No one can keep running as tirelessly as a machine.

... Even the machines need to be refueled, maintained, and repaired!

And how much more people?

Well, what I mean by that is-

The god-like general was there angry, venting, holding his head up and kicking up and down, striding and pacing, waving his arms vigorously, and talking and talking and saying and saying and talking and saying and saying and talking and talking and saying and talking and saying and talking and saying and saying and Finally, there are times when the mouth is dry and exhausted.

And when he sat down panting, poured himself a glass of cold red wine, and drank freely, the young man who had been patiently waiting by the side with a good temper finally had the strength to interject.

"So, did you premeditate?" Wen Bin lazily lay his arms on the table, pretending to look at him curiously: "Not only these people (goblins) on this 'Flying Fortress', but also all the suffering, oppressed and enslaved people on other 'Flying Fortresses', a large number of civilians, soldiers and even civil and military generals of the former empire who were reduced to slavery like you?"

"You're all in causf, and when the time comes, you're about to start a decisive battle to the death against the marauders?"

"Yes, exactly!"

The red-faced, bright-eyed general took a deep breath, gripped the glass tightly with his large, pincer-like hand (relative to his size), tried to contain the excitement, excitement, and frenzy in his heart, and recounted in the calmest tone possible: "All this has been planned for a long time. Your presence has only accelerated the process to some extent. ”

"But ......"

"I regret it now!"

"Because it is too early to hijack this 'mobile fortress in the air' at this time, and it is still some time before we expect the time of the riot. ”

"Perhaps, because we have more brothers and sisters who are 'rebels' on our side (8:2), we need to be prepared quickly and more completely, but at this time, our allies on the other 'mobile fortresses'. But still not ready. ”

"We're going to act rashly now. It's just that the oppression is too deep and too heavy, and the performance of momentary recklessness is not a good thing from the perspective of the overall strategy... One could even say. Very bad!"

"I'm worried about this right now!"

"Alas......"

"It's all because of you. As soon as he came in, he took the head of that guy (here he is specifically referring to the traitor 'Mai Ti') who lost his conscience... I want to be at the beginning. After a long meeting and discussion, so many of us also made an oath together: if anyone takes the head of that guy in the scuffle, he will be considered handsome......"

"Now it looks. It's no fun!"

"Ha-ha-ha!"

I said, what is this guy sighing for?

It turned out that he wanted to be a hero in his heart, and by the way, he obtained this 'handsome position' in one fell swoop to stabilize people's hearts, but now his dream has come to naught, so he is full of depression there and feels uncomfortable!

I see!

Seeing his dejected appearance, Wen Bin was amused, so he quipped: "Speaking of which, I, who beheaded him to show the public, am now your supreme leader!"

"Ugh. ”

"You?"

"No, no, no, no, you're not from our race, how can you count?"

"No, no, no, no!"

"Let me ask you, then: When you first agreed, did you stipulate that it must be of your race?"

"Uh..."

"Have you ever said that people of other races don't count?"

"Ugh. ”

"Is there one?"

"Didn't you?"

"So, at this time, I am the unparalleled savior in your minds, and I am the heroic hero~"

“......”

“......”

“......”

"You're really not your average thick ......"

"Huh. ”

"You can't say that: when you should be polite, when you shouldn't be polite, what should you be, and why bother with all that red tape?"

"What's more, this matter has already been confirmed in front of everyone's eyes, and it's not that I'm talking here without any evidence, so how can you regret it just because I'm not from your race?"

"Isn't that unfair to me?"

"Ugh. ”

"Isn't it?"

"Isn't it?"

“......”

"You... It's, so, that'......."

"Ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Seeing the expression on the face of the other party's 'god-like' general, who couldn't cry or laugh, it was even more bitter than a bitter gourd, a certain Wen felt very happy in his heart, and couldn't help but slap his face and laugh at the sky!

At the same time, the cute girl next to her, who was very bored and was concentrating on drawing a wolf grandmother on the table with her little finger dipped in tea with her green onion and jade tenderness, raised her head inexplicably, looked at the madman who got carried away on the opposite side in a daze, stared at the old man for a long time, and didn't find the trick, so she shook her head indifferently and sighed in a self-summary manner: "Sick!" and then lowered her head again, and continued to work hard with her unfinished fairy tale~

Moment.

"That's not what I'm ultimately aiming for, though. ”

After laughing for a long time, the 'sick madman' on the other side suddenly and quickly retracted his posture, changed to a serious appearance, and said solemnly.

... The other party's once-high-ranking general, who was unaspiring for this honor, was so depressed that he almost fell headlong.

Immediately, he raised his head, and although he was not embarrassed to say it, the eager scorching light flashing in his eyes said to everyone unabashedly: Since you are not rare, why don't you let it be given to me?

Wen Bin is clear.

Subconsciously. He narrowed his eyes, held out a finger, and smiled, "One condition." ”

"Say!"

"Find a way to get us out of this place... Just some inexplicable alien space of yours, get it out. ”

“......”

"How?"

"Hmmm......"

The calm and steady general sat cross-legged at the conference table, hesitantly reaching out and rubbing his beard, which was like a leafy weed, carefully weighing the pros and cons... After a moment, he replied, "It's not impossible, it's just... Hmmm......"

"Hurry up, okay?"

"Ahem!"

"Well, since you say so, then I'll tell you straight: it's not impossible. But. This kind of high-end technology, which requires the simultaneous operation of multiple layers of magic circles, is not something that a reckless man like me can do. ”

"You need to find a professional 'senior shaman' to handle it yourself. ”

"Hmmm......"

"I do know one, but... Hmmm......"

“......”

For this man who looked like five big and three rough (compared to the rest of the goblins of his clan) made this 'confession' like a shy little girl, a certain text glared at him expressionlessly. can only express twelve points of helplessness in my heart.

"It's like this... Well. In fact. Like me, he lost his position and power due to the fall of the empire, and unfortunately was reduced to slavery. And he's also an ally of our rebellion, but it's just ......"

"He's not on this 'mobile fortress' right now. ”

"He's now on top of another 'mobile fortress in the air'... It was one of the dozen or so 'mobile fortresses' that accompanied that guy (here referring to the traitor 'Mai Ti', who should have been killed with a thousand knives) to the front line. ”

"Well, what I mean is this: if that guy (ditto) is not dead, but is captured alive by us, maybe we can still coerce him to gather his subordinates to come forward, and then capture all the generals of the dozen or so 'mobile fortresses' under him, and use our people to firmly control his sphere of influence, so that it is not impossible for the 'high-level shaman' in our alliance to cast a spell and teleport out for you. ”

"It's just that now that guy (ditto) is dead, we have no way to control the other 'Flying Fortresses' anymore, and we have no way to contact the allies who are on the rest of the 'Flying Fortresses'... To be honest, I'm worried about it right now!"

"Oh~"

I see.

A certain Wen nodded, thought about it carefully, and asked, "Are the generals on the more than ten 'mobile fortresses' under his (ditto) subordinates all enemy people?"

"Hmm... Yes, but not quite. ”

"A large part of them are officers of the former Empire. ”

"Because... In fact, those people are also old and young, and they are forced to surrender in order to save their families......"

"Alas!"

"I know quite a few of them, and a few of them used to be my direct subordinates... They are just honest and cautious people, and I know their situation, and it is indeed necessary for them to rebel in the face of such earth-shaking changes......"

"Ugh..."

"It's all blood and tears!"

“......”

You can still help them talk after this, which shows that you are also a good person!

Of course, Wen Bin didn't really say this, he thought about it again, and then asked: "If we persuade and know that it is powerful, is it possible for them to defect and come to help us?"

"Hmmm......"

"Should... Impossible, right?"

"Because the enemy, in order to facilitate management, these low-level generals who have surrendered and their families are placed on different 'mobile fortresses', and as long as he himself is found to have the slightest intention of rebellion, he will notify the guards on the other 'mobile fortresses' to kill their entire families as a blood sacrifice. ”

"So... Under this kind of interlocking shackles, I am afraid that even if they have this thief's heart, they don't have the courage to be a thief. ”

"Oh......"

"So, are those people of their family working as slaves on top of other 'mobile fortresses in the air'?"

"Well, that's not true. ”

"Most of them should be engaged in jobs that are slightly better paid than slaves: maids, servants, retinues, etc. ”

"Oh. ”

"Except for these dozen or so, is the situation on the rest of the 'Aerial Mobile Fortresses' similar to this?"

"Well, yes. ”

"Mostly... Most of the officers who rebelled in our former empire, except for that guy (ibid.), were demoted or monitored, and it was not easy to want them to rebel again. ”

"Oh. ”

"I understand. ”

Wen Bin paused, looked at the general opposite who was helpless because of the dangerous situation and no flaws, smiled slightly, poured himself a glass of red wine, and twisted it with two fingers (too small... ), drink it all.

Then tell him: "I have already thought of a way, but I need to have the courage to take risks......

"You also know that this world always supports the bold and starves the faint-hearted. ”

"Isn't it?" (to be continued......)
