Chapter 1228: After the Great War
Collison patted Lynch on the shoulder and sighed, "Live well... Unlike those of us who are suffering on the edge of the city, they are directly in the center of the city around the city lord's mansion! In the end, this group of people, like us, stripped the dead soldiers' clothes and infiltrated the city lord's mansion. That inner fort, you also saw it, there are eight floors up and down, and the highest three floors have steam cannons, plus walls and moats, it can't be attacked at all. It is said that the group of men in black attacked several waves at the beginning, and then basically besieged but did not attack. In the end, the team led by Merkelson not only did not attrition, but also did not even get injured! ”
"Special! This... It's so unfair! Lynch got angry again, "We fought hard, and he was so good that he didn't even lose a hair!" If he hadn't arranged for us to guard that big bald head, how could we have been blocked in front of that house! ”
"He can't help it." Collison shook his head, "This is the arrangement from above, and he can only obey." When we were buying grain before, our performance was too eye-catching, which made some people in the cake layer not feel good. But it was just a little bit of a look, and no one would have thought it would turn out like this. ”
Lynch was silent, Collison thought for a moment, and continued to speak: "Forget it, don't think so much, we still have something to gain from this operation." Oswell's wife and a pair of children had been found in a warehouse not far from the house, in a hidden cellar. As for Oswell, his sister and youngest son were basically burned to death in the mansion. However, our task is still completed, and this merit will be recorded for us by the organization. ”
"What's the use of that... Lynch looked at the sky blankly, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone else is dead, Will, Drey, Jones, Ryler, all dead, they are all dead!" Just because the people above wanted to teach us a lesson, and they took a useless person in charge, they died meaninglessly! Even though their abilities are so low that they drive me crazy and make me curse every day! But.... ”
"That's it! That's enough! Collison stopped Lynch's complaints, took a few deep breaths, and then spread his hands and said, "Okay, Lynch, strictly speaking, we don't know them well, and even you may not have as deep a relationship with them as I have, after all, there are a few bastards, and they still owe me money for drinks!" ”
Lynch gave Collison a roll of his eyes, then turned around, turned his head, and stopped talking to his old partner.
Collison didn't care, and continued to say to himself: "Okay, Lynch, if you enter this business, you have to be ready to die." We swore an oath, do you remember? ”
"We are the currency in the hands of His Majesty, and some people are more capable, like Kintal, and they will not use it easily. Like the two of us, that's probably only at the level of Yinsel, and as for the recruits and old fritters who died in the team, they are just a bunch of coppertels. Unless we retire or die, it is our life, and it will always be in the hands of His Majesty. As soon as there is a need, he will use it, sometimes he will make it, sometimes he will lose it, as this time, like you said, they are of low value, but they should not be wasted in such a senseless way. ”
"But, Lynch, whoever he is, and how valuable he is, will always be useful, and when the time comes, the fate of Quintal and Silver Thal will be the same as that of the lowest bronze tower. We are all the same, we all have the day we die. We don't know if our lives can be exchanged for a relatively cost-effective result, so we can only struggle to make our own value better reflected, that's all. ”
Lynch turned over, sighed, then looked at the old man with helpless eyes, and said with a smile: "Ha, you always have one set of great truths after another." I can always think of the best words to numb myself and persuade me more. ”
"But, seriously, Collison, don't you have a trace of remorse or anger about this operation?" Lynch stared straight at Collisson.
Collison widened his eyes, shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently, "Hey, old man, honestly, I'm getting angry right now, you know?" Merkson, that old guy, not only did he not get his ass bitten, but he also got a commendation! ”
"What the hell!!" Lynch's eyes widened, "This old thing can still be commended!" This time, when there was such a big mess in the city and almost the whole monarch was destroyed, he could still be rewarded! ”
Collison shrugged his shoulders again: "There is no way, after this bastard found out that the Maharaja had entered the city, he took the initiative to reveal his identity to the Nisco family and took them out to surrender!" Tsk, this old thing has vicious eyes, it is estimated that in the few days that he was surrounded, he had already discovered the weak posture of the other party! Tut-tut, it is said that you will have to be promoted three levels in a row when you go back! ”
"Special! Forget it, I can only pray to the god of light and let this bastard choke to death while nibbling on bread! Lynch sighed.
"Hahaha! You are not praying ... Collison said with a smile, and then, he saw that Lynch's heart knot had been untied, and hurriedly continued to tell interesting stories: "Hey, about Oswell's big bald head, I have a bit of news here that has been ordered to be shut up, do you want to listen to it?" ”
"Don't, it's all ordered to be sealed... It's classified, right? Lynch frowned and looked at Collison, not quite understanding how his usually steady partner suddenly lost his mind.
"Well,It's just a broken affair between the nobles.,It's not really a secret.。。 Hawkers,That thing of the aristocracy, please,You know,It's not easy to get out.。。。 Collison blinked.
"Then you want to hear it?" Lynch became interested and hurriedly asked.
"That dead bald head has a leg with his beautiful sister, and his youngest son was born to both of them." Collison whispered.
"Shhh Lynch was shocked, then remembered a blind spot, and asked: "But there has been no news about this, and his wife can stand such a thing?" And I remember him and his wife, as well as his wife and his sister, the relationship between the three of them is quite good, right? ”
"Hey, it's because his wife and his sister were a couple when they were at the Women's Noble Academy." Collison continued to make a big splash.
"I'll go ... I took it... Lynch shook his head, "Tsk, it's not a bad thing among the nobles, it's more varied than the common people." Well, his wife and children have already been sent to the royal city? ”
Collison nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty's pardon has come down, not only them, but also the Nisco family, are no longer held accountable for the rebellion, but all the blame is put on the dead Wolf, as well as the cult." They would be escorted to the royal city, and then they would find a decent house to settle in, and they would have to stay there for the rest of their lives. ”
"It's a good ending... Lynch sighed, "So the war is going to end soon? Presumably, with these two examples, the other cities will soon submit to His Majesty's grace. ”
"Yes, the Maharaja's advance is very fast, because of the emergence of unexpected cult forces, coupled with the terrible plague, His Majesty does not intend to let this war drag on, he intends to end this war before the New Year, even if it is at the risk of winter temperatures."
"The Maharaja led by His Excellency Groni has not used force in these days, as long as he takes the Maharaja to the city, or even as long as he approaches the city, the city will fall immediately, and I am afraid that the war will really end."
After Collison finished speaking, he looked out the window, the sun was already setting in the west, and he had been here long enough.
"Old man, I have to go, get some rest."
Yanna and Scarlet walked on the wasteland on the northern border of the Grande Kingdom, the weather had gradually cooled, and the physical exertion of the two had decreased slightly, Yanna rarely smiled on the way, she looked around, the traces of the road were already obvious, and even saw rut marks.
"Now, Scarlet, how long do we have to get to the royal city?"
Hearing this, Scarlet thought about it and said, "I passed through those two abandoned cities four days ago, well, it should have been developed on the mobilization base before the counteroffensive at that time. It is only about five days away from the Axe Pass, that is to say, we can get to the Axe Pass tomorrow, plus the distance between the pass and the Wangcheng is only about two days, and in three days, we should be able to reach the Wangcheng. ”
"Cut, is it still that long?" Yanna was a little disappointed, and the journey of nearly two months made her very uncomfortable.
"Cheer up, Yanna, we must speed up, enter the palace as soon as possible, and upload the coordinates of the summoning stone, well, wait." Scarlet felt a sound behind him, and he couldn't help but turn around and probe it with his psionic energy.
"Yanna, it looks like we're lucky, we have a ride."
Not far away, a horse-drawn carriage drove slowly down the avenue, and from the direction, it was speculated that it should be heading to the pass. Yanna couldn't help but shout at the carriage, which woke up old Joel, who was a little dozing.
This sixty-year-old man, looking at the two girls in the distance, couldn't help but feel a little absurd, and once thought that he hadn't woken up yet. The two girls, who looked to be in their twenties, wore a gray and blackened burse pullover, wide-legged linen trousers that made it easy to move underneath, and black cloth shoes on their feet. The shabby air came to his face, and Joel secretly screamed bad luck, and drove to the two of them in the carriage.
"God of Light, how can you two dolls be on this wasteland? What about your family? ”
"We don't have a family, we're going to Wangcheng, uncle, can you give us a ride?" Yanna said with a smile.
Joel got closer and saw that both girls were good-looking, the little one was cute, the tall one was cold, and the shabby outfits did not diminish their charm in the slightest. This made him even more headache, if he left these two children in the wasteland, not to mention the beasts, it was a passer-by, and he had a crooked mind, and these two babies would suffer.
"Get in the car, I'll take you to the gate. Oh, my broken car is pulling firewood for the axe, and I have to wronged the two of you to sit on the firewood. Joel beckoned the two to get into the carriage.
"Thank you, uncle!" "Thank you."
"Oops, I can finally rest~" Yanna lay directly on the firewood, while Fei'er on the side sat quietly on the side.
