Sitting on a cart, Eren rested the Red King between his legs and looked at the street that had turned into a slaughterhouse. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The Info soldiers are dismantling the corpses of Ice Wind in the streets, and Ice Wind's scales and bones are good materials for making good armor, especially its bones. When the soldiers washed the bones with water, they were seen to have blue silk wrapped in the gray of the bones. The inside of Allen's severed head was covered with blue grains.
It's a pity that at that time, Eren used the death hymn to hurt a lot of wounds on its body, and the ice wind was invaded by the rotten force, and the bone quality had dropped a notch. Just think about how hard even the Red King couldn't stab through his brain when he was in Tallinn Aisha. Besides, if it weren't for the Death Hymn weakening Ice Wind's bones, Eren might not have been able to cut off its head.
Even so, the blacksmiths of Dragonlance were quite satisfied with the bones and scales of Ice Wind. In addition to the fact that Ice Wind's Claws are a good material for weapons, its flesh can be used to feed fierce beasts, and even the blood that is released and stored in jars can be sold for a good price. However, the most valuable thing was the large and small dozen source force crystal nuclei taken out of the ice wind's body, the largest one of which was nearly half a meter in diameter, and the smallest one was also the size of a fist. These crystal nuclei contain very pure frost source power, which is an important material for making the famous armor of divine weapons, and it is also the highest level of alchemy raw materials. It is no exaggeration to say that the value of these dozen crystal nuclei is more than the rest of the Ice Wind corpse combined.
Alan had already figured out how to distribute it, and he planned to keep the crystal nucleus of Ice Wind for himself, whether it was for Lucy to make special bullets or to sell them for a profit. As for the rest of Icewind, it was left to Dragonlance to make up for their losses. It's just that broken streets can be repaired, and collapsed buildings can be rebuilt. But the people who died in the battle last night could never come back, and Alan could not forget the images of the children crying and the wife's calling when the families of the dead brought back their bodies.
For him, those people may be just strangers who have not known each other for a day, but for those families, they are the pillars. Now that there are no pillars, their families are crumbling. Now Alan wondered if the cavemen would have attacked the town if they had left yesterday?
"What are you thinking, Master Allen?"
At some point, Father Miró sat down next to him, and Alan said truthfully, "I wonder if things would have changed now if I had made another choice?" Father, this should not have been their war, and I brought it upon them. ”
"That's what happened." Father Miró narrowed his eyes: "Sometimes I wonder if Archimedes is your father. Because the two of you have very different personalities, if it were the man I knew, if this happened to him. He'd say these people owe it to me, otherwise it wouldn't have been as simple as just dying. ”
Miro spread his hands and said, "Of course, that bastard is an arrogant and selfish guy in the first place. ”
Alan smiled.
"Master Allen, I often say that the Lord is omnipotent. But I'm actually quite skeptical about this. He made many prophecies, some of which came true, some of which were not. So you see, even the gods can't fully see what's happening in the next second, let alone you. Life is always faced with countless choices, and each choice cannot be called absolutely right, let alone absolutely wrong. Fr. Miró stroked the cross on his chest: "All we can do is listen to our inner voice and make one of our choices." ”
"Like what happened yesterday, yes, maybe if we choose to leave, the cavemen will bypass this town and continue to hunt us down. But it's also possible that they attacked the town by the way, and without our help, the town would be history forever. But this is a hypothesis after all, and even the gods can't give an answer as to which outcome will happen. Father Miró looked at the townspeople: "Look at the present, you have chosen to stay. Yes, some people died because of it, but at least the town is still there. At least the children of the dead survived, and they would have been grieved, but the bravery of their fathers will be remembered and inspired to become men like their fathers who could die defending their homeland. Perhaps because of this, in ten years, the town will have a new group of brave and fearless men, who are the hope of continuing the town. ”
"You have brought calamity and planted hope. Which is more important is up to you. The priest patted Allen on the shoulder and walked away with a smile.
Eren sat in the car for a while, suddenly reached out and patted his face, and then picked up the Red King and jumped off the scooter. At this time, Mayor Towns, Pyro and several other men came over, and Alan took the opportunity to tell him about the distribution of Ice Wind, and after saying that, Alan said, "I know that this will not completely make up for your losses, but at least it will solve some of the difficulties in front of you." ”
The mayor sighed and said, "Since the incident has happened, now that we blame you, my lord, the dead will not come back to life." Besides, even if there is no last night, it is a question whether our town can continue to exist. ”
Alan heard what he said, frowned and asked, "Why did the mayor say that?" ”
"For the Marquis of Peel, not long ago, ordered us to move from town to town, but did not compensate us with any land. The marquis warns us that if we do not do what he says, then he will resort to force. It is impossible for us to move away, once we come to this town, this land was given by the founding emperor of the year, for the purpose of our Gaocang tribe to multiply. Second, the heroic spirits of our ancestors are buried on this land, and it is even more impossible for us to walk away. So it was only a matter of time before we clashed with that marquis, and even without the cavemen, it was a question of whether our Dragonlance Town would be able to continue to exist. ”
"And that kind of thing?"
Pyro nodded, "Before the Lord came, in fact, we were already preparing to send people to the Imperial Capital to ask His Majesty Targario to administer justice. It's just that our men here rarely leave the town, and the furthest they have been to the town of Spirits. I heard that the adults are also going to the imperial capital, so I don't know if it's inconvenient for Fang to take us? ”
Alan nodded: "No problem." He sneered again: "Marquis Peel, speaking of which, Abel and the others set off before it was dark yesterday, but until now, there is no sign of half of the reinforcements...... Rest assured, I will take care of this for you. Whether it will succeed is not guaranteed, but I am sure that it will definitely not make the Marquis of Peel any better. ”
Mayor Marew and Pylo were overjoyed, even though they had decided to ask God for an explanation. But in the end, they are just civilians, and it is still unknown whether they can see Targario the Great. Now that Allen, the viscount of the empire, has come forward to interfere, he naturally has a little more hope.
It wasn't until noon that Marquis Peel's army arrived at Dragonlance slowly, and it was still a vanguard of five hundred men. When Alan met Abel and Mira, they both looked angry. Abel was even more angry: "My lord, that Marquis of Peel is too hateful. We sent your letter, but although he promised to send troops, he was slow to do so. I urged several times, and the answer I got was that the army was gathering. It wasn't until dawn that the 500 pioneers left the city. Five hundred, only five hundred, this point of people even have to gather for a night, isn't this perfunctory what are we? ”
Alan replied, and one of them sneered: "What does a civilian understand? You deserve to question the Marquis, and that alone is enough to send you to the gallows! ”
Abel's face flushed, and he was about to argue. Eren reached out and pressed his shoulder before looking at the man. It was Peel's general, named Harley. is in the prime of life, but the bags under his eyes are blue, and the source force breath on his body is weak. Not to mention that Alan's Regers or Lola can easily defeat him, even Hagus in the Borderlands can defeat him. Alan looked at the so-called legion commander and said lightly: "I think Abel is not wrong. Commander Harley, please tell me why it took a night to gather an army of 500 men. If my regimental commander does this, it will be enough for me to cut off his head if it delays the military plane! ”
Captain Harley said slowly: "Your Excellency doesn't know, the territory under the Marquis has always been peaceful. The soldiers are usually at home, and the city is there, so it is indeed difficult to assemble. ”
"So Captain Harley wants to tell me that the Marquis of Peel's barracks doesn't even have five hundred standing troops?" Alan sneered.
Harley coughed dryly, but instead of answering, he said, "Now that Lord Allen's crisis has been resolved, then there is nothing to do with us here. If Lord Allen doesn't have any orders, then we'll take our leave. ”
"Wait." Alan stopped him and said lightly: "Please tell the Marquis of Peel that I will discuss this matter in Ollista." ”
Captain Harley didn't respond directly, but just bowed and said, "I'll bring my lord's words word for word." ”
Then the cloak left the town with ten guards.
Peel's army came slowly, but quickly when it went. Alan stood on the wall and watched them leave, smacking his fist lightly against the wall. The Marquis of Peel made it clear that he was acting against the Constitution of the Empire, and he did not intend to support it sincerely, so he simply made a big fuss about the timing of the troops. I don't know if Peel's move was his own idea, or if someone behind it was instructed.
Alan thought about it and asked Able to call Edward. Peel set him aside, and now Alan can't deal with him, but he can cause him some trouble.
"I hope you don't really have five hundred troops in your barracks." Alan muttered.
