Section 242 Gentle blackmail

(7.17 First Update)

The riot was spreading in all directions, and the non-commissioned officers swimming in pools of blood were still choking.

Carter, who was stranded in place, was at a loss, and there was still a trace of pathos left in the viscous plasma soaked in his clothes. The arrogance of the onlookers was also extinguished in an instant.

"What's going on?"

The non-commissioned officer shook his head and denied the fact that it had been formed, unable to believe that Carter, who was weak in front of him, would have the courage to control beyond the range.

"Hmph, cowardly creature, drag me to the natural pastures on the outskirts of the city and feed the wild dogs!"

Carter regained his mood slightly, pretended to be serious, and gave a resolute order.

After hesitation, the soldier, who was also convinced of the identity of the deputy commander, pulled the corpse of the non-commissioned officer, rubbing a harsh sound on the rough ground.

The one who survived was also so apprehensive that he didn't dare to provoke the leader in front of him anymore, and lay on the ground, praying for forgiveness of his sins.

"Your Excellency Non-commissioned Officer, I am ignorant and provoke your authority, please punish me!"

"Whew, what should I say about you? Am I already amiable? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"

"But you are very arrogant, but this incident, it is a warning, and it can be regarded as a chance to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, tonight's incident is regarded as a dream, understand?"

The cunning Carter is playing tricks to avoid blame for being blamed, that is, to blind the eyes of all witnesses.

"Yes, tonight's blank will be forgotten forever!"

The non-commissioned officer is very sincere, but in fact, he also gives up the handle of balance, and is afraid of strangers.

"Oh no, the siege troops outside the city have begun to invade again!"

The shouts of the communication soldiers also woke me up to the fact that I was immersed in the script, and the array running on the front line had exceeded expectations, what did this war planner want to do.

The corps outside the city is frantically rushing towards the city defense, as if they are pouring out of the nest, no longer stingy, without reservation.

"It's underestimating General Olise's temperament, young master."

Siqi flipped the cooked roast, it was caramelizing, the fat dripping and splattering with even more flames.

"There is no need to deny it, Olise's treachery is tricky. However, exposing the flaws in advance is a big gamble, and he is also an excellent bandit. ”

The screams from the ramparts made Carter panic, perhaps cursing about what had happened to him.

"Your Excellency, Commander, now is the time for you to perform, how can we retreat from the enemy?"

The non-commissioned officer's urging made him even more frightened, and he hurriedly reviewed the nearby resources that could be dispatched, and he was even more confused.

"Your Excellency, the enemy has built an escalator, is it throwing stones to compress the space?"

"Okay, do it right away and fill the gap as soon as possible! You, go to General Vic, and don't wait! ”

Carter reluctantly set up a simple defense system under the reminder of the non-commissioned officer, soothed his steady breath, and lifted his spirits to climb the city wall, looking down on the tragedy of the war.

I don't have a vertical perspective, so I can't see what is going on at the first point of contact, but the follow-up reinforcements seem to be just looking, not moving.

"Huh? Are they going to retreat again? ”

"Probably, it always feels like a conspiracy, but I can't read Olis's mind."

I can only barely affirm the vague concept put forward by Xiao Yi, and in the distance, the attacking corps has withdrawn again.

Si Qi, who was deep in thought, manipulated his skillful skills with his hands as if he were mechanically, very tactfully.

Surrounded by cheers, Carter gained a certain prestige, melting his stiff smiling face in front of the campfire.

"Your Excellency, Commander, it is your might, you are shocked by the momentum of the enemy, and you choose to abscond in fear, you are the so-called savior!"

The non-commissioned officer flattered the inexplicable Carter, and also pretended to be very elegant, cooperating with the role.

"It's all your concerted efforts, I will play the leader and ask for credit for everyone!"

Carter still adhered to the same diplomatic etiquette, fooled his subordinates, and established an inseparable bond.

"Hey, what are you still doing? Tell General Vic the good news and cut off the futile support! ”

The tsundere non-commissioned officer fills in the redundant holes for Carter, ordering the Signal Corps to cut off competitors for resources.

"What's the environment like outside the city?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, these waves of night raids are very strange, it seems that there is some kind of strict system, and after the flirtatation, they retreat, following the way there are no rules."

"Oh, I see, the enemy army is trying to confuse us in repeated defeats, and launch a final attack after we let our guard down, hum, it is simply insulting my intelligence to want to hide from the world!"

The non-commissioned officer also suddenly realized after reminding him, and summed up his words and prepared to praise this god-like commander.

"That's right, they are too clumsy and rampant, how can they ignore the wisdom of the pride of the sky!"

"What you said is a little off, pass the order, you must cheer up tonight to prevent stealing the camp."

"Yes, I will go to preach your thoughts, and this battle will be recorded in the annals of history forever!"

The non-commissioned officer climbed the wall, patrolling and repeating Carter's thoughts, and the soldiers were excited.

"Is it a distraction? How can there be a perfunctory feeling, but the connotation of it, but I can't say it. ”

"Yes, the once dominant, by no means in vain, what is Olis's strategy?"

Xiao Yi and I are both wandering in the mire, unable to find an exit, perhaps the only end in the first place.

Si Qi still continued to be silent, and his cold expression reflected the bleak moonlight.

"Young master, we seem to have overlooked a very important link, that is a very simple problem."

The resurrected Siqi seems to have received the so-called answer, and he also maintains the balance between master and servant, which is just a hint.

I converged my diffuse vision, gradually narrowed my mind, and searched for the so-called truth.

Tonight's several attacks are like tempering a formation, and change is the core of the exercise. In addition, the number of participants is gradually increasing each time, as if they want to hide something between the dazzles. What is it? Weapons? Or something else?

"It's gunpowder!"

The node of stagnant thinking, without hesitation, blurted out.

"Gunpowder?"

"Yes, gunpowder is a forbidden substance, but the institutions of the state are aggressively expanding their resources, and that power should not be underestimated. And the formation that has been evolving is to avoid the gunpowder that has been buried. ”

With the gates open, the battlefield is a moment for the victors to loot, and the rebels of the Black Night Society, who have begun to clear the battlefield, are approaching, almost unavoidable.

"Knock, knock!"

A coherent loud noise, breaking the silence of the night, trembling the earth, implicating the soil, and transmitting fluctuations.

"Oh no, Your Excellency, Commander!"

Lying resting in front of the campfire, Carter was disturbed and looked around in a panic at the catastrophe of natural destruction.

"What? Is it ground moving? ”

"No, yes, yes."

The stammering non-commissioned officer, unable to stabilize his bad mood, has been spitting and spitting.

"What exactly?"

"It's a survey team outside the city, stepping on an ambush, and the whole army is annihilated!"

"What? Where did the ambush come from, a bunch of nonsense, it is disturbing the morale of the army! ”

"The commander made Your Excellency spare his life, it is true, on the city wall, you can see it very clearly!"

Carter left behind his temporary resentment and ran up to the castle tower to look into the distance.

The thick smoke began to obscure the tiny line of sight, and the tumbling yellow sand roared in the emptiness.

"Young Master, your prophecy is quite accurate, it's gunpowder, that kind of dangerous attempt."

Si Qi stuffed the already baked slices of meat into his mouth, and he could still taste them with relish.

"Is that a victory for General Olise?"

"No, for the corps that has suffered repeated defeats, occasional victories can't alleviate the urgent need, tonight is just a contest of momentum, and that may affect the future battles."

"Perhaps, that is, it is not yet decisive?"

"Yes, I have groped for the strength of the Corps, it is indeed very weak, even if it is a head-on conflict, they have no chance of winning, but they can temporarily comfort the anxious heart, wait for the footsteps of the Third Corps, and everything will be reversed."

As the strongest Third Corps in Turan, it has always been in the hands of Olis, just like the Fifth Corps controlled by my father, and that kind of self-confidence is incomparable.

"That means that even if the Black Society can survive, it is still surviving!"

"It's almost as Madame said, but the process is still in the hands of the young master."

Si Qi supplemented Xiao Yi's confusion, and the connotation of it was my ambiguous tilt.

"Is the country of Cologne going to support one of them?"

"No, the country of Coron is neutral. With the support of the warlords, the Black Clothes Society can barely deal with the powerful Olis, besides, Wuluosha City, as a granary, also has enough follow-up resources, as well as the private assistance of Zhujiao State, the only thing missing is military spending to stabilize emotions. ”

"Does Bell want to support the Blackcoats' expenses? But we don't seem to have enough resources. ”

Xiao Yi is thinking about the money we have in our hands, and it seems that there is still a big gap.

"Mrs. Yi is very delicate, but as a businessman who deceives the world and steals his name, the young master is probably ready for the law of blackmail, isn't he?"

Siqi cleaned up the flames that had been extinguished, and all that was left was broken charcoal.

"Blackmail? Than blackmail, it sounds, at least gentle. (To be continued.) )
