(Rune War) Chapter Eighty-Nine: Bobbie Galen Gario
After Chen Yin finished reading the remaining secret history materials of Demacia's generals, he had a deeper understanding of the relationship between Galen, Bobby, and Galio.
Poppy is a yodel girl whom Oron met during his travels to the continent of Valoran after being dismissed from his post as Grand General by Gavin III.
She's a yodeler like no other. She seems to have been looking for a purpose in life. These other yodelers are inherently fickle and whimsical. She seems to prefer to look for regularity and order around her and immerse herself in it.
This impulse led her to get closer to the human settlements of western Valoran, where she watched with curiosity as the human caravans walked down country lanes to the end of the spectrum. The people in the caravan looked ragged and exhausted, but they still hobbled forward, seeking some better life, as if they could be reached beyond the horizon.
But one day, a different team passed by. Unlike other travelers, these people seem to have a clear purpose in mind when they move forward. They all woke up punctually every morning to the sound of the watchman's horn. They all eat together at the same time every day, and after a few minutes they clean up. They were clean and efficient in both camping and pulling.
The yodelers used their innate magical abilities to achieve extraordinary feats, yet this group of humans achieved the same feat through collaboration and discipline. They work together like cogs, forming a powerful force that can never be reached by an individual. In Bobby's eyes, this is more amazing than all the magic in the world.
Poppy was secretly observing the camp when he saw a piece of armor glittering from the tent. This is their commander, dressed in scaly chain mail, layered with metal plates intertwined, each of which is an integral part of the armor. His name was Oren, and his words and actions seemed to inspire everyone like touching the soul. If someone is discouraged, he will go to the side and remind them of the purpose of the trip. If someone is exhausted, he will reinvigorate them.
Poppy crept closer to take a closer look. She was involuntarily drawn to the glittering commander, as if at the beckon of fate. She watched closely as Oron led his soldiers in training. He wasn't huge, but he could wield a massive warhammer with ease. During the night, Poppy listened carefully as he whispered with the elders of the brigade about plans for the trip. She heard them planning to set out on the road and head west.
Poppy's mind was full of questions. Where is Oron going? Where did he come from? How did he assemble such a meticulous group of travelers? Can this brigade take in a yodeler? It was at this time that she made the most important decision of her life: she decided to appear in front of a human for the first time, because it was also the first time she felt some kind of connection with a human.
Their first meeting was unexpected, with Oron asking Poppy as much questions as she did herself, but the two quickly became inseparable. He became her mentor, and she followed his ideals. On the training ground, Bobbi is an invaluable sparring opponent – as she's the second person to date who has dared to actually take on Oren. She was never flattering, and often questioned Oren's decisions with childlike innocence, as if she didn't know she should obey orders. She followed Oron back to his country, Demacia.
Here, Poppy also meets another person who interests her very much, her titular brother, another of Oren's apprentices, Major General Galen.
In Galen's mouth, Poppy learns of Oron's identity, a beloved figure in the kingdom and a former general of the kingdom of Demacia. Oron's weapon was a massive warhammer that Poppy rarely saw him wield, but he carried it on his back, and it was rumored to have devastating and earth-shaking powers. Galen once told Poppy that, like the legend of Galen's Storm Greatsword, the Holy Hammer in Oron's hand was born for the "peerless hero of Demacia", and only this person has the ability to protect Demacia in the future.
When Oron was dying, in front of Galen and Bobby, he entrusted this warhammer to Bobby, and at the same time entrusted Galen and Bobby, as well as his hope for the long-term peace and stability of Demacia. Poppy watched her mentor die, and Bobby swore to Oron that she was only keeping the hammer for the time being, and that she would find the hero and deliver it to him in the future.
Despite her fortitude, Poppy lacks self-confidence and self-esteem, so she never realizes that she herself could be the peerless hero Oron describes.
In the five years after Oron's death, Poppy began to follow Galen to guard Demacia, and accompanied Galen to fight in the north and south, and as time passed, Bobby saw Oren again from Galen's body, and firmly believed that Galen was the "peerless hero of Demacia" in the mouth of her mentor Galen, and she had repeatedly asked for her holy hammer in exchange for Galen's greatsword, but Galen refused each time. From the words left by his master, Galen had long judged that Bobby was the peerless hero and the most qualified person to use this holy hammer.
After that, after Galen and Bobby participated in a battle with Noxus, they passed through the Great Desert of Shurima on the way back to Demacia, where they met Galio who didn't know where he came from and where he was going, Galen valued Galio's skills, but the unruly Galio told Galen that if he wanted to get his followers, he must have the strength to defeat him, Galen and Galio's battle lasted for a day and a night, and in the end, the exhausted two fought to a draw, but Galen also recognized Galen's strength, Willing to follow him back to Demacia, and seeing for the first time someone who can stand up to Galen head-on undefeated, Bobby has a strong interest in Galio, and the two communicate more and more, and the relationship grows closer. In every battle since then, whenever Galen has been by his side, as long as there is a Bobby, then Galio must be nearby.
After the end of the Super Barrier War, Galen died, Galio turned into an ignorant statue, and the three closest companions were instantly left with only Poppy.
Poppy may not be stopping at the statue every day, perhaps not just to remember the two departed friends, she may be waiting for the next full-scale attack of the Void monsters, waiting for the heroic sacrifice next to the stone statue on the front line of the Super Barrier, so that she can meet her two best friends and beloved mentor in another world.
This can't be done, we have to quickly find a way to move Bobby, or the stone statue, to the big fence military town.
"Oh no, it's not good!! General Chen Yin!! Something is wrong!! ”
When Chen Yin was still thinking about the matter between the three of Bobbie Galen Galio in the office of the military department, and thinking about countermeasures, a chubby figure ran in with a look of panic.
Looking at Max, the overseer of the military town who did not have any image, Chen Yin's gaze gradually turned cold.
"Even if you want to show yourself as incompetent, you don't have to be so inferior, right? Master Max? I don't think the Bedville family behind the Knights of the Twelve Round Table would have such a low vision and would send a useless son to such a crucial position. Do you say yes? Master Max? ”
Chen Yin's series of rhetorical questions made Max sweat dripping with cold, and he replied tremblingly, "General, villain, villain, I really don't know what the general said?" The villain is a grassroots soldier, and he slowly worked hard for more than 20 years to get into this position, how can there be such a high-flying nobleman as the adults say Bedwell, how can there be such a non-productive child as the villain!! ”
Seeing that Max didn't admit it, Chen Yin didn't talk to him about the secret question of his identity, and asked directly, "What happened to make you so nervous?" “
"My lord, the scouts who have withdrawn from the periphery of Ertistan have reported that the large army of Void Monsters has once again marched out of Ertistan, according to their rushing speed, there will be another 6 hours to reach the original super barrier defense line, and another 9 hours will reach the outer defense line of the Great Fence Military Town."
"How did it come so quickly? It would take more than a week for Pittwolf's weapons to be fully transported, and Max immediately informed the commanders of the various army groups to begin arming according to the first set of defense plans that we had begun to design. Inform Mr. Tyrone to extend the teleportation time of the War College Grey Guardians in the Super Teleportation Array area by three hours a day, so that the logistics department and miscellaneous forces of the Great Fence Military Town can quickly bury the gunpowder that has arrived according to the first set of defense plans, and load the long-range weapons that have arrived to the various cities of the Great Fence. Miss Caitlin, who informed Pittwolf, to quickly return to Pittlewolf and ask her to do whatever it takes to shorten the time and gather the remaining supplies. “
"Yes, Lord Chen Yin!"
"Herald!"
"Inform the shadow to bring 2,000 cavalry of the Guards and assemble with me at the south gate of the large fence. I'm going to bring Bobby back! “
"Yes!!"
After saying these words, Chen Yin flashed out of the door directly, and his movements were so fast that people blinked, and he himself had disappeared in place.
This was much faster than the soldiers who gave the order and Max, who was in a hurry to run out.
After Max saw Chen Yin leave first, his slightly bent body gradually straightened, the flattering smile that hung on his face disappeared, and for the first time on his chubby round face, such a serious and cautious expression appeared, and the small eyes that were always turning began to flash with a wise gaze.
Although the original general Galen was surrounded by more than half of the elite children of the twelve families, they didn't know who each other was, and some of the noble children were even secretly placed in civilian families by the family from birth, and then grew into pillars of talent who could take charge of themselves under the constant attention of the family. Max is an illegitimate son of the patriarch of the Bedwell family, he was placed in the home of a Demacian veteran since he was a child, and growing up, Max showed amazing talents in military management and financial statistics, and it was only when he was 18 years old that he was secretly recalled to the family once, and his real identity was told by his biological father.
He? How do you know about this secrecy? Is it the secret report of the War College? Or is it from another route? What a not to be underestimated, this young man who is temporarily a great general.
If Max knew that the information that Chen Yin saw was sold by the third heir in line to the Bedwell family, his father's younger brother, who was Max's own uncle, Max and his father would definitely go crazy with anger.
Max's uncle was addicted to gambling, and after a trip to Pittwolf's biggest casino, he owed a huge debt totaling 50 million gold coins, and was completely bought by the Biddles family, the controllers behind the casino.
People like Uncle Max of the Bedwell family, the Biddles family still has a lot in their hands, and this is the power of money, the transaction between interests.
