Chapter 209: A meager family background
Rao is experienced in a hundred battles, and I have seen a lot of all kinds of amazing scenes, and at this moment, I was still a little shocked by Sylvia's words, and I couldn't help but look up and stare at her as if I had just met. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Look at the look in your eyes, you want to ask if I'm still a part-time pirate, right?" Sylvia couldn't help but laugh.
Is my mind so obvious? I did think so, but I wasn't going to ask. According to Sylvia's temper that she puts on her face for everything, I can see it if I look closely.
So after looking at it for a moment, I came to the conclusion, "Looks like you're just going to be a pirate, and you haven't really done it yet." "Fenris is a world mostly covered in oceans, and pirates seem to be a part of their daily lives. Barbarians, that's how they rob each other to live, understandable.
"Then I'm really going to be a pirate in the future, will you accompany me?" She came down and stared into my eyes, her forehead almost touching mine.
This question...... It's really hard to answer. Although I was also born in the wild world, my hometown is not as harsh as Fenris, and it can be regarded as a primitive plantation, far from the point where I can't live without looting, and the relationship between the tribes is generally relatively harmonious, so I am not mentally prepared to understand and participate in person.
"Ha, you hesitated. However, at least there is no direct opposition, which is good. "She was about to straighten up when I suddenly reached out and wrapped my arms around her neck, forcing her to bend down again, her forehead pressed directly against mine.
"Army robbery, is that called robbery? Politely called requisitioning supplies, is it rude......" I said.
Naturally, she picked up, "You heretic! Traitor! Your life and your goods are mine! Is that so? Are you familiar with this? ”
"It's just not a stranger." Besides, do you need me to do it myself?
She didn't say anything more, just wrapped her arms around my neck, her forehead a little off, and then slammed into me and crushed it hard.
I left with a slimy feeling, as if the wound that had not been scabbed over for a long time was bleeding a little. Sylvia noticed something strange too, touched the blood on her own forehead, licked her fingers, and lowered her head to lick mine.
An inexplicable impulse dominated my body, and I reached out to grab her waist and hugged her tightly, intending to get closer, but her other hand pressed my shoulder and prevented me from standing up, and instead whispered in my ear: "Ilshan, what is the most dangerous situation that has befallen you?" ”
High Demons? And it seems to have been more than once...... But I knew she wasn't looking for that answer.
She continued, "Have you ever been cut off from reinforcements, without supplies, with no way out, and unable to find an enemy even if you wanted to fight, as if you had been abandoned by the whole world...... That situation? ”
There have been a few times when I was left alone on the battlefield, but as long as the planet was not completely abandoned by the Empire, no matter how desperate I was, I could still wait for reinforcements after all. I guess that's not what she's talking about, but for the Navy, it's a Trek.
"The most dangerous enemy is behind." She sighed, pushed me to the side, and sat down in a chair to huddle with me, "The backer has collapsed, the boss does not want to see me, and he will be assigned some insignificant tasks, and there will never be any hope of promotion, and the military salary will be in arrears, and the supplies will be withheld, and even the fuel for the spaceship will not be enough, so that it will not be able to sustain itself without smuggling and robbery...... Do you think Fenris are fierce and aggressive? Our favorite is to get drunk and sleep by the fire, if there is any other way to live, who likes to fight with beasts. ”
"yes, who will fight mammoths until the coldest winter." Although the topic was awkward, I was able to find a common language.
My compliment didn't have the desired effect, she shook her head unceremoniously, "No, you don't understand, you've always been just a soldier, even if you're older than me and have a higher rank than me, you've always treated yourself as a soldier, you think you can keep fighting as long as you have food and ammunition." I'm different, since I became a captain and led a fighter team, all I needed to think about was how to fight for more fuel and ammunition, compete for more valuable recruits, and compete for those opportunities that are easy to make meritorious contributions. Even if my father was the captain of the ship, these things were not so easy to assign. You're only responsible for yourself, and I've got to worry about a whole team, and that's the difference between us, you know, Lieutenant Colonel? ”
These words revealed my essence mercilessly, leaving me speechless and could only continue to echo, "Yes, my general. ”
I have never been a real officer, but I have served many officers, but those who are more successful may not be particularly able to fight, but they are definitely good at collecting military quartermasters, whether it is asking for a superior with a dead face, brazenly robbing friendly troops, or even collecting everything that comes across like a squirrel, cleaning the battlefield like a scavenger and taking all the available supplies - it is an unbreakable truth that war is fought by logistics.
As a wizard, I can't gather people like a real military officer to build up my team, but at least when it comes to stockpiling supplies, I'm confident that I'm the best in the Empire. Not to mention anything else, just for military rations, drinking water and medicine, I hoarded enough supplies for a company of hundreds of people to use for a month. In my usual concept, bringing a company is basically my upper limit......
Thinking of this, I had to seriously face the very serious question at the moment, "Sylvia, how many people are on our ship now?" ”
"It's more than seven hundred, the specific number hasn't been counted yet." Sylvia was clearly not happy with the number, "even if these people were all well-trained crew members......"
"Wait, let's think about food first." I interrupted her, "How long do we have enough food and water?" ”
"I haven't had time to count it yet." Sylvia was ashamed.
"I took a general look, and the Silent Blade gave us more than ten tons of food, and considering that everyone is busy right now, we may have to consume a ton of food a day. Even if we add the family money I have accumulated for a long time, we will not be able to support it for more than half a month. And we can't expect others to support us any more. "It's bad news, but I have to say it.
Sylvia sighed, "Fortunately, our ship will be up and running in ten days at most, this is a personal guarantee from a master foundry." As for the problem of water, in fact, in space, it is still very easy to find water. ”
Although the future is still uncertain, at least for a while, we don't have to worry about the most basic survival issues, which still makes us feel a little more relaxed.
"Let's eat." I took the lunch box off the stove and let it cool slowly.
