III. The Fall of the Lion King Chapter 82 Harold
"Yes, I am the number one marksman in the Red Pavilion, known as the Finks of a hundred shots!"
Finks was already holding his breath, and at this moment, he completely ignored the fact that he was in the enemy camp, and shouted loudly.
As soon as her words fell, there was a sound of hula footsteps around her, and the black-pressed soldiers immediately surrounded her. Shields, short knives, spears, bows and arrows, a closed encirclement is set one by one, and several soul magicians have already ignited soul flames at this moment.
Bu smiled and glanced sideways at Finks: the poor child hid behind him like a frightened bird, looking around in trepidation. I wonder if she regrets not being able to control her temper now?
Look again at the army that surrounded them. The number of this team is not large, only more than 100 people. But the array is neat and orderly, and the standing positions are clearly hierarchical. Obviously, after the boss went crazy and committed suicide, many soldiers have dispersed in a hurry, but these soldiers seem to be completely different.
"Please wait a little longer," Harold saluted slightly, "I've sent someone back to check, and I'll be back in a moment." ”
"Verification?" Finks looked at him suspiciously, "You're going to rush back to Ice Wolf Castle to check if Lady Feather Spirit is dead, so how many days do we have to wait?" ”
"Mr. Harold is a general, he can't be so stupid." Bu smiled and said lightly, "He wants to confirm that I picked up the letter, or killed those cavalrymen to rob it." ”
"The warriors of the Red Pavilion are really bold and intelligent." Harold laughed, "I'm sure you're not the murderers of Tyler's team. But they are my comrades-in-arms and my brothers, and I have to give an explanation to the other brothers. ”
"There are not many nobles who treat soldiers as brothers." Without smiling, he looked at the knight in front of him with interest.
Harold frowned and sneered: "Don't talk to me about the nobility, my brothers and I were so reluctant that we were private soldiers in Ice Wolf Castle, and we were cannon fodder for the nobles." Don't look at us wearing this imperial cloak, in fact, our status is not even as good as the shield guards in the city. ”
As he spoke, he lifted his cloak, and at this time, he vaguely saw that there were 5 gold edges embroidered on the back.
Seeing that he was about to talk to the knight, Finks couldn't help but interject, "Then how long are we going to wait?" ”
"There's the sound of chocobos running, coming back." Bu smiled and agreed casually.
Harold was a little surprised by such an astonishing sense of hearing, and looked up at the lookout to see that his men had indeed raised a green letter flag.
A chocobo rushed to the front, and the cavalry panted and reported, "Most of the brothers died from the Shadow Fire, and there are some corpses of demon soldiers, and a shadow demon is dead. ”
Harold looked approvingly, clapped his hands, and the soldiers lowered their weapons at the same time, "You can actually defeat a high-level demon like the Shadow Demon, are you interested in joining my legion to do it together?" ”
Bu smiled and glanced at him: "What do you want to do?" ”
Harold smiled and said, "Of course I'm going to continue to be a private soldier!" Now that the demons have invaded the two countries of ice and snow and wild sand, we can go to the Black Steel Empire, where there are many rich and death-scared lords! Believe me, I will be able to live a happy life with Harold. ”
"You really think they're brothers." Bu smiled at his face and said slowly, "I have a question for you to think about: If it were fifty years from now, what kind of life would you and your brothers live?" ”
"Fifty years later, haha, I've ...... by then" Harold had a hearty smile on his face, but it suddenly slowly melted at this moment. He seemed to see him in the twilight of the white-haired hero, dragging his brothers around to make a living.
It's not that he didn't think about this, he just kept anesthetizing himself with timely pleasure. When the wine in the glass couldn't hide the sorrow in his heart, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a few times: "Then what will happen to you?" ”
"We will build a country where all beings are equal." Buxiao replied decisively, "Everyone has something to eat, live and work in peace and contentment, and there is no discrimination and oppression." ”
Harold laughed dumbly, "How is this possible?" ”
"Of course it is." Buxiao patted Finks on the shoulder, "I have a lot of siblings too, and I have it." ”
"Listen to this, you are simply the leader of the Red Pavilion." Harold barely managed to squeeze out a smile, as if thinking it was a joke.
"Indeed." Finks sighed, "This boring man is the current hall owner, and he doesn't laugh at adults. ”
This was completely unexpected, who would have thought that the leader of the Red Pavilion wanted by the Ice and Snow Empire would go to the military camp of Ice Wolf Castle alone?
At this moment, he had a little admiration in his heart, and turned around and ordered someone to bring a two-wheeled carriage, "I'm very sorry for delaying the trip of the two of you today." This was originally Childe's chariot, so I'll use it as a favor. He said with a deep knightly deceit.
"Thank you." Bu Xiao took out a black soul stone and threw it to Harold, "If you need it in the future, you can use this to find me." ”
Seeing the smiling chariot flying away, a soldier whispered beside him, "Boss, why don't you catch them and go back to receive the reward?" ”
"How can you be more stupid than Moretto?" Harold slapped his helmet hard, "He can even kill the Shadow Fiend, do you really think you can beat him?" ”
The soldier covered his head and asked aggrievedly, "Then what should we do now?" ”
"Don't worry," Harold patted his chest, "Big brother has already explored the road, there is a Gamo clan in Gangdu who is very rich, and one of them, General Ferrett, is going to go on an expedition recently, and I have already negotiated with his adjutant Werther." I'm sure I'll be able to live a good life over there! ”
The soldiers cheered in unison, and Harold returned to his usual bold smile.
For a moment, something seemed to tick through his heart. He picked up the black soul stone and looked at it carefully a few times, and finally put it in his pocket.
The chariot ran across the desert, creaking between the axles.
Buxiao sat in the front row driving the two chocobos, and thought to himself: he had wanted to recruit Moretto's army to help attack the Heather, but now it had proved to be just a pipe dream. Now it's really just him and Finks rushing to solve the crisis in Heatherburg, are his hole cards really enough?
He thought of the proprietress again. Presumably she also knew the danger of Chishui Bay, but she still resolutely went. That sensual woman, just like she went to assassinate "Ironbeard" back then. All she knew was that it was a "saint" duty, and she had to go.
And now, Chishui Bay, a safe haven, has become the most difficult bone to gnaw in front of not smiling. The two earthen forts that used to block the Wild Sand Empire and the Black Steel Empire have now become his biggest headaches.
"I hope those two earthen cities haven't fallen." Not smiling muttered.
"When! Correct! No! Yes! Finks sat in the back and protested loudly, and the sudden sound frightened the two chocobos in front of them into staggering, "How can we have our 'Dune Five' in Heather Castle!" ”
Don't laugh knowing Finks's temper, and leave her aside and ignore her. And Finks has already entered the self-congratulatory mode: "Our Dune Five Heroes are the strongest in Chishui Bay!" It's not me bragging, Brother Filip's archery skills are amazing, he can shoot an arrow into the eye of a shark, you listen to me......"
Dune Five......
When the proprietress took them in, they were still five children wandering outside Chishui Bay. In the blink of an eye, even the youngest Finks had grown into a good fighter.
His mind drifted back to the past, it was the first time he had stepped into Chishui Bay, and it was also the first time he had seen the proprietress who was still called a saint in the dim cabin.
Her eyes were as bright and unblemished as the moon on the sea, exuding serenity and kindness. On that day, she inherited the Red Pavilion, and she vowed to do everything she could to lead everyone to the legendary Red Pavilion Paradise. Legend has it that the Saintess of the Sea will bring the treasures of Chishui Bay, and everyone thinks that good days are coming.
Except not laughing.
He said just one word and left.
"Stupid."
On that day, a man with a face full of vicissitudes chased him for thirty miles on an alpaca, just to ask him what he meant.
At that time, he was arrogant and mean-spirited: "It is stupid to appoint a man who knows neither strategy nor politics; It's stupid to look for treasure in the Red Water Bay ruled by Ironbeard; It's stupid to pin the future on a legend. But the stupidest thing is that none of the so-called patriarchs can see how stupid this is, and this is stupid. ”
"Maybe you're right." The man wasn't angry, he just looked so lonely, "But I have nothing to do but gamble." ”
This vicissitudes of life is the former owner Martin.
Later, it was rumored that the Red Pavilion had confronted the Ironbeard Pirates at Chishui Bay, but was defeated in less than a day, and hundreds of people were hanged from their masts.
A few days later, there were rumors that Ironbeard married the Saintess of the Sea, and a large number of Red Pavilion assassins were captured at the wedding, and the kind-hearted Saintess was also tragically poisoned by Ironbeard, not only ruined her appearance, but also lost an arm.
When Buxiao saw Martin for the last time, his eyes were dark and his voice was low, "We lost the bet." ”
In the face of that kind of despair that comes from the soul, I can't even say anything without laughing.
"I'll have to make one last bet." Martin's voice was filled with determination, "I'm going to save her, she's our only hope." ”
Don't laugh and say, "It's a gamble." ”
Martin said: "I only have my life to gamble!" ”
Don't laugh and say, "You're crazy." ”
Martin said: "I've been crazy for a long time. ”
Tears suddenly flowed from Martin's resolute and strong face, he had been longing to find treasure to escape from the troubled times for many years, but the more he avoided, the more he was hunted down by the kingdom and demons, and he fled all day long, living a life of exile. Even the small Chishui Bay has no place for them.
No laughter and no speech.
Martin lamented, "The only ones I can't let go of are the children she has entrusted to me." ”
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly came out of Martin's back: "Look at this person, he won't laugh!" ”
It was a girl with antlers.
It was the first time Buxiao had seen Finks, and her four mischievous siblings......
The non-smiling thought slowly retracted, glanced at Finks, who was still thinking in pieces, and shook the reins again. I don't know if Martin can see it, they're all grown up.
"Last time, Sister Danica punched a wild boar! Really, I saw it with my own eyes! ”
Finks continued to chatter, and the carriage continued to gallop through the sand.
