Chapter 1025: The Problem of a Non-Literary Youth (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
General Pidius tightened his lips and the muscles of his face bulged high, 'forming angular lines of fortitude.
His expression was even stricter than just now, looking up at the dark clouds in the distance, his face was gloomy and terrifying, his thick fists were clenched tightly, his knuckles were tensed, and the originally blue tendons on his hands became extremely pale.
When the guards next to him saw his expression, they were all frightened and avoided it.
Because, everyone who is familiar with him knows it. When this expression appeared on his face, it was also when he was most annoyed.
Someone once described Pierdius at this time as an angry lion because he really didn't hesitate to kill.
And he used to do it. Those veteran guards can even tell the story of how he tore one or several poor guards with his bare hands into pieces under the anger of a non-literary young man in Chapter 1025 (asking for a monthly ticket).
So, at this time, no one dared to approach him.
To survive, or to ruin?
That's a problem~!
General Pierdius was also a vassal of Grace, and accompanied his mistress in the twenty-seventh chamber to watch the scene of Hamlet, which is said to have been written by Lorraine, in the theater. also once unscrupulously ridiculed the melancholy prince in the play who was literary and arty, and was still a little **.
But now, Hua found that now he was facing the same problem as the prince.
Moreover, when he was a bystander before, he felt that this problem was just a piece of shit, but when he really faced this problem himself, he found that the problem was so heavy. And he is definitely not much better than the prince who has some literature and art, and some **.
General Hadou and he were friends of life and death. And for General Haddou's commanding ability, not only trusted, but also admired, even to the point of blindness and fanaticism.
But his son?
That's just an idiot~!
An idiot with a simple mind and well-developed limbs~!
thought that fighting a war was the problem of a non-literary and artistic youth in Chapter 1025 (asking for a monthly ticket), and the pioneers dared to fight. I don't know what command skills are.
As long as General Haddou gave the order, even if it was to attack Hell, Pidius could rush forward without hesitation. Because he knew that General Haddou could give them hope of victory.
But his son?
Even a drill must be prepared for the soldiers to disperse.
Now, Haddou, his son, taking advantage of the emptiness in the rear, with the help of Mela, actually climbed on his head.
That idiot not only seized power, but also wanted to dictate to himself, what should he do now?
If you raise an army to resist, it is against your best friend and most respected brother.
It is also inevitable that he will be saddled with the name of disloyalty. The second half of his life was shackled with conscience.
If you let it go, let that little bunny command indiscriminately.
Facing the bloody butcher Grand Duke Julius, facing the famous Flying Eagle God of War, facing an army of up to 600,000 people, and facing an enemy with a large number of terrifying magic cannons.
Even Haddou couldn't do it, let alone the little rabbit cub in their family.
With that little bunny's ability, he will definitely send everyone to hell.
He is not afraid of death, he can shed blood and sacrifice. But they will never allow others to send their families and children to hell......
To survive, or to ruin?
This is a problem......
He turned his head like a river and a sea in his heart, but he was indecisive and difficult to decide.
At this moment, I heard the sound of footsteps not far away.
He couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart, and turned away angrily, but then his expression turned cold.
Forced himself to suppress the fire.
I saw a big fat man dressed in a gorgeous costume with a shiny face staggered to him under the escort of several soldiers.
This fat man is not only special in size, but also has a round face that is round and as pleasing as the four joy pills. Because of too much fat, the eyes, eyebrows, and nose are all crowded together, and there are almost no features to be seen.
Wearing a rather gorgeous and eye-catching dress, he is full of the unique style of an upstart.
The dress is very much in line with the appearance of the wealthy businessmen running on the road.
Every year, the merchants of this kind who come and go from the pass of the Jindelun mountain pass are thrown into the small town below the pass, if not ten thousand, but eight thousand, which is inconspicuous.
But when such a man had entered the city, he hastened to leave in a carriage and go to other places to do business, but when he came, he went around the officers under Pidius in a different way, and was easily noticed.
Seeing that Pierdius stared at him coldly, the fat man did not say a word, but bowed his head without saying a word, looked at his toes, and sweat beaded out of his face pocket. Only occasionally do they roll their eyelids, and peek up alertly and slyly once or twice.
Pidius pressed his sword with his hand and looked at him for a long time, and then said indifferently: "Who sent you?"
Peacekeepers or Queens?" the big fat man shuddered.
He trembled and stretched out his hand, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the sweat on his head with a trembling tremble, and said in a crying voice: "Great, my lord." I don't know what you're talking about, sir, I ...... I'm just a little common man. ”
Pidius glanced back at the fat man slightly, and said coldly, "Are you insulting my IQ?you damn dog~!" The voice grew louder and louder, and even roared angrily.
Immediately afterward, I saw Pidius suddenly make a move.
His big thick and powerful hands tightly clamped the fat man's neck, and his thick arms just pulled, like grabbing a chicken, and pressed the fat fat man to the sky against the city wall, and the upper half of his body was beyond the city wall.
Below the city wall is the abyss, five or six hundred feet away, and ordinary people will feel dizzy just by glancing at it.
The muscles of Pidius's arms were tense, the veins were clearly bulging, and the fat man's weight of two hundred pounds was as light as a ball of cotton in his hands.
With a slight exertion, Pidius could throw the fat man off the city.
The fat man only felt that his neck was stuck by red-hot iron tongs, his white skin instantly turned red, and his eyes protruded slightly like dead fish.
The fat man turned his head and glanced at the abyss below him, almost scared to pee, and fell from this place, surely not even a single intact bone would be left.
"My lord, my lord, spare my life. Please, spare your life. Have mercy, I still have an eighty-year-old lady at home, and a nursing child," the fat man danced with his frightened hands, screaming and struggling desperately.
But Pidius's arm was as if it were cast of iron, and he held him down, not moving at all.
Pidius squinted his eyes and stared at the fat man for a while, and finally showed an impatient look on his face, and pressed his arm down, just like to throw the fat man down, and most of the fat man's upper body was out of the city wall.
"Yellow, I'm a yellow person. At this time, the fat man's frightened soul flew out of the sky and shouted loudly.
Because of the tension, the voice was even a little sharp and distorted, like the scream of a soprano. Sounds odd.
Pidius twitched the corners of his mouth, showed a smug and hideous smile, pinched the fat man's hand and gently pulled it back, pulling the fat man back into the city wall, and then shook his hand, and the fat man rolled on the ground twice.
Rao was like this, but the fat man was still lying on the ground panting as if he had been pardoned.
Pidius snorted coldly, then waved his hand to the soldiers behind him and said, "Stand down, no one is allowed to come up without my order." ”
"But, my lord, ......"
"Huh?" Pierdius glared coldly at his subordinates.
Under his fierce and cold gaze, the soldiers did not dare to say more, and hurriedly retreated.
When everyone left, the fat man held his neck and coughed vigorously for a while before the flushed eyes on his face slowly faded, and then he clumsily got up from the ground and patted the dust on his clothes.
Immediately, his face changed, showing a calm look, and he smiled slightly: "Your lord's divine power is unmatched in Almohd. ”
Pidius smiled proudly, most Almohads would not be too unfamiliar with the name Pidius.
After all, he was the No. 2 person in the Southern Army who followed Hadu from a young age, and he was known for his toughness and cruelty in his hands with the military power of a province.
Not to mention his outstanding achievements, he himself is also a master of martial arts.
Although he is over 50 years old, he is still in good shape, and occasionally he will personally lead the troops to rush to the front line.
Pidius himself was very proud of this. Amor and Haddou are famous Confucian generals who like to strategize and win thousands of miles away.
He Pidius was a fierce general, and he was the best at charging into battle.
is also because of his bravery, he has always been respected by the Southern Army.
The fat man was relieved to see that he was comfortable slapping Pidius's ass, and if Pidius really threw him down from the castle tower, he would die in vain, and at most someone else would come here to carry out the mission.
The fat man straightened his clothes, respectfully saluted Pidius, and said, "Officially, in Lower Hemerson, it is a secret envoy sent by Her Majesty the Empress." ”
Pidius looked Hemerson up and down carefully, and said with an unkind face: "You are so bold, you are not afraid that I will kill you." ”
Hemerson's chubby round face smiled and said, "Didn't you kill me?"
Pidius snorted and said, "You seem to want me to kill you." ”
Hemerson waved his hand again and again, and said with a wry smile: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I'm a coward, don't scare me, adult." ”
Pidius stared at him and said, "You are not a little bold. What did the queen send you for? ”
Hemerson smiled and said, "I'm here to help adults." ”
"Excuse me," Pierdius waved his hand and said, "Amor and I are entrusted with our lives, the soldiers are coming to block, the water is coming to cover the earth, I don't need help." ”
Hemerson smiled slyly and said, "Not necessarily, it's not Amor who is in charge now, Haddou." ”
Pidius froze, pursed his lips tightly, and then hung his head in silence.
Hemerson said, "The future of the Southern Army under the leadership of that little kid is worrying, my lord."
We have heard of your lordship in the north, and your reputation for loyalty is famous all over the world, and it is the pride of our empire.
Even in Abdewad, Her Majesty the Empress and the Prime Minister mentioned that you were coming, and they had to praise you first. ”
Pidius glanced at him sharply, and said, "Since you know that I am worthy of my old friend, you still dare to come?"
Hemerson shook his head and said, "This is a mistake, I know that your loyalty, first of all, is loyal to your hometown of Kirkfors, and loyal to the people of Kirkfors. And not to be loyal to Haddou himself, and even less to Angel, Haddou. ”
Pidius was stunned for a moment, then let out a long breath of stuffy breath in his chest, and said: "Indeed, protecting and benefiting the people of Kirkfors is my life's goal, and it is also the motivation for me to fight. ”
Hemerson gave a thumbs up and said, "So the big man is the true hero of our Almohads." And our Majesty, the Empress, did not want to see the pride of the Almohads of the Rans, and sank into the abyss with the broken ship tied to Haddou, so she sent me to persuade your lordship. ”
Pierdius's eyes flashed, and he said, "Oh, so the queen is bothered. ”
Hemerson waved his hand, and said that Her Majesty the Queen has always been eager to be virtuous, and a hero like an adult will not ignore it. Her Majesty the Empress said, as long as you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, you can lead Kirkfors to return to the right, plus the position of hereditary baron, the chief of the military department, or the governor of the north, two seats are at your disposal. ”
Pidius sighed, and turned to stare at the northern peaks in thought.
From this condition, Pidius could see the sincerity of Empress Isabella.
Because the conditions offered to him are just right, neither mean nor generous.
Pidius was brave and irascible, but he was not stupid, on the contrary, he hid a meticulous mind under his rude appearance, otherwise he would have become the number two man in the Southern Army.
If Empress Isabella offered harsh conditions, Pidius would certainly not agree.
But if the conditions are too rich, then Pidius has to wonder if Queen Isabella wants to stabilize herself and settle her own account when the matter is over.
These two conditions tickled Pidius's itch.
In fact, what he was most worried about was that he would be slowly liquidated after surrendering, after all, he had also hurt the New Army hard, and he was like an enemy with the New Army.
Seeing that Pierdius was hesitant, Hemerson decided to add fuel to the fire, and said: "Actually, Lorraine, the deputy commander-in-chief of the peacekeeping forces, decided to send troops to Kirkfors a long time ago, and it was our Empress Xià who dissuaded the peacekeepers.
My lord, you don't know, Lorraine once made a bold statement that he only needed half a day to take down the natural danger of the Zindelun Mountain Pass. ”
Pidius sneered and said, "What a big breath." ”
Hemerson sighed, shook his head, and said, "I don't think people are very angry. Your Excellency, you don't know, Lorraine only used eighty guns to kill Haddou at the Prisca Ferry.
There are now 300 guns like that. "Hiss~!" Prisca couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Although he didn't see it in person, from the mouth of the defeated army, he understood in detail the power of artillery, and knew that the city wall was as fragile as paper paste in front of the artillery.
The mountain fortress he was proud of did not know how long he could hold out in front of three hundred guns.
Hemerson said worriedly: "Your Excellency, you also know that the people in the peacekeeping force are basically our enemies of Almohad. If they are allowed to enter Kirkfors, our peaceful and peaceful homeland will be ravaged by war, and I don't know what will happen in the end.
In fact, it is better for us to sit down and solve our own contradictions with the Mohd people. Pierdius scolded in his heart:, the Ruman people are not introduced by that little girl, what kind of good people are they at this time.
Pidius also knew that the peacekeepers were not at peace, and once they were killed, the whole Kirkfors would be scorched earth.
And he Pidius will not end up with any good results, and will probably be rumored to be the first to go.
Thinking of this, Pidius smiled bitterly, did he have a choice?
The outcome of this matter was predestined from the beginning of the formation of the peacekeeping force.
Pidius himself was not afraid of death, and he was even happy to accompany Haddou to resist to the end, ending his life in a vigorous battle.
But Haddou suddenly fell, and Angel, who had no experience or qualifications, jumped out to take charge of the entire Southern Army, which made Pidius feel very unbalanced, and felt as if he had been betrayed by Haddou.
Moreover, Pidius knew that none of his officers and soldiers were willing to fight such a losing war.
The officers and men had their families and possessions in Kirkfors, and they were the first targets to be overwhelmed by the enemy's army.
Not only will they not win, but in the end, they and their families will lose what they now have and become homeless, penniless beggars.
The morale of the soldiers under Pidius has long been unstable, the officers and soldiers have no fighting spirit, and they live as if they are waiting for death, and some people indulge to their heart's content, as if they want to have enough money before they die.
If it weren't for the prestige of Pidius, perhaps someone would have surrendered to the peacekeepers long ago.
Pidius knew that the only bargaining chip he could shield himself was the barrier at his feet, but with the artillery of the peacekeeping forces, his bargaining chip also followed.
Now he simply does not have the ability to reconcile conditions with the Almohads Empire.
Pidius gritted his teeth, suddenly turned to look at the fat man Hemerson, and said, "Please tell the queen that the new army is coming to the city, and I will open and close to greet you." ”
Hemerson breathed a sigh of relief, wiped a handful of sweat from his head, and secretly said in his heart: I just took this task, and I thought I was dead.
Then he rose up, and he persuaded the number two person of the Southern Army to surrender with one mouth, the fierce general of Kirkfors, and made this great achievement, and naturally there was a rich reward after he returned.
The fortress, painstakingly run by Haddou, has begun to crumble from within.
After receiving the news that Kirkfors was willing to surrender, he took the Prisca Ferry, and the time was ripe for the southern expedition.
At this time, the south has become a mess.
The sudden attack by the regiment sent by Angel caught several warlords in the neighboring provinces by surprise, and the first few days went very smoothly, and the capitals of the two provinces were captured in the same day.
However, the rebel leader family, who was originally entrenched in the three provinces, was naturally unwilling to give away their family business, so they hurriedly pulled up the team and fought with the Southern Army.
Angel had to increase his troops again.
Looking at them, Ding, Ding Dangdang was fighting, but the Southern Army stationed in front lost its direction in a daze, not knowing what to do at this time. !!!
