Chapter 31: Three Punches
It took a full day for Oreo to wake up from his deep dreams.
He sat up from his bed, sweating profusely and staring to his left and right.
Everything that happened yesterday had turned into a trance memory, and only the emotions that were haunting his heart, it was the dragon's blood that was eroding his memory.
"Mr. Oreo......"
Angelyl muttered, "You're awake." β
She looked at the girl beside the bed, and she had shallow dark circles under her eyes.
"Angelil, are the soldiers dead?"
"Soldiers?"
Angelyl looked at the door and said.
"The soldier was killed by Mr. Caron."
Hearing the conversation, the tall manservant walked in through the door, and he walked to the bedside, and spoke with concern.
"Young Master, you've finally woken up."
Oreo nodded, blinking his eyes vigorously, not knowing if it was an illusion or something, he felt the world in front of him turn red.
CuarΓ³n said as he sat down slowly, staring into Oreo's eyes.
"The Venada are gone, we can go back to Turin."
"Let's go?"
Oreo narrowed his eyes, "They retreated?" β
Caron nodded.
"The Seven Cities of the East have been withdrawn, but they will definitely hold on to Lucasor."
"Is that so?"
Oreo nodded, reaching for his waist, the cane still there.
He lifted the quilt and put on his leather boots, and Angelyl quickly helped him up.
The legs are a little weak, but they are nowhere near enough to be supported.
He motioned for Angelyl not to touch her, and walked out of the tent quickly.
It seems that a few people are in the military camp of Demar City, and it just so happens that he can bring back the people of Housanjie together.
CuarΓ³n followed the two of them, and as Oreo strode towards the council chamber, he stepped over and pulled the door open for them.
Everyone in the council hall was talking, and when they saw Caron, Chenino hurriedly introduced.
"Alessi, this is Mr. Caron."
Alesi naturally knew about Caron's famous name, so he quickly stood up and greeted him respectfully.
"Your Excellency CuarΓ³n, I've heard of you."
CuarΓ³n nodded slightly, turned to the side, and made way for Oreo.
"This is my young master, Oreo Pravor."
He went on to introduce Oreo.
"Young Master, this is the Deputy Commander of Chenino, and the Commander of Gaia sent him and me to gallop to the aid of Demar City."
Oreo nodded and sat down, with Caron and Angelyl standing behind him.
Looking at Caron's respectful attitude, although he had never seen this man before, all the generals knew that he was the most important of the three.
"Deputy Commander Alessi."
Looking at Alessi, Oreo said straight to the point.
"I'm here this time to take all the five thousand recruits of the Thunder Lion Army away."
β......β
Seeing that Alessi was speechless for a while, Chenino hurriedly said.
"Although the Thunder Lion Army is ......"
Oreo waved his hand.
"These are not the real Thunder Lion Army, they are strong men captured from Housan Street, in order to replace those noble young master soldiers who should have come to the battlefield to die."
Chenino looked around, then said suspiciously.
"Alessi, where is Deputy Commander Macon?"
Alessi didn't dare to say anything, he looked straight at Leyard, who was badly wounded.
Leyard coughed twice, then said.
"Commander Macon...... Hearts of the Okassim Empire...... At the first time when the soldiers attacked...... He ...... He ...... Ahem, ahem. β
Chenino said incredulously.
"Already dead?"
Riyadh nodded sadly.
"Yes."
Although there was a dark feeling in his heart, Alessi still made a shocked expression, you must know that a general was lost in Demar City, if this was done by the young masters of the Thunder Lion Army, his life would not be much better.
But according to this man's meaning, if those Thunder Lion Army were all replaced, Macon's death would definitely involve more things
- But this thing definitely has nothing to do with the Griffin Army.
Alessy said loudly.
"Lord Oreo, it's true that the Thunder Lion Army is a group of young master soldiers, but do you have any evidence to prove this?"
"Of course there is,"
Oreo nodded, "The Thunder Lion Army has five thousand people this time, and the five thousand people are all strong men from my back three streets, if Commander Alessi doesn't believe it, he can draw two soldiers from the Thunder Lion Army to confront each other." β
"What do you mean......"
Alessi said hesitantly, "Those archers are all strong men from the back 3rd street?" But it's not been half a month since the news came out, so have those archers only been training for half a month? β
"Yes, I've only been training for half a month."
After receiving Oreo's affirmative answer, Alessi naturally didn't believe it.
He beckoned to the guards and told him to go to the Thunder Lion Army and draw two random people over.
Chenino looked at Oreo with strange eyes, and his tone seemed to be from the back three streets, but how could the back three streets have such a ruthless character?
There was an eerie silence in the council chamber, and the generals did not dare to come out.
After I don't know how long, there was a knock on the door.
Alessi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said.
"Come in."
The guards walked in with two soldiers, Kostin and Shaman, who were covered in bandages.
As soon as the two of them entered, they saw Oreo, and they all showed excited expressions, as if they would be crowned two centurions in the next second.
With a stumbling step, Costin walked comically.
"Lord Oreo, you let us come...... It's to make us ...... That's it? β
Alessi coughed twice.
"That...... Are you from Back 3rd Street? β
Sharman looked nervously at Alessi, he recognized the badge on Alessi's shoulder, although he didn't know exactly what level Alessi was, but it was definitely a big shot for him.
He immediately straightened up and replied.
"Report! We're back 3rd Street people! β
Alessi glanced at Chenino, who sat up straight and asked.
"You were brought from Turin by Macon two weeks ago?"
Sharman replied in a loud voice.
"Yes! We were recruits from Back 3rd Street by Macon two weeks ago! β
β......β
Reluctant to believe it, Chenino asked.
"Your 5,000 men...... Are they all from the back three streets? β
Sharman looked proud.
"Yes, they're all from the back three streets!"
Hearing this, Alessi showed a bitter expression.
He shook his head and muttered.
"Macon, this brute, is really innocent."
With that, he looked at Oreo.
"Then Lord Oreo, these five thousand men...... I have arranged for you to be sent back to Turin, and on behalf of the Griffin, I thank you for your participation in the defense of Ciudad del Mar...... The Commander of Chenino will return to Turin with you, and we will certainly ask the Imperial Palace for compensation, and we will never let any civilians suffer such grievances. β
Sharman shook his head.
"Report, we're not civilians, we're paupers on Back Third Street."
Costin said hurriedly.
"Do you mean to send us back to Turin...... We are poor people, and we are not qualified to enlist in the army, but we finally have the opportunity to go to the battlefield...... I killed more than thirty Venada cavalrymen, and I was supposed to be a thirty captain, just because I was a pauper......"
Hearing this, Alessi's nose soured, and he naturally knew this brave archer.
The archer's words reminded him of Macon and the five thousand young soldiers who were eating, drinking, and enjoying themselves in Turin.
He clenched his fists and turned to Chenino.
"Commander Chenino, this matter must be known to His Majesty."
Oreo rolled his eyes, his voice was not loud, but it was majestic.
"There are still Venadas in the east, so I won't bother Deputy Commander Chenino, and I will take the people of the back three streets back to Turin."
The generals of Alessi all looked guilty, after all, letting a group of poor people who had only trained for a week fight alongside them was a slap in the face of the Okasim soldiers.
Chenino stood up, and was about to agree to Oreo's request, but Costin said suddenly.
"Lord Oreo, I don't want to go back to Turin...... I managed to kill thirty Venadas, and I'm a thirty-man captain. β
Shaman followed suit.
"Yes, yes, no matter how bad it is, let's continue to be soldiers. Do you know how happy my dad was when I was successful, and finally he couldn't be a hitter...... I don't want to go back. β
Oreo sneered and raised his voice.
"Do you know what you're doing? You have killed thirty people in one battle, and with such excellent combat exploits, you can even become a centurion. β
He gasped and said angrily.
"But this centurion is not you, it is the nobleman you replaced! They are having fun in the brothels of Turin, riding on your sister and even your mother! And here you willingly serve as a scapegoat for them! β
Shouted at by Oreo, Costin was speechless, he clenched his fists, and finally showed a bitter smile.
Alessi wiped the corners of his eyes, he glanced at Chenino, and after getting permission from the latter, he whispered.
"Lord Oreo...... In wartime, each legion has the power to make special moves...... If we don't mind, we can incorporate these brave soldiers into the Griffon Army.
Of course, we won't let go of those brutes of the Thunder Lion Army, and I must find justice for these poor people. β
Hearing this, Costin looked hopeful, and together with Sharman, he stared at Oreo.
The latter waved his hand helplessly.
"It's good to fight for the Empire, and I can't stop you, but something big will happen in Turin during this time, and I need manpower."
After a moment torn between joining the Griffin Army and helping Mr. Oreo, Costin said.
"Then I'll go back to Turin with you."
Hearing this, Alessi showed a surprised expression.
You must know that it was the soldier's enthusiasm that infected him, and he made an exception to let them join the griffin army.
But now because of this man's words, he actually gave up his dream? If he misses this opportunity, he will never be able to join the Griffin Army in his life!
After a long silence, Chenino said slowly.
"That's fine, as a Griffin recruit, you must train in Turin for two months, but after two months, you must come to the East, because you are a rare talent in the Empire."
Oreo narrowed his eyes slightly, he was disgusted by the sudden overtures of others, but he said anyway.
"Thanks to the two of you, then this matter is settled, I still have urgent matters in Turin, and we will leave now."
Chenino nodded.
"I still have some business to talk about with Commander Alessi, please wait a moment while we leave in the afternoon."
"Okay."
Oreo nodded, and led the group out of the council chamber.
After watching everyone leave, Alessi hurriedly closed the door and said quickly.
"Chenino, you're crazy, five thousand people's military expenses, if the Gaia Commander knew about him, he would go crazy!"
Chenino shook his head.
"Alessi, did you see that tall and thin man just now?"
Alessy was stunned.
"You mean Lord Caron?"
"Yes."
Chenino bowed slightly, "You've seen the Venada soldiers, right?" β
"I've seen ......"
"I've seen it."
Under Leyard's curious gaze, Chenino leaned over and said slowly.
"Like a Venada soldier, that man just now can be killed with three punches."
Alessi shuddered and gestured three fingers.
β...... Three punches? β
"Yes."
Chenino looked secretive.
"Just three punches."
