Return to Hearthfire Island.

As soon as he entered the half-plane, Aske saw the girls at work.

I saw that on the flat ground in the center of the mountaintop, the area had been enclosed with an ink ruler and a thin line, and a layer of cement foundation had been laid.

Eleanor and Sidlifa were carrying the timbers, one by one into a frame made of steel bars.

Nora held the construction drawings and pointed at the construction site with Medea and others.

"What are you doing?" Asker couldn't help but laugh, "Is the training all done?" So idle? Started building a house? ”

"It's all done." Medea came up and said, "My arm is still numb...... Who is this little girl? ”

Her gaze fell on Mi'er next to Asker, and her eyebrows raised.

"Mi'er, our new gunslinger." Asker said.

"Oh." Medea stretched out her voice, looked at Mi'er's face covered with scars, and said with a smile, "She's much more difficult to deal with than I was at the beginning, isn't she?" It's quite ruthless to recruit people, Commander? ”

Asker: ???

"Oh my God, what happened to you?" Seeing Mi'er's embarrassed appearance, Nora immediately exclaimed in distress and hurriedly went over to treat her.

Fortunately, her body was full of small and minor wounds, which healed quickly with the touch of healing. Nora took out the handkerchief she had brought with her and wiped the dust and stains off her face.

"Where's your father?" Nora asked, half-crouching to wipe her up.

"I don't have a father." Miel replied.

"I'm sorry." Nora pursed her lips, "What about your mother?" ”

She ...... Passed away. Mi'er's eyes were a little dazed, "Last week, because of malaria, I had no money to buy medicine, and I couldn't wake up again." ”

"I'm sorry." Nora didn't know what to say, but after thinking about it, she said, "Then don't you have any relatives who are still alive?" ”

"I have an uncle." Mi'er was silent for a long time, biting her lower lip in the eyes of everyone.

After hesitating for more than a minute, she looked at the young lady in front of her with a gentle expression, and said, "He...... Said they could take care of me. But he took someone into my house, took all the money my mother had left me, and returned ...... Brought back a bad guy. ”

"Bad guys?" Eleanor frowned.

“…… As soon as I entered, he threw me down on the bed and tried to undress me. Mi'er's eyes lost focus, and her voice seemed to tremble a little, "I struggled a few times, and he hit me...... I hid the pistol my mother had left under my pillow, so I ......"

"Got out the gun and killed the bad guy." Asker motioned for her not to go any further, explaining to the crowd, "When I found her, she was wanted by the police for killing a nobleman. ”

"Of course, now she has more than 30 lives on her body, all of them are police and mercenaries who are chasing her, and the little girl's marksmanship is quite good."

"Oh!" Hidlifa exclaimed in admiration, "She killed more than thirty people by herself? It's awesome, and I'd like to talk to her about the experience of killing. Is it a headshot? Or shoot in the chest? ”

Nora glanced at Sidlifa with hatred: "Don't talk about this! ”

"If that's the case, I'm afraid she won't be able to leave Hearthfire Island right now." Eleanor said calmly, "With such a big murder, Constantinople must be conducting a large-scale search and investigation at this time, as long as she returns to reality, I am afraid she will be discovered and arrested." ”

"Not bad." "It's not a problem for us, she can stay here for a long time." ”

And Constantinople won't last a few months...... He added in his mind.

"By the way, you said that she only killed the nobles who tried to assault her, and the police and mercenaries who searched for her?" Sidlifa suddenly remembered something, "And that bastard uncle of hers isn't dead yet?" ”

"You mean......" Asker groaned.

"Kill him!" Sidley Fa was rightly authentic, and her tone was as light as "let's go have a meal", "It's a pity that this wicked person let him go, why don't we make him a 'blood eagle'." ”

"Blood Eagle?" Eleanor asked.

"That's the traditional way we treat our enemies in our hometown." Sidlifa said excitedly, "Tie him headfirst to the execution rack and feed him a bowl of herbs to stop bleeding and sustain his life." Then, use an axe to carve the outline of an eagle on his back, and then dig out the flesh and flesh in the outline, and break out the ribs inside, which are the wings of the eagle......"

"Sidlifa!" Nora was about to blow up, "Can't you just shut up?" ”

"Hey, what did I say wrong?" Sidlifa said dissatisfied, but when she saw Mi'er's eyelids jumping, she leaned down again, and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry. If you want to take revenge yourself, my sister won't take this opportunity to fight you for this enemy. Of course, if you want to be a blood eagle, my sister can teach you how to do it......"

"Revenge can be considered." Askerth said.

This is not for any reason of righteous indignation, but because after helping Mi'er to take revenge, on the one hand, she can accept the heart of this Minervanas, and on the other hand, she really doesn't have any living relatives, so she can only follow the team with all her heart.

Just like the boss of some entrepreneurial teams, they will give low loans to employees.

"I'll go with you." Eleanor said coldly, "I want to ask this scumbag how he can do such a hurtful thing." ”

"Count me in!" Sidlifa exclaimed excitedly, "I haven't seen blood for too long, my axe is almost rusty!" ”

Eleanor and Nora were helpless at the same time. This stupid girl is usually as simple as something, and when she talks about the enemy, she "kills" and "tortures" at every turn, and she says it with an innocent expression...... What kind of education did this guy receive when he was a child! There must be something wrong with your Northland people's enlightenment teaching!

"Yes." Asker nodded, and said to Sidlifa, "But don't use that 'Blood Eagle'. ”

"No problem, I know of a boat punishment." "Tie him to the boat, cut his belly with a sharp blade without injuring his internal organs, then apply honey to the bleeding near the wound, and then put the boat into the sea, and the flies will ...... when they smell the breath."

"That's enough, Sidlifa." Asker couldn't help but laugh, and interrupted her with a straight face, "No punishment is allowed, understand?" There is no point in torturing the enemy, just kill it. ”

"You speak in a tone like the most old-fashioned elder in our village." Sidlifa pouted.

………………

In the Golden Ruling Palace, Theodora and His Majesty Zoe had been discussing the imperial military transfer plan with Zaifu all morning, only to feel that their heads were splitting and their brain cells were dying.

On the Anatolian Peninsula, where there is almost no danger to defend, how to defend against 100,000 troops with 20,000 troops is almost an unsolvable problem.

In the old Solomonical Republic, 100,000 people were just a matter of dropping a few cloudburst bombs, but now the empire is no longer able to produce cloudburst bombs - at best, it can only produce rudimentary aviation incendiary bombs, and the guidance device is not to be thought of.

There are still 12 planes in the hangar, all of which are currently on duty, and they continue to fly to Anatolia in the east to drop bombs on detected enemy barracks, and the military factories in the Golden Horn are also working overnight to continue producing aerial bombs.

However, this does not seem to have curbed the Seljuks' advance - the Seljuks have equipped almost every unit with a psychic sequence, so there is no question of morale.

Even if half of the aviation incendiary bomb is killed, the remaining half can still charge forward with full morale under the effect of the mental sequence. Therefore, if you want to defeat the Seljuk army, you can only kill all these 100,000 people, and there is no hope that the morale will collapse or something.

Even if one aviation incendiary bomb can burn ten people, it will take at least 10,000 aviation incendiary bombs.

With 100,000 people gathered to stand still, it would be necessary for the fighter crew to collectively drop bombs at least 833 times, and this is still not taking into account the service life and fuel consumption of the aircraft, and if you consider this battle, it is almost impossible to fight......

So Theodora proposed a decapitation tactic, that is, to organize the most elite supernatural forces to strike at Emperor Suleiman, who led the Seljuk army.

This begs another question.

In terms of supernatural power alone, the number of transcendents of the Seljuks is far greater than that of the Eastern Solomonic Empire, and the consequences of the Orthodox Church's long-term suppression of the extraordinaries in the country are shown here.

Thinking about it, the two Majesties really couldn't think of any other way than to borrow troops from Western countries, or to borrow Templars from the Holy See.

After a break at noon, and after a hearty lunch, Her Majesty Zoe went back to Brachna Palace for a nap.

She was extremely concerned about the maintenance of her appearance, and even chose the bloodline route of "alchemist" because of this.

Theodora chose the bloodline of the "Quality Mage", and now it is level 2, and the power of arcane is surging in her body, causing her to be energetic all the time, and there is no need to take a nap at all.

According to the tradition of Emperor Solomon of the East, each royal child must be a level1-level 2 transcendent, so that they can appreciate the importance of supernatural power without losing too much fertility due to bloodline.

However, at this time, Theodora simply wished that he could rise above level 20 and become a demigod, even if he risked being spiritually drained, he would destroy those hateful Seljuks in the east.

The empire was still too short of high-ranking demigods, she sighed faintly.

Coming to the barracks of the Imperial Guards Officer Corps, Her Majesty Theodora was pleased to see that the officers and guards were practicing hard, and the captain of the guard, Michael, whom she trusted, was vigorously training the officers and guards, while pointing to the gladiatorial video on the opposite screen and shouting:

"See clearly, how do other people's tiger cuts work, cut their throats with a knife! While cutting the trachea just right, it won't cut the neck bone at all! What about you? Can't lift a sword with a limp arm? Tiger cuts are used to cut throats, bastard! Give me my arms up! ”

"Andres, are you performing a bat cut that is close to the ground? If you like to lie on your stomach so much, then you will clean the toilet floor today! ”

The officers and guards didn't even dare to wail, so they could only grit their teeth and practice silently, when they suddenly saw Michael half-kneeling with his sword - they also immediately turned around and knelt with his sword:

"Your Majesty Barcelium!"

(Basileios, "emperor" in the Cyrean language)

"No courtesy." Theodora said lightly, staring curiously at the video on the screen. Asker is swinging his sword and slashing open the throat of one gladiator, then slashing at another, slicing weapons, slicing helmets, and slashing the cleft cleanly.

"This ......," she said, as she pondered her words, "who is the warrior on the screen?" ”

"Your Majesty, this man is Asker. Lepius. Achilles. Michael quickly replied, "The only son of the Achilles family in this generation." ”

"House Achilles?" Theodora closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and finally remembered, "It's the family of the ancestor from the Eastern Dragon Country, I remember it was in ......"

"The ancient Solomonic Empire at the beginning of the Quaternary Period, the reign of Emperor Trajan." Michael reminded, "When the Emperor's expeditionary army attacked Parthia, he encountered a group of dragon people from the east in the Persian Gulf, led by an envoy called 'Ganying'. ”

"Gan Ying." Theodora tasted, "I remember, what a rhythmic name, the language of the dragon kingdom is like a ballad, born with a wonderful tone...... You continue. ”

"That was the first time we knew of the existence of the Dragon Nation." Michael continued, "During the Great Colonization of the First Age, there were actually colonial ships landing on the territory of the Far East. It's a pity that because of the first magic tide, too much information was destroyed in the long river of history. ”

"His Majesty Trajan was so pleased that he brought this envoy to Solomon after confirming that there was still a kingdom of mankind in the Far East, and he also erected the Ancient Solomon Pillar as a monument to the first connection between East and West."

"On the envoy's way back, there was a Dragon Nation soldier in Apollonia in the province of Cyres and enlarged the belly of a local girl." Michael said with a wry smile, "He originally thought that the other party was a prostitute, but he didn't expect that the other party was actually the daughter of a famous local family, and he had a one-night love with him because he was greedy for exotic customs." The girl's father was so angry that he forcibly detained him and married his daughter. ”

"That is, the ancestor of the Achilles family." Theodora said, bowing his head.

"Yes." Michael echoed, "The people of the Dragon Nation, whether in terms of skin color, hair color, or eye color, are similar to us Solomons, and they are also born warriors. The soldier was also skilled in sword and spear, and had great and strange fighting skills, and even the equally warlike Spartan warriors were no match for him, so the woman's family named him 'Achilles (Ἀχιλλεύς)', which means 'warrior from the River Styx'. ”

"A warrior from Styx......" Theodora chewed on the word, "I would like to meet this warrior." Michael, can you arrange that? ”

"I can have him summoned to the palace." Michael said immediately.

"Nope." Theodora thought for a moment and shook her head, "Find him." Then take me there, I want to see this person for myself. ”
