The atmosphere in the air was a little frozen, and the crossbowmen all gritted their teeth and stared in the direction from which the hoofs had come, their tired eyes shining with extreme hatred. The full-text and ad-free novels are all biquge.info on Aishang Novel Network

Listening to the sound of hooves getting closer and closer, Halleton pointed with his thumb in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came from, and said in a low voice: "Attention, everyone, it's coming." After speaking, he turned around and made a vigilant gesture to the mercenaries on standby under the city, well, at this moment, a riding shadow appeared in everyone's sight.

The knight on the horse was Tusu, who had come by order, and he wore the black leather armor peculiar to the Flame Cavalry, shoulder-length with a black belt tied up and neatly combed behind his ears, and a black leather shield on his left forearm, which was small and round. The whole person exudes an indescribable ferocious and wild atmosphere.

Seeing that the city wall was already crowded with people and the lights were bright, Tusu urgently reined in his horse, stopped in the long neighing of the horse and made a circle on the spot.

"Good riding. Looking at the heroic Tusu, Mayor Kate secretly praised in his heart, although his martial arts skills are not outstanding, his eyesight is not bad, "This young man has at least the level of a high-level warrior." Immediately, Runrun lowered his mouth and shouted, "The old man is Kate from Luoyue Town, I don't know why my friends visit late at night?"

"This old man is Mayor Kate, and he seems to have a bit of grace. With the magic torches burning on the city wall, Tusu also saw Kate's appearance clearly, and immediately pressed his hand on his chest and saluted, "Tusu, the commander of the Flame Cavalry Battalion under the Falcon Division, has met Mayor Kate. ”

The man on the city wall had never heard of the heroic exploits of the Falcon Division, and when he heard this, he was stunned, and his face was in disbelief. Mayor Kate was no exception, his breathing was noticeably heavier, and a burst of excitement flashed through his bloodshot eyes, and he exclaimed, "You--you are from the Falcon Division?"

"Yes, Mayor Kate. Tusu, who has become the focus of attention, agreed loudly, his demeanor was calm, and he had the air of a battlefield after a catastrophe.

"Mayor ――――――" Harreton wanted to say something, but was stopped by Kate waving his hand, he knew that this was an extraordinary time, and he couldn't help but have a long heart, hesitated slightly, and stomped on the wall and said calmly, "Camp Chief, then why are you here?"

Tusu rode forward a few steps and said calmly: "Mayor Ket, I'm here to tell you that the Thundering Thieves have been defeated by us, so please don't worry about it." ”

"What?, the Thundering Thieves were destroyed?" Mayor Kate's heart seemed to be hit hard by a heavy hammer, and the shock and joy were lifted, and he forced himself to be excited, and reluctantly calmed down: "Battalion Commander, what you said is true?"

Tusu can understand Mayor Kate's feelings at this time, the reason is simple, only those who have experienced the battle can better understand the feeling of desperate situation. He smiled and tilted his head, his face so calm that there was no expression, he just stared at the people on the wall quietly, and then raised his gun in his right hand and pointed it very hard at the sky. This gesture is common to the big 6 and represents two words, victory.

Tusu's gesture brought everyone's blood together, and the mercenaries defending the city on the city walls, including Harleton, burst into earth-shattering cheers and shouts, which was the first hopeful vent after experiencing a duel between life and death. The prestige of the falcon, the victory gesture, and the shouts of the enemy camp just now made the exhausted mercenaries fully accept the fact that the enemy had been routed. Harreton's tiger eyes flashed with tears of excitement, he still had self-control, and some of the mercenaries had tears on their faces.

"Open the door, open the door. Her whole body twitched, and Kate suddenly woke up from a nightmare, and shouted to the city, her voice trembling after overly surprised. After a dull rolling sound, the heavy iron door was opened, slowly, like a beast with gears gasping for breath. A team of mercenaries walked out quickly, standing solemnly on both sides of the city gate, the atmosphere was quiet, but there was an extreme grandeur.

"Camp Commander Tu, hurry, hurry, please inside, by the way, what about the others?" Mayor Kate, who walked out of the city gate, walked quickly to Tusu, who had already fallen off the horse, and said impatiently. He was followed by Harreton and his baby daughter, Kaylin.

After Tusu saluted, he smiled, "Mayor Kate, I still won't go in, and the boss is still waiting for me to reply?"

Mayor Kate choked slightly, and asked a little suspiciously, "Boss." ”

Seeing that he had missed his mouth, Tu Su hurriedly explained with a smile, "The boss is the commander of our division, I grew up with him since I was a child, and I can't change it for a while." ”

Although Luoyue Town is located in the middle of nowhere, Kate, as the mayor of the town, is still relatively clear about what happened on the Pami Plains. He knew that the Falcon Division was founded by the white-clothed hunter Ling Hu Jue, who was rumored to be on the plains, and when he heard that the young god of war he had loved for a long time was here, the look on his face was immediately as happy as a long drought and rain, and his tiger eyes lit up, and he said urgently, "General Ling Hu is also here, where is he now?"

Tusu glanced at Kailin's slightly heroic and pretty face and said, "The commander of the Linghu Division is now clearing the camp of the thieves, and we will stay there at night. Mayor Kate, I've already brought the words, so don't leave it at that. With that, he was ready to pedal on his horse.

"Wait. Mayor Kate grabbed Tusu, his eyes were red, and he said in a loud voice: "Battalion Commander Tu, the old man went with you, you saved the lives of 30,000 people in Luoyue Town, such a great favor, the old man must thank General Linghu in person." ”

Tusu wanted to refuse, but he could see the resolute look on Mayor Kate's face, and he knew that he couldn't postpone it, "Anyway, the boss didn't say that he wouldn't let them go." He nodded immediately, "Alright then, Mayor Kate." "I'm going too. Seeing that his father had asked his men to lead the horses in the town, Kailin's silver bell-like voice sounded urgently, and a pair of big beautiful eyes swept over Tusu's body.

"Don't mess around, I haven't seen Camp Commander Tu yet. Kate said in a low voice, then turned her face sideways to Tusu and explained, "This is a little girl, Kailin, who has been spoiled by her old husband since she was a child, and she has lost her courtesy, so don't be surprised by the battalion commander of Wangtu." ”

"It's Miss Kaylin, but what about this one?" and Kailin exchanged salutes, and Tusu turned his face back to the wild and brave Harleton, for whom a brave warrior was far more seductive than a beautiful girl.

"Look at me—I've forgotten that this is Harleton, the deputy head of the Longarrow Mercenary Regiment. ”

Seeing Mayor Kate mention himself, Harretton stepped forward and saluted, "The Falcon is prestigious, like thunder, and when I saw it today, it was really a hero." ”

Tusu didn't expect a seemingly reckless person like Harreton to speak in a gentlemanly manner, he was really unseemly, and he solemnly returned the salute, "Deputy Head Ha, you are polite--"

After a few polite sentences, Tusu saw that the mounts of the three had been pulled out, and immediately bowed down and asked, "Mayor Kate, can you go?"

Kate took the reins handed over, jumped on the horse, and said, "If you can see a hero like General Linghu, the old man can't wait for a long time, let's go." After speaking, he patted the horse's buttocks, and in a terrible long neigh, he galloped away.

It was only three miles from Luoyue Town to the thieves' camp, and in a moment, Tusu and Kate and the others had already arrived less than 100 meters away from the camp gate. "Mayor Kate, please come with me. Seeing that the camp gate was close in front of him, Tusu did not ride his horse directly, but changed direction and detoured to the right.

"What the hell?" then Karin muttered, a sly smile on her pretty face, "I should see today if that hunter is as handsome as the rumors say?"

Inside the barracks, some of the collapsed tents had been re-erected, and a few silver magic crystal lamps were hanging, emitting a faint light. Dozens of campfires have also been lit, and the smoke has added a lot of life to the otherwise bleak night. Nearly a hundred fiery cavalry were digging a pit in the northwest corner of the barracks with their captives, apparently preparing to bury the thousands of corpses.

Linghu was not idle, he was directing dozens of soldiers to load bags of grain into the car, ready to take it away tomorrow. "Boss, I'm back. At the gate of the camp, Tusu's shout came, and Ling Hu Jue turned his head to look, only to see the four riding shadows, already galloping towards him! At a distance of 5 zhang from him, he slowly stopped, and the other three people on horseback and Tusu made a move, quickly and neatly turned over and landed.

Linghu Jue saw that outsiders were coming, and on the grand walk with grace, he said solemnly: "I'm back, who are these people?"

Before Tusu could introduce him, Mayor Kate had already taken the lead and bowed and saluted, "Kate, the mayor of Luoyue, has seen General Linghu. On behalf of all the townspeople, I would like to thank the General for saving his life. ”

Ling Hu Jue hurriedly held up Kate's bent body with both hands, and said freely, "Mayor Kate, as the emperor's **, it is our duty to exterminate the thieves, so we don't need to say thank you." ”

Mayor Kate's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, looking at Ling Hu Jue with a white shirt fluttering and a smile on his face, a wave of heat swelled in his chest, the corners of his mouth were buzzing, and he said in a weak voice: "General Linghu -- really---"

Linghu stopped Mayor Kate's words of gratitude with a smile, and then pointed to the tent next to him, "Let's go inside and talk." After saying that, he and Mayor Kate walked in hand in hand, completely unaware of the almost nymphomaniac gaze behind him, "Wow, it's really handsome." ”

The camp tent was covered with a thick wool felt blanket, and there were several low tables on the blanket, and there was a row of weapon racks on both sides, but there were still dark purple blood stains on the inside of the tent, and there were two people in the camp - Mans and Xiaoyue, who were arranging the bedding, it seemed that this camp tent should be prepared for Ling Hujue. Seeing Linghu Jue leading people in, they put down their work and stood quietly aside. Ling Hu Jue nodded to the two of them gratefully, and beckoned, "Come, come, everyone sit down, Xiaoyue, Mans, don't be busy, let me introduce you, this is Mayor Kate of Luoyue Town." After speaking, he pointed to the two people who were bowing and introduced them separately, "This is Camp Commander Mansi, and this is Miss Xiaoyue." ”

Mayor Kate also bowed to his chest when he heard this, and saluted, "The two girls are fine, Kate is polite." The tone of his voice was unusually sincere, which also showed his gratitude to the Falcon Division.

"She's the battalion commander. Kailin looked at Mans in disbelief, and raised her hand intentionally or unintentionally to pluck the gold, and so, on the snow-white wrist, a black mole the size of a bean was impressively reflected in Ling Fox's eyes!

Seeing that Linghu was paying attention to the person behind him, Mayor Kate preemptively said, "This is the little girl Kailin, this is the deputy head of Harreton of the Longarrow Mercenary Regiment, they have long admired the prestige of General Linghu, and they have to come to get acquainted with me." ”

So, the two sides greeted each other and saluted, Ling Hu Jue had heard Cole talk about Hareton, saying that this person was a good hand among the mercenaries in the Pami Plains, so after greeting Harleton, he said a few words: "Deputy Chief Hareton, I often hear Cole mention you, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary." ”

Linghu absolutely Halletton's admiration made the deputy regiment commander who had just experienced a bloody battle feel quite warm, and felt even more glorious, he took a step forward and said earnestly: "General Linghu is too famous, I can't imagine that you and Cole know each other? I haven't heard from him for a long time, where is he now?"

With a deep smile in his face, Ling Hu Jue sat down and said sincerely, "We don't just know each other, Cole is one of us, he is now in Red Moon City, and I invite Deputy Head Harreton to have a chance to go over and catch up on his behalf." ”

Harretton rubbed his hands together and said boldly, "Okay, I'll go." After saying that, he burst out laughing, and the atmosphere became enthusiastic in an instant.

Mayor Kate has been staring at Ling Hujue, and in this short contact, he has deeply experienced the other party's peculiar temperament and vast and profound wisdom. Looking at the smiling Ling Hujue, he felt a little distant and hazy, and a majestic and vast feeling, as if he was looking at a high mountain hidden in the clouds, so towering and elegant, so firm and calm, but containing unfathomable power.

"Maybe he's the guy I'm looking for. Mayor Kate suddenly had an unusually strong feeling in her heart. Ever since the Thundering Thieves besieged Luoyue Town, he realized that Luoyue Town was no longer capable of protecting itself in this troubled world. It is impossible to ask for the protection of the empire, and it is unrealistic to hire a large mercenary group, the only feasible thing now is to find a person with enough strength to ensure the peace of Luoyue Town in the future, Ling Hu Jue and the Falcon Division are undoubtedly his best choice. This is also the main reason why he is in a hurry to see Ling Hu Jue, he wants to know if Ling Hu Jue is a person worthy of trust, now he is relieved, but the other worry is getting stronger and stronger, "Will he accept it?"

Ling Hu Jue noticed Mayor Kate's strange look, thinking that he was worried that the Thundering Thieves would make a comeback, so he couldn't help but open his mouth and comforted, "Mayor Kate, there is always a solution to the matter, although the Thundering Thieves are numerous, but after all, they are not a real army, they are good at sneaking attacks and ambushes, and it is not okay to attack the city and plunder the pool, as long as you hurry up and thicken the city wall, I think the Thundering Thieves will not dare to commit lightly in the future, and you don't have to worry too much." ”

Mayor Kate was still thinking about how to open his mouth to Ling Hu Jue, but he didn't expect Ling Hu Jue to send it to the door himself, so he sighed, the sense of worry between his eyebrows became even stronger, and he stared straight at Ling Hu Jue, and the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch slightly, "Don't hide it from the general, now Luoyue Town has almost no soldiers to fight, the Long Arrow Mercenary Regiment has suffered heavy casualties, and even the militia organized by the town itself is almost dead and wounded, to be honest, if General Ling Hu doesn't break the siege in time, tomorrow morning, I'm afraid I won't be in this world." After speaking, he sighed again, as if there was indescribable sadness and helplessness.

Infected by his affection, Kailin, who was sitting beside him, suddenly felt that her father seemed to be much older, and the sadness in her heart also arose, her eyes were full of tears, and her delicate body trembled slightly, without the heroic appearance just now.

Harreton's face revealed extreme hatred, but this hatred was hidden deep in the gloom, with the current strength of the Long Arrow Mercenary Group and said that revenge, even self-preservation was a problem.

Looking at the expressions of Kate and the others, Ling Hu Jue knew that this was when people's hearts were more than enough but not enough, and it was difficult to let go of their wishes, so they had these pessimistic expressions that made people mourn.

Ling Hu Jue hesitated, not knowing how to speak, but Mayor Kate stood up anxiously at the right time, sat down in embarrassment, and stared at Ling Hu Jue sitting opposite him as if asking for help, a look of wanting to speak and stopping made Ling Hu Jue also sympathetic, he raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips, and said sincerely, "Mayor Kate, if there is anything you want us to help with, please just say, we will do our best if we can do it." ”

Seeing that Ling Hu Jue had already been set, Mayor Kate climbed up the pole, smiled at Ling Hu Jue a little embarrassed, and said with a little hesitation, "I thought of a way to do it once and for all, but I was afraid that the general and others would misunderstand us as opportunistic, so I didn't dare to speak." ”

Looking at Mayor Kate's expectant eyes, Ling Hu Jue suddenly felt uneasy, as if he had fallen into a trap, although there was no malicious intent, but he was also worried, but the words had already been spoken, so he could only continue, "Mayor Kate, you will see the outside world when you say this, we know you very well about your person, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

What Mayor Kate wanted was Ling Hujue's words, so he hurriedly stood up with his clothes in his clothes, walked hurriedly to Ling Hujue, and knelt on one knee with a "brush". None of the people present expected Mayor Kate to come to such a hand, especially Kailin, who stood up with a disgraced face, not knowing what his father was doing.

"Mayor Kate, what are you doing here?" Ling Hujie hurriedly stood up, and after avoiding it, he was about to bend down and help Mayor Kate up. It's no wonder that Ling Hu was terrified, kneeling on one knee and only using the etiquette used by subordinates when they saw their superiors on formal occasions, so he couldn't afford it.

"General Linghu, you listen to me after I finish speaking. Mayor Kate blocked Ling Hu Jue with his hand, bowed his head and still knelt, and said in an extremely heavy tone, "Since the establishment of Luoyue Town by our ancestors, because of its remote location, it has not been controlled by the empire, today, for the sake of the peace of tens of thousands of people in Luoyue Town, I am willing to hand over Luoyue Town to General Linghu. ”

"Ahh Linghu really didn't expect that this was the method that Mayor Kate said, but he could also understand why Mayor Kate did this, the reason was very simple, because now on the Pami Plains, in addition to the army of Crow City, the only thing that can resist the thundering thieves is the Falcon Division stationed in Red Moon City. For the sake of the peace of Luoyue Town in the future, Mayor Kate can only do this.

But can Linghu definitely accept it? Not to mention that it will take advantage of the danger of others, it is also a question whether the Falcon Division can allocate troops to protect Luoyue Town. Thoughts flashed through Linghu's mind, and he set his sights on Kaylin and Harleton, hoping that they could help persuade Mayor Kate to give up the idea.

But what would Kaylin and Halleton say now? The former was clever enough to know that his father's idea, though it seemed to be a loss, was actually taking advantage of it, which not only solved the urgent need, but also provided another space for future exhibitions. What's more, handing over Luoyue Town to Linghu Jue, then there will be more opportunities to meet in the future, and Kai Lin will not stop such a good thing.

As for Harleton, he had long known that Mayor Kate had this idea, but at that time he had not yet determined that it was Linghu, although he was still a little afraid of the future days of the Long Arrow Mercenary Group, but in such a form, under the mood of his master, what ability did he have to comfort and persuade him!

Seeing that both of them bowed their heads and were silent, Ling Hu Jue could only refuse to say to himself after helping Mayor Kate up: "Mayor Kate, this matter is very important, I'm afraid it can't be decided in a moment, so let's wait for me to come back from Crow City, we will be discussing, what do you think?"

Mayor Kate knew that this was Ling Hujue's delaying tactic, of course, he also understood Ling Hujue's distress, but he wouldn't let go so lightly, after all, he couldn't find a more suitable person except for Ling Hujue, so he said in a different way, " General Linghu, let's not say anything else, after hundreds of years of construction, Luoyue Town has today's situation, and has accumulated a lot of wealth, if it falls into the hands of those thieves, I will not be blind, especially the high-quality iron ore produced behind the town, will further fuel the momentum of the thieves, so that the Pami Plain will never be peaceful. ”

Mayor Kate's words came to Ling Fox's heart, if he didn't take over Luoyue Town, then Luoyue Town would undoubtedly fall into the hands of the Thundering Thieves, and he didn't want to see such a result. Thinking about it, Ling Hu Jue really felt a dilemma at the moment.

Seeing that Linghu was in a dilemma, Xiao Yue stood up, she gently and skillfully saluted and said, "Brother Linghu, since Mayor Kate has already said this, we can't watch those thieves act recklessly, I think it's better to repair a book, and ask Big Brother West Asia to send some capable people over to help Deputy Head Harleton train the civilians in the town, as for now, let me and Tusu stay first, anyway, my affairs are not in a hurry, and when the people sent by Big Brother West Asia arrive, it will not be too late for us to go." ”

Xiao Yue said this unhurriedly, but handled all aspects of the problem very properly, this is her cleverness, she knows that Linghu must not refuse, and she is embarrassed to accept it. So she stood up on behalf of Linghu Jue to make a proposal, to eliminate the suspicion of taking advantage of people's danger in a more covert way, and then used extremely practical methods to establish a good relationship with Hareton's Long Arrow Mercenary Group, and indeed solved the current crisis in Luoyue Town. The originally extremely sensitive and heavy thing made her say this, and it became simple and bright, which had to make Kate and the others look at it differently, and have a new evaluation of the strength and connotation of the Falcon Division itself.

Mayor Kate stared at Satsuki with surprise and approval for a while, and then said to Linghujue, "Miss Satsuki said well, I think it's okay." General Linghu. ”

Ling Hu Jue nodded, and looked at Xiao Yue again with an approving gaze, since leaving Red Moon City, in the past few days, Xiao Yue has lost some weight, but she has become more white and tender, she stands there slimly, just like a well-balanced daffodil, very beautiful.

"Tusu is really blessed, to get such a good girl as Xiaoyue, no wonder Xiluo is so envious, always clamoring for me to introduce them, and they all aim at Xiaoyue, where do I go to find it?" Ling Hu Jue remembered the joke that the brothers made when they were together some time ago, and his heart was a little funny, but his eyes fell on Kailin's body intentionally or unintentionally, and it seemed that he still kept in mind the tasks given to him by the brothers.

"Then it's decided, General Linghu, from now on, Luoyue Town will become part of Red Moon City. Kate was especially happy that the sorrow that had been haunting him for so many days had been completely resolved, and he felt a lot lighter and laughed loudly.

Outside the tent, it was still dark at night, but there was less sadness, more hope, more longing, and more fish belly white in the eastern sky.
