After listening to the narration of the woman in front of him, Chen Mo sighed, things are really not so simple. Although Chen Mo knew www.biquge.info that with this woman's vision, he would definitely not be able to see Edwin's true purpose and scheme.

But Chen Mo knew that even if these people really understood Edwin's scheme, they might not help him. For those who have been in despair for a long time, "hope" is the deadliest poison for them, and this is true for these people, and it is also true for themselves.

Chen Mo and the others were pondering, and Vanessa's cold voice sounded again: "So, what is your judgment now?" ”

Chen Mo smiled bitterly, now how can he judge, the situation is becoming more and more confusing, and he can't say "more", after all, at the beginning, all aspects of this seem so confusing.

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "I need more answers." ”

Vanessa got up and walked straight to the door, opened the door and walked out. Chen Mo was a little puzzled and stopped the other party: "Where are you going?" ”

Vanessa glanced back at Chen Mo and said, "Go find the answer you want." ”

The answer Chen Mo wanted was in the barracks of the Gravel Fort.

At this time, there were not many guards in the barracks, and all of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. When he saw Chen Mo and his party, he wanted to drive away, but after Vanessa revealed his identity, all the soldiers present got up and bowed slightly to Vanessa.

This surprised Chen Mo, these guys have never been so respectful when facing the governor from the royal capital, and there is really a story in this.

According to Chen Mo's original conjecture, if they knew Vanessa's identity, even if they didn't immediately control each other, they would stay away, after all, they would stay away, after all, they were the daughter of a wanted criminal on charges of treason.

But I didn't expect that the development of things would be like this, which was completely beyond the expectations of several people.

Knowing the purpose of several people, with Vanessa's nod and permission, the eldest veteran, spitting smoke rings, began to tell the story he knew under Chen Mo's question.

Chen Mo: "What kind of person is Edwin in your eyes?" ”

The middle-aged veteran, who was somewhat disabled in his right hand, spat out a smoke ring and said slowly, "Lord Edwin...... He was a good commander, a valiant warrior, a fair arbiter, and a wise leader, but sometimes a little radical......"

Chen Mo was really surprised at this time, with the appearance of the person in front of him, he was obviously a battle-hardened warrior with extraordinary experience, he didn't expect that he could give Edwin such a high evaluation.

And, according to his account, Edwin's image has become more and more confusing. Unlike the mysterious savior in the eyes of the villagers, these people obviously know more about Edwin's plan, but it is these specific things that portray Edwin even more tallly.

The 1st, 4th, 7th, and 94th legions make up the 4 most powerful legions in the Empire. Originally, there were ten major legions in the empire, and in the end, only these four armies were left not because other troops were scattered, but because these four armies suffered the heaviest casualties in the wars of the past dynasties, and when the establishment was incomplete, in order to commemorate the bravery of these legions. The king ordered the other legions to be broken up and added to them.

Edwin was transferred to the Fourth Legion after a siege campaign against the Mountain Giants more than a decade ago. And he was originally a high-ranking member of the Second Army.

The Second Army Corps was the Empire's engineering corps, and many great projects were completed by this unit. Including Oslod, which took 100 years and took several generations to complete.

Edwin, on the other hand, was one of the main figures who presided over the construction of Oslod, and when this gorgeous, miraculous city was finally completed in his hands, he had not only a sincere pride and joy, but also a responsibility.

Due to the peculiarities of its formation, many of them were not professional soldiers, a significant part of them were craftsmen. After the city was completed, the nobles who were supposed to pay Edwin for their salaries and wages repented. Not to mention the most basic wages, even the pensions of soldiers and craftsmen who died in the construction were not paid.

This act angered Edwin, who was full of a sense of justice, and after several unsuccessful bargains, Edwin began to gather people to organize a march. However, in a parade, several Oslode nobles were inexplicably lost, which completely intensified the conflict. The Imperial Diet decided to remove Edwin from all positions and began to suppress the marching populace, including some of the soldiers of the former Second Legion, which had been assigned to the Fourth Legion.

Defeated by the shamelessness of these greedy nobles, Edwin was banished.

Exiled, Edwin led a group of artisans and sergeants who suffered the same fate as him to form the largest rebel group in history: the Brotherhood of Stone Fire. With the skilled craftsmen of the Guild, Edwin set up camps in many places.

After maliciously defaulting on wages and being falsely accused of exile, he was no longer the model soldier he had been, and his heart was filled with inaction, disappointment, remorse, and anger, and when these emotions were intertwined, Edwin's heart burned with rage. He only wanted to do one thing, overthrow these rotten nobles and destroy the city he built with his own hands.

Chen Mo was a little surprised, could it be that this kind of behavior was just "a little extreme" in the eyes of these veterans?

If I continued to ask, I realized that these people were also full of hatred for the elite class in Oslod.

Once the most elite legion, the Fourth Legion has survived in name only.

The young and elite in the legion have long been recruited as private soldiers by the major masters, and the veterans who have really been on the battlefield and made great contributions to the peace of human territory, and those who have been fighting for many years and returned from the border can only die alone.

These in the Gravel Fort are all forsaken members of the Fourth Legion, but these people are the real backbone of the Fourth Legion. They look down on the soldiers who work for money, and in their eyes, those people are no different from eagles and dogs.

Originally, their situation was not like this, but a month ago, they learned that the commander of the Fourth Legion had disappeared for no reason, and the matter had been concealed for half a year.

Chen Mo remembered Edwin's words when he left, so he asked about Presto by the way, but he didn't expect that none of these guards knew about Presto's existence. Even Vanessa herself didn't know much about Presto, except that this woman had helped her father with some important decisions before, and had helped him a lot, and seemed to be an extremely important member of the fraternity.
