Chapter 90: No More Brothers
Early the next morning, Crenzo left the hotel with the Aries team, leaving only a message to Alonso and his wife at the hotel reception, without even saying goodbye.
When the Alonso and his wife learned that the Aries team had left in such a hurry, they knew that Crenzo must have something unspeakable to hide, and they had no choice but to go.
After leaving the hotel, the team members all walked on the snowy road without saying a word with gloomy faces.
In the sky, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, there are almost no pedestrians on the road, even the convoy transporting supplies around the town has stopped, the weather has been extremely bad, only a dozen miles away from Fenglin Town, the snowflakes are so dense that even the road can not be seen clearly, Crenzo can only order the team to camp and rest, wait for the weather to improve before hurrying.
When they entered the woods beside the road, the snow was much lighter because of the foliage, and they sat around the campfire, silent.
Every now and then, the members of the squad stood up and moved around the campfire, looking up at the gloomy sky and cursing the damn weather.
Crenzo's mood was as dreary as the bad weather.
Years of experience have taught Krenzo that the Aries squad is finished. Soon it will fall apart. When people's hearts are scattered, even the God of Light has no choice.
When Crenzo was still young and prosperous, he was also full of expectations for the future, always thinking that he could also be among those famous mercenary legends, so many years have passed, he has gone from a hot-blooded boy to today, the poetry and distance in his heart have long been consumed by the cruel reality, and all he gained was full of exhaustion and helplessness.
It's hard to imagine how those legendary mercenary teams on the mainland came step by step, Crenzo thought to himself.
A hand holding a steaming cup of coffee was handed to him, Crenzo looked up, only to see Alexei looking at him, Crenzo took it, Alexei said: "Captain, I was impulsive yesterday, but I don't have a problem with you, I just want to get a little more benefit for our team." ”
Crenzo nodded slightly, but didn't say anything.
He knew in his heart that this was just Alexei's cover-up, and that the Aries team would never go back to the way it was.
In the past, when Alexei's brother was in the team, as his deputy, he helped manage the team, and he was busy planning the specific affairs of the Aries team, and he communicated too little about the inner thoughts of the team members.
After Alexei's brother died in battle, Alexei wanted to take over his brother's position, but he promoted Jimmy to be the vice-captain, which is estimated to have also made Alexei dissatisfied.
But all this he did was not selfish, including coming to Maple Grove Town this time, completely for the development of the Aries team.
But now it's too late to do anything, and once the greed in people's hearts is out of the cage, it can't be easily taken back.
The hard-won items not only did not bring cohesion and improvement to the team, but made the team immediately face a situation of collapse.
Crenzo had heard such a scene from countless mercenary stories, and an uncertain object, without knowing whether it contained wealth or danger, had already shown its ugly and greedy human nature nakedly.
As soon as the brother's sword comes out, there will be no more brothers! The famous taunt was in front of me again, only this time it was his turn.
Looking up at the sky, Crenzo said, "I'll rest here today." The team members answered, and they all got busy.
Neo walked around the surrounding towns and began to rush back, just as it was getting dark and snow was falling, but this did not affect the speed of Neo and Tina, and the two rode the snow through the night to make their way.
Little Victor had just recovered from his injuries and was full of energy, so he jumped out of the bamboo basket and jumped happily, leaving strings of plum blossoms on the thick snow.
After the Aries team had dinner, everyone continued to sit around the campfire in a daze, Alexei made coffee and handed it to everyone one by one.
Krenzo said, "Let's rest early. ”
Munster, another member of the team, also looked at Krenzo and said, "Captain, you should rest early, too." With that, he bowed his head and walked to his tent.
The hot coffee was just right, dispelling a lot of chills, and Crenzo thought about those annoying thoughts, sipping the coffee in his hand one after another, and many thoughts came up, making Crenzo even more annoyed.
Crenzo only felt hot all over his body, and before he could think about it, he tore open his chest and let the cold snowflakes fall on his hot chest.
Far from alleviating the heat and dryness of his body, the meridians of his whole body felt a sharp pain like a fire at this time, and there was a roar in his ears, only to hear Jeffrey scream, rolling out of the tent next to him, shouting: "Alexey, you are so ruthless, you poisoned the coffee!" ”
