Section 555: North (1)

For some reason, this child gives people the illusion of meeting acquaintances.

This shouldn't be, obviously the first time two people met, how could there be such a feeling, between him and her...... It's like we've known each other for 10,000 years.

Marin tried to recall, but found nothing, he wanted to remember the past about the child, but found that between her and him, there was almost no chance of acquaintance.

Except last time at the Duke of Briss's side, he had contact with these children.

But according to the intelligence, the child was in an orphanage that she had just entered this year - she was abandoned by an incurable illness that eventually became too much for her family to bear.

The goddess of fate is really a cruel stinky woman.

Marin slandered and went home at the same time.

His father, Old Gaiat, always said that he would recuperate at home, but his personality of watching and rubbing the excitement made him unable to rest at all.

It's like today, he didn't show up at home, and asked his neighbors nearby, it was said that there were xenos in nearby villages and towns, and he took a few young witchers to help, saying that he wanted to bring a group of young peers - as a legendary demon hunter, he has enough strength, as long as there is not a legion-level chaos invasion on the side of Fort Carter, basically dozens of xenomorphs or even hundreds of xenomorph invasions are not the same thing, Marin's factory guards and the extraordinary of various nobles can take care of things.

Leaving a note for his father, Marin went to see Cross again, the only girl in the family who was running around with a big belly, and she didn't know what she was doing in her mage tower, and Marin was in a trance when she pushed the door open.

Her father had recently been treated in the hospital of the Church of Mercy for a stroke, and his brain problems, even the effects of the World Tree potion were limited, not to mention that no one had noticed the old man when he had a stroke, and he had been lying in his own mage tower for most of the day before he was found by the members of the mage tower who had not gone to work.

It's a blessing not to die.

So Cross must have decorated the Mage Tower on her own again, and when Marin pushed the door open, it was as if she was back in the fog of Fort Carter.

Glancing at the food on the table, thankfully, this was not that world, and there were various kinds of Kloss's favorite foods on the table, as well as Fafa.

The scorpion only rushed out of its hiding place when Marin pushed the door in, ready to attack the invading enemy, and after discovering that it was its master's lover, the pet burrowed back to the table - judging by its somewhat hurried steps, more because of Salis on Marin's shoulder.

Letting his bird fly up the climbing frame, Marlin called out Cross's name, and immediately heard a surprised answer from the second floor, the rabbit girl poked her head out of the door: "Why are you here?" ”

"There's something going on over there at church." Marin told Cross about the incident lightly - this sad thing should be kept in his heart.

The bunny girl was very happy to hear that Marin had come to visit her after work, and her belly was visibly bulging, which made Marin a little cautious when hugging her.

"Did you go to the hospital and the doctor said your due date was coming?" Marin asked.

"No, Marin, you are a golden bloodline, once the child of the strong is implanted, the growth is very slow, even if I am a rabbit, after all, I am also highly distorted." Cross stroked her abdomen, then looked at Marin, "I can feel that you are a little unhappy, what's wrong." ”

"It's okay, I've seen too many life and death partings in the north." Marin used this excuse to prevaricate.

"Don't make yourself too hard, Marin, this is a war, it's a tide of death, you've done a very good job, I've seen the situation in the north from the Mage Tower, the casualty rate is lower than any previous fight against the tide of death, everyone says it's your credit, but Nova and Faye don't think they can let those people say that, so they've been praising the northern nobles and soldiers who dare to face chaos in your name in the newspapers of Farol and Sidney."

"They did the right thing, I couldn't have eliminated so much chaos alone, by the way, what did you say about Ayres." Marin asked with a smile - with Faye and Nova here, he really doesn't need to worry about a fire in the backyard, his own girl has already learned what is called public opinion warfare with him, and he doesn't even need Marin's instructions to help him solve the matter.

"The lich, we've positioned him as your retinue." When Cross said this, she also deliberately explained - the girls really didn't know why this powerful lich was so obedient to Marin, but judging from his actions, it was indeed clear that he was surrendering to Marin, so they made this definition, first, to make Marin sound more powerful (you see, so powerful that the lich that can already be called a legend obeys Marin's orders), and second, to make Ayres's actions in the north more legitimate, so that everyone in the south can understand as soon as possible.

After all, no one can say whether the next invasion will be slapped in their faces now that the tide of death is getting closer and closer.

Ayers' undead legions are now fighting better and better, and in the north, even some of the wounded soldiers are willing to donate their bodies to become bone musketeers after death - mostly soldiers with a blood vendetta against Chaos, who have made a pact with Ayres that their bones will join his army when Ayres fights Chaos in the north, and when this invasion ends, or when Ayres leaves this world, their bones will remain and be purified.

The churches in the north have accepted this, firstly because an unknown person can become the guarantor of Ayles, secondly because Ayers' army of the undead is too effective against Nurgle, and thirdly, because Ayers has recently been able to smoke cigarettes made from tobacco cultivated in holy water, which is still a church item of the Just Church, and Ayers also said that this thing is very powerful, and under normal circumstances, ordinary lichs have long since died into balls.

Marin even remembered the funny scene when the heads of the Church of Justice, big and small, looked puzzled when they mentioned Ayers.

"Yes, that's a good position." Marin affirmed the girls' actions, but still expressed some doubts about why the rabbit girl lived in the Mage Tower: "Why do you live here? ”

"It's too noisy over there, it's not good for me to study spells, I want to get stronger, so strong that I also become a legend." Cross said this, with a trace of sorrow on her face: "Marin, Faye can still dream of her heir, and she is the only one of us sisters who has not dreamed of it, even if she is pregnant...... It shouldn't be, Marlin. ”

"I know, I'll go and accompany her when I have time, speaking of which, you've seen a few children." Marin asked.

So Kloss told Marin everything she knew about the children, and when she heard about Nanaki, Marin asked about the child's experience in curiosity.

Marin was upset when he heard about her actions in Oslo, and when he heard Cross's concern about the child's future, Marlin patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, I'll go over there and have a look, I'll try to clean up the last place she went in your dreams, don't worry, Cross." ”

"But it's too dangerous over there, it's the core of the black zone, it's very cold there, I'm worried about you, I'm going to go with you."

"Don't be stupid, I'm a frost giant, the north is my hometown, don't worry, leave the matter to me."

Marin comforted Cross, took out his pocket watch to confirm the time, and found that it was already noon: "I'll have a meal here, and then I'll go back to the north, Cross, I want to eat something today." ”

"I want to eat a salad." The bunny girl replied with a smile.

"Okay, I'll do it for you." Marin smiled and pulled some carrots from his half-plane and came back, "Also, I have a new dish here, you should like it." ”

"Then I'll see." Cross sat down in a small chair beside her, full of anticipation.

The same scene, the same person, Marin is a little trance-like, but more of a nostalgia for the old rabbit in another world.

Marin hasn't set foot in that world again, maybe he has been completely purified by the flames.

Yesterday's events are no longer there, and all Marin can grasp is the beauty of the present.

After cooking several dishes, all vegetarian, Marin roasted himself a few pieces of meat at the end and finished the meal with Cross at a small round table.

The rabbit girl was very happy, she liked every dish very much, and when she ate the stewed carrot soup, the sparkle in the rabbit's eyes was clearly visible, and she said that she loved the dish to death.

Marin was very happy.

This is my bunny girl, Kloss.

Taking care of everything, Marin kissed Cross goodbye and stepped into the teleportation back to the north.

………………

Seeing Marin come out of the fixed passage, the soldier who was the guarding force immediately saluted Marin: "Your Excellency, you are back. ”

"yes, the matter on the church side has been taken care of, so it's okay today." Marin asked, pulling out his cigarette case.

"It's okay, Chaos doesn't seem to have come to us today to find bad luck for each other." The soldier thought about it again: "Yes, I didn't make a mistake. ”

Then he caught the cigarette that Marin threw over: "Thank you, Your Excellency. ”

"You're welcome, soldier, we're comrades on the same line." After Marlin finished speaking, he distributed cigarettes to several other soldiers, and Fio took a lighter to light cigarettes for the soldiers one by one, and received their continuous thanks - everyone knows that Marin's World Tree Twig is a real legendary thing, let alone lighting a cigarette, it is not a matter of hanging a few Nurgle Chaos.

Saying goodbye to the soldiers, Marin marched all the way along the trenches, under the afternoon sun, the soldiers were enjoying the rare sunshine on the trench walls, the war ground hair and pedicures were popular, the trenches were full of all kinds of strange smells, Marin had to jump out of the trenches, while greeting the soldiers, while signaling the soldiers who all had the smell on their bodies to go to the shower area to deal with themselves.

Then I was told that it was overcrowded, and that they were the unlucky ones who couldn't even be ranked today.

However, the soldiers apparently didn't care much, after all, their hygiene was already the best in history, thanks to Lord Marin.

Marin wondered how this praise could have come from the sky.

All this until he saw Lulu, the girl not only arranged the shower time for each company in the shower area, but also sent the gendarmes to maintain order, so that the shower area, which was originally crowded with sardines, had a rare order.

Because she was Marin's wife, she managed a bathing area that no general would take care of, and she succeeded in establishing order, and distributed razors and scissors to every company that could not be lined up today, as well as a small snack from a confectionery shop in the city, although it was only a small piece, but the grassroots soldiers praised it very well.

"I'm always there to help you men out of your reach." Lulu took off her coat and rolled up her cuffs, this girl worked for Marin today, and won everyone's joy and praise.

Marin smiled and hugged her: "It's hard, and besides, you wear less." ”

"It's okay, the girls in the Northland don't care about the cold."

Lulu said this, but obediently lowered her cuffs and put on her coat under Marin's gaze.

"I'll give you the shower area, show me those guys, and I'll let Fio follow you, and whoever doesn't accept you will smoke whom." Marin gave the girl another insurance, and then felt that he should add a small job to the girl: "By the way, you can arrange the distribution for today's dinner." ”

It used to be all Marlin's work, so let Lulu do it this time - Fio was there anyway, and Lulu, Marin's wife who was beyond the military system, and no one dared to do anything at dinner.

If anyone dared to do anything about it, the angry soldiers would tie them up and drag them to Marinβ€”something that was unimaginable before, and no soldier was in a position to be angry with the ensigns in the logistics department.

But now, when Marin is the true commander here, the soldiers will definitely trust Marin to help and protect them.

Because everyone knew that Marin would really do it - after all, there were already a lot of deaths in Copenhagen.

You see, dead people don't lie.

"Leave it to me! I'll show you the action of the Hagelberry girls. Lulu happily accepted the new job Marlin offered him.

"Then I'll go to the headquarters first, and I'll leave it to you." After Marin finished speaking, he kissed the girl goodbye.

Speaking of which, this girl has become so enthusiastic, is this the mobility of the Hagelberry girl and the simplicity of the northern girl?

With this in mind, Marin came to the command headquarters and found that the younger brother of the Svensson family was reviewing something with a bunch of staff officers.

He glanced at the sand table and saw that it was not the northern terrain, but something like ......, "Are you reviewing my battle to defeat the Black Orcs?" ”

"Ah, yes, Your Excellency, we are very curious about the combat effectiveness of the southern army, the losses are too small, and the results are too great." Link Svensson replied, and then he stepped back in his position, "Your Excellency, could you give me some pointers?" ”
