A day at the end of 555 in the Bran calendar.

The dying king of Bran did not die, and the miracle of light, which is rare in a century, did not come, and the front line full of flames, the Northern Wilderness did not break through the three major armies of the front line in one fell swoop...... It's a normal day.

If you insist on saying that it is a little special, it is because the New Year is approaching, and the faces of civilians in other worlds are more heartfelt, and after a busy year and a few months of reserves, they can finally have a slightly more comfortable New Year......

However, although this date is not known to everyone on the mainland, and it will not even be for a long time in the future, all this does not affect its status. Because, history will remember today!

......

The dark moon is faint, and the stars are low. Under the dark curtain of the sky, in the mountains that are faintly visible in the distance, from time to time there are a few long strange voices heard from afar, that is, like a lonely old wolf howling at the moon. It's like a cold wind roaring through the valley.

While the heavens and the earth were dark, there were a few fires shining in the mountains. Needless to say, the climate in the north is really not generally cold. But behind this leeward hill, piles of people gathered around the campfire without shelter, laughing happily from time to time. What brings them warmth is not only the burning bonfire, but more importantly, the delicious taste of the pot of red soup boiling on the bonfire......

"Well, it's almost, you can eat it...... I'm going to wipe it, I'm civil, there's a lady there, can you stop being so shitty? Can you ...... Say you, David, if you dare to fork two pieces of meat with one fork, let me stay. ”

"Sizzle, ah......h It's your sword skills that can't be used. The two pieces of meat are connected. ”

"Ugh. I'm not good at swordsmanship? It's the other thing you do, come and fight it alone...... Leave me some, Nima, and grab the pot again...... Hey, hello Chief Losha!"

Ignore it, "Haha, save it, boss, your trick is useless......"

The voice did not fall. A rather majestic female voice sounded: "Hehe, everyone is here." Oh, eating hot pot?"

"Uh......" Everyone moved collectively in their hands, turned their heads in surprise, and the four fields were vast, except for the companions who were grabbing meat not far away, how could there be any shadows.

Turning his head again, he couldn't cry or laugh, "Don, you, you, you...... What about you!"

"Yes. The boss is too obscene! Isn't it just a bit of meat, and the ventriloquist has come out. Where's the festival?"

"Temperance, you've eaten early!" Eun ...... replied simply, followed by a series of swallowing sounds.

“......”

There was a lively battle of mouths and vigorous snatching, and the scene subsided a little until the red soup did not roll out a little bit of meat and vegetables.

With the speed of his hand, Tang En grabbed a piece of vegetables from Zuihou and swallowed it with satisfaction: "Well, it tastes good...... Rice trims the slices of meat, David chops the vegetables, ready for the next round. ”

It's just a pot, and naturally it's not enough for the people here to eat. And the reason why David and Mithew were called to start was because in addition to Donne, there were Josia, Frey, and Tyton. These people all get along with Don as friends, so they can only wronged David and the two.

Don looked around, and everyone looked at the bonfire in a daze, or at the slices of meat falling as quickly as the wind in Mixiu's hands, with a distracted expression, but their eyes were unfocused. Compared with the excitement just now, the scene is a little deserted now.

Donne, of course, knew why, and shook the jar in his hand at Frey, who looked sad on the other side of the campfire, and the latter came back to his senses, chuckled, raised the jar in his hand, and poured it up.

"What are your plans?"

The question was asked without a beginning or end, but everyone present knew the meaning of it, Frey wiped the wine stains from his mouth, and groaned slightly, with a complicated expression: "To be honest, I don't know either...... Well, how do you say that? I joined the army as a teenager to feed myself and not starve to death. After staying for more than ten years, I was lucky enough to crawl out of the pile of dead people many times. At that time, I felt that I would stay on the battlefield for the rest of my life until I died in battle. Or if you're unlucky and your leg is cut off or something, then exchange your credit for compensation and find a rich man on a farm to be a molesting maid...... Don't laugh, this should be fine. With the merits of the Thunder Spear Breaking Team at that time, it was enough for me to spend the rest of my life richly. ”

After a pause, he shook his head, "Later, I ran into that incident and went to prison." He was lucky enough not to die and entered the mine. At that time, I didn't have any ideas, I just thought that I would die here in this life, and this stay would be more than ten years...... I haven't set foot on the frontline land for more than ten years, I haven't seen the Northern Barbarians, and I didn't expect to get old and old......"

"Brother Frey, in fact, you are not old, at most you can only be considered middle-aged. Josia suddenly said in a coquettish voice.

David's eyes narrowed, and he continued, "Yes! And the older Brother Frey gets, the more masculine he becomes." Hehe, I've heard that there are a lot of pretty widows in Dawning City who have inquired about you, and some little girls or something, tsk. ”

"Oh......"

In the unclear protracted tone, Frey suddenly couldn't bear it, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Rumors, they're all rumors...... Well, where did I just go? Oh, I didn't expect that I would walk back to the starting point again when I am nearly middle-aged. But since there is such an opportunity...... Well, I think I'll go back. Even if you just go to the place where your brothers died, you can feel a lot more at ease. ”

"I think the same way as Big Frey. Tyton and Frey touched the jar, raised their heads and took a sip, then grinned, "But I'm only hoping to kill the barbarians again." haha, fighting with the Bran soldiers, although they can also do it, but they always feel uncomfortable, or the barbarian's basin-sized head is fun to chop off!"

Tang En raised the wine jar: "This is a good way to listen to the spirit, come, everyone is done!"

"Dry!" everyone raised their cans and swallowed their drinks.

"Ah......" With a sip of wine, Don turned to Josia with slightly red cheeks beside him and asked, "So, the result of this negotiation is that the Grey Army sends troops to the front?"

Josia nodded, "There are a few others, but the main thing is this." Well, the first batch will go at least 30,000 people. ”

"Oh, it's not a loss, it's a loss for them to think about it. With a noncommittal laugh, Don casually threw away the empty wine can. Watch it roll all the way down the hill. I guess I ran into something halfway through. Bang and shatter.

That's right, this is the agreement reached by the noble negotiating group with Losha and others. The Greys got a set of conditions, as well as the three parliamentary votes. What needs to be paid is to drive 30,000 troops to the front line and resist the attack of the Northern Wilderness tribes together with the regular soldiers.

I have to say, this is indeed a very compromise proposal. It is impossible for the Grey Army to disband the army, this is clear to everyone. But if it is sent to the battlefield to kill two birds with one stone, the nobles do not have to worry about having such an unstable group of blasting crystals in the rear. It can also enhance the combat effectiveness of the front line, and it is a good calculation.

On the side of the Gray Army, even if the army goes to the battlefield, the ownership has not changed, and it is still the army of the Gray Army. Moreover, since he accepted so many benefits from Bran, he had to pay something, let alone deal with the barbarians who humiliated the civilians, which was unreasonable and unreasonable.

Hit it off!

......

"Don, what are you going to do?" Frey picked up the can and patted the seal off. Ask casually.

"Me?" Don raised his eyebrows, his long narrow eyes narrowed slightly. "Go, of course!"

It was so simple that Frey was a little surprised: "Uh, what are you for?"

Taking a sip of wine and smacking his lips, Tang En replied casually: "There is a person who is not pleasing to the eye is jumping around on the front line, I will kill him in the past and come back...... Oh, the hot pot is almost ready. Well, I'll try it!"

Watching the red soup tumble, Don En quickly stabbed out the fork, put a piece of meat into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and handed the fork again, "Well, it's not good yet, I'll taste it again...... It's not enough to taste, I'll try it again......"

Looking at this fork after fork, Frey opened his mouth, and Zuihou shook his head, his face speechless.

"The boss is cheating, everyone!"

With a shout from David, a new round of food grabbing wars started again.

Josia didn't move, she was still thinking about what Don En said just now, she looked sideways at Don En, who was concentrating on grabbing food, and pursed her lips, a little thoughtful.

When Don En gave her the funds for the secret agency before, he had asked her to help investigate the movements of a group of people from the Temple of Light, and Zuihou's group went to the front line...... Combined with Donne's previous statement that there was an enemy from the Temple of Light, everything fell into place.

After figuring it out, Josia looked a little worried. She has always believed in Don's strength, and even worshiped it blindly. When the secret agency was in trouble before, the first thing she thought of was Don, and when she saw him really appear in front of her, her heart suddenly settled down. But the Temple of Light ...... Such a behemoth would become an enemy, and the mere thought of it would be overwhelming. Touching the threshold of the empty level, it can be described as amazing, but zuihou is not like a dog!

Don didn't see Josia's expression change, and seeing that she didn't move her fork, he asked suspiciously, "Lose weight?"

"Uh, what's the ...... I was just full. ”

"Oh. Undoubting him, Don turned his head to stare at the hot pot again, and quickly handed out the fork from time to time.

Soon, the red soup was still boiling, but the pot of sliced meat and vegetables had been wiped out, and only Teton was still pulling it with his fork, looking unwilling.

It can be said that in these two battles, Tyton suffered the most. Grabbing things is about quick eyes, and for that alone, he can't compare to Don and Michaeu. The rest of Frey and David, although they are also liliang-type, have a strong strength that overwhelms him. As for the previous Josia, that is to be excluded, there are people who grab everything in the Tyton fork, but will someone grab Josia?

"I didn't stay with you if I knew it earlier, it's too much of a loss...... Huh?" Just as Tyton was desperately picking up the fork, he was stunned to find that the tip of the fork had been pierced with a slice of haode meat.

It should have been stuck to the bottom of the pot before, and it was pulled by a fork like this, so it was naturally fished up. Either way, Tyton was overjoyed, and picked up the fork to put it in his mouth.

However, before the meat slice completely left the soup, Tyton only felt a black shadow flash in front of him, and then found that the meat slice on his fork was missing. Immediately, the two empty forks came quickly, in no particular order, ding, and crashing together.

"I wipe ...... Michau!"

In the roar, Mi Xiu looked calm, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if the person who shot just now was not him. I have to say that Mixiu's hand speed is extremely terrifying, and it is really easy to snatch something from Teton's hands.

But Mixiu's calm face didn't last long, and in an instant, another empty fork came first and intercepted his fork. As soon as his face changed, Mi Xiu didn't need to look up to know that the person who made the shot must be Tang En, and only he could catch up with his hand speed.

"Haha, young man......"

Sizzle...... In an instant, there were phantoms on the surface of the pot, and Mi Xiu shook his wrist as quickly as if he was facing a great enemy, drawing various irregular arcs, intending to avoid the shadowy empty fork.

"Know ......"

David, Frey, and Tyton on the side looked at the phantom in front of them, which was difficult to distinguish between real and fake, and they were all a little dumbfounded. This kind of small-scale manipulation and transfer, they really can't get involved at all.

"Laugh to zuihou ......"

There was a slight bang, and the phantom disappeared, and the pieces of meat on Mixiu's fork disappeared. Donn's empty fork stabbed the meat precisely as it fell into the soup.

"It's a laugh, ahhh......h

Unconsciously chanting, Don blinked, looked at the empty fork in front of him, and then saw that the pot noodles were shining white, the cold air was rising, and the meat slices were set in the middle like amber......

Despair roared,

"Joe, Hee, Ya, I don't want you to play like this...... The bottom of the pot is frozen by you, how can we eat hot pot!!"

............ (To be continued......)
