Chapter 45: The General's Feelings
Lieutenant General Karbudistav is expertly giving orders to the soldiers, and his voice of reason always allows the soldiers to see the light of order in times of chaos. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Just after he had given seven orders in a row, a lieutenant colonel ran up to him.
"Report! The intruder has protruded from the castle near Master Esares' small building, and His Excellency has pursued him alone, you know, none of us will be able to catch up with him!"
"What? How many intruders?!" the elegant elf was about to jump to his feet, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart about the wayward behavior of his superiors.
"First two, then two!"
"Four!Pope Holy Blessing!My soldiers, are you sure you're not mistaken?Four people can break through from my good soldiers!How is this possible!Unless they are all Juggernauts!" Calbudistav was really in a hurry, if the invaders were really that powerful, then His Excellency the Great General would be even more dangerous.
"Lieutenant General, there is a demon among the invaders, they rescued the one in the prison and escaped together! Our 21st, 31st, and 35th squads were all wiped out, and the 34th squad and the 2nd Blood Wolf Guard were severely damaged, you know, the guards near Master Essare's small building were lax, only the 34th and 35th squads were stationed, and by the time the neighboring troops arrived, the enemy and His Excellency the Marshal had already left. β
The thought that the castle's defenses had been laid out by himself made Karbdisdav even more restless. God! Two demons and two masters! Flee after killing forty-five of his own soldiers! General Mu Sang is chasing such a terrifying enemy!
The thought of His Excellency the General's indifferent attitude towards death sent chills down the white-haired elf's back. He called a colonel and ordered him to take over the defense of Castle of Dawn, and he hastily gathered three squads of soldiers and hurried in the direction described by the lieutenant colonel.
By this time, half of Dawn City was already like a boiling pot, and almost all the streets were lined with whole groups of soldiers with torches.
The lieutenant general had not been in fear for too long, and as soon as they had chased after the two street corners, they saw in the firelight the tall figure of Mu Sang Zhuo resisting the axe.
"Your Excellency, are you alright?" Calbudistav couldn't help but shout from afar, and although he was far away, the white-haired elf still smelled something unusual from the general's behavior.
Mu Sang Zhuo did not reply, still walking towards his men at a slow pace. This strange behavior immediately made the lieutenant general's heart rise to his throat, and he hurriedly left his subordinates behind, and ran towards Mu Sang Zhuo in three steps and two steps with the brisk pace characteristic of elves.
"Your Excellency, are you injured?" the lieutenant general stood three paces away in front of the general, Mu Sangzhuo's head bowed, like a defeated rooster. It was clear that he did not hear the words of the lieutenant general, and still kept his pace and walked forward.
In the eyes of the soldiers, His Excellency the General fell headlong into the arms of the lieutenant general. And the strange thing is that the lieutenant general, who is known for his agility, did not dodge, but stretched out his arm to wrap his arms around the general's lowered head, and that posture looked indescribably weird. Some of them had already heard of the affair between Mistress Mittcard and His Excellency the General, and if the Templars had seen it, he might have drawn his sword and duel the Admiral.
General Bukar Budisdav had no time to care about the crooked thoughts in his men's minds at this time, and he was now frightened by the expression on Mu Sang's face - in the eight years he had known His Excellency the General, he had never seen a look of remorse on the face of this steely man, and this heartless man did not change his face when he abandoned his lover and his own child. However, at this moment, not only did the general's face have deep remorse, but also confusion and distress found him, and even there was a ...... on his face Unforgettable pain.
General Karbudisdav thought that if the child abandoned by Mu Sang Zhuo was only thrown away by this ruthless fellow at the age of sensibility, he would have this kind of look on his face. That's because of some kind of stubbornness, sadness that forcibly holds back all tears.
"Your Excellency, what's wrong with you?" said General Budisdaf, who had been coaxing himself as a child. Fortunately, his voice was not too loud, and if the soldiers had heard it, they would have had a lot more to talk about.
Bukar Budisdav ...... I ......" Mu Sang Zhuo noticed his misdemeanor at this time, he straightened his back, and immediately broke free from the general's arms. He coughed and said, "I'm sorry...... I...... Lost...... The prisoners have run away......"
"It's good that you're safe and sound!" The Lieutenant General originally wanted to give a good lecture to His Excellency the General, but at this moment they met but responded with a charming smile, and many girls in the imperial capital Barent were fascinated by the elegant smile of the Lieutenant General, but the young General Calbuddysdav always remained cautiously single.
Mu Sang Zhuo sighed and turned his head away from him, just like when he was woken up from bed by the lieutenant general that day.
General Bukar Budisdav saw the cut general uniform on his back and asked worriedly: "Enemy...... Are those two demons besieging you together?"
"No, it's a one-man job. β
"Oh. "Lieutenant General Karbudisdav roughly understood, and His Excellency, the Great General, who was known as the undefeated in the duel, was very concerned about this.
"Your Excellency, with all due respect, as the commander of the whole army, if you care so much about personal honor and disgrace, it is very incommensurate with your status. The white-haired elf earnestly persuaded, "You look ...... like that Very childish...... In front of his subordinates, he will lose all his majesty. As the old saying goes, 'there are mountains outside the mountains', and 'the strong have their own strong hands'. It's normal to lose a duel. You know, as time goes by, when your youth gradually ages, sooner or later a warrior stronger than you will appear. β
Mu Sang Zhuo said softly, "You're right, I'm not the strongest martial artist in Kadmani in the first place...... I knew I wasn't a long time ago. β
After saying this, Mu Sang's remarkable axe hung down to his right leg, and the iron chain wrapped around it fell sharply, and he didn't care about it, this dejected look made General Karbi Disdav regret that the previous words were too straightforward.
"Order the soldiers to redraw, the enemy has fled. The general was silent for a while, then looked up and said.
"Routine searches are still needed. The lieutenant general replied, "Maybe there will be an unexpected discovery, and maybe we can find the hiding place of those guys." β
"What if you find them, if you want to catch them, if we let our loyal soldiers do it, I'm afraid we will have to pay a lot of young lives as a price, right?" Mu Sang Zhuo spread his hands, but his eyes looked in the direction he came.
"Your Excellency, this is war! They are all dangerous enemies!" the lieutenant general did not care about the rude behavior of the general, he only thought it was a little strange. Although Musang Zhuo cherishes his soldiers very much. On weekdays, he still understands those inevitable sacrifices, no, at that time he simply had no scruples. But now, this person with the title of "Iron Blood" seems to be a little too good, a far cry from the one in the civil war of the Heavenly Saint Empire - certainly close to the one he met him in a blanket that day.
Mu Sang Zhuo did not continue to insist on his opinion, he slowly took a step back to the castle, and the lieutenant general followed behind him, adding: "The more dangerous the enemy, the sooner you must eradicate it, otherwise you will ......"
"You're right. The general grunted, "Do as you wish...... Don't bother me, I'm going to be alone for a while. β
The uneasiness in General Karbuddisdaf's heart swelled even more, and he saw that the general's silver eyes contained several different emotions at the moment. Although in the past, his eyes would have been just as deep when thinking about tactics and strategies, but at that time they were pure and clear.
The great general, pacing with a great axe at the moment, is like those philosophers and theologians of the holy capital of Icarus. Those who like to study things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand are just like this, pacing with their heads down, desperately trying to see those things that are not clear with deep and misty eyes.
At this moment, the fierce and strong aura of Lamusang Excellence was gone, replaced by an indescribable chaotic tranquility.
"Your Excellency isn't so depressed because he lost, is he?" thought to the white-haired elf, "he's not the kind of person with a small amount of energy. β
The two led three teams of soldiers back to Castle of Dawn. General Karbudisdav issued several orders in succession, as usual, and then took three steps and made two steps, catching up with Rafal, who was slowly moving forward.
After the events of the right people, there was some chaos in the castle of the dawn, but the corridor they walked on is still a good example of the Tansour style, and the carved and painted buildings are full of the unique ingenuity of the builders of the time.
"Your Excellency, you have something to hide from me. The white-haired elf suddenly broke the silence.
Mu Sang Zhuo was obviously startled, his body was shocked, and he turned around and frowned: "What?!"
"You're behaving so abnormally today, more than the time I woke you out of bed. β
"Ah...... General Karbi Disdaf...... I'm just depressed...... Well, don't bother me, I'm going to sleep for a while...... Lenoya's soft body is really fascinating...... I'll leave the rest to you. β
"Don't try to slip away!" General Karbudisdav stopped Musan Zhuo in his way with a diagonal step, "I want to protest to His Majesty the Pope against your negligence!"
Mu Sang Zhuo stopped his progress, his right hand was on his waist, but his eyes looked at a withered yellow hay in the yard, and squeezed out a sentence from his mouth that would make the elf lieutenant general thunder:
"Whatever you want, you can take over the seal of my Heavenly Bandit Army at any time. β
The white-haired elf stepped on a scarecrow with the name "Mu Sang Zhuo" written on it a hundred times in his mind, and then said calmly: "Do you know what you are talking to me? Your Excellency, General! We have gone through the Battle of Roerland, the Battle of Sfeier, and in the civil war in Fal-Easton, we have taken the ideals of His Majesty the Holy King and His Majesty the Pope as our own ideals, and have fought side by side for eight years! Now you have lost interest in the next step in achieving this grand goal! You must know that this is the biggest battle of Cadmoni since the 'Holy Demon War'! As the supreme commander of the entire army of the Holy Celestial Empire, your name will be recorded in history and passed down forever!"
"Ah...... General Karbudisdaf, I know, but I'm a little tired......"
"You're tired!" interrupted the white-haired elf, "I suggest you find a woman to marry right away and seek emotional sustenance." Only when the heart has to rely on, the wandering soul can have a harbor of rest. You've been lonely for too long!"
Mu Sang Zhuo almost fell, indeed, if you have a huge axe like a door panel on your shoulder, it is easy to be top-heavy.
"Uh...... General Karbdisdaf, your rhetoric is much worse than Avilard's, marriage is such a thing...... Marriage is such a thing ......" Mu Sang Zhuo held on to the pillar and stammered.
"Are you going to go on like this forever?" said the white-haired elf solemnly, "and you will be thirty on the next day of divine grace, right? β
"You have time to say that I might as well care about myself, you're still sixty-seven!" the general tried to fight back.
"I'm different. The white-haired elf's response was as sharp and precise as his bow and arrow, "By human standards, I'm only in my early twenties." If you insist that I am older than you, you should listen to the elders. β
The corners of Mu San's mouth moved down a little, and then returned to its original position, a subtle movement that was captured by General Karbudisdav.
"Think about it, you've dated so many women, aren't there any ones you like?"
"That's enough! I don't want to discuss this topic anymore!" Mu Sang's voice suddenly became cold, just like in the past when he commanded the three armies with majesty or personally swung an axe and slashed people.
"Mistress Mittcard is right, your personality seems straightforward, but it's not frank at all!" The white-haired elf paid no attention to the murderous aura that Mu Sang Zhuo exuded. He's seen the most, and he's used to it.
"If you don't have anything else to talk about, I'd suggest end this conversation, I'm tired, see you tomorrow!" Mu Sangzhuo wrapped the hanging chain around the handle of the axe, and every time he did this, the blood-soaked chain always emitted a strong smell of blood.
The white-haired elf laughed, his action was against the tradition of elven elegance. Mu Sang Zhuo looked at him with some surprise, he didn't know what was so funny about his subordinates.
Brundil rubbed his stomach, and with great difficulty straightened his waist, and when he saw His Excellency the Marshal standing still, he snorted and laughed again.
"What are you laughing at?" Mu Sang Zhuo couldn't help but ask him.
Karbudistav hammered the archer on his chest several times and coughed a few times before straightening up.
"Your Excellency, you are a hedgehog. He said.
"Oh?"
"You are afraid of associating with people, so you protect yourself from the softening of your body with hard thorns. The example just now is proof of this. β
"Your words stink like the fart of a weasel who wants to eat a hedgehog!" Mu Sang snorted extremely rudely, and his words were not as fierce as before.
"Am I wrong?" the white-haired elf asked the general boldly.
"Perhaps, I don't deny it. "But you are wrong about one thing, I am not afraid of associating with people, but I disdain to associate with people in that twisted way." β
"Disdain?"
"Yes, everything changes the taste of human beings: they want to eat meat and justify their murderous acts, they often hate it to death but smile on their faces, they have no goods in their stomachs, but they want to use gold and silver jewelry, clothing, food, shelter and transportation to reflect their extraordinary, they want to sublimate it into love when they have sexual impulses and needsβyou say, is there any creature in this world that is more comical and hypocritical than humans?"
General Karbudistav pondered for a while and said, "I think you mean Cadmani pan-humans by 'humans', what you said exist among elves, dwarves, gnomes, orcs, trolls, and werewolves, and perhaps humans are the most prominent?"
"Yes. β
"Do you like animals more than humans?"
"Of course, people are no different from dogs, and they don't even live as honest as dogs. To be honest, I'm jealous of the dog's life, because now I sometimes have to cover up some things against my will. β
"I say you, even if you think of yourself as a wolf or a dog, no matter how straightforward you are, have you ever thought about the people around you? β
"You're quite right. "So I have to breed more offspring before I get killed." β
β...... Your Excellency, I didn't expect you to use a tirade to cover up your own flowers, but look at yourself, are you one of the human beings you are talking about?"
Mu Sang thought for a moment, sighed, and said, "Indeed, I wish I would not be human in the next lifeβif there is one. β
General Karbudisdav saw the silver eyes under the sword-like red eyebrows of General Mu Sang, and there was a faint light at this moment.
What was he thinking? What had happened to him that made him like this. The white-haired elf couldn't help but be even more curious about the past that Mu Sang never mentioned.
"Well, if you hadn't become a general, you might have been able to become a philosopher in the holy capital of Icarus!" said General Karbudisdav.
"Very good advice! Maybe I should have resigned from the military to His Majesty, but I won't go to the Holy Capital, I hate religion. β
The white-haired elf secretly complained about his gaffe, and he hurriedly said, "No matter what you plan to do in the future, please lead us to finish this 'holy war' for now!"
Mu Sang Zhuo was stunned, and glared at the subordinate who had followed him for the longest time, as if he was not paying attention today and was tricked by this guy a lot. Uncomfortable, he put his axe on his shoulder and turned away.
The white-haired elf silently watched him leave, and after he walked away more than ten steps, he shouted loudly: "Your Excellency, General, I ask you to go back and seriously consider the matter of marriage! No matter what you plan to do in your next life, it is important to live your life well, and many things will not come back if you miss them." Don't you really have the slightest affection for the women you've been with?"
Mu Sang Zhuo waved his left hand from afar and said, "Didn't I say it a long time ago, I only have sex and reproduction for them, and I have no love for them. β
"You will find someone worthy of love, and the elves have a proverb: 'There is no bird in the woods that flies alone forever'. General Karbdisdav smiled, "Turn your heart into a dry desert, and sooner or later there will be a sandstorm, and then you will want a rain to moisten it." β
"Hey, you guy!" Mu Sangzhuo waved his left hand into a fist, "There's still sand in the desert, and I don't have anything here." Love has long since burned out with me, turned to ashes, and blown away by the wind. I really can't imagine that there are women in this world who love bastard men like me, and I can't imagine that there are women who deserve my love. Most of the women are sensual guys, and they're not as reasonable as you are!"
"Just look hard and you'll find it. β
"Damn it, General Karbudisdaf, have you been talking too much today?, go back and do your job, and I'll see the report tomorrow morning!" the general yelled fiercely, but no one could tell that he was not as depressed as he was in the streets.
The sound of strings plucking sounded in the shadows behind the pillars of the cloister, and the sound of the piano was lingering and crisp.
"Who is it?!" Mu Sang Zhuo was full of murderous intent in this drink, and this time he was really angry.
"Whew...... It's really touching...... Come on...... Come...... Come on, ......" The man said a few words, and then he actually hummed along with the sound of the piano, and there was endless melancholy in his gentle voice.
"Mittcard...... My lord?" the long-eared Karbudisdav could hear the accent of the visitor, and the elf's innate advantage was really not covered.
Mu Sang's fiery red eyebrows were raised, and he narrowed his eyes and stared at a red-lacquered wooden pillar. Sure enough, the commander of the demonized cavalry slowly paced out from behind the wooden pillar with a westerly nuis (ukulele) commonly used by bards and beggars, and his scarlet cloak was still glued with some white filaments, and General Karbdisdav guessed for a long time which of the ornaments in the Holy Capital was popular.
"On this night of Coruna, I can't help but want to play the Zephyrine to play a song from the Zephyron on this night when the night of Coruna is like water, and I can't help but want to play the Zephyrne!" Mittcard shook the blue bangs on his forehead, stretched out his fingers and plucked the strings of Zephyrne, and he sang to the sound of the dingdong music. If it weren't for Mu Sang's disdain for him, in all fairness, the Demonized Cavalry Commander would still sing well:
"A lonely stalactite hanging in the belly of the mountain
It is the flow of water that is shaped with heart
I have the heart to become the breeze of the mountains
Fly over the cave
To find the magic of nature
When I found the most precious treasure in my heart
But it can't blow away the entanglement between stone and water
Only remain
Empty footprints
Wounds with stalactite tears
Where will the hesitant enthusiasm go?
The wind doesn't know
He entrusted it to the instruments of the world that could play ethereal sounds
Zephyrne, my friend
Please send my heart to where it should go
Come on...... Come on, come on... Yes... Come on, come on, come on......"
General Karbudisdav lowered his head and leaned against the pillar to listen to the Commander of the Demonized Cavalry singing, you know, Mitkade's piano skills and singing voice were still a little famous in the Holy Celestial Empire, but Mu Sang Zhuo was wrinkled too tightly, and the muscles on his face were twitching in pain. His Excellency the General's empty right hand had already been clenched tightly, and the joints were rattling.
"Carl Budi S. Duff. Mu Sang Zhuo gritted his teeth and said, "Get rid of this bastard for me!"
"Oh yes! As soon as I saw someone, I wanted to drive people away, which was too unkind. Woohoo, my heart, as slender and sensitive as glass, has a crack. However, I don't expect to be perfect. Sometimes, mutilation is also a supreme ...... of beauty and tenderness," said the cavalry commander, and then the words began to be sung word by word with Zephyne. He cautiously stood five paces away from Lieutenant General Karbudistav, about fifteen paces away from Musang Excellence.
The white-haired elf ignored the General's orders. Elves naturally like music, and compared to humans, elves resonate with music as an instinct and a talent. When the "Meteor Arrow" Calbudistuff fired three arrows at the same time, because of the different strengths, the sound of the three bowstrings was also a gradually high-pitched music.
Mu Sang Zhuo couldn't help himself, although he hated Midkad to death, he didn't dare to approach him, and similarly, the commander of the demonized cavalry didn't dare to get too close to His Excellency the Great General with a giant axe. General Karbudisdaf, on the other hand, gently tapped the beat on the pillar with his right hand - he was captivated by the charm of the music.
The soldiers in the castle, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, watched in amazement at this strange sight: the lieutenant general leaned against a wooden pillar painted by the blue moonlight of Coruna and beat the music for the knight, his expression was serene, and his brow was full of faint joy, if it were not for the strange pair, this would be a human landscape that only a master can make. It was their marshal who spoiled the scene. The murderous aura exuded by him and the melodious music are in direct opposition to each other. In this corridor, half is color, half is black and white, and the color is moving forward and the black and white is going backward.
"Kalb Disdaf!" Mu Sang Zhuo called again, this time with a hint of panic in his voice. Mittcard had a smug smile on his face. However, once his mood changed slightly, Zefonne's harmony was slightly chaotic. It was in this gap that General Karbdisdav heard his superiors shouting at him.
"Ah, I'm sorry, but the captain's piano skills and singing voice are as good as they were rumored. Your Excellency, what are your commands?"
"Catch this bastard for me!By the way!!!Let him play the piano for you all night!!" Mu Sang Zhuo was about to retreat to the side of the small building where he lived, and he came up with an idea that everyone was happy about.
"Oh!" the Lieutenant General's thoughtful order rejuvenated the Lieutenant General, and he grabbed Mittcard. The commander of the cavalry struggled hard, but he couldn't get out.
"Your Excellency, General!" the Knight Commander said as he looked at Mu Sang with tears in his eyes, "If this is your wish, I will obey it!!"
Mu Sang Zhuo covered his ears and hid in the door, and with a heavy shake of his hand, the door was closed. And the poor Mittcard outside was dragged away by Karl Budisdaf like this.
Mu Sang Zhuo leaned his back against the thick wooden door, reached out and untied the button on his neckline, and then breathed a sigh of relief. He felt himself sweating, and even a fierce fight wouldn't make him so tired.
We must get rid of that annoying Nighthawk Brotherhood as soon as possible, and then send troops immediately! Rafal made up his mind.
Call...... I'm going to take a shower...... Bathe...... Then he had a good night's sleep, and he dragged his tired steps upstairs.
"Lynoa, Lynoa?" the general called to his woman, "come and take me a bath, Lynoa?"
Strangely, if in the past, the helpless woman whose father was killed by herself heard her call like this, she should have come down a long time ago. She cried incessantly for the first few days of being occupied by herself, and then reality taught her how to survive in secret.
There was no one on the second floor, the dresser was clean, the floor was spotless, and even the quilts on the beds were neatly folded.
The general knew that this was done by Lenoa, and that his subordinates would not dare to enter his private space without his orders, except for Karbdisdaf.
Mu Sang Zhuo threw the general's uniform with the cut back on the chair, and reached out to take a change of underwear. The outfit was soft to the touch, and there was a faint scent on the woman's body.
The words of Calbudistav urging him to marry rang in his mind again.
"No, I can't!" Mu Sang Zhuo shook his head and waved the thought away, and shouted again, "Lynoa, Lynoa, are you on the first floor?"
Mu Sang Zhuo hurriedly ran from the second floor to the first floor, he didn't realize that he was actually a little worried this time.
However, when he stepped into the room on the first floor. All you can see are the wide-open, wind-swaying windows, and the cold, stiff corpses that have fallen to the ground.
Outside the window, Coruna was looking down at the earth from among the clouds. The blue moonlight pierced through the sky and the window lattice, gilding a cold smile on Lenoa's lifeless face.
