Chapter 004 Occupation Invitation
"She hid in a hut in the south of the city, as if she didn't hear the evacuation signal from the guards, the lord and I wanted to evacuate from the south gate, but on the way we met several chamber knights, they found the old lady first, I rescued her, but then ..... Damn, it's all my fault. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Aiden lowered his eyes, looking very frustrated.
"What about after the torrent?" Alan asked.
"Actually, I have to thank this flood, if it comes a little later, the lord and I will definitely die under the spear!" Aiden gritted his teeth and half-sat up, "At that time, the knights of the Chamber of Commerce launched a charge against me and the lord, it must have been the god Namu who helped us, and the flood swept us all in....."
"And after that?" Selsey sighed, "and you're unconscious?"
"Yes, the hurricane is too violent!" Aiden looked up, "Captain Selcy, your eyes ....."
"It's nothing, I was a little injured when I evacuated to protect the city. Sersi understated.
"Rest well, I hope your feet will get better soon, we still have a long way to go. Alan stood up on his knees, as if trying to avoid something.
"Where are we going next?" Aiden tilted his head to look at his injured right leg.
"I don't know. Alan replied in a stiff tone, "Damn, that's what Kenny should have considered!"
"But we haven't found him yet. Sersi bowed his head regretfully, "Man, you are also Dalton, on this continent, the territory is hereditary, if ....." he pouted his face and lowered his voice, "I mean, if he is really killed, then you are the new lord....."
"Hey, don't use all this red tape to weigh me down!" Alan walked over to the campfire and sat down cross-legged, "I've never thought about being a lord, I just want to find out how my father died, that's all." ”
"There are tens of thousands of lives over there!" Sersi raised his voice and raised his hand to the distance, "You want to abandon it and walk away?" He walked quickly over to Alan and sat down, "Man, I have to warn you that you are at least half to blame for the dam collapse!"
"What?!" Alan turned his face sharply, "It was Kenny's refusal to pay the commission that caused Maga to destroy the dam, don't put all the blame on me!"
"He didn't know all of this before!" Sersi insisted, "If he knew things would turn out the way they were, he wouldn't have made that bet with you!"
Alan looked at Sersi's hair-blown glare, and immediately put away his indifferent expression. "Got it. He finally said.
"Then think about where we're going next. Sercy's voice also dimmed.
"Yes, Captain Sersi. Alan pursed his lips and lay down on the dew-stained grass.
He looked at the night sky in the beginning of spring, and the stars were just emerging, and without the lights, the stars seemed to be brighter than ever. The little dots that twinkle and twinkle seem to be joining into lines, and then separating from the lines into dots, sometimes they are connected, sometimes they are separated, they are dazzling when they are separated, they are shining when they are connected, and finally they become a long river, flowing from south to north, through the whole firmament.
"Brother, get up, it's not good!!"
Alan was shaken awake in his sleep. He didn't know how long he had been asleep, the bonfire beside him had been extinguished, and the moment he opened his eyes, the first thing that caught his eye was Mio's anxious face, and not far behind him, countless torches flickered.
"Say, what's wrong?" Alan quickly got up and turned his head to look at the fire not far away.
"Chase, the pursuers are coming!!" Mio shouted in a panic.
"Chasers?" Alan rolled over his horse, "Damn, where did Selsey go?"
"I'm confronting them!"
In the next second, the horse flew out like a sharp arrow.
In the blink of an eye, Alan made his way through the sea of people, tightening the reins before the intruding pursuers, and what appeared in front of him was a spirited mercenary, and the white-haired Maga stood on his horse, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
"Hey, Lord Allen, long time no see!" he said with a smile as he stroked the black mane of the horse under his crotch.
Alan frowned, looking a little confused, but instead of drawing his sword, he straightened his horse's head and retreated to Sersi's side. "What do they want?" he asked in a low voice, "why didn't they go to war?"
"He wanted to invite us in. Sersi tilted her head and whispered.
"What?" Alan couldn't help but smile, "He's crazy?"
"Lord Allen, I'm talking to you!" Maga's tone became a little displeased, "You're rude!"
"Draw your sword, old fellow!!!" Alan tilted his head in a contemptuous tone.
"I'm not here to fight you!" Maga straightened up, "Today, on behalf of the King of Assyria, I will formally extend an invitation to you," he declared, "I hope you will lead the Alliance Army to join Assyria, and my King will crown you as—"
"Shut up!" Alan raised his chin and shouted, "You old dog, have you changed owners again?"
There was an immediate burst of laughter from the Coalition troops. For a long time, Maga stood on his horse, opened his mouth, and thought for a long time without spitting out half a word. His gaze changed from solemn at first to panicked, then to angry, and finally to sigh and become serious again.
"You should be respectful!" he finally said.
"Oh, damn it, I think you're the one who should learn to be respected the most here!" said Allen, in Maga's stern tone, "don't you think you're ashamed of Nippur, of the five thousand gold coins, of the honor of the mercenaries, and of the good-looking saber at your waist?"
"At least I am not ashamed of the seven hundred brothers behind me!" Maga cried in the highest voice, "and you have made the faithful citizens of the city homeless beggars!
"It's all because of you!!" Sersi roared angrily, "We gave you enough pay, and you destroyed the dam!Maga, you'll soon regret your recklessness tonight!"
"Oh!" Maga said, pouting into a circle, "calm down, Captain Sercy." He smiled and pouted at the forest opposite, "Perhaps, you should observe the situation on the battlefield first, and then it's not too late to boast about Haikou!"
Alan and Sersi both turned their heads at the same time. In the forest behind them, countless black shadows suddenly appeared, followed by neat steps, blunt weapons striking shields, and overwhelming shouts.
"Who are they?" Alan turned his head and looked at Sercy.
"Iron Forest Army. Sersi frowned, "The Iron Forest of the King of Assyria." ”
"There are only 3,000 people who hear the voice, but we have 5,000, what are we afraid of?" Alan straightened up and moved his hand to the hilt of his sword.
"Don't underestimate the enemy. Sersi lowered his voice, "Three years ago, they had a war with Elidu on the border because of the throne incident, those guys were very good at jungle warfare, and in the battle of the Dragon's Blood Forest, they annihilated Elitu's army of 3,000 with 500 people, so far it has resounded throughout the Sumerian continent. ”
"Hey, Lord Allen, have you figured it out?" Maga kicked the horse in the belly impatiently.
"That's because the commander of Elidu is a rice bucket!" Alan pulled out his black steel sword and smiled confidently, "Maga will hand it over to you, and I will take three thousand people to protect the people of the city!"
