Chapter 57: Recruits (18)
Two more days passed, and the fortress of Velun was already close at hand, and it was not until the evening when he was about to enter the city, and Barrett did not move, which made Ding Candle, who had always been proud of his patience, unable to help but feel a little anxious.
This Barrett won't really give up, right?
If that's the case, she's just afraid that she's really going to start her own alternative, although she is extremely reluctant to come up with the alternative, after all, risking her own life may not be able to do what the other party can do is too passionate.
Time passed minute by minute, and in a blink of an eye, it was dark, and the group finally rubbed against the outside of the Velen Fortress.
In fact, according to the speed of the crowd, it is completely possible to enter the city in the evening, but it is obviously intentional that they have not entered the city until now.
Jonah ordered everyone to camp in the woods outside the fortress, and it was obvious that this arrangement actually made everyone feel incredible, especially Pete, who had been holding his breath, jumped out first and asked, "Captain, aren't we going into the city tonight?" β
"As I said, we're camping out of town tonight." Jonah was obviously a little unhappy with someone retorting and questioning him, but since Pete was a new recruit and it was the first time he had come out with him on a mission, he didn't blame her, and even patiently repeated it.
"But, Captain, we can enter the fortress today!" Pete didn't feel Jonah's tolerance and patience, his worst level in the past few days was no less than Ding Candle, and because his good brother Nolan had a high fever because of his illness, the pressure in his heart couldn't be suppressed.
Jonah didn't speak, just looked at Pete's slightly rounded face with an extremely cold gaze, and he raised his finger to stop Marven from thinking of scolding Pete, and just put on the appearance of a listener.
This indifferent expression was like adding fuel to the fire for Pete, he didn't know why he couldn't stop if he didn't want to continue, he continued to say loudly: "According to our speed, we can enter the fortress today, if we enter the fortress, Nolan can be healed, but captain, why do you keep going around in circles outside the city!" Until now, I still can't enter the city! β
"Are you questioning my decision?"
"I ...... I just think that if it drags on like this, Nolan really can't resist, he's been having a fever for three days! β
"If you can't bear it, you can't bear it, you can't bear this point, what kind of stinger did you come to participate?" Lance, who had not spoken all this time, opened his mouth coldly: "Don't you know that entering the stinger is to give up your life, let alone a little illness?" β
"You! You! How can you talk like that? Isn't Nolan your comrade-in-arms? Such cold words completely angered Pete, and his voice grew higher and higher.
"Comrade-in-arms? Even if you are a rookie, you also want to be my comrade-in-arms, and you don't pee and take pictures! β
"That's right! We are indeed not your comrades......"
Pete's whole face was flushed, and when he opened his mouth, he was obviously about to rush out of his mouth, but at this time, Luke dragged him aside with his neck, and frowned at Lance: "Lance, your words are a bit excessive, Pete is just worried about Nolan, you are too provocative." β
"Cut! I need you as a private to be a good man? Pete's words were successfully interrupted by Luke, so that Lance did not hear any clues, but he still expressed contempt for Luke who stood up for righteousness.
"That's enough, shut up!" Jonah, who had been silent, spoke softly, even if his secret was known to many people present, but his status as a perennial superior still carried a strong oppressive force, but a light sneer made the people on both sides of the quarrel shut up.
That's very inappropriate.
Ding Zhu almost frowned, she had been obeying this person for many years, no matter how much she knew the truth of the matter, she was afraid that her body had already formed a routine, and she suddenly realized that it was indeed a little too naΓ―ve to put all her hopes on Barrett now.
I don't know why, when Ding Candle had this idea in his heart, Barrett suddenly turned his head and looked at her with an extremely deep gaze, which contained a lot of things, Ding Candle was not sure if he understood, but this glance made her more and more uneasy.
"It's so decided, prepare to camp, Marven, Lance, you, as a third-level veteran, can choke with a first-level recruit, where did your usual cultivation go? Where did you go to your usual training?! Jonah had a straight face, and the nasolabial folds at the corners of his lips were extremely deep, and he faced Marvin and Lance mercilessly reprimanded.
Ding Candle's brows became tighter and tighter, and she clearly realized that Jonah's reprimand was definitely not really to give Pete, a first-class recruit, he must have other intentions!
"Since you are not tired and still have the strength to quarrel, then you two will be on duty tonight!" Jona's words were loud and powerful, with an irrefutable majesty on his face.
Marvin and Lance still looked lazy, and even looked at Pete defiantly, with a "what can you do to me" expression.
"Do you hear that?" Jonah frowned, raised his voice again, and angrily scolded the two of them.
"Yes, sir." It was only at this time that Marvin and Lance seemed to be in good spirits and answered Jonah in a proper manner.
All the treatments seemed so fair, but Ding Zhu subconsciously glanced at Barrett, Luke, and Pete, and they also glanced at her at the same time, and there were really all kinds of flavors in their eyes.
In the evening, after the three of Jonah had repeatedly confirmed that their smoke was useful, they finally walked away with confidence, and after they had been gone for about three or five minutes, Ding Zhu felt that she was being dragged by the arm, and she sat up to take a look.
Ooh! Originally, she thought that there were only three people, Barrett, Luke and Pete, but she didn't expect that all the nine people present got up, including Nolan, who had been feverish.
Ding Zhu didn't react for a moment, she looked at Barrett with an expression that you were going to make yarn.
Barrett coughed lightly, as if embarrassed: "Some things are not our personal business, and all the players should know about them." Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at Ding Zhu with an extremely serious expression: "You are right, we are loyal to His Majesty the King, but we need to give an explanation to our hearts and to our beliefs that we are willing to entrust our lives. β
