Chapter 114: The Past
"Ten years ago, Lord Pross went out with his former head of the family, and before leaving, he entrusted his wife and daughter to the care of the Dark Guard, our Black Knight. Later, they were accidentally plotted. The previous head of the family died in an assassination, and several adults and the little master disappeared. During that time, Istalon was in turmoil, and his wife was so worried that he could not afford to be ill again. By the time Lord Pross returned with his little master, Madame had already died, leaving only the still ignorant Palanti. ”
"To tell the truth that shouldn't be said, in fact, Lord Pros doesn't take care of children, and with a lot of official duties, he basically hasn't disciplined her much. Palanti has lived in the barracks since she was a child, and the veterans raised her with a handful of and urine, she is a little lady with status, everyone is spoiled like a baby, and they don't want her to dance with knives and guns, but I didn't expect this child to steal a skill. ”
"Lord Shet is the kind of character who is not afraid of big things when he sees the excitement, and secretly gives her some messy things. So you can see her fighting style is like a mix of Lord Pros and Master Shet......"
Timmy, the black knight who had been temporarily promoted to vice-captain, sat next to El, babbling and reaching out to flick the bonfire, stealing a glance at the chief's face.
"What are you talking to me about this? El Qiang held back the psychological gossip, and asked expressionlessly: "You don't care about the brothers who died in battle, what else do I care?" ”
As he said this, his gaze involuntarily moved to the petite figure in the distance. Palanti was gathering the bodies of the war dead with the others. According to the custom of the Isttalon army, the surviving soldiers were to bring the bodies of their comrades who had died in battle back to their hometowns. Now it is necessary to deal with and conceal the corpses so that they are not eaten by the wild beasts of the mountain forest, and when the battle is over, the knights will return to the place, take the corpses of their companions, and call their souls home.
Lori Knight had already secretly cried once, her big eyes were still red like rabbits, but the movements of her hands did not slow down by half a minute, and the expression on her face was a little sad, but it was still firm.
"I've said it's a long story. These stories are just to show you that Palanti isn't the disobedient bad boy you think you are. Timmy shook his head, frustrated by Eyre's pretending to be serious.
"But how do I think your main point is that she has a good father?" El asked, touching his chin, "and...... Why father? I thought she was GLP's sister, Lord GLP doesn't look that old, how old is he?"
"That...... Ahaha, Lord Pross was the one back then, I heard that the boy was ...... amorous" Timmy's face changed and he smiled awkwardly: "Let's talk about Palanti, don't you wonder why we are so indulgent to her?"
"No, no, no, you better tell me the age of Lord Pross first, I think he seems to be about twenty-six or seventeen years old, how old was he ten years ago?" From Antonio to GLP, Ixtalon's big characters are all like "winners in life" like the protagonists of the novel, and they are simply scum compared to them.
"Anyway...... The child was even more gifted in combat than her father, and her instincts were sharp. Before that, when we went on a mission, many times it was her intuition that turned the difference between victory and defeat. Timmy stiffly changed the subject, bringing up Palanti again.
"So you're actually conniving at her habits?" El pressed his curiosity, turning his attention back to Palanti.
"You can't say that, sir. To say something you don't like to hear, compared to a temporary commander like you, everyone trusts that child's instincts more, after all, every time you look back afterwards, you will find that her choice was not wrong. Timmy shrugged, a little helpless, "Just like this time, your order was actually to have her mend the knife, but she found her target a little sooner than you expected." As a result, she doesn't really disobey your orders. ”
"I understand, in fact, not only you, but even she has no confidence in me, so nominally let me command, but in fact she is in charge. El sighed and glared at Timmy with an unkind face, "Maybe we should all be glad that the magician is an idiot, if it were Miss Tiana, who was placed under house arrest by you, she could play a hundred and eight tricks on you." ”
Although she has not learned Tiana's true methods, El knows her original black history, and was called the "Snake of Light" by the Cursed Sect, and jointly offered bounties in the northern counties, and the bounty even went straight to Leon, the boss of the Sisiary thieves' group, such a fierce character's skills can be imagined. Not to mention that after her state recovered, her strength reached the silver rank and accepted the inheritance of a great magician......
With the strength she is showing on her face now, if it weren't for the Silver Crusade Katyusha pressing the formation, how would those kittens and dogs in the supervision force dare to be presumptuous in front of her. After being really put under house arrest, he had to worship like his aunt and grandmother, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
In contrast, Er's side is simply too stubborn, just because he is usually too low-key and cautious, and now not only does the girl he likes lie in the arms of other men, but he also has to lead a vote of disobedient stupid soldiers over the mountains and mountains in the middle of the night. When he thought of this, he felt that his life was really a tragedy.
"I'm sorry, sir, it's my fault for not following orders, I'll go to the Judge Advocate General's Office when I get back. After handling the body, Palanti wiped his hands and walked over to El and whispered. After a period of buffering, she had already controlled her emotions, and her face regained the calmness that a soldier should have.
"Sir, I found the map on the mage, and this information should not have been passed on to anyone else, but out of an abundance of caution, I suggest that you proceed, preferably to contact our hunter brigade and join them. ”
"How far are we from them?" El asked without asking for a map.
"Three days. Palanti glanced at the map in his hand and estimated.
"Three days, did you bring supplies?" El glared at her angrily. "Even if you don't starve to death, don't forget that we're not far from those bugs. ”
"The Ground Legion has already shrunk its defenses on all fronts, and has not shown any intention to attack for the time being. As for the problems left behind in Red Rock Ridge, the lord has left a special army to be in charge. Palanti pinched the map and told all kinds of information: "According to the timetable that Lord Pros has mastered, our hunter brigade is also on the way back, if nothing else, we can meet at the White Falcon post in the north tomorrow." ”
"Is there a force stationed at the White Falcon outpost?" El listened carefully to Palanti's report, trying not to miss a single detail.
"There is a formation of thirty men in half a squad, and the shooter brigade may have some men left at the outpost. ”
"Where do you think the thieves are going?" El asked again.
"They are leaderless and have suffered heavy losses, and if they don't have other reinforcements, they won't dare to entangle us anymore. Timmy, who was next to him, chimed in, "But if you leave them alone, the nearby village will probably be out of luck." ”
"Where is the nearest village?"
"Falcon Outpost!" Timmy and Palanti said in unison, glaring at each other.
"They're not going to be idiots looking for trouble...... El shook his head, he knew it was wishful thinking, the thieves weren't familiar with Istalen's military presence in the area, but they were good at finding places where people gathered, which was a basic skill for killing people and setting fires. If they were really stupid enough to crash into it, they would save themselves a lot of effort. But if you continue to move forward, you will definitely not have time to go back before dawn tomorrow, and I don't know if Senior Sister Lolana has been ruined by the lord, and what is Master Stephen's expression when he finds out that he is missing......
Putting these thoughts behind him for a moment, El stood up and patted Palanti on the shoulder and said, "Let's rest, let's go after dawn." ”
