Volume 2 The Cry of the Outcasts Chapter 7 The Enlightenment of Calle
There was silence in the tent, and Richard was still waiting.
"They're all gone, Richard, and don't forget your promise. ”
A phantom appeared behind Richard, its voice eerie, and Richard seemed to be familiar with its treacherousness.
"Vulcan (one of the twelve main Roman gods, the god of volcanoes)...... Thank you so much for the fire. ”
"The Pantheon is very pleased with your sacrifice...... This city, and the souls of nearly 10,000 mid-level warriors, is enough for us to gain a slight advantage in this damn god war...... In addition, we may be able to make a trade. ”
"What deal?"
"That deal was made by a Northern God named Loki. He admires you very much and wants you to be his voice in the world. If you agree, then he will convince Hypnos (the god of sleep) to help you again, and you can wipe out the last remaining legendary legion, the Senate Guardians, in the same way that he destroyed the legendary legion Scipio the Great......"
"So, at what cost?"
"This mirror, it will tell you. If you agree to sacrifice what appears in the mirror, crush it for a long time......"
At this time, the space inside the tent suddenly fluctuated, but it fluctuated imperceptibly, and only a crisp crash was heard, and there was an extra piece of debris in the tent......
“...... Vulcan?"
"Hmmm......"
......
On the other side, Will and Calle have been away from Gailandal for a long time.
At Calle's request, Will shrugged his shoulders and agreed to let him lead his thirty-nine guards back to the two legions outside Rome to stand guard. These thirty-nine guards are the soldiers who accompanied Kale to deceive Kayla Brutus and participated in the subsequent wars, and the rest of the soldiers who came out of the legendary legion "Augustus......
On the wide road, the group rode horses for a long time in the direction of the city of Rome. More than once, Calle couldn't help but look back at Will. Because this young man who has always remained indifferent always brings him an indescribable ...... Uncomfortable feelings.
It's like, if you are targeted by a wild beast, you will be thrown to the ground at any time......
However, as he grew farther away from Gailandal, and from Richard and his fellow Assassins, Carlisle breathed a sigh of relief......
He was always worried about being killed, because he knew too much.
For example, the barbarian who departed suddenly and silently, and the empty Gaylandal who happened to notice it......
Calle, who considers himself Caligula's most loyal supporter, decides to go back and tell Caligula all his suspicions, after all...... It's just weird.
These are extraordinary times, once Richard has other purposes...... At the very least, His Majesty the Emperor and the warriors loyal to His Majesty the Emperor must be prepared.
With that in mind, Calle slowed down his horse and waved his hand to signal everyone to stop.
In his opinion, with the degree of "send-off" in Richard's mouth, Will had sent them far enough.
Moreover, if Will had remained silent and followed him back to Rome, there was no guarantee that he would not find himself telling His Majesty the Emperor all this......
So, after everyone had stopped, on the wide Roman avenue, Calle looked at Will with a smile.
"Kid, you've sent me far enough here...... You can go back to your father, and I can still feel his concern for you, despite your heroic performance on the battlefield......"
"Oh, yes? Thank you for thinking so, Master Calle. However, my father told me to send you to a camp outside Rome, and after everything was taken care of there, he would go straight to Rome. ”
"This ...... All right. ”
Looking at Will, who looked serious, Carlisle opened his mouth, unable to speak, and could only shake his head helplessly. It seems that the only way to do this is to return to the two legendary legions stationed outside Rome and then slowly figure out a way.
"Your Excellency, you seem to have something wrong. ”
"It's nothing, kid, let's go......"
"I can answer your questions, my lord. For example, the barbarians who appear on the battlefield and face off against the legendary legion of the 'Golden Spear'......"
Carlis sighed, and the thoughts in his heart were spoken by Will. But he was not surprised at all, after all, the feeling that this young man had brought him before was not ordinary......
Carlle turned his head, his pupils narrowing.
Because, Will, the boy who appeared at the same time as the barbarian, actually laughed rarely!
He smiled very gentlemanly, and like his father, he must have been a very popular presence in the circle of noblewomen in Rome.
But under this smile, there was a mockery and pity that only he could see.
No, no, he had to do something, his smile was as nasty as his damn father!
"Everyone, watch defensive!"
Kalai suddenly yelled at his guard, then turned over and dismounted, drew the shield he was carrying behind his back, and the short sword pinned to his waist, and looked warily at Will who was smiling at him.
"Your Excellency, you are being too careful...... Don't worry, my father didn't send someone to intercept you, don't worry......" Will shook his head helplessly.
But Kalai obviously didn't believe it, and after his guards also turned over and dismounted, and began to guard the surroundings, he said mockingly: "Come on, you are really similar to your father, and you all show such an abominable smile when you lie!"
"Oh? I'm really sorry if I found out......" Will sighed, then his face turned cold, he clapped his hands, and said in a cold tone, "Come out!"
With a sound of rustling, the figure of Mokage and Hattori Chiyo, dressed in legionnaires' leather armor and armed with a soldier's standard short sword, appeared on the avenue leading to Rome, one left and one right.
The three people, facing these thirty-nine people, showed a situation of encirclement.
Seeing this, Kale, who was only one step away from the god of war's attendants, instantly became furious, and he raised his long sword and scolded Will.
"I knew, I knew your father, Richard, wouldn't let me go easily. Damn, I shouldn't have come out! All of this, I'm afraid it's all within his calculations, I'm not wrong?!"
"Whether it's the inexplicable disappearance of the legendary legion 'Scipio the Great', or this conspiracy against me and the legendary legion 'Golden Spear'......"
"Tell me, your true purpose! His Majesty the Emperor is right, your Holy Clan suddenly came from the far north, and you didn't feel good!"
Moying frowned, quietly picked up a stone from the bottom of his feet, and quietly threw it at Hattori Chiyo.
In an instant, the mood was furious, the breathing was disordered, and the eyes were full of murderous intent, and Chiyo Hattori, who was about to lose control, suddenly felt a pain in his head, and couldn't help but pull out his hand to cover his forehead, and then glared angrily at the ink shadow who threw stones at her, but in the end he still snorted and gradually calmed down.
The small movements of the two went unnoticed by Calle and his guards, because, directly opposite Calle, Will had already pulled out the Split.
The momentum on Will's body rose for a while, beginner warrior, intermediate warrior ...... Warrior Chief...... Captain Warrior!
Kale's heart was alarmed!
This teenager is so young, but he has the same strength as himself!
His talent is terrifying......
After looking back twice, Mokage and Hattori Chiyo, who were still silent, but calmly watched their own guards......
Kale's heart sank again...... The thin boy was a high-ranking warrior, and the other girl was a warrior chief......
Thinking that the highest rank in the guards was only a high-level warrior, the corners of Kalai's mouth couldn't help but flush a trace of bitterness - it seems that today, there is more than one bad luck.
"Your Excellency, you could have chosen to go back to Rome in peace......"
"In that case, will you probably let me go?"
"If you don't choose to keep it a secret, I'll still keep it a secret forever before you make a move......"
"Huh...... The joke is not funny at all. ”
"It's over. ”
Kale was silent for a moment, and Will just smiled at him, not saying a word, very patiently waiting for his reaction.
Finally, Calle spoke in a hoarse voice.
"If I don't rebel against ......"
"Your guards can't be alive ......"
"Okay......"
As soon as he spoke, Calle's unspoken plea was dismissed, and Will seemed to know what he was thinking.
"Anything else to say?" Will asked patiently, and then, as if remembering something, he sighed and pulled Splitwind back behind him, snapping the buckle on the back of his leather armor.
Then, he rummaged through the package on his horse's back for a while, and finally took out a common legionnaire short sword that was identical to that in the hands of Ink Shadow and Hattori Chiyo.
Will gave Carlle a deep look, waiting for his answer...... This is what my father said, to have the least respect for the deceased, especially the deceased who is about to die, is a warrior.
"Well, of course......" By the time Will took out the dagger, Calle understood what he was going to do......
Richard and his son wanted to blame their death on the Golden Spear's Legion, Kayla Brutus...... Although the unlucky man's body is now nowhere to be found......
Richard's plan was perfect, perfect enough to make Carlisle suspect that Richard might have some other way to lure Kayla Brutus into his own trap with the legendary legion he had temporarily taken over...... As for the seemingly absurd plan before, it may have been just a prank on his part...... A prank who wants to bury himself and his guards at the hands of Kayla Brutus......
It's a pity that the idiot actually let himself go, and gave himself a bag of gold coins to get out.
So, what is happening now......
Carlisle took a deep breath and looked at Will, who was interested and waiting for his answer, and suddenly yelled loudly at the guards around him!
"Run!"
"Run!"
"Go back and tell Your Majesty the Emperor! Richard cannot be trusted!"
