Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
It's painful to wait for a long time, especially when you think he's going to show up, but it's not coming. Worried that the enemy would appear at any time, knowing that they should chase after him, but he didn't see a shadow until it was close to noon, and he didn't understand what this situation was, but Lu Chen, who was more exhausted because of this, finally couldn't stand it anymore and stopped looking back frequently, and allowed the team to rest in place, replenish food, and recover some body.
It's just that most of the adults, after receiving this instruction, became a little uneasy, thinking that the lord wanted to let everyone go. Because they were all worried about what Lu Chen was thinking, they insisted on hurrying without complaining.
There is no prohibition on alcohol among the people, I don't know who used alcohol as water, and I don't know where it started, when Lu Chen and everyone casually filled their stomachs, there was a commotion in the current ranks, and even the soldiers who were in the middle of maintaining order were also involved.
"What's going on?" As soon as he arrived at the incident point, Lu Chen saw some soldiers scuffling with more than a dozen strong men, although there was no substantial damage, but the appearance was really unbearable.
"My lord, these guys are spreading rumors that you're ready to leave everyone behind. A soldier who was dissuading the others replied with some anger.
Hearing that the lord was coming, the people who were fighting also consciously let go of each other and stood in two teams, that is, the troublemaker seemed to be very unconvinced by the previous soldier's explanation, and someone immediately stood up and responded: "There is no obstruction here, and the view is very wide, stop here to rest." Not deliberately waiting for the enemy to catch up. So to dissipate our burdens? Not to mention us civilians. It's the same with you soldiers, otherwise why would he transfer the others? ”
"Yes, the fleets of Mark and Cattrick were established at about the same time, and they can give so much money at once, and only the lord is the lord, and now he has taken his own people, isn't it equivalent to using us as bait. "Another person came forward, and it was more explicit than the first one. Immediately directed everyone's gaze towards Lu Chen and questioned, and even the soldiers who had defended him before had suspicion in their eyes.
It's a bit of an impulse to kill these troublemakers with a sword, but it's only a little, because if you change your position, you will also have the same thoughts as them, not to mention that there are so many pairs of eyes around, no matter whether they are good or bad, they can't choose lightly now. Sighing, Lu Chen left a sentence, "Those who want to leave, let's go." There was only one hour to rest," and then turned and went back to the end of the line.
Couldn't get a definite answer from the lord. Most of the people looked a little disappointed, but they didn't choose to be quiet, only some of the young people in the troublemakers were still there scolding, and then a few single people who had no worries left angrily south in the eyes of no longer support. It's just that no one noticed, and two of them had strange eyes, and if any of them were there, they would recognize them as the two little assistants secretly cultivated by the head of Tony who had become a fragment.
――――
"Will the lord really leave everyone behind as those guys say?"
"How could it be, otherwise why would he stay at the end. ”
"Even if you don't want to think about the strength of adults, if the enemy comes, you can't kill them all with a wave of your hand. ”
"Then why doesn't he defend himself, those guys are so hateful. ”
"That's right, that kind of person really shouldn't be saved. Or we ......" The speaker winked at everyone and motioned to go back and teach the troublemakers a lesson.
"Alright, you guys don't mess around...... But I can go to appease everyone's feelings for the lord, and wait for me to ask ~ Mrs. for instructions. Cressy stopped the sisters' thoughts, and at the same time suddenly thought of an opportunity to benefit herself, and when she wanted to ask for advice after seeing everyone nodding, she knew that she chose Phoebe.
As for Phoebe's answer, of course it was yes, and then after watching Cressy run back to the team with everyone a little excited, she deliberately asked Lu Chen: "Do you have no opinion?"
Lu Chen actually heard all kinds of discussions behind him very clearly, but in addition to chasing soldiers, there was also the matter of how to settle these 30,000 people, which needed to be thought about before arriving in the next town, otherwise there would inevitably be conflicts, so he didn't notice the little difference between Cressy and Phoebe, just hummed, and continued to have a headache with the responsibility of the lord.
An hour passed quickly, Cressy and the others were still busy in the team, and their efforts were obvious, the team that set off again did not have a little discordant sound, and even many young men and women joined them, helping the people who needed to be taken care of around them, which made Lu Chen, who had seen the situation in the back, very pleased.
Then, until the sun fell on the horizon, Lu Chen finally relieved himself of the enemy who still had no shadow, and gave the order to rest in place for the night, and asked the soldiers to form several teams to search for water and food nearby.
However, just as everyone relaxed, a small team of more than a dozen people appeared in the far south direction.
――――
"It's really a breakthrough in the whole city, this scale, tsk~"
"Captain, isn't our lord really trying to help that fool who was driven out of the city? That's too many, and if they all listen to that false lord, then we ......"
"You kid talk a lot of nonsense, is this something we need to worry about, and I didn't let you rush to the front, not to mention that helping the fake lord is a big crime of rebellion, in exchange for you, do you dare to resist?"
“......”
"Okay, this meritorious opportunity is given to you, go back and report to the lord, I'll stay here and continue to monitor." ”
"Hehe, thank you, captain, I'll treat you to a drink when I get back. ”
More than half an hour later, the arraignment soldier appeared in a large army farther to the south, reporting the detection to several men in the middle of the line wearing armor marked with noble status.
Then, after listening to the report, one of them confirmed the conditions with the people around him, smiled with satisfaction with several people around him, and waved the order to act.
――――
Seeing that the army behind him was divided into three groups, slowly moving towards the goal, the face of the person who had been repeatedly asked about the conditions was full of infinite melancholy, but the treaty in his hand signed with his name in duplicate made him have no way out.
"Why do you want to do so much, it's just more than 20,000 worthless pariahs, if Valais's matter is caught by the kingdom, you won't even have your life. ”
"Sister is right, my dear, those who are rebellious and unlucky are us, and besides, they are all mobs and do not deserve mercy. After the qiē is settled, we will go to the royal capital together and ask the Holy See for help, so that we can all conceive your child smoothly. ”
"Yes, it's still our own affairs that matter, just 20,000 civilians, as long as you are still the city lord, sooner or later you will have these populations, it's a pity that Skipp is a talent, I didn't expect him to know that the fake lord was arranged by Vales. ”
Listening to the words of his three wives, the face of the man holding the treaty became even worse, but his thoughts were different from before, and he was no longer worried about his own losses, but that Valles and his soldiers would continue to live. "If this incident can be passed safely, the two of you will take over Tony's affairs, and I hope that he in the underworld can bless your two nephews. ”
"~ Yes, thank you Lord for the promotion. Uncle Tony, he will continue to serve you in the dark. The answer was the two men who had taken the opportunity to flee the line at noon, and the man they were dealing with with was Pratt, who had escaped from Brion.
At the same time, twelve of the dozen or so people behind Pratt said goodbye to him, blended into the departing mid-lane army, and disappeared from his sight. (To be continued......)
