Chapter 48: Confusion
After an argument between Cage and Renault, there was an unusual silence in the council hall.
In the huge room, even the needle landing on the ground is quiet, and it can be heard clearly. There is a sense of silence and oppression throughout the space.
The fiery red sun was finally swallowed up by the mountains in the west, and the last rays of light began to dim, and only the blue crystal lenses on the stage reflected a faint and cold light.
Report !!
Suddenly there was loud singing and shouting outside the house, and the slightly hurried voice was mixed with a clear panic.
The eyes of everyone in the room invariably looked at Huang at the top.
"Hey."
There was a faint sigh again. Huang frowned, raised his hand, and said lightly.
"Come in."
"Whew."
"Yes!"
The sound of relief that gathered together and the answering voice of the herald outside the door were sandwiched together and came out at the same time. This made Huang's brow furrow even tighter.
With the voice, the sweaty herald ran in from the door in a hurry, and fell to his knees on the ground with a loud cry, and the sound of a big gulp of cold sweat continued to drip down, so that he couldn't even speak for a while.
Huang slowly stood up and walked to the bottom of the stage, staring at the soldier with dark blue lenses, and a shrill voice came from behind the mask.
"Remembering your duty, Mortal Soldier! Although you are not a direct combatant of the Martial Regiment, you still belong to the glorious Griffin Martial Regiment, don't lose the glory of the Empire! ”
The words of reprimand made the herald below stunned, the god-like commander actually remembered his name, yes, but it was just a few corpses, what do I look like now.
Fan Lin immediately stood up on one knee, meticulously adjusted his posture, the sound of breathing gradually subsided incredibly, and he resolutely gave an imperial military salute and shouted.
"Yes, Grand Commander! The glory of the empire is my life! ”
Huang nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, tell the news, Soldier Vanlin."
Fan Lin straightened his waist and continued to speak loudly.
"Yes, Archon. The thirty-second squad of the Imperial Blood Dragon Army, which had been searching, had been found. ”
"What!! Where, it must be lazy to run somewhere, and even ask our griffin martial arts group to find it in person, and we must punish them for a felony of dereliction of duty when they turn back. ”
Cage heard the news of the search, and hurriedly stood up from behind him, he had never believed that the Blood Dragon Thirty-two Squad would be attacked, and now that there was news, it was obvious that his statement had been confirmed, and this was a good opportunity to establish his ability in front of the Grand Commander. So he immediately asked eagerly.
Except for Renault's angry desire to say something, Huang didn't seem to have much of a problem with his approach, just glanced at him lightly, and motioned for the soldier to continue.
But Fan Lin's face suddenly turned pale, and his loud voice gradually became smaller.
"My lord, I'm afraid you can't convict them of any of their crimes. There are a total of twenty-four people in the thirty-two squads of the Blood Dragon Army... Completely extinguished. There were no living mouths, twenty-three of them were killed by one blow, and even the horses that sat down had their heads twisted. Captain.. Captain Rex-sama,He.。。 All the bones in his body were crushed to pieces, and when he was found, along with his warhorse... It has been mixed into a rotten pulp of meat puree. ”
As if recalling the terrifying scene at that time, Fan Lin's face became even more snow-white, as if all the blood had receded, and a strong feeling of vomiting flooded his throat again, and he was finally forced to press back.
When he inadvertently dug up the pile of corpses from the woods, he and the search team next to him even thought that it was a living hell. The rotting corpses twisted into a thousand strange ways were pale and bare to the ground, making them vomit all the things they had for a few days, and then the madness that did not dare to stay any longer retreated.
Cage's face turned pale, and every word of the herald seemed to him as a vicious mouth, fanning all his speculation and pride. Thoughtlessly, he retreated to his seat, muttering indistinctly.
"Impossible, how could it be, he's just an incompetent waste!"
Even Renault, who was on the side, lost the mood to continue to attack his opponent, and before the news came, even he only thought that at most, the cunning guy used some kind of strategy to drag the thirty-two teams somewhere, and even killed or injured one or two at most.
But the whole team was wiped out, almost all of them were killed with one blow, and even the mounts were not spared. The bones of the captain's corpse were actually pinched and shattered, and since the soldier finally used the word pinch, it was obviously an injury caused by his bare hands.
The strength required here, and the ruthlessness and ruthlessness of the kill. Renault's heart was cramping wildly, and he asked himself if he was put on the opposite scene, he could only be ruthlessly pinched off his fragile bones. At that moment, he felt that he was not facing a person, but an ancient beast, crazy and cruel.
But only God knows, after the fat man killed someone at that time, he vomited on the spot with a huge injury, and almost didn't give a direct account for his little life.
In the uproar around him, only Huang faintly did not respond, and the mask continued to be terrifying and cold, as if he had expected it. With a slight wave of his hand, the sound of metal resounded in the oppressive room.
"Okay, I see, let's go down!"
"Yes, Grand Commander!"
Fan Lin's face was pale, and after saluting, he resigned in embarrassment.
Huang glanced at his subordinates with all faces, and the six captains under his command only followed him this time only Renault and Cage. The other four captains are still guarding the imperial capital, and the reason why they will follow this time is just that they are just a little interested in this nobleman who can escape from Hughes, but I didn't expect that the other party really didn't let him have any disappointment, and even far exceeded his hopes, what a good means.
Compared to him, these subordinates of his own are like piles of garbage.
Huang felt that in just a few days, his sigh seemed to be more than the sum of the past days.
Turning around and walking back to the highest seat, Huang continued to sit down lightly, staring indifferently into the distance with his chin on his back, thinking about something.
Once again, there was an oppressive silence in the room.
I don't know how long it took, but the sky was getting darker, and suddenly there was a frenzy outside the room.
"Report!!"
"Come in!"
Huang frowned and waved his hand in command.
"Newspaper. . . Report to the Grand Commander, the third squad of the griffins, did not return!! Contact.. Nothing responded after contacting! ”
It was Fan Lin who ran in again with a panicked face, the cold sweat on his face was obviously more dense than the one just now, and he lost the news, and the meaning of the back was simply so that he didn't dare to continue to imagine.
When he received this report, his only reaction was to cover his forehead for a weak **.
"What!!"
The godless Cage jumped out of his chair like a furry mad dog, glaring at him and asking loudly.
"You said that the griffin regiment also appeared in the missing squad, impossible!!"
This time, even Huang could no longer sit still, the griffin creature would be unable to see at night, and its eye structure would not be able to adapt to complete darkness. So every day in the middle of the night, all the search teams will return, and then they will be replaced by the cavalry team in the city to continue the search. At such a time, the consequence of not coming back, and not hearing back from contact, can only be one.
Huang stood up from his chair with a thud, and the nail leaves on his body were cracked, and the deafening metal sound easily penetrated the panicked room.
"Give me the map!"
In an instant, all the blind and chaotic crowd seemed to have found the center. The map was hastily presented. All kinds of people stood in their positions, and the appearance of the elite of the empire was finally slightly reflected at this time.
