733. Return to the Black Flame Pass

Colonel Fraser sensed something was wrong when he found out that Ron and Robinson were gone, and he even borrowed a portal that only Gentiles would use on a large scale to rush back to the Crimson Keep, trying to return to Frontier Fortress to stop Ron from doing something stupid.

But just as he was preparing to set off at the Crimson Keep, he received a message from the Frontier Fortress.

After all, I was a step too late.

Black Flame Pass's War Heroes Major Ron Rolmar Soros and George J. Captain Iron Hand 'Robinson, who had been dismissed from his military duties for attempting to start a rebellion, was being held in a cell at Pioneer Fortress awaiting further trial by a court-martial, and Marshal Loren personally ordered Colonel Fraser to return to the front line of the Valley of the Shadows to supervise the battle.

This is to make it clear that Fraser is not allowed to be involved in this matter.

To be honest, when he received the news, Fraser really had the urge to go back and open up the fortress now, but he was a sane man after all.

With the temper of the marshal, not killing these two bastards on the spot means that there is still a chance to redeem the matter, and General Soros, as Marshal Loren's comrade-in-arms for many years, will not sit idly by and watch his son really become an innocent prisoner, so the result of this incident is most likely that Ron and Iron Hand were swept away by the Pioneer Army.

This is also another sense of offsetting the merits and demerits.

Fraser had mixed feelings.

He roams alone in the Crimson Keep, which has been deviated from its usual bustle due to the wartime system, and is eager to find a place to get drunk or something, so that he can not worry about these troublesome things for a while.

However, after walking to the administrative district of the Crimson Keep, after a moment's hesitation, he submitted a request to the janitor to visit the Crimson Archon in his official capacity, and was quickly approved.

It's not that Archon Miriam has put down her official duties for personal matters, but after a large number of civil servants in Transencia have filled various positions in the government department, her daily work is not as busy as before, and she can still find a little time to chat with important people in foreign countries between meetings and decisions.

The Capetian family, who are still providing some support for the war, are after all important collaborators of Transencia in the Plantagenet Kingdom, and Colonel Fraser is clearly in a special position.

But when she saw Colonel Frazier's wilted look with her own eyes, Miriam knew that this guy was in trouble.

In the Archon's office, she poured a cup of tea for her senior, listened to Fraser's story, and after hearing what happened to Major Ron, the Scarlet Archon shook her head and said:

"You're just too anxious to spot Major Ron's strategy, doesn't a shrewd fellow like him know the end of his trip?

He knew better than anyone that he was merely putting the Marshal of the Short Man up in such a drastic way at this delicate moment, and with the clear aim of single-handedly pushing this matter that might have been temporarily hidden on the table, and forcing Marshal Loren to deal with it at once.

He skillfully took advantage of the needs of Plantagenet's domestic public opinion propaganda and grasped the worst results.

This matter is now in turmoil within the Pioneer Corps, and if it is not properly handled, the short marshal cannot be said to have lost the morale of the army overnight, and at least the prestige will be hit for sure.

For an honor-minded military man, this stain will stay with him for the rest of his life.

Although, in my opinion, Marshal Loren is to blame and deserves to be blamed, I have to say that I really underestimated that Major Ron.

Not only is he shrewd, but he is really open-minded at critical moments.

You're a little indecisive by comparison. ”

"Me"

The colonel wanted to refute, but in the face of Miriam's explanation, he was speechless for a while, and finally could only hold the teacup and sigh and say:

"It's like I'm getting to know Ron for the first time, and the fierce side of his personality is actually showing in this way, and if it were me, I really couldn't make up my mind."

"It doesn't have to be like this, you are the eldest son, he is the second son of the family, and the responsibilities you undertake are completely different from the life he is destined to have, so naturally they can't be compared together."

Miriam is really a lot more mature than before.

She comforted Fraser and said:

"I guess the reason why Major Ron dared to be so direct was because he was sure that his departure would not affect the operation of the Pioneer Battalion, in other words, he believed that the mess he caused could be properly handled by you, which was also a trust in another sense.

Don't let down your brother and be careful in the next battle, if you encounter danger or fall into a worse situation, your father will definitely make terrible waves.

In today's situation, this is an unnecessary disruption.

Do you need me to arrange for a psyker to take you back to the front? Or do you want to spend the night in the city? ”

"I'll leave in a moment, we just got a position in the Valley of the Shadows, and the morale of the soldiers also needs to be maintained, and we have to hand over the commander who will be sent out next to open up the fortress, there are a lot of things."

The Colonel took a sip of tea, he glanced at Miriam, and then noticed the ceremonial saber that the other wore at his waist, and he whispered:

"So, are you ready to step into battle if necessary?"

"I'm also a burden to others when I go to the battlefield, after all, I haven't learned how to fight systematically."

Miriam smiled, flicked her long red hair, and said in a witty manner:

"If I could, I would not try to cause trouble for the soldiers, but if the war really requires me to be involved, then I probably won't refuse. To tell you the truth, when I step into the stage of the men, I may change to a more intimidating form. ”

"Vampires?"

Fraser raised an eyebrow, he put down his teacup and said:

"Determined to come to this point? You know, with your current status and status, even if things really go to the worst, both countries will be willing to set aside a refuge for you, right? You can choose one of the two sides and form a government-in-exile."

"And then be traded as a political bargaining chip by King Louis or the Wolf Girl?"

Miriam shook her head, and she said decisively:

"No, that's not the fate that the Translancians would choose, it's a blasphemy against all the past efforts of me and my companions, and I know that I am not able to sit in this position because I am really good, I am just pushed here by fate, and have been helped by many well-wishers.

I've been trying to make myself worthy of the title of 'Scarlet Archon'.

War, or death in battle, is also a manifestation of this effort.

Of course, if a man like you is good enough to win a brilliant victory on the front line, then I don't have to leave a suicide note or anything in advance.

Well, maybe I shouldn't say such an ominous thing in front of you, but in short, I wish you all the best in the battle ahead, and may the light of victory live on you. ”

"Thanks for the blessings."

Fraser took a sip of tea, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, he stood up and said goodbye to Miriam:

"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to listen to me, your analysis is important to me and Ron, and it seems that I need to arrange a suitable place for my reckless brother's life after that."

"A sleek mercenary group might be good, or maybe the Capetian family's army of servants for war advancement."

Miriam sent Frazier to the door, and she whispered:

"Ron wasn't really averse to war, he just chose the latter between duty and friendship.

As reckless as his actions may seem, the fact that he was able to do this for Dunn and the fallen warriors is proof that he values friendship above all else, and that means you can trust him.

Even beyond the trust between superiors and subordinates, the kind of trust between real brothers, just as the big people always have some things that are inconvenient for them to do.

Anyway, congratulations, Colonel, you have the best pair of blood gloves to use.

Ahem, don't show that expression, with your grammar level, you can naturally judge that I am not using it in a derogatory sense here. ”

"I understand."

Fraser frowned and nodded.

He didn't say anything more, said a very gentlemanly goodbye, and then strode out of the Executive Yuan.

Miriam came to the window to watch her senior leave, and she had just noticed that Fraser had the scarlet revolver she had given out in his holster.

Alas.

The archon sighed, patted his cheek lightly, and said:

"Miriam, you little goblin, you really have a knack for seducing men.

Forget it, work, let me see the files that need to be processed urgently. Well, Boss Huo of Treasure Bay bought 30,000 landless serfs in the Great Wilderness Area in his personal name, and contributed them to the Administration Office in the name of Treasure Bay to fill the manpower.

Well, 300 places are in hand, and Governor Murphy will definitely be satisfied.

In other words, Boss Huo and Boss Maomao Rabbit have single-handedly obtained nearly 50,000 manpower and 500 foreigner quotas for Transcia since the beginning of the war.

Although they are not on the front line, this contribution is already worthy of an 'administrative baron' badge, so try harder, you two, and I am looking forward to having the Earl's medal on their chests with their own hands after the war is over." ”

——

"The concentration of filthy psionic energy on the periphery of the Black Flame Pass position has dropped to near a safe threshold, I think we should go back and take a look!"

In the Tavern run by the vampires of the Shadow Spirits in the Shadow Valley, where the members of the Silver Moon Regiment, who had just completed the mission of clearing the gnolls near the Barren Mountains, were partying, and Reeds, holding a wine glass about the size of her head, drank apple juice with this cool thing, and said to the others:

"I flew over last night to see, and the dark shadows of the psionic energy on the outer positions have dispersed a bit, although the center of the position is still impossible to get close, but I think we can use the fire to open the way, maybe we can explore the area around the eighth position.

Lord Heather was transformed in the second stage there, maybe we can find some relics, by the way, do a battlefield reconnaissance, doesn't it mean that the mountain pass over there has been blown up, and then the gnolls only need to clear the surface and walk all the way without obstacles?

Do you want to bury anti-infantry mines there or something? ”

"Now is not the time, the Black Flame Pass position will definitely be cleared again later, and that is the best time for large-scale minelaying."

Sister Pomegranate, who was drinking a cocktail, shook her head and said:

"And the silver dwarves also said that they couldn't be sure of what existed in the complex structure beneath the position, and the scale of the astral tear was so large that it would be impossible to drop some dangerous things from the astral plane.

Like the astral creatures we encountered earlier in the ruins of Cadman.

Astral tigers, lizards or something. ”

"Now we're not afraid, we'll kill if we encounter it!"

Xiao Wei Ming waved his fist and shouted:

"But if I can find Lord Heather's relics, I think that if I send those things to Lord Pa Ying, I will definitely be able to gain prestige, right? Lord Heather is the heir of Lord Pa Ying! ”

"Emmm, that makes sense."

Lumina reached out and rubbed it vigorously on Xiao Weiming's head, and said:

"You're really smart with a little head, so, Mrs. Water, what do you say? To go or not to go? ”

"Go, anyway, the second phase of the operation hasn't started yet, and if you stay here, you can only take on some daily tasks to clean up the surroundings, and there is not much oil and water."

Mrs. Water held the yogurt in her hand, she glanced at the orchid beside her, and said:

"Your potential is 100%?"

"Well, the fourth Ancestral Power: Icebreaker Chill has also been unlocked."

Orchid Flower held a glass of dwarf barley wine helplessly, but the wine in her cup exuded a cold aura, obviously a wonderful ancestral power in effect.

The power of her four ancestors not only manifested wonderfully in this kind of thing, but even had an impact on her appearance, the long black hair was becoming more and more crystal clear day by day, revealing a cold blue, and there were ice flowers wrapped around the tips of her hair, and even the color of her pupils turned gray blue.

This is a sign of the activation of the Gounod bloodline after the anti-ancestry, and the unspeakable fact is that Orchid finds that her in-game pants are getting shorter every few days, which means that her already exaggerated legs are still getting longer.

"The release of the power of this ancestor is also amazing"

She complained, drank the barley wine with ice chips in her hand, slammed the cup on the table, and said:

"Just take advantage of this expedition to complete the Silver Trial."

"Yes, the first black iron in the game is the most powerful of our little reed in the Silver Moon Group, the first silver is still on our side, let the embarrassed Sister Pomegranate work harder, and strive to complete the first gold challenge among the players!"

Xiao Wei Ming cheered and said:

"My potential bar has reached 95%, and I will have to test it when I get the power of the fourth ancestor, and the orchid will explore the way for us."

"Don't make a fuss, I'm 99%."

Sister Pomegranate snorted, supported her chin with her left hand and revealed an expression of "how lonely is invincible", and her right hand popped out the claw blade to cut out one small crack after another on the table, and said:

"And I have four ancestral powers now, I plan to get together six and then be promoted, I advise you not to worry, according to the NPCs, the completion of the Silver Trial will directly determine your progress and destination on the road of chasing golden power.

Instead of making a parallel silver product if it is not high or low, it is better to practice more in a down-to-earth manner. ”

"You think everyone is a battle maniac like you and Brother Cat!"

Lumina complained fiercely:

"We, ordinary players, are already desperate to get the power of the four ancestors, okay? And I'm a half-elf with a choice, I don't want to give up either humans or elves.

So I'm going to either wait for the Moon Elves or Forest Elves to open up before switching races, or I'll go for Kryptonite!

300% experience cost, uh, should just be a little slower to level up? ”

"You think too much, leveling is secondary, and the most important thing is the speed of skill improvement."

Sister Pomegranate said faintly:

"It's already hard to learn advanced skills now, I can't imagine how painful it will be to learn high-level skills and master-level skills in the future, your 300% experience consumption will definitely become a deadly sinkhole in the later stage.

Let's change races, I think the talent of the shadow elves is very useful. ”

"Don't! The Shadow Elves have a terrible review. ”

Lumina crossed her arms and refused:

"Don't you know, those erosive guys have started to engage in special service industries in Lao Huo's Treasure Bay, and they don't do it for money, it's purely a preference, and those big-headed soldiers who ran to spend looked like they were sucked dry when they came out one by one.

It's also horrible. ”

"Well, yes, the shadow elves are really exaggerated in this regard."

Mrs. Shui rubbed her eyebrows and said helplessly:

"I went to learn from the master tailor of the Mejewa family, and the guy insisted that I stay with her for three days, and that I wear strange clothes and dogs! My husband almost rolled up his sleeves and beat her, and guess what?

The guy was even more excited when he saw my husband and proposed three people. Scald! I reported it to the sheriff on the spot, and when Aunt Mei took her away, that guy was still flattering me.

It's insane.

Those of us who are clean and self-conscious should not socialize with those guys, let's go after drinking this round, bring enough alchemy oil and then call the others to go with us.

The position is very large, just rely on us to find things to find the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue to go?

Xiao Wei Ming, you don't drink, why are you occupying a position?

Go and go, change your horrible old mom, you go to the bulletin board to send a mission, remember to find more people. ”

"Hmph, you guys are discrimination! What happened to apple juice? Is apple juice healthy, okay? Hate you guys! Mom? Mom! Don't tempt restless young people who don't know anything over there, come and drink with them and teach them a little bit of experience as a husband by the way!

Your baby daughter is being bullied!

Hell, you said you were going to stay with me, why are you having more fun than me now! ”
