Section 329 The Shadow of War
Section 329: The Shadow of War
"Fez, what the hell is going on with them, where are they carrying packages one by one?" After several days of hurrying, Fez and Kirby have already entered the Northern Province, but the further east they go, the more pedestrians carry packages on their backs, and almost all of them are heading north!
Fez looked at these people, dark skin, strong body, eyes full of anger, most of them only had a burden on their bodies, obviously they didn't have much money, they should be local natives, but they didn't know why they were running north, and these people looked at the two with obvious ill intentions, if it weren't for the size of Kirby, and the huge war hammer behind Fez, I'm afraid that the two war horses and the valuable items on their bodies would have been robbed cleanly.
"I don't know, but don't be nosy!" Fez, who didn't want to have too much contact with these people, stopped and let the group of hundreds of people leave first.
Judging from the war horse, the environment here is very different from the last time I came, before due to the perennial drought that led to the lack of crops, the earth dried up, densely packed with thigh-thick cracks, and now the magic array that affects the climate has been destroyed by itself, and the rain is slowly recovering, although the land has not yet appeared lush, but from time to time the barren grass and shrubs show the existence of life, but it is still very desolate.
Ten years of drought have forced out most of the young people, it is impossible for the departed to come back again in two years, and it is impossible for the remaining old and weak women and children to reclaim such a large place, and all desolation is inevitable.
"Hey, the two strong men in front, can you do me a favor, my brother is injured. Can you give my brother a ride? Not far ahead is the city of Maburing. We'll give it back to you when we get there, okay?" Suddenly, a big man with a scrawny teenager on his back squeezed out of the crowd and walked straight towards him.
Looking at the sincerity of the big man's face, as well as the young man's underdeveloped body due to malnutrition, Fez was just about to get up to check on the other party's situation, but was robbed of the limelight by Kirby.
"Seat me! I haven't left for a few days, and my ass hurts!" said Kabima, jumping off his horse.
"Hehe!" Fez didn't refuse, but there was a hint of understanding in his smile. These people seem to be simple, but in their hearts they are some people who deceive good and fear evil, these people are looking at their own money, because Fez saw the young man turn his head and glance at the cunning gaze, this is not a patient can come out, but Fez did not shout, because sometimes it is difficult to do secret things when shouting out, most of Kirby's war horses are not coming back, so try to collect some compensation, not to mention that the two war horses were obtained from the magic tower in Fatal County. And the hundreds of gold coins on his body were all scavenged from the magician, and there is nothing to regret.
"Thank you so much. We will definitely repay you!" The big man didn't look at Fez again, and ran over and hugged the young man, and the moment the young man got on the horse, the quick movement also showed the other party's deception.
"Where are you going, why are you carrying the packages on your back?" Receiving Fez's hint, Kirby asked the question he had been holding back for a long time.
"Hehe, we are here to join the army to serve the motherland, the hateful Magic Empire, even united with the lich to attack our northern fortress, causing us millions of casualties, and now it is also uniting with the polar glaciers to attack us when we are at our weakest.
Governor Steven has already issued an order to join the army, no matter who you are or what you have done, you can join the army, and we will not be to blame for the past! We have all joined the army in the past, and we must defeat all the invaders, and we will destroy the magic empire!" The more the Han spoke, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to fight on the battlefield now.
"By the way, there was a ten-year drought here a few years ago, and now it's okay here?" Fez asked lightly, although he didn't expect things to develop into this situation, but now he has no power to turn back, and the development of things can only be seen step by step.
"Hehe! Isn't this still the masterpiece of the Magic Empire, what kind of climate weapon is used, it doesn't rain for ten years, doesn't this want us to die, we will remember this hatred for a lifetime, we will kill all the people of the Magic Empire! Everyone said yes, isn't it!" Dahan's passion affected everyone, and he was full of passion in an instant.
"Attack the Magic Empire, destroy the Magic Empire!"
"Attack the Magic Empire, destroy the Magic Empire!"
......
"Alas, I can't imagine that the ending will be like this!" I can't imagine that the public opinion propaganda of the Russ Empire is doing very well, but these conspiracies will be revealed one day, and I don't know how to end up at that time, but these are not under the control of Fez.
"Let's go!" Fez, ignoring everyone's passions, took Kirby first.
"Ganunu, what I'm eating is still on the horse!" didn't think about the war horse, but it was more important than the war horse, so the Kirby, who was pulled away by Fez, still wanted to get back what he ate.
"Give it to them! Kirby. "Now everyone is excited, anything can be done, Fez doesn't want to do a big deal for one or two war horses, now is the moment to get a little less trouble, after all, in the Russ Empire, Fez is a figure on the cusp of the limelight, if you accidentally capsize in the gutter, it will be worth the loss!
"Okay, but when you get to the county town ahead, you need to buy more! I'm a little hungry. Kirby touched his stomach and glanced at the war horse that had blended into the crowd again, it was his own food!
"Hmm! Let's eat first. Fez, throwing his dry food to Kirby, sped out of the crowd with Kirby again.
"Big brother, do you want to do them, look at them and look a little homely!" Looking at the back of the two Fezes leaving, the big man actually bowed his head to the thin young man on the war horse.
"No, they are all masters, and we are not opponents in a head-on confrontation!" the young man raised his head, and his eyes were full of cunning, which was completely inconsistent with his physical illness.
"No, big brother, those two fools, don't know anything, we have hundreds of people. One person can beat them to death with one punch!" Dahan still couldn't believe that with these hundreds of people. Can't even two people be subdued?
"They've seen it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone so fast!" the young man looked at the backs of the two leaving, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I can see that I didn't even say a word, I think it's just two wretches!" Dahan still said sarcastically.
"Hehe, I don't want to cause trouble, do I! Then trouble will always follow you!" the corners of the young man's mouth showed a hint of conspiracy.
......
"Young master, nearly 200,000 soldiers and 100,000 people have been signed, can the fortress accommodate so many people if it goes on like this?" Right now, two people were using magic binoculars to watch the endless stream of people and discuss.
"Hehe, it's okay, the loss this time is too great, so I'm going to have a big blood exchange, and the soldiers who will be directly absorbed will cost 500,000, and there will be 500,000 people to repair the city walls and build the city, so even if it is a million, it can be easily accommodated!" If Fez is here now, he will definitely recognize it, isn't this young master the young master Young Master Ayler, the son of Governor Steven! But the world is really not big, I'm afraid it won't be long before the enemies will meet.
"Hmm, young master!"
"Don't be nosy. Our mission this time is to eliminate all obstacles that prevent this call-up, and I heard that there is a force in the vicinity that is hindering the operation!" I heard that there are people in the vicinity of here who deliberately obstruct the recruitment operation and spread unfavorable news, although these news are true, but they are blocked, so no matter what, these people cannot be allowed to continue.
"What is it, is the enemy attacking?" had just experienced a big battle, so the vigilance of the guards was still quite high, and a flash of light passed by, which immediately aroused everyone's vigilance.
"Don't panic, it's just two bald heads, but it's surprising that there are such shiny and smooth heads!"
"Look at it, how is the strength of these two people?" The second purpose of Eller's coming over this time is to choose his subordinates, after all, after this incident, Eller's temperament has converged a lot, and he knows that relying entirely on his father's relationship will not play much role at the critical moment, and he must establish his own power team, so he saw that the two warriors in the distance, one tall and one short, also had the idea of accepting it, so he handed the telescope to the staff officer next to him, at least in terms of strength, the staff officer is an eighth-level warrior, and he can provide himself with a lot of practical construction.
"Look at the body type, it should be a melee type warrior, and the strength is average!" In fact, the distance is so far away, with the strength of the eighth level of the staff officer, it is impossible to reach the level where the opponent's strength can be judged by eyesight, but seeing the size of the two gives a vague answer.
"Well, let's stay and check it out first!" I don't know why Eller wanted these two warriors so much, maybe it was the shiny heads of the two of them that attracted him!
"Yes, I'll do it! The staff officer answered, but the tone seemed to be a little dislike these two people, after all, as a marshal, he was assigned to the young master's subordinates, and he had not been able to enter the real circle of Ayler, and for these two people, Ayler actually wanted it personally, so he was in jealousy and competition for favor, and neither of them could continue to live.
"Okay, you go and do it, I'll go back first, tomorrow we'll leave Mabulin, and we must do our best to complete the task!" Eller didn't look back, but a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Eller knew that these people were all people left by his father to spy on him, and there was no one around him who could be trusted, since they didn't want to have their own followers, then kill all the people they looked at, if they killed, it meant that they had no vision, if they were killed, it meant that their vision was good, and Eller used these people as a touchstone for himself to test his followers.
"Fei, no, Ganunu, it's Maburin ahead! Let's go eat, I'm hungry again!" Looking at the siege in front of him under the afterglow of the sunset, the listless Kirby suddenly came to his senses, as if he saw not a city made of stone, but a chicken leg that could be swallowed, and even the saliva at the corner of his mouth flowed out.
"Alas, didn't I let you use qi to replenish your body? It's too laborious to rely on food alone, and you have practiced the God of War technique!" Fez had already recited the God of War recipe to Kirby over and over again, just a few thousand words, and now Fez can memorize it, but Kirby only remembered a few dozen, and he didn't feel the storage of vindictiveness at all, which made Fez very headache, just relying on food to supplement the body lì is not impossible, but the limitations are too great, so it is easier and practical to absorb free energy from the air.
"I've tried, but I can't feel the anger of the storage zài, I really can't learn it, Ganunu, you let me go!" Kirby bit his finger and looked pitiful, if it wasn't for the fact that this trick was used too much for Fez, I'm afraid Fez would really have been deceived.
"I'll be with you in the future, now prepare for a fight!" As a magician, Fez was keenly aware of the murderous aura emanating from the air, which was definitely aimed at himself, but not against himself, including Kirby, so Fez did not choose to flee in the first place.
"Okay! ready to fight. Kirby's joints crackled all over his body, apparently moving his muscles.
"There are four people in total, the middle one is left to me, and the rest is left to you!" Fez, driving his horse to meet the four people in front.
"The three of you will deal with the one in the back, and I'll take care of the horseback!" The four people on the other side made the same decision as Fez, but the difference was that it was their last mission.
"Hey, we're the magistrate of Maburing County, are you Rass, and Rab?" If it weren't for the murderous aura that Fez felt in the air not only did not disappear, but increased a lot, I'm afraid that the other party's sincere face would really think that the other party just recognized the wrong person.
"I'm sorry, my lord, you admit that you are wrong, we are just passers-by!" Fez jumped off his horse, but the weapon did not leave his body, obviously not the slightest relaxation.
"It's okay, seeing your strength, we adults appreciate you very much, so please take a trip. The opponent's right hand was also swinging, and he could draw the sword at his waist at any time.
"But do you adults live underground? hehe. ”
"Sometimes smart people don't live long!" (To be continued......
