Chapter 389: Returning to China
Strictly speaking, the embassy is an extension of the national territory, and the ambassador himself is very special. The gravity of an attack on an embassy in broad daylight no longer needs to be explained. The news spread all over the world in an instant, which was much more serious than a war between kobolds. Kobolds play dog brains, it is just a small area, and if the two powers declare war, it will be a precursor to a world war, especially under the premise that there are forbidden spells and forbidden weapons.
In China, the network that has just been connected to China has begun to run at full capacity. The parrots began to run to tell each other, the bards erupted in rage, and the tavern was full of slaps. "What? The Imperials can knock out our embassy with a single slip of their hand?" "What? The Imperials slipped their hands three times in a row?" "What? The Imperials think we are garbage, and even if they beat us, we dare not say anything?" ......
The tavern soon failed to vent the anger of the crowd and went out into the streets! Many people pointed fingers at the heavens and the earth, and the righteous indignation could not be filled, but soon found that it was useless, and it was necessary to find the right person. Who are you looking for? Naturally, I went to the Imperial embassy in Pauler.
At this time, Lou Baole Country's excellent national teleportation array system came into play, and angry people from all over the country could rush to the Imperial Embassy almost in a day. The Imperial Embassy was surrounded almost in the blink of an eye.
This kind of encirclement can be said to be encircled in the most extreme sense, spherical encirclement. There are also wind mages floating in the air to surround them, and earth mages diving underground to surround them, the surrounding space is confined and the roofs are full of people. A few hours later, there were also people who were good at building and built a scaffold, so that people with lower strength could climb up and surround it.
In this closed spherical encirclement, everyone scolded bitterly, and in a moment someone took the lead in shouting, unifying everyone's caliber: "Why did you hit our embassy?"
The Imperial ambassador cowered in the room, fidgeting. There's no point in going out and explaining at this point, one mouth can't argue with everyone. At the same time, if Lou Baole really goes berserk, there is no doubt that he will be the first victim. He can't run, and the Empire can't save him, so if he surrenders, it will be even more ugly to die.
"Hand slippery?he's a sword master, can he slip his hand?" "If he slips his hand, then we can't help it!" "Do you want to try whether it's your hand slip or ours?" ......
The squirters soon couldn't satisfy them, and they started to get their hands dirty. The first wave of long-range attacks came out of the way, and although Lou Pauler had strict restrictions on weapons in the country, even if it was an unarmed attack, it was not trivial for so many people. Lou Baole officials had to launch an enchantment technique to temporarily cover the Imperial Embassy.
This enchantment is a defense mechanism activated through the newly built main city magic array, and it is really impossible for ordinary people to break it with their bare hands. But it soon became clear that the barrier was also flawed. It's kind of like a net, it can keep magic and fighting energy out, but many small pieces of matter can easily pass through the barrier. It's like being leaked through a mesh.
The crowd began to use their imagination, and many people began to throw mud, stones, eggs, and leaves, and even parrots came to poop in the air. Parrots are all trained by the military, and they have received formal education since childhood, and now they still retain the temperament of the military period even after retiring for a short period of time. Even if I can't attack you at this time, I'll at least disgust you.
However, in addition to the "siege" of the embassy, there are also those who put pressure on the authorities. "Why do you want to protect the Imperial Embassy?" "Is it cowardly?" "Is it soft?" "Are we still the power of the weak class?" ......
The people at the bottom are crazy, and the officials or strong people in the middle and upper classes are not much better. But it is also relatively more sensible, and it can basically be said that it is divided into two factions, one of which is also similar to the civilians, and even wants to declare war on the Empire, or at least blow up their embassies as a sign of fairness. The other faction, on the other hand, has largely responded with silence.
Actually, what does this time period say: "Calm down, everyone should think rationally." Even before the argument is made, others have automatically added labels such as "coward", "coward", "traitor", etc., so that what you say later does not matter much. If you don't want to be sprayed by a group of people, it's better to be silent first.
On that day, the head of the Knights of Thunder, General Ode, and the head of the Assassins' Guild, Count Goulaid, set off directly to the kobold camp with only a few cronies. Speaking of which, Sain and Little Spoon are their son and daughter, respectively, so it's no wonder they're anxious. At the same time, the two Sword Masters traveled, and there were basically no safety hazards.
The special airship they were riding in was greatly blessed by powerful wind spells, and their speed increased rapidly. But even then, it was still two or three days away, and the original time was two weeks.
Kevin and the others were in a nearby cave at this time, and the ambassador's teleportation technique before his death could not, and it was impossible to directly teleport them back to China, but only temporarily teleported to a nearby hidden cave. This can only be a temporary means of evading Imperial attacks, as well as subsequent Imperial searches. Unlike the undead wizard's opening up of the xenodimensional space, the xenodimensional space is in the superimposed space opened up in situ, so it can be pried open. However, teleportation requires coordinates, and even if the Imperial people look for it later, they will not be able to find it because the teleportation array has been destroyed.
At that time, the spatial confinement was shaken, and the Imperial people were also aware of it. But whether or not anyone escaped, and how many, is difficult for the Empire to accurately estimate. However, after making such a big thing, the Imperial people do not intend to stay and fight against the people of Lou Baole, once the real Holy Order fights, it may really be a world war. The next day, all of them were hastily withdrawn.
Although Kevin's side is in the cave, the crows and parrots are outside, and the kobold is still outside. That's when the country knows that at least they're still alive.
Three days later, the two Juggernauts arrived at the local airport on time. The parrot stepped forward to greet him, and then the group hurried straight to the cave where Kevin was.
At this time, Kevin did not have the anger of ordinary people, nor did he have the sadness of hesitation, but was very calm, at least on the surface. He focused all his energy on the "female corpse".
At that time, if it weren't for the sudden resurrection of the "female corpse" and the application of a support spell to the ambassador, no matter how hard the ambassador teleported, it would not have been able to spread. After that, the "female corpse" was sent away with everyone and came to this cave for emergency refuge.
However, after escaping here, the "female corpse" is still a "female corpse". The crowd tried a lot of things, but they didn't wake her up. Her body was much softer, and everyone no longer used the ice circle to freeze her, except for a little nosebleed at the beginning, she also became similar to ordinary people, except that she had no heartbeat or breathing.
Everyone didn't dare to make a mistake, and it was difficult to judge whether she was pretending to be dead or really dead. It is estimated that it is more likely to play dead. In this case, everyone no longer dares to treat her as a corpse. The three of them wiped her down, and all the men avoided it, although in fact everyone had already seen it, but everyone was a gentleman after all. Now that you know that she may be alive, then respect it.
In his free time, Kevin silently recorded things. Emotions can't be expressed on the face, but as a writer, they can be expressed in the pen. And the more you write it, the clearer your thoughts become.
On this day, Kevin suddenly felt a tap on the shoulder!
was stunned, and there was even a feeling of tears in his eyes. "Lord Earl!" Kevin hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, he saw that the two Sword Saints were already standing behind him, and immediately remembered something, and hurriedly stood up straight, and saluted with a fist on his chest with his right hand, "General!"
"Alas. The two Sword Masters glanced at each other and said something, but they didn't know where to start for a while.
"Dad. Little Spoon and Sain hurried over to their respective fathers. After all, he has been out for a long time, and he escaped death, and he was very excited to see his father suddenly.
Pat on the shoulder and touch your head. The two Sword Masters didn't say anything more, just nodded in acknowledgment.
"Pack up your things and everyone go home. General Oude immediately announced. For a while, everyone was very excited, who could not miss home after going abroad for too long. I have long wanted to go back, who wants to stay in this kind of war-torn country. If it weren't for the new death of the ambassador, the mood would not have changed so quickly, and everyone would have cheered.
"Wait," Kevin remained bland, "there are two more things to do before I go home." ”
Everyone was stunned, and General Oude couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's really worthy of you, and you will scold me as soon as we meet." ”
"No," Kevin hastily explained, "there are two things, number one: the Empire has been withdrawn, but there is an ice vault left behind by the necromancer, which contains a large number of corpses and experimental materials. While for now, the Empire should be moving everything, but maybe something will be missing. Now we are not short of this time, and our combat power is enough, so we can take a detour to take a look. ”
Everyone calmed down and subconsciously looked at the "female corpse". The two Sword Masters glanced at each other and nodded.
"Second, the quilt warrior is a person I have cultivated, and now that I am leaving, I have to explain to them twice before leaving. Kevin replied, "Plus, I have a tiger cub." However, according to the original agreement, the tiger was to be given to the dark elves as a reward for helping the kobolds. It's just that this is happening now...... Alas. In addition, there is a notebook in the hands of the dark elves, a relic of Bradley's retinue Robles, we originally promised to copy each other and then exchange them, but now ......"
"Got it," General Oude nodded in understanding, "then hurry up and go to the freezer first." On the side of the quilt brave, just go to someone and bring a message. As for the question of the dark elves, leave it to the state to negotiate. Anyway, time is very tight, we have to set sail before tonight, and a bunch of people in the country are still waiting for you. ”
The Assassin leader waved his hand: "Pack up your things and go!"
Everyone went up and hurriedly picked up the "female corpse", and the assassin president threw some clothes out casually, and everyone put them on her. The two Sword Masters also attached great importance to this "female corpse", but they did not plan to come forward to check it out. They don't know much about necromancy either, and they don't dare to move around.
Out of the cave, everyone hurried to the location of the original ice storehouse, but saw that the entire cave had been filled. Fortunately, there are also good earth mages among the retinues brought by the Sword Master this time, and they forcibly open the way and open the tunnel again. Everyone returned to the same place and split the different dimension.
Sure enough, there was nothing left here, even the ice hedron on the wall to cool down had been taken away, and the three rooms were empty. However, everyone expected it, and it was not too surprising.
"Let's go. General Oude spoke.
"And the little tiger, I'm going to bring it over. Kevin spoke.
"Where's your crow?" said General Oude suddenly, "why haven't you seen it all the way?"
"This ......," Kevin hesitated.
"It's okay, let him go home. The huge building of the Pauler Kingdom can't accommodate the crows all the time?"
"Okay, then I'll call him over. Kevin nodded, and then informed the crow through his psychic power.
For a moment, the crow didn't know where it came out of nowhere, landed on Kevin's shoulder, and also learned the posture of a parrot salute, and raised its wings horizontally: "General!"
General Oude nodded: "When you go back, remember to cancel your master-servant contract, you shouldn't forget that you still signed a parrot slave, right? ”
"Thank you, General. The raven replied.
Look back at the cave that had been refilled. "I still remember that it was the ambassador who opened the alien dimension at that time......" The little spoon couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and the Assassin leader went over and patted the spoon: "Don't say it, let's go back to China first." ”
Try not to think too much, hugged the little tiger, mechanically followed everyone all the way back to the airport, and got on the airship. The airship gradually rose, and everyone looked at the land that was getting farther and farther away from them, and the familiar walled houses, and the place that should have been the embassy, turned into a bottomless chasm......
The little spoon couldn't hold back any longer, and cried out with a wow: "I think...... I think...... Who did we leave here......"
The Assassin Guild went to comfort and comfort him, and the others were affected by her crying, and their hearts were inevitably desolate. I had been looking forward to returning to China for a long time, but when I really returned to China, my heart was so heavy.
"Kevin," General Oude walked over, "why don't you say something?
Kevin sighed, "What else can I say? I am fully responsible for the Ambassador's death." I am the supreme commander here, and theoretically the ambassador is also cooperating with me, so I have nothing to say. ”
"If we really want to talk about accountability, then I am also responsible," General Oude sighed, "The reason why the military observer missions sent are all weak, in addition to some so-called international law, is mainly because the weak are not easy to attract attention, and it is easy to get things done if they are not taken seriously." However, when Bradley was transferred, it can be said that you have attracted enough attention. In this case, as a superior commander, you should actually be allowed to withdraw. ”
Kevin was silent and did not answer.
"But you did a very good job, and for a moment it gave us the illusion that you could keep winning. Even Bradley can't do anything about you, you still plot against the opposing reconnaissance leader, kill the dragon knight leader, kill the sword master retinue, and stabilize the power of the quilt brave. From all things considered, even if you change someone who is stronger than you, it will be difficult to achieve your level. "General Oude is sincere, not hypocritical.
Kevin sighed: "But the so-called constant victory and undefeated are only an ideal state after all." It was true that the previous things were going too well, and it caused me to swell. If it weren't for that, maybe I wouldn't have planned such a big war, one is that thunderstorms are really rare, and the other is that the mentality is really out of balance. On the other hand, every time I encountered a crisis, I would seek refuge in the embassy, and gradually I felt as if the embassy was an absolute safe zone. Although someone came in and played Assassination, I really didn't expect it to be so simply destroyed. ”
"It's a fluke that we survived this time," Kevin shook his head, "If you think about it, maybe it's a necessity." The weak and the strong game, even if the weak through wisdom, means, luck and other factors, and win again and again, we must understand that the strong is the strong after all, and he has the ability to flip the table. When necessary, he will use absolute power. ”
"That's a good analysis," the Assassin president said, "and let me ask you, the mood for war in the country is high. In your opinion, should we go to war with the Empire, or at least blow up the embassy of the other side?"
Kevin was silent for a moment and asked, "What is the attitude of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
"Strongly condemned, solemnly protested," General Oude spread his hands, "the empire is also willing to apologize and pay reparations, but only for the slippery hand." It is impossible for us to accept the notion that the hand is slippery. This matter has not yet been decided in China, and the king may ask you too. ”
Kevin looked up at the sky, thought for a long time, and shook his head: "I'm very tired now, it's not like thinking about this, let's go back to China and talk about it." ”
