The gray-robed middle-aged man held the wooden railing with both hands, looked at Brian with a calm expression and said, "It seems that I can't escape." ”

Brian was more than three meters away from the man, so he stopped moving forward and replied with a smile: "Mr. Thief, you are careless, you think that no one can see through your plan, right?"

"Indeed, this is the first time, and my lord is more shrewd than I thought. ”

"You know me?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I don't know, but judging from your bearing and purpose, it should be that person, right, Viscount Brian?"

"Not bad. Brian approvingly looked at his opponent, "You know a lot. ”

"You've disappointed me, Lord Viscount, I was going to take refuge with you, but unfortunately once I arrived in Maple Town, I didn't want to go any further. ”

"Oh, why?" said Brian, curious.

"Because of Maple Leaf's attitude towards refugees, they don't accept the old and the young, and women, which is tantamount to sending these homeless people to a dead end. "I've heard that you're a benevolent and maverick lord, but it turns out otherwise, so I've asked your fief to borrow three hundred gold from Sauron to settle these refugees." ”

"Robbing the rich and giving to the poor, like the thief in the story, is this your ideal?" asked Brian.

"No, it's not my ideal, but everywhere I go, I always disappoint me, so I have to do something willful. ”

"Dare to ask the name of the gentleman?" said Brian, politely.

"Longfellow, head of the Tempest Guard of the Yamelo Empire, but that was five years ago. The middle-aged man replied.

Brian exclaimed: "The Storm Guardian Regiment, in the Nevin Valley, with a single force, resisted the legendary army of the two major legions of the Sun Empire, and you were the commander at that time?"

"It's just a legend, so why take it seriously. Longfellow smiled, "But your female companion is about to get into trouble." This inn is also run by the Wanderers' Guild. ”

"It's just a little trouble, but it's not in the way, and I'm willing to go to the room with the head of the regiment for a long talk. Brian invited.

"Okay, drink?"

"Drink!"

Longfellow, because of illness since childhood, short stature, was discriminated against, and wanted to become a warrior, but he had no choice but to practice hard, but he was never able to improve, and when he reached adulthood, he was only a first-level cultivator. The Heavenly Grace City Demon Martial Arts Patriotic Academy persuaded him to drop out, and Longfellow had no choice but to give up martial arts and study military command instead. In everyone's opinion, his choice still has no future, the premise of becoming a commander is first of all to become a high-level warrior, in the martial continent, how can he convince the public without combat power?

Longfellow emerged in the graduation assessment, simulating the actual combat confrontation, using factors such as terrain, time difference and military cooperation, leading six first-level students, without any loss, "annihilated" the opponent's ten second-level students, which attracted the attention of the academy and the imperial side, successively served as squad leader, squadron leader, and captain, but unfortunately because of his upright temperament, he did not like to climb, and then he has not been able to be promoted, and has been slandered and excluded many times, so he can only serve the army as a marching staff officer.

Five years ago, the north to the Japanese Empire suddenly attacked, the two major armies raided the Yamelo defense of the Nevin Valley, this is the only passage between the north and the south, the empire built a tall and strong Nevin fortress to prevent the northerners from going south, but was almost breached, the two guard regiments defending the fortress were killed in most of the battle, after the commander was killed one after another, Longfellow was ordered to be in danger, with a genius command, with 1,500 troops, broken fortifications, to resist 30,000 people 36 days of fierce attack, and finally waited for the arrival of reinforcements to resolve the crisis.

Longfellow's reputation in the Empire was known to all women, children, and women, and children, and Brian, who had just graduated from the Patriotic Academy, was even more proud of his senior, but a year later, the legendary general disappeared and was never heard from again.

"You're in prison, how can it be!" Brian exclaimed, "You're a hero of the Empire." ”

"How is it impossible, when I pointed out who was responsible for the near-loss of the fortress of Neven, and what fatal flaws existed in the defense, the result was that I was imprisoned, and this is the empire that I have defended with my life. Longfellow sighed, "It's not bad if you don't die." ”

"You've offended the higher-ups, haven't you?" said Brian, laughing, "just like me." ”

"Oh?" Longfellow said, looking at the viscount carefully, "the most important thing is that I think that the Church has angered His Holiness the Pope by acting with self-respect and wantonness, and not being able to coordinate in battle. ”

There were shouts, fights, and cheers from downstairs, and Brian listened for a moment and said, "It seems that Miss Lillian is going crazy." ”

"I knew I couldn't escape, and the female guard you brought with me was enough to deal with all of us. "Wisdom is sometimes helpless in the face of force." ”

"Why do you want to run away, Mr. Senior, aren't you going to take refuge in me?" said Brian, "I now solemnly invite you to join the fiefdom. ”

Longfellow was unmoved: "What will impress me?"

"With my ideals, brother, I want to establish my own kingdom in the Misty Forest, unite the dwarven goblin races, and re-establish a better order. Brian thought to himself, "However, I can't do it alone, and my dwarven troops are currently lacking a legion commander. ”

"Your dwarven troops, you conquered the dwarves?" Longfellow couldn't help but revisit the young man.

"Suffice it to say, because I was in the forest at the time and didn't know about the refugees, I didn't have a policy in place, and my mayor, who had just taken office, obviously didn't know about me. Brian explained.

"I'm commanding the dwarves?" Longfellow laughed, "and their comprehension is a little difficult. ”

"It's a new challenge, don't you like it?"

"Interesting, what's my mission?" Longfellow was intrigued.

"Inflict heavy damage and deter the barbarians, open up the mouth of the Mausse River, and achieve the initial unification of the eastern region of the Misty Forest. ”

"Lord Viscount, I would like to warn you that I am afraid that if your forest country is beginning to take shape, some big forces will not sit idly by. "Although I don't know much about politics. ”

"What are you afraid of, then even those guys are unified, damn, you and I don't think they're happy anyway. Brian said.

"What an arrogant tone!" Longfellow was taken aback, he felt that Brian was simply bold, "I want to see, where do you get your faith?"

"With my brother helping me, anything is possible. Brian bowed deeply.
