Chapter 840: Escape
"Dang Changβ"
In the darkness where you couldn't see your fingers, there was a sudden sound of chains clashing.
Sitting on the stone bed, Anwo was overjoyed and was about to stand up, but suddenly thought of something, and became nervous.
This is the dungeon of Tiandu.
It is said that the people who come in here have to shed their skin if they don't die, and there is not a complete corpse that is carried out.
Especially the torture instrument hanging on the wall, although it was not tied to his body, it also scared Anwo enough.
Since that gunshot, Absec has thrown him in and has not moved, not even coming here to see him.
Although his "staff" Isher patted his chest and assured him that he would be fine, Anwo still couldn't help but worry that Absec would kill him.
At this moment, the unhurried footsteps finally reached the door of the cell.
Seeing Isher standing outside the fence with a plate, Anwo, whose shoulders were tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the stone bed.
Motioning for the jailer to open the fence door, Isher stuffed him with a piece of money and motioned for him to go away, before smiling into the cell and placing the plate on the table.
"How does it feel to be a hero?"
"Not at all!"
Reaching out and grabbing the oil cake on the plate, Anwo devoured it, and at the same time said vaguely in his mouth, "I just want to live, I'd rather not touch this bullshit." β
"It's still good." Isher comforted him as she poured a glass of milk into his cup, "Eat slowly, don't choke yourself." β
"It's hard......"
Anwar shook his head and sighed.
"I've found that my move has almost been a dead end."
This is also the sorrow of the little people.
Most of the time he doesn't have a choice.
It's nothing more than struggling when disaster strikes, betting on an almost impossible possibility.
Sooner or later, those 200 lives would have to be discovered by Absek.
Don't look at this guy now falling to the alliance, if you know that these 200 people are still alive, you will be happy, maybe you will have to talk about it, but you will definitely have to doubt yourself when you turn your head.
After all, this is a decision made by oneself.
Yanush's suspicion is written on his face, so why not Absek?
They are all drowned ghosts who climbed up from the Yongliu River, and they can do anything for themselves.
Looking at Anwo with a worried face, Isher lowered his voice.
"Actually, it's not difficult, the reason why your life and death are in the hands of Absec is because you are his person, and you have his imprint on your body......"
Anwo smiled.
"Can this be erased?"
"I can't erase it," Isher shook his head, but changed his mind again, "but it can poke a new one." β
Anwo, who was originally disappointed, immediately raised his head, and hope was rekindled in his eyes.
"Make it clear."
Isher smiled faintly, his eyes hidden in the darkness like a cunning mouse, and continued slowly.
"The Coalition's mission is in the heavenly capital, and they are about to come to you with the men of Absec. This is a great opportunity, and if you can get their affection, maybe they can take you to the port of Goldgallen...... When you get to the Golden Gallen Harbor, the road ahead will be a sea and a sky for you, and you can get into their seats if you don't work hard. β
His finger pointed upward, not stating, but it was self-evident where it pointed.
Anwo was stunned, even in disbelief, and swallowed his saliva and continued.
ββ¦β¦ For what reason? β
Isher patiently analyzed.
"The alliance intends to bring together the Borneo state and the warlords in various places to stop the civil war, and the guns are unanimous with the outside world, so they must send a representative to make peace, right? Anyway, you don't need to do anything about this, with the alliance mediating behind the scenes, it is the general trend to stop the civil war, and you must have a share of the final credit...... It's almost a credit for nothing. β
"Such a great opportunity...... Will Absec give it to me? Anwo couldn't help but ask.
"Who will I not give it to you? Is he willing to drop this place and go to himself? If you don't go, you have to find someone to go for him, and you have handed in so many petitions. If you don't let you go, will I let a nobody like me make up the numbers? β
Isher smiled and continued in a joking tone.
"Besides, you're one of the 'man of the hour' outside the Survivor Daily in Golden Gallen Harbor, and Absec is counting on you to go there and help him get some investment."
"Outside the Daily Survivors?" Anwo looked at him incredulously, "How do you know?" β
"The reporter from the Daily Survivor recently came here from Xiangzhou, and the branch will be open in the future. You are a hero, but they still give you the name. Isher laughed teasingly.
This guy can be a hero, but he can only be a mouse hiding in the corner, which is not a kind of Borneo native humor.
But it doesn't matter.
He didn't want to be a hero because he wanted to be a hero, but purely because he saw himself in Orissa's face, and his brain was hot and wanted to stand up for the guy who fell on the dock.
He had come to his senses after being whipped, and there was no Boer in Borneo.
Not even Bol's opponent exists.
Najib, for example, was strung on the flagpole in the first chapter of the "story".
Anwo didn't think much about it, but was so surprised that he didn't even stop unconsciously putting the bread into his mouth.
The "Survivor Daily" in the Golden Gallen Harbor actually came to Tiandu?
He had heard of that newspaper a long time ago.
It is said that the survivors of Borneo ran their own newspapers, and they wrote stories about the land, not places like Boulder or Dawn.
He used to want to get a copy to read, but unfortunately he couldn't find a few complete ones after searching through the entire Xifan Port.
It seems that a lot of things have happened outside in the days that I have been locked up in the dungeon......
β¦β¦
After delivering food to Anwo, Isher did not stop in the dungeon, returned the plate to the jailer, and hurried away.
Not long after he left, footsteps were heard outside the door again, and this time it was Absec and the Alliance's representatives who walked in themselves.
"Anwo, you've been wronged!"
Looking at Absec with an apologetic face on his face, and then at the alliance representative standing next to him, Anwo couldn't decide for a while which play he was going to play with his boss.
The point is, no one gave him a script.
But maybe it was because of the racial talent, his brain was still spinning very fast, and he immediately found his place.
ββ¦β¦ Everything I do is for the righteousness in my heart, and there is nothing wronged or wronged. The sin is mine, you treat me well, I won't make it difficult for youβ"
Before Anwo could finish speaking, Absec quickly stopped him and refuted.
"What sin is there for the sake of doing righteous deeds together? If you are guilty, then aren't we all guilty! And sin deserves death? β
With that, Absec put his arm around his shoulders and spoke earnestly.
"I, I don't think you made any mistakes from the beginning, it's just that some people in our team can't see clearly, I can only protect you first, I hope you can understand!"
"However, this is all in the past, now that Yanusz has been defeated, and his henchmen have all fallen and scattered, I can finally release you!"
Absec then said a lot more, and even if he knew who this guy was, Anwo couldn't help but be moved.
Now he finally understands what the old man often says, sometimes knowing a little less is not a kind of happiness, and knowing too much can become a kind of pain.
If he hadn't been involved in the affairs of the church, hadn't seen the night talk between the general and the legion's envoys, and had learned so much about the stories behind it, it would have been possible to misunderstand the perfect good man in front of him.
Of course.
He knew very well that he was not qualified to say that.
He didn't kill Yanusz for any righteousness at all, and when he was in church, he hesitated to open fire or not, and now he has to accompany this guy against his will.
ββ¦β¦ Thank you, General! Anwo rolled out of his Adam's apple with the words, like the emotion rolling in his eyes.
"I should be the one who should say thank you!"
Absec looked at him intently, clasped his hands, and spoke earnestly and sincerely.
"On behalf of all the survivors of Borneo, thank you for your kindness!"
The reporter on the side recorded this scene with a shutter.
Looking at the two people in the dark, the old stick standing at the end of the group tilted his head slightly, turned his face sideways and said to the old dog standing next to him.
ββ¦β¦ Look what I was talking about. β
"Awesome." The old dog's face was written with a capital letter, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Low-key ......" Brother Stick coughed lightly and made a modest appearance.
The old wolf glanced at him.
"You're so awesome, why can't you."
Brother Stick smiled.
"You don't understand this, the ability to brag and the ability to do things are two different things. In terms of bragging, the eagle is not as good as me, but in terms of doing things, the eagle is still much better than me. β
The eagle standing aside rolled his eyes.
"You don't have to brag about my ......"
These dog things!
If it's a little useful, it's not useless!
The two of them had finally finished the show, and the eagle coughed lightly and walked over to Anwo and interjected into the conversation.
"Mr. Anwo, although there are your own hardships in it, I still hope that you will be calm when doing things, and don't go to extremes at every turn."
He said this in front of Anwo, but he said it to Absec next to him.
Anwo didn't know whether he heard it or not, and lowered his head in shame to admit his mistake.
"I'm sorry, I ......"
I really didn't want to think about the plot, and the eagle raised his hand to stop him.
"Well, I don't have to say sorry, it's your internal affair, and we don't want to interfere. What I am going to say next is about the situation in Borneo, which concerns not only us, but also you. β
Anwo immediately looked at his leader, Absec, who looked at the eagle and hurriedly put on a serious look.
"Speak!"
The eagle glanced at the two of them and slowly spoke.
"The foreign minister of the alliance has arrived at the port of Golden Gallen, and in order to broker a ceasefire between the various forces in Borneo, it would be better for your side to send a representative as well."
Without waiting for Absec to speak, he continued.
"We all think you're a good candidate, but that's a matter of asking for your own opinion, I wonder if you're interested?"
Anwo was overjoyed when he heard this, and just wanted to agree, but he suddenly reacted, looked at General Absec and said humbly.
"I'll listen to the general's arrangement!"
Absec really smiled, with a satisfied expression, patted his hand and said.
"Listen to what I arrange, as long as it is beneficial to the thousand tribes of the province of Borneo, just let it go! Don't ask me! Thank you to the emissaries of the Alliance! β
Anwo turned his head to look at the eagle and was about to bow his head in thanks, but the latter reached out to hold him.
"Let's not thank you, let's go out of this hellish place first!"
β¦β¦
Anwo, who assassinated Yanush in court, was released.
And it was also the person who Absec, the general leader of the Federation, personally went to the dungeon.
As soon as this news appeared in the "Survivor Daily", it immediately set off a thousand waves in the port of Jingallen in the lower reaches of the Yongliu River.
Originally, many people thought that even if Yanush's faction was completely liquidated, Anwo, the rising bird, would probably not end well.
After all, one thing is one thing.
If the assassins were not punished, would not all those who come after them have to follow suit?
From the standpoint of Absec and other high-level officials, this is obviously a very bad start.
However, what people did not expect was that Absec actually pardoned Anwo himself.
A photo of the two shaking hands was featured on the cover of the Daily Survivor.
While everyone was surprised, they couldn't help but applaud that this Borneo province had finally ushered in a Ming monarch.
How can an open-minded person be afraid of the flies and dogs in the shadows?
How can a true reformer, when he sees his comrades-in-arms, have nothing but enthusiasm and respect?
The eyes illuminated by the flash were shining......
With the release of the hero who assassinated Yanush, the murder case in the Tiandu Palace has finally come to an end.
Since then, however, all officers of the rank of 10 and above have been given their guns.
It was a symbol of their status.
But now, only officers on the front line can go to the logistics office to receive guns and ammunition.
As for the soldiers on duty at all levels, they have also implemented the management method of separating guns and ammunition according to their groups, and one person is responsible for accidents, and two are responsible.
Not only that, but the directly subordinate guard units below the 10,000-person team have also been disrupted.
Originally, the guard units of command units at all levels were the confidants of the officers themselves, but now they are uniformly deployed by the logistics department, and the promotion and evaluation are also concentrated in the hands of the logistics system.
For example, Isher was originally Anwo's subordinate, but now he has been assigned to serve as the captain of the guard (hundred-man team) under another commander, but his immediate superior is not the commander of his own team, but a higher level of captain.
It is equivalent to dismantling the sword of power into a blade and a handle.
Man is a good learning animal.
Just as Isher saw his own shadow in Orissa's body, Absec saw his face in Yanush's corpse.
Although he didn't admit it, the violent death of the Heavenly King obviously stimulated him and kept him awake for several nights.
Otherwise, he would not have been in such a hurry to make a series of changes, hurriedly proving to everyone that he was completely different from Yanush...... Even if they're the same kind of people.
But objectively speaking, apart from the stimuli and motivation of Absek, the series of changes he made did contain an element of progress.
On the other side, although the seven-way army in the field did not disperse, its morale also declined.
coincided with the decline of the capital and the lifting of the suppression of local forces, and those local forces that were stunned also organized one after another in order to protect themselves, or found new backers to fight against the "natural disaster".
From being defeated and retreating at the beginning, now these local armies have been able to stabilize their own fronts, and even fight back and forth with the Heavenly King Army.
The Snake King, who was fighting in the southeast, was the first to receive a head-on blow from the Black Panther Army.
They were completely vulnerable in the face of the well-equipped and well-trained Black Panther Army, and they were forced to give up all their thoughts about Leopard State and honestly retreat back to the territory of Wolf State and Snake State.
Coincidentally, the Dog King and the Sheep King who fought in the north also had a bad time.
First, because of the uneven distribution of spoils, his own people fought several battles, and finally because they dragged each other on the battlefield, they were picked up by Lassi in the east, and about one-third of the land in the three northern states fell into the hands of the Mammoth State authorities.
As for the gray wolf who originally blocked Lassy, although he was still brave in battle, he was more and more powerless in the face of Lassy's increasingly full-fledged wings and his own poor logistics situation.
War has never been just a matter of the front line, and with the strength of Alayan alone, he can't stop the devastating mountain flood from bursting the embankment, and he can only watch as Dog State, Sheep State, and Bird State are divided by two thieves.
Except for the three kings who still held the banner of the Heavenly King Army, the remaining four kings were more knowledgeable, and they returned to Tiandu one after another, changed their flags, and drew a clear line with their original identities.
They are not stupid, they know very well what kind of virtue they are, and what kind of virtue the Heavenly King Army is.
They are like an avalanche rolling down from the top of a mountain, and it took all their efforts to conquer half of Borneo.
And now that the breath held in his chest is gone, the people's hearts are basically scattered.
It was only a matter of time before the ship sank, so it was better to join the federation while he was still valuable, and he could be regarded as climbing ashore from this eternal river.
The development of events was beyond the expectations of all the spectators who were concerned about the matter.
Especially the diners at a noodle restaurant in Golden Gallen Harbor.
Everyone thought that the seven kings in the opposition would develop into a force to be reckoned with, but they found that in the end, they still thought that this group of rebels who were halfway out of the house were too capable......
β¦β¦
At the beginning of February, an early light rain made the air in Tiandu smell more humid.
This year's rainy season seems to have come earlier than usual, and almost two months earlier.
It seems that this province of Borneo is not completely unaffected by the extreme climate of the wasteland.
At the north gate of Tiandu, there was a long queue of people entering the city, and people were inspected one by one.
Closely following the pangolin, Penny, wrapped in a robe, carefully observed her surroundings.
It's only been half a month since they've last been here, and the sight here has become a little unrecognizable to her.
The first is that the men with bandages on their arms are gone, replaced by a group of soldiers in gray military uniforms, patrolling the streets in neat columns.
The clothes were all new, as if they had been bought.
Secondly, there are many vendors on both sides of the street, which seems to have become a lot more than before, and there are shouts and shouts everywhere, which looks so lively!
Listening to the pangolin, it seems that it is because Absek, the commander of Tiandu, lifted the curfew. Therefore, even some villagers who live far away push small carts to transport the village's specialties over, without worrying that the distance is too far, and they will not be able to return to their homes before dark, and will be caught and tortured by the big-headed soldiers.
Speaking of which, I have to mention in passing that the Xilan coins originally issued by the Xilan Empire have been stopped from circulation.
However, instead of adopting a one-size-fits-all strategy, the new authorities allowed Borneo residents to take the silan currency and exchange it for a new type of money called "Borneo" in the banks of the joint-stock reform.
This new money is issued by the credit endorsement of the authorities, authorized by the banknote printing factory in the port of Golden Gallen, and the exchange ratio with the Xilan currency is 1:1, and it can only be exchanged after completing the registration of residents, and each person is limited to 10,000 yuan.
The recovered Xilan coins are naturally written off directly, and the new money exchanged can be regarded as "releasing liquidity" to the market.
It is said that this was also the idea of the coalition representatives, in order to minimize the impact of regime change on the middle and lower classes.
During this time, they hid in the countryside of Niuzhou and did not return until the situation here stabilized.
Looking at the sentry post that was getting closer and closer, Penny looked at the pangolin and couldn't help but whisper.
"Now into the city...... Is it really okay? β
Looking at the nervous Penny, the Battlefield Atmosphere Group smiled confidently and said softly comfortingly.
"Don't worry, I've already inquired."
Before leaving, he specially went to the forum to ask and confirmed that there was nothing to do.
Not even to say that it was okay, the current Borneo authorities were eager to start negotiations with the Legion immediately.
The smell of gunpowder in Xifan Harbor became more and more obvious, and boxes of ammunition were brought ashore one by one.
While the coalition is still brokering through diplomatic channels, the Borneo authorities are clearly prepared for the worst.
Eighty percent of this battle cannot be avoided, but negotiations can always drag on for some time.
The entire province of Borneo, except for the three kings and one Alayyan, is still making trouble, and has basically formed a united front, not to mention monolithic, but at least they will not stab each other.
In addition to this, reinforcements from the alliance are also coming ashore one after another.
Even a little more time at this time would be excellent for the Borneo authorities.
For the Battlefield guys who have already crossed their hands with the Alliance Emissary, the current situation is clear.
On behalf of the civil clique of Triumph City, he would declare his recognition of Borneo and approve their liquidation of the remnants of the Celestial Army in exchange for "recognition of the Legion's de facto control over the port of Saifan" and "the agreement on the treaty port signed by the Old Empire is still valid."
Although this may offend the Southern Army, the tragedy in Xifan Harbor has already torn the faces of both sides, and it is no longer necessary to care about such a decent thing now.
This was not only Mr. Bennott's intention, but also the unanimous decision of the entire Triumph City civil service group.
They don't want to be part of the big gamble of the Southern bloc.
Regardless of the odds, there is no benefit in winning the bet, and losing will also lose all that they have worked so hard to do in the province of Borneo.
As for the Borneo country falling to the alliance, it is not a big problem, that group of guys who have milk and are mothers have never had loyalty at all, and it is a big deal to win them back.
The line that entered the city slowly moved forward, and finally lined up itself.
Without saying a word, the battlefield guy directly pulled out the crumpled document in his arms, revealing his identity.
"I am the messenger of the Legion, the Pangolin! Let your leaders come and see me! β
The six soldiers standing at the gate of the city were stunned by this sentence, and several civilians at the back of the team were also stunned, and subconsciously dodged a few steps to the side.
The look of fear made Penny nervous.
With a handful of sweat in her palms, she tugged on the corner of the pangolin's clothes, and the whole person was almost attached to his body.
At this time, a soldier finally reacted, hurriedly threw down the sentence "Wait a minute", and ran behind the city gate without saying a word.
It didn't take long for the centurion on duty to trot around the corner behind the city gate.
Not as expected by the war guys.
The smile on his face was full of enthusiasm, and he was completely different from the fierce and evil gods half a month ago.
After confirming the document in his hand, the centurion's smile widened, and he was almost flattering.
"Mr. Messenger, please come in! Our Archon has been waiting for you for a long time! β
The Battlefield didn't give him any good looks, and looked at him with his nostrils, like a real Willant, and only nodded his not-so-towering nose slightly.
"Lead the way."
The centurion didn't care, nodded with a smile on his face, and politely made a gesture of please.
"This way, please!" (End of chapter)
