Chapter 105: You Are a Maggot
Marquis Philip rounded up Changle in this battle, costing the lives of more than 100 soldiers, but he fell short and was stopped by the city guards who rushed in.
Of course, the marquis refused to give up, his face flushed, and his voice was hoarse and noisy.
But his troops had been disarmed, and the Marquis could do nothing himself, and could only issue a few threats, declaring that he would make General Goodwin pay, and specifically pointed out that the masters of the Blood Soul Valley were coming, telling them to go around without food, and then left in a rage.
Goodwin has two powerful dukes behind him, and of course he is not afraid of the threat of the marquis.
Instead, he had to preemptively complain to the emperor, accusing Philip of bringing the guards into the city privately, and Weber, the son of Duke Stennis identified that the Marquis was not going to be a crime in the street, so the "manhunt" was just a pretext, and its true intentions deserved to be investigated.
In recent years, with the support of the cultivators of the Blood Soul Valley, the marquis has coveted the power of the court, acted aggressively, and his status has also continued to rise, which has long aroused the vigilance of the Duke of Stennis, who is in power, and this time he finally seized the handle and launched a fierce counterattack.
Xu Si saw through this point, so he called on the students to "be sensible", not to blindly send them to death in the chaos, and to rescue Chang Le in a smarter way.
Later, he relied on his family wealth to bribe a duke's cronies, and quickly met with the duke to analyze the matter.
Although the Duke also hated Changle, it was in his interest to attack Philip through this matter, so Webb and Goodwin appeared in time.
But Weber was only acting on his father's orders, and he was reluctant, and if he had the chance, he should be happy to kill Changle quietly.
So even though the army had retreated and calm had returned to the alley, Chang Le did not dare to relax his vigilance at all, nor did he rush downstairs, but sat behind the chimney and sorted out the bandages again.
From the fierce indoor battle in the "Green Forest" hotel to the fifty-meter bloody road when the street was surrounded, he was hit by more than ten swords in total, and his spear pierced his body three times, even though he drank the Phantom Feather Heavenly Dew and had a strong demonic physique, this serious injury was not so easy to heal.
The sharp pain from the tight bandages made his whole body tremble slightly, and cold sweat broke out layer by layer, but he had to be fully prepared for a potentially more dangerous battle.
There are very few enemies now, Webber himself and his entourage, but that entourage makes Chang Le feel a huge threat, and it is difficult to see the exact strength with his insight talent, but judging from its solemn and compelling aura, I am afraid that it is stronger than the Battle Spirit Fei She!
Weber has a grudge against Changle, but Lola also has a grudge against Weber, and the female man looks down at the duke's son, and there is fire in her eyes:
"What do you mean, what are you doing with Webb?"
"Be sensible!" Xu Si shouted his signature mantra again, "Personal enmity should not affect the overall situation, as long as you have a heart, there is no eternal enemy!"
"I don't have a permanent friend!" Lola sneered, "If you join the nobility, you will no longer be my friend!"
Chang Le didn't like to see his friends infighting, so he patted Lola on the shoulder to tell her to calm down, and then climbed the outer wall and slowly descended.
In view of the possibility of another outbreak of the moment of battle, the cooled down "Rainbow Fly" skill must be retained, so he only climbed down in the most ordinary way.
When he reached the ground, Weber didn't say anything, turned around and left with a cold face, while Xu Si hugged Chang Le and motioned for him to follow Weber.
The group turned two alleys and got into a luxurious carriage.
The car was quite spacious, with Webb sitting side by side with his entourage, and Changle and Lola sitting on the other side, staring at Webb coldly.
Huss seemed to feel that he was not suitable to sit on either side, so he stood between the two sides, grabbed the roof of the car and kept his body balanced.
Webber turned his gaze out of the window, not meeting Chang Le's gaze, his expression was cold and haughty, as if waiting for the latter to speak first, at least to thank the Duke for saving his life.
Chang Le's attention was focused on Webb's entourage.
It was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her twenties, with long narrow eyes, a jaw like a sharp cone, a face that looked like a poisonous snake at first glance, and a strange and eerie beauty under the bright makeup.
And this woman's figure was undulating and enchanting, exuding a kind of charming charm that was ripe, she was definitely not a girl for a long time, but Chang Le would not guess how old she was, and it was difficult to judge the age of a high-level cultivator by her appearance.
Archmage Eunice looks younger than the woman in front of her, but Wendy's grandmother has to call Eunice "sister".
Although the lifespan of the war spirit is shorter than that of the War Sect or the Great Demon Guide, it is generally not less than two hundred years, and it is not surprising that the forty-year-old looks like a twenty-year-old, for example, Miranda's father, Marshal Fontaine, except for the white hair of an old man, the skin on his face is as smooth as a teenager.
The woman smiled proudly at Chang Le's gaze, her slender eyes bent into two arcs:
"No one introduced me, so I had to introduce myself, I'm Agnes, a level 2 war spirit, who has worked with Duke Stennis for many years, his age is kept secret, and he is still unmarried. ”
A woman's emphasis on a man that she is unmarried is the most obvious hint that she is tantamount to telling the other person "you can chase me", so Webber turned his head and glared at Agnes fiercely.
It was not only Weber who expressed her dissatisfaction, Lola was afraid that Changle would be seduced, so she sneered directly and began to verbally attack:
"You are unmarried, but you have at least a hundred men, including the duke, everyone in the imperial capital knows it!"
Agnes smiled "hehe", not angry, but more proud when she looked at her expression:
"A hundred, how can my charm be so strong?"
Chang Le didn't care how many men Agnes had, what made him frown was that this woman reported that she was only a level 2 war spirit, 1 level lower than Fisher, but the sense of oppression she gave people was far above Fisher!
And this person didn't deliberately release any coercion at all now, just chatting peacefully, but he was more frightening than the Fischer in that battle, what is the reason?
Seeing that the topic was far away, Xu Si hurriedly reminded the main idea, hoping that Chang Le and Weber would talk about future cooperation.
Webb finally turned his gaze back to the car, glanced at Chang Le, and then cleared his throat, ready to speak.
Chang Le rushed ahead of him and reminded:
"First of all, I have to make it clear, I don't need you to save me, and I don't owe you a favor. ”
After saying this, Chang Le laughed secretly in his heart, the same language has been said to him in the past, that is Miranda. At that time, Chang Le was so angry that he smoked, but now he understands Miranda's mood a little.
Miranda faced the evil young man's teasing, she didn't need Chang Le to save her, she could beat Young Master Taylor into the sky with one punch, but Chang Le forcibly came out to save her, but it prevented her from enjoying the fun of beating people, not to mention that Chang Le was still a disgusting dirty pariah, of course Miranda was unwilling to thank him.
Now Chang Le is the same, if he wasn't concerned about the safety of Lola and the others, he would have activated the soul of the cunning rabbit and fled alone, so if he wanted to thank Weber, who he hated, for saving his life, it would never be possible.
Webb sneered:
"I'll tell you the good news first, I'm engaged. ”
"Congratulations. Chang Lepi didn't smile, but said in his heart, "It's my business." ”
"It's Miranda who is engaged to me!"
After Webb said this, he finally smiled smugly.
At the end of the day, the conflict between the two in the academy was for Miranda, and now that Webb is the winner, of course the excitement is extraordinary.
"It's my business. Chang Le finally shouted out what was in his heart.
However, he was still very surprised, although Miranda was full of contempt for Chang Le's untouchable status earlier, but in the later period, he was already changing, from contempt to amazement, and from amazement to admiration, and vaguely began to express affection.
And Miranda's complete disdain for Weber has not changed from beginning to end.
Now that Miranda is actually engaged to Weber, Chang Le is not only shocked, but also has some indescribable sourness.
Webb's face was full of a victor's smile:
"I want to thank you very much, it was your treachery that led to the removal of the marshal, who was forced to form an alliance with my father, and the price paid, of course, was his beautiful and proud daughter, and the marshal originally wanted to take you as a son-in-law, everyone knew it. ”
"Well, I'll take your gratitude. Chang Le nodded, "Other than that, what else do you have to say?"
What Weber wanted to say, of course, was the Duke's opinion.
The Duke believes that since the marshal is already an ally with him, and the Marquis Philip is the culprit who led to the marshal's dismissal, Chang Le should fight to the death with Philip if he still cares about the marshal's weapons and cultivation.
Not long ago, on the plains of Havilland, more than 300 private troops of Count Watt were wiped out by 100 bandits, and the Duke suspected that the so-called "robbers" were Changle Division, a group of untouchables.
But this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen again, and the Duke hopes that Changle will take his troops to the northwest, away from the rich areas, and not to harass the Duke's allies, but to develop near the fiefdom of Marquis Philip.
As long as Philip is anxious about his fiefdom, he will not be able to go to the imperial capital to fight for power and profit, and it will be difficult for him to develop his influence in the Guards by virtue of his status as the provost of the military academy.
As long as it is conducive to Chang Le's actions, the Duke is willing to provide food and grass weapons support, and the premise is very clear, Chang Le can only oppose Philip and the Blood Soul Valley, and once an incident like Count Watt happens again, it will definitely usher in the angry crusade of the Duke's army.
Finally, Webb sneered:
"Don't think that everyone is a fool like Philip, and not every nobleman is as weak as Watt, believe it or not, my father can muster an army of 200,000 at any time, three times more than the Royal Guard, enough to crush you ten thousand times!"
In fact, what Weber mentioned was exactly what Chang Le wanted to do, even if there was no one to support him, he planned to lead the team to the marquis's fiefdom.
But if he nodded directly in agreement, he seemed to be frightened by Weber's last threat, and after a little silence, Chang Le laughed:
"The duke thinks highly of me, I'm a cadet of the military academy, not a famous general, with only a few old and weak pariahs, how can I be worthy of the duke's support with food, grass and weapons?"
Webb stared coldly into Chang Le's eyes:
"It's you who think too highly of yourself, my father treats you like a maggot, and only wants you to crawl on the back of the marquis for a few days, disgusting him, and as for when you are slapped to death by the marquis, it's none of our business. ”
"What a wonderful analogy! Young Master Webb, thank you for deigning to talk to a maggot for a long time. ”
Chang Le smiled and got up from his seat and continued:
"Since it's a maggot, I can crawl wherever I like, whoever wants to shoot me to death, please stretch out your hand. Young Duke, you are welcome to lead the army to the crusade, and we will see you on the battlefield!"
After speaking, Chang Le jumped out of the car and walked away.
Lola and Xu Si hurriedly chased after him, Xu Si hoped that Chang Le would go back and talk about it, don't be angry, but Chang Le hadn't answered yet, and Lola pushed it out seven or eight meters away with a palm:
"Go back and eat the of the nobles! they have a lot of maggots in their, and they are well nourished!"
Chang Le laughed silently, and in turn helped Xu Si speak, praising his political acumen.
Among the three generals in the fifth class, Lola is brave and can be called a "tiger general"; the thin monkey is alert and a "wise general"; and Xu Si is politically astute and even Chang Le is willing to bow to the upper hand, and he is also an indispensable right-hand man.
Chang Le hopes that the people of the original fifth class will unite as one, and even if they are not together in the future, they can still help each other.
Xu Si said "yes" again and again when he heard this, and he also reminded Chang Le that in fact, the Duke valued him very much, and he should not be angry because of Weber's arrogance.
The duke himself is not afraid of Marquis Philip, but behind the marquis there is the Valley of Blood Souls, and there is the War Sect Nomadeus, which is a force that His Majesty the Emperor is afraid of, so the duke will launch Changle to attract the hatred of the marquis, no matter what the outcome of victory or defeat, the anger of the Valley of Blood Souls will not go directly to the duke.
Now it is the Duke who is looking for pleasure, not the other way around.
Therefore, Chang Le should take the opportunity to blackmail and offer a high price to the duke, at least he should get hundreds of horses or hundreds of sets of armor, he should not be angry and walk away, let alone be enemies of the duke and Marquis Philip at the same time, that is too irrational!
Chang Le smiled slightly:
"Actually, I don't have a choice, the Blood Soul Valley will not let me go at all, I am destined to be the enemy of the Marquis, it is better to be the enemy of the Marquis, and kill the Marquis Land. But I will not accept the Duke's funding, that would be contrary to my principles. ”
Xu Si was speechless, so he had to hold his arms and look at Chang Le with a wry smile.
Lola heard about "killing the marquisate", and her face turned red with excitement:
"I'll go with you, help you command the troops, and kill that bastard together!"
"Go, go, go!" Chang Le smiled and stretched out his hand to push, "You are a major of the Royal Guard, and you have a great future, what are you doing in my broken team?"
"I'm not a major anymore, before I came to save you, I took off my uniform, threw it, and stepped on it a few times!"
"Take it off, pick it up and put it on! It's still cold!"
"Don't pick it up, I've made up my mind, I'll go with you!"
The carriage had already left the city gate during the previous negotiations, so at this time, the three of them were laughing in the wilderness, and they were not worried about being heard.
Chang Le didn't want Lola to join his team at all, firstly, to delay the future of others, and secondly, he didn't have that need, such a small unit must be fought by him personally, and it didn't make much difference whether Lola was there or not.
But Lola was determined to follow him.
In the end, Chang Le could only smile and shake his head, and patted Lola on the shoulder:
"Take care, there will be a period later. ”
Then he ran away, and once the Cunning Rabbit's Soul was activated, even without the support of an artifact, his speed was beyond Lola's reach.
Lola couldn't catch up, so she had to send a few swear words from afar.
Chang Le laughed, waved his hand behind his back, switched to the soul of the blue wolf with better stamina, and kept a constant speed of sixty kilometers, even if someone rode a horse, it would be difficult to follow at the moment.
However, less than ten kilometers after running, Chang Le suddenly stopped.
And he felt a chill all over his body, which was an alarm from the depths of his soul, representing that the crisis was approaching!
Chang Le turned back suddenly, only to see Agnes standing not far away with a smile on her face.
"Why, the negotiation didn't work out, and the duke didn't want to let me go?" Chang Le asked coldly.
Agnes shook her head:
"Don't get me wrong, I'm here to protect you, escort you a hundred kilometers away from Haisen City safely, this is the Duke's order. ”
Chang Le believed in doubt, spread out his soul's vision, and the spatial veins stretched far away towards infinity.
Sure enough, there was a situation, Chang Le frowned:
"There's a master approaching, at least eighty kilometers per hour!"
Agnes noticed even later, her smile suddenly disappeared after half a minute:
"Hell, what a powerful breath! Blood Soul Valley, Peak Battle Spirit!Pistoria, it must be him!"
