052 The Other Side of War
Coming out of the tent, the king saw the airship carrying the wounded soldiers unloading them in the pods.
Next to the position of the wounded soldier was the ambulance station, which was already full of bandaged people.
The sound of music came from inside the white curtain wall of the ambulance station.
Wang was curious, so he led the people of the salvation team to the ambulance.
Turning to the entrance of the ambulance station, the dwarf bard Gaines can be seen sitting on a wine barrel in the center of the ambulance station, playing his pocket lute.
"The distant riverbank is lit up / The sunset disappears into the clear night sky / Mounts the horse and picks up the spear / The young Lancelot soldiers set off / There is silence in the vast field / The soldiers search the enemy alertly / The cold light of the sword shines in the darkness ......"
A lightly wounded man angrily scolded: "Shut up! We've just been badly injured by the undead, and we don't want to hear this kind of song about the protagonist being ambushed anymore! ”
As he spoke, the lightly wounded man threw the bloody strip of cloth at the gnome.
Immediately more lightly wounded threw strips of cloth out.
Gaines hurriedly said, "Good, good! I know! Let's have some happy songs, right? Can you talk about the girl from your hometown? ”
With a flick of his hand, the melody of the rudeqin seamlessly switches to a cheerful tune.
"One summer, the sky was just shining,
"I looked to my neighbor,
"I saw a dark-skinned girl,
"Picking a basket of grapes.
I couldn't help blushing, and I panicked,
"I'm going to speak to her."
Flint naturally picked up Gaines' tune and sang the chorus: "Hey, hey, hey, the green maple rustles,
"In front of you, I don't know where to put my hands and feet.
"Green maples, dense maples,
"I'm going to sing for you."
He sang and clapped his hands and did a tap dance.
Maybe Kailin's envoy danced in person, and anyway, the expressions of the wounded soldiers who were still angry just now eased.
Others clapped their hands to the rhythm.
As the song enters the second measure, a dwarf mama in a white robe appears out of nowhere and begins to harmonize with the two.
When Flint saw the dwarf mama in harmony, he reached out and invited her to dance with her.
Elizabeth smiled and turned her head to look at the king: "Let's jump too?" ”
Wang: "Huh? I won't. You forgot the last time you tried to teach me to dance, but your foot got swollen? ”
Elizabeth was about to reply, when Rosalie put her arms around her waist and pulled her to dance.
The aristocrats of Monrovia and Cusania all had masquerade balls, where ladies could dress up as men and dance with their female partners, so Rosalie and Elizabeth, the eldest of the ladies, had learned the steps of men.
This time it looks like Rosalie is playing the role of a man, so it looks like she is leading Elizabeth.
Of course, the aristocratic dance of the great northern country is somewhat incompatible with this cheerful folk song, but no one cares about this.
At the end of the song, Flint touched his limp legs, gasping for breath, and scolding as he gasped: "Damn Kailin, you have to let me wade into this troubled water." ”
The dwarf who had just danced with him looked at Flint's beard and exclaimed, "What a beautiful beard." ”
Flint straightened up, glanced at the dwarf, and boasted, "That's, that's my proudest beard." When I lived in Minos, this beard was one of the best in the entire dwarven community! I don't know how many girls are fascinated by my beard. ”
The female dwarf smiled - that was the dwarf standard, and the human standard was laughing.
She saluted Flint: "I still want to dance with you a few more times, but I still have to deal with the wounded, goodbye, beautiful beard~"
After saying that, the dwarf wearing Lancelot's standard nun uniform hurried back to her post.
Gaines looked in the direction she was leaving, then at Flint, "I thought there was going to be a romance." ”
Wang: "I think so too. I also wanted to take the opportunity to observe how the dwarves fall in love. ”
Flint: "You're right, we dwarves don't have anything special about falling in love, it's the same as other races." Keep playing, gnomes, you see the wounded are all staring at you. ”
The king looked at the dwarf, "How did you come up with the idea to play here?" ”
"I'm a bard," Gaines said, spreading his hands, "singing for the wounded soldiers, healing the wounds of war is a bard's routine, and every bard does it." In addition, the homesickness of the wounded soldiers is also an important source of inspiration for our creation. ”
Wang: "Where did the creation come from?" ”
"Yes, war and love, the two major sources of creation. Just now I thought I was going to witness a lightning love. Gaines looked at Flint, "It's a pity that Lord Ling doesn't seem to want to develop a new love." ”
Wang: "What do you mean?" ”
Rosalie: "If it's a human girl, Flint just said to stay, and the girl should be happy to stay and dance a few more songs." I don't know if that's the case with dwarf girls - well, I don't even know if I should use the word girl or not, and I don't have much confidence in judging the age of dwarves. ”
Flint waved his hand, "Don't mention this, gnome, keep playing, I'll give you a head." ”
The cheerful music sounded again, and it wasn't long before the new wounded airship arrived.
A large number of wounded soldiers were taken to ambulance stations.
They were a little surprised to see what they saw in the ambulance center.
"Don't be surprised, friends," shouted Gaines. You've got your life back, and you'll be alive again in a few days, so rejoice in surviving from the battlefield! ”
Flint: "Free drinks, unlimited drinks!" ”
The wounded soldiers, whether they had just arrived or not, cheered.
Wang scratched his head, and at this time Xiaobai climbed onto his shoulder and whispered in his ear: "I didn't expect to survive the war like this yesterday, I thought we would have to fight." ”
Wang: "Yes, I also thought yesterday that I would have to fight Elzam again today. After all, in the first few wars, we were fighting at the front line. This time sitting in the rear, it is indeed a bit comfortable and unexpected. ”
Elizabeth echoed: "With so much high-end combat power, it's normal that we don't need to go out." ”
The king looked at Elizabeth and said with a smile: "You better wipe your sweat, this mark on your chest is Rosalie's breast?" ”
Elizabeth: "No, she's about the same height as me, and we're all together when we dance." I thought I was going to shoot a lot of scorching rays this morning, but it turns out that the most physically demanding activity is dancing. ”
Wang laughed.
Elizabeth changed her words: "I don't know where Elzam has gone." ”
Rosalie: "I don't know, but I don't understand what Elzam is doing...... It's strange that he didn't hesitate to use us to create such a large army of immortals, and then throw it away. ”
Wang: "Maybe it's a sound from east to west." Bring out the main force of the church and attack the church headquarters. ”
Elizabeth asked curiously, "Is there anything worth leaving the church headquarters?" ”
Wang: "The church headquarters has sealed all the evil magic items obtained from the previous extermination of the lich in the headquarters basement, so I wonder how many of them Elzam wants?" ”
Xiaobai: "You said the lich who took the spoon that can turn water into soup as a treasure?" Would he do this kind of planning? No, no, no, he won't. ”
Xiaobai shook his head like a rattle.
