Chapter 147: Drinking to drown sorrows

Immediately after being officially recognized by the lord, El was promoted directly from an unidentified temporary officer to a full-fledged general, but for the time being, he only had the mixed force that had been thrown to the north to fight the bugs. The watchdog was killed and wounded, and their army was still in a state of disorganized chaos.

It took the quartermaster only ten minutes to prepare a complete set of outfits for him, including letters of appointment, swords, gold-rimmed cloaks, rank badges, and other identification items, most of which were taken from the ground and taken directly from the body of the deceased, and were covered with dust and blood.

The Istaron military had an ancient tradition of respecting the dignity of the war dead, but at this time the desecration of the dead was no longer a problem, and the living had to face even more terrible troubles, so they had to keep things simple.

El had a rank badge on his chest and one hidden in his arms. It didn't matter what else was, but this silver badge was not only the most obvious sign of status, it was also a magical item tailored to each general. Compared to other appointments and the like, only this badge is recognized, or rather recognizable, from the nobility to the commoners.

For example, the badge on his chest, which originally belonged to Anderson, has a passive support magic of "Morale Boost" attached, while the other badge belonging to GLP has "Night Stealth", which can increase the speed of the troops' night marches, and is full of personal characteristics.

From the time he wore this badge, he really entered the upper class class, and he can be called a real "adult".

But in this ghost place where you can't see the sun tomorrow, even if you are called His Majesty, it is of little practical significance. El didn't plan to work for the White Lion family in his heart, and naturally he didn't care about these details.

However, Prolos's badge was supposed to be left as a memento for Palanti, and he put it away with Antonio's permission.

Also promoted is the magician Tiana, as the only silver-rank spellcaster who is still capable of fighting in Istalen, she has been appointed as the vice president of the public academy and the enshrined mage of the White Lion family, with all the rights that Master Ampere once had, and can use almost half of Istalen's resources and power.

But before that, the girl had already torn her face with Antonio, and staying here was just out of morality. After receiving the appointment, she didn't show any joy, and after receiving the appointment letter, she just nodded and turned to leave, leaving El alone to serve the little young master of the White Lion family.

Antonio's mental state was obviously unstable, no matter how mature he was, he was still a teenager under the age of fifteen, and the responsibility of Istalon was already a bit overwhelming for him, and the successive blows of the day made him even worse, making him so emaciated that he almost collapsed. ใ€Starterใ€‘

To El's surprise, the boy gritted his teeth and survived the blow, and when he received the information that the undead and the earthwalkers were being attacked from both sides, he quickly calmed down. Not only did he not panic, but he began to give orders in an orderly manner.

The first of these orders was to give a speech in ten minutes to all the citizens of Istalen.

Walking out of the warehouse, which had been used as an emergency relief site, the fresh air immediately dispelled the pungent smell of the potion. El looked around, and soon found Katyusha's figure. The latter was crouching in the ruins of a tavern, struggling to find all the food he could eat, even if it was covered in dirt and dust. She had eaten up a full five servings of dry food, but she still looked hungry.

The Templars, who are the goddess of life, can use divine magic to heal their injuries, but that can also cause a huge drain on the body. Although it is not known what kind of battle Katyusha experienced in Masaien, it is also possible to imagine the horror of the undead when she is reduced to the present starvation.

"Any more wine?" El asked, walking over to the bar.

Katyusha was in no mood to speak, and randomly pulled out two bottles of suspicious liquid without any labels from the wine cabinet, and slammed them on the bar. She didn't bother to pay attention to the other people's faces, opened one of the bottles of wine by herself, looked up and poured it down halfway, stopping and burping without any image.

"Flaming agave?" After all, she also grew up in a tavern, and El could tell by just smelling the smell of wine she exhaled, this is a well-known high-quality spirit in the north, no matter which tavern it is treasured by the owner, and it is only available to regular customers who know the roots.

However, the owner of this tavern is unlikely to have a chance to continue selling to customers, and there is no tavern to be found in this ruin except for the bar, and even the owner himself may sleep under the ruins forever.

"Get me a bottle too. Antonio said as he picked up a slightly fuller chair and sat down beside Eyre.

El looked at him silently, uncorked the other bottle, took a broken glass, poured a small half of tequila, and handed it to Antonio.

Antonio was stunned with his wine glass, following Katyusha's example, tilted his head and closed his eyes to drink it dry, then spurted two meters away with a poof, coughing desperately.

"You're a pure man. El gave Antonio a thumbs up, then poured himself a small glass and drank it slowly. The one who was holding the wine bottle next to him and poured it directly was a princess who resisted the earth, and the Silver Crusader soldier who fought with the undead for a day and a night, even if he drank poison, it might not be fine, as a normal person, he didn't have the courage to imitate.

The three people with different thoughts sighed in unison, glanced at each other, and found that the stiff atmosphere suddenly eased after the other party was drinking to drown their sorrows.

"What the hell is going on with Sister Maryvian?" asked Katyusha, putting down her bottle, and asked bluntly.

"Ahem...... I really don't know about this...... A little more. Antonio covered her mouth and coughed as she pushed the glass towards El, her face flushed from choking: "Whether she was framed by design or concealed the truth by herself, the problem has been solved for the time being, isn't it...... I'd like to know, what's going on with the Earthwalkers?"

"It should be another tribe's bug, much more ferocious than His Highness Rangalia's troops. El shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't know about this either: "I heard a god stick say that a volcano has erupted underground, and the earthwalkers are also fighting with each other, so it can't be that Langalia's rivals are chasing them to the ground, right?"

El who didn't know that he had almost guessed the answer also had his own doubts, and he turned his head to look at Katyusha: "I have dealt with the Cursed Sect in Queensland with Tiana, and I still know a little bit about their tricks, what about the army of the undead that you saw?"

It's no wonder that El was puzzled, and he had the impression that the Cursed Sect's neurotics were nothing more than clowns. With Tiana's strength at that time, she was still able to toss with them in the northern counties for three months, so you can imagine how unfortunate those people were.

If those men were able to assemble an army of the undead in such a short period of time that even Katyusha could not do anything about, it would be better to convince El that the pigs would come up to the tree.

"The Cursed Sect's minions aren't to be feared, but the evil gods standing behind them are not that simple. Katyusha shook her head, with a solemn and serious expression on her face: "I have encountered many high-level undead, and they are definitely not the products of this plague. Maybe they dug up some ancient tomb...... Are there any ancient ruins around here? Forget it, I didn't ask. โ€

She was about to ask this question, but suddenly it occurred to her that the Temple of Life had come to Isttalon to obtain rare ores excavated from ancient ruins......

"What if you know at this time?" Antonio carefully drank the flaming tequila from his glass, a sickly flush appearing on his pale face. He exhaled slowly, slapped his face, and regained his spirits.

"Now, El, I remember when Tiana owed Marivian a favor for you......"

"Don't mention it, okay. Er rolled his eyes in pain, because of this black history of gossip, he had already labeled "soft rice" in the eyes of everyone in the army. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some of them are envious, jealous and hateful, but this kind of paranoid vision makes El feel a lot of pressure.

"I can see that the tacit understanding between the two of you is very enviable. Antonio shook his glass and laughed, "Although she promised me that she would marry me if I could stop the plague from spreading, but in fact the person she really likes is you, right? โ€

"No, no, no, you're mistaken, she's the kind of woman who can do what she says. El imagined that kind of scene for a moment, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching: "And isn't her face more terrifying when it is tangled now?"

As soon as the topic of women was brought to the table, the two men who were drinking immediately drew closer to each other. Especially for men who can't wait for tomorrow's sun, the topic is naturally taboo.

"She must have been very charming before she was disfigured. Antonio took another sip of wine, an ambiguous expression on his face.

"It's not just charming, it's a disaster for the country and the people, and to tell you the truth, that Holy Sister really can't compare to her boobs!" Ell sighed with a wicked smile, and Katyusha snorted coldly and crushed the wine bottle in her hand.

"Have you seen her when she wasn't disfigured?" Antonio cried out in jealousy, and he suddenly slapped his head, "By the way, you all escaped together...... Tell me the truth, she's really a Lanstadt girl, I can't have never heard of it......

"There's a lot more you haven't heard. El pouted and refilled his underage boss: "Don't have unrealistic illusions about that guy, do you know how she got the wound on her face......"

"Hello-" The magician girl on the other side of the city sneezed hard. (Go read OM) (Jiangsu.com)
