Chapter 196: Trust
"Xiaohong, you take a thousand sisters from your headquarters back to New Chanda, and tell Rolf that the Dark Order is a little more powerful than we thought. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Old G said as he pulled out the crossbow bolt embedded in the armor behind his back, and he suddenly noticed that a crossbow bolt on his back was deeply embedded in the heart, and it had penetrated the armor, and the sharp arrow cluster hit the flesh. He couldn't touch it.
"Satsuki, come and help me pull out this arrow. Old G turned around and said with his back to Satsuki.
Satsuki suddenly shuddered and subconsciously took a step back.
"What are you waiting for, come on. Old G said, as he spoke, he put the king's sword back into its scabbard, spread out a piece of parchment on the ground, and wrote and drew something.
Xiao Yue slowly walked behind Lao G, her hand actually trembled slightly, and she hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped at the tail of the crossbow.
"Pluck it. Old G said, he adjusted his sitting posture to make it easier for Xiaoyue to pull it out.
But Satsuki didn't move, she held the crossbow and stood still like a statue.
Xiao Hong, who was ordering troops on the side, also noticed the abnormality here, she turned her head, and just saw a crystal tear in Xiao Yue's eyes that was about to fall.
But she didn't notice that Satsuki was standing like a statue at the moment, and the old G, who was sitting in front of Satsuki and spreading out the parchment, had turned into a statue at some point, holding a pen, but he didn't write anything more.
Old G's face was calm, and he stared blankly at the blank parchment, as if he was waiting for something.
"Pull it out, Satsuki. Old G said calmly, "I believe in you." ”
With these words, Satsuki seemed to wake up from a dream, and her other hand was on the crossbow, but as everyone guessed, the weight of her whole body pressed on the crossbow arrow, pushing it inward.
The sharp arrows broke through the flesh, and Old G's brow jumped heavily, as if it was in pain.
Xiao Yue was sobbing, and tears were falling on the armor on Lao G's back, and at this time, everyone reacted. The first to react was the nearest Xiaohong, who screamed in horror and kicked her companion Satsuki to the ground with a kick.
"What are you doing!" Hong's voice became sharp and high-pitched, and with a single swipe, she pulled out the saber at her waist and rested it on Satsuki's neck.
Satsuki just closed her eyes in pain, tears pouring out of her eyes.
"Let her go. Old G sighed heavily, stood up on his knees, and as he stood up, the crossbow bolt that had already entered the flesh actually erupted on its own, and its tail pierced into the dirt.
Blood immediately poured out of the wound, staining a piece of armor red.
"Tell me, why. Old G said calmly, "Why didn't you take advantage of the opportunity I gave you?"
Satsuki sobbed and opened her eyes, her face flushed, soaked with tears, "My parents are not dead!" Satsuki shouted, "I thought they were dead, but they weren't......! They've joined the Dark Order!woowoo......"
All the female swordsmen, including Xiaohong, who pointed her sword at Satsuki, frowned with disdain.
"So, do you want to join in too?" asked Old G calmly.
"No!" Satsuki's answer was crisp and categorical, she shook her head desperately as she answered, "I just want to get them back!" Hull said, as long as I kill you, she will let them go!"
Xiao Yue pointed at Xiao Hong again and said, "It's not just me, your father is not dead, he is also in the Dark Order, kill Old G, your father will also come back!"
Xiaohong seemed to have been bitten by a poisonous snake, and her whole body was shocked, and she took a step back with convulsions.
"And you!you!you!" Xiao Yue pointed a few more times at the female swordsmen who surrounded her, and the female swordsmen who were pointed at all trembled and stepped back, their faces pale.
"So you don't hesitate to kill me?" said Old G, "just because of this?"
Xiao Yue's face turned red: "I miss my parents, I want them to come back!
Old G nodded: "I understand you." Where did you get the news?"
Xiao Yue's face immediately showed a trace of vigilance: "Why are you asking this?"
Old G did not answer, but looked up at the sky and said, "Do you know why I asked you to draw your sword for me?" is because I believe in you, and believe that those who have followed me for nearly three years will not betray me, because we all have a hope, which is sacred and cannot be defiled, and can even sacrifice everything for it. Old G lowered his head, looked at Xiao Yue and said, "Of course, I won't force someone to sacrifice, it's inhumane." All I can hope for is that after you have made your choice, you will not regret your choice in the future. ”
Satsuki vigilantly grabbed the long sword at her waist.
"I won't kill you. Old G closed his eyes, paused, and twitched his brow in pain, "But you're no longer suitable for the team of female swordsmen." You go, from now on, you are an ordinary person. ”
After Lao G finished speaking, he opened his eyes, looked around at the female swordsmen around him who were lost and their morale was at their lowest, and then said: "As for you, Xiaohong, you still go to complete the task I gave you, and the others, I will take you to save your relatives!"
As if she had been stabbed by something, Satsuki bounced off the ground: "What did you say?!"
Old G nodded: "That's right, I'll take you to save your relatives...... Of course, it also includes Satsuki yours. I already knew where they were, and of course, I knew about you, and your connector...... There's nothing I don't know. ”
After Lao G finished speaking, he stepped on his war horse, turned his head and glanced at the far south, the base of a certain valley that had been in the hidden fog, and then he whipped his horse in the direction of a large city in the north, and galloped first.
He ran so fast that no one saw the corner of his eye, and a tear kept streaming down his face.
After breaking through this dense forest area, the Eighth Legion of the Dark Order took a short rest, and then the Eighth Legion, which was not broken, continued to advance southward, and its troops were directed ten miles to the city of New Chanda. Behind them, the main force of the Central Army of Yumengund also arrived in the empty Udinillard, and began to build the first supply transfer station since the landing of the Central Army, and the baggage supplies that had been stored at the checkpoint in the Yuu River Delta also began to be transported to Udenillard in an endless stream under the escort of the Twentieth Army.
The big war is coming!
The news of the Eighth Legion's successful breakthrough of the female swordsman regiment soon reached Udinenirad, and Eumengund laughed and praised, "It is worthy of the dog of the Heim Underworld!" and the news of the successful breakthrough of the Eighth Legion was accompanied by a military report from the fleet of the 13th, 14th, and 19th Legions. The "Provisional Three-Man Command Group" led by Casper jointly signed the battle report, giving Yumengund a detailed report on the position of the fleet at the moment, the time it was preparing for battle, and the series of ambushes and obstructions they had encountered before.
"How tricky is it?" said Yumengund as he flipped through the military newspaper, his face slowly darkened, and the joy brought by the victory of the Eighth Legion slowly disappeared at this time.
"What's wrong?" asked Sirnett, the commander of the Ninth Army on the side, with courage.
"Arnold is dead. Yumengander slowly closed the newspaper and tore it to shreds, "They also met with resistance, and it seemed to be tricky. ”
Sirknight immediately said, "Do you need support? Our Ninth Legion is on standby!"
Eumengander shook his head again: "No! Although Gam mustered up the fighting spirit again, the losses of the Eighth Legion are still very heavy, and the Twentieth Legion has to maintain the safety of the supply line, and we are only left with my Third and your Ninth Legion along the way, if we divide it again, we will not be able to achieve our set strategic goals, if it turns into a protracted war, it will be very unfavorable to us, and the wolf of Finreal will find an opportunity." ”
"What then?" asked Szellnett.
Yumengnd didn't answer quickly, but just crossed his fingers and thought about it, and said, "Caspar is a talent. Twenty years ago, his father Carlos was very valued by the high priest, and in the past few years, I have gradually been able to take charge on my own. Leave it to him, and he'll do it. ”
Sernai nodded.
"As for you. Yumengander stood up, "You press up, cover Garm's flank, and see that he can't do it, so take him off and fight Zenda, we can't lose too much, otherwise we won't be able to fight Finreal in the future." ”
Srnet paused: "Understood!" and turned and walked out.
Yumengund watched Srnet leave, turned around and beckoned to the adjutant behind him: "Is there any news from Ruda?"
The adjutant carefully flipped through the papers in his arms and whispered, "Rudayar has secretly crossed the Yu River and arrived near McCann, and Olaf Yar and Gondeyar have also sent a message that they are by King Ragnar's side and ready to do so at any time." ”
Yumengund's eyes burst out with a terrifying essence: "Let them not be in a hurry to make a move, let them encourage the old boy of Ragnar, let him go to Zenda first, this hard bone, let this old guy gnaw loose first." ”
The adjutant made a note on the paper, turned around and was about to go out, but was stopped by Yumengand: "Xiao Gang...... Do you now know why I always have to create such a reckless image in front of others?"
The adjutant paused, nodded with a smile, didn't say anything, and walked straight out of the tent door.
Yumengnd slowly clenched his fists, and laughed as well, a rare gentle smile appeared on his hideous black face, and he muttered: "If you know, Xiaogang, don't embarrass your father and me......"
At noon on 6 June, in the steaming upper reaches of the You River, a troop of nearly 10,000 people was crossing the river in three groups, making a large splash in the shallow water.
This unit, most of them dressed in studded leather armor, with large axes and shields and beards, and from time to time talked loudly in a Nord accent, such a scene of crossing the river lasted from morning to noon, and the number of people crossing the river became more and more numerous.
By twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the troops had finally succeeded in moving from the west bank of the Yu River to the east bank, and they sat down on the grassy and rocky beach on the bank of the river, and cut the dried meat with their hand axes and knives on their shields.
"Hurry up, eat quickly! I'm going to do Zenda soon!" a herald on a horse ran back and forth between the three crowds, urging constantly.
"Why do Rudayar want us to go to Zenda, don't they have a good relationship with us?" said a Nord man, mumbling as he shoved dried meat into his mouth.
"You don't know this, I heard that the good relationship with us is the Count of Arassis before Chanda, who will send us hundreds of thousands of tributes every year, but Arassis was exiled by his men two years ago, and Chanda's current master, the one named Lao G is a bandit leader, I heard that he is still Nabal's brother, and he has never given us tribute. Another older Nord said as he munched on smoked fish.
"But I heard that old G is a good man...... "A child soldier in his early twenties said timidly, but immediately burst into laughter.
"Good man, what mercenary have you ever seen who killed his own count be a good man?" said an old Nord with a long beard, sharpening his axe.
The child soldier stopped talking.
"Have you eaten all of you?" the scout on the pack horse came running again, "Check your gear when you're done, and get ready to go!"
"That guy is a nuisance. The old Nord man gnawed the tail of the smoked fish in his hand three times and twice, rubbed his hands on the leather armor, and stood up with his long battle axe, "Let's go, little rabbit cubs, follow Lord Yar to Chanda to grab money, food, and women!"
This sentence immediately set off a wave of frenzy in the gathering place of black oppression, and the Nords ate the dry food in their hands with three blows and two blows, brandishing large axes and cheering.
In the distance in the trees, two pairs of anxious eyes flashed.
Zenda, Kai and Rogge, who had just returned to Zenda with two thousand freelancers, had not had time to drink a saliva when they heard the maddening news of the scout's return.
"What are you talking about? There's a Nord army of tens of thousands of people gathered at McCann?, and their target is Chanda?!" Kai grabbed the scout's shoulder, his eyes about to fly out of his round sockets.
"That's right. The scout smiled bitterly and said, "I can hear it clearly, they are shouting to go into Zenda, to grab money, food, and women, so loud that I can hear them for miles, and I also see the flag of their leader, which is the banner of Rudayar across the river." ”
Kai was stunned, his teeth rattled, let go of the scout who was frowning in pain, and then angrily slammed his fist on the city wall, "That guy Ruda! must have taken advantage of the fire to rob Alassis! Didn't he think that Chanda had fallen, and he Rudabao would not be spared?" Rogge on the side pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid, Ruda is aware of this matter, and he still insists on doing this, there may be only one reason......"
"He's been bought by the Dark Order!" Kai took Rogge's words in no uncertain terms, "That's the only way to stab us in the back at this time!" Damn, this is clearly being used as a spear by the Dark Order, but we can't help but accept it! Seeing that their fleet is getting closer and closer to us, if we divide our troops, the pressure on Old Chanda will be great; if we don't divide them, wait until the Nord soldiers come to the city...... With the big shield axes of those Nord madmen, coupled with the siege weapons on the ships of the Dark Order, Old Chanda will definitely not be spared!"
