Chapter 113: Afterglow

"Hey! Turtle dove! ”

When Lorzen appeared in front of the turtledove, the turtledove almost didn't recognize her.

He still remembered the first time he saw Loczen, at that time, wearing a red dress, colorful feathers and shining silver ornaments on the top of his head, and his snow-white neck suddenly ignited the fire in the turtledove's heart.

This time, the turtledove returned from a big victory, just like the last time.

Rotzen, on the other hand, looked like he had just come out of the ash heap.

It can be seen that she has actually been dressed up.

She may have cleaned her hair with her sleeves, or she may have scrubbed her cheeks with dew......

However, the feathers on her head were gone, and the shiny silver ornaments were gone.

She had several fresh scars on her face, blood-stained brown bandages on her shoulders, a large hole in her boots on her feet, and black toes clutched tightly into the mud.

"Hey, turtledove!" Loczen smiled at the turtledove - two front teeth were missing!

"Hey, Lorzen!" The turtledove squinted hard, and a smile was on his face.

"You're back?"

"Well, how are you doing at home?" The turtledove stepped forward and took her hand.

Roczen's body stiffened, and he tried hard to break free from the turtledove's grasp, but he was held tightly by the turtledove.

"You won?" Lotzen asked.

This is, of course, a piece of nonsense.

Behind the turtledove, there is a crowd of black people, spread over the entire mountain range. Fifteen dollars had already found a place for them, but they had to build their own houses and camps.

Just as Luo Cen came up, the sound of cutting down trees sounded in the mountain forest behind him.

"Of course I won!" Turtledove took her by the hand and walked towards the camp, saying as she went, "I have not only defeated two white armies, but also robbed their estates and rescued more than 10,000 Indian refugees. You see, our tribe will be even stronger in the future! ”

"You're amazing, turtledove! From the first time I saw you, I knew that you would be a hero of the world, and I—no, all Indians, would be grateful to you, turtledove! ”

"Is it okay at home?" This is the second time the turtledove has asked.

Then they turned around a mountain forest and came across their camp.

The camp was charred and black, there were a few fires that had not yet had time to be extinguished, the walls had collapsed, and there were faint cries from inside the camp.

Although when he saw Luo Zen, Turtledove already had a faint premonition in his heart, but when he really saw this scene, his heart suddenly ached.

Loczen stopped.

"I'm sorry, turtledove, I didn't—I didn't take a fancy to it—" said Lotzen, breaking free of the turtledove's hand, bowing his head.

"It's ...... What's going on? The turtledove closed his eyes in agony, and when he opened them again, he still found the charred camp and the billowing smoke.

"On the third day after you left, the camp was attacked, and three tribes attacked us—" Lotzen whispered.

For this battle, the turtledove took away most of the young and strong people in the tribe, leaving only a group of old and weak women and children to Luozen.

Roczen had not yet had time to elaborate on the intensity of the attack on the camp, but the charred houses, the crumbling walls, and the corpses that had fallen to the ground all spoke of how fierce the battle had been during the time that the turtledove had left.

It is a home guarded by only a group of old and weak women and children.

"I'm sorry, Ikaruga ......"

Ikaruga put his hand tightly around Loczen's shoulders and took her into his arms.

"It's alright, Lorzen! It's okay! You see, the Smoke Man has already taken someone to avenge you! ”

Not far away, the smoke man with a group of men and horses was chasing along the trail of the enemy's escape.

"I'm ......", Lorzen was hugged tightly by the turtledove, a little out of breath. She lifted her sleeve and wiped her cheek, but quickly lowered it. The wound on her face hurt so much that she didn't dare to exert herself.

She had won victory after victory with her face, but from now on, she no longer had this weapon.

"Don't be afraid, Lotzen, I'm back! The nightmare is over, it's all over! Turtledove said.

The camp ahead rang out with the sound of parrots yelling and the angry roar of Peso.

"I ...... I went after them, and they hadn't gone far—", said Roczen in a panic.

She lowered her head and tried to leave the turtledove, but was pulled back by the turtledove.

"I'm back, Rotzen! It's good that home is still there, and you're still there! If the house is destroyed, it can be rebuilt, and if the money is lost, it can be recovered. As long as the person is still there, it's no big deal! ”

Roczen still had his head bowed.

The turtledove pinched her chin and lifted her cheek.

"Come, laugh, Roczen!"

The turtledove picked her up horizontally, and despite her panicked struggles, carried her into the ruins of a house that was still smoking.

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

At this time, Luo Cen must have a thousand words to say, right?

Turtledove knows.

'You don't have to say anything, I know everything!' ’

……

In the conference room of the command post on the El Paso West Line, Captain Peter Brooke is gushing about a wonderful blueprint for everyone!

"I know that everyone has been wronged all these years! Old Crockett is not pulling out a dime, so that everyone's life is also miserable haha! ”

"However, from now on, although everyone still belongs to El Paso in name, everyone is paid by the Alamo Legion, and the backer behind it is Sam Houston, who wants money and money, and guns and guns!"

"I promise that in a few more years, everyone here will be able to buy a few hundred acres of land. When the time comes, whether you choose to continue to lead the troops to fight, or choose to retire to become a manor owner, you can do it! ”

"The Apache have been driven away, and the vast swath of land left behind is ownerless. Occupy it as you please! ”

"If you want to do something bigger, that's not a problem at all. Let me tell you a secret, in Mexico to the south, the federal army is already preparing—"

Just then, a communications soldier hurriedly pushed the door in, interrupting Brooke's excited speech.

Ignoring Brooke's imminent enraged face, he handed over a crumpled battle report.

Brooke was about to put the battle report aside, when the communications soldier leaned close to Brooke's ear and whispered a few words.

"What?" Brooke screamed.

Leaned back and leaned against the wall.

With trembling hands, he picked up the battle report, and quickly swept it, and his fingers began to tremble.

He couldn't believe it, and looked at it again from beginning to end.

Even he didn't realize that his body had collapsed against the wall like soft mud.

"This ...... No way! How can it be? The battle report is fake! Fake! ”

Brooke sat on the ground and yelled at the heralds.

"Whose report is it? Christopher? Or Morning? I'm going to kill him! Kill him! ”

"Check again! Check it out again! ”

"Go! Go ahead! ”

Brooke shouted.

From the time the communications soldier broke into the conference room, it was only two minutes at most—

There were uninvited guests outside the door again.

Two gentlemen, dressed in neat suits and beautiful bow ties, came up to Brooke, who was still angry, and shook a document that still smelled of ink in front of his eyes.

“DIA! Captain Brooke, please cooperate with our investigation and come with us! ”
