Chapter 130: Make a Break
Elle never thought that a sense of justice would be anything to do with him, because the word was silly inside and out. He prefers to describe himself in another word, and that is conscience. He was not a knight with a sense of justice, but a hunter with a conscience.
He also didn't believe that General Hank would take his "sense of justice" to heart. If it was the Kenan Knight before entering the ruins, maybe there would still be a little sense of justice left in his heart. But General Hank, the leader of the Night's Watch, is over forty years old, and naturally the way of thinking about problems is not as simple as that of a young man.
So that's not a good reason, but a proper step. General Hank had many options before him, he could stay and become a bandit, he could follow the Isttalons around, or go back to his old club to report the situation. But in reality, there are not many options available to him.
Staying in the brownland hills is certainly not a long-term solution, maybe Roger can rise to become a powerful party with the wealth he has excavated, but with the weak foundation here in the brownland hills, it is definitely not a matter of success in three or five years. Moreover, as El said, although the robbers have become richer, the total amount of living resources has not increased, and it may be really difficult to support thousands of elite soldiers with Roger's current power.
And there is no unpaid favor, why does the dignified night watch warrior have to hide in this poor country and eat chaff?
Of the remaining options, no matter where they want to go, traveling with the Istalon is the most suitable choice. El's prestige has earned the respect of the leaders of all factions, and even the most unsightly wild hyena knows how to seek advantage and avoid harm. In contrast, the perennial night watchman is not well-known and even less known.
Of course, if El's brazen solicitation would hurt the self-esteem of the Night's Watch warriors. At this time, send a reasonable "step" full of a sense of justice, which normal people can accept emotionally.
Although El has always considered himself uneducated, he is very accurate in his judgment on certain issues. Although he also knew that if he let Lolana open his mouth to solicit him, it would not take ten minutes for the eldest lady to make General Hank grateful. However, he still insisted on handling the matter on his own, even if General Hank had other ideas, it didn't matter, there was no need to completely drain the value of these poor guys.
This is a sign of respect between fighters and a "conscientious" approach.
General Hank did not disappoint El, and the next morning when the Isttalon warriors were about to leave, he followed with his troops of the Night's Watch. More than a hundred Night's Watch chose to stay, some of them willing to fall, while others thought that they could achieve a higher position in the bandit circle with their own strength. Everyone has their own ambitions, but most Night's Watch warriors choose to trust their commander.
General Hank's face was very unsightly, and the loss of nearly a tenth of his personnel made him, the self-proclaimed commander of an elite unit, feel a little embarrassed. Roger's face was also very ugly, although he knew in his heart that it was unrealistic to let the night watchman stay, but in the end he was very unhappy that only such a few people were left.
"General El, General Hank, I don't know what your plans are in the future?" Although he was unhappy in his heart, since the matter had been decided, and everyone didn't look good if he continued to be entangled, Roger shrugged his shoulders and smiled, and asked about the whereabouts of the two people.
"We, the Isttalons, are going to take refuge with Lord Churkin, but we haven't heard back yet. El briefly said his destination.
"Churkin the boar, I've heard of the name of the man since he was even a member of the Night's Watch, but it's not clear what has changed over the years. General Hank nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Whether or not the actions of that Shadow Councillor, Mr. Quezalas, are of personal will, we Night's Watch are always loyal warriors of the Truth Society, and we must go back to find a true answer. Until then, however, we can also provide protection to refugees in Istalen until you reach your destination. ”
"Frankly, I don't think the Istalon need to be escorted, you don't know that the prestige of General El and the Isttalon warriors has spread throughout the brown hills. Roger shook his head and smiled, "And then again, their team is moving at the same speed as a turtle crawl, so why rush to the road?"
"It's just to take advantage of your holiday that we have to run quickly. El pouted. The Isttalon warriors have mounts, but the Night's Watch don't, and the Truth Society won't equip a group of soldiers guarding the underground with mounts, even if they are brain-pumping. These big guys need to shake off their thighs and run behind their butts. Besides, who is in the mood to stay and eat and drink at this time?
Roger and El's eyes collided silently, and a spark seemed to flash in the air. El felt that he had a clear conscience, so his eyes were calm. And Roger's eyes flickered twice, and his face was quietly persuaded:
"There are very few friends to entertain in the brown hills, but according to our custom, once a real friend is a guest, you must treat it for three days with good wine and good meat. Even if you don't want to stay here for a long time, if you only stay for one day, you won't delay much, right?"
That's a kind of funny thing to say. El tilted his head and nodded, watching Roger's gaze become meaningful: "Although I don't think we are friends, after all, we have fought side by side together, so we have a little friendship." Why do I think you seem to have ulterior motives in what you say? We're all smart people, so let's talk about it. ”
"Didn't I understand that enough?" asked Roger with a hurt look on his face.
"I'm a rough guy and don't like to beat around the bush. El waved his hand and smiled, "Why don't I call Miss Lolana over and let her guess?" Do you think she can guess what color of your panties are wearing today?"
A drop of cold sweat left on Roger's head, and he immediately raised his hands to signal surrender. Although Lolana also played a crucial role in this treasure hunt, he still deliberately ignored her existence, preferring to fight with El rather than look at the eldest lady more. From an academic point of view, this is called IQ difference affecting distance. In vernacular, it means that donkeys and horses cannot play happily together.
"Well, I admit, there was a bit of trouble indeed. Roger smiled bitterly, "If you two can stay one more day, I can pay you......"
As soon as he had said this, he saw a robber galloping in from outside, rushing all the way to Roger, and shouting breathlessly, "Chief...... They're coming!"
Roger's face changed slightly, and he didn't make a sound, just took the water bladder from his saddle and threw it over. The robber took the water bladder and poured it desperately into a few sips, and finally took a breath, calmed down and whispered, "Hawkeye and the shepherd have come together, they have colluded with the gang of people in the north and underground, and it looks like there are at least a few thousand men and horses from a distance. ”
"Got it, you go down to rest, and change another group of brothers out to continue to observe. Roger nodded, patted the robber on the shoulder and told him to leave, turned his head to El and Hank and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid you really won't be able to leave this time." ”
"Hey, hey, we've heard it, thousands of people, our friendship is not worth it for me to work so hard for you. El snorted with a wary face. I don't know what's going on, but I can guess a little bit of it. It's nothing more than Roger's sudden richness, which has caused other forces to become red. In the face of sufficient interests, the so-called rule that the Sahara Flame Conference does not allow infighting naturally becomes shit.
People die for money, and birds die for food, which is a cruel reality that has remained unchanged through the ages.
"You don't know those two bastards...... One is an idiot and the other is a madman. No matter how crazy things they do, it's not surprising. Roger said very seriously, "You can pass through the territory under my rule, that is, in the southern part of the brownland hills, but those two bastards will not care about my orders or your reputation. They don't even think about the gains and losses, and many times burning, killing, and looting are all based on their own preferences. ”
"So, if we're not going to help, you're going to release these two mad dogs to bite people. El's face couldn't help but sink.
"If they had listened to me, they would have joined the revelry of the Flame Convention a long time ago. Roger also knew that it was difficult to explain clearly at this time, so he didn't explain anymore, but simply said: "I do things fairly, which the other bigwigs have no objection to, and these two bastards were unwilling to join the gang at the beginning, and now they want to come and take advantage of it, how can there be such a good thing in the world? I will unite everyone to teach them a hard lesson, and you should at least stand by us for now." ”
"Well, that's kind of interesting. El nodded, turned to look at General Hank, and asked for his opinion with his eyes.
"I've heard of Hawkeye...... This person seems to be in collusion with the Demon Order?" General Hank asked after a moment of silence before suddenly speaking.
"That's right, Hawkeye has been hooking up with those demonic minions for the past few years, and this time he seems to have brought the Demon Order with him. Roger said.
"Whatever our true mission is, at least every one of our Night's Watch warriors swear to fight the demons to the death!" General Hank patted the sword at his waist and said, "Now let's make a break with these demons before we leave!"
