Section 218 Support (9)
"But we can't do it again. Khorin smiled wryly.
He looked around at the current battlefield, there were still a small number of enemies who were still resisting, and it was no longer in the way of the overall situation here, but his own side was also full of wounds, even the members of the Blood Griffin also had several wounds, and Solomon and them were intact.
Now that the prisoners have rushed out of the prison, there is no problem in escaping, but if they want to fight the army of the Governor of Ili, they will be hit with an egg.
Ma Shiwen's expression darkened, "Child, you have done a good job, you can go quickly, and leave the rest to me, an old man." β
He broke free from Khorin's support, raised his hands and said to the crowd: "Listen to me, the people of Bofeng City, we have escaped now, but the Governor of Ili is preparing to suppress the tax resistance of the residents of Bofeng City, and you have two choices now, one is to abandon your family and flee here as soon as you don't know anything, and the other option is to follow me, an old man, and we will go to the city center together." β
The old man staggered on his own, and the crowd looked, and scattered people followed, but many more did not move.
"That's Ma Shiwen, he betrayed Noriega back then, why should we believe him?"
"But he's right, if we run away like this, what about our relatives and friends? I'd rather go with him, even if I'm going to die with everyone." Someone else followed.
"He didn't betray Noriega, I repeat, Marsven didn't betray Noriega. An impulse swelled up in Khorin's heart, and he stood up sharply and exclaimed amidst the doubts of the crowd: "Because I am the son of Noriega." He was replaced at the beginning. I survived. β
"What?" the crowd was stunned. However, Kehorin personally led people into the prison to save people and fought with them, there is no reason not to believe his words, and it is no good to pretend to be a descendant of Noriega, and it will only be a dead end if the Apuro Empire knows about it.
"So what are you waiting for, you cowards who don't have the courage to run away and watch your family die. Don't you dare to do what even a crippled old man would dare to do?" someone shouted, and ran after Ma Shiwen.
When Kehorin said his identity to correct Ma Shiwen's name, the one-armed Ma Shiwen stopped for a moment, his eyes were slightly moist, and he said in a low voice: "This child." β
More and more people chased after the front line, and there were fewer and fewer people left in the prison except for the corpses, less than a third of the prisoners who were released.
Two more people decided to follow Marshwin, and one of them passed in front of Kelholin. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "We believe that you are a descendant of Noriega, but since this is the case. Why don't you lead us in rebellion, and do you save your benefactor and watch him die?"
Kehorin was shocked, and Marshwen did not hesitate to go to the city center to stop the suppression, but Kehorin honestly did not really want to go, because in this state, only the Blood Griffin Mercenaries and these exhausted and wounded prisoners were no match for the army sent by the Governor of Ili.
Kehorin has been a mercenary for many years, and mercenaries rarely do something that has no possibility of victory for the sake of spiritual slogans such as justice, most of them are just to make money.
So reason told him that rescuing Ma Shiwen was the limit of what the Blood Gryphon could do, and to go and confront the Governor of Ili head-on was to find death.
But just like this, he couldn't bear to see Ma Shiwen, who had just been rescued, go to death again.
KrΓΆlin didn't put his hands in his hair, and his entire face was slightly distorted.
"You still have a chance to turn the tables. Solomon walked slowly to his side and said leisurely.
"What chance?" said Khorin incredulously.
"Attack the Doge's Palace, this is your only chance. Solomon said, "Since the governor of Ili has transferred most of his army to prepare for the defense and suppression of the citizens, the garrison of the governor's palace must be smaller than usual. If you can lead someone to catch him as quickly as possible, you can use him to coerce the Apuro army into withdrawing from Bofeng City. I must warn you, though, that doing so will only put you in a heavier shackle. β
Kehorin slowly lowered his hand and said, "You mean, if I really capture Governor Illy and force back the Apro army, I will have to take care of the rest of the matter?"
"Of course, if you can do this, plus you are a descendant of Noriega, the people of Bofeng City will support you as the city lord, but there will be no room for you to fight against the Apuro Empire. β
"We can also save Bofeng City and flee to Northern Falmalik like you. Max said.
"It's okay now, if you don't do anything now, and flee to North Falmalik with us, the Apuro Empire can't reach it, and it may not cost too much to hunt it down, even if there are rumors about you, but as long as you don't stand up publicly, the existence of Noriega's descendants is just a rumor, at least the Apuro Empire won't admit it. However, if you capture the Governor of Ili and push back the forces of the Aprolo Empire, there is no way to hide your existence, and they will need to capture you or kill you. Even if you follow us and flee to Northern Falmalik you will be pursued, and the rebellion in Bofeng City will be suppressed with all your might, and they will still die. Solomon calmly helped Kelholin analyze and deduce.
"What the hell do you want to say to us, are we going to help the people of Bofeng City, or it's better to run away now. Nafia wondered.
Solomon smiled and looked at Khorin, "It's up to him, I think." β
However, Khorin understood what Solomon meant, that is, if he didn't care about the fate of Marshwen and the inhabitants of Bofeng City now, it was still too late to get out of the way, and the Apuro Empire only needed to quell the riots and rumors, and would not spend much money to pursue the Blood Griffins who fled into Northern Falmalik. But if he wants to save Ma Shiwen and Bofeng City, he must first find a way to capture the Governor of Ili to solve the current predicament, so that he will expose himself and become the person who must be eliminated by the Apuro Empire, otherwise Bofeng City will not be able to rule anymore, but if he does this, it will be difficult to withdraw again, and Bofeng City and Ma Shiwen will still be unable to resist the wrath of the Apuro Empire.
"There's no way I'm going to watch Ma Shiwen die. But even if I shoot again. It's just tying himself to death with Ma Shiwen and Bofeng City. Isn't that right?" said Kehorin slowly, looking at Solomon levelly, "but since you're willing to come up with ideas, you should have a way to help everyone, right?"
Solomon shook his head and said, "I may be able to help you find a way to capture the Governor of Ili again, but then in the face of a large-scale attack by the Apuro Empire, it will be up to you." In fact, as a friend along the way, my advice to you is to stop here. It would be best for you to leave here with me now and go to North Falchaek. β
"No, you must be able to help me and the people here in Bofeng City, didn't you say that you came here to 'invest'?" Ke Helin said, "The purpose of your coming here is to find a partner to cooperate with, there is an opportunity in front of you, if Bofeng City expels the army of the Apuro Empire, you help us." β
Solomon glanced at him, "Did you really think it through? and honestly." Even if you succeed in driving out the army of the Apuro Empire, for me. You're still not a good 'investment' object. Because you will be defeated by the Apuro Empire at any time, and then my investment will be all over, and it will be a waste of time. β
Khorin was silent, Solomon was telling the truth, and he could not refute it.
He can't give up Mashven, but if he refuses to stop now and continues, it is better to do it vigorously than to die in North Falmalik after his identity is exposed, and continue to be hunted down for decades to come.
What's more, he is still Noriega's son, for so many years, he has not dared to come back, which can be regarded as an escape, but once he comes back, he has a different feeling in his heart, especially when he was asked by the person just now, since he is a descendant of Noriega, why don't you lead everyone to resist.
However, he did not plead with Solomon again, but looked at the other party with a resolute look, although the other party just showed a refusal, but I don't know why he had a feeling in his heart that the other party must eventually 'invest' in himself.
Sure enough, Solomon said slowly: "You are really not a good investment object, it is too easy to lose all your money if you invest in you, but I still can't help but give it a try, even if it is ...... in the future." But even if I promise you, you must first deal with the Governor of Illy, otherwise you won't stand a chance. β
Khorin's face was relieved, "What should we do with Governor Illy?"
Solomon looked around, and there were a few people around him who didn't follow Marshwin, many of whom had escaped from the prison below.
He nodded slightly, pointed at Monroe, and said, "As long as he is willing to help us, there is hope to capture the Governor of Ili." β
"Me?" Munro never dreamed that it would fall on his head, but he was also an experienced mercenary, so he immediately understood what Solomon meant, and said in a lost voice, "You want to disguise yourself as my retinue and sneak into the Doge's Palace?"
"Yes, this is the only way to get in smoothly, otherwise the plan will be ruined if you storm the Governor's Palace head-on, and let the Governor of Ili escape with a slight delay. Solomon laughed, "If you want to save your life, we are the only ones who have to cooperate." β
"No, it's impossible, I'm the Phantom Mercenary Regiment, I've been sent to protect Governor Illy, and I've done that, what should I do?" said Monroe with a sweat on his head.
"If you don't agree, it's a dead end now. Kehorin said coldly, and Richie immediately stepped forward and said.
"If he doesn't agree, turn him into a walking corpse, and then I'll manipulate him. Berricina said, her spirit state stabilizing as Sabelle helped her survive the toughest times.
Monro smiled bitterly: "Okay, I cooperate, but if I do this, the Phantom Mercenary Group will not let me go, and it will not let you go." β
"I'd be interested in meeting your leader, and I'd be in need of some if I could. Solomon said.
Monroe's face stiffened suddenly, and Solomon was not afraid of the phantom mercenaries at all, but showed that he had the intention of taking them in.
If it weren't for the fact that he was now a prisoner, of course he would have seen it as a joke, but now he couldn't laugh. (To be continued......)
