Chapter Thirty-Nine: Others Called Brother Chun
Ruwich was also a northern city in the old Lincoln Empire, but it was located relatively far south relative to Zamp. According to Akers, in order to get more supplies, the leaders of those private soldiers led most of his men and women to Ruweich to grab supplies. Of course, Mother and Daughter Poznia were also taken away.
At this time, Ax was tied to a horse like a cargo by Zhao Nan, while Zhao Nan rode another horse to pull it and walked on the road to Ruweich.
Because of the dragon's invasion, you can see fleeing civilians on the road from time to time, ranging from ordinary people in ragged clothes to merchants with thousands of dollars in their pockets. In the same way, everyone's faces were full of panic and fear.
"Mr. Leonardo, I'm curious, how do you know my wife?" Seeing that he could not escape, Ax simply lay down on his horse, stretching his hands and feet as much as he could.
"She's not your wife anymore. Zhao Nan said expressionlessly.
β......γ Ackes snorted awkwardly before he said, "I'm curious how a character like you met Poznia, Pier is not a big city, and she's just a village woman." β
Zhao Nan glanced at him, he knew what Akers meant. Zhao Nan's strength Ax has seen it, and he alone entered the city lord's mansion and captured him alive, that kind of liliang is not something that ordinary people can show. In Ackes' mind, people with such means should usually be among the organs of state power and seek a half-official position.
"I'm sorry, but if you don't want to answer, you can ignore me. Seeing that Zhao Nan ignored him, Akers didn't dare to offend him while feeling angry in his heart, after all, his life was still in the hands of others.
"Actually, I just thought it was strange, Ms. Potsnia would choose you back then?
Akes's embarrassed expression suddenly froze, this question obviously poked the sore spot in his mind, he didn't answer Zhao Nan's question immediately, lowered his head, and let his head shrug on the horse.
Zhao Nan didn't care whether he answered or not, and whipped the horse, making the horse under his crotch run more cheerfully.
Suddenly, there was a heavy rain in the sky, and the rain fell to the ground, making a splash. The refugees on the side of the road let out a cry of embarrassment.
Zhao Nan frowned, clicked on the system backpack, and after a burst of blue light, a green-gray cloak fell on his body, and he tightened the hat on the cloak to cover his body.
The horses continued to gallop, and the rain fell violently.
The rain hit Axes mercilessly, drenching him into a soup chicken. However, this guy seems to be unusual, without the arrogance and arrogance of before, on the contrary, he crawls on the horse, motionless. If he hadn't felt the ups and downs of his body, Zhao Nan would have thought he was dead.
It's better to be dead......
Although Zhao Nan thought so, he couldn't kill Poznia until he found him.
The two of them probably traveled dozens of kilometers, and the rain in the sky was heavier, and there was even a little strong wind. Seeing that there were still more than ten kilometers away from Lu Weizhi City, Zhao Nan had to consider taking a break. Because the horses under him have begun to pant, and there is a blood bar on the horse's head that represents the health value, Zhao Nan has been in a hurry for a day, and its health has dropped to the red zone, if he insists on hurrying, it is estimated that the tragedy of running and killing the horse will happen again.
Randomly found a cave to hide from the wind and rain, Zhao Nan removed the cloak, and then sat on the ground. As for Ax, he was thrown aside.
"Hey, don't play dead. Zhao Nan saw that he hadn't spoken all the time, so he kicked him.
"Ahem......" Aks let out a violent coughing sound, just now his mouth and nose were filled with rainwater, and he kicked Zhao Nan and accidentally drank the rainwater.
After confirming that this guy was not dead, Zhao Nan took out some matches and wood from the system backpack and lit a bonfire.
"Mr. Leonardo. Ax didn't know when to get up and sit up, but because his hands and legs were tied up, it was very difficult to sit up. His hair was wet from the rain, and his handsome appearance looked very embarrassed.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Nan glanced at him, not knowing why this guy was talking to him at this time.
"I can answer your question now. Akers tilted his head against the cave wall.
"You can talk about it if you like, I don't care. β
Akers was silent for a while, half loud, and said, "Do you think that every man likes to abandon his wife and daughter?"
Zhao Nan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't speak.
"Fifteen years ago, I was neighbors with Poznia, and I had a good relationship with her, and she was already looking up to marry me at a very young age. Until the day we got married, I still remember her little face with a happy expression. Unfortunately, I was not satisfied with a simple home, and the marriage with Potsnia was actually just to prevaricate my parents' arrangement. They always liked me to continue with the grocery store at home and live with Poznia in peace. β
Speaking of this, Ax's face turned red, and he said in a somewhat excited tone: "However, I can't live like this for the rest of my life, I want to get ahead." So, after Poznia gave birth to Lili, I joined the army. I told Poznia to defend the country, haha...... She must have thought that I was a good young man who loved my country and family. Actually, I just want to be a big official in a state organ. My army was sent to the north to serve as a garrison, and at that time I was at war with the enemy forces of the neighboring countries for many years, and I hardly had time to return home. Even when my parents died that year, I didn't go back to see it......"
Akers lowered his head, his voice turned low, and said: "Over the years, I have not made any great achievements in the army, but even if I have established a military industry? A person like me, who has no power and no power, has wasted fifteen years of his youth, and can only be a small soldier in the garrison. Last year, when dragons invaded my country, I began to realize that my opportunity had come, and I thought that if I killed a dragon myself, then I would be a great dragon slayer. β
"Huh~!" Hearing that Akers was going to be a dragon slaying warrior, Zhao Nan couldn't help but laugh.
Akes didn't seem to care about Zhao Nan's sneer, instead, he faced Zhao Nan and said with a smile: "It's ridiculous, right? I actually wanted to slay dragons, I ran to those dragons and shouted without any effort, and as a result, I crawled to the ground like a worm, and they crushed the bodies of other soldiers and walked past me." I didn't dare to get up until they left...... From then on, I finally knew that I had been a soldier for 15 years, and I had been in vain. I began to give up, sink into the flesh of a woman, and climb to the position of captain of the garrison army by virtue of the relationship with that ugly city lord's daughter. I cut off all contact with Potsenia and made her think I was dead......"
"She thought you were dead, but she came to you desperately. Zhao Nan said sharply.
"I know......" said Ax ashamedly, "actually, I saw her that day...... And Lily, I was actually really happy in my heart. However, I thought that if I let that city lord's daughter see them, my career would definitely be ruined. That's why I never had the courage to tell them the truth. β
"Since you want to treat them sincerely, Weishenme gave them to those private soldiers?" Thinking of the poor mother and daughter, in the hands of those brutal private soldiers, I don't know if they are being abused, Zhao Nan couldn't help but say angrily.
"Afraid of death...... Ax lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhao Nan, he muttered: "I don't know when I started to be afraid of death, if I didn't surrender at that time, that guy would definitely kill me." I don't want to die, even if I live like a bedbug, I don't want to die. β
"That's a good excuse indeed. Zhao Nan sneered.
"Just take it as an excuse. Akes showed an indifferent expression, and said, "If you really plan to save Poznia, before you reach Ruwich, I can tell you, die before it is too late." β
βweishenmeοΌβ
"The leader of the private army, it's not as simple as you think. The other privates and I may be garbage in your eyes, but the leader of the privates, I'm sure, is better than you. β
These words made Zhao Nan a little vigilant. He didn't think that Akers would lie to him at this juncture, so Zhao Nan asked, "Is this leader really so powerful?"
"What's more, he is the fiercest man I have ever seen, those dragons who invaded our Zampu City, he once killed one, he is the real dragon slayer warrior in the eyes of the people of Zampu City. β
"Have you killed the dragon?" Zhao Nan's heart tightened, if this private soldier leader could really kill the dragon alone, even if it was those sub-dragons, it would be terrible.
Among the wurms I've seen in the Amaria Fortress, they are basically elite monsters above level 40, and to have the strength to kill this kind of monster, it must be at least level 50. Zhao Nan compared his own strength, he is a player, and he has the ability that all the aboriginal NPCs of Shijie do not have. Therefore, Zhao Nan, who is only level 33, is not impossible to kill the level 40 elite monster alone.
The strength of him and this mysterious leader should be between the best.
"How's it going? stunned?" Seeing that Zhao Nan was silent, Ax thought he was frightened, and couldn't help but show a hint of mockery.
"Hmph, since he's so powerful, I'd like to meet him for a while. Zhao Nan sneered.
"You're going to die a terrible death. Akers warned.
"I'm not going to be like you. β
"You, what do you understand, when you crawl on the ground and bow down to that man, don't blame me for not warning you. Ax growled.
"I won't, because I'm going to kill him. Zhao Nan said confidently.
"Ignorant child. β
"By the way, tell me what the name of that leader is, or I'm afraid of killing the wrong person. Zhao Nan said seriously.
"......" Akers exhaled deeply, then spat out, "That man's name is Chunge." He used to be the most powerful general under the city lord of our Zampu City. β
"Chun, Brother Chun?" Zhao Nan's serious emotions that had finally been brewed were broken in an instant.
"Yes, others call Brother Chun, you ...... You actually know him?" Axes didn't expect that Zhao Nan also knew Chunge's name.
"Ahem! What is this......" Zhao Nan's face was already full of black lines.
