Chapter 122, a precursor to chaos
readx; Early the next morning, Erwin followed Susan to the hotel where the convoy was staying. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The knights' servants were very surprised that Erwin would come to the door on their own initiative, and at the same time, the gaze that looked at him was extremely complicated.
After all, Erwin had injured so many of them not long ago, and the relationship between the two sides was tense for a while, and he wanted to kill them quickly, and then when Erwin tried to kill Gegil, he was stopped by his followers.
Unfortunately, it turned out that Erwin's actions were correct, and his many reminders were ignored by the servants, and it was not until Gegil's escape that he came to his senses, but he also lost the life of a companion because of this, so his feelings for Erwin were naturally very complicated.
Blue looked at Erwin and Susan and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?" See our jokes? ”
"That's why I said that you are narrow-minded, and you always keep a little lesson and setbacks in your heart."
Erwin completely ignored the complicated gazes of the servants around him, and directly found a place to sit down, and then said to Blue: "No one has time to laugh at you, I came today to discuss things with you, and invite your Miss Julils out." ”
Blue stared at Erwin for a few moments before he sighed in frustration, and he had to admit in his heart that Erwin was actually right.
Blue is indeed a narrow-minded person, whether it is the failure of the ambush in the village that night, or the helplessness of being beaten by Erwin alone in the slums of Shadun City, what he says and thinks in his heart shows that he doesn't care in front of others, but in his heart he has been subconsciously holding a grudge, always thinking about when to find an opportunity to fight back.
"Wait here." Blue dropped the words, and then turned and went upstairs, and it wasn't long before Miss Ecilia went downstairs with Blue and several other servants.
"Meet again, Mr. Elwin, Miss Susan." Ecilia nodded to Elwyn and Susan, and sat down directly across from Elwin. Blue was standing behind her.
"You're welcome, this time I didn't come to you to shout and kill, but I plan to discuss something with you......" Erwin said, he didn't have any impression or feeling of this girl, but was a little interested in her surname, after all, Julils and the royal family of Lourenzo have the same surname, this girl can have so many servants by her side as a guard, then her status will definitely not be low.
It's no wonder that Gegil would target her, this is simply the rhythm of mutant civilian silk counterattacking the royal family's Bai Fumei.
"It's nice to be able to sit down and talk, but before I can do that, I have to apologize to you, Mr. Erwin." Ecilia looked at Erwin solemnly and said, "I'm sorry, if I hadn't obstructed it the night before, you would have caught the murderer, and no one on our side would have lost their names because of this, it's all my fault, if I hadn't insisted on asking Captain Blue to spy on you, there wouldn't have been such a misunderstanding later......"
Erwin and Susan looked at each other, and as soon as he opened his mouth to say something, Ecilia had already continued to herself: "Please don't comfort me, these mistakes prove my naivety and immaturity, and I will always remember it as a lesson......
Erwin sighed and interrupted Ecilia's words: "Miss Julils, I don't intend to comfort you, your naivety and immaturity have nothing to do with us, please decide these private matters privately, we are all short on time now, can we talk about business?" ”
Aisilia was immediately stunned, her whole face slowly turned red, she forcibly endured the surging and extreme shame in her heart, lowered her head to hide the tears in the corners of her eyes, and the fingers under the table stirred the dress vigorously, and said vaguely: "I, I know, you can tell you something." ”
Blue in the back immediately glared at Erwin, who shrugged his shoulders and said that he was innocent.
"You know who Ian is, right?" Erwin said straight to the point.
"Yes." Ecilia nodded, she still had an impression of the open-mouthed militiaman, "It's Gergil's cousin, right, I've seen him twice." ”
Blue in the back also nodded, he had found Erwin through Ian at the beginning.
"It's good to know, just last night, Ian was killed by Gergil." Erwin said in a flat tone, as if he was talking about something inconsequential, but only Susan, who was sitting next to him, could see that Erwin's fists were clenched tightly.
"What?"
Ecilia and Blue were immediately surprised, not by Ian's death, of course, but by the fact that Gergil had killed even his own relatives, who had been his only relatives.
After Erwin and the two of them digested the news, they threw out another piece of news that could be said to be a bombshell: "The reason why Ian was killed was because he found out that Gegil had come to contact the North Sunderland army outside Sandun City. ”
If the news of Ian's killing just now surprised Esilia and Blue, then what Erwin said now was enough to shock ⊥ the two of them.
And as Erwin told all the details, the expressions of the two became more and more serious, and their faces became more and more difficult to look at.
The two never imagined that Gegil would be so mad that he planned to help North Sunderland's army capture Sand Dun City.
"How can he do this, a Lorenzo man, actually went to help the enemy ** team, he is just, is ......" Ecilia couldn't think of any adjectives to chase vicious, her face turned white with anger, and she looked like a fried kitten.
This time, Blue was very sensible and did not question the truth or falsity of Erwin's words, otherwise this information that Ian exchanged his life for would be questioned, and Erwin would definitely be tempted to beat him until he couldn't take care of himself.
Blue was also full of worries, originally the appearance of North Sunderland's army outside Sand Shield City was enough to give people a headache, but he didn't expect Ggill to make things more troublesome, he could expect that once Ggil successfully opened the city gate and let North Sunderland's army capture Sand Shield City, then although this move was just his small personal act, the impact would probably be incomparably larger.
Of course, as Francis, the army of North Sunderland would not dare to do anything to them even if they captured Sand Dun City, but this Miss Julils didn't think much of it, after all, this was her kingdom.
"Well, ...... What are you going to do? Bruton said, he suddenly felt that with the current relationship between the two sides, it would feel awkward to shout the words Mr. Erwin, so he simply used you instead of the title.
"I've already consulted with Rex and worked out a strategy to deal with it," Erwin said with a deep sigh...... "But the city defenders of Sand Shield City are still too few, and once the gates are opened, the three hundred defenders who have not experienced the battle will definitely not be able to resist it, let alone divide a part of the men to eliminate the riot caused by Gegil's possible wanton murder." ”
Erwin spread his hands to Blue and Ecilia: "To put it simply, there are not enough people, and your comprehensive strength can be said to be the strongest in Sand Shield City, so we need your help." ”
After the events of the previous few days, Ecilia finally grew a little, and she did not rush to agree, but pondered for a while to consider the situation, and then turned her head to look at Blue again.
Blue nodded, although he was not Ecilia's subordinate, but Francis, the nominal master of their group of servants, had turned pale with fright after knowing that Gegil was a murderer, and when he heard that Erwin had defeated more than thirty of their servants alone, he was even more frightened to hide in the room and did not dare to come out, and handed over all the orders of the servants to Esilia.
"No problem, Mr. Erwin, if there is anything you need help with, just let us know, and we'll do our best to help." After receiving Blue's approval, Esilia agreed to Elwin's request.
Elwin hadn't thought they would say yes so easily, and some of the arguments he had prepared wouldn't be useful.
"Very well, how many of you are still uninjured and can fight?" Erwin asked towards Blue.
Blue groaned and said, "Fifteen people." ”
More than 30 servants, in addition to the more than a dozen people who were seriously injured by Erwin in the slums that night are still bedridden, there are also two Ken who were seriously injured and killed by Gergil, and there are actually more than fifteen people who are still fighting power, but it is impossible for Blue to send all of them to assist Erwin, he also needs to leave a few men to protect Francis and Ecilia.
Erwin didn't mind Blue's careful thoughts, nodded and said, "Fifteen people are enough, you guys rest and keep your spirits during the day, and then go out with me these few nights." ”
"I need your full plan." Blue made further of his request, he didn't want to run away with Erwin without knowing anything.
"Of course, I'll tell you if you don't ask."
Just as Erwin was discussing with Blue, Ashilia next to her suddenly interjected, her eyes with a little expectation: "This counts as sixteen people, my combat power is actually very good, can you go with me?" ”
"No," Erwin said in unison with Blue.
"Miss Julils, your safety is the first prerequisite that needs to be guaranteed, and you can't continue to take risks like that night." Blue's tone became serious, referring to Ecilia's assertion that night to capture Susan.
Ecilia stuck out her tongue slightly, and then glanced apologetically at Susan, who had been sitting next to her, without speaking.
Susan gave her a kind smile in return, indicating that she didn't mind.
Erwin's words were not as light or heavy as Blue's, he glanced at Ecilia up and down, then shook his head and said unceremoniously: "Miss Julils, we are going to fight, a desperate battle, not a house play, if you think you can endure the injury, disfigurement, cripple or even death, then I don't mind having another fight." ”
"You—" Ecilia gritted her teeth in anger, but she was not an ignorant person, and she did not dare to continue dwelling on this issue.
"By the way," Erwin suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Susan and said, "Susan's injuries are not healed, and she can't participate in the battle, so I don't feel comfortable leaving her alone in the hotel, let's stay here for a few days." ”
Facing the surprised gazes of Blue and Ecilia, Susan nodded slightly.
After leaving Susan in the convoy, Erwin left alone, heading to where Rex now lives, the room that Poluff used to be used as a stronghold.
Unfortunately, Rex wasn't there, and Erwin learned from a spy youth who stayed behind in the stronghold that Rex had gone to the city defenders' barracks in the morning, presumably to arrange the actions of the city defenders in order to discuss something last night.
In the afternoon, Rex came back and saw Erwin waiting for him in the stronghold, and a smile suddenly appeared on his slightly tired face, and said, "What? Are you afraid that I won't agree with your method and come over to supervise me? ”
Erwin didn't answer Rex's teasing, but asked, "You've already arranged it?" ”
"yes." Rex unfastened his cloak and sat down in front of Erwin, "From today onwards, a hundred city defenders will be disguised and blended into the entire Sand Shield City, as long as Gegil kills people and makes trouble, they will come out to quell the riot as soon as possible, and the remaining defenders I will let them stay in front of the city gate and never leave, so that Gegil will never be given a chance to open the city gate." ”
Rex swore that in his opinion, a single Gegill could not afford to make a big storm, and as long as the army of North Sunderland did not have a chance to enter the city, then they should not think of capturing Shadun City.
Looking at Rex's confident appearance, Erwin frowned suspiciously, and couldn't help but ask, "Wait, this won't be the first time you've come out on a mission as a demon hunter, right?" ”
"yes, where did you see that? Any questions? Rex also glared at him in confusion.
"There's no problem, I just think the Demon Hunter Knights should be a very calm group of people, you ...... Seems to be quite confident. ”
Erwin shook his head and said, but there was one sentence he didn't say, Rex was not quite confident, but overconfident.
Erwin had dealt with demon hunters before, and almost every demon hunter was reserved and calm, as if he was suspicious of everything at any time, and he was a model of calmness to the point of cold-bloodedness, like a fighting machine that had wiped out all feelings.
Like Rex, who deliberately put on a grim face, but in fact there are a lot of sentimental and overconfident people, Erwin can see that this guy is undoubtedly a novice among the novices.
"This guy is a rookie, you have this sentence written on your face."
Rex pointed at Erwin and said, then laughed without mind, and said: "But you're right, I'm an outlier among the demon hunters, unlike others who use unquestionable merits to prove themselves, and climb up the ranks to become a demon hunter knight little by little, I just graduated from knight training this year, because of my outstanding grades, I became a demon hunter knight at the recommendation of my elders." But you guessed wrong, although this is my first official mission, I have already completed several tasks that have not been issued in writing documents from the Correctional Institute, so I am not a rookie. ”
"Oh?" Erwin didn't expect Rex to tell him this, so he stretched out his finger and pointed at the armor on his body, "So you use fancy dress to prove that you are different from other demon hunters?" ”
"It's not ......," Rex retracted the smile on his face and was silent for a moment before he said, "I just don't think I'm a qualified Demon Hunter right now, and I'm not qualified to use that kind of outfit openly." When the day comes when I can prove my strength with merit, then I will change the color of my armor back, black is much more handsome than gray. ”
Erwin was stunned for a moment, and then sighed and smiled, "Then I wish you early success." ”
"I've borrowed your good words." Rex said with a smile, but then his face became serious again, "This morning, the defenders reported that the army in North Sunderland outside the city has begun to move, they are reorganizing their equipment and resting, I'm afraid there will be a big move tonight, how are your preparations?" ”
"What do I have to prepare, anyway, if you guard the city gates, I will be responsible for arresting people." Erwin shook his head, then heard a hint from Rex's words, and couldn't help but stare at him and ask, "Are you afraid that I will run away?" Someone stalking me? ”
"I don't have such a bad taste, it was Poluff's men who saw it by accident, I didn't expect you to go to the group of people in Blue, I thought you were going to settle this matter with Miss Susan."
Rex smiled and said that he really didn't need to let Poluff follow Erwin, it was just Poluff's assertion, and although Rex knew, he had no intention of stopping it.
As for Erwin and Susan running to find Bru's group of henchmen, Rex just thought that Erwin was going to ask Bru to help capture Gergil and didn't go any further
Seeing that Rex didn't guess the real purpose of finding Bruna's group, Erwin also took the opportunity to acquiesce, anyway, the backhand he arranged was to prevent the situation from developing in a more serious direction, so even if Rex found out about this afterwards, there was no position to point at him to hide it.
The two discussed some possible accidents and how to deal with them, and then began to wait for the night to fall.
And in one corner of Sand Shield City, another person began to wait for the night to come.
