Section 551: Oath (1)
When Marin Gayat took his son away, Mannheim glanced at the headless corpse lying on the ground: "Was it really psionic just now?" β
As a transcendent, Mannheim is not very good at psionic powers, and it can even be said that there is a trench called the Disabled between him and psionic energy and magic, which corresponds to his strength and physique from birth into the realm of otherworldliness.
"It's psionics." Old Hagelberry nodded vigorously: "For a moment, I felt like the world was changing color. β
Old Hagelberg is psionic susceptible, and when he said this, Mannheim's expression froze, and he looked at his military marshal: "Marshal Konstantin, what about you." β
Marshal Constantine was also psionic, and Mannheim thought that the elder Hagelberg might be exaggerating.
"His Excellency Old Duke Hagelberry is not wrong, I am more sensitive than him, when His Excellency Marlin just said that, my vision turned red, as if some supreme being was commanding me, I was completely unable to resist, if it weren't for the fact that His Excellency Marin's target was not me, I would have died a long time ago." Konstantin said this and looked at the corpse: "Carlin has a winter wolf tattoo on his body, this is originally a magic resistance tattoo, he has a good resistance to magic and psionic energy, I don't know the performance of the potion he drank, but you look at his belt, it should be a holy belt, infused with the blood of the saints of the Church of the God of Nobles, and has a very high resistance to psionic energy...... I'm sure this is a conspiracy against Lord Marin, and maybe a different person would have ended up in a different way. β
After listening to Konstantin's words, old Hagelberg smiled: "But in Marin's eyes, it seems to be like a layer of paper. β
"No, it's better than paper." Konstantin said.
And the representative of the Church of Mercy who walked over to the autopsy confirmed Karlin's situation, and then gave an answer that fully supported Konstantin's analysis: "The belt effect was not triggered, and the tattoo circuit was not burned......" After saying the situation, he raised his head and looked at His Majesty Mannheim: "Your Majesty, I am sure that Lord Marin's psionic energy has completed a completely penetrating attack, and all the protective measures on Lord Carlin have not worked. β
The whole hall was silent, and after a long while, His Majesty Mannheim finally sighed, and he looked at old Hagelberg: "I finally understand now, why did you marry Lulu, the only one in the entire third generation of your Hagelberg family who was born in the Purple Room, to Marin, such a strong spiritual energy, when the idle demon comes, you should also be ashamed." β
"Your Majesty, the Hagelberry family has never been in a loss-making business, you should know that." Old Hagelberry smiled with satisfaction.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ma Lin ate this meal in Chaofeng Building very comfortably, the reason was that he had eaten raw fried food that he hadn't eaten for a long time, and it was quite authentic.
"Your Excellency Marin can take His Royal Highness the Prince to the small shop for dinner, we can't be happy."
The boss looked terrified, but considering that he had just died in the store and was still alive, you said that if he didn't have a background, Marin wouldn't believe it.
But it's okay that it doesn't affect his business.
And when he was about to leave, someone came from the Church of the Goddess of Harvest, and the messenger brought a message to Marin - Lady Winter Wolf issued an oracle admitting the defeat of the championship duel, so the Patriarch of the Church of the Winter Wolf did not hesitate to admit that Marin had won, and swore that the Church of the Winter Wolf would never join any conspiracy against Marin and any of his family.
"I see." Marin noddedβalmost acknowledging that Karin Dorma had outside involvement in this operation.
As soon as the messenger of the church left, the messenger from the other side came, and he greeted Marin in a more respectful tone than before, and then took the prince from Marin's side.
Standing on the street, feeling a little undone, Marin glanced at the cigarette case in his pocket and saw that it had been used up when he had used up the cigarettes he had given to the soldiers.
Standing in this world where there are no televisions, no computers, and no mobile phones, Marin looks far away, and the young man who wants to steal half a day of leisure finally has to open the teleportation channel to the defense line.
At the very least, someone else is waiting for me.
Marin sighed, and walked headlong into the teleportation hallway.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Rhodes sat on the edge of the trench, and the young man looked at the pocket watch in his hand, and the young man was a little worried that it had been a long time since His Excellency Marin left.
And his cousin sat beside him, and the young man kept wiping his rifle with the cloth in his hand.
"Can we do something about it? Sir. Not far from them, soldiers gathered around their company commander, and a half-year-old child asked his company commander with a crying voice.
The latter shook his head in silence, then lowered his head as well, and smoked the long pipe of dry tobacco in his hand.
Rhodes looked at the gun in his hand, for the first time the young man had an irrepressible disgust for the nobles, why should they let Lord Marin go back, just because he might kill those damn bastards?
Those damn bastards deserve to die! They killed so many people and deserved to die! Their parents deserve to die because they enjoy the money their sons have earned from their evil deeds, and their children deserve to die because they enjoy the money their fathers have earned from their father's misdeeds.
"I have never understood Northernism as much as I do today." Rhodes muttered, he looked at the central sector of the defensive line, where there were more soldiers, more company commanders, and more regimental commanders and generals waiting for news from His Excellency Marin.
During this time, Lord Marin has become the rightful commander here.
"Cousin, what can we do?" Rhodes asked.
"We can't do anything." Suder said.
At this time, Harsan Chandler walked over, and the young man of the National Order sat down: "Just now the Order has received news that His Excellency Marin has a duel with Karin Dorma, the champion of the Winter Wolf Lady. β
"Karin Doma?! The monster that grows muscles into your brain?! Damn, how can he have the face to fight Lord Marin, Lord Marin is a double legend of a mage and a psyker, and he, he is a half-step legend of the Winter Wolf Knight! Rhodes scolded, his fuss attracting quite a few people.
"I haven't said the result yet." Harsan Chandler laughed, "Lord Marin has been victorious, his psionic energy has broken through Karin Dorma's psionic resistance, and this winter wolf knight has died by his own sword!" β
"This is the best news I've ever heard today!" Rhodes finished a heart-to-heart high-five with his cousin.
The soldiers, too, were encouraged, and they gathered around, and some began to ask where Marin was now, and others were asking what the details of the duel were.
Then everyone looked to the center of the line of defense, because there were cheers from there.
Rhodes stood on top of the trench, and he saw Lord Marin who was crowded and walked outside the trench: "It's Your Excellency!" He's back! β
All of a sudden, almost everyone was scrambling out of the trenches, and every soldier was looking at their Lord Marin.
"Your Excellency! Say something! Someone shouted loudly.
"I ......" Lord Marin used sound illusions for himself, so that everyone on the battlefield could hear his voice.
He was silent for a moment, then looked around: "I'm back, soldiers!" As long as Chaos is here, I'll be here to face Chaos with you! I will always be by your side! β
Rhodes shouted excitedly, and he hooked his shoulders with his cousin.
Harsan Chandler clapped his palms and his face flushed.
The soldiers were cheering, and they were deeply encouraged by the speech of His Excellency Marin, and even the most pessimistic generals, like Stein Mansenheim, who thought that the final end of the day would lead to a civil war in the Northern Kingdom, but who would have thought that His Excellency Marin would return, he did not complain anything, but stood in front of the soldiers, encouraged them, and he swept away the dissatisfaction and complaints of the soldiers.
"Soldiers! I heard you were waiting for me, and you've heard a lot of bad news, right? His Excellency Marin's statement made Stein Mansenheim nervous again.
"Yes! Excellency! The soldiers' unanimous answer left him and his companions dumbfounded.
"Don't worry! Your Prime Minister Hagelberg is my kin, and His Majesty's children are my apprentices, and they have witnessed my duel with Her Excellency Karin Dorma! And I'm standing in front of you now, so there's nothing to worry about? β
The soldiers laughed, some laughing at the second son of the Doma family, but more took off their hats and saluted Marin.
"Soldiers, let us forget about the unpleasantness, our enemy will strike again at any time, so let us be ready to fight at any time, and let us raise the torch of civilization together! Whether giants, orcs, gnomes, halflings, dwarves, elves, humans, or even domestic elves, we are our closest comrades in the face of Chaos...... Long live civilization! β
Stein Mansenheim wiped his face, he never expected His Excellency Marlin to be so generous, and what he didn't expect was that His Excellency Marin would reveal today's matter.
Eventually, he joined in the cheers: "Long live civilization!" β
Rhodes, who was on the high ground, cheered desperately, and with one-eighth elven blood, he had never imagined that Lord Marlin would utter such philosophical words.
His cousin was clapping desperately, Harsan was waving his military hat, and Carmen, the church's apprentice, and his companions were chanting chant.
They looked at Lord Marin, and they were so religious.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
He is one of the most demagogic heroes.
Looking at everything in front of him, Guan Hanqing was also applauding, compared to the waste warlords in his hometown who were fighting for power, he preferred the young man in front of him, the Southern Thai Empire has entered its twilight years, it has been a full six hundred years, the land has not changed its owner, the former royal family is now in decline, and those warlords are competing for power, some of them may become the new emperor, and then lead the southern Thai tribes to fight against the tide of death, but in Guan Hanqing's view, After all, they will still waste their time in all kinds of battles for power and profit for no reason.
"Xingwen, our world also needs such heroes, and there should be such a person who stands up and leads the races to defeat the new invasion." Guan Hanqing looked at his old friend.
Huang Xingwen was not surprised to hear his old friend's words, he looked at the young man in the center with a smile, just like Han Qing said, their world really needs a role like the hero played by Ma Lin: "Old friend, do you know, I like your honesty, just like I like what this kid named Ma Lin said, he didn't show a wronged image of a angry bag, but told the soldiers that he had won again, and then he told the soldiers very cleverly, He will continue to fight with them, and he kicks away the unpleasantness and grievances of the soldiers, what a genius. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Marin stood in the center, he turned his body, and waved his hands at the soldiers on the entire defense line, the young man felt for the first time that there would still be so many of his kind in this world, they were not Marin's compatriots, but they were now the most credible comrades in Marin's eyes,
The soldiers gradually calmed down, but they did not disperse, but continued to look at Marin, who thought for a moment: "Soldiers, do you have anything else to say?" "Your Excellency! Can you lead us forever! A soldier asked.
At this moment, everyone fell silent, no matter who it was, whether it was a soldier or a general, all of them were looking at Marin, waiting for his answer.
Marin smiled, he looked at this soldier, this is an old soldier with a wrinkled face, his clothes are a little old, but his spirit is quite good, he looked at Marin, tilted his head, held his chest high, waiting for His Excellency Marin in his eyes to give him an answer.
"Soldier, why do you think so, I am not your majesty, not your general, not even your company commander, how can I lead you." Marin asked.
The veteran bowed his head in disappointment.
The same was true of the soldiers around him, Marin turned around and watched as the soldiers sighed and felt uneasy more and more, and finally Marin raised his hand.
"Soldiers!" He shouted.
So the soldiers looked at him.
"I am not your leader, I am not your king, but I swear that as long as Chaos exists, I will appear before you when you fight it." With that, Marin walked up to the veteran and reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"I will keep my oath, soldiers, and I will always stand before you."
Marin looked at the faces of these soldiers, among them there were old people, children, young people, and middle-aged people, these people came here for a variety of reasons, but everyone here was fighting for their families to survive.
β¦β¦ I'm sorry, soldiers, I'm just a mortal, I can't protect everyone, I can't keep every one of you alive until the day this war comes to an end.
Marin wiped his face, then looked around, the soldiers gradually calmed down, looking at their anticipation, Marin patted his chest hard.
"Soldiers, I swear to you! I'll lead you... From a victory! Towards another victory! β
At this moment, the soldiers burst into cheers and applause like a sea of mountains.
