Chapter 171: Reinforcements

"You ...... Is it the reinforcements sent by the revolutionary army? ”

In the tent of the Western alien camp, Gregor looked at the man and woman in front of him with scrutinizing eyes, and a pair of leopard eyes under the big knife eyebrows showed a look of thought and inquiry.

On the left and right sides, there are more than a dozen generals dressed in strange costumes, most of them are leaders or generals of other tribes in the desert, as well as subordinates of the Instarong family.

This time, in response to the call of the king of the desert, Gregor Instaron, to attack the empire, this group of murderers who usually fought and killed actually gathered on the western front to fight against the imperial army.

"Exactly." The old man, who was already old, bowed gracefully and replied politely, "The contemptible is Lagarde, who is in the third seat of the 'Deaththorn', and next to me is Cardina, who is also a member of the 'Deaththorn', in the fifth seat. ”

The old man's age was about fifty years old, and his neatly combed hair was already graying, but just looking at his face, he had the calmness and confidence of a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, and his demeanor showed an indescribable demeanor.

Looking at his clothes, he is wearing an exaggerated costume like a stage costume, wearing a black glove on each hand, and a half-human-high metal cane in his hand, the overall impression is like an aristocratic old gentleman who came out of an ancient oil painting, as if he came from the era of a thousand years ago.

The woman, Caldina, who was evidently not so cultured as Lagarde, lifted her chin slightly, glanced at Gregaud on the high seat, and then raised a rebellious arc at the corners of her mouth, and looked away rather rudely, as if she did not bother to look at him any more.

Unlike Lagarde, she was a fairly young woman, in her early twenties, with a wild beauty, wearing a dark green military coat and trousers of the same color, and a pair of white gloves of the same color as Lagarde's hands, and it is not known if there was any connection between the two. Although he only stood casually, he could clearly feel the aura, like that of a soldier.

But these are not her distinguishing features, the most striking thing is her long red hair that seems to be burning, and her inhuman eyes, one red and one black.

A narrow scar slashed all the way down the center of her crimson left eye, adding a bit of beastly ferocity to this eye, but the presence of this scar did not damage her beauty in the slightest, but added a bit of flamboyance and fierce charm to her.

Gregor's men noticed Cardina's rudeness and immediately became furious, Gregor Instaron was their common king, and if he was despised, it would be no different from being humiliated himself.

Almost in the next second, a giant man with a height of more than two meters slammed the table and stood up, and shouted angrily at Cardina: "You stinky woman is so bold, you dare to be so disrespectful to my king!" Don't think that if you are a member of the revolutionary army, there is something great, if you don't wait for me to give me an explanation, Lao Tzu will let you not get out of this camp today! ”

Cardina tugged at the corners of her mouth and said insincerely: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just saw a loser show off his might in front of me, and I couldn't help but want to laugh at it, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

"Who the are you talking about the loser-"

"Huh? Am I wrong? Cardina smiled defiantly at him, "Didn't you ask for help from the Revolutionary Army because you were beaten by that Estes?" Why do you think the term 'loser' doesn't sound good? How about changing it to 'Lost Dog'? Doesn't that fit in with your current situation? ”

"Shut up! Stinky woman! ”

The giant man couldn't take advantage of it, and he was sarcastically ridiculed by Cardina, and his heart was suddenly angry to the extreme.

It's hard for people to have a good temper in the desert, originally they just planned to intimidate each other and make Cardina apologize, but now the giant man is really murderous.

When anger mixed with blood poured into his brain, the giant man stepped on the low table, and the whole person immediately burst out, and the sandbag-sized fist smashed directly into Cardina's face, without any pity at all.

Seeing Cardina sneer, her body took a step back unhurriedly, just out of the giant man's reach, and the terrifying fist swept across the tip of her nose, and the wind blew her long flaming hair up.

At the moment when the strength of the fist passed, Cardina suddenly made a breakthrough, and two consecutive punches bombarded the giant man's stomach, and the fist sank into it, so that the giant man suddenly stumbled, bent down in pain, and his body subconsciously curled up.

Immediately after, what awaited him was another ferocious and abnormal leg sweep, which hit him in the head from the side, and the strong force actually kicked the giant man out directly, knocking over a row of low tables behind him.

The camp was suddenly in chaos, and more generals stood up and stared at Cardina with unkind eyes—although it was the giants who made the first move, and Cardina was only defending herself, the fact that she was beating people in the territory of the desert people was already a public outrage, and it didn't matter what was right or wrong.

"Hmph, a bunch of barbarians, come and fight as many as you want!"

Surrounded by a lot of malicious eyes, Cardina was not nervous at all, but clenched her fists, causing the bones to crackle and pop, looking very excited.

"Stop the! It's the other way around, you guys? ”

The sudden roar of rage silenced the entire camp, and the generals turned their backs one after another, and immediately met Gregor's calm eyes, which seemed to be pregnant with the Northland Gangfeng.

Feeling the bone-chilling coldness, the generals shrunk their necks and sat down honestly one by one, even the giant who took the lead just now didn't dare to refute anything, and sat sullenly with his stomach and swollen right cheek, without saying a word.

"What, it's boring......"

Seeing that the group of people who were still blushing and thick-necked just now were now all shrunken turtles, knowing that this fight would not be successful, Cardina muttered a little unpleasantly.

"Dina, you're pretty much done, don't go too far...... We are here to help, not to find fault. ”

Lagarde, who was standing beside Cardina, who had been watching the development of the situation quietly just now, sighed at this time, and said helplessly, there was not much reprimanding in his tone, but more of a pampering.

"Oh...... I know. ”

Hearing Lagarde's words, Cardina immediately became honest, she put her hands behind her back and stared as if nothing had happened.

In this world, Cardina, the lawless witch, will only listen to two people.

One was Ulysses, the leader of the Revolutionary Army.

Cardina was once saved by Ulysses, and she became a subordinate of Ulysses, and later gradually developed an admiration for the latter through a series of experiences.

As long as Ulysses gave the order, even if she was to die, Cardina was willing.

And another person who can make Cardina obedient is naturally Lagarde, Cardina's ...... Father.

Cardina is technically a patriarchal and has been very attached to Lagarde since childhood, but due to a sudden accident, the father and daughter were separated for nearly ten years, and later due to some coincidence, they worked under Ulysses at the same time, and they were able to reunite.

Perhaps because she felt indebted to Cardina, Lagarde had been spoiling Cardina so much since then, and even if she did something wrong, she would rarely reproach her with heavy words.

A large part of Cardina's current lawless witch personality is due to her overdoting father.

"I'm sorry, Lord Gregaard, but the little girl is a little grumpy, please bear with me." Lagarde bowed forward, and in an understated manner, she brushed off Cardina's offense.

"Hahaha, do I look like someone with such a small belly?" Gregard laughed a few times, and continued, "Miss Cardina is very outspoken, but she is very angry with me, and she is not wrong, I am indeed only a defeated general...... That's why we have to rely on the revolutionary army to lend a helping hand. ”

Gregaard's words are not all hypocrisy, with his cultivation in a position of position for so many years, he really will not take the words of a girl in her twenties to heart.

What annoys Gregor is the stupidity of his subordinates, all of whom are dominated by emotions and do not understand the situation at all.

Not to mention that he has a request for the revolutionary army now, even if the empire collapses in the future and the people of the desert can return to their hometown, the revolutionary army will not be offended.

On the contrary, he had to make friends with him by all means, even for the sake of the continuation of the whole nation.

"The current situation is extremely unfavorable for our army, it's not that I want to say something discouraged, that woman named Estes is really ...... It's too strong. I don't know what he remembered, Gregor's face was a little ugly, "So let me ask you more, Mr. Lagarde...... Is there really a certainty against her? ”

It's no wonder that Gregor has such a problem, it's really because he has been beaten by Estes psychologically.

Before Estes came to the Western front, the situation was still very smooth.

The Imperial Lieutenant General who guarded the fortress of Changge was named Jeremy Calchas? That's a completely incompetent person, whether it's martial arts or military cultivation, it's a mess, but at least it's a bit backbone.

When Gregor broke through the gates of the fortress of Changge and led a large army to surround him, the man did not choose to surrender, but fought tenaciously until the last moment, until his head was cut off by Gregor's own hands.

It was a small twist and turn, but the desert people finally captured the fortress of Changge, which was undoubtedly a big victory of far-reaching significance.

The gateway to the empire has been opened, and they can then drive straight into the interior of the empire, and even without the help of the revolutionary army, they can rely on their own strength to take back their homeland.

Just as Gregor was dreaming about it, Estes' army finally arrived.

It was a nightmare, the walls of the fortress of the Long Song only held back Estes for three days, and then the desert people were like rats chased by cats, and they were killed in the real sense of the word—Gregor had never suffered such a big defeat, and he somewhat understood why the once-prosperous Prince Numa Seka would go to ruin so easily.

Because he is not facing a man at all, but a devil who is born for war.

Later, Estes retook over the fortress of Changsong and used it as a base to carry out round after round of sweeps against the defeated army of the desert people, and Gregor resisted with great difficulty, despite all his might.

Had it not been for the promise of reinforcements from the Revolutionary Army, Gregor would have almost given up the war and returned to his desert in despair.

Now the reinforcements have indeed arrived, but looking at the old man and a girl in front of him, Gregor really can't figure out how powerful they are, and then he thinks that he will face the female demon of Estes next, and his heart is naturally a little weak.

"What do you call that? If we're not sure, what are we going to do here? To send to death? Cardina heard Greggau's question, and immediately became unhappy, "Tell you, my father can be strong!" Super strong ......"

"Dina."

“…… Oh, I just don't speak. Cardina covered her mouth.

"I understand your feelings, Lord Gregor." Lagarde said, "But the leader of Ulysses never fights uncertain battles, and arranging for our father and daughter to come to the aid of the two of us naturally decided to do so, so you can relax." ”

Lagarde said this with confidence, and Cardina obviously thought the same thing, nodding her head behind her back.

As mentioned before, the so-called ranking of "Dead Thorn" is not reliable.

Although it ranks third in the "Dead Thorn", Lagarde's real strength is much higher than this evaluation, but this elderly man is not interested in fighting around, and he is just inconspicuous on weekdays.

If he really had this will, he could even easily defeat Salo as the second place, as for the "Black Knight...... This probably still has to be weighed, after all, Lagarde no longer has the vigorous energy of his youth, so he doesn't dare to say that the winning rate is very high.

All in all, even the transcendent rank of "strongest in the empire" is not unchallengeable for Lagarde.

Moreover, his mission this time is not to kill Estes, but to delay time and maintain that the western front will not collapse too quickly, and if he can't bear it, he can retreat, so Lagarde can have such a calm attitude.

Probably infected by the confidence in Lagarde's words, Gregor also breathed a sigh of relief, and said solemnly: "Since this is the case, then please leave everything to the two of you." ”

"Do your best." Lagarde said with a light smile.
