Chapter 24: Don't Shoot, You Have to Promise
"The East Ikra will definitely attack the Venada if they attack, and they are not fools." Cuarón turned his head, "Miss Angelyl, are you cold?" ”
Angelyl wrapped herself in a big coat.
"I'm not cold...... Mr. Caron, why does my sister think that the two of us can solve these East Ikras, is she overestimating the two of us? ”
Caron looked down at the valley below, and the two of them had set out from Turin all the way north, and now rested in the Hikaru Mountains, where not only the remnants of the Okassimite Empire, but also the Eastern Ikra and Venada people, were indeed a good place to get news, except for a little danger.
"On the surface, the war is not as severe as you might expect."
Cuarón said in a deep voice, "The Ocassim Empire has reached the point of fighting on its back, and Commander Ariel has led the Frostwolf Army back to Pinto from the north, and if the East Ikra people do not transfer the Emerald Army entrenched in the north, they will not be able to take advantage of the Frostwolf Army." ”
Angelyl looked puzzled.
"The Emerald Army?"
"During the Ikra Empire, the Frostwolf Army and the Emerald Army were both part of the same army, and they were tasked with garrisoning the northern border to defend against the dragons."
Caron stretched out his hand and pointed to the north, "But now the situation is different, Turin is two thousand kilometers away from the north, in the current situation, even if Aliel withdraws the army to garrison Turin, the threat posed by the dragons is not great, but the East Ikra people are different, their capital Naijie is only three hundred kilometers away from the north, and they will never dare to transfer the Emerald Army out of Turin." ”
Angelyl had a look of abrupt realization.
"So we've won?"
"To be exact, you can't lose."
Caron shook his head, "But because of the omen of the star map, the East Ikra people are definitely prepared this time, and there will definitely be variables in this war, and our task is to solve this variable." ”
"That's right."
Angelyl answered, unbuttoning the top of the big slug and propping her hands on the edge of the cliff, dangling her legs while looking at the starry sky.
Tomorrow is March, the day of the attack of the Eastern Ikras, heralded by Tutan, who, according to intelligence from the Military Administration, have been hiding in the Hikaru Mountains.
The two of them were at the highest point of the mountain range, and as far as the eye could see, the whole mountain was peaceful, but this peace did not last long.
Accompanied by the fluttering sound of startled birds, a noisy sound came from the valley under the feet of the two, and Angelil looked down and vaguely saw the fire burning in the valley.
"The time has come."
Without waiting for Angelil to reply, the manservant leaped towards the valley below, and his figure quickly shrank into a small dot and merged into the firelight.
As an upgraded Venada Steel Spirit, after nearly a week of recuperation, Caron's desire to kill has been stacked to the extreme, and he now just wants to kill a few people at once.
"You have to investigate and investigate the intelligence......"
Angelil still remembered Angelil's admonition, but Caron had gone down, so she had to turn into shrums and follow Caron.
The distance was fleeting due to gravity, with Caron slamming straight to the ground and Angelyl crouching on a tree branch.
The firelight was not the armies of the East Ikras or the Venadas, but a group of Okasim merchants, who were known for their adventurous spirit, but whose fearlessness in choosing to go north when the two empires were at war was truly admired by Angelyl.
What surprised her even more was that the Okasim merchants were surrounded by bandits, who were understandable natives of the Hikaru Mountains, who had no financial resources these days, and were forced to take risks at this inopportune time.
Now the two groups were staring at Caron with shocked eyes, and the man fell from an unknown height, and fell straight beside the campfire, and it stands to reason that he should have fallen into a pile of minced meat.
What's even more strange is that not only did he not die, but a carp jumped up!
Cuaron glanced at the field, with a hint of loss in his eyes, but he still firmly fulfilled his duties as a messenger of justice, "I am the Imperial Baron, in charge of the security of the Hikaru Mountains, which caravan are you?" ”
The merchant leader was a round man, and he had only just left Turin, and he was wrapped in heavy felt, and he looked like a tumbler from a distance. Hearing Cuarón's words, he walked over quickly.
"Big ...... My lord, we are hired by the Calema Chamber of Commerce, and this time we are going to Flores to buy a batch of white jadeite. ”
"Flores."
Cuarón stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, if memory serves, there is indeed a chamber of commerce in Turin that has been entrusted by him to go to Flores, a city north of East Ikra to buy a batch of white jadeite, but he didn't expect to run into it here.
After calming the leader of the caravan for a moment, Caron turned and looked at the bandits.
"You're Okassimites too?"
The bandits didn't seem to want to answer Caron's question, they shrank their formation, and then raised their rifles.
"I advise you not to do this,"
Cuarón narrowed his eyes, "You should be well aware that the mountains are full of Venadas and East Ikras, and if you attract them here, you will surely die." And I just politely ask you to leave here, and I will not be guilty of your illegal actions. ”
A grim voice rang out behind Caron.
"Who the hell are you?"
Cuarón turned, and he quickly caught the man among the bandits.
"Baron of the Empire, Sheriff of the Hikaru Mountains appointed by Empress Atifa, Caron Vegeta."
"Huh,"
The man sneered, "Even women can ride on your heads, this empire is really terrible!" ”
The man stepped out of the crowd, and Cuarón noticed his clothes, which were the military uniforms distributed by Okasim, which seemed to be the standard of six or seven years ago. Regardless of the empire, soldiers are treated far more than civilians, and as an Okasim soldier, he has no reason to be a bandit in the Hikaru Mountains.
Cuarón said with a sudden realization.
"Are you a deserter?"
It's a shameful past, the man said angrily.
"What's your business, if you don't want to die, get out of here!"
"I can get out of the way."
Cuarón nodded hurriedly, "But you have to promise me that you don't shoot, don't shoot a single shot." ”
The man pointed his rifle at Cuarón's head and said impatiently.
"Get out of here!"
Cuarón raised his hands and stood in a row with the caravan leader.
"I'll leave here with this caravan at once, but you must not shoot, you have to make sure that it is not only for you and me, but also for the sake of the Okasim Empire."
Like all enemies, no one could stand this noisy manservant, and the bandit commander roared as he snatched his man's rifle.
"I mean you get out of here, these fat sheep stay!"
Caron hesitated.
"Sir, I think you misunderstood me, I meant that I left with this caravan......"
"Bang!"
Shots rang out, bullets piercing Caron's dark green suit.
He staggered back two steps, lowered his head, and stared incredulously at the black mark on his chest.
