Chapter 20: The Girls' Declaration

I remember that, and I think some of you should remember it too. β˜†β†’ Topβ˜†β†’ Littleβ˜†β†’ β†’ said," Floral glanced into the corner and chuckled, "I've found that some things always have to be proactive, and if you wait like you did before, you might miss it again, right, Kyle." ”

"Heh, how would I know. Pannis shrugged, chewing on the red fruit of the jungle in his mouth and said indistinctly, "I don't understand what you're saying at all, why are you learning to say such incomprehensible words now?"

Vral's face tightened, staring at Pannis's eyes, after a long silence, the expression on his face was like frost thawing, slowly wrinkled his nose and showed a smile that was enough to make the stone statue move, snorted softly like a little girl, pushed Pannis off the balcony railing with his hand, turned his head and left with a smile behind his back: "The reaction of playing stupid has already satisfied me, Kyle, as you said, I will wait for you to finish the unfinished task, and then ...... Hehe, you will never be able to escape this time, whether it is now or in the future, you will always be mine. Hmph, I'll go back to the venue first, and you'll lie down like a fool down there, stupid. ”

"Oh, I'm really unlucky. At the railing of the terrace, Pannis, with a straw stick on his head, climbed up from below with a sad face, lay back in his original position, and muttered, "The people around me are crazy again." ”

"It's a subtle word you're using here. Silently passing by the elven queen, when the queen's majesty had returned to the venue, the girls came to the terrace, stared at Pannis with unkind eyes and said, "Why don't you explain, besides the one just now, who else around you is 'crazy' again, okay?"

"Don't push me, I managed to climb up. Pannis sat up vigilantly and said dissatisfiedly: "Whoever pushes me is crazy again." Hey, hey, I'm talking about a very strict question, hey, okay, okay, I admit my mistake, you're not crazy, really not, don't push it anymore, push it again and I'll really fall...... Yes. ”

By the time Pannis, with more weeds on his head, he climbed back up with a sad face. The girls were already leaning against the railing as if nothing had happened, and he could only sigh helplessly, and lay down on the railing again, which made one wonder how much he loved the railing.

"Is the envoy group of elves coming to the meeting this time mainly to discuss the cooperation between the two sides?" Catherine stopped bullying Pannis, and Yan sΓΉ got up and asked, "I see that you are not surprised at all, did you know the news in advance?"

"Not really, but it's not surprising. Pannis shook his head and said, "You should have also known about the battles during the last time the dead returned from the scourge of the dead. On that occasion, the elven forest guard army did not leave the forest, but was stationed on the border line, but even so, they lost 3,000 warriors in the fierce battle. And the Neutral side isn't having a good time. Although the number of mercenary groups is quite large, and there are also archer troops, due to the characteristics of mercenary groups, the strength of this long-range strike force is not balanced compared to melee troops. Therefore, in that more than half a month of fighting, the troops of the Neutral Land, which lacked the means of long-range attack, also suffered heavy losses, and the small team responsible for the targeted elimination of high-level undead in the City of Knowledge originally had 300 troops. After the war, there were one hundred and seventy left, and there were ten captains in the City of Innocence that year, and three were left after the war, but the worst was the Free City, three of the seven mercenary groups at that time almost fought half of the legions, and the remaining four also had nearly one-third of the battle damage, if it were not for the full assistance of the Knowledge Capital and the Chamber of Commerce after the war, I am afraid that there would be at most three of the seven mercenary groups left, after all, the mercenaries are not like other forces, and there is the support of the entire race and country standing behind them, but the mercenaries have nothing to rely on, this is the price of becoming a free force。 ”

"That's true. Catherine lowered her head and thought about it, sighed and said: "Whether it is the replenishment of soldiers, the distribution of pensions, or even the replacement of equipment, it can only rely on the mercenary group itself. Hmm, so this war, these two forces with obvious shortcomings are going to unite?"

"Mainly because of the precautions this time. Pannis explained: "Since we are aware of it in advance, we will definitely compress the defensive position inward, and the scope of the defense will be relatively small, and the number of troops required will be reduced." However, it is a headache for the elves, because compressing inward means that they have to leave the protection of the forest, so that their troops will have a significant reduction in both attack power and defense, and the battle damage will be significantly increased. Therefore, on the basis of the needs of both sides, joining forces has become an inevitable choice, so the two sides will negotiate in advance before the formal meeting, and then at the formal meeting, they can discuss the division of the defense zone with the forces of all sides in the form of joint forces. ”

"Whew. Catherine leaned her head up against the railing and looked at the stones at the top of the terrace for a moment before she let out a long sigh and said, "Is this the prelude to a real large-scale war?

"That's because you haven't really seen the battlefields of the War of the Dead. Pannis shook his head and didn't go into more detail: "However, this has nothing to do with us, if we can succeed, then we won't see the real battle of the dead, if we fail, hehe, there will be no chance to think about the battlefield again." ”

"Heh, you're right. Several girls looked at each other and smiled, and Catherine squinted her eyes and said, "It seems that you finally approved that we went with you, why, no more awkwardness?"

"Hmph, you are willing to die, who can control you. Pannis snorted coldly, turned his head away from looking at the girls' faces: "Anyway, you think that one more person has more strength, and when the time comes, you will really fight for your life, and no one will feel sad." ”

"Thank you. Catherine leaned over Pannis, her long black hair sweeping his face, leaned over and looked at him and said, "We know very well that you are worried about us, so you don't want us to go with us, but you know that we are also worried about you, and our hearts will hurt when we know that you are in danger." For more than two years, you have been by our side, protecting us with your life, and now that you are in need, we will also use our lives to protect you, even if it can only last for a second. See, this is our declaration, we will definitely go with you, no matter what you say, it will not change our decision. ”

Pannis's complicated gaze looked at Catherine's eyes that were getting closer and closer, and when she was close enough to feel her breath, she suddenly sighed softly, shifted her weight slightly, let out a scream, and fell to the bottom of the terrace for the third time. (To be continued.) )

ps: Thank you for the support of the two monthly passes of the book friend Dream God Arc.

Anyway, I saw what to do if it became a quack, and I pondered for a long time.
