Chapter 4: Deliberation (2)

Seeing Angus go and return, Levi was really a little flustered, and he thought that the play he was acting in had been discovered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But seeing that the other party is serious, the restless heart finally stabilized.

"Tell me quickly, I'm still in a hurry to plan something big?" he said impatiently, "Do you know that because you came like this, my train of thought has been disrupted by you." And when you come in, can you knock on the door first?"

"I'm sorry, my lord, but it's too important. Angus bowed his head unwillingly and apologized, his stiff expression expressing his disdain.

Are you sure you're doing big things, not fooling around?

But now is not the time to lose your temper.

The knight gentleman got straight to the point, "My lord, just last night, the team of Hippogriff knights sent to follow the Dragonborn discovered something unusual. In the barren hills to the east of the town, they saw some traces of battle. After careful investigation, the knights determined that this was a robbery against a merchant traveler, and that it had occurred at noon yesterday. And the most bizarre thing is that among the corpses at the scene, they found a lot of gray lizard human remains, among which there are also many inferior dragon man warlocks. Especially the latter, they found a badly injured and dying guy and brought it back. Last night, we got very bad news from it. ”

After a deliberate pause, he sighed heavily, "Lord Lord, those rumors about lizardmen earlier are true!"

Angus thought that as soon as he said this, the other party would be immediately startled, but he didn't expect Levi to continue to look at him blankly, and asked with a smile - "What kind of rumor, can you make it clear?"

The relationship was directly forgotten.

Angus felt tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, and he couldn't breathe.

In fact, Levi was also thinking carefully at this moment, but found nothing.

It's just that when the other party said about the gray lizard and the inferior dragon man warlock, two special images appeared in his mind, both of which were half human-like and half lizard-like, but one tall and one short.

Levi knew that these were two intelligent beings who were related by blood.

And in the Roland world, there are many, many such humanoid intelligent creatures, it is said that there are no less than a hundred. There are not only lizard-like birds, but also elves, dwarves, giants, and other relatively familiar strange races.

"Alas, have you forgotten that it's the Sunset Swamp, the Lizardmen War?" Angus complained with a look of "hatred of iron and steel", "You laughed at me at the time, saying that it was absolutely impossible, and swore that 'that wizard named Evan Ash must be dead, this is definitely a rumor'." He imitated Levi's way of speaking and mocked twice.

"But from the mouth of the captive, we get confirmation. This wizard did appear in a tribe of bronze lizardmen, and helped the tribe unify the entire Sunset Swamp. According to it, what else did they establish the Asis Kingdom a month ago. Now all the lizardmen there, including the bronze lizardmen, silver lizardmen, gray lizardmen, and iron lizardmen, have all joined the kingdom. Even with the help of a great victory, they have subdued all the jungle monsters and wild demons there, and a scorpion of men said to come from the ground has also surrendered to them. ”

Hearing this, Levi's face suddenly sank, "Are you really fake, this kind of thing really happened in the Sunset Swamp?"

"That's exactly what the Bad Dragonman Warlock we captured, that's exactly what he said. Angus said very seriously, "I think it's true nine times out of ten." Because our town is located in the limestone hills, across the Sunset Swamp is the Great Heath of Kamothy, the territory of the Minotaurs and the Fiery Giants. Both of these mighty races hate lizardfolk immen. The Fire-Haired Giants, in particular, will nail these robbers to their tribe's fiery maple giant trees as soon as they catch them. If something hadn't happened, the lizardfolk wouldn't have migrated across the wasteland to us. According to the Bad Dragonman, they did this purely out of fear of retribution, because their tribe had a feud with the Bronze Lizardmen who established their kingdom. In the same situation as them, there are quite a few. In the past two months, they have all escaped from the sunset swamp and found their own way out. Lizardmen are famous for their small-bellied chicken intestines. ”

"How do I feel that there is something wrong with what they say?If the firing giants and the minotaur have a grudge against them, why do they still kill themselves?, is there no way to live in the sunset swamp, but there is one in the wasteland?" Levi heard Angus spit out a series of unfamiliar terms, and began to nervously recall, "It's not lying, is it? The lizardman is very cunning and shameless, and the gray lizardman is relatively straightforward, but he can't be careless." ”

"That's because you don't know much about the Great Heath of Camossi, it's a very narrow place. The fiery giants and minotaurs are nomadic people, and the population is not too large to see every corner of the wasteland. This gives these fleeing guys an opportunity to take advantage of. And the kingdom of Asis, if it wants to hunt them down, will have to pass through the Great Wasteland. Because of the relationship between the fiery giants, it is difficult to send a large number of troops. A dozen or twenty lizardmen can slip through, but it doesn't mean that an army of thousands of lizards can. So, as long as you pass through this wasteland, it in turn becomes a barrier to protect itself. It's a big risk, but it's worth it. ”

Angus finally added with a blank face, "Your Excellency, you really should be a little more focused on business. Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed here for half a year and didn't even know about it. ”

Levi also felt a little embarrassed to be reprimanded by him, but now was not the time for him to be ashamed.

"Then what can we do?" he said, pretending to be surprised, with a look of horror on his face, "Knight Angus, you go and get people to prepare, so that the people of the town can go buy weapons and stock up on food now." Otherwise, if the lizardman kingdom comes to us, we will have a big problem, they are born bandits!"

"My lord, you don't need to do this. In my opinion, we just need to be careful, after all, we are separated from them by a big wasteland. Even if something happens, there are also fiery giants and minotaurs to block us. Angus shook his head helplessly when he saw Levi's frightened look, "You don't have to worry too much. I'm telling you this, just to ask you to order a purge of the individual guys who have wandered here. Also, can you calm down in times of trouble? As a lord, you have to inspire others with your courage and use your ......."

"Don't be a fool, my knight. Levi "bang" and "bang" slapped the table twice, "How can our safety be in the hands of others! You go and release this news now, don't delay." I remember, you told me at the time that if this happened, it would be like a sword hanging over our heads, and we must deal with it carefully with the attitude of walking on the glacier in winter. Why did you forget about it yourself now that it was coming?"

Angus was speechless, and he suddenly remembered that he had indeed said such a thing. Caught talking again, he wanted to slap himself a few times.

Who told you to be talkative?

He regretted not being at the beginning.

"Don't go yet!" Levi roared again when he saw that he was still here, and there was still a bit of panic and panic on his face.

Taking a deep breath, Angus finally turned around silently, pushed the door and went out. Of course, the moment he walked outside the door and closed the door, he gave a hard middle finger to the mahogany door.

"Coward!"

Then, he continued to lament and sigh, mourning that his good boy had defected to such a timid bastard, which was really fateful.

But Levi, who was still in the house, had a dark face.

He is still very satisfied with Angus, but there is only one thing that he has always disapproved, and that is vision.

Angus was born into a small, dilapidated family and became a mercenary at an early age. Although he has extraordinary skills, his vision is not much higher than that of ordinary people. After all, the level of the circle he contacted was too low. In such an information-closed world, many things are not well understood.

But the young master Li Wei who he possessed was different.

So the two of them have different interpretations of this matter.

Reminded by Angus, Levi quickly remembered the news of "Evan Ash" earlier. But "he" objected at the time, thinking that this was nonsense, because he knew that if it was really this one, then he would never surrender his identity to get involved in the tribal conflict with the lizardmen. This trivial thing is also worth doing.

But when this was confirmed, Levi immediately reacted, and he in turn understood that the other party's plan was definitely more than that.

Tossing out a lizardman kingdom, it's amazing. But what does it count compared to what this man has done before?

As early as in the family collection, Levi, who had read Aiwen's information in its entirety, naturally understood that the land under his feet would soon blow a bloody storm.

Therefore, he could only pretend to be frightened and force Angus to prepare in advance. It's only been a day, and it's not easy for Levi to put on a calm and commanding appearance.

And that gave him another reminder.

That has to be done quickly!

Thinking of the dragonborn beast, Levi couldn't help but clench his fists. In such a dangerous world, we must strengthen ourselves as soon as possible. And it is your starting point.
