Chapter 706: Between the Palms
The next night.
The banquet was held as scheduled under the auspices of Vega.
Standing in the center of the hall, he exclaimed, "Thank you for taking the time to accept my invitation to this feast, and allow me to introduce you to my good friend and most worthy adversary, Palitzer Gunir. ”
Bang Bang Bang –
The banquet hall burst into applause.
Most of them were not wary of their opponents, nor did they ask any questions, and they seemed to know a lot about the fact that Vega had led Palitzer to see the Great River of Donbu for four days.
"Your Excellency, please come up and say hello. ”
Under Vega's smiling gesture, Palitzer said humiliatingly to everyone: "Contemptible Palitzer Gunir, I would like to thank General Vega for his hard work and for your arrival. ”
The banquet once again burst into applause.
For Palitzer, it was truly humiliating.
Because he and Vega are enemies, and now they are trapped in the enemy camp and are in a mess with the enemy, if this matter reaches the ears of Augustus and the Holy Dragon King, even if it can be explained clearly, I am afraid that his impression will be greatly reduced.
"Ahem. ”
Vega coughed twice and continued: "Tomorrow the captain of the Palitzer Legion will return to Tali City, and in two days we will officially fight him, but tonight we are still friends, and we should bring out the best wine for our friends! ”
Whoa—
In the echo of everyone, the banquet officially began.
Half of the high-ranking officers are sticking to their posts, and the other half are leaving their trivialities behind them and having a drink here.
"Commander Palize, we have heard of your bravery for a long time, and I would like to give you a toast. ”
"We're enemies, but we're not going home tonight. ”
"In the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom, the one I respect the most is you. ”
"After two days, please be merciful, hahaha. ”
“......”
One officer after another was reduced to a toast to Palitzer, who was already a little dizzy.
However, with the existence of magical powers, Palitzer also did not refuse to come, anyway, he would go to the toilet and force the alcohol out of his body, so he could stay awake at any time, so he pretended to be a little drunk, ready to see what the hell Vega was doing.
"Come on, Legionnaire, please have another drink. ”
After another glass of wine, Palitzer waved his hand again and again and said, "I'm sorry, I'll go to the bathroom first, and when I come back, I'll accompany you to get drunk." ”
As he spoke.
Palitzer took refuge in a single cubicle in the bathroom.
He began to use his magic to force the alcohol out of his body to relieve his sluggish brain.
But then the situation scared him out of the way.
"What's going on, how can you not force alcohol?"
A cold sweat slipped down Palitzer's forehead, and he realized that this was probably not ordinary wine, and Vega was probably adding something to it, so what was this little ghost's intention to try to get him drunk?
"It can't go on like this. ”
Palitzer sat in the cubicle, not daring to come out, for if he drank any more he was afraid that he would lose consciousness.
Da Da Da –
But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and it was obvious that the voices were two people.
The footsteps were followed by the sound of the two talking.
"Hahaha, the Commander is a devil. ”
"Yes, yes, I'm afraid that fool still thinks that the commander is really going to let him go?"
"Sure enough, the commander was still able to play, and he captured the enemy's commander as a monkey for four days, which not only hit the enemy's morale, but also made us completely let go of our previous worries about war. Later, when he is unconscious, he will be dragged out and killed in front of the soldiers, which can greatly boost the morale of the whole army. ”
"As it should be!"
"Being able to fight a brutal war so much fun is that I'm afraid there is only one commander in this world. ”
"Worthy of the commander, let's go, I can't wait to see the monkey's drunken ugliness. ”
“......”
As the sound of the water faded, so did the two conversations.
Listening attentively, Palize, who didn't dare to move, found that he didn't know when, and his back was already cold because of sweat, and it was self-evident who the "monkey" in this conversation was.
"That's right, that's right. ”
Palitzer muttered to himself: "I knew that little imp could not let me go so easily, it turned out that he didn't kill me until now, just to fool me, and now that I think about it, it is indeed more pleasant to play with a cat and mouse than to kill a mouse directly." ”
"What should I do?"
Palitzer is already starting to mess around.
There is no one who is not afraid of death, and it is precisely because of the fear of death that he will be so groveling these days, if it had been placed in the past, with his temper would have exploded a long time ago, how could he endure until now?
"Escape!
Palitzer looked in the direction of the bathroom window.
Although he is in the enemy camp now, he may have a chance to escape while he is not aware of it?
Desperate to survive, Palitzer easily climbed to the high window, preparing to escape from the ballroom.
But as soon as he climbed up, just one glance made him retract his head.
Because through the window, he found that the entire building was surrounded by soldiers, and the patrolling mages were densely packed, mixed with a large number of speech and spirit mages, not to mention him, even if the shadow mages wanted to escape from here.
"Am I really going to have to sit back and wait?"
Palitzer was getting more and more anxious, less than two hours before the end of the banquet, and every time his heart beats, it means that death has taken a step closer to him, and there is no time for him to hesitate here.
"Lord Palitzer, why are you still here?"
A voice suddenly sounded, and the person who came in was a drunken major general.
He put his arms around Palitzer's neck and said, "Come out with me and continue drinking, everyone is waiting for you." ”
As he spoke, he pulled him outside.
And Palitzer was angry from the heart, waiting for him, waiting to continue to play him like a monkey?
In a fit of rage, he directly grabbed the major general's neck and strangled him to death.
At this time, Palitzer had a flash of inspiration, he threw the corpse into a compartment with his backhand, then changed into the opponent's military uniform, hung his head down, chose an inconspicuous route in the banquet hall, and secretly escaped from the gate.
Syllable!
As soon as he stepped out of the gate, the guards at the gate immediately saluted him.
This almost scared Palitzer to his stomach, but fortunately, he reacted immediately, and the soldiers did not find out his identity, and thought that he was really a major general.
"Ahem. ”
Coughing twice, and nodding pretending to be pretended, Palitzer pretended to be calm, and walked generously towards the dense high-level armed forces surrounding the building in front of him, as long as he crossed here......
Just break through here!
He still had a chance to escape.
The soldiers did not notice Palitzer after all, and because of this uniform, he easily broke through the siege.
Just when Palitzer was glad that he had escaped from the encirclement, he didn't notice that on the balcony on the second floor, a man was holding a goblet, watching him from beginning to end.
Vega drank the juice from the goblet.
He walked down from the second floor, then coughed and said, "Everyone, this is the end of today's banquet, now is the aftershow after the banquet, and then you must help this mouse escape." ”
