Chapter 34: Offering Sins
Just as a raven feeds on carrion, a warrior lives by fighting, forging bones and bones out of steel, and treating iron armor as skin, blood is a flame that is extinguished when it cools. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ Info does not cherish the beauty of life, nor is he afraid of the pain of death, neither has the magic power that can shake the world like a mage, nor is he admired like a knight, so he regards scars as medals and enshrines strength as faith. Standing on the top of the mountains, thousands of troops are no more than ants.
Ling Chen recalled the words he had just seen outside the camp tent and carved on the stone wall with the unique characters of the dog clan, and looked at the king of the clan, Bai Sideburns V, who was obviously more respectful to him, and sure enough, for this kind of race with strong faith, showing strength was the fastest way to make them recognize themselves. What?Is the previous battle with the Wolf King important?Anyway, the result is already doomed, the process is just the process, do you really want to see me dance with the beasts in the arena like a clown?So let's all save some time to get to the point, the game with the beast is not just a battle, it's just a ......
"This is Sasha Crimson. My chief of staff, you should have come to discuss something involving my people with me, and you shouldn't mind if she was there, after all, we werewolves don't have good brains!" said the wolf king, tapping his head.
Don't you mind? Ling Chen nodded with a smile and sat down, it seems that this wolf king is not a warrior with only brute strength, after all, how many people who can sit in this position will be mediocre? Ling Chen looked at the chief of staff of the wolf king. Sure enough, it was a woman of the fox clan. Ling Chen's cognition of foxes is still very familiar, after all, the head of Resnot's director, Thousand Scales Crimson, is also a member of the fox clan, this race does not have strong combat power like werewolves, and does not want to be as numerous as kobolds, but they have no less wisdom than humans, and at the same time inherit the unique sense of smell and strong perception and insight of the canine race, which is why the Thousand Scales Crimson who is a foreign race can become the head of Resnot. Speaking of which, the fox clan is still the most beautiful race in the whole clan, and the fox woman in front of her also shows the characteristics of the fox clan very well, and has seen so many dog people in the past few days, I have to say that this is just the most pleasing to the eye for Ling Chen, but perhaps the reason for the different races is just to stay in the eye, and it has not made Ling Chen feel how sultry she is.
"In that case, then human warriors, you have spoken your mind!" said the Wolf King.
"Do you know Prince Lingchen Rennot?"
"The second prince of Resnotte. Sasha said, "Resnot is far away from us, this prince should still be the leader of your Order Legion, right?"
"Do you know that Renthnot is running for the crown prince?"
Sasha nodded, "But I just know that there is such a thing." β
It seems that for the Canine Clan, who the prince of Resnot is does not attract their attention, Ling Chen does not think that they will deliberately conceal it, first of all, the Canine Clan is not the real ruler of the Oak Kingdom, and secondly, as Sasha said just now, there is a whole Vic Sanctuary between the two countries, just like if Ling Chen hadn't come here, he wouldn't even know that the name of the ruler of the Canine Clan was White Sideburns V.
"My master is His Royal Highness Lingchen Reisnot, and I have come here in the hope that the nobles will help His Highness to run for the crown prince. Ling Chen looked at the wolf king and said, although there was a fox man next to him who helped him with his ideas, but Ling Chen knew that the final decision was in the hands of this wolf king, and this wolf king must prefer such a direct conversation to beat around the bush.
"How do you want us to support that Dusty Prince?" Sasha asked.
"Whether it is the labor force of the kobolds or the combat effectiveness of the werewolves, they are all top-notch, Your Highness hopes that the nobles can provide the necessary manpower for Your Highness when needed, in fact, Your Highness means that not only this royal election, if you can, Your Highness hopes to establish long-term cooperation with the nobles. β
"So what benefits can we gain?" Sasha said, looking into Ling Chen's eyes.
"What do the nobles want?"
Sasha blinked, "Mr. Lei Ling, we need time to discuss." β
Ling Chen nodded: "But before that." Ling Chen took off his sword, this sword was made by Snowal's best craftsmen, and it was a gift from the king on the day Ling Chen became the commander of the legion: "No offense, I have been in the nobility for a while, and with all due respect, the construction technology and forging techniques of the nobility are very backward in my opinion. I don't think His Highness Ling Chen would mind gifting your forging and building skills to your nobles. "Nothing grabs a warrior's attention like sharper weapons and tougher armor, and if there is, then it is......
"I heard that the nobles have always been the most powerful race in the era of the Hundred Years' War, and because of the carelessness of the moment, they were captured by the herdsmen, although the three major clans of the Oak Kingdom are relatively peaceful now, but the ruling power of the kingdom belongs to the herdsmen, doesn't the white sideburns patriarch want the nobles to return to the glory of the past?"
War, just like the stone tablet carved outside the camp tent, the soldier lives on war, by nature, blood, and wildness. Ling Chen didn't believe that these fighting guys could control it.
"Mr. Lei Ling!" Sasha interrupted Ling Chen's words, "I already understand what you mean. Could you please recuse yourself for a moment?"
The corners of Ling Chen's mouth twitched, it seemed that his words had hit the point, since this was the case, he wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and stood up: "Okay!" casually pushed the saber on the table towards the wolf king: "This is my personal gift to the patriarch, whether we can cooperate or not, it is my honor to meet the patriarch." Please also ask the patriarch to accept it. β
Out of the wolf king's tent, I still have to admit that although the various crafts of the canine clan make you dislike Lingchen, but the construction technology of this camp is really powerful, compared with the tent used in Resnot's own military camp that was only used for temporary residence, in this peculiar race, the camp tent is a symbol of status, so whether it is the fabric, or the decoration of the items in the tent, or even the carpet are showing the status of the tent people, squinting at Lu Feier, who was a little puzzled on the side, and shook his head, the noble race of elves should not be cut to live in tentsοΌ
Obviously, he didn't guess what Ling Chen was thinking, but Lu Fei also had his own thoughts: "Ling Chen, were you inciting the White Temples Patriarch to start a war just now?"
Yes...... I forgot that there was also a Vik believer by her side, and she must be an anti-war activist who was deeply influenced by the Vik Church, right? After all, the Vik Church is a peace-seeking order. Ling Chen didn't answer her, and Lu Feier, who was becoming more and more familiar with Ling Chen, knew that this was a tacit acquiescence.
"Why? The Hundred Years' War has just ended, do you want to start another war in order to become king?"
Ling Chen still answered with silence, looking at the stone tablet with the inscription of the warrior in front of him.
"A lot of people will lose their lives in this way!!" Lou Fil raised his voice, and there was a hint of anger in his tone.
Ling Chen leaned against the stone tablet and hugged his hands, the wind gently raised his hair, looking at the elf in front of him Ling Chen smiled self-deprecatingly, do you know why I hate hypocritical people? Of course, it's because of same-sex repulsion!
"As you saw just now, there is a price to be paid for any race to let them help us, even if I become a king and have the authority of a king, do you think they will agree to tell them to help me prevent the so-called end of the world that is not even clear in time?"
"Huh?"
"It's the same regardless of race, what you want them to do is first of all to have a good relationship with them, and then to give them what they want, and that's what I'm doing now, and with this partnership, it's a lot easier to get them to help later. β
"But you shouldn't use war as a bargaining chip!!"
"If I fail, and the world is really destroyed as the Divine Servant said, then it is not just the number of wars that die. β
"However, the world may not really be destroyed!!"
"What??, devout believers, are you doubting the warnings given by the gods?" Ling Chen smiled: "Then it's too urgent to give up now!, so I can continue to go back to be my carefree little prince!!"
"You!!" Along the way, Lu Fei thought that he had gradually understood Ling Chen, and thought that he was just a person who was indifferent on the surface: "If it really starts a war, aren't you afraid that the soldiers who died in this battle will come to you to ask for their lives?"
"A warrior, but it is an honor to die on the battlefield. Ling Chen gently patted the stone slab behind him: "I think they will not only come to ask for my life, but will also come to thank me, so that their rusty bones and skin have another chance to come in handy." β
Lu Feier looked at Ling Chen angrily, and suddenly she couldn't help but have some doubts, and couldn't help but take a step back, leaning against the stone wall behind her: "You, do you really want to save the world?"
"......" Ling Chen looked at Lu Feier's sincere eyes: "Yes!" walked towards Lu Fei and slapped his palm on the stone wall behind Lu Feier: "Since you have chosen me, follow me obediently! There has never been anything in this world that can be achieved without paying, sacrifice is just a means of payment, and what we want to achieve is to save the world! Those who die because of this should be glad that their death has allowed this world to survive." Got it, Christians?"
Lufel didn't know how to answer, she was a little scared, a little confused, but what she realized was that everyone's life has its own meaning, so as a messenger of God, she should be close to what she can to give them salvation and guide them to the right path. However, the words of the man in front of him seemed to say that some people are destined to die from the end of their lives......
Isn't it? People are going to die, and I'm just getting their sentences forward. Ling Chen straightened his collar, I don't plan to sing the praises of this ignorant world, so in this case, it is better for me to sacrifice my sins for this world, anyway, there are many ways to save it, why do you have to choose the glamorous one?
