Section 42 Intrigues
Luo Manman played with the dagger, his gaze swept over the row of captives in front of him, and the look in his eyes made them shudder.
A bunch of silly bugs, she thought to herself. None of the captives thought it was unusual for the fortress gates to be opened early, none of them were suspicious that there were only a few men standing guard on the walls, and none of them realized that it was a conspiracy for the enemy to abandon the pursuit.
They arrived at the gate unsuspectingly, following the instructions of the men controlled by the puppet powers, disarmed, and entered the fortress empty-handed, into the trap they had set.
Stupid, all of them are stupid, why is it so difficult for this girl to catch a smarter man for fun?
"You're a little smarter than them, brutal." A voice floated over, "A smart person can detect from a distance that the fortress is abnormal, how can he throw himself into the net and let you be caught?" ”
Luo Manman blushed, "What do I have in mind to you?" He is also a peeping person, and he can't get married when he goes home. ”
Lu Yan made a gesture of picking her ears, pretending not to hear her friend's counterattack. "The regimental commander asked me to guard the prisoners for you, and she said that your team should go to the wall to be on duty."
"Oh, as soon as the coach fainted, she trembled." Luo Man disdainfully stuck the dagger against his thigh and into the gap between the string and his skin. She has a deep prejudice against Yao Yun, which cannot be resolved after one or two heart-to-heart talks. "Little Red! Go and get everyone else up from the bugs! It's time for us to stand on the wall! ”
She turned to Lu Yan again, "Yanzi, go and reply to the fox, just say that I ......, huh?" What are you doing? ”
Lu Yan didn't answer her, and the second-order warrior with the ability to read minds stared straight at one of the captives, who trembled.
"You're a priest, and you've fled with a dozen other people. You choose to walk through the woods in the dark, hoping to escape our tracking. You can't see anything, and you men are afraid of getting hurt, so you forced a slave to explore the way, and she fell off a low cliff and broke her leg. ”
Every word of the woman was like an ice pick, piercing into the captive's heart one after another.
"She's asking you for help, and you don't want to spend your energy on her bones, even if it's just a little bit. You deliberately hypnotized her so that you could leave her on your way at dawn and leave her alone in the woods. ”
The man threw himself to his knees and was about to speak, but the woman stretched out her hands in a flash of lightning, one covering his mouth and the other firmly grasping the back of his head.
"No, don't speak. I don't want to hear you plead, and I don't want to hear you beg for mercy. In your eyes, we women are worthless cheap goods, consumables that can be used and thrown away, this is the truest thought in your heart. ”
The man burst into tears and muttered something. The woman's response was a twitch of the corners of her mouth, and then effortlessly snapped his neck.
"I accept your apology, priest." She exhaled deeply and calmed down, "By the way, you just said that I should give a reply to the head of the regiment, right?" What do you want in return? Brutal. ”
"Huh? Ah, it's okay, just tell her I know. Luo Man waved her hand in a panic, fortunately she couldn't see what I was thinking at this distance, "I'll go on duty." She ran away and disappeared.
The geese are getting more and more scary.
She hurried through the square, through the gallows of men who had lost their roots, through the heaps of several corpses, halfway through her men, and with them to the base of the city wall.
The one in charge of assigning the task was the captain of the Third Regiment, and since Du Yun was seriously injured and fell into a coma, Yao Yun became the de facto supreme commander of the Middle Route Army. She didn't try to strike a balance, and directly delegated the day-to-day management of the fortress to a few of her cronies.
The elite regiment was naturally very unhappy about this, but the head of its own regiment, that is, the commander himself, was lying unconscious in the straw pile of the barracks, and he had no place to complain if he had any opinions, so he could only endure it first.
"Elite?" The captain raised an eyebrow, "North Wall." She was concise and to the point, and she looked very unbeaten.
Luo Manman's anger suddenly became angry, and just as he wanted to scold, he pressed her shoulder with one hand. She looked back and saw that what was stopping her was an unfamiliar face, and her skin was a striking brown color.
'Sister, don't be angry, this kind of villain who pouts his tail when he gets his will is not worth your anger. The other said telepathically. "People have said they want you to patrol the north wall, what are you doing here? Go, go, go. ”
Luo Man shuddered for a moment, and she remembered some of the rumors she had heard. This time I was able to occupy the fortress because of a mysterious woman. She deliberately became a captive, and when she came into contact with men, she used her puppet ability to control them, and finally succeeded with ease. No one except the coach knew what rank this woman was, and no one knew what her name was and what she looked like, but many people believed that she was a third-order person with coffee-colored skin.
Lu Yan is also my friend, don't embarrass her, I'll talk to you later." ’
"Did you hear that? The coach's cronies have spoken, why don't you go soon? "The underwhelming captain poured oil on the sidelines.
Fortunately, Luo Man's fire had been extinguished by the coffee-colored shot at this time, otherwise he would have to reward the other party with a fat beating, even if it caused a big fight between the two field groups. She glared fiercely, turned her head and led her men up the wooden ladder.
"What's long?"
"Shut up, I don't want to hear anyone."
The guards on the north wall were sparse, each more listless and yawning than the other. The power of men has been wiped out in the region, and many women have slackened. After many fierce battles, they were lucky enough to survive, and their minds were full of thoughts that they would have wine today and get drunk today, and they had to have fun in time.
Luo Manman greeted the guards and took over the defense of the north wall. Brown didn't break her promise, and came to her side a moment later.
"Luo Manman, the head of the team directly under the elite regiment, a second-order warrior." She puffed out her chest proudly and saluted with a fist to the comer. Regardless of whether the other party is a third-order person or not, his own prestige must not fall.
"I'm also a second-order samurai, but I don't have an organization, and I directly obey the commander." Brown smiled slightly apologetically, "As for the name, I can't tell you yet, you just call me Coffee." ”
Why can't you tell me your name? Luo Manman almost asked. Recently, she has been with Lu Yan for a little longer than before, and under the influence of her friends, her rectum, which could be inserted into the bottom with a rod, has also bent slightly.
"I know what you're thinking, but I have my reasons, so please forgive me."
Luo Manman came to his senses, "You, your ability is also mind reading?" ”
"Yes," the other party readily admitted, "I have an ability like Lu Yan, and I can read minds." She then put her finger up to her lips and made a silent motion, "I'll tell you about the other abilities when the time is right." ”
"It's really not tiring to talk to you people with knotted bowels," Luo Manman said, "Didn't you just say you wanted to talk to me?" Let's talk about it now. ”
"When this battle is over, we will have ten more regiments. Lu Yan told you that Yao Yun wanted to recommend her to be the head of one of them, right? ”
"Yes, that's what she told me."
"Then do you know that Yao Yun has a rival and wants to occupy a seat?"
"She can occupy it if she wants, and there are ten seats anyway. Give Lu Yan one, and she will pick the rest. ”
"It's not that simple, she's from the High Priest's side, and two days ago she messed up an operation of the Left Army, and the council will definitely not approve her nomination."
Luo Manman was silent. No matter how thick her nerves were, she still knew some things she had to know. The women were now divided into three factions, with the exception of a few neutrals, including the chief clerk, who were under the orders of the high priest and the chief priest.
The two factions are evenly matched, and if either faction wants to do something about it above the other's obstruction, it must seek the support of the neutral faction or compromise with the opposing faction. In this way, no one can help anyone between the superiors, and a delicate symbiotic relationship is maintained in the council.
Ten new regiments were added after the war, which meant that a hundred new seats were added to the upper ranks. It stands to reason that these seats should be evenly wet, but judging from the current situation, the High Priesthood faction will inevitably lose one head in the future, and possibly nine other captains.
"If that opponent can't be the head of the regiment, who will pick up this bargain?"
"Supposedly a neutral, a second-order pawn."
"What are you talking to me about? I'm a rough man. ”
"It's because you're a rough person that I want to talk to you about this, just now, someone wanted to use you to make trouble and force Yao Yun to withdraw his nomination for Lu Yan."
"Lend me? Make trouble? Just now? Luo Man was quite surprised, "The captain who owes the beating?" ”
"That's right, she just wants to provoke you to beat her and provoke a conflict between the three regiments and the elite regiment. Once there is a group fight between the two sides, what do you think the people of the third group will think of Lu Yan, who is good with you? Would Yao Yun dare to risk public anger to recommend her? ”
"But, I, this, she." The poor girl spoke incoherently, her freckled face flushed, "Why did she do that?" What's in it for her to engage Lu Yan? ”
"Because she is also the person of the high priest, she is Zhu Ying's eyeliner in the third regiment."
Luo Manman was dizzy for a while, she was not suitable for this kind of intrigue battlefield at all, compared to it, it was much easier to cut off a man's wrist with a knife.
"Now you get the idea, right? If the high priest loses a regimental leader, he will definitely rack his brains and cause our commander to lose one too. Brown looked at the empty suburbs, "If Lu Yan loses this position, neither we nor the neutrals will be able to pick someone to replace them now." Even if there is a temporary vacancy, it is likely that they will benefit in the end. She took out a wild fruit full of tendrils from her space and nibbled on it, "So I advise you to be more mindful in the future, and don't be impulsive in case of trouble." It's not just for yourself, it's for our friends, our mutual friends. ”
Luo Manman was silent and nodded slowly.
"If you're willing to be persuaded," Brown smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "I'll go first when we have a chance." May you step into the Promised Land in your lifetime. ”
"I also wish you the best of your life to step into the Promised Land." Luo Man said blankly.
At that moment, she really wanted to go home.
