Chapter Fifty-Eight: Night Attack
The conversation with Oriana ended on an unhappy note.
One thinks that what he did is right, and the other can't get over the hurdle in his heart, so naturally he doesn't speculate.
As a direct result, Leach never said a word to Oriana along the way. Oriana doesn't care, and poor Tali becomes a mouthpiece.
Finally reaching the border line, Tali breathed a long sigh of relief. Although she did like to stick to Oriana's side, the strange atmosphere between the two made her quite unbearable. Along the way, Tali felt that it was harder than the battle.
After passing the inspection smoothly, the group was about to continue on their way, but Leach and Lena were recognized.
"Mr. Hoffmann, Miss HeinJones, it's really you, long time no see!"
The person who came was a middle-aged man wearing an Ambrera uniform, and the rank should be a captain, and after seeing Leach and Lena, he immediately hurried up to greet him.
"Are you...... Mr. Josh, are you on duty today?" Leach hesitated for a moment, and then immediately remembered that the man in front of him was the recipient of the letter he had taken over with Lena.
"Haha, that's right, it's fate, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to touch you!" Josh said with a smile, "Don't Mr. Shout, it sounds weird, just call me Uncle Josh!"
"Alright, Uncle Josh, you can call us Leach and Lina too. Because he and Josh had returned together, and had been together for a while, they had become more familiar with each other, so Leach spoke a little more easily.
"Okay, Leach, where are you going, have you taken a new commission?"
"Yes, Uncle Josh, the young master and I are busy recovering the Hoffman family, and we are very short of money, so can you return the transit fee we just paid?" Under Leach's reminder, Lena finally remembered that she knew the officer in front of her, and immediately wanted to go through the back door.
"Lena!" Leach scolded speechlessly, turning to Josh, "Uncle Josh, you don't have to worry about her, you know, she's like this, don't be like her." ”
"Haha, it's okay, Lena is really the same! As for the transit fee, I am in charge and will give you a waiver!"
"yes, Uncle Josh, you're a good man!"
Josh laughed, and continued, "By the way, Leach, you haven't told me where you're going. ”
"Our commission this time is to go to the border side of the empire, as for the specific content, I'm sorry Uncle Josh, I can't say. ”
"It's okay, I know your rules. Josh waved his hand, "The main thing is that I didn't have time to thank you for your help last time, and I can't let you run away this time." ”
"Uncle Josh, you are so polite, it was our task last time, and you don't need to thank us at all. ”
"I can't say that, if you hadn't delivered the letter in time, I would have missed that important event to me, and I wouldn't have been able to get home so smoothly if you hadn't escorted me all the way back. Besides, since you're heading to the borders of the Empire, why don't you rest with us for the night? Anyway, it's not early, and even if you continue to hurry now, you won't be able to reach your destination before dark. ”
"This ......," Leach hesitated, "what do you think?"
After a little discussion, everyone agreed to stay here for one night, after all, sleeping in the wilderness once or twice thought it was fun, but there were too many times, and no one would put a comfortable big bed and go to sleep on the grass.
"Then I'm sorry for you, Uncle Josh. ”
"No trouble, no trouble, you wait a minute, I'll send someone to clean up your room. By the way, the food in the cafeteria is almost ready, you can go and taste it first. Our food is not a delicacy in the world, but it is delicious. ”
"Well, thank you. ”
......
"Brother Leach, what did you do to Uncle Josh, just to deliver letters and escorts, you won't be so obsessed, right? And what did he mean by the important things he said? While eating, Tali couldn't contain her curiosity and asked.
"There's nothing you can't say. At that time, Uncle Josh's child was framed and imprisoned, and there was only his wife at home, so he didn't know what to do, so he wrote to ask for help. When Uncle Josh returned, he quickly solved the problem. Strictly speaking, we didn't do much in this. It's just that Uncle Josh is very nice, so I've been thinking about it. However, I didn't expect to meet him today, which is quite a coincidence. ”
"I see, this Uncle Josh is really good, and the food here is delicious. ”
"Well, I always thought that the food in the army was hard to swallow, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious. ”
......
Josh's plan for the Leach Five was a large room, which seemed to have been converted from a large military dormitory, and was used for the passing travelers. There are eight large beds, and they don't look crowded.
Probably because there are fewer people coming and going recently, there is no one else in the room except for the five people in the room.
After a long day's journey, everyone was very tired and soon fell asleep.
As he slept soundly, Leach was awakened by a shrill siren.
"Enemy attack!
Hearing the shouts outside the door, Leach quickly put on his weapons and equipment, and after instructing Lena and Tali to protect Oriana, he rushed out of the room with Saya.
In the corridor, it has become a pot of porridge.
Because it was late at night, most of the soldiers were still asleep, and after being woken up by the sudden sound of the siren, they were all in a hurry, and many soldiers just dressed indiscriminately and rushed out with their weapons.
And the source of the riots was a group of black-clad and masked people.
This group of people seems to have a specific goal, and they are all good, ordinary soldiers can't even touch the corners of their clothes, and because the scene is too chaotic, in order to avoid accidentally injuring the soldiers and not using guiding weapons, this group of people is constantly in and out of various rooms as if they are in a no-man's land.
Fortunately, this group of people seems to have some scruples, and they can hide from the soldiers who block the road, but they can't dodge, and they only knock them down or repel them, and they don't kill them, so there are no casualties.
Soon, the man in black spotted Leach and Saya, who were dressed differently, and gathered towards them.
