Chapter Twenty-Four: Foodies Have Spring
Mira, who was still wearing a cartoon pajamas, was carried by the soldiers to the high platform in the center of the camp, he vaguely remembered that Zazana was hung on the wooden shelf in front of the platform yesterday, but today the people on the shelf were replaced by One-Eye and Night Feather, judging from the blood marks on their bodies, they must have suffered a lot.

Kempinski sat alone on the high platform, looked at Mira coldly and said, "I used to admire you very much, thinking that you are a manufacturable material, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing, now what else do you have to say?"
Mila was at a loss for the second monk, and she didn't know what was going on, so she looked at the one-eyed two with their heads drooping, and Mila said in a slurred voice: "I just woke up and suddenly asked me what I had to say...... I haven't brushed my teeth yet. ”
There were a lot of soldiers and mercenaries in the audience who were watching the excitement, and they all burst into laughter at this time, and some whistled: "This kid is really funny." "yes, look at that pajama on him, it's funny. "Heck, I've always wanted to buy a SpongeBob SquarePants of the same style, but I couldn't find it, so I had to buy a Patrick one. "yes, yes, I only bought Mr. Krabs. ”
Kempinski stomped his foot hard, the ornaments on his body were all jingling, and he said loudly: "You are still pretending to be garlic, last night, your people stole the dwarf I used to sacrifice the flag, how do you explain?"
Mira knew that this was true as soon as she saw the way Night Feather looked at them, but she leaned in and asked, "Where are the people?"
Night Feather opened her swollen eyes and tried to smile a little: "The foodie rescued her, and the two of us are broken." ”
Mira couldn't help but complain: "You guys, you're too bold, why don't you talk to me first." ”
Nightfeather was still smiling, "If I told you, would you agree with us to save people?" Mira was momentarily speechless.
Kempinski had already stepped down from the stage, heard their conversation and sneered: "I didn't wronged you, did I? ”
Several soldiers tied up Mira like a wolf, and Mira struggled and shouted: "My lord, I have done my service to the Empire, I have crossed the river with blood, you can't do this to me." ”
"Wait a minute," Conzes walked out of the crowd and saluted Kempinski, "Your Excellency, these mercenaries have treated the soldiers of the 21st Infantry Wing, and have also assisted my squad in collecting military rations, which is a meritorious service to the Empire. ”
Kempinski glanced at the bold cavalryman a few times, and gradually remembered that this guy was one of the heirs of the Krupp family, and the elders of the family had greeted him and asked him to take good care of him. A smile began to appear on his face: "It's Captain Conzes, what you said is very right, we just want to reward and punish clearly, of course merit must be rewarded, and guilt must be punished." Although they have made meritorious contributions, they have let go of the spies of the alien race, you say, should they be punished?"
Although Conzes is extremely fierce towards his enemies, he is still very protective of his companions, so although he occasionally raises the shelf of the nobility, his soldiers are still very close to him. Last time in the village, he whipped Ye Yu a few times, and the more he thought about it when he came back, the more he wanted to apologize but couldn't pull this face, this time, he decided to do something.
Conzes thought for a moment and said, "My lord, I heard that the female dwarf was originally a captive captured by these mercenaries, and according to aristocratic tradition, the captives belonged to the private property of the victors, so whether they wanted to kill or let go, it was in accordance with the law. ”
Kempinski didn't seem to expect him to say this, and for a moment he was stunned, and a man with a sharp chin came out from behind him and said, "But they are not nobles, and the rules of nobility do not apply." ”
"They are also not soldiers, and the rules of the barracks do not apply. ”
When the figure in SpongeBob SquarePants' pajamas disappeared around the corner of the barracks, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, Kempinski's face was clouded, and the man with a thin chin whispered: "My lord, since the rules of the barracks are not suitable for them, then we will use the rules of mercenaries to fix them." Kempinski didn't know what was going on and burst out laughing.
In the face of Mira's thanks, Conzes only responded with a few words lightly, but repeatedly apologized to Nightfeather for the events of that day. Ye Yu didn't look at him, just took out the needlework and sewed up the torn clothes, and said softly, "I forgot about that day." ”
After a while, the little sparrow, the fast legs, and the big man also slipped back, and their luck was better than that of One-Eye and Nightfeather, and they managed to escape the capture of the guards, and finally escaped the camp after a round of the camp.
Seeing that Night Feather was still cold to herself, Conzes had no choice but to get up and say goodbye. As soon as he left, the steward of the mercenary guild entered the tent and gave Mira a a task without saying a word.
Guarding the Graham Crossing: Since it has been discovered that the enemy has entered the desert, in order to ensure the safety of the army's rear roads and supply lines, mercenaries are required to hold the Graham Ferry. The mission was carried out in two phases, the first of which was to escort the Gipples from Kamir to the Graham Ferry and set up a concentration camp with a reward of one gold coin per day, and the second to secure the Graham Ferry and the pontoon bridge and to guard the Gipples in the camp from rebellion, with a reward of one gold and fifty silver coins per day. Hint: Watch out for those gypsyps, they don't know when they're going to stab you in the back.
Seeing the task description, Mira burst into tears: "I finally saw the task of one gold coin a day, and from now on, my brother has also stepped into the ranks of the middle class, and you can drink a bowl of soy milk and pour a bowl." ”
One-eyed frowned and said, "A gold coin mission? This should be something that can only be taken by a mercenary group above D, right? We are F, did you get the task wrong?"
The steward said solemnly: "How can you be mistaken? This task is not very difficult, and the reward is so rich, this is the merit that the adults specially commended you for, and other mercenary groups can't get it if they want to." Okay, I still have something to do, so I won't talk to you any more. With that, he jumped backwards and disappeared like a rabbit.
One-eyed pursed his lips: "Such a person is also worthy of being the steward of the trade union? The mercenary represents the spirit of freedom, is not afraid of power, and fights for the right to live with the sword and shield in his hand." This steward is really spineless. ”
Little Sparrow said: "He's a steward and not a mercenary, what's the use of saying this? And the union leaders in Stilwell City have been arrested, and no matter how backbone the others are, they have to see if their bones are hard or not." ”
Fast Legs smiled and said, "Don't talk about such nonsensical topics, you say, how is the foodie now, will he have become a dwarf colt or something?"
The little sparrow showed a disdainful expression: "No culture is no culture, the dwarf clan does not have a princess, let alone a horse, and Zazana is only the daughter of the patriarch of a small tribe, and has no privileges." ”
The big man touched his chin and said, "Yes, this is true love." ”
Mira felt the cold hairs all over her body stand on end: "No, that little bearded girl? foodie and her? are you mistaken?"
The big man patted Mira on the shoulder and said sympathetically: "Love can transcend everything, including race and age, you are still too young to understand." ”
Mira looked at the black crowd in front of her in a daze, grabbed Kangzes and said, "There are so many people, just let our group escort alone?" There are only one, two, three in our group, and I am only six people. ”
Conzes also said depressedly: "I have already told my lord that all the Gipps should be executed, so why should I stay and waste food?" But Lord Kempinski said that the march in the desert needs local guides, and in order to prevent them from committing ghosts, he left these people as hostages. Alas, the adults are kind-hearted, but they do not know how to be merciful and do not command the army, and I think that these Gipps will be a disaster in the future. ”
Mira blinked a few times, indicating that she didn't understand much: "My question is, so many thousands of Gipps, just give us six people to lead the ferry?"
"Yes, the flag will be raised tomorrow, and there is no extra military force to waste on the Gipps. However, these people are already hungry and afraid, and if you take a few carts of food in front, they will naturally follow you, and they can't drive away. ”
Mira smiled and nodded, and suddenly realized: "You can't be cheating me, I am driving the grain cart in front, followed by countless hungry people, it is strange that they don't tear me apart and eat me." ”
"Stupid, won't you learn from me?" Kang Zes laughed fiercely: "As long as you threaten to burn the car if they get close, who dares to come? And these guys are already so hungry that they only have half their lives left, and they are unarmed, you just can't beat them, you can always run away, these untouchables are afraid that you will burn the grain, and it will be too late for you to beg you, where will they dare to commit murder against you." ”
The Gipps introduced more than a dozen representatives, who followed Mila almost inch, saying in unison that they had received the news that there would be food with Mira. Mira is really annoyed by these haunted fellows, there are people staring at your bowl when you eat, a few sad faces when you wake up when you sleep, and even when it is convenient for someone to point fingers and criticize, Mira is fed up, he almost frantically goes to the quartermaster and asks to load the grain cart and prepare for departure as soon as possible.
The quartermaster shrugged off his request: "You are six people, and the lord said that I can only give you six cars......" As he spoke, the little sparrow cried: "Seven, it's seven, we want seven cars." Mira turned around strangely and saw the foodie approaching from afar, with a smile on his face.
Quickly smiled and said, "Yo, so proud, is it Xiao Dengke?" The big man also patted the foodie's shoulder vigorously and said, "How can you be willing to come back?" Didn't you say that you want to be each other's angels for a lifetime?"
The foodie's old face was swollen and red: "Don't talk nonsense, it's just a little girl, I'll send her back to the clan and come back." He suddenly rolled his eyes: "I thought that if we ran away like this, you must not be able to escape, so come back and share the difficulties with everyone." And I signed a contract with the regiment and received the salary of the regiment commander, how can I say goodbye like this?"
Fast Legs sneered: "Don't pretend, I don't know you yet? It's probably a dwarven thing that's hard to swallow, and you really can't get along before you run back." The foodie didn't refute, just laughed a few times.
