Chapter 52: The Calculation Behind the Scenes

Roger stood motionless on the top of the hill, far away from the hills, watching the battle in the distance. Suddenly, he looked moved, and pulled out a hay doll from his sleeve that was exactly the same as Blackbeard's hand. The doll twisted and danced in his hand for a long time as if it were alive, and then spontaneously combusted with a pop of no wind.

"Old ...... Daddy said it was a talisman for me...... "A young, thin robber who followed him, when he saw his burning hay doll, took two steps back in horror, and cried out in disbelief.

"This is a stand-in puppet doll, and Blackbeard can swap places with you as long as he thinks about it. However, there are certain requirements for distance, so I specially arranged for you to lurk nearby...... For so many years, his trick has long been clearly understood, and the hole cards have been used a lot, so naturally they are not considered to be the hole cards. Who knows the truth will be a substitute for him? I have no choice but to coax you young people who don't know the depths. ”

Roger threw away the burning hay doll, turned around and patted the young robber on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't worry, Blackbeard may have met a hard character this time, and it's hard to say whether he can survive or not." A few of you run away and come back when the limelight is over, and if you want to follow me when the time comes, it's no problem. ”

"Thank you, thank you, sir!" the young robber looked at the burning wreckage on the ground, and quickly nodded in agreement, feeling grateful to Roger in his heart. As long as he can live these years, no one wants to die, compared to the declining and selfish Blackbeard, the ghost wolf Roger with good character and generous personality is undoubtedly a more worthy of refuge.

After the young robber left gratefully, Roger's cronies came up and asked in a low voice, "Chief, these rookies probably can't keep their mouths, do we want to ......?"

"Let them go, do big things with grace, there is no need to worry about small things. Roger shook his head disapprerovingly, patted the dust on his hands, and said: "Don't be careless, that old thing can survive until now, and it may not have other hole cards, so let everyone keep an eye on it." ”

Although an alliance was formed for the sake of profit, the covenant between the robbers was never valid, Roger was never a good man and a woman, and Blackbeard could not believe such nonsense. If his ambush plan succeeds this time, of course, he can re-establish his position in the alliance, but if it fails, Roger will naturally stick a knife in the back, which is a tacit understanding between the two of them very well with each other.

The mutual calculation between the robbers made no sense to the Istaron warriors, and the only rule they believed in was to fight, with the winner king and the loser the lore. 【Starter】

What is the Silver Secret Realm? What is the power of the Silver Rank? Palanti once asked his father these two questions after he was stuck in a bottleneck, but Pross did not answer them directly, but just said: You are still young, you will understand when you grow up.

What is the Silver Secret Realm? If you want to describe it in words, it will be difficult for even a strong person who has been promoted to the silver rank to answer this question well. Lolana once said to El that the so-called hierarchical division is actually the degree of human cognition of the world, and the meaning of the Silver Secret Realm is the cognition of oneself.

This statement is too subjective for Palanti to understand. She is a warrior whose only solution to problems is to fight, seeking a breakthrough between life and death. Blackbeard is indeed a tough opponent worth fighting, and in just a few moments of fighting, Palanti has learned a lot from him, and of course suffered enough.

Her eyes were still tingling, her arms were twisted alive, and at least four ribs were broken in her chest, but Palanti still struggled to raise her head, trying to feel the battle of the Silver Tier, the most valuable experience she wanted to gain. However, the severe injuries tormented her nerves, causing her consciousness to blur.

Before she finally lost consciousness, Palanti vaguely felt a pair of strong arms hug her, and the warm and familiar chest made her let go of the last shred of her vigilance and fall into a coma.

When she came to her senses again, she found herself lying flat in the soft futon, and it was still dark in front of her.

"If I were you, I wouldn't move, the effect of the anesthetic would soon pass, and you would be better when the time came. El's hateful voice suddenly remembered in his ears, and it sounded like a bit of gnashing of teeth.

"Big ...... Adult...... "Palanti, who was distraught, tried to speak, but found that her voice was like a leaky skin, and she could only make a hoarse sound, which was the price she paid for launching the lion's roar with all her might.

A pair of hands lifted Palanti's head and poured a spoonful of cold potion into her mouth. Although the smell is very pungent, the effect is immediate. Palanti coughed softly twice, and found that his throat was much more comfortable.

"Don't open your eyes, I've just put medicine on your face, and the bandage hasn't been removed yet. Luo Lana's voice sounded in the other ear, and after a rare moment, she returned to her true colors and chuckled: "Fortunately, it's just a flesh wound, and the lime powder is also easy to handle." If you get the magical wounds on Miss Lanstadt's face, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover for the rest of my life. ”

"Forget it if you can't recover, doesn't you say that the scar is a soldier's medal?" Ellen said with a snort.

"Ah, the face is a girl's life, and it's annoying for you to talk like this. Lolana put the stiff Palanti back on the pillow and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone.

"This guy is a girl, right?" said Elban, who stretched out his hand and tapped Palanti's forehead, and said in a cold voice, "This time we lost nineteen brothers and hundreds were wounded to save you. Sergeant Palanti, I would like to hear your explanation. ”

"Your Excellency...... I...... I was mistakenly captured by robbers as a civilian. Palanti subconsciously shrunk her neck and awkwardly argued.

"If you were there at the time, you could have done it when the robbers rushed in, right?" El clasped his hands and sneered, "Don't tell me that you were planning to cast a long line to catch a big fish, and you don't have such a high IQ level." ”

"I ...... I was just...... Ahem, ahemβ€”" Before she could finish her sentence, she couldn't help but cough violently. The spoonful of potion just now only temporarily relieved her sore throat, but did not completely cure it. Under El's questioning, Palanti panicked, and her voice became hoarse again.

"Well, she hasn't recovered yet, even if you want to discipline her, save it for later. Lolana glared at El reproachfully, and took the glass of water to feed Palanti.

"This is not a problem that can be solved by training her in two sentences, this matter is not over, she has to give an explanation to the sacrificed brother. El looked at Palanti's flushed face, couldn't help but pout, put down a hard sentence and got up and walked out.

After El left, there was a sudden silence in the carriage. Palanti drank a small sip of warm water with great effort, and when she heard Lolana's meaningful low laughter, she couldn't help but blush, and subconsciously turned her head away.

"Why don't you tell El the truth?" Lolana put Palanti's head on her lap, stroked her ponytail, and said with a smile: "When encountering a large-scale robber attack, disguise yourself, use love potions to confuse the robbers, pretend to be robbed, and spy on the mastermind behind the other party...... These were all my encouragements. ”

"You're not wrong, Miss Lorana, it's my mistake. Palanti said frustratedly: "When I perceive the strength of the other party, I should leave immediately, because I am bent on going my own way, wanting to increase my combat experience and force my potential in the face of life and death tests...... But I didn't expect it to be like this. ”

"It's a bit unexpected, but it'...... That's what I'm trying to do. Lolana leaned into Palanti's ear and whispered.

"Huh, what are you talking about?" the eldest lady's sudden change of attitude made Palanti not react for a moment, and couldn't help but ask in a daze.

"I've asked you to take on this kind of task alone, but the purpose is to let you get a real grind. Lolana looked at Palanti, who was covered in bandages, and sighed faintly.

"I know your desire is to grow up as quickly as possible, right? Although El usually trusts you, he still subconsciously treats you as a girl, not a warrior. Once there is real danger, he is still used to going up on top of it himself, and he will not leave you a chance to exercise. ”

Palanti's mouth was half-open, completely unsure of how to react, as Lolana hit the nail on the head with a pinpoint on the secret in her heart. She has been stuffy in her stomach for these things, and she has never told anyone, and now she is suddenly exposed, and she doesn't know what to do for a while.

"That guy is an indiscriminate good person, he is too accommodating to women, and sooner or later he will suffer a big loss. A strange look flashed across Lolana's face, and then she retracted and continued, "For the overall interests of the exile team, as well as the difficulties that may be encountered in the future, the combat power of the silver rank is never too much. And in the army, only you have the best hope of progressing. If you can create an opportunity for this kind of grinding, the cost of casualties for ordinary fighters is not unacceptable. ”

"If I sacrifice everyone's lives for no reason because of my willfulness, then I would rather not have this opportunity. Palanti exclaimed stubbornly, coughing again because her voice was too high.

"You don't have to if you want to blame yourself, because we didn't fail this time. Lolana gently pressed her body and patiently explained:

"Because you entangled Blackbeard so that he could not be distracted and command the battle, our troops crushed all the bandits who were lying in ambush on the mountain, and Blackbeard himself was captured by El. If it weren't for your troubled trouble, even if the cavalry unit escaped Blackbeard's ambush this time, they would still be calculated by him on the rest of the journey, and with the size of his banded thieves, it would easily bring us irreparable damage. ”

"Yes...... Is that so?" if Palanti had been able to open his eyes, he would have been very confused at the moment. She never thought it would end like this.

"So that guy is just angry with you, but it's actually another way of caring. Luo Lana smiled, and a standard business smile slowly appeared on her face, (go read om) (Jiangsu Net)
