Chapter 299: Night Talk

Is it eloquence?

Philip rarely spoke publicly, at least never in front of the Rub Boys, and never thought of himself as the master behind the Rub Boys.

Or maybe it's power?

Maybe the second-level awakened Philip is very strong, after all, some of them have been witnessed by his own eyes, but there are too many stronger than him in this world, even the girl Afu next to him, and the giant-like Victor, definitely have the strength that is not inferior to him.

So, what is the reason, Murphy has some vague guesses, but he can't say clearly.

But there is one thing that Murphy, who is in his 40s this year, knows, that is, since a decision has been made, do not easily reverse it, unless the other party has done something beyond the limits of his tolerance.

Now, there may be discontent, but it is far from the level of the so-called floor.

Philip looked at Murphy's young face, which was already distinctly red, but unusually similar to Old Barton, and said, "After this great battle, the Prairie people suffered heavy casualties, and so did we, almost half of Maga was destroyed, and the rest was useless.

Without you, Johnson's recruits might have all had to fight in this fight, but they survived.

From tonight, they are already a qualified fighter. ”

At this, Philip paused and handed Murphy a cigarette without a filter.

The two of them lit in the backlight, and both took a long breath, and the white smoke quickly dissipated into the icy air with the cold wind of the night.

Philip continued: "Continue to the east, I don't plan to continue to fight hard, if the steppe people's Daxun is not stupid, he will definitely tighten up.

And the Red Moon Pass will definitely not be able to hold it, and the fall will be a matter of the past two days.

I've basically done everything I can do, and I've got an explanation for the family, for Gaokan City, and for the empire.

Early tomorrow morning, you will send 10,000 men to send these wounded back to Tieyan Pass, regardless of the severity of the wounded, and walking with the other wounded can be regarded as taking care of them.

I've already said hello to the other side, 5,000 servings of medicine, and someone will hand it over to your cronies at that time. ”

"5,000 copies?" asked Murphy, confused, not that the number was too much, but that it was simply not enough.

Philip explained: "There is no shortage of weapons and armor in the city of Gokan now, and there is no shortage of food, but there is a shortage of medicines to treat trauma, and the shelf life of this kind of thing is only two years at most, so there will not be too many stocks.

I still insisted on coming to these 5,000 copies through my father's relationship.

I know that the number is definitely not enough, so the power to choose who to use is in your hands, and I will not interfere. ”

Philip said these words in a flat tone, which silenced Murphy again, and he didn't say much anyway.

Philip's meaning couldn't be more naked, these 5,000 pills are 5,000 lives, even if only half of them survive, these people will be his Murphy's die-hard supporters in the future, even if they will recognize this truth with the strange values of the Bo people.

Putting you to work hard, and then paying for your life, is this the game that these people are used to?

Philip carefully looked at Murphy, whose expression was hideous for a while, calm for a while, and gloomy for a while, and was very satisfied.

If it were a real hero in Murphy's position, I am afraid that he would have thought about becoming the king for a long time, and such a person might be more useful, but Philip did not dare to use it, because so far he has been taking advantage of the situation, and lacks the power that really belongs to him.

Until you become a true Templar, this situation will hardly change qualitatively.

What is the official title he is carrying, Wing Captain? It's just like a joke, what's the use?

Fortunately, he was not mistaken, although Murphy is not a soft-hearted person, he is not a ruthless man either.

If that's the case, maybe Philip will be even more ruthless today, making that casualty figure 40,000, or 50,000.

I don't know why, except for one Chand, who is still smooth and self-motivated, he is surrounded by such a group of people who are obviously quite capable but have no ambitions.

Paul is like that, and so is Murphy, which makes him sometimes really have a bit of a headache, but he is complacent and extremely contradictory.

So he decided to give Murphy a reassuring pill and let him understand something, otherwise with his brain, he might not be able to figure it out next year.

As for those people of the Alpine Ward, hehe, except for those Maga regiments, the farther away the better, even the guards.

"After this war, the empire will inevitably strengthen its management of this mountainous area, after all, the gap opened by the steppe people is there, and it is too far from the border to send only one or two outposts at most.

But that doesn't mean there aren't any other follow-up actions.

The Alpine people will not come down from their Black Forest, so this mountain is yours, or yours.

The Empire won't let this have a unified regime here, let alone a half-breed bastard in their eyes, so your camp can't always be that large, and you can't support it now with so many people gathered together.

But because of your merits, the biggest piece of cake must be yours, as long as the Mad Lion family is still there, you are here, and as long as I am alive, you will not be cleaned up.

At the same time, you must also guarantee the interests of me and the Wild Lion Family in this land.

If I become a Templar in the future, I will advise the Templar to establish a branch here, as long as you cooperate well, it will be the greatest political capital in your life.

Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Murphy replied quickly, of course he understood.

As someone who had witnessed the power of the temple and traveled in the secular world, he naturally knew that as long as the temple was stationed in this mountain, it would be a certain outcome.

Beliefs here are chaotic, or there is no unified belief at all, and almost every village has its own god.

Such a foundation can't stop the erosion of the temple at all, and there is nothing to resist, as long as the temple comes up with the kind of herb magic that heals his sister Alessandra, it will make the vast majority of people who are afraid and tormented by bloodline diseases welcome the arrival of the temple at the first time.

As long as he cooperates properly, he will not only become his Murphy's capital, but also Philip's first pot of gold in the temple, and there is no credit more important than adding hundreds of thousands or even millions of believers to the temple.

In the past, this mountain seemed to be a forgotten area of the gods, and the official entry of the temple means that this land has entered the mainstream world's vision, and it also represents the first time that they have been recognized by the mainstream world.

Even if we want to gain the respect and face of the world, there is still a long way to go in the future, but the first step has finally been taken, and it is also a crucial step.

Murphy suddenly understood something: "Those dead warriors?"

Philip's big blue eyes rolled and nodded.

Although it is not yet known whether Bruce's life or death is alive, Philip is still alive.

Whether he chooses to become the heir of the Mad Lion Division in the future, or joins the temple as originally planned, as long as he does not die, he will need this land to provide him with sufficient resources far and wide.

In this sense, the unexpected attack of the steppe people brought him a great gift, and this gift was exchanged for the lives of countless imperial soldiers and Lubo.

He was confident that he would be able to control Murphy while he was alive, and that after he died, he wouldn't care if he flooded.

"The more people you die today, the greater your credit, not how many steppe people you kill.

The credit is not yours, it is useless if you want to come, the empire will not let you in, and it will not give you even a small title.

I don't believe you haven't found out who the group of people who rushed the most and died the most today were.

I know that he had a lot of prestige in the slave camps at the rallying points on the Western Front, so you didn't kill him right then and give him a chance.

He's a talent and a lot of means.

It's a pity that he doesn't know the relationship between you and me, and he is also a little anxious.

Originally, Chand had a chance to save them with a small tactical solution, but I refused, so he and his cronies died.

Now, do you know what you need to do?"

Even though the cold was heavy in the night, Murphy's cold sweat still flowed down at once, and he stood there at a loss.

He finally figured out why Philip had gathered so many people from 30 people around him in a short period of time, forming such a huge combat power.

Although they all look similar and don't eat an extra piece of meat, some people are inherently different from others.

Murphy suddenly felt very relaxed, because he accepted his fate, just follow Philip's orders, and there was no need to think too much about it.

Because no matter how much you think about it, you don't think as much as he does.

So he asked seriously, "Is it the rest of the battle?"

Philip also smiled, shook his head and said, "From Yun'er's side, I should call you Uncle Murphy."

It's inevitable to keep fighting, but it's not the most important thing you should do.

The most important thing you should do is to find a woman to have a baby as soon as possible after the end of this local war.

Don't tell me there are no Ward women in the camp, you can find two more, and it's better to have a boy, I'll arrange a bloodline purification ceremony, and let him live in Gokan City. ”

Murphy nodded, and stopped talking, he should have a child of his own at his age.

Not only the women of the Ward tribe, but also the women of the Leita tribe who have thick waists and limbs, and are plump and fat, may also give him a strong boy.

Philip returned to the camp of the Chinese army, and Afu was destined to be very busy tonight, so he slept alone again.

It's just that he is getting used to the woman who will gently scrub him, so that he can find a trace of home-like warmth in this vast mountain thousands of miles away from home.

"Good night, Ale. He greeted a dark figure in the tree, only to a grinning grunt.

Just as he was about to rest, he suddenly heard a murmuring sound outside, so he went outside again to check.

A crowd of people had gathered at the edge of the camp in the night, and Chand and Paul were gathered there, as if something had happened.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Chand's face was not very good, and he whispered, "Wick's brother just died, and he is praying for a blessing to see him off." ”

Philip's expression is not very good-looking, the Wick brothers are both old men in his personal guard, but Wick has awakened, and his brother has not.

Both brothers have very good personalities, they are the pistachios in the escort group, especially the elder brother McGee, who is always hippie and smiling, always likes to tell some little jokes with colors, very humorous, and everyone likes him very much.

Unexpectedly, from the thirty or so people who entered this mountain at the beginning, they fought all the way to today, and McGee actually fell here.

"Haven't you seen it?" he asked.

Although it is not explicitly stated, there are still invisible unspoken rules, and the healing level of the guards will inevitably be higher than that of Johnson, then the warriors of the Maga Regiment, and then the warriors of the Rampo clan under Murphy.

Unless the injury is too severe, with Afu's healing ability, he may not be able to recover immediately, but there should be no problem in saving his life.

This time it was Paul who explained that the Wick brothers had been chosen in the first place.

"Don't blame Afu, her awakening ability is only an hour a day.

McKie came back in fine condition, only a minor injury, so he gave the opportunity to the two children of the new regiment.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly fainted after dinner, it was internal bleeding, and Afu had tried her best. ”

Philip didn't know how he felt about it, maybe it was fate, no matter what, it was his brother.

He separated the crowd and walked in, McGee's body was laid flat on the ground, I don't know if it was an illusion, Philip didn't see a trace of pain on his face, but was very calm, as if he was asleep.

Wick knelt down on one knee in front of his brother and was whispering a well-known folk song from the Southeast, which was McGee's favorite song during his lifetime.

In the town where the brothers were born, there was a custom that at the funeral of every loved one, the deceased's favorite song would be sung to see the deceased off.

The deceased was the greatest, and Philip also knelt there on one knee and tapped his fingers three times on McGee's forehead and heart.

This is also a custom in the southeast, which means to bless the deceased to return to their hometown as soon as possible and return to the arms of Gaia, the goddess of the earth.

Normally such rituals are performed by the local priest, and now in this wilderness, as the chief of the entire team, he has the duty to fulfill this responsibility on his behalf.

What's more, as we all know, he is also the glorious knight of the temple, which could not be more appropriate.

Wick's eyes were red, but he didn't cry out loud, this was a barracks after all, and he hugged Philip gratefully.

Philip's heart is also very uncomfortable, life and death, no one can escape this experience, but now lying on the ground is his life and death robe, so it is extremely sentimental.

If Duke was lying on the ground one day, maybe he would be even sadder, but he didn't want to think about that possibility.

Philip asked Ave for a small harmonica she had brought with her, and played it to the tune that Wick had just hummed, a little rusty at first, but gradually smoothed after two times.

The melodious sound of the piano echoed through the woods, and more and more Ward warriors gathered around and hummed to the melody.

The tune of the song is soft, just like that of the McGee brothers, and on this night, everyone believes that McGee's soul has returned to his hometown town, to the bosom of Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth.

It's just that I don't know if his soul mark quietly appeared on the soul tablet, whether the priests there would find out in time, and how sad his family would be.

Although Philip thought he had done a good job, he didn't expect what a huge repercussion his glorious results would have after reaching Red Moon Pass and Gaokan City.

At the same time, it also had a far-reaching impact on the direction of the war that took place on the southern border.

"This stinky boy!" Brad read the battle report in his hand word by word, and the expression on his face was very exciting, with pride, worry, surprise, and a hint of reasonableness.

Marquis No, who had completely lived in the military headquarters, looked at the battle report in his hand, frowned, and then stretched out again.

In any case, as soon as the seemingly small number of 300,000 steppe people was removed, the battle situation on the entire southern front returned to a relatively safe level.

As the lord of Gokan City, the supreme commander of all the troops, he had no reason to be unhappy.

"That's what the kid said?" he asked his lieutenant.

"Yes, although it was not written in the military newspaper, but he did say so. And Earl Brad has made an appointment to report back to you privately in half an hour via a private channel. The adjutant replied.

Although he was no longer young, he tried to straighten up as much as he could, and seemed to be genuinely happy about the victory beyond the border.

There is hardly a good thing in the defense line of Gaokan these days, and regiments of warriors drive up to the front, and then turn into cold corpses and are sent back by wagons.

Because there are too many, sometimes it is not even too late to converge properly, so it can only be hastily piled on the carriage, and there are often one or two parts missing.

There was a serious shortage of low-level commanders, and many young people who had just graduated from military schools for a few years had to be promoted to become the mainstay of this army.

Since the beginning of the war, the number of brigade commanders appointed by the three major military cities due to death or wounding has reached 11, which shows how terrible and cruel this war was.

This unexpected victory will definitely greatly boost the morale of all the officers and men of the entire regiment, and will also make those hairy boys more and more brave and confident.

Especially Wesley, Boris, Phelps, Chuck, these wonderful children, it's a pity......

Marquis Nuo settled down, when he is old, he will inevitably think about some things, is it because he is no longer as confident and calm as when he was young?

That's why we will suffer from gains and losses, and we can't help but make certain mistakes......

But it's also good that the curtain call of the older generation will bring the new generation to the fore.

Every time the times collide, a group of outstanding young people will be born from blood and fire to lead this new era.

It's a pity that Brad's eldest grandson could come back.

Philip didn't know how many people in the whole of Gokan City were talking about him that night because of the great victory he had been forced to come out of.

But he slept soundly, more soundly than the night at Tieyan Pass.

This tragic battle full of corpses made his mentality undergo some transformation, and he began to take a big step forward on the road to a mature commander.
