Chapter 80: The Sigh of an Angel
Feng Kan was very "honored" to become an "ordinary soldier" of the Faramo Legion, and just two days after he left, Blackbeard and his mercenary group disappeared together, and no one saw how they disappeared, not even their corpses. The full-text and ad-free novels are all on Aishang Novel Network biquge.info but several other mercenary groups in the vicinity have witnessed an unknown person enter the camp and leave the ruined camp after an earth-shattering explosion
The whole camp disappeared, not to mention the people and things in the camp, the whole camp became a scorched earth, not just scorched earth, it became a deep pit as if it had been gnawed by a giant beast of the wilderness
No one knows, but the atmosphere of doubt and suspicion in the mercenary camp has intensified......
"Very well done," said Count Seamoth, triumphantly touching the short beard that had just grown back in the past few days, and holding up a goblet to contentedness, admiring the liquid as beautiful as a melted ruby.
"That's why you spent so much money to invite me here, isn't it?" Feng Kan replied coldly, and there was only one woman in the big tent with a thick veil wrapped around her head.
"How did you do that?" the woman asked curiously, she didn't expect Feng Kan to not just slaughter the Blackbeard mercenary group, but wipe out a mercenary group camp out of thin air in one fell swoop.
"It's very simple, I just hid a few fire and wind magic crystals in their bonfires, and the guys of the Blackbeard Mercenary Regiment will start partying at night, and no one will show anything wrong with that campfire."
"That's it?" the woman was a little incredulous, although the untreated fire-type magic crystal was indeed very unstable, but it was not something that could be ignited with an ordinary flame
"That's it, but I smeared a few other things on those magic crystals," Feng Kan glanced at her and said lightly.
"What did you wipe on?"
"I'm sorry I can't sue you for this" After saying this coldly, Feng Kan never looked at the woman again.
"Why can't you sue us?" Count Shemos was a little dissatisfied, "Don't forget, you ...... now"
"You are just my employer," Feng Kan interrupted him unceremoniously, "Although I am working for you, I am not your subordinate, please don't forget this, Lord Earl."
"What did you say?" the Earl, who had been trying to restrain his temper, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Karui. Seeing this, the woman hurriedly intervened between the two and said to Feng Kan, "What do you want to do so that you are willing to serve us only?"
"I'm a mercenary," Feng Kan sneered and said, "I only complete work equal to the remuneration, and everything else has nothing to do with me."
"Karui, don't you think about your own future?" the woman quietly calmed the Earl.
"Future?" Feng Kan turned disdainfully, "Do you think mercenaries will have a so-called future?"
As he spoke, he prepared to leave the tent without looking back.
"Of course there will be no future for mercenaries, but you are no longer a mercenary now" the woman shouted behind him, this was the first time Feng Kan had seen her so out of shape.
Seeing that the other party stopped, the woman continued to speak seductively. "With the Earl's honorable status, isn't it good that being one of his attendants not only gives you a very decent status, but also qualifies you for the opportunity to become a noble nobleman?"
Feng Kan turned his head and looked at the woman, and then at Count Shemos behind her, "A wolf is a wolf, even if it dies, it will not become a dog"
...............................................................................................................
"I'm so angry," Count Shemoth slammed the goblet in his hand to the ground after Feng Kan left the big tent, and no one dared to speak to him with such an attitude.
“...... I was wrong," the woman muttered thoughtfully, "this young mercenary is not a high-class hound, he is a ferocious wolf"
"What now?" said the Count, pacing back and forth angrily, but still seeking the woman's advice.
"My lord~~" Seeing him like this, the woman smiled, "Actually, it's better, isn't it?"
"What do you mean?" said the Earl's words to the woman.
"Haven't you been complaining that you don't have any competent people, especially this time, when that fool led dozens of his men to waste so much time and so much money on something that he couldn't do, and he solved it in two days by himself, he really has that value."
"But he ......"
"A wolf is a wolf, so if you throw a bone like a dog, it won't work, treat him the way you treat a wolf"
"I don't understand. "Count Shemos was completely confused by the woman.
"As long as he realizes that his strength is not enough to protect himself, then even if he is still a wolf, he will not be as unruly as he is again"
Count Shemos thought carefully about the woman's words, but after a while he shook his head, "I still don't understand. ”
"Indeed, he is too cunning, and he is strong enough. The woman patiently explained to the Count, "It seems that no one in the barracks will be his opponent now, but he alone will definitely not be an opponent of these 600,000 soldiers."
"You mean ......"
"No, it won't be enough to deter him," the woman shook her head, rejecting the Count's understanding, "he is a wolf of faith, and if he is defeated by numbers, it will not convince him, but it will only provoke him, and although we can kill him in the end, we must also bear a considerable price, so it is not worth it, we need him not to destroy him, but to need him to work for us"
"But don't do it......"
"Tomorrow," the woman said confidently, "isn't this new batch of guiding weapons going to arrive at the barracks tomorrow?"
"Guiding weapons?" the Count frowned, "does that have anything to do with what we said?"
"Of course it matters," the woman said smugly, "as long as he has seen the power of these new weapons, then he will understand how small his power is......
...............................................................................................................
Horses are truly graceful creatures, especially if you watch their rhythmic movements behind them, and you will be fascinated by the graceful and charming posture of this elegant and noble animal.
Feng Kan sat beside the groom who was driving, and looked at the two jade-white and immaculate horses galloping in front of him with an admiring gaze
"You like horses very much?" came a coquettish voice from the carriage.
"That's right, I like horses," Feng Kan replied coldly but frankly. "A good horse is like a good woman, once it is determined that you are the one it is destined for, it will never betray you, but it is a pity that I have never encountered either of these things so far"
"That's right," the Earl agreed, and there was a sound of Hisisoso's clothes rubbing and a woman's low pant in the carriage. "I really didn't expect you to understand women. ”
(at least better than you) despised this guy who was ignorant of his situation, Feng Kan didn't say a word.
"Then don't you want to get both?" As expected, the woman in the carriage keenly grasped the little bit of information that leaked from his words.
"Yes," Feng Kan replied very frankly.
"Then you should accept our advice even more"
"Hahahahahaha
Feng Kan burst out laughing suddenly, and the coachman sitting beside him looked at the deranged-looking co-passenger in horror, he had never seen such a presumptuous fellow in front of the Earl.
"Do you think I can't do it?" Sure enough, the Earl was very unhappy with his reaction.
"No, no, no, I don't think so," Feng Kan smiled and shook his head, "Women and horses are indeed nothing to Lord Earl, but for good horses and good women, everyone has their own standards in their hearts."
"What's so hard about that?" said the Earl, haughtily but confidently, "what kind of woman and horse I can't get as long as I want?"
Feng Kan smiled, but did not continue on this topic, the so-called words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, and he has nothing to say to this kind of person who only advocates strength and power.
"Karui, there is a batch of military horses in the army this time, you go and pick one you like," the woman said lightly in the carriage.
"Is that part of the pay?"
"No, it's just a gift from us"
"Gift...... Feng Kan lowered his head and smiled, the other party's Huairou policy had to be said to be pervasive, but it was obvious that this would not have any effect.
Feng Kan's strategy was very successful, he fully showed his worth, and gave a strong rejection of the other party's methods to win him over.
And the kind of swift work efficiency and strong personal strength that he showed made the Count and his "little sweetheart Tina" very happy, no matter what time it is, excellent talent is a rare resource, if they can get such a shrewd and capable subordinate, it will be of great help to the Earl to consolidate his position and strive for greater interests in the imminent war, of course they are not willing to just watch this opportunity slip out of their noses in vain
But in any case, Feng Kan only admitted that he and Lord Earl were only in an employment relationship, and he refused to submit to the noble authority of Lord Earl, which made Count Shemos and his "little sweetheart Tina" very anxious, and the more things he couldn't get, the more he wanted to get them. They were even more afraid that those who were more powerful than themselves would take this rare young mercenary away.
The most luxurious white carriage arrived at its destination in the midst of their intermittent and meaningless conversation.
This is a clearing about ten kilometers away from the barracks in the northwest direction, the vast plain terrain can not see the edge at a glance, the yellow-brown land and the blue sky meet in the distance, although many people have gathered in the clearing, but in this empty space it seems so small and lonely.
When the carriage stopped, it was greeted by several very well-dressed men.
"Lord Earl"
"Lord Earl"
With the noble heads humbly lowered, Count Shemos stepped out of the carriage as if no one had been around.
(Looks like this guy does have a bit of power.) Secretly observing his surroundings, Feng Kan silently followed behind Lord Count and his "Tina's little sweetheart", like an ordinary guard.
"It is a great honour for you to be here in person, Lord Demigilul," and when the Lord had exchanged pleasantries with the well-dressed men, a cask-like Humpty Dumpty man leaned over with a flattering smile that could almost drip honey.
Count Shemos glanced at him with his eyes, and then nodded expressionlessly, as if he had said hello.
"This new guide weapon will not disappoint your lords, they will pierce the hearts of those filthy heretics like sharp swords, being able to serve the great empire is the highest honor of our Dmigirous workshop, for the sake of the great empress, for the sake of all the honorable adults, we have ...... all these years" The indifferent attitude of the Earl did not extinguish the enthusiasm of the Humpty Dumpty, and he continued impassionedly. His voice was quick and fast, like a rapper.
"Okay, I see," the Earl apparently didn't like his rap performance, and waved his hand in annoyance to interrupt him, "are you ready this time?"
"Of course," Humpty Dumpty nodded, "This new guide weapon is definitely a masterpiece, they incorporate the most advanced guide machinery technology, and are the fruit of wisdom that mankind is proud of, and each of them can ......"
"I said yes," the Earl interrupted his tirade again, somewhat annoyed, "I just wanted to see what kind of surprise they would give me"
"It is a great honor to serve such a distinguished guest as Lord Earl, and I serve your Excellency on behalf of the Dmigiru workshop, so I ......"
Count Shemos grabbed him by the collar without grace, "If you talk so much nonsense, believe it or not that I will have your tongue cut out?"
"It's me......" Humpty Dumpty was lifted up by him, his face was purple, and he reacted immediately as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, and hurriedly covered his mouth.
Feng Kan, who was following behind, had a black line, but his stomach was almost knotted, it was the first time he had seen such a verbose guy, this guy's tirade was indeed quite a headache.
"Understand, lead the way," said Count Shemoth, as he threw Humpty Dumpty to the ground.
"Yes, this is coming, this is coming......" The frightened Humpty Dumpty rolled twice on the ground like a real wine barrel and staggered to his feet, but he didn't dare to say a word more.
The rest of the people behind the Count looked at each other, and many of them struggled to hold back a strong smile, this Humpty Dumpty was the head of the Dmigiru workshop in the western region, and his words were famous.
Humpty Dumpty, who had been cleaned up by the Earl, did not dare to say much any more, and led the crowd to a row of trailers covered with thick canvas.
"First of all, I would like to explain to you that the new type of guided weapon developed by the Volcan branch is that in the near future, it will replace the current position of the guide gun and become the strongest backing for our soldiers......
Seeing that Count Shemoth's face was getting more and more gloomy, Humpty Dumpty swallowed the rest of the words into his stomach and instructed the craftsman to untie the rope that covered the canvas on the first trailer......
When the swarthy canvas was uncovered, everyone let out an exclamation
On an irregular trapezoidal black iron platform, a white and flawless statue of a young girl appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The girl's hands are clasped together in front of her chest in a prayer posture, the two white wings are slightly open to envelop the delicate body, the feathers on the wings are faintly visible, showing the exquisite skills of the carving craftsman, even the slightly undulating clothes on the girl's body seem to be blown by the breeze at any time, the girl's eyebrows are dignified and serene, the expression is pious and holy, the eyes are closed with a trace of compassion, the whole statue is lifelike, people even have an illusion that the small chest seems to be slightly undulating.
Is this a weapon? This should be a work of art, right?
"Ladies and gentlemen," announced Humpty Dumpty, raising his hands in high spirits, "I would like to introduce you to the most successful masterpiece of the Dmigirous workshop, the appearance of which will change all existing patterns of warfare, and it is the sigh of the angels."
The sigh of the angel?
Everyone had a question, was this shrewd statue really a weapon?
"Are you sure you're not joking with us, Mr. Wilbur?" a young nobleman behind the Earl looked at the Earl, and then asked the Honorable Earl, "We only see the work of a pious sculptor full of yearning, can it really go to war?"
"Good question," said Humpty Dumpty, triumphantly, "and now let our gentlemen of Demigirous show you what it can do."
As he spoke, he turned back and said a few words to the people behind him, and then the workers who were waiting began to unload the statue of the maiden and the trapezoidal iron platform from the trailer.
They were all curious to follow them to the empty plain opposite, where the statue of the maiden was placed facing the endless plain, and the workers were once again busy installing some oddly shaped objects on the iron platform.
Watching their process gradually completed, Feng Kan suddenly felt a little familiar, and then looked closely, how the reassembled parts on the back of the statue looked like an operating table, and there was a worker really sitting on a seat protruding from the back of the platform
"Alright" When everything was ready, Humpty Dumpty turned around triumphantly, like a little ghost showing off a novelty toy, "Then please witness this historic moment"
As he spoke, he turned and nodded at the worker who was sitting on something that looked like a counter.
After receiving the order, the worker pulled several joysticks in front of him, and the statue of the girl slowly turned back and forth a few times, the pair of white wings slowly opened, and a slight red light emitted from the feathers
The light grew brighter and brighter, and finally the white wings turned into the color of blood
Suddenly, the girl's closed eyes suddenly opened, and the dazzling red light in the eyes illuminated so that people's eyes could hardly be opened, and when everyone raised their hands to block the dazzling light, Feng Kan stared at the statue as if he was not affected in any way, he wanted to know what kind of way this thing was attacking
"Ah~~~"
Like a sigh, the girl's eyes suddenly shot straight out two pillars of red light full of ruin and death......
