Chapter Eighty-Five: A Meeting After Many Days
Austin went back to his assigned apartment, which was a small two-story building, and heard that Austin was back today, and all the soldiers had gathered here, occupying the street in front of him. However, no one questioned this behavior, and even military vehicles and horse caravans would choose to take a detour when they arrived here.
Because Austin is back today.
It was a commander who deserved respect throughout the Battle of Hanjiang City, taking the lead, returning with wounds, brave and fearless, and laying the most solid foundation for the advancement of the current battle situation.
Such a fame, which seemed to be built on a transparent bubble, pushed his position in the army to a climax that was almost an idol.
Austin wants to master the military power here to better complete his mission, but this is not what he wants to see, but he doesn't know if the driving force behind it is Yalinda from the military department or Rock from the Inquisition.
If it was Locke, Austin believed in the kindness of his actions, but if it was Yalinda, in addition to boosting morale, it was worth thinking about how much murder was involved.
Austin looked at the expectant faces of the people gathered at the door, mixed with excitement, as if the wolves had seen their wolf king. He had been informed before that although the more than 100 people he brought were seriously injured, none of them died, and for him, this was more gratifying news than the advance of the battle line.
After a few pleasant words with everyone, he accepted everyone's greetings and kindness, and then withdrew from everyone. At this moment, he wanted to see another person, who was already on his way.
Moments later, Austin sat on the couch in the dormitory, apparently knowing that he liked the couch and had found one for him during the war.
Touching the smooth fur-covered armrests, Austin always felt uncomfortable in his heart. Obviously, the other person does not really know himself, and his disgust with others to probe him outweighs his preference for all pleasures.
However, such emotions only quietly swelled up a little in his heart, and then he left it behind. Now the person he wanted to see was sitting across from him, looking at him with a smile, but there was not a smile in the depths of his eyes, like a calm stagnant water, or a deep well where light emerged.
The two had been sitting opposite each other for nearly half an hour, Austin was stunned, and Rhein just looked at him with a smile, and finally Austin sighed and said, "Lord Rhein, long time no see." ”
Rhine rubbed his face, pulled the corners of his mouth and moved his facial muscles, and said, "I thought you were going to sit down like this today...... Ah I didn't blame you, just a good-natured joke, you don't have to call me an adult, just call me by my name. ”
"Okay, Mr. Rhine, I don't think you've played a huge role in this battle these days, right? ”
Rhine nodded, his face looked much more relaxed, and said, "First of all, I have to apologize to you for not coming to visit you in the past few days. However, you're right, that group of wastes didn't even have a single fifth-order person in the battle, if it weren't for my attack, there would have been three fifth-order people at one time, and if they joined forces, I am afraid that they would directly tear through our defense. ”
Austin was stunned and asked, "The three fifth-order are all white-robed?"
Rhine waved his hand and said, "Of course it won't all be ...... There was only one white robe, a melee warrior, and although he was somewhat restrained, it took a lot of effort to clean him up. The other two are both targets of the black mist, and their days are running out, apparently consumables that have been overdrawn. They only have instinctive attacking abilities, which is not too troublesome. ”
Austin expressed his understanding that according to the unwritten rules on the battlefield, the sixth-order selector would not attack ordinary warriors below the sixth-order unless he encountered a threat, and of course, the ability to support and buff was not counted in this.
Attacking a fifth-order or even lower-level warrior like Rhine this time is basically a violation of the unspoken rules on the battlefield, but the other party does not have a strong person who can restrain him, even if the opponent's powerful fifth-order white robe, it seems that there is no extra manpower to put on the frontal battlefield now.
"You have made a great contribution to the spread of the light, and may the Father's gaze always protect you. ”
Rhine stood up and returned the salute, and said, "You still turned the situation around at the beginning of your arrival, otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth after that." ”
The first doubt in Austin's mind had been solved, and he changed to the next topic: "You praised it, I was about to ask this, how did my current reputation come about? ”
Rhine was also at a loss for this matter, and said, "I don't know either. Your reputation probably came out after our defense line advanced to two-thirds of the city, and I have also asked someone to check the exact source, but the resources I can use here are limited after all. Your intelligence officer named Brunei should know a little more than I do, but the news is so scattered that I guess he doesn't know much. ”
Austin's face turned cold, Rhine did not disturb his thoughts, and silence returned to the room. The carved clock on the wall ticked for a long time, and Austin finally spoke again: "Thank you for the news." As long as you can get the job done, it's all trivial. ”
Rhine agreed, adding: "The establishment of the Holy See has been almost done, although the temple and the church have been broken down and burned, but most of the personnel have been preserved. Well, it was the Holy Cavalry and Infantry who were in charge of the guards who died, and the missionaries were preserved. ”
Austin snorted coldly and said, "It's all a group of guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death, do you dare to use such a person?"
Rhine had a smile on his face all the time, and this was no exception, but Austin who watched carefully could still see a faint haze: "Of course, God the Father is tolerant of everything, He tolerates betrayal, and welcomes betrayers to return to His embrace, but such believers will never be valued by God again." ”
This sentence is almost doomed to the missionaries here to do nothing in the future, Austin sighed, the status of the Rhine is like this, and it can indeed determine the trajectory of many people's lives in one sentence. Actually, I can do it myself, but I don't have that strong potency.
In fact, Rhine did not have to report the progress of the work to himself, but since Rhine did so, he showed enough goodwill and respect. Although the Holy Light pastor was sometimes unscrupulous and did not care about fame, Austin felt pleasant and comfortable with him, which is not often seen in contact with job candidates.
