178 Dark Canyon
Looking at the slightly hideous expression on the general's face, Karl's heart couldn't help sinking, he was born in the military and knew what this sentence meant, and couldn't help whispering something to the general with an anxious face, and peeking at Sheng Xuan from time to time, while the latter was pacing calmly towards the mercenary group at the moment, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

But no one knew, at this moment, Sheng Xuan was listening intently to the conversation between Carl and the general, "General Daru, I think all this must be a misunderstanding, we Luoye is just a small mercenary group, how dare we provoke those sons? besides, we don't even know each other, what reason do we have to provoke them?"
"Hmph, I don't think it's that simple, you can tell me it's a misunderstanding, do you want me to say the same thing to the above? Do you know who you just offended? That's the son of the Governor of Lille, the Governor of Lille, that's what I, a little general, can provoke? Even if Archduke Julio wants to give him three points of face, you don't have to explain it anymore, I didn't wait for the above instructions to send you to the battlefield, I have already given you a good face, in case someone is stabbed out, you and I can't eat and walk, and only by sending you to the battlefield as soon as possible can you avoid the retaliation of the governor of Lille, so don't talk to me about the conditions, you just go to the dark canyon, where you just need to replenish the army after a fierce battle. β
Hearing the Dark Canyon Karl's heart couldn't help but chuckle, in the hundreds of years of the Empire's history, there have been hundreds of wars with the Calais, half of which were fought in the Crolla Valley, and the Dark Canyon played the role of the main battlefield, and the casualties of the troops stationed there in each major battle would be as high as seventy percent, and now where he was assigned was tantamount to stepping into the graveyard of death with one foot.
Speaking of dark canyons, we have to talk about the Crolla Valley, that was a long, long time ago, the Crolla Valley used to be a plateau, and suddenly one day countless ice blocks fell from the sky, like a huge iceberg falling from the sky, covering a radius of tens of millions of kilometers, making it a world of ice, and the Crolla Plateau happened to be buried under the ice.
With the fragmentation and melting of the ice sheet, the entire plateau was forced to dig out a river valley that stretched for hundreds of kilometers, dividing the plateau into two from the middle, and in the countless years that followed, the river water of the ice melt continued to wash, on both sides of the originally irregular river valley, hundreds of canyons of different sizes were washed out, just like a giant mouth of a monster, of which there were more than a dozen canyons that stretched for hundreds of miles, and the dark canyon was only one of the dozen canyons.
After the ice and snow melted, the ice water slowly gathered together and turned into a frozen swamp with a radius of millions of miles, and the current famous snow-capped mountain is the remains of the iceberg that fell from the sky at that time.
The reason why the dark canyon is famous is not only because it is the largest of them, but because half of the wars between the two countries took place there, which adds countless bloody breaths to this deep canyon, it is said that because the countless souls caused by the war have been condensed in the canyon for a long time, so it is shrouded in fog all year round, and the soil on the ground is dyed red by blood.
Most of the main gorge of the Crolla Valley is now devoid of water, but the dry riverbed tells the story of the ferocity of the flood, which would not have carved out a valley more than forty miles wide on the hard plateau, into which the flood water that rises from the frozen swamps every summer and then flows down the gorge on the north bank into the interior of Calais, which, together with the abundant water flowing in the valley of the Red River, which is closest to the frozen swamps, completes Calais's rich agriculture.
But this canyon and the highlands divided into countless pieces completely block Calais's access to the Moondance Forest, and even if it can be entered through these canyons, the human and material resources consumed are all astronomical, so the location of the mercenary city is extremely important to both countries, and it is precisely because of this that countless battles have taken place in the dark canyon.
At this time, it was already the middle of autumn, and the river valley had entered a dry season, but this year was different from previous years, the river valley was full of people inside and outside, and in the depths of the dark canyon, there was a tide of people, and the two armies were engaged in another fierce battle here since the beginning of the war.
Carl suddenly felt a chill down his spine at the thought of the dark canyon, for this deep and terrifying canyon, his memory is particularly deep, the last time the two countries fought, he was in it, almost crawled out of the pile of dead people to pick up a life, now where will he be assigned again, how can he not be afraid?
He had just had a rather secret meeting with the Daru general at the recommendation of that Finney, during which Karl not only said many compliments that he felt embarrassed about, but also gave him a valuable meeting gift in order to show his respect for the general, which was a full 50,000 gold coins, even if he was a general of the army, it would probably be his salary for ten years.
All this is not to let the Fallen Leaf Mercenary Group have a good errand in this war, so that they can successfully get through this difficulty, but now because of this sudden change, everything has come to naught, and the 50,000 gold coins are even more wronged, just in exchange for the opportunity to go to the Dark Canyon immediately.
Karl stepped forward again to entangle General Daru, trying to salvage the situation, but his eyes were anxiously searching, trying to find the young Lord Finney and ask him to help him say a few more kind words.
But when Carl saw Finney, he found that he was thinking a little too naΓ―ve, at this moment Finney was hiding in the distance with a miserable face, for such a boy, it may be the first time to see such a bloody scene, and secondly, he was extremely shocked that this deciduous mercenary group dared to kill the guards of the Governor of Lille.
For him, the son of a little-known viscount, if it weren't for his father's personal relationship with General Daru, how could he climb to the high branches of the military department, for a son like the son of the governor of Lille, he usually stayed away from it, and easily did not dare to provoke, but now this small mercenary group killed the other party's guards and horses with a raise, he couldn't help but feel glad that he didn't deliberately make things difficult for the other party at the beginning, and he had a deep fear in his heart.
The person was introduced to General Daru by himself, but now such a thing has happened, in case he is implicated, I am afraid that he will also be sent to the front line, and at this moment he still dares to intercede for Karl?
Under Karl's constant entanglement, General Daru finally couldn't help but burst out, "Are you not satisfied with my dispatch? Well, I can integrate you into the stormtroopers, and you will be honored to participate in the first round of the next battle, I think this arrangement will satisfy you." After saying that, Daru turned around and was about to leave, and at this moment Karl was already stunned, he didn't expect that instead of convincing the other party, he would cause the other party to be so disgusted.
He really wanted to catch up and say something, or stuff some more gold coins, but his feet seemed to grow on the ground and he couldn't take a step, so he stood awkwardly and didn't know what to do, when suddenly someone behind him shouted, "Thank you for the kindness of the general, my deciduous mercenary group is honored to be able to participate in this glorious battle." β
This voice couldn't help but make Daru's footsteps pause, and then slowly turned around to look in the direction of the sound, this voice made him feel familiar, and it should be the voice of a very powerful adult, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while, he looked at everyone in the Fallen Leaf Mercenary Group carefully, but he felt that Reg's figure seemed to have seen it somewhere, but that face was so unfamiliar, which couldn't help but make him even more confused.
But in the end, it was the general of the military department, who could always come up with a suitable way for such a thing as quickly as possible, Daru couldn't help but look at Karl, and then slowly walked towards him.
When Daru's hand was on Karl's shoulder, Karl couldn't help but be shocked, but he didn't expect the general, who had just left angrily, to hug his shoulder like a brother in a blink of an eye, and his voice softened, " Brother Karl, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the basket you poked in this matter is indeed a bit bigger, in case it is not handled well, I am afraid that my position as a general will not be kept, so I decided to send you to the Dark Canyon, as soon as I can give an explanation to the above, I will say that this is a punishment for you, and you have been assigned a position, then the Governor of Lille may not be able to say anything even if he is angry in his heart, you go to the Dark Canyon now, I will send a handwritten letter later, where is the General Newman stationed and I have a good relationship, I also have a good understanding of him, and I will help you talk when the time comes, I believe Newman will put you in a suitable position, so you don't have to embarrass me here anymore. After saying that, he patted Carl on the shoulder meaningfully.
After hearing this, Carl knew that the matter was irreparable, but it was a blessing in misfortune to have a handwritten letter from Daru for that Newman to take care of, and he couldn't help but hurriedly bow down and salute, "Then thank you General Daru, this matter has caused you so much trouble, and when the war is over, if I Karl doesn't die, I will definitely come to thank you at that time." β
Daru's face couldn't help but change slightly when he heard this, but finally sighed softly, "Hey, Brother Karl, of course you don't know the difficulties if you are not in the position of the elder brother, and the relationship is complicated, and I am inconvenient to say it, I hope that your deciduous mercenary group can be retained in this war, and I have nothing to say if there is a place that needs my brother's help in the future, let's go." β
Then he waved his hand at Finney, "You take them to report to the Dark Canyon." After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the camp, and at this moment he heard a voice screaming, "Uncle, they are the ones who killed me, and they also cut the face of the little nephew, if it wasn't for the little nephew to dodge in time, I am afraid that he would have ended up in the same fate, uncle, you must be the master for me, and severely punish this gang of vicious murderers." β
Daru's face couldn't help but tremble, and he secretly screamed in his heart, he first glanced at Karl quickly, and then his gaze swept over Regg, and he couldn't help but pause again, but time didn't allow him to think about this person's identity anymore, so he had to withdraw his gaze and quickly run towards the comer.
"Lord Military and Political, how can such a trivial matter even alarm you. Daru said as he ran with a smile on his face. "Hmph, a small thing, don't you think it's a big deal if my nephew didn't lose his life?"
"Ah, no, no, no, even if I borrow my great courage, I don't dare to have that kind of thought, it's just γγγ just γγγ" Daru's face was already slightly sweaty at this time, but he still walked firmly to the military lord's horse, and then motioned for him to bow his head, and then whispered a few words in his ear, and with his words, the face of the military and political man couldn't help but be gloomy.
After Dalu finished speaking, Junzheng's face changed color, he couldn't help but raise his body and look carefully at the deciduous mercenary group, when his eyes fell on Rege, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked away, "These warriors are really outstanding, it's a pity to execute them so easily, since General Daru has made a decision, then I won't say anything, you immediately arrange for them to go to the dark canyon as soon as possible, where is the urgent need for reinforcement, okay, this matter is like this." β
After saying that, the military and political lord turned his horse and walked towards the camp, just now the boy brother was still waiting with a smile to watch a good show, but he didn't expect things to be so lightly passed, and he suddenly became a little anxious, and hurriedly shouted to the military and political lord, "Uncle, do you just let them go?"
Jun Zheng gently reined in the horse, then turned around and glared at him fiercely, "Hmph, how do I teach you on weekdays?" You actually galloped in the barracks, and first did something to the mercenaries who came to report, although they dared to kill people and were indeed guilty, but now is the time to employ people, and General Daru has already made a fair deal, not only did you hide the facts from me, but now you even dare to yell at me, don't hurry up and follow me in, see how I clean you up. β
Hearing this, the boy's face suddenly changed drastically, but he didn't dare not listen to this uncle's words, so he had to dismiss the horse very reluctantly, but he didn't forget to throw a vicious look at the fallen leaves at the moment he turned around.
Karl couldn't believe what he saw, even though he had been a Janissary of the Grand Duke and had some reliance in the army, he still couldn't believe that it was all true, until Reg shouted at him, "Carl, you're not back yet?" β
Karl then withdrew his puzzled gaze from the military and general Daru, and then quickly ran back to the team, at this time Finney was completely dumbfounded, and Reg shouted to him with a smile, "Young lord, I still have to bother you to show us the way." Only then did he come to his senses and rushed over with a small group of his own people, but he didn't know what to call them, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "Your lords turned out to be hidden, and you can retreat after being able to kill the entourage of the Governor of Lille. β
Reg smiled, "The young lord is polite, we are not adults, but we have met the military and political lords and the Daru generals are so fair, it is really the blessing of my principality." A few gossips were equivalent to not saying anything, but Finney nodded again and again, and then raised his hand respectfully, "Little brother, I'll take a few big brothers to report to the Dark Canyon." β
