Chapter 381:
Gus, Rocky had seen before, not only in the Battle of the Border, but also by Griffith's side. has short black hair, a strong body, a resolute face, and a swordsman embryo.
"The reason why I say that this guy has the most potential is because he is not inferior to me in some aspects of pure strength. And my body, after all, is an apostle, but he is only a human being. "Zode's expectations for Gus are not small, and he has the idea of preparing a strong opponent for his future, and this idea is basically shared by anyone who loves war.
Hearing Zode's praise for Gus, Rocky suddenly had a serious interest in looking at the other party, "When you say that, I suddenly want to meet that guy, but he seems to be Griffith's trusted subordinate, right?" ”
"Indeed, the Eagle of Light relied on him so much that the number two on the team was a little jealous."
Hearing this, Rocky couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "You Zuode shouldn't be such a gossip person, right?" Do you still have the heart to care about this? Anyway, is the No. 2 person you mentioned the Black Pearl? ”
"Casscarlett, the number two in the Eagle Regiment, is brave and resourceful, and is known as the flower of the battlefield. She is a favorite of many mercenaries, but it is said that she is only fond of the Eagle of Light, and Gus's presence inevitably robs Griffith of her trust. ”
Zuo De recounted the whole story, and then made some excuses for himself: "The reason why I say this is because this relationship between the three of them will lead to the birth of something terrible. ”
"Oh? You seem to know them very well, don't you? "Rocky would like to hear about these secrets, which are not secrets.
"Cassgaard, Gus, and Griffith, the relationship between the three is very delicate, and if there is a slight change in either party, the relationship between the three will collapse in an instant. It's hard to imagine what the Eagle of Light would do. Contrary to the norm of silence, Zuode recounted these things. It seems that he has been very concerned about the Eagle Regiment before, to be precise, he should be concerned about Gus in the Eagle Regiment, after all, the opponent he intends to cultivate with all his heart and soul naturally does not want some changes to occur.
Lodge didn't know what Zod was thinking, but from what he had seen when he reappeared years later, he had judged that something must have happened between the three of them, and that was now confirmed in Zod's mouth.
All in all, what happens between the three of them is none of my business, because for me. All I need to do is to find those strong people to vent the power in my body. However, if Griffith is really the chosen being of the Abyss and will become the Hand of the Fifth God in the future, then I don't need to look for anyone else. ’
With this in mind, Rocky and Zod fell silent in the land of Midland, quietly observing the changes of events.
Soon after, an event occurred in the Eagle Regiment, and Griffith had no time to pay attention to soliciting Zod. His subordinate Gus has announced his withdrawal from the Eagle Regiment, intending to pursue a free mercenary approach. And the one who plans to leave with him is Casgaard.
Such a change naturally made Griffith angry and forced him with a sword, but after all, he couldn't get the two back. Betrayed by friendship, Griffith went to extremes. Something was done that stunned everyone.
The exposure of Griffith and the princess made King Mirante furious, ordered Griffith to be captured, and forced the Eagle Regiment to disband. At this point, the strongest and most promising mercenary group in the Mirante Kingdom has disappeared.
"Sure enough, there has been a major change, but this situation is not what I want." Rocky witnessed it all. Very disappointed, he thought that after the occurrence of major changes, there would be things that he expected, but unfortunately the wind and waves were calm.
"Does it really take time? Everything takes time to ferment, and perhaps it won't be until Griffith can't stand the torture of this prison that the eclipse will appear......"
After only a few months in Midland, Lodge left with Zode. However, this time I left not to leave this continent, but to find a powerful existence on this continent.
This led to the birth of a legend that Zod served as a servant to a terrible fellow who slain countless feared monsters, apostles, and powerful men. Legend has it that even the Skeleton Knight could not defeat it.
They finally understood why Zod would serve the weak boy, who was not weak, but who lived in his heart a monster that everyone feared, and it was terrifying.
A year later, Gus took Casgaard to find Rocky and Zode, but Rocky didn't know how Gus would have known that they were living in seclusion in a mountain. But it's relieved to think that Zuode is beside him.
"You came to me, I don't know why?" Rocky looked at Gus and Kascarlett, who looked anxious, and said straight to the point: "I don't remember what I have to do with you. ”
"I won't say more nonsense, I'm here to do you a favor." Gus was not polite, and opened his mouth to mention the matter of helping, "I don't know if your Excellency remembers Griffith, the leader of the Eagle Regiment. ”
Rocky almost knew what he meant, and when he saw it, he raised his eyebrows and said, "You want me to save him?" ”
Gus froze for a moment, then nodded cheekily, "Yes, no matter what your Excellency asks, I will agree." ”
Rocky raised an eyebrow and looked at him playfully, "Don't talk too much, if you can't fulfill my request by then, then if I really save Griffith, then wouldn't I be at a loss?" ”
Hearing Rocky say this, the clumsy Gus didn't know what to say, and then Casgaard beside him looked angry and said, "I said it, even if there is no such guy, we can do it with our former Eagle Regiment, why did you come to him?" ”
"I'm doing this to make sure that Griffith can be rescued without any incident, do you think we can save Griffith without any sacrifice?" Gus looked at the angry Kasgar with a serious face, "Do you want our former companions to make sacrifices?" Or can you watch them die? ”
Hearing this, Casgaard froze for a moment, and then stood silently to the side, she was indeed not sure that she would be able to rescue Griffith without injury, but she would never ask for help, even if the person in front of her was a feared existence for countless people.
Rocky didn't seem to pay much attention to the previous argument between the two. There was only one thing he cared about, and that was Gus's promise, "Need I be reminded of this?" You say that you can promise anything. ”
Hearing this, Gus's face was uncertain for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely, "I can do it, so please!" ”
Rocky was stunned, then laughed, "Sure enough." The bond between you and Griffith is something that can make you desperate! But I haven't figured out what to ask for right now, so you can rest assured. ”
"So, should we discuss how to get Griffith out now?" Gus was a little impatient, he had heard before he came that Griffith was almost tortured in prison, and according to those who had seen Griffith, he had become a veritable cripple, with a withered face, his hands were afraid of waste, and he could even walk. Every time I hear that. He was heartbroken, and the sooner he rescued Griffith, he would be less tormented.
Lodge could see Gus's eagerness, but he wasn't. Seeing him smile on his face, he said, "Don't worry, even if you rescue Griffith as soon as possible, there is not much difference." I want to save people, but I choose to be the weakest in the Midland Dungeon. Otherwise, it will not be fun to attract the army of the Mirante Kingdom. ”
Hearing that Lodge seemed to be concerned about the Milantes army, Gus hurriedly said, "There is no need to worry about this. Princess Sharrut has agreed to help us rescue Griffith, and with her inside and out, we will be able to get Griffith out of the country. ”
Hearing this, Rocky couldn't help but be surprised, "When did you hook up with Princess Mirante?" ”
"I can't hide it, I know that Griffiths was tortured inhumanely, and it was Her Royal Highness the princess who told us."
Hearing Gus mention this princess, Kasgar couldn't help but snort coldly, "If it weren't for Her Royal Highness this princess, how would Griffith become what he is now?" With that, her face was filled with grief, and it was clear that she was extremely sad about what had happened to Griffith.
"Griffith can't be blamed for this, but if he does, the king has undue feelings for his daughter, and if it weren't for this jealousy, Griffith wouldn't have fallen from the clouds to hell."
Listening to Gus explain the beginning and end of the incident a year ago, Rocky can't help but have a certain understanding of the chaos of the people of this continent, the head of the religious knights who loves sexual abuse, the governor who loves prostitution, and the king who has lust for his daughter, these people who are different from the outside and the inside, black and white, all constitute this almost dark and distorted continent.
Rocky didn't know if there was the influence of the abyss, but the people living on this continent had the deepest darkness in their hearts among all the people he had seen, and now only a few people were able to maintain their true hearts. For example, Gus, Casgaard, and Zod in front of you.
"Since you've already planned it before, let's go according to the plan!"
After asking for the help of Lodge and Zod, Gus and Kasgar find the old headquarters of the former Eagle Regiment.
Rocky still sat on the chair that Zod carried, looking at the elite warriors of the Eagle Regiment who stood with Gus.
A blonde swordsman, a wise face, his name is swift, a resourceful warrior of the Eagle Regiment, and a good friend of Gus. A declining aristocrat with a gentle temperament and good use of gadgets such as darts. At the same time, he was also an out-and-out believer in Grievous.
The black-haired thief, slightly obscene, named Gorcas, was the leader of a group of thieves before joining the Eagle Regiment. When he stole and robbed the Eagle Regiment, he was caught by Grievous and admired his literary skills and martial arts, and became the leader of the Eagle Regiment. Because he once robbed Gus, was defeated by him, and killed his brother, so he hated him deeply. It's always been against Gus.
Looks no more than 15 and is very immature, his name is Rickett, the youngest warrior in the Eagle Regiment, and he is very trusted by Grievous. Although he can't stand alone, he never lags behind when the battle starts. He often used a crossbow to participate in battles.
The face is honest and burly, and his name is Bibin, the Hercules of the Eagle Regiment, who is burly and tall. He once resisted Gus to a banquet. Since then, Bibin has become a good friend of Gus. Faithful and honest. Worked as a coal digger before.
Looking at their faces, the information about what Zuode told him came to mind, and the Eagle Regiment composed of these people, plus Gus and Kasgaard, could be said to be the strongest mercenary group in this continent.
Indeed, as Cascargaard said, they could save Griffith even without Rocky, but it was absolutely impossible to save Griffith without injury, although they were called elites, they were only stronger than ordinary people.
And now the old members of the Eagle Regiment are discussing Zode and Lodge. Gorcas, with a little fear on his face, asked Gus and Kasgaard, "Why did you invite them over?" ”
"I'm doing this to increase our chances of winning, are you going to go in vertically and come out sideways?" Gus rolled his eyes, he had always been at odds with Gorcas, so he didn't have any good looks for him.
The contradiction between Gorkas and Gus broke out at this moment because of these words, but with the presence of Zode and Rocky, he forcibly suppressed the urge to roar, and said coldly: "Don't you know how dangerous they are? And please move their price. Are you responsible? Legend has it that the king of the small kingdom of Kabis, fearing the great kingdom of Kusha, gave almost the entire wealth of his country, and asked them to assassinate Kusha's previous emperor, and they succeeded. Then the king of Kabis repaid it because he did not have enough to pay. Eventually, he committed suicide, and as a result, both countries were at peace. I don't want us to die at their hands instead of dying on the way to save Griffith. ”
Gorcas's words are not unreasonable. Several people in the team nodded, and Gus couldn't help but look cold when he saw this, "You guy, don't sow discord here." Naturally, I believed in the people I invited. ”
"What you believe doesn't mean we believe!" Gorcas unconsciously glanced at Zode and Rocky on his back with that fearful look, and then whispered, "I don't want a threat behind me. ”
Gus opened his mouth to refute, when he heard the resourceful Jiedu in the team say with a solemn face: "Although Gorcas's words are a bit alarmist, it is really necessary to be guarded, after all, we don't know each other at all. ”
"Jet, even you say that?" Gus looked a lot more ugly in the face of his good friend's questioning, "I'm doing this for everyone's sake, can't you think of the good side?" ”
"Maybe they can help us save Griffith unharmed, but at a high price, Gus, do you want to pay for yourself? If not, I advise you not to invite them! "Fundamentally, Jet still hopes that Gus can think it through, and this is also for his sake, and what he said is indeed very reasonable.
Gus was silent for a while, his expression changing, and his heart began to hesitate about what he was doing. And all of this was seen by the onlooker Rocky, who couldn't help but whisper playfully: "These guys have already been fighting before they started." ”
"That's because the young master's reputation has made them afraid, and they are afraid of paying a high price. It's just that they never think that if they want to get something, they have to give something. Zuo De, who said this, was deeply touched that he had given up his human identity for the sake of power, but he felt that it was a very worthwhile thing. I don't know if Gus will pay a price that he may not even be able to afford in order to save Griffith.
"Now that I've opened this mouth, it's already very difficult to repent, and if this guy ends our employment relationship here, I won't be so good at talking at that time." Rocky said with a smile, and when he saw Zuo De open his mouth, he raised his hand to stop him from trying to persuade him, and said, "You don't have to intercede for this guy, if he can't even keep his word, then is such an opponent worth your expectations?" You'd better think it through for yourself. ”
Zuo De was silent, looked at Gus with an uncertain face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "You'd better not make random choices, otherwise, even I won't be able to help you, because once the young master decides, no one can stop it." ’
Gus thought about it for a long time, but finally stuck to his original idea, 'I'm not wrong, I've already made up my mind to do this!' If you want to get something, you have to pay something, and now that you are ready to pay a high price. Then there's nothing to regret! Griffith, wait for me, I'll get you out! ’
"Gorcas, Jet, no matter how much you persuade me, I won't give up my ideas!" Gus said firmly, "You may have a point, but I'm firm in my choice. ”
"You ......" Gorcas's face changed, and he opened his mouth to scold, but was stopped by Jiedu, and saw Jiedu walk in front of Gus, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed: "You are really the Gus I know, as your good friend, I can only support it unconditionally......"
Hearing this, Gus smiled faintly, "Thank you, ...... Jiedu" (to be continued.) )
