Chapter 39 [I Want to Be a Soldier]
Bloodhoof Village
Haken had been alone in his tent for three days. Haken hadn't seen anyone for three days, and the entrance to his tent was swept away by a hurricane that could cut off his body, making it impossible for anyone to approach. The day after Lin Yu left Bloodhoof Village, the Thunder Cliff guard, who was in charge of guarding the Giant Gate of Mogaulei, visited Haken. After they left, Hakken's mood became very unstable. Sometimes angry, sometimes gloomy. Haken's emotions directly affect and drive the mood of the other clansmen in Bloodhoof Village. He was furious, and the other minotaurs were all trembling and living in Bloodhoof Village, for fear of angering Haken somewhere. Of course, there are exceptions to everything. Habu and Abu were not in the least affected by Hakken's emotions.
After Lin Yu left, Abu received physical training from Habu. The first prerequisite for becoming a professional is to have strong physical fitness. Even mages and priests with the ability to manipulate magic and light need to be physically strong. Habu thought that the physical training plan he had given to Abu was already a bit harsh. But to his astonishment, Abu was able to successfully complete his plan every day, and even exceeded it many times. After the training, Abu refused Hab's help and dragged his exhausted and scarred body from the plains and forests of Mogaure back to Bloodhoof Village to seek treatment from Motasha. That's how Abu went every day. Training, healing, resting. These three parts have become the whole life of Abu.
"Abu, today's strength training is enough, let's rest for a while." Habu sat on the ground and said to Abu, who was holding the boulder.
Thump. Throwing the boulder to the ground, the sweaty Habu smiled and said to Abu.
"It's all right, Uncle Hab. I still have the strength to practice for a while. ”
"You said you were still a child, why are you so strict with yourself!" Habu said angrily.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Abu replied as he lifted the boulder from the ground above his head with great difficulty.
"I have to become strong as soon as possible, so that I can see Uncle Lin Yu earlier."
"Alas, you kid." Habu sighed softly, took out a piece of roasted pork chop from his trouser pocket, and ate it with a sad expression
In Hakon's tent, without alarming anyone, an uninvited guest wearing a bone mask suddenly entered, silently looking at Hakon who was lying on the ground surrounded by the raging wind elementals.
"What are you doing here?" Haken looked at the uninvited guest with a gloomy face and asked in a deep voice.
"We hope to work with the Haken leaders."
"Cooperation? Scold. Haken sneered and held out his hand to him, the furious wind elemental gathering in his hand and making a whistling sound.
"Haven't you filthy guys been working with the Terror Totem? Why do you want to come to me? ”
"Because we have a common enemy, the leader." The uninvited guest took two steps back slightly, and said that the force of the wind had put a lot of pressure on him.
"A common enemy? Who is it? The corners of Haken's mouth curled slightly, and the force of the wind in his hand suddenly collapsed.
"Wren Darkblade. He killed Zankin and became the new leader of the Mogore Terror Totem. This capricious Night Elf has broken the agreement between the Terror Totem and us and launched an attack on us,,,"
"What does that have to do with me?" Before he could finish his sentence, Haken asked interruptedly.
"Has the leader forgotten what you did to Hab?"
"What did you say?" Haken's face sank and he asked.
"Leader, what you did back then was not seamless. Zamkin kin knows, and so does Wren. Now that Zankin has been slain by Wren, his power has expanded to the point that neither you nor I can ignore it. The relationship between that woman and Wren must also be clear to you, do you think Wren will be kind to you? ”
"You think I'm going to be afraid of him?" Haken chuckled and asked.
"Of course, you don't need to be afraid of Wren. But what if you add the power of the Mogaolei Terror Totem? Also, if Wren pokes out the events of the past, do you think you can still sit firmly as the leader of Bloodhoof Village? Or do you think that Hab guy is going to let you go? ”
Haken was silent, and after a long time, Haken looked at him and said.
"I promise to work with you, but I have one request."
"Please."
A wicked and bloodthirsty smile appeared on Haken's face, and his hand slashed through the air in the shape of a knife, and the power of the wind condensed into an indestructible blade to cut off his arm, and the green blood stained his leather armor, dripping to the ground.
"I've got to leave something here."
He bowed lightly to Haken, his voice trembling slightly.
"The leader has a point."
With that, his body gradually darkened, and he disappeared into Haken's tent, and the whole time he did not glance at the arm on the ground, as if it did not belong to him.
"Wren, I'm not going to let you get better," Haken muttered as he shouted at the minotaur outside the tent.
"Guards! Inform all the clansmen of Bloodhoof Village to declare war on the Terror Totem! ”
"What do you mean you're a conscript?" Lin Yu asked the big bald head Aston Dao, he felt that among the three people, only this big light was quite normal.
Aston subconsciously wanted to answer Lin Yu's question, and Martin, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, flew on Aston's body, covered his mouth and shouted hoarsely at Lin Yu.
"You gnoll spy! Don't want to get a little bit out of our mouths about Sentinel Ridge! ”
Bang. Lin Yu was very direct, calm and calm and punched Martin in the left eye, and Martin, who was still like a martyr just now, suddenly screamed again and again.
"My eyes! I'm blind, I must be blind! Yes! ”
With a slap to open Martin's brain, Lin Yu dragged the little bald head Asr. Put your hand on his bald head and say to Aston grimly.
"Boy, tell me everything you know, or I'll make a hole in this little bald head."
"Don't! Please! Don't kill me, Alice is still waiting for me at home! Please let me go, woo woo woo. When Asr heard that his proud bald head was about to be opened a hole, he cried in fright.
Lin Yuha laughed, slapped Asr's little bald head, made a crisp sound, and said coldly to Asr.
"Shut up!"
Asr immediately shut his mouth.
"Now, you say it. What is a levy" Asr and Martin finally quieted down, and Lin Yu asked Aston Dao.
"Sentinel Ridge is divided into two arms, one is a levy soldier and the other is a regular soldier. Levies are soldiers who are forcibly recruited by the civilian population, are untrained and do not have a high status. The regular soldiers are different, although they are not many in number, they are brave and good at fighting, and most importantly, they have received strict military training, and their status is much higher than that of us levies. ”
Aston's cautious Wei Linyu explained, for fear that the humanoid demon in front of him would accidentally kill his younger brother.
"Since you are a conscription on Sentinel Ridge, and you don't have anything to do to fight the gnolls, what does it mean to come to me for trouble?"
Aston pointed to Califin's corpse and said.
"Califin was a squad leader for the Sentinel Ridge Recruits, and fled the battlefield with his squad during the battle with the Gnolls. Captain Coudrus told the three of us to find any member of Califin's team and bring it back to Sentinel Ridge, dead or alive. I agreed to let the three of us become regular soldiers. That's why we're looking for you. ”
Lin Yu smelled a hint of conspiracy from Aston's explanation. In order to survive, he doesn't mind thinking the worst for everyone. The combat power of the Aston trio is the weakest Lin Yu has seen since he came to Azeroth, not to mention the weak combat power, the key is that the brain is not very good. With these two of them, there is only one way to die when they meet Califin's team. Although the strength of Calivin and the others is also terrible, after all, they are adults, and they must be stronger than these children. Calivin fled, and the captain of the regular army, Kudrus, did not send the regular soldiers to search and encircle, but instead sent these three fools. This was clearly to make the three of them die at the hands of Califin. It's a pity that these three goods don't know yet, and they still look at Calivin's corpse with a look of hope and longing.
Letting go of Asr, Lin Yu pointed to Califin's corpse and said to Aston.
"You want to take him back to Sentinel Ridge?"
The three Aston nodded in unison.
"I can give it to you, but I have a small request."
"What a request! Benefactor! As long as you hand over Calivin's body to us, I can promise you anything! Aston said excitedly.
"Yes, promise you, promise you!" Martin's bruised, injured eyes widened, and the muscles on his excited face trembled.
"Alice can't give it to you! And my letter! The little bald head held the love letter in his arms vigilantly and muttered quietly.
"Who wants your broken love letter!" Lin Yu roared at Asr angrily, seeing that he was about to shrink into a ball of fear, then he let out a sigh and said to Aston with a smile.
"I'm going to be a levy on Sentinel Ridge, you can introduce me for a while."
"No problem!"
"It's the easiest way to introduce something! I, Martin, am the popularity king of Sentinel Ridge! ”
"Don't rob my Alice and love letters when you become a conscript."
Seeing that they agreed happily, Lin Yu asked.
"There are some things I need to ask you about. What is the steward of Sentinel Ridge called? "What is a steward?" Aston asked, blankly.
Lin Yu clenched his fists and rattled, resisting the urge to beat this idiot violently.
"It's the highest status in Sentinel Ridge."
"Ah, that's right. The highest ranking in Sentinel Ridge is Sheriff Grian Stallman, who is a paladin! ”
"Can the levies see him in normal times?"
"Of course not, not to mention conscripts, even regular soldiers are few to meet Lord Grian. Someone as powerful as him has a busy day! Aston said with reverence.
"Who's in charge of Sentinel Ridge now?"
Aston thought for a moment but couldn't come up with a result, and elbowed Martin Dao on the side.
"Who's in charge now?"
Martin straightened his chest, smoothed his Zhongnanhai hairstyle with a look of underbeating, and said coquettishly.
"Captain Dynuvin, of course! He's the guy I admire the most! Hee-hee-hee. ”
"Who is Danuwen?" Lin Yu rubbed his eyes and asked without looking at Martin's disgusting face.
"Danuwen is the captain of the first team of regular soldiers. Since Sentinel Ridge is still under construction, Lord Grion usually does not stop at Sentinel Ridge, so the usual decisions are made by Danuwen. ”
"Then if I want to become a conscription, do I have to get Danuwen's consent?"
"Not really. In charge of managing the conscripts is Ryker, the captain of the third team of regular soldiers, who is a good man.
"And what is the identity of that man named Kudrus at Sentinel Ridge?"
"Kudrus." Aston shuddered, and it was obvious that he was afraid of the man named Kudrus.
"Kudrus is the captain of the second regular team, and is mainly responsible for punishing soldiers who make mistakes at Sentinel Ridge. Kudrus has always looked down on our conscripts, and his punishment has been very cruel. Aston replied fearfully.
Now Lin Yu understood why Kudrus would send these three fools to hunt down Califin, which was obviously to kill them. Lin Yu intuitively thought that Kays's death might have something to do with this Kudrus.
"Aston, have you heard of Kais?"
"Kais? The farmer's son? ”
"Yes, that's him."
Aston sighed with some regret and said.
"Kaysko is a nice man, and the days of the conscripts are very difficult, and they often don't have enough to eat. So Kays brought us the pumpkin pie from home. Unfortunately, he was killed by Kudrus as a deserter. Alas, it is a pity that Kaysko is a handsome and kind young man. ”
"You said that Kudrus judged Kais to be a deserter?" Lin Yu frowned slightly and asked.
"yes. In fact, it was Calivin who was convicted of desertion along with Kays, but for some reason, Kudrus only convicted Kais and spared Calivin. ”
"Kudrus did this, and your levies didn't question him?" Lin Yu was furious, according to Aston's words, Kays had given some help to the levies, but when he was wronged, no one seemed to stand up for him, which made him very angry.
"Of course there is!" Martin shouted angrily.
"The three of us, along with the old fellow Ryan, offered to Kudrus to let Kais go. But Kudrus resolutely refused us, and cut off Kays's head in front of all the levies. Whew, such a good guy. As he spoke, Martin burst into tears.
Lin Yu now felt as if he was blocked by something in his heart, and he was very uncomfortable. Tell Asr and Aston to carry Califin's body, said.
"Take me to Sentinel Ridge, I'm going to be a soldier."
