Chapter 153: Restless Sandos
The captain shrank his neck in fright, and quickly replied with a salute: "Your Excellency, Captain Sandos Billon, the liaison officer of the outpost of the Griffin Legion, has been ordered to contact the Lord of the Golden Warehouse, Baron Aragon, about the Legion's station, supplies, and military intelligence, and other related matters, this is my warrant. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After speaking, Sandos took out a parchment document from his leather bag, honestly handed it to Cocoba, and stood below with low eyebrows to peek at Liang Ke's reaction.
Liang Ke took the warrant from Kekeba's hand and glanced at it coldly, then gently left the paper on the table, and then said slowly: "It turned out to be a friendly army from the imperial capital, General Shalin has worked hard all the way, Kekeba! Arrange a garrison for our friendly army and prepare three days of supplies." In addition, prepare some seafood of the sea tribe and send it together, and the golden warehouse is hospitable. ”
Sandos really didn't dare to offend this plague god, but if he didn't provide General Shalin with support, he would not sell his father's favor, so he could only stubbornly say: "Your Excellency, Baron, according to the requirements of the military department, in order to speed up the march, the supply of the army must be solved along the county towns along the way, you should allocate more at one time, and then the soldiers will have the strength to fight." ”
"War?"
Liang Ke smiled, turned his head to look at the white-robed middle-aged man closest to him, and asked, "Who is this gentleman?"
"Your Excellency, I am Zab Michaux, an assistant to His Excellency Archbishop Kaideans, and this time I have come to His Excellency's domain, mainly under the commission of Lord Qideans, to learn about some of the changes that have happened here, and to visit Miss Joanna. ”
"Oh! it turned out to be Mr. Zab, and I had heard Miss Joanna mention you more than once. Welcome to Golden Warehouse. Liang Ke heard that it was Grandpa Joanna's envoy who was standing opposite, so he quickly stood up, invited the guests to sit down, and ordered the guards to invite Miss Joanna.
Liang Ke, the orc standing next to Zab Mixiu, knew that Fricks was still so wooden, and he waited until Liang Ke stretched out his arms before politely saying "Hello!". Liang Ke smiled at Fricks's indifference, after all, he had kidnapped someone's prince, and now he was ordered to serve as the envoy of Master Megan, so of course he would not have a good face for him.
Liang Ke left a few of the main figures behind, and the others were invited to the reception room by Kekeba to rest. He instructed his attendants to pour a few guests full of wine, and then said to Sandos in a hurry: "The war crisis has been eliminated, and the demons have withdrawn, so I will provide three days of provisions, so that the soldiers have a time to recuperate, enjoy the scenery of the southern coast, and then they can go back." ”
Although Sandos has a grudge against Liang Ke, he also knows that this young nobleman who is no older than himself has never said big things, but if such news is really bad or bad, he has to find out the cause and effect, otherwise he will not be able to return to General Shalin of the legion.
"Your Excellency, the 100,000-strong army is rushing day and night, and now you say that the crisis is over, so let the Imperial Griffin Corps go back and forth in vain, I'm afraid there is no way to explain it to the military headquarters!"
"What? Do you suspect that Kanakura lied about the military situation to the Imperial Military Department?"
"No, no, no......"
Seeing the undisguised killing intent in Liang Ke's eyes, Sandos shook his hands and quickly explained: "It's just that I have the task of understanding the military situation, if His Excellency the Baron only gives one sentence, I really don't know how to report to General Shalin, can you ask Your Excellency the Baron to explain what happened more clearly, so that I can explain the reason to General Shalin." ”
The words of the people were polite, and Liang Ke was inconvenient, so he had to patiently pick and choose the key points to tell the process, but the content involving the godhead was omitted by him, and the reason for the demon retreat was also said by him that he wanted to treat the demons, this unreliable statement may only be believed by himself!
Sandos got the military information he wanted, and he didn't dare to stay in Liang Ke's territory for a moment, so he left in a hurry.
The white-robed monk was very familiar with Joanna, who rushed to hear the news, and Joanna kept screaming "uncle, uncle" in her mouth, and Zabu saw that Miss was not tanned by the scorching sun on the south coast, nor wrinkled by the strong sea breeze, and more importantly, it seemed that Miss's smile was completely from the heart, and she couldn't help but smile and nod her head with satisfaction.
After three or five sentences, Zab was forced to take Joanna to the courtyard to check on the gifts that his grandfather had brought for herself, and the various gifts prepared by the archbishop for his granddaughter filled the two carriages, and the gifts even included an organ made by the master musician Tetuyi himself, and a double mattress engraved with a wind circle, on which she slept on a mattress that brought a gentle breeze that could effectively help Joanna remove the heat. These pampering gifts expressed the archbishop's deep love for his granddaughter, and Joanna sobbed happily as she leaned over the soft mattress.
Liang Ke invited Fricks to his private office and slowly asked about Master Megan's current situation. Speaking of this topic, Frix's face was covered with a thick cloud, large tears came out of his eyes, rolling down on the placket of his clothes, and Liang Ke was just about to get up to ask the reason, but the orc shaman of Mu Ne was already crying.
Last time, Master Megan brought back the blood of the divine beast that could give birth to the Golden Beamon, which made the beast clan rejoice, and Alderney was able to happily agree to trade, which is also one of the important reasons. However, Meghan's life essence is passing quickly, after all, the sacrifice to the gods is not something that a mortal can bear. Emperor Lane almost mobilized the power of the whole country to find the elixir that could save High Priest Megan, and I don't know how many famous witch doctors died unjustly under the whip of Emperor Lane, but Master Megan finally collapsed on his humble stone bed, Frix stayed with the teacher every day, brought water and medicine to the teacher, and told what was happening outside, until Megan could no longer leave the bed.
"Mr. Aragorn, I'm not here to know how many soldiers the demons have come, but because the teacher asked me to bring you a word. ”
"What?"
"He said: 'Go tell Aragorn and help me fulfill my unfulfilled wish.' ’”
Liang Ke clenched his fists, looked out the window with empty eyes, and did not make a sound for a long time. Actually, there is no need to ask, he also knows what Meghan's entrustment is, even without Megan's explanation, he must find Gandosa to solve the crisis of little Katyusha.
Meghan's intersection with him was very short, but the old man's position in his heart was difficult to shake, for the simple reason that he felt that Meghan was a person who dared to question his faith like him, and in this world, such a person was destined to be very lonely. Therefore, he instinctively treats Meghan as his elder, and when he hears that the old man's life is about to come to an end, he will inevitably be saddened.
"Monsieur Aragorn, Monsieur Aragon, are you listening to me?"
Frix pulled Liang Ke's wandering thoughts back, and he said urgently: "I know, you and Teacher Megan are both wise men, and you can even read the Book of Jonah, I pray that you will give Teacher some help, even if it can extend my life a little, so that I can read more stories to him." ”
Liang Ke thought about it for a long time, and then shook his head, which he couldn't do.
"I'll do what Master Meghan asks me to do, but ...... If the witch doctor can't do it, I suggest you stop by Bishop Alger on the way back, maybe he will have some solution. ”
"Him?"
Liang Ke nodded and said, "Faith can't isolate everything, believe me, at least he will help." ”
While they were discussing the life and death of the orc high priest, the sinister Sandos Billon was also reporting his experience to General Shalin.
"Uncle Shalin, I don't doubt the military intelligence of the demon attack, such a lie can be easily exposed. However, his subordinates absolutely did not believe his later explanation, you are wise, would you believe that the demon army's hundreds of thousands of troops withdrew without reaping any benefits? Why is he a little lord? Is it just his 2,000 escorts?"
Fifty-one years old, with a tall figure and a smile on his face, Shalin is considered the youngest among the active corps-level generals. In his early years, he served in the Northern Army, and Kan Delun had helped him a lot in his promotion, so although he knew that his liaison officer had some contradictions with the new nobleman Aragorn, and what he said was inevitably untrue, but because of Kan Delun's feelings, it was not easy to break it in person, so he just squinted his eyes and asked, "Then what do you think?"
"General, in my opinion, this Aragorn must be afraid that his small territory will become a battlefield, so he will exchange the demon army for a trade, but the condition for the demon clan to withdraw must not be the wealth of the golden warehouse, I think it must be a conspiracy against the empire. ”
Shalin frowned, pinched his fingertips, and said without raising his head: "Sandos! Some things can't be said nonsense, after all, it is a new nobleman, and slandering a nobleman is a serious crime! Today I will not say it to you, if you really have evidence, then you can directly submit it to the Ministry of Military Intelligence, I believe that those guys who eat people and don't spit out bones are happy to see such things." ”
Sandos listened to Shalin's words as if a gate had suddenly appeared in front of him, and he vaguely saw the damned Aragorn lying on the MID's bloodstained torture bed moaning in pain. Sandos knelt down on one knee, thanked Shalin for his advice, and trotted out all the way to organize Liang Ke's black materials. Shalin took out a white handkerchief, gently wiped the sand off his boots, and then threw the dusty handkerchief in the trash, and said to himself, "Stupid pig beast." ”
