10 Unexpected support

Erin shouted at the guards who had been stationed there before, accusing them of misplacing the horse fence, and the members of the guards who had arrived with Milo looked at everything in bewilderment.

"Erin is a little irritable, aren't you going to accompany her?" Klan told Milo that she had just told her about knowing Sylvia.

"Maybe she has more thoughtful considerations, or those soldiers really put the wrong horse fence, and it's not without reason that she's so angry." Milo knows Irene's temper, even if she is willful, she will not be unreasonable, maybe there is something really wrong with the guards.

"Hey, a woman in love is very fragile and sensitive, you have to protect this relationship."

"Thanks for reminding me, Erin is still very sensible." As if to reassure Klan, Milo said.

Of course, this sentence can't deceive Kelan, she responded: "Emotional things, there are things that reason can't understand." ”

Milo couldn't refute it, and smiled wryly. "I would like to ask," he said, turning back to the subject, "can you tell us about Sevia as a person?" Did he tell you the truth about Irene? ”

"Well, in fact we only exchanged letters at first, my husband and I had studied a comet together, and then Sevia learned about it, so he occasionally wrote to me, begging me to give him the information."

"Please? It seems that he is a man who will stop at all means to achieve his ends. ”

"Well, he is. In his last letter, he invited me to meet with him, and hinted at his assassination of Duke Ryson, probably to threaten me with it......" Kelan's expression was natural when she said these words, without obvious disgust or liking, and it seemed that her opinion and evaluation of Sevia was still very objective.

"Did you agree to meet with him?"

"Well, that's when I went to Split two months ago...... However, the final meeting did not turn out to be very pleasant, and I again refused his request. ”

"Isn't he afraid that you will give him out?"

"He coveted my husband's research, but he also had what I wanted...... It was for this reason that he was confident that I would not reveal his secrets...... He does have a certain amount of courage. From Kelan's narration, it is clear that she admires Sevia a little.

"You can exchange ......," Milo said again.

"My husband's research and I don't share with anyone else, it's a secret for both of us. Even if the information at Severa is tempting, I will not compromise. Kelan said firmly.

"Hmm...... So why would Sevia care about a comet's message? ”

"Maybe you can't think of it, but this comet seems to him—

"—it's related to the Curse of the Stars."

"Sevia is also keeping an eye on the Curse of the Stars?!" Milo asked, shocked.

"Hey, he's paying attention...... A lot of people might want to know about it, but he seems to be very aggressive......"

Melo thought that he didn't have much intersection with Saivia, Kelan and others, but now Kelan's words made it clear that they were all paying attention to this matter, and the other party knew more than herself, would it be that one day, several people would clash and draw swords against each other because of this same purpose, or cooperate with each other and tide over the crisis together? Now, no one can answer Milo's question.

"Don't think about it, it's a priority to solve the current Shaling crisis first." Koran said that she noticed that Erin was still arguing with the guards, "Miss Erin seems to need help there, go show your gentlemanly demeanor." ”

Kelan's words can be interpreted as "Take care of your girlfriend." ”

Milo reluctantly walked towards Erin and the others, and the troubles about the curse of the stars were quickly put behind him, because sooner or later he should have come—whether he was Sevia or Koran, or the wind chimes, or something he knew or didn't know—as long as it wasn't now, it could start at any time.

……

Erin had been arguing with the guards about the placement of the horse bar, because the horse pen was an important facility to protect the musketeers, and its position determined the position of the musketeers, affecting the way the whole team was arranged. The soldiers of the Guards had a more traditional idea, believing that the bars should be placed in front of the array, so that they could directly attack the invading enemy from the front. However, Erin insisted on placing the bars on either side of the array, so that the musketeers could be arranged in two parts—the division of troops had always been taboo for the small number of troops of the Windswept Town Guard.

There are also many people in the musket team who are dissatisfied with Erin, many of whom are those who only practice loading pellets and do not have the opportunity to shoot - obviously joining the musket team but not being able to shoot freely has caused a huge psychological gap in their psychology, so they vent this negative emotion and disapprove of Erin's arrangement.

After Milo arrived, the argument did not end, but fortunately, everyone had a verbal conflict, and Milo first praised the guards and Erin for being very restrained and not causing serious situations like infighting.

"Everyone understands what our goal is this time," Milo said to the guards, and also looked at Erin, "Defending against Shaling's attack is our common goal, the enemy has not yet come, let's mess up ourselves, I don't need to say what the consequences will be." It's normal for people to have different opinions about the formation, but the aim is to defend well. Only two years ago, bows and crossbows were the main long-range weapons, and now we have a list of muskets, how to line up, how to fight, no one is familiar with the method, I don't know. Erin Akayi was once the most famous musketeer in the Sprelet Empire-" Erin smiled wryly when she heard this, this "famous" contained too much information, "I believe everyone has seen her marksmanship and repair skills, which is why we made her the instructor and leader of the musket team, and I hope that everyone will cooperate well, for your own sake and for the sake of your family in Windwalk, defend against the attack of Shaling, and return to Windwalker alive." ”

Milo's words were very sincere, and when the soldiers of the guard heard this, their faces calmed down a lot, and they lost the restlessness they had just now; Erin also bowed her head silently and bowed as if begging for everyone's help. The argument ended, and the musketeers were finally arranged on both sides of the array according to Erin's arrangement, and the soldiers were relocated to the stables.

"That's a good point." Nightfinch was very appreciative of Milo's words just now, and she watched Erin methodically command the guards, and she was sweating for the situation just now.

"Everyone knows these truths, and I just said what was in everyone's hearts." Melo tells Nightsparrow that he doesn't think he has much credit for it, but just did the right thing. He still cares a lot about Irene's state, her mood is still not very stable, and there is also emotional restlessness in the conflict with the guard soldiers. So Milo plans to spend more time with Erin and try to protect her in the upcoming battle.

By noon, the defenses had been set up, and the musket corps were in their positions, ready for the pre-battle exercises. Kelan and Milo came to the hill on the side of the pass, although the terrain is not high, but they can also look down on every corner of the South Changling Pass, once they fight, the battlefield situation is in full view.

The south was as calm as ever, the desperate desert was a hundred miles away, and there was no yellow sand to be seen on the horizon, but in the eyes of everyone, there was still the smell of death.

……

"Tomorrow night?" Melo asked Klan.

"Hey, judging by the speed of the sandstorm, it will reach our location tomorrow night."

Milo thought of the makeshift fort that Parrett had set up nearby, and suggested that Kran could consider facing Shaling there, but Kran shook his head and said, "Too many defenses can make the soldiers lax, and now this direct contact allows us to face the enemy and find their weak points, which cannot be done by cowering in the fortress." And—" Koran took a deep breath, "I want to go deep into the sand while you're fighting. ”

"Deep?" Milo asked again in surprise.

"Hey, the depths. There is a limit to the distance of casting these complex spells, so I wanted to find the magicians who cast the spells, and if they did exist, they should be not far away, and that would be the best time for me to confront them. ”

"But that's too risky, isn't it?"

"If you don't go into the tiger's den, you can get the tiger - that's why I decided to fight here."

"Captain Milo!" After lunch, a patrol soldier approached Milo and reported, "Two mercenary-looking men have come from the north, saying they are looking for a librarian. ”

"Looking for me?" Kelan on the side asked in a slightly surprised way, and the patrolman nodded, "Oh! I see, let them come. Milo motioned for the patrolman to bring the two men over.

Erin seemed to remember something, and guessed, "Mercenary? Could it be ......" Kelan nodded.

Sure enough, two heavily armed Green Dragon mercenaries came up to them, and they saluted politely, but did not speak, as if waiting for the other to ask something first. Both were male, of medium stature, dressed like the usual rangers and mercenaries, with a green dragon embroidered on their chests, which was the hallmark of their organization.

"Haven't you given up spying on me?" Koran asked gently, not seeming to see them as rivals or enemies.

"We have been instructed to assist you, Ms. Koran Dutved." One of the mercenaries said, "The previous suspicion charges against you have been dropped, and we will no longer spy on you." ”

"It's been a pleasure to have you help, and welcome to join us." Kelan opened her arms slightly and made a welcoming gesture to greet the two mercenaries.

"Thank you for your help," Milo quickly stood up and greeted the two of them, "I'm the leader of the guard, Milo Entekoman. ”

"It's an honor to meet the 'Ghost of Tum City', we've heard a lot about you, and you're a man of great courage." The mercenaries communicated with everyone in a friendly manner, but they seemed to be wary and did not give their names.

……

"I heard that the Green Dragon mercenaries are very powerful." Milo and Erin whispered to Koran while the two mercenaries weren't around.

"Hey, it's very powerful, and if I were to deal with them, it would be very difficult." Kelan replied modestly, not hiding his praise for the Green Dragon mercenary. Kran's words also reminded Erin that Wind Chimes had said something similar.

"Where are they?" Erin asked.

"What they're good at is 'mind' magic."
