Section 8 The Wings of the Frontier of the Newborn
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I think we should work together to clear up this misunderstanding, don't we? I'm a Lady Piltworth and hate those belligerent Noxians as much as you do, so, how could I be a ridiculous Noxian spy? Oh no, no, please! Believe me, Your Highness! Your Highness! ”
In a makeshift camp not far from the battlefield, a young adventurer who feels innocent takes every opportunity to explain to those close to him that he is the real victim. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info The two of you are fighting, and you are done indiscriminately arresting the passers-by who are hiding on the side, it is really casual, and you have obviously presented a certificate with official validity, but it was confiscated by the middle-aged general manager who is disrespectful to the old man!
After another failed struggle, the adventurer sat listlessly back in the corner of the humble cabin, his gaze drifting from time to time to the unclosed doorway, passing through the two godguards who were guarding him, trying to seize any opportunity to explain.
What a disaster! Although the Hunter's Trail is a short route from the Boulder Mountain City on the southern border of Demacia to the Giant God Peak, the road is relatively steep and inaccessible, so most of the people who walk through the mountains are hunters. The territory of Demacia is very safe, and the trade roads are guarded by many posts, so merchants and pedestrians prefer to choose wide roads. I also accidentally found the clues of those magical runes that can improve my ability in the previous era from the records of dusty ancient books, and the clues probably point to the vicinity, who wants to bump into such a mess.
This humble hut was the only one in the still-busy camp, and might have been a backup resting place for rangers or hunters. So the camp here is actually just a little tidying up some flat land, simply setting up a marching tent - the southern part of Demacia camping in April only needs to consider sheltering from the rain, and there is no need to worry about keeping warm.
As dusk approached, a bonfire was lit on the flat ground, and the rest of the men, except for the soldiers at the outpost, were trying to complete the task of collecting and burying the bodies of their fallen comrades before dark, just under a hill on the battlefield. Then you have to dig another big pit, although you were still an enemy not long ago, but it is a basic etiquette for both sides to avoid the enemy's corpses in the wilderness when you can.
Compared with the establishment of a brigade, the commanders, who were already seriously overstaffed, discussed the next plan in the big tent next to the campfire, and returned to the boulder mountain city as soon as possible with the wounded, or continued to go forward to try to expand the results of the battle or to spy on the enemy's movements.
The answer is very easy to agree: "Your Highness, your unauthorized battle this time has made Your Majesty extremely angry, and you have already issued three reprimands in a row, if you can't go back as soon as possible, it will be difficult for the ministers to bear the consequences......"
Necessary exercise is okay, but if you think that you can do whatever you want when you leave the palace, then I will not help you with this pot. The original officers of the Southern Frontier Army, including Quinn, nodded their heads in their hearts to the opinion of the chief administrator Zhao Xin, which was really a headache.
Today's scene is thrilling, and if Darius's axe grows so little longer, everyone here may face the emperor's wrath rather than a rebuke. Although everyone is like this in their hearts, as a grassroots officer, they can only silently praise the 'manager' Zhao Xin in their hearts.
"Chief Zhao, the heir of the Demacia Light Shield family should never be afraid of challenges, and I can go and explain to him my father. If my grandfather and his old man were afraid of challenges, the history of the mainland may have changed long ago! ”
This is another big truth, Jiawen II Shangwu made Noxus dare not look west for 30 years, Jiawen III Wenzhi Baode Macia has prospered for nearly 20 years, and now the Noxian military department is becoming more and more aggressive, and conflicts on the border are becoming more and more frequent.
But, big brother, you are completely stealing the concept, although everyone here except for Uncle Zhao Xin has not experienced the glory of the second when he commanded the Demacian army, but you can also know that it has a different flavor when you think about it with your feet.
If the four generations first joined forces to kill Sain, and then turned their heads and worked together to deal with Darius, even if that Noxian chick arrived later, the final result would be completely different, completely destroying the entire elite squadron of the opponent and the two core officers of the young strong faction. Not only will it be a great victory worthy of special mention, maybe the officers present will be able to clear history, where is it like now that even Sain's body has been snatched by the enemy, and there is no real evidence to go back to ask for credit.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Zhao Xin, the chief steward who had been watching coldly, would suddenly throw out the emperor's rebuke as a killer weapon to prevent the prince from continuing his adventurous behavior. After all, Zhao Xin, the governor of Debang, has been loyal to the Guangdun family for decades, and outsiders have long regarded him as the 'personal butler' of the imperial family, and His Majesty Emperor Jiawen III has unreserved trust in him.
"Now is a golden opportunity, immediately pursue the enemy with light troops, and we will definitely be able to cut off the backbone of the army of Nuocheng for decades to come!" In terms of bravery, the prince Jiawen IV is quite like a grandfather, and he turned his head around and asked everyone: "Your captains must also agree to follow me to make meritorious contributions." ”
It's weird. The captains are all looking at the nose, the nose is looking at the heart, and the heart of making contributions is there, if Zhao Xin is in charge of the heights, everyone will forget it, as for you...... The light soldier Jane will probably cut off Demacia's entire future.
"Ahem, Your Highness, uh, I think of a very suspicious thing in comparison," Galen, as a friend of Gavin IV who grew up playing with mud, Galen had to say something to alleviate the current embarrassing situation, and his words immediately attracted everyone's attention--at least on the surface: "Even if he was at a great disadvantage today, Darius was not afraid at all, and finally the Noxian enchantress said, 'The news is thorough, it is not a crime of war', and Darius fled with great reluctance but decisively." ”
"Well, I remember, there is indeed such a thing," Jiawen IV was also present, although Caterina deliberately lowered her voice at that time, but she could also hear it clearly, the prince had an impression after a little recollection, and asked suspiciously: "Galenqing, what do you mean ......?"
"Your Highness, there are many suspicious things about this matter now, I think we need to think about it in the long run, now that we are delayed in the wilderness, it is difficult to get more clues, we should return to Demacia City as soon as possible, and carefully investigate."
A Noxus scout force will be led by two promising young officers, and will be deep into the German border, and the route will be very clear. If it weren't for the fact that it was sent back by his highest-ranking intelligence officer, Galen would definitely be a joke, but now that the authenticity of the information has been fully confirmed, the intelligence officer's work is indeed impeccable.
The only problem is that the information is transmitted directly to the King's military aircraft department using the highest level of encryption, and only a limited number of people in the military aircraft department have access to such information. If Jiawen IV hadn't happened to be intercepted at that time (since he was successful in martial arts, he often happened to pass by), and then the prince who had obtained the treasure immediately went home, pulled Galen, who had just returned to the city for a few days of vacation, and went directly to the boulder mountain city to intercept it, and dispatched troops to intercept it, the whole process was so fast that Emperor Jiawen III only had time to send the most loyal and martial arts governor. It wasn't until Quinn's Mountain Eagle detected the target that the officers of the Southern Frontier Army on the mission learned that the ambush was against a daring Noxian soldier.
Caterina had apparently been notified by the fact that she was going to ambush the Noxian scouts, and the point was that she had to be confident in the reliability of the information before she could do so. So, how did she learn about this information, and how could she be sure of it? You must know that Debang and Nuocheng have been fighting against the enemy for decades, and the intelligence systems of both sides have long been accustomed to deceit, and the junior and intermediate intelligence systems have spent more energy on confirming the authenticity of information than on obtaining a piece of information. The highest level of intelligence again?
At present, there are many people, although they are not willing to maliciously speculate on their compatriots, Galen also has to be cautious, since it has attracted the attention of the prince, there is no more evidence in the other, so he asked the prince about other situations: "In addition, speaking of which, what should we do with the adventurer who claims to be Piltover?" ”
"What else can I do! Manager Zhao has confirmed that his identification documents are real and valid, and he is unlucky, uh, lucky, well, anyway, snooped on our military secrets. At least a few more days before he can leave. Well, it's just time for him to go to Boulder Mountain City to spread the news that the Noxian Young Warrior Sain invaded our country and was killed by a counterattack. ”
Gavin IV thought that the kid suddenly pulled himself to intercede, and the result just affected the injury in the waist - Darius's explosive technique was not a fist embroidered leg, and the giant axe did not tear apart the well-made armor at the first time, but the huge force of the 'disabling blow' quietly used left a lot of internal injuries in the body, so he secretly gritted his teeth and decided to pretend to be a public servant, and said in a high-sounding manner.
The operational meeting finally ended, and the squadron leaders returned to their teams to arrange for tomorrow's withdrawal. Queen's assignment was arranged, and she went around the camp to inspect the guards of the various posts, and it was her conscientiousness and keen sense of battle that made her young and worthy of the rank of officer.
The mountain eagle named Hua Luo saw the female officer walking in the camp, and fell from the branch to Quinn's shoulder, and the man and the eagle rubbed their heads affectionately, because Quinn regarded Hua Luo as his own brother. The patrol continued, and after a moment Hua Luo spread his wings again, ready to go to a distant place to find small animals that had not been scared away by the soldiers to fill their stomachs.
As he ascended slightly higher into the tree, Warlock let out a warning call, and Quinn quickly looked up to confirm the direction Wallot had indicated and galloped away. In just a few steps, she already held the crossbow in her hand, and the crossbow bolt was tightly fastened on the string, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
Outside the camp, in a not-so-dense grass, a faint dark shadow could hear the eagle chirping in the sky, but the dim light prevented him from seeing the sky even if he tried to look hard. After waiting quietly for a while, confirming that there was no movement around, he gently reached out and pushed aside the blades of grass in front of him, carefully poking out his neck to observe the escape route.
"If I were you, I wouldn't do such a stupid thing." With the appearance of a rich female voice, a metal arrow tip tightly attached to the crossbow appeared one step away from the black shadow.
"I think so too, snooping on military secrets and breaking from prison, to be honest boy, you're finished!" A few steps away from a tree trunk, turned out Zhao Xin, the head of Debang, who was holding a spear in his arms, well, it should be again.
