Chapter XVI
"Is Goyer's injury serious?" asked Silver Axe St. Louis with a solemn expression. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He had been walking back and forth here for a long time, and Mary Nicki was by his side, and Nicki knew very well how Silver Axe felt at this time, so from beginning to end, Nicki didn't say anything, just quietly stayed by Silver Axe's side.
"Don't worry, my lord, the doctors said that Goyle only suffered some skin injuries, and he rushed back all the way, physically and mentally, the burden is relatively heavy, as long as he rests, he will be fine. Mueller put away his usual teasing expression and reported to the silver axe with a serious expression.
Silver Axe breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slightly, and then looked at Nicki, who nodded at Silver Axe in encouragement, and Silver Axe smiled, but he immediately became heavy again.
"It's a pity that Klebe and Hanaldson didn't come back......," Silveraxe said in a deep voice.
"Kleib and that High Rock Dwarf brother are heroes!" said Mueller, Silver Axe nodded with a wry smile, he preferred that Kleib and Hanaldson would come back safely rather than become dead heroes.
Silveraxe ordered Muller to return to the Silveraxe Mansion so that the warriors of the Silveraxe family were ready for battle at any time, while Silveraxe himself rushed with Nicky to the council chamber in Little Yar, where there was an important meeting to be held.
In the council chamber of Little Yar, the leader of the Frontier Rangers, Sturit Batista, was fighting with a solemn expression, and the deputy leader, Garay Nice, stood beside him.
After Silver Axe and Nicki walked in, they nodded to everyone, and sat aside, the lord of Lore's Stone Town, Lore Pandel sat next to Silver Axe, and the two of them punched each other's fists, and beside Pandel, sat the warriors from Stone Town, including the weapon dealer Lore Palermo, the arena champion Lore Ortega, who had been bought by Palermo and gave freedom to the arena warrior, the bull orc Harry, and Harry's friend, Palermo's most trusted warrior, Bieber Gascoigne.
Silver Axe noticed that on the other side, there were several high-ranking rangers sitting on them, Silver Axe knew those people, they were all elite members of the Frontier Rangers, they were the winged man Sadie El, the dog spirit Miku, the wolf orc Douglas, and the snake man Medea.
High Ranger Motta Tyrell and Jack, Al Cicero, head of the Borderlands Rangers' Little Yar Branch, and Fiana, Archmage of the Free Mage, sat on the other side.
"Our warriors have made sacrifices, but we have finally figured out the current situation in the Giant King Hill, where there are many slaves controlled by the addicted brain, and the addicted brain may have a way to control our warriors. Batista explained the situation with a grim face, and everyone in the council hall knew the predicament they were facing.
"Master Fiana, can't you mages stop the mind control of the addicted brain?" Ness suddenly asked Fiana.
"I'm sorry, Lord Garray, the mind control used by the addiction brain is not a spell, but an innate ability of the addiction brain, so we mages can't help it. Fiana said helplessly, and there were bursts of sighs from the scene.
At this time, Nicki was pondering, and Silver Axe glanced at Nicky, he knew that Nicki must be thinking about something, and usually at such times, Silver Axe would not dare to disturb Nicky.
"Although the mind control of the addictive brain is not a spell, do they have anything in common? As far as I know, some of the priest's magic and the mage's spells, there are still similarities, so is it possible that there are similarities between this, and we can find a breakthrough in it. Nicki whispered, and everyone's eyes were on her.
"Hmm...... Maybe I can bring a team of mages and give it a try...... But first I need a controlled slave, and while it's a bit inhumane, I need a test subject. Fiana whispered, nodding at Nicki, who didn't know each other well, but now Fiana did have genuine admiration for Nicki.
"Hmph, in the war, what more humanity do you want, when the next mission is out, I will catch a few slaves who are controlled by the addicted brain for you. Sadie El said angrily.
It is estimated that in the entire council chamber, the only human who will not disgust him is Batista, this winged man has not changed his personality for so many years in the Free Frontier, even if Venice Yar has become friendly with the Free Frontier, but this cannot change Sadieel's antipathy towards humans.
"Wang, in fact, if you think about it, those slaves are really not willing to fight with us, wouldn't it be a bit cruel to them like this?" said Miku, the dog spirit, a little reluctantly.
"Hey, puppy, don't you want to be so idealistic, okay? In war, there are only enemy troops and our army, there are no reluctant opponents, and showing mercy to the enemy is cruelty to one's own people. Sadie El said with a sneer, which made Miku frown.
"I agree with the Finch Wingman this time!" shouted Douglas, the wolf-orc.
"Hey, puppies and big dogs, that's a real nuisance. Sadie El sneered again, causing Douglas to grin at him.
"Alright, stop arguing, let Lord Battista make the arrangements. Medea the snake man smiled seductively and interrupted the confrontation between Sadie El and Douglas.
Batista nodded at Medea, he looked at Mary Nicki and then at Fiana, Batista looked down, thinking.
"Lord Batista, ...... Isn't that a bit against our rules?" said Ness softly, looking at Batista, who also looked at Nice, and then shook his head slightly.
"I think that the principle of the Frontier Rangers is to free the Frontier, and we can sacrifice everything, even honor, so ......" Battista looked at Sadie El, who smiled smugly.
"Sadieel, bring me at least one slave back on your next trip to the King's Hills!" Batista snapped, and Sadiel smiled and nodded.
"Ahem......"
At this time, the lord of Lorre's Stone Town, Lore Pandel, coughed softly, which attracted everyone's attention, and Pandel, nodded slightly at Batista, indicating that he had something to say, and Battista also nodded to let Pandel speak.
"We need to put a little pressure on the Giant King Hill, although the Giant King Hill is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but we can't help but attack, our High Rock Dwarves in Stone City are here to recapture the Big King Hills for the High Rock Dwarves!" Pandel said loudly, which won a round of applause from the High Rock Dwarves in Stone City, and Silver Axe nodded in agreement.
"We need to be more secure, otherwise the sacrifice will be too great. Nice said.
"There will always be sacrifices in war! If you don't want to sacrifice, just hide at home, hide in your mother's arms and be a good baby!" said the arms merchant Palermo disdainfully, which made Ness blush.
"I'm a ranger! I'm a warrior!" Ness roared with rage.
"Nice!" Batista yelled at Garay Nice, who immediately lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
"Lord Batista, we High Rock Dwarves have no problem with you Rangers, and I hope you don't mind Palermo's rude behavior. Pandel whispered, but he didn't blame Palermo in the slightest.
"Don't worry, Lord Pander, I didn't mean that, but I also want you to know that our Frontier Rangers will not be afraid of any danger, otherwise I would not have formed this team back then, and I think all of you know very well how dangerous the Free Frontier is. Batista was polite, but anyone could tell the toughness in his tone.
"I don't care if Pandel or they don't understand, anyway, I, Silver Axe St. Louis, admire your Frontier Rangers very much, so this time we have to work together to have a chance to recapture the Giant King Hill, if everyone is just fighting on their own, then I'm sure we can't fight against that group of brains at all!"
Silver Axe roared loudly at this time, he was made his head hurt by the chatter and mockery of each other by this group of people, although Silver Axe was in the snowy region of the Far North back then, and he would often fight with Heta Barbossa, War Maniac Makarov and others, but it is estimated that Silver Axe has long forgotten what he looked like back then.
"I think Silveraxe is right, we need to be united in order to besiege the Giant King Hill. Batista nodded, of course understanding that unity was essential to this war.
"Lord Batista is the leader of the Frontier Rangers, so let Lord Batista be in command of this combat operation. Nicki proposed, winning the approval of the vast majority, with only a handful of High Rock Dwarves disagreeing.
"I don't dare to be the commander, the Giant King Fortress is the former royal city of the High Rock Dwarves, so in this war, we should start our operations with Lord St. Louis, the Silver Axe, who inherits the blood of the High Rock Dwarf King Storm Family. Batista whispered, winning everyone's approval.
"I'm going to take the warriors of the Silver Axe family into the Giant King's Fortress!" the Silver Axe roared.
"Yes, as long as we breach the gates of the Giant King's Fortress, we will make an important breakthrough, but before that, we need to distract our addiction brains and attack the Giant King Hill from all sides. Batista said, which provoked a lot of discussion.
"But in this case, our forces will also be scattered!" said Pandel, frowning.
"The other three parties are just feints, what really needs to break the gap is the army at the underground entrance to the east of the Giant King Hill, if this army breaks through to the Giant King's fortress, then the other three armies will also gather to the east. Battista said, making everyone nod slightly.
"This team is going to be full of danger. Sadie El sneered, apparently knowing that he wasn't going to be in charge of the team.
"Hahaha! The most dangerous job, of course, must be entrusted to the warriors of our Silver Axe family!" Silver Axe laughed and said loudly, while Nicki nodded slightly, of course she knew that Silver Axe had always liked to face danger bravely.
"No, this team will be in charge of our Frontier Rangers, and I will be in charge of it myself. Batista said so, but this only provoked a wave of the silver axe.
"Lord Batista, I know your intentions, but retaking the Great King's Hill is something we dwarves must do, so of course I will attack it myself! Silveraxe said with a smile, and Battista wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Nicki.
"This matter is about the honor of my family, Lord Batista, you don't have to fight about it. Nicki said with a smile, and Batista looked at Nicki and then at the smiling Silver Axe, and nodded, admiring the Silver Axe.
"Then the west of the giant king hills, I am personally responsible, the west wants to contact the Caroli Desert, who knows what will pounce, so I will lead the team there, Sadie El's team, Miku's team and Douglas's team all follow me!" Batista gave the order, Sadieel stretched his waist and didn't squeak, Miku shouted excitedly, and Douglas also looked eager to try.
"Then leave the south to the High Rock Dwarves!" Pandell suggested, and the Silver Axe and Pandel flicked their fists again, and the High Rock Dwarves and the Snowy Dwarves were going to work together here.
"So the north...... Nice, you take Medea's team, Tyrellle's team, and Jack's team there!" Batista looked at Garay Nice, his deputy head of the regiment, Ness nodded confidently, such a difficult task, for Nice, it was an opportunity to prove his honor.
A war is about to break out, everyone is grim, everyone knows what this war means, only by recapturing the Giant King Hill, the Great Wall can continue to be built, and the free frontier, and even the Yaluo continent, will usher in hope.
