I looked at the five people behind him with different descriptions and said, "Didn't you say three?"

Kress looked back and said, "Yes, I originally called the three of them, but Nidron and Morgan heard that it was you, so they had to come along, and I couldn't help it." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

As he spoke, Kress pointed to a sickly middle-aged man beside him, who had been sallow, listless, and had not spoken, and looked as if he had not eaten enough for several days, and said, "This is Finn Klemi Tasyunkan, according to himself, he was a psychology tutor in some college...... What is psychology?...... He's the reasoning expert I'm talking about, quite smart, more accurate than those who use tarot cards for divination. Just give him a little bit of information, and he will be able to reason. ”

Kress then pointed to the bearded fat guy beside Finn, who was shirtless and laced with linen trousers full of holes, and looked like he hadn't woken up. He's the dog trainer Kress said he's talking about.

"Hello, my name is GOGO, you can call me dog. The fat guy yawned as he spoke, then reached over to shake my hand with the hand he had covered his mouth on.

I grinned all over my face and reluctantly shook the guy's hand, then rubbed the greasy, I don't know if it was saliva or sweat, against the cloak behind my back.

The other man who had invented the balloon was a little bit of a disagreement with Kress, a young man who didn't talk much, about his early twenties, his eyes were blank, his back was exaggeratedly crooked, and he had a taper and an iron ruler in his belt, as if he was ready to do something at all times.

Kress patted him on the shoulder and said excitedly, "Meng Gefei is a genius! He invented a balloon, well, we call it a hot air balloon, which can be used to take the air away from the fluffy and lighter after it has been roasted, and carry people into the sky. He has ever tried to lift up to 500 meters, and in good weather, he can see more than a dozen miles away, which is simply a milestone in the history of science!"

I was completely confused, but I politely reached out and shook his hand, I noticed that this guy might have some problems with his IQ, and he thought for a long time to understand that my left hand and his right hand could not be shaken, so he was very frustrated and stretched out his left hand, which was stained with milky white viscous liquid.

"Don't worry, this is engine oil, nothing else. He seemed to be hiding something, and his eyes were dodgy.

I rubbed my hands against my cloak again, wishing I could peel the whole skin off.

"Well, these two are Nidron and Morgan. Kress broke the embarrassment and pointed to the two extra men.

I was afraid that it would be strange again, so I hurriedly took a step away, but found that these two guys looked quite normal, in addition to being a little sluggish, they actually greeted me very politely, and they looked at it like they were cultivated by the noble family.

"Hello, Lord Emmons, I have long admired the Great Name. I'm Nidron. A slightly taller, tired-faced man said he looked as if he was in his thirties, with a polite smile on his lips all the time, as was common among the upper class aristocrats.

"I'm a native of Calradia, I was born in Suno and my family has a small chamber of commerce. Our family spent a lot of money and effort on training and I hoped that I would bring glory to the family, but as you can see, our family went bankrupt. Nidron smiled, but a slight ache passed in his eyes, and he continued, "I was seized by the Dark Order, but who would want to stay in such a crazy place for the rest of their lives. Then I left with Kress because I heard him say that you, Lord Emmons, have great ideals beyond this time. I just want to come and see, and when I see you today, you are really different from those black cultists who are full of crazy teachings. ”

Nidron paused slightly, as if to observe my reaction, and after seeing my brow slightly furrowed from doubt, he continued: "My field of expertise is economics and management, and I think that as someone like you, who thinks more deeply about the future of this world, he should have some interest in people like me." ”

I immediately nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, there are indeed very few talents like you in my base, and now there are only one and a half people who are in charge of the economy, and you are welcome to join, I hope you can bring some fresh and different changes." ”

Nidron nodded: "No problem...... At the same time, in exchange, I also hope that you can help me and take revenge on my enemies! It is because they took advantage of the fire to rob that my family will be completely bankrupt, and even ruin in the end, and I hope that you can let them get the punishment they deserve. ”

I patted my chest and said, "No problem, this troubled world is already full of suffering, but this is not an excuse to prevent revenge." The wicked will pay for their sins, and that should be the truth of the world!"

Nidron didn't say anything more, just patted the other shorter fellow and said, "This is Morgan, our gardener." I owe most of my survival to him. He doesn't know anything, but I hope you can give him a good arrangement. Although I know that it is an extravagant hope to raise an idler in this world, as long as he can live peacefully in the second half of his life, my heart will be able to comfort a little. ”

I nodded, "Yes, no problem." This should also be a reward for helping me. We have a lot of open space in our base, and I will give him some of it, and only pay a part of the tax every quarter, and use the rest for himself. This is our current economic policy, and of course, I hope that when you join us, you will be able to put forward better ideas. ”

Nidron stopped talking, smiled and nodded away.

It was only at this time that the previous reasoning expert, named Finn Klemi Tasyunkan, finally coughed and said, "I can't see that the famous Emmons is such a soft-hearted man." I wonder how you can hold the position of a legion commander with your character, or are you now in a predicament where control is torn apart?"

I rubbed my forehead, which began to ache faintly, I really deserved to be an expert in reasoning, just such a short meeting, it had already expressed the hidden worries that although I had a premonition in my heart, I still didn't dare to admit it. Yes, when I left the base, only William and a group of inquisitors were left in charge to supervise Vicente's every move, but just on the battlefield, the kidnapped little Wami clearly showed that my control of the base changed, plus the defection of Tex, the entire Fourth Legion led by him and Rachel evaporated, all of this, it is too likely that the Fourth Legion no longer belongs to me, or, there has been a big mutiny that has swept the Fourth Legion, if all this is true, the power in my hands is really limited and much weaker。

Seeing that I was not speaking, the Finn continued: "If my assumption is correct, then the second inference that follows is that you want us to help you find the missing person, and in fact, you are only trying to test the possibility of the first case I have mentioned." If you find your missing subordinates around here, the first scenario is not true. Because you can quickly find them and take back control of them. And if there is no trace of those people in the vicinity, there are only two things I can tell you: first, they are in your base, one by one, they are clearing all the forces loyal to you, and completely taking control of you, and second, they are being bewitched and controlled by some people, and they are killing each other. It depends on how much control you have over your team, and if you have good control over them, then we just need to search for the battlefields that have appeared around here in recent times, and we should be able to find them in no time. ”

After saying all this, Finn looked up at me with an indifferent expression on his face, as if he was not the one who had just uttered the barrage.

I involuntarily clapped my hands: "How to say it, it should be said, you said it all." It seems that I am very lucky to have your help. ”

Finn's indifferent face had a hint of pride, he sneered, and said: "Although it is said that a stable rear and a sound economic production structure are very important foundations for a force, the ability to make decisions on the battlefield, analyze staff officers, and analyze intelligence from a little clue can determine the lifeblood of this force's survival and development. I just see that you seem to attach too much importance to that Nidron, so I can remind you a little bit of self-knowledge as a power leader to select talents. ”

After saying this, he turned his head and walked to the room where he came, and said as he walked: "I've talked to you so much, I'm also tired, I'll go take a rest, and you can solve the rest by yourself." You can see that you are also a smart person. ”

I looked at Kress with a blank face, presumably he was used to this guy's arrogance, and I smiled and said, "This Finn is very smart and powerful. It's just...... Jealousy should be a common problem of smart people, but it's good that I'm not smart, hehe...... I'm fucking jealous!"

Kress laughed.

I looked back at the unicorn basket wrapped like a mummy, and the old G, who never woke up, involuntarily frowned, and said, "So, in addition to finding people, there is a more difficult question, are there any doctors among your people?"

Kress shook his head regretfully: "If there is a doctor, we will not be left with such a few people, you must know that my team is all elites in various fields, and the loss of any of them is unbearable." ”

"Alright then," I sighed, "let's get him into a clean room and see if he recovers tomorrow." When he is well, throw it out quickly, and there are many places where you can't go with him. ”

In fact, it was already very late at this time, there were only a few hours left before dawn, and there was no hurry to find someone at this moment. Kress sent the dog and Meng Gefei back to bed, and dragged me into his room. After a long absence, he must have a lot to say. Speaking of which, since the death of Kaiser and Molodov, only Kress can remind me that I used to spend time at the mountain man training base and had such a happy childhood in Buyoun. Such memories are a little less every day, and I am afraid that one day, when they are all gone from my mind, I will not find any reason to remember them again.

Kress dragged me into the room, the highest level of Emilin's watchtower, where it was easy to get a bird's-eye view of Emilin, and even a mile or two of the village through the moonlight. Kress lived with a young Nord boy who had previously spotted us on the spot.

Kress hurried his former roommate away, and then triumphantly retrieved a four-and-a-half-foot-long crossbow from under the wooden railing of the lookout. This crossbow is different from all the crossbows I have ever seen, the crossbow arm is made of fine wood and steel bars, the width of the arrow can be adjusted, the bow hole to the crossbow machine position, about three feet long, the crossbow is a composite bow made of purple shirt wood and hollow steel frame, the bowstring is made of I don't know what material is a mixture of very fine metal wire and wolf tendons, eagle tendons, I can't pull it, but using a winch to wind, but it is very easy.

From the crossbow machine to the tail end of the crossbow body, about a foot and a half long, it is a foldable hollow metal support, the tail end is very close to the shoulder, it should be able to be used for a long time without getting tired, and the lower end of the crossbow body is installed with a detachable bipod, which can effectively increase the stability of use. The most important thing is that this crossbow is not heavy, although a lot of metal craftsmanship is used, it is a hollowed-out beam structure, and the whole crossbow weighs only three or four pounds, which is much lighter than a two-handed heavy sword.

Kress said a little embarrassed: "I didn't know it was the boss that you came, I just shot you with this thing." This was made by me when I was tinkering with mechs, and the prototype was a giant mechanical crossbow weighing 30 pounds, but the accuracy never improved, so I changed it to a light metal crossbow like the current one, which is suitable for individual use. However, due to process problems, mass production is not possible for the time being. The effective range of this thing has reached more than 600 meters, which is incredible, right? With special crossbow arrows, this distance can be even longer. ”

As he spoke, Kress opened the drawer of a huge wooden cabinet at the head of the bed, and inside was a dense collection of nearly a hundred crossbow arrows of various sizes, and it could be seen that there were probably six or seven kinds.

"This is a streamlined crossbow bolt for silent gathering, which can pierce plate armor within two hundred meters, and most importantly, there is no sound. "Kress picked up a streamlined crossbow arrow and said, "This is the one he shot at me earlier."

"And this, the arrow. Kress lifted a somewhat thick crossbow bolt and said, "There are thirty-five short steel needles in it, and I have made a time-delay system, no, these four wind pockets, when it reaches the top of the parabola, thirty-five steel needles will shoot out, and the power is still very good." It's just that because of the action of these four wind cavities, the effective accuracy is only 70 meters, and if it exceeds 70 meters, it is a facial injury. ”

"There is also this, a special sawtooth armor-piercing arrow, which can pierce through plate armor within 600 meters, and this special light arrow, if this kind of crossbow arrow is used, the effective range can reach a miraculous 900 meters! It's just that at that time, the accuracy cannot be guaranteed...... And this, the ringing arrow for communication, and the ......" Kress introduced profusely sweating.

I had to interrupt him with a wave of my hand, and I said, "You guys...... Are the brethren alright?"

Kress's words were cut off in the air by my words, and he was suddenly speechless with the twin chains he was still introducing.

After a long time, he choked up and said: "After General Edgar died, we were children without fathers and mothers, that Tiktius, and Caron, they followed Mebius to Frey, and the mountain army that General Edgar had worked so hard to train was carved up and eaten up like this, and those of us who did not want to take refuge were suppressed and killed at will under various excuses, we ...... Wow!"

I nodded, a lot had happened during this time, and even if I hadn't left, I wouldn't have been able to avoid it. I hugged Kress tightly and said, "Troubled times...... It will always be so cruel, rest assured, I will avenge my brothers, and I will avenge General Edgar! He was thinking until he died, to let the mountain people die less in the next troubled times, it was such a simple wish, and they were so brutally trampled on! But don't worry, I will make those who commit crimes pay the price, Frey, Membius, Tiktius, Caron...... None of them can escape! I, Emmons, swear! From now on, as long as I am within my ability, I will let the good people have good rewards, and the wicked will not die well! You can rest assured!"

Kress lay on my shoulder, choked up and eventually turned into a howl, I felt his tears slowly soak the black cloak on my shoulder, for the first time I felt that the cloak was so filthy and dirty!

"So, are you planning to apostasy?"

The next morning, before the sun had risen, the reasoning expert Fein knocked on my door and unabashedly shook me a question.

"Apostasy?!" I rubbed my temples, remembering what seemed to be howling after I poured two bottles of Alto last night.

I smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Finn pushed me away, walked straight through the door, sat down in a chair, and said, "I've never met you before...... Oh, it's the second time, but I've always heard that you don't do the same thing as those of the Dark Order, even though you're also a member of the Dark Order. Do you know what that means?"
