Chapter 285: Roman, the Magician
There was the priest of the Lord of Light in the fleet, and when Rollin arrived at the cabin where Iona was housed, the priest was already waiting for him.
Although this is already the best cabin on the battleship, the space for building an ironclad battleship for combat is really limited, and this cabin is cramped and low, only four square meters in size and two meters in height.
Iona was lying on a wooden bed against the wall, next to Davi, and there was some wind and waves in the sea, and she helped to stabilize Iona's body so that she would not be shaken off the wooden bed.
Lorin saw Iona, her face was completely bloody, she couldn't feel a little breath of life, her dress was torn, it was cut out by the Blood Moon Battle Technique, and a line of purple scars could be seen on the snow-white skin in the broken place, just like blood droplets on the snow, which was shocking.
At that time, the whole process was watched by Rollin, so he knew that the scar started from the left shoulder, cut down diagonally, ran through the chest, lower abdomen, and finally cut out from the hip bone, almost cutting the whole person in half, and it was estimated that all the organs in the body were finished.
"How's it going?" Rollin asked the pastor.
The priest shook his head: "Very strict, I can't do anything." ”
"And how long will she last?" Rollin asked again.
"Luckily, she quickly got the replenishment of her vitality, so she didn't lose her breath on the spot, but her whole body vitality was cut off by the sword of the Full Moon Sword Saint, this is like a leaky basket, no matter how much vitality is poured into it, it will leak I think, five days at most." The deadline given by the priest is short.
"Will she ever wake up during this time?"
"Perhaps, because her head wasn't hurt much. But even if you can wake up. It was only the last flash of the fire of life. At most, it's just a few last words. ”
Luo Lin understood the situation, felt regretful in his heart, nodded and said, "Thank you." ”
The priest smiled apologetically, sighed, and exited the cabin.
Dai Wei spoke: "Maybe the mentor can save her." ”
"It didn't work. Five days was too short for us to make it back to Fix Island. So she was hopeless. It's okay these days anyway, and I have to trouble you to help take care of her. Rollin said.
"No problem."
"If she wakes up, sue me immediately."
"Okay."
Rollin gave Iona one last look and turned to leave.
He came to visit. He has fulfilled his duties as the commander of the fleet, and since the other party is helpless, and he has no special feelings for Iona, there is no need to stay by her side. The only feeling he had now was that it was a pity to be missing a powerful helper out of thin air.
Back in the captain's quarters on deck, the squire came with the orc king Sorg after a short stay.
Sorge was a bit of a wolf, and the hides on his body were as tattered as strips of rags, except for bloodstains. There were also stains stained by living in the dense forest for a long time, and he walked in as soon as he walked in. A pungent smell hit his face, causing several guards around Rollin to frown.
Solger didn't pay attention to these details, and bowed to Rollin, "Thank you, Count Maple Leaf. ”
"That's what we agreed on. I'm sorry I didn't come any sooner, and I'm sorry for the loss your clan has suffered. Rollin looked apologetic.
"It's not your fault. You came to the port at the appointed time, and you have already done what you should have done. Hate the undead! Solg snorted coldly, of course it wasn't aimed at Luo Lin, he saw what was happening at sea, five hundred gargoyles rushed over to intercept it, and the other party must have been greatly affected, it is said that even the Full Moon Sword Saint Moro Vogen appeared, and the fleet also lost an archmage because of this, so he couldn't ask for more for this Terran ally.
Then Sorg's face became serious, and he said solemnly: "I came this time, in addition to thanking you, I also gave my promise, as long as I live for one day, as long as you still regard my clan as a friend, my clan will always be your ally." If I regret it, my soul will be spurned by my ancestors and all glory will be lost! ”
This is the ancestral oath of the orcs, and it is the most formal promise of the orc race.
Luo Lin's expression also became solemn, and he returned a salute to Solger: "Then I also give my promise, in the name of the gods, as long as the orcs do not break their oath, I will treat them well, and never use the sword first!" ”
Sorg was a simple man, and after receiving Rollin's promise, he saluted again and turned away.
It wasn't until he was far away that Narosa, who was beside Rollin, pouted: "Oh, it's smoking me, he's like he's just crawled out of a dung pit." ”
If it was before, she would definitely say it to her face, but now it is different from the past, she has to take care of Luo Lin's majesty, and the object is an orc martial saint, she wants to save some face for the other party.
Luo Lin smiled faintly: "Don't say such things again, the soldiers who come back from the battlefield are not clean." ”
Then he had people call for the quartermaster of the fleet.
The quartermaster was a fat round man with a big head and a thick neck, and when he arrived, Rollin commanded: "Remember, don't let those orc warriors eat too much these days, just say that there is not enough food." ”
Full of warmth and lust, when you are full, your head will think more, and there will be more things, and it will take almost half a month on the way back, who knows what will happen?
As for the orc king's oath? Well, you can believe it, but you can only believe in the orc king, as for his control over the orc clan, this is debatable.
"Yes, Count. In fact, we do not have enough food. The quartermaster smiled.
"Then you have to save some food." Rollin smiled, pleased with the guy's cleverness.
After that, there is one last question, that is, what to do with the Terran women in the orc race.
The question is a bit tricky, the orcs are definitely unwilling to let go, and if they force it, then the covenant they have just concluded will be broken immediately. But if you don't save those kindred, you can't make moral sense.
If this matter is not handled well, Luo Lin may be saddled with infamy such as 'cowardice, betrayal of the clan for glory, unscrupulous means' and so on.
He couldn't think of a good solution alone, so he called all the officers and magicians on board to discuss it.
After he threw out the question, an officer did not hesitate to speak: "I think it is time to ask the orcs to hand over all the women, these filthy fellows should be punished for their despicable deeds!" If they won't, fight until they will! ”
Well, a very hot idea, and very relieved, it seems that all the officers think so, if Rollin nods, it is estimated that the three ironclad battleships will immediately aim their guns at the merchant ship where the orcs are.
This is the limitation of the military, who are always willful, full of vigor and do not think about the consequences. Therefore, those soldiers hold the country, and the country will show the illusion of prosperity and strength in an instant, but at most twenty years, it will inevitably wither, and even if the country is not destroyed, it will still survive.
This is evidenced by countless histories, both on earth and in this world. The reason is simple, rigidity is extremely easy to break.
Rollin, of course, would not agree to this, and he looked at the magicians present.
A magician spoke: "At this stage, we desperately need the strength of the orcs, so we can put this matter aside for the time being."
Before he could finish speaking, the officer roared: "What? Do you want those women to continue to give orcs more orc species? You suspect you of being a spy for the Orcs! ”
The magician's face was angry, he didn't bother to argue with these big bosses, and cursed in a low voice: "Fool! Then there was no sound.
Obviously, this magician's approach is weak, and maybe it will make the orcs think that the human race can be bullied, and it may not be possible to gain an inch in the future.
Luo Lin frowned, and his fingers tapped lightly on the conference table: "Any more ideas?" ”
After about ten seconds of silence, the magician Roman spoke: "I have an idea. ”
"Oh, you say." Luo Lin's eyes lit up, this magician's magic is not superb, but his character is serious and rigorous, and he is a rare character.
Agreed, Roman said: "I looked at the personnel placement on the merchant ship, and found that my women were not on the same boat as the orc warriors, so I thought, when we reach the Sapphire Islands, let the orc warriors disembark first, and then we can announce that if the women of our clan are willing to follow the ship, then let them go, and if they are willing to return to the island of Fix, then stay on the ship." We don't force it, we just let them choose. In that case, I don't think Sorg has anything to say. ”
This is what the old man said, Luo Lin smiled, clapped his hands in agreement, and asked, "Then what about those half-orc babies?" ”
"The same is true. It is up to the child's mother to decide whether to give it to the orcs or take it back to the human world to raise herself. Roman said.
Luo Lin pondered for a long time and asked, "Then how many women do you estimate will come with us?" ”
The best result, of course, is that none are left.
Another officer spoke: "Needless to say, who would be stupid enough to follow those beasts?" ”
The rest of the officers also felt the same way, and faintly expressed their extreme disdain for the orcs.
But Roman shook his head: "I don't know. Women's thoughts are too complicated, especially when it comes to their children, it's hard to tell. And when they return to Fix Island, they may not be able to live a good life, but will be discriminated against. If I had to give a number, half and half. ”
This was not the desired outcome for Rollin, but it was the best solution at the moment, and by the way, Rollin also discovered a talent called Roman, who had decided to recruit this magician.
He finally clapped his head and said, "Then do as you say." ”
After that, the journey was very calm, the sky was beautiful, not to mention the smooth wind, and there was no wind and waves yet.
On the third day, Davi came to Rollin and told him that Iona had woken up and wanted to see him.
Rollin was having breakfast at the time, and when he heard this, he immediately got up and followed Dai Wei to meet Iona, he knew that the other party must be a return to the light, this should be the last time he saw the frost dragon. (To be continued......) R1292
