frowned slightly, and with a light touch on the back of her hand, she came to a conclusion.
"Hey...... You've got a fever! Alena flicked the side back with her hand, and then pulled up Eufe Mondridge, "You go lie down first, and I'll make you soup." ”
In the midst of the war, the Warden, who was not a commander but was nominally bigger than the commander, fell ill - this has to be said to be a bad omen. However, Eufe Mondridge's instructions had already been sent out according to the time before this, and the news of his illness would reach Garcia in three days at the earliest, and all parts of the front line in five days - in fact, this matter would not have much impact on the situation of the war.
"Anyway, there are many people in the army who curse me, a demon, to die early. This time they got their wish. "Offe Mondrich lay on the bed, holding Elena's hand sitting on the edge of the bed and joking." When was the last time I had a fever? I can't remember......
"My dear, please don't make such jokes...... Without you, would this army have been able to gain a foothold in Elta to this day? Don't say stupid things. Elena didn't feel anything about the joke, so she reached out her other hand and touched Offy Mondridge's unshaven face.
"Ahh
"Damn Elta rainy season. Lao Tzu can't be a cold, right? "On the edge of the fire in the middle of the robe of a slippery man, which was very incompatible with the dirty and messy environment of the hut, a long-bearded magician cursed." Ouffy Mondridge, a little hairy ghost who is confused, why didn't anyone come to correct him? ”
It really made Ofy Mondridge right. Every day, at least a hundred magicians from all corners of the island invite him to hell with fancy curses, and the whole family will explode...... He had reached the point where he wanted to surf in his coffin, to invite the most famous rapper of Lancas to celebrate him at his funeral, to invite the Dust Dancers of Lancas's West Town to his grave - one was not enough, it had to be a flock, and then the warblers danced every day......
As for the director who cursed them from thousands of mountains and rivers to be hit by a car or have a cold and fever, they didn't have the ability to do so. The ability to completely manipulate things with words is nothing more than a few words stuck in the pages of legends - something that even the two wonders of the world cannot do.
"I heard it was—" Another younger magician pointed to the top of his head. "Those guys have made it clear that they want to keep him, otherwise this guy would have been deposed a long time ago."
"Phew." A mouthful of spit flew into the heart of the flames. The strange smell spread in an instant—but it couldn't compare to the musty smell of the robes. "What's the use of protecting him? Tens of thousands of troops were buried on the front line in vain, and Eltamao didn't see a single one, so why didn't he be replaced? ”
That being said, shouldn't Rucha, who is directly in command, be responsible? In the final analysis, it is the personal likes and dislikes that affect their perception. In the final analysis, Ofemundridge, who was still a magician, not only could not let them be pampered in the rear, but also had to brave the rain to go to the front.
"I don't know what the people above are thinking, so let this little hairy boy ride on our heads and act recklessly?"
"You didn't see the canisters that were sent to our army?" A strong man played with the silver Elta coin in his hand angrily, "Eufe Mondridge has abandoned us magicians, and his army will not need magicians in the future!" Shall we throw away those jars full of magic powder that explode when you twist the handle and throw it out? ”
“…… Maybe when we go to the front in a daze, the order for us to attack Cierta will follow. It's a shame that we ran away, otherwise who knows how much trouble it will be next! ”
That's right, the eight magicians in front of him are the deserters who slipped out of the troops transferred to the front line by the Western Expeditionary Army. Although they hadn't planned to use the rain curtain as a cover to flee somewhere, they had already made up their minds to escape from the front line completely.
Once you make up your mind to do it, it's easy to do. In the broken muddy road, they easily turned out of the marching column.
And in a hurry to get to the front line to replace the friendly troops, they simply did not have time to check step by step on the road, and then search for the remnants. Such desertions continued throughout the march, and what was the use of such a gendarmerie system, and the magician troops of the Western Expeditionary Army, which had not yet established a strict gendarmerie system, were powerless to stop even when the officers made it clear that they wanted to flee - the seniority of the other side was superior to that of the blockers? If it weren't for the fact that the magician still has the skin of status to maintain military discipline, this would really be to discredit the face of the righteous division of the church......
"Well, a night march? Come and see—it's been a day and night, should we find a way to kill him?" ”
Only a black and white screen with a line of white lines is moving along the mountain road. On the other side of the screen, the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft glimpsed a rare summer night when the rain has stopped, and the team holding torches is particularly conspicuous in the starry sky that has just fallen into the night.
"The text message said that it was clear, so let's not attack the person he replaced." The officer, who had been looking at the other screen, hurriedly walked over and glanced at the real-time image of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. "Soldiers, treacherous. Therefore, it can be shown but cannot be used, and it is not used to show it. Since we can see at a glance that he is trying to make us gnaw hard bones, then we are not going to buy his account. ”
On the large whiteboard with a map hanging on the wall behind the officer, someone moved the small yellow magnet symbolizing the march of the Western Expeditionary Army to the west.
"Then it's still an air raid?" The operator of the unmanned reconnaissance plane sat back in his position and moved his aching joints.
"Whether it is a polic-level unit or a field-level unit, it is still not ready." The staff officer began to sell the details he had heard at the meeting. "The armed police mobile division has entered combat readiness, but it is not in our direction. Now Cierta is stable, but some people in the south have itchy butts that someone has to scratch them! So who else can you use? So, you get the idea, right? ”
The pilot sitting in the middle of the base smiled evilly for a long time. "Skinny Monkey, you're not leaking military secrets, are you?"
"You're all here, and you're talking to me about military secrets. You can't pretend not to see the aerial photos of the stronghold on the eastern line of Elta on the back wall, right? There are a few of them that you photographed. Let's put it this way, the specific plan hasn't come out yet, and it's a hammer secret. I still don't know if it's the Navy, the Army, or the Air Force—"
The staff officer said that the epaulettes moved slightly, and it could be seen that he was shrugging his shoulders in a helpless manner.
"What if it's really leaked? You don't know Elta. Those dogs are a hundred times harder to learn than English. Have you forgotten that you and I were the worst in the compound? Dr. Wei, that non-military official, can do this Ling Ling Qi errand, and I can't tell you that I want to use a plane to blow up even if I leak the secret. ”
Dare to love these two used to be the same compound. It is no wonder that the staff officer was not lightly deserved by the pilot's diaphragm. I don't know if I think they're separated.
"Alright, Skinny Monkey Brother, don't teach me to be happy. Look at it, what time is it? Hurry up and take advantage of your handover to get a seat, lest there will be no place in the store later. ”
"Okay, I'm busy. Mobile phone contact later. ”
Just like this pair of living treasures, in the face of the front-line troops of the Western Expeditionary Army, who are constantly losing troops but still doubling their combat effectiveness, almost no one from top to bottom feels the pressure transmitted to their shoulders......
