Chapter 128: Kindness
"Oh......" Harlaus rubbed his face as if he had just had a dream, and said, "The empire has reached its most dangerous moment, Cecilia Zhang, I have a task for you." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The woman immediately got up from Harlaus's lap and knelt down on one knee before him: "Listen to my king!"
Haraus rubbed his forehead: "First, keep an eye on Ruth for me." This woman has been behaving strangely lately, and I suspect that she has taken refuge in some person or organization, and from tomorrow onwards, you will temporarily take her place and give me a new clean-up of the lion's teeth, and the second thing ......" Haraus hesitated, but gritted his teeth, and said: " Go to the blacksmith shop at the gate of the city, find a man named Gaang, and say that I asked you to come, what happened to Soanna twenty years ago was my fault, please don't mind, now that the Svadia Empire has reached the moment of life and death, please put aside his previous suspicions and come to me. I need him...... and his Knights of the Holy Sword!"
The next morning, the High Priest and Shirley vanished as if they had never been there.
I looked at their empty room, and I actually felt a little sad, I don't know what the whole of Calradia will become when we see each other again.
Little Wami had been tired of me last night, either pestering me to tell her stories or asking me to sing to her, and after walking away for a while, she would wake up crying. I can understand her vulnerability, after all, she had just lost her parents, and the whole family was in flames, and then my godfather disappeared out of thin air, leaving her alone in a strange place, facing fierce guards every day, although she didn't say it, but the fear in her heart must be overwhelming.
At this time, in this world, I am the only one who can warm her.
Actually, why don't I, Yexiu is dead, Fatima is dead, and in this world, only Xiao Wami can warm me.
I sat down on the edge of her little bed and told all the fairy tales I had heard, until the east was slightly white, and little Wami finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell into a deep sleep.
I gently closed her door, if only the world was as beautiful as in a fairy tale.
I went out the door, and saw Vicente standing in front of me, cloaked in neat clothes, and behind him were the hundred horsemen who had come out together, and now, after days of fierce fighting and reconnaissance, there were only more than seventy men left. Compared to the brethren who had been imprisoned in the dungeons of the Fourth Legion, they suffered less and gained more strength.
I incorporated them all into the Fourth Legion, where I held positions ranging from centurion to captain. The mastery of an army should be done well from the lowest level, and this can be seen from the role of Alvin Ann in recruiting the old soldiers of the 15th Brigade.
"Have all the information been counted?" I looked at Vicente, the people who had been following me, now dead and wounded, or not around, the only one who could make a difference, only Vicente was at the moment.
At this moment, Vicente's eyes were covered with heavy dark circles, and he knew at a glance that he hadn't slept last night. He nodded, and said in a tired and hoarse voice, "Last night, I asked our brothers to help me, and finally settled the accounts of the Fourth Legion for a short time. At present, the treasury of the Fourth Army contains more than 160 pounds of gold, more than 3,700 ancient gold coins, 540,000 dinars, 18,000 sets of black leather armor, 4,500 sets of black steel chain mail, 6,000 black sniper crossbows, 5,000 long slashers, 7,000 broad-bladed spears, 3,000 steel shields, 10,000 broad-bladed swords, and 3,000 black hunting horses. The grain cellar was enough to consume the entire Fourth Army for a month. ”
My hand gently tapped on the handrail at the door: "In terms of equipment, it's still not enough, if it really fights, the combat effectiveness that these 1,000 people can really exert is about eighty percent, and there are thousands of people who are cannon fodder, no, take your time." How's the liaison with Uxhall?"
Vicente cleared his throat and said, "The messenger was sent only last night, but if you go through the channels of the Inquisition, you should get the news tonight." Do you need to use the channels of the jury?"
I shook my head: "Don't...... If I'm not mistaken, Haringos' rebellion has put Harlaus into a stage of suspicion about everything, and it would be dangerous to use the hidden threads lurking in Uxhall at this time. Let's be late, we're going to be a little bit more prepared, and Arthurs and the others might be getting involved in a good show if they're coming from Uxhall right now. Vicente, continue to send scouts to search and observe everything within fifty miles of this vicinity, six rounds a day, and I want to keep an eye on the information in this vicinity. ”
Vicente nodded, hesitated, and said, "My lord, what do you want to ......?"
I smiled: "Old friends are coming, why don't you prepare some welcome programs." ”
Vicente shivered subconsciously, as if thinking of something.
I'm thinking about old G at the moment, and according to my guess, he should not be far from here at the moment.
"My lord, my lord?" Vicente called out softly, pulling my thoughts back.
"What else?" I asked.
"As for the prisoners in the dungeon, we told them last night, there are hundreds of people, who were originally strong men from the nearby villages, who heard that Stallone is dead and intend to join us, and more than a thousand people, whose homes have been destroyed by Stallone, have nowhere to go, and who do not want to be soldiers, and agree to stay and settle down. But there are still more than a thousand people, and they are always clamoring to leave, what should we do?" Vicente asked me cautiously.
I smiled in amazement, in fact, as soon as I finished laughing, I felt a wave of anger burning in my chest. I want to go, it's so chaotic outside, there are so many evils in this world, I've already shown tolerance and understanding, you still don't trust it, right?
I said, "Check if they have any criminal records, and ask the strong men who are willing to join how these guys are doing in prison." If it is good, send them to the blacksmith to work, and give them lodging and pay, but they must be careful, and those who do not behave well ......"
I licked my lips and continued, "Just cut off your tongue, prick your eyes, and sell it to the slave traders, they don't really need that kind of super-cheap labor, it doesn't matter where it is, they won't mind this little handicap." ”
Vicente's face turned a little white, he wiped his sweat, nodded and walked away.
I took a deep breath, the morning air in this valley was very fresh and moist, and the rain last night still did not fall. The treatment of those stubborn prisoners caused a lot of shock to a certain extent, and the people released from the dungeon were in danger for a while, and I don't know who to start with, but rumors began to circulate that I took over from Stallone at the helm of the Fourth Legion, and that the unfortunate ones who pierced their eyes and cut off their tongues were my first toys, and it was the turn of the others next time.
These rumors were viral at the outset, and soon spread among the coolies. In fact, I still have some sympathy for these people, after all, they have not committed any crimes, and they were only arrested and used as coolies because they insisted on going home. But sympathy is sympathy, and I am responsible for the tens of thousands of lives in this entire base, so I have to temporarily wronged them.
But such rumors were undoubtedly somewhat destructive, and it wasn't long before I came back to their place of work and saw that they were desperately avoiding my gaze, as if my gaze would kill them.
"It's not easy......" I muttered.
"My lord, just kill them all, now that these rumors have spread to the army, I find that the original people of the Fourth Legion have not looked at us with the right expressions. Vicente said.
Killed? Now I just need to lift the butcher knife, and I can't put it down, after all, my ultimate goal is not something that can be achieved with a butcher's knife.
It is even more unlikely, because the most basic human nature of human beings determines that once they are out of danger and in a new place, they will endlessly repeat and repeat to the people around them about their suffering, as if in this way their suffering will be lessened. To those intelligence officers with ulterior motives, this is simply the most delicious intelligence feast.
"Trouble, what trouble......" I said with a sigh.
"Perhaps, I can help you. An unfamiliar voice sounded in the back of my head, and I turned my head to see Tello who had appeared earlier in the small Wami room.
"Why are you?" I frowned, "why haven't you left yet?"
"Because I seem to be seeing something very interesting. Tello raised an eyebrow and said, "I thought you would give the order to kill them without hesitation, but I didn't expect you to be so soft-hearted." We have an old saying, "Compassion is not in charge of soldiers, and righteousness is not in charge of wealth. I don't know if you've heard of it. ”
I sneered and said, "You mean to kill them too?"
"No, no, no," he waved his hand, "I just wonder how such a miraculous result could be achieved by an indecisive person like you." I have analyzed every one of your actions near Parabun before, and found that it is a very cold abandonment, but I did not expect that you are such a person to see with my own eyes. But what I'm going to say is that you've got an appetite for me. ”
"To appetite...... Are you a......" I frowned, turned around, and continued to worry.
"Ahem, that, didn't I say that I have a solution to your trouble?" said Tello with a smile as he leaned behind my ear.
I frowned, "If you have something to say, hurry up." ”
Tello laughed twice and said, "Do you know why the people of Calradia don't know much about what happened in the Skyrim? Because we have a unique spell called the Forgetfulness Charm, which can make people forget what happened for a period of time, and they can completely forget it. ”
I jerked my head back: "You mean to say that you cast a forgetfulness spell on these people, make them completely forget about these things in our base, and then we can let them go with peace of mind? What a good idea, why didn't you say it earlier!"
Turlo wiped his sweat awkwardly and said, "I just said there was such a spell, and I didn't say I would." ”
I was stunned, and subconsciously turned back to find a weapon that could allow me to slash this guy to death.
Turly cautiously took a few steps back and said, "But, I won't, it doesn't mean that others won't, I know that there is a person who will forget the mantra." ”
I stopped and looked at Tello incredulously, "Are you sure?
Tello shook his head: "I'm sure." Definitely not lying to you. ”
I put down the machete in my hand: "Who is it? Where do you live, not far from here?"
Tello smiled and said, "It may have been a little far away before, but now it should be quite close, he is the dragonborn I hate in Zenda I hate, the guy called Roar, as far as I know, he has the soul of my old enemy in his body, and that guy will forget the curse." 100% yes. ”
"......" I looked at Tello speechless.
Turroe smiled a little smugly.
With a trembling hand, I raised my musket and pointed it at the guy with a smile on his face: "I count to three, and I will disappear from front of me immediately......"
Tello coughed twice, "I don't know what that thing you have in your hand, but it looks like it's some powerful killing weapon." Don't get excited, don't get excited, that's just one of those who forgets the spell, and the other one will, and it's easy to find. ”
I aimed for Tello's face.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, hehe. Tello smiled and said, "Actually, it can't be regarded as a forgetfulness spell, maybe it's an innate special function." His name is Giggs, and he is locked up in your dungeon here, and he is also from our Skyrim Continent. ”
I found this Giggs at the very bottom of the dungeon of the Fourth Legion, under the guidance of Tello, a strange man, with dark skin all over his body, and his head was covered with fine pigtails, which looked as if his whole head was braided. There were two silver needles piercing his face, which passed through his cheeks, and there were many wounds on his body, some of which had festered, and he was bleeding purple-black pus.
Such a freak, with his hands trapped in a cross, and in his eyes with many whites and few pupils, looked at me coldly, and gave me goosebumps all over his body.
"Don't look at him like this, in fact, he is quite enthusiastic, and a little shy and introverted. Turro said with some smugness.
Enthusiastic, shy, introverted, I couldn't connect these three words with the person I saw in front of me anyway, so I had nothing to say, beckoned the jailer over there, and scolded him severely, how could I use such a cruel punishment, silver needle through the face, too inhumane.
The jailer innocently said: "The silver needle was not pierced by us, but he wore it himself, and how many times we tried to get it off, but the needle seemed to have pierced into the bone, and we couldn't get it off." Also, this guy is a madman, as long as you don't tie him up, he will beat people, we have been injured by him, and when no one beats him, he will harm himself, cut off pieces of his own flesh, and eat them in front of us......"
I waved my hand: "Okay, okay, you don't need to say it, I haven't eaten breakfast yet." ”
The jailer swallowed, frowning and grinning, as if he was disgusted by the disgust.
I said, "Tello, that's what you're talking about, warm-hearted, shy, introverted Ryan Giggs? ”
A trace of embarrassment crossed Tello's face, and he said with a smile: "Sometimes, that, Giggs can be a little hysterical, this, under normal circumstances, he is still very introverted, he is called split personality, a common disease in our sky. ”
I pouted and didn't speak.
Tello smiled, pulled out his dagger, went up two or three times to cut the rope that bound Giggs, and said, "Hey, old friend, are you alright? I'm ......."
Before Tello could finish his words, a dark shadow flashed before my eyes, and as soon as the dark-skinned Giggs left the cross, he immediately knocked Tello to the ground like a leopard, opened his mouth and bit Tello's neck, which instantly gave me goosebumps.
"Stop, stop, don't act like a zombie!! uh, what is a zombie?" Tello pushed Giggs away, twisted his hand, and pressed Giggs's joints, and the whole person pressed up.
Below Giggs struggled and writhed in anger before he was easily tied up again.
I looked at the panting Tello: "That's what you say, warm-hearted, shy, introverted?"
Tello wiped his sweat, frowned at the back of the bitten hand, and said a little unconfidently: "Under normal circumstances, he is indeed a normal person...... Well, it must be the wrong way we came in. ”
I sneered and was about to slam the door when I heard a low sobbing sound from behind me.
I jerked my head back, my eyes widening involuntarily.
It was Giggs, who fell to the ground like a brute with four hooves tied, but he actually opened his mouth and sobbed in pain, and tears were dripping down his eyes.
Tello breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Look, he's about to transform, and that enthusiastic, shy, introverted Giggs is about to appear." The forgetful Giggs is about to appear. ”
I crouched there and watched with bated breath for a long time, and finally Giggs cried and cried and fell asleep.
"He falls asleep every time he cries, and we're all used to it. The jailer wiped his nose and said, beckoning two men, and tied Giggs to the cross again.
I looked at Tello.
"What's that...... Give me another chance, dear!" Tello shouted from behind.
I turned my head and walked out: "When will this guy appear in front of me normally, you can think about the opportunity again!"
