Valenciennes is located in the northernmost part of France, bordering the border between France and Belgium. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The city of Valenciennes is not large, and the permanent population is not large, but because it is the last stop abroad in the northwest of France, there have always been many supply caravans, adventurers, mercenaries, and wandering warriors who have stayed here, so it has always been quite prosperous.
Even after some fighting, the damage was not great, and in a short period of time, it regained its former vitality.
Caravans began to slowly converge, groups of adventurers began to slowly appear, and the number of wandering warriors also increased.
The Orchid Bar in Valenciennes was also back to its former bustle, with guards, mercenaries, adventurers, and warriors all gathered together, cherishing this last moment of recuperation, drinking heavily, eating large pieces of meat, talking and laughing loudly, and being so happy.
And what they talked about, in addition to the war that had just passed, was the recent events in Paris.
"Haha, now that Marshal Napoleon is emperor, we in France are really going to be strong. An older mercenary sighed.
"Yes, I have been an admirer of Marshal Napoleon since I was a child, and if I hadn't been shot in the knee, I would have gone to him. Another middle-aged soldier of the city defense army chimed in.
"But, how can this good enthronement ceremony be made like that, this is really ......" The other guard looked full of pity.
"Sooner or later, we're going to send our navy to destroy these hateful pirates!" his companion was furious.
"It's not easy, which of our original royal fleets, so many sailors, so many navies, so many generals, are now fed with fish. This navy is not so easy to build. "There is an old mercenary who is serious.
"Yes, and that group of Vikings is not simple, it is not so easy to exterminate, there are so many countries along the coast, which one has not been poisoned by them?
"If you want me to say, we still have too few Martial Saints now, if the original three Divine Spear Martial Saints are still there, this time such a good opportunity, we will definitely be able to leave these damn pirates on land and hang them all!" one of the adventurers slapped the table in frustration.
"The situation is not as good as people, now we have two martial saints in France, it is really ...... Alas......" the old mercenary sighed.
"These two martial saints are not very reliable, a black mist man, extremely mysterious, and he doesn't know any origins. A descendant of Roland, powerful and powerful, can he become a lackey of the Holy See again, what kind of patriarch, what kind of mind is this Holy See, he doesn't understand?" A middle-aged adventurer had a heavy face.
"People are big shots, they have strength, status, status, they see a lot of things, they have a long-term vision, there may be some considerations that we don't know, let's ignore him first. I've heard that there was a battle that night, isn't that true?" asked a young samurai.
"Hey, you're asking the right person, our caravan just came from Paris, I know all about it, but ......" A middle-aged escort touched his beard triumphantly.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll ask for this meal, brother, you can talk about it. The young warrior hurriedly said.
"This matter is a bit complicated, let me talk slowly......" The middle-aged guard took a sip of wine: "Let's start with the incident during the day, everyone knows that the pirate king is not here to assassinate His Majesty Napoleon, but to find his younger brother." Who is his younger brother? He is the vanguard general of the revolutionary army! He was originally named Arnold, he was strong, as strong as a brown bear, and he died under a hammer, I don't know how many people have died, and he is a famous fierce general of the revolutionary army! He ......
"Wouldn't this pirate be a general?" someone interrupted.
"You let me finish, I don't know the specifics, but he doesn't recognize the pirate king, but decides to stay and continue to serve His Majesty the Emperor. Under the persuasion of Lord Roland, the Pirate King retreated, and General Nano stayed. The middle-aged guard said slowly.
"Of course, it's me, I'll stay too, what is the future of being a pirate, of course it's good to be a general. The young adventurer envied.
"I understand that, but what about that battle at night?" the young samurai couldn't help but ask.
"This is the key! It is said that although this General Arnold is extremely brave and unstoppable, he has great military achievements. But there's a bad problem!" The middle-aged guard ring looked around, and saw that everyone had seen it, before continuing: "That's lustful! He is the most talented disciple of the Iron Tower Academy, the top martial arts academy in Paris, and he also cultivates the top forging martial arts, but this forging body is more, and the body is stronger, and the demand in that aspect is also greater, this, everyone understands......"
After taking another sip of wine, he continued: "This General Arnold has always been famous for his unparalleled strength, how can this ordinary woman withstand his great strength? If it's an ordinary woman, it's okay to play it, with his strength and position, he can be sent away. But this time it was different, he provoked the wrong people! His old methods didn't work. ”
Everyone was so attracted by such a hot news that their faces were flushed, and they urged: "What the hell is going on, you tell me quickly." ”
After taking a slow sip of wine, the middle-aged guard slowly spoke: "General Arnold, he didn't know where he provoked a female warrior, and then he abandoned it and ran away by himself, but he found Paris." During the day, everyone knew that it was not easy for the female warrior to make a move for such a big matter. In the evening, hehe, at that time, everyone was holding a celebration party in the Louvre, and the female warrior broke in, and wanted to find this negative person to make it clear, the palace guards must stop it, it was really a big battle. If you don't believe it, that woman's martial arts strength is amazing. A group of guards rushed up and bumped. The Grandmaster rushed up and hit the plane. The Grand Master rushed up, touched, and flew away...... That's really unstoppable for thousands of armies, and it's easy for thousands of armies to be secluded. went straight into the palace and pulled out General Naano. ”
After drinking the wine in the wine glass in one gulp, he continued: "You didn't see it at the time, a man who is more than two meters tall and is like an iron tower, was carried in the hands of that thin and weak female warrior like this, like carrying a chicken. ”
After waiting for a long time and not hearing the following, someone couldn't help but ask, "Then what?
"Ah, what else can I do, that General Arnold was captured by the female warrior, and now I don't know where to pay the public grain. The middle-aged guard said as a matter of course.
"This, His Majesty Napoleon didn't send anyone to stop him? Isn't there still a lot of Venerable-level powerhouses in the revolutionary army, and that Gray Mist Martial Saint? How can you watch General Arnold being captured?"
"How do I know this, maybe it's too embarrassing, after all, this matter is also a family matter, private life, or maybe the female warrior is too strong. The middle-aged guard spread his hand.
Everyone was very dissatisfied with his explanation and began to condemn it.
At this moment, the door of the bar was pushed open, and four people walked in.
