Chapter 225: Withered
"Put away your stinky money!
- Excerpt from Danio's autobiography "The Fastest Runner"
Danio was the only survivor of Osmu's sneak attack.
He caught up with Sebastian under the covert escort of the Royal Court Special Air Service Regiment, and then passed out from exhaustion.
Sebastian had him carried after the group, but as he passed through a valley, the part of the group that was responsible for transporting the wounded was ambushed.
Danio was lucky not to be hurt except for a little skin when he fell off the stretcher.
So he was captured and sent to the church at the foot of Baiyun Mountain as soon as possible.
He woke up soon after a bottle of potion, and although he was still weak, he could do some simple activities.
When Danio saw an elderly elven priest in a green robe standing beside him, he knew he had been captured.
He thought about suicide for a moment, but when the old elf, who was surprisingly powerful, helped him to a table and sat down, and brought him a bowl of fragrant porridge, there was only one word in his mind: "Eat!"
Danio snorted and ate the bowl of porridge, which was almost half of the meat, when he choked.
"Eat slowly. The old elf patted Danio on the back with the right amount of force.
Now Danio began to eat the porridge slowly.
Then the old elf asked pleasantly, "What is your name, young man?"
"Danio. Danio, who was eating porridge, replied, perhaps because of the old elf's kind attitude, which made him subconsciously answer the other party's question.
"Oh," the old elf nodded, "what did you do before?"
"Grow sea grapes and sea rice grass. Danio replied as he ate his porridge.
"Oh," the old elf nodded again, "I heard from my fish-man friends in the East China Sea that the income from growing sea grapes is quite good, and growing sea rice can also feed the family." ”
Danio's face suddenly darkened, "How can there be such a good thing...... Alas, sixty percent of our harvest was taken away, and when the army passed by our house, what was left of the family was almost gone, and if it wasn't for the food for the family, how could I have joined the army......"
Perhaps it was because the old elf beside him was very kind and kind, and no one had ever spoken to him so kindly, Danio poured out the depression in his heart at once.
"Alas......" the old elf sighed, "it seems that your life is very hard, the officials eat with their mouths full of oil, and they want to rob you of your food, and you can only starve." ”
Thinking of the situation at home, Danio also sighed.
It was Sebastian and Bob's team that robbed him of his food, and he somehow ended up under their command when he went to join the army.
Once, when he went out to collect food, Danio saw that the family's home was too difficult, so he only took a symbolic little, who knew that Sebastian found out about it and pulled him to the front of the line and asked Bob to slap him in public.
After Danio finished his porridge, the old elf handed him a cup of soy milk.
The old elf said to Danio, "We elves have no deep hatred with you fishmen, and we get along as well as your brothers and sisters on the other side of the East China Sea. Those who benefit from fighting with us are those who are nobles, and you ordinary people and ordinary soldiers still suffer and suffer......"
Danio slowly drank the soy milk from the cup, and he felt that the old gentleman's words really spoke to his heart.
Seeing that Danio's face changed a few times, the old elf said to him: "Why don't you leave that hellish place, as long as you are willing to do us a little favor, we will let the fish-man friends in the east bring your family and give you a large sum of money, and then arrange for you to live in a place that Osme can't control." ”
When the old elf had finished speaking, he placed a rattan box leaning against the foot of the table on the table, and then opened the box.
......
??? Dividing line ???
After leaving the command, Munch pulled Churchill aside and asked, "Fatty, what the hell are you going to do with your brothers?"
Churchill smiled, "This is the chief giving us credit, I won't hide it from you, only Charles can do this, I'll go to him." ”
At this time, Charles was lying on a blanket in the tent to write letters to Diana, and every once in a while, someone in the army would come to deliver and receive letters. After this battle is over, it will be almost time to send and receive letters.
"Hurry up, there's a mission!" Churchill patted Charles, who was writing a letter, on the shoulder after getting into the tent, and then rubbed his head while he was not wearing a durian skin helmet.
Matthews, Finney, and Dean in the same tent were awakened, and Dean jumped up from the blanket and asked, "Captain, what's the mission?"
"You go back to sleep. Churchill told the other three to continue to rest, "I'll call you when I need you." ”
Pulling Charles out of the tent and leading him to Munch's command tent, Churchill asked him, "Can you fire that golden magic light cannon that night?"
Charles nodded, "Yes." ”
Munch had heard rumors that the golden light cannon had smashed the Fish-Man Prince's base defenses, but he didn't relate the matter to Charles.
"Does that magic have any side effects, will it hurt the body?" Munch asked, the more powerful the magic, the higher the requirements for the caster, and if you force the use of high-level magic beyond the limits of the body, it will hurt the caster itself.
Charles shook his head, "It's not that there are no side effects if you eat more in a row." Why, do you want me to blast through the Fishmen's defenses or kill their commander?"
"Bombard their commander. "Is there any difficulty?"
"Yes. Charles immediately said, "I don't know."
Who is their commander, we have to find him. ”
"Leave this to me. "Is there anything else we can help with?"
Charles shook his head, as long as he found the target, he flew into the sky and bombarded it down, and if it didn't work, he would bombard it again. Not long ago, he had seen the balance of his faith power, enough for him to squander for a while.
But he didn't dare to divulge it, and he didn't dare to guarantee that Queen Victoria would not arrest him to dig a "Charles Tunnel" or "Maccaden Canal" or something like that.
As the saying goes, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door, and her ancestors can let Artoria dig a ditch, and there's no reason why Queen Victoria wouldn't play like that.
In particular, someone is still a junior of Queen Victoria, and the queen makes him feel no pressure to arouse him.
So Charles decided to use the excuse of resting for two days after he was done.
At this time, Sebastian was constantly urging the Signal Soldiers to quickly fix the magic radio receiver, because the current magic radio received meaningless and chaotic signals.
After repairing it for a while, the receiver could only receive bits and pieces of words such as "reinforcements", "fortification", "x days" and so on.
After another half hour, Sebastian gave up. After all, magical communication devices are delicate devices, and it is common for them to be damaged during marching battles. Now that there is a little reply from the headquarters, it can be regarded as knowing that the headquarters has let itself hold on for help.
Not long after Sebastian passed the order to stand by for help, all the lighthouses around Wocaoling were extinguished, and just as a cloud blocked the moon in the sky, the whole area was plunged into darkness.
The fishman, who was already very impatient with the strong light, could only crawl in the grass and lay on the grass to block the light, suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him. The pupils contracted by the strong light could not adapt to the dark environment for a while, and the fish lost their vision all of a sudden.
At the same time, there were bursts of footsteps and shouts in the encirclement, and it was clear that a large number of troops were moving.
The fishmen, who had regained their sight after a long while, formed a tight defensive formation under the command of the officer, and the officers of all ranks were in place.
Just as the fish-people were waiting for the battle, and their pupils dilated to adjust to the darkness around them, the magic lights came on again, and this time the fish-people were blind again.
Within two minutes, the lights went out again, but this time a few lights were left on.
And these lights illuminated Sebastin's location at the same time.
Sebastin's heart jumped, and a bad premonition struck.
In less than two seconds, a golden light fell from the sky.
Sebastian, withered.
