Chapter XXIV
Ondo Frontinus walked into the drawing-room, covered in blood, with a warm smile and a relaxed expression as if he had just returned from victory.
Strictly speaking, he looked very embarrassed, his hair mixed with mud, half of his cheeks were stained with blood and black from the smoke and fire, the original ornate retro armor on his chest had lost its original effect, and the scarred knife and axe lines like a mouth made one wonder if he himself had been chopped up and put back together. Fortunately, his cross sword was still firmly held in his hand, but the magic crystal inlaid on it was missing, revealing a few deep grooves, and there were still a few gray remnants of powder in it.
Looking at the dazzling golden sunlight that pierced the hall, he loudly announced, "The war is over. ”
In normal times, this sentence is indeed a joy and can ignite all the atmosphere in the room, and attract countless warm applause, but today is different, because there is only one audience in this hall.
Ka Sabrandomon turned around slowly, his eyes were flat and calm, his appearance was average, no one would pay more attention to this ordinary person's appearance if he threw it into any crowd, and even looked a little simple, dressed very casually, always with a kind smile on his face, if there was anything special, it could only be said that this person's body proportions were very perfect, perfect to the point that all men would be jealous, fortunately his bloated clothes well concealed this.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the most dazzling terrace, looking back and smiling, "What is the result?"
Ondor laughed, puffed out his chest, and said proudly, "Of course he lost!" but he looked like he had won a perfect war.
If anyone from the Holy See were standing here, they would definitely think that this seventh-order paladin captain who had a great future and was once trusted by the Pope had gone crazy.
Ka nodded slowly, staring at each other with both eyes, and said with a smile, "How many levels have you been demoted?"
Onduo read it word by word, and said, "There is no way to descend!"
The smile in Ka's eyes grew even more, and he sighed, "Great. Then he asked, "What about the Paladins?"
Onduo shook his upper body slightly, showing his extremely proud heart, and said in an accentuated tone: "The whole army is annihilated!"
Ka didn't need to ask any more questions, he knew exactly how the war would end, the present, and the future.
Even the Paladins have been wiped out, so the legions of those lords in the Seonda region must also be gone.
There was a strange glint in his eyes, and he looked at the golden-stained highland plains in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I've been waiting five years for today, no, a whole ten years!" Ondorf walked to Ka's side, looking out as well, a warm breeze on his cheeks, intoxicating, he felt like he had never felt so comfortable.
"You know?" Ondor's interest seemed to be high, as if he was ready to pour out all the words that had been in his heart for many years:" When the army passed through the bend, I reminded the chief paladin that he needed to send troops to stay, he was impatient, after our successive victories, I reminded him not to take the enemy lightly, he was dismissive of me, and when we entered the swamp, I reminded him not to pull the heavy troops into the area, he began to be cold to me, and when we were constantly ambushed and unable to deal with it, I reminded him that we should retreat to the plains, and he began to get angry with me, when I ......"
He kept talking about the process on the battlefield and seemed quite excited about his successive relegations.
Finally, Ka sighed softly and said, "As a result, the forces that have been finally integrated in the Sedaon region, those forces that are loyal to the Holy See, and the forces of those marginal dioceses have all been consumed in this war. He glanced at Ondor, and continued, "As the most sober person in this war, your reputation in this region will increase infinitely after this war. ”
Ondor raised his chin and smiled silently.
"But," Ka Yufeng said, "It's not enough!"
Facing Ang Duo's gaze, he still said in the same tone as if he was talking about the weather, and said lightly: "The power vacuum that has appeared in this area will definitely attract the attention of other forces, judging from the area and the surrounding situation, the three major dioceses of the nearby Bright Sect are the most convenient to meddle in." You can take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of the fear and worry of the nobles of the Sedaon region to control the power of this military alliance firmly in your hands, heh, in this situation, whether from the side of the Holy See or in this region, you are also the only person who can be trusted, the only person who can turn the tide. ”
Onduo smiled slightly, frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "But, what about the Swamp Clan?"
Ka smiled and said, "Without the information provided by our Thieves' Guild, they would not have won this war, we need a regime that recognizes the existence of the Thieves' Guild, I believe that only you can do this, don't you?" He smiled lightly again, "Besides, with your current reputation and your engagement with Priest Daphne, you are enough to gain a foothold here just by virtue of her mentorship." ”
Onduo snorted and said, "I rely on myself to do things. ”
Carol glanced at him and didn't speak.
But he made a decision in his heart.
Judging from the conversation just now, although Onduo stood on the pinnacle of victory, he still revealed the arrogant nature, although in the past few years under his own arrangement, he tried his best to restrain the edge, and contained this essence under the decapitator that could fall at any time, carefully dodging the poisonous arrows behind his back, and his sense of smell was sensitive to avoid those deaths that passed closely, however, at the moment when he was close to success, he couldn't hold his breath so quickly, and the five-year investigation was really concluded at this moment.
That's the end of his tracks.
He wasn't the man he was looking for.
So, Ka felt that the time had come to leave the man.
He bowed slightly and said, "Knight Frontinus, it seems that I should leave for a while and return to the union." ”
Ondor turned his head abruptly, his gaze fixed on his face.
This man knows everything, and his resourcefulness is terrifying, if he were to leave himself...... There was a hint of coldness in Ondor's eyes.
Ka's expression was calm, he knew that the other party was holding the sword tightly at the moment, or rather, he had never let go of his hand since he entered the hall.
In the middle of the night, Ondor's face slowed, and his five fingers slowly released the hilt of the sword, and slowly stretched out his hand, very careful, very cautious.
Seeing that hand getting closer and closer to him, Ka's face still did not fluctuate at all.
There seemed to be hesitation in Ondor's eyes, which made the process particularly slow, and finally, as if naturally, the hand fell on Ka's shoulder, patted it twice, and said with great sincerity, "Will you ever come back?"
However, the more sincere the smile, the more poisonous the poison is hidden inside.
Ka smiled very plainly, nodded, and said, "Of course, it will." "His demeanor is very natural, without the slightest hint of disguise or artificiality.
Ondor's hand did not retract, his eyes flashed, "In this case, you don't have to go, I still need your excellent mind to help me with advice, have you forgotten that you have arranged the layout in Sedaon for the past five years?"
Ka seemed to laugh, shook his head embarrassedly, and said: "Without the cooperation and unreserved trust of the knights, I would not have been able to do this, not to mention, there is a huge guild behind me, I believe that without me, anyone can take on this important task." ”
Guild?Ondor's pupils shrank, and he lifted his hand away from the other party's shoulder, as if feeling a little out of shape, he smiled kindly, and slowly withdrew his hand.
Ka chuckled softly, he saluted, turned and walked out of the hall, and as he passed the entrance, he paused slightly, looked at the fluttering Holy See cross flag above the door, and sighed in his heart.
In fact, this is also a war of thieves.
He smiled.
We are the real winners.
