Chapter 184: The Night of the Full Moon
Kenny stared at Allen, who had been a prostitute, and inadvertently swept his eyes to the full moon outside the window. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
A thin white mist tightly wrapped around the full moon glowing with green rust. It was the trumpet of spring, the first full moon after winter had gone, and as bright as the green moon looked, there was a pessimism creeping into Kenny's heart, as if all the thick darkness of the night sky had taken root and sprouted in his heart, and the dawn would never come.
"I'm not here to hear you say this, man. Sersi's voice trembled, "Say something useful, what else can we do?"
"I don't know, don't ask me. Alan leaned his hands against the doorframe and turned his face to the dark corridor.
"I apologize for being reckless, Alan. Kenny stood up, his tone sincere.
"What's the matter?" Sersi looked up, "After all, you're still arguing over trivial matters?" he stood up on the table, "Alan, whatever happens between you and the lord, now is not the time to quarrel! The enemy is already plotting against you, and you have only one understatement, you are worthy of the trust of the people of Nipur and the lord?"
"So what?" Alan turned his face, "what do you want me to do?"
"We want to hear from you. Kenny continued, "Not a negative conclusion, but a concrete opinion, preferably with countermeasures." He sat back in his chair and sighed deeply, "Guys, Nipur can't be lost, must not be ....."
"Lord, things aren't as bad as he said. "We have 5,000 Confederate troops and 1,000 Guards, they are battle-hardened and well-equipped, and our opponent is nothing more than a group of rangers, how can Nipur be lost?"
"Hahaha-"
Alan let out a burst of arrogant laughter. "Serbald. He scoffed, "You're a little naΓ―ve. Who are we against? Wilson. He had been by Barton's side for years, and no matter how stupid he was, he must have witnessed countless power struggles. Why don't you want to think that Patton overthrew Sam's dark regime, and if Wilson dared to stir up a dispute and had no certainty of victory, he would make such a joke with his own head?"
"What do they have?" Sersi asked rhetorically, "Knights of the Chamber of Commerce?" he smiled disdainfully, "I know them too well, a bunch of stupid hats with helmets as night pots, old horses with skinny bones, some of them boys, who can't even hold a standard spear!" he shook his head, "Wilson uses them as hole cards? I can't wait to see them throw away their armor and run away!"
"Maga is there too, Captain Sersi. "I've seen those mercenaries, and you've seen them, and their swords aren't vegetarians!
"So what?" said Selsi shrugged, "we have five thousand..... Oh no, six thousand! I bet those seven hundred knights won't even be able to resist our second charge!"
"Don't make it that simple, man. Alan walked over to the table, pulled out his chair, and sat down facing Kenny. "Compared to Wilson, you're the utter stupid hat!"
"Really?" Selsi smiled back, "then I'd like to hear how smart people analyze it." β
"I'll have to ask the girl sitting next to you. Alan licked his bottom lip and smiled softly.
"Me?" said Winnie, who was silent, with a blank expression. "It has nothing to do with me. She hurriedly argued, "After accepting the mission, Alice has been in contact with the master, and I swear that I never know about their alliance, and I haven't even met the other three." β
"Who do you think one of them would be?" asked Alan in a soft tone.
"I don't know. Winnie replied without hesitation.
"If I'm not mistaken....." Alan narrowed his eyes, "at first you were tasked with assassination, but then Wilson sent someone to tell you that the mission was changed to surveillance, right?"
"Yes. Winnie nodded.
Alan pursed his lips and clasped his hands. "I guess there's only one possibility. "After Gilmer's death, that old guy wanted to use your sorcery to kill Kenny, but he found out that he didn't have the power to control Nippel, so he changed the assassination to surveillance, and he needed to spy on our every move....."
"And then, he met old Hyde?" interrupted Kenny.
"That's right. Alan unexpectedly agreed, "But it may also be that old Hyde met him, and that's why Aiden bumped into them plotting against him." β
"What about Maga?" Kenny asked, "wasn't he supposed to go back to the dam, and why did he hang out with Wilson?"
"It's not hard to understand, Lord Kenny Dalton. Eren reverted to the mocking tone he had just had, "Because you insist on building a dirt road into a good road! 30,000 gold coins are enough for Maga and the mercenaries to turn their swords against us!"
"What are you talking about?" said Sersi with his head between the two sitting across the table, "What 30,000 gold coins?"
"Nothing. Alan lowered his head, "You just need to know now that we're really going to lose Nippur....."
"Damn!, can you change the word?!" Sersi suddenly yelled, "Tell me! What to do next?!"
"Listen to the lord, he has experience in this area. Alan leaned his hands behind the back of his head and leaned back in his chair.
"Sersi. Kenny closed his eyes tightly and stood up against the edge of the table, "Go to the west of the city to gather the alliance forces immediately, before midnight, I want to see all the soldiers on standby outside the north gate!
"Leader..... Sersi was about to speak, but caught a glimpse of the lord's hands holding the table as if they were shaking.
He suddenly remembered something, about Maga, and the group of mercenaries who saw money.
"Alan. Kenny opened his eyes and said in a heavy tone, "I need you and Sersi to take command of the Confederate forces. He paused, "If you still think you're a Dalton." β
"What about you?" Alan put down his hands holding his head, "what are you going to do?"
"Advise the people of the city to evacuate. Kenny muttered, "No one wants to leave here, just like I did when I left Karta, this is their home..... I'm sorry for the people who have embraced me....." He took a step back and bowed slightly, "I'm sorry for you too....."
"Lord!" Cried out suddenly, "don't do this! it's not your fault.....! We maybe, we could, damn itβ"
"Do you know what they're going to do? you know?" Kenny's eyes were red when he looked up again.
"I know!" Sersi gritted his teeth, "Alan is right, we're going to lose Nippur....."
