Chapter 35: The Northern Soldiers
In the western part of the kingdom of Lindu, in a barren land, the lazy late autumn sun is like a fair mother, whether the land is fertile or not, she selflessly sprinkles the whole land. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And in such a lazy sun, at the door of a grotto, dozens of scruffily dressed men were cooking their own food, and of course many men were napping on the edge of a large rock at this time, and they were really tired last night.
"Damn, don't let Lao Tzu know who it is, don't sleep at night, throw stones at Lao Tzu's camp, isn't this fucking full of food and support!" A burly man in a mink sweater yelled and cursed beside a boulder.
"Commander, your old man is angry, it's not worth it to be angry for those bastards. Just as the burly man was about to continue cursing, a mercenary with a thief's eyebrows half-respectfully walked up to him, only to see that he was holding a roasted crispy rabbit leg in his hand: "Commander, this is the breakfast that the brothers have prepared for you." ”
After listening to the mercenary's words, the burly man only muttered a few words, and then snatched the rabbit leg from his hand and gnawed on it.
And after the lewd man saw that the burly man seemed to be in a much better mood after eating the rabbit leg, he cautiously said to the burly man: "Commander, when our brothers got up this morning, they found that Jill who was on vigil last night was gone, and there was no one until now. ”
"Damn! Jill, that little king and bastard, is usually timid and afraid, and now Lao Tzu tells him to do something to do something at night, he will fucking run away, but he is against him!" the burly man bit the rabbit leg in his hand and cursed, and motioned to the obscene mercenary as he spoke: "When the time comes to go back to town, you go and tell Jill that you don't want the reward for his escape in the past few years, if he still wants the payment, then let his wife, hehehe." ”
"Commander, I understand! I understand!" Hearing the lewd laughter in the middle of the burly man's words, the obscene mercenary also showed an expression that you and I both knew: "Commander, don't worry, the little one will definitely handle this matter properly for you, but the head of the regiment, you are really in good taste, and the little girl is more than a water spirit." ”
Hearing the obscene mercenary's ass, the burly man also showed a triumphant look, which made his mind can't help but think of the face of Jill's wife, he can even see Jill's wife walking into his bedroom begging for the reward of a few copper coins, and the petite body moaning under his crotch in various postures, thinking of this, the burly man can't help but feel hot all over.
"Commander, I heard that Jill disappeared last night?" Just as the burly man was still lusting alone, a loud male voice appeared in his ears.
His lustful spring dream was interrupted, which made the burly man very dissatisfied, I saw him frowning and looking at the person, and after he recognized the person, the dissatisfaction on his face could not be concealed: "Isco, why are you here." ”
"Commander, I heard that Jill disappeared last night, I'm here to ask you, is Jill sent out on a mission?" The man called Isco didn't seem to see the burly man's dissatisfied look, and asked to himself, without the slightest respect and flattery like that of a lewd man.
And the burly man seemed to be quite angry when he saw this Isco without a look of awe at all, but he also seemed to be afraid of something, so he could only hold back his anger and replied angrily: "No, that kid ran away last night while the night was gone!"
"When did you find out?"
"My brother just reported to me, and they only found out when they got up today, otherwise they could have let this kid run away?"
"No wonder! No wonder those people were able to harass us unscrupulously last night!" Hearing the burly man's answer, Isco showed a look of anxiety, and then persuaded the burly man: "Commander, let's hurry up and prepare to go back to town! I heard that there has been a bandit near here recently, and we have also killed three brothers here, and one Marcelo is missing, plus now Gil, three dead and two missing! I suspect that it was those robbers who harassed us last night, and they plan to do something to us during the day today!"
Hearing Isco's concern, the burly man pursed his lips disdainfully and said: "Isco, your courage is really smaller than an ant, how can there be robbers near this camp? These robbers are not fools, they just robbed here some time ago, the nearby villages and towns, and even the province know about it, according to the habits of the robbers, once they rob a place, they will immediately change places and wander, there can be no robbers here." ”
"But..."Isco obviously wanted to say something, but was quickly interrupted by the burly man: "Isco, don't say more, even if there are really robbers, what can we do? We have these 50 good men who have traveled all year round, even if there are four or five robbers, what can they do with us? Even if it was really those robbers last night, but they will use such inferior means, it is enough to prove that their strength is not as good as ours, and last night they tossed like that, how many of them can there be?" They will also be tired, and if they dare to come during the day today, I promise to make them the ghosts of Uncle Ben's sword!"
Hearing these words of the burly man, Isco really couldn't think of any excuse, because in his cognition, including the bandits he had encountered in his life, there were only a dozen or twenty people at most, and there was no climate at all, and ten or twenty people could generally be regarded as Jiangyang thieves, how could Jiangyang thieves top their broken mercenary group, this kind of Jiangyang thieves generally either occupy the mountain as the king or kidnap tickets for extortion, and they disdain to do this kind of robbery.
"Okay, but, Commander, it's better to be careful, why don't I take a few brothers around to keep an eye on it?" Isco hesitated for a moment and made a compromise suggestion.
The burly man didn't seem to want to waste too much more words on this matter, but waved his hand impatiently and said, "Whatever you want." ”
Isco was about to turn around and leave after listening to the burly man's words, but he paused, and instead tried to lower his tone a little lower: "Regiment leader, you, that, can we give a little bit of the reward half a year ago?
Before he could finish speaking, the burly man said very unpleasantly, "Isco, aren't you going to go around to keep a guard!
Isco could only turn away unwillingly when he heard the burly man's words, but after turning around, his expression became extremely angry.
"Commander, this Isco is really arrogant, dare to question you not to say anything, but he is still angry at you, and now he asks you for money, what a group of vampires. Seeing that the burly man was still a little indignant after Isco left, the lewd man immediately stepped forward to fan the flames.
"Hmph! If it weren't for the fact that this Isco was introduced by the Baron, Lao Tzu wouldn't have been too lazy to bird him, hadn't he fought in the north for a few years? Who doesn't know that the northern soldiers of our Lindu Kingdom are notoriously incompetent, and they will lose the battle. The burly man cursed to himself.
"Brother Isco, how is it? Is the reward coming?" When Isco walked not far away, four or five mercenaries immediately surrounded him and asked in a gossipy manner.
"yes, yes, Brother Isco, I haven't been paid for a year!"
"Me too!"
After hearing the mercenaries' words, Isco also said with a sad face: "Brothers, the head of the regiment said to wait, wait for a while." ”
"How long has it been!"
"yes, you still don't let people live?"
"Don't argue, let's still believe in Brother Isco, there are not only a few of us in the group who haven't been paid, you see the Jill who ran away last night, he hasn't been paid for several years. ”
"However, the regimental commander's henchmen can get it every month!"
"That's a henchman, can you compare?"
......
Listening to these mercenaries arguing in his ears, Isco felt a sense of irritability in his heart for no reason, he suddenly missed the days when he fought in the north, when they desperately resisted the invasion of the Modo Kingdom in the north, they were heroes, every brother around him was full of blood, they could even give their lives just to prevent the enemy from crossing the line.
Blame only those hateful quartermasters, and those incompetent noble knights, and of course those incompetent noble generals, who buried the lives of the heroic northern soldiers in waves!
"Okay, don't make any noise, you guys go around and keep guard, you, you, you, and you, come with me over there, you guys go over there!" Isco categorically interrupted the mercenary's argument and assigned the task without saying anything.
And those mercenaries who were assigned to the mission could only look at Isco unwillingly, but looking at Isco's determined expression, they could only drag themselves to their respective positions.
