Otherworld Qin

Chapter 140
What does this battle mean?It means the consumption of a huge amount of gold coins, the supply of thousands of tons of food and grass, and the blood of countless soldiers. If you win, everything can barely find meaning, but once you lose the war, you will face the people of the country. The censure, the humiliating eyes of the survivors, and the sympathetic wailing of the families of the victims.

"Are you really going to fight?" Fred couldn't help asking, and Upton couldn't help squinting at him when he heard this, "Why, are you afraid? You are my number one fighter, if you are afraid , so what hope do we have for this battle?"

"I, I'm not afraid, it's just,,, it's just that I don't want to see bloodshed again. I remember that there were dozens of people who joined the army in the same year as me, most of them were my classmates or friends, but until now there are only I alone, I,,,,,."

Before Fred could finish speaking, Upton shook his head and sighed, "Hey, when was the last war? It seemed like it happened yesterday. The wounds of the soldiers hadn't healed yet, yet His Majesty wanted to start a war again. Sometimes I really want to stand up and refute His Majesty's claim. The last war was just because a little mineral was robbed. This kind of thing happens every day in the Mercenary City, but His Majesty launched a war with all the soldiers and horses of the whole country in a rage. It has been fighting for three years, but fortunately we have obtained the right to use the mercenary group to mine, and this time it was because his youngest son was killed. Who in the world has no children? For his son, he would have to pay thousands of dollars. Wan's parents lost their flesh and blood, not to mention our national strength has not recovered after the last war, this,,,, hey!"

The two slowly walked towards the palace of Emperor Calais, but neither of them wanted to say anything. Seeing that they had already reached the gate of the palace, Upton suddenly stopped in his tracks, "If I ask His Majesty this time, just What do you think of controlling this battle to the scale between us and the Principality of Julio?"

"My lord, what did you say? Solve it in the way our county fought against the Principality of Julio? Have you thought about how much we will suffer? Maybe our county will cease to exist after this battle." After thinking about it, in fact, the Principality of Julio is far from being as powerful as it was back then, they have been squeezed out by many parties in the past few years, and their strength has been deteriorating, otherwise I would not dare to think of such a way."

"Even so, I'm afraid their strength is comparable to ours. In this way, we will fight to lose both sides? The Omar Empire has always had no credibility. If they send troops to attack us at this time, wouldn't we have to protect ourselves at that time?" No strength left?"

"I thought about this too, but it was a helpless move. In recent years, I have always had a bad feeling, so I asked Zach to investigate secretly, and the result shocked me. The blood clan that has been hiding for so many years recently The activities are becoming more and more frequent, and the monsters that have been hiding in the depths of the moon dance have some abnormal behaviors. There is even a monster of the seventh rank peak that was killed in Taniguchi where the blood clan lives in seclusion. Although the head was taken away, it can still be seen. It turned out that it was a powerful griffin beast, and His Majesty took great efforts to cover it up, so only a very few people knew about it. All these disturbing factors reminded me of the terrible scene in ancient books. Maybe you also know that in the Thousands of years ago, there was an invasion of demons, which brought almost a devastating blow to mankind. In the end, the gods launched a war of gods and demons, which dispersed the demons and sealed the demon king. Ten thousand years have passed, and many people I thought it was just a legend, but I firmly believed that it was true, and I always felt that the demons would come back."

Fred stood there quietly as if he was thinking about something. Upton looked at him and continued, "The vampires are scary, because they are almost no different from us humans, but they feed on blood. , so people are afraid of them, and monsters are cruel and easy to kill by nature. Once the beast tide breaks out, although it mainly targets the mercenary city, it is often affected here, which also brings great fear to people, but these two Existence is not the scariest thing. After all, we still have the ability to resist them, but once the demons return, it will be the greatest disaster for us humans. Even if human beings are completely wiped out by the demons, it is not impossible. That's why I do it so painfully I want to exchange the strength of one of our counties in exchange for the retention of Calais' strength. I tell you this so that you can understand me. If we really fight the Principality of Julio, we will also lose Sorry, this is really a dilemma."

Fred couldn't help showing a bit of emotion when he heard this. For him, a person who has experienced many battles and is used to life and death, he was touched by Upton's words, and he couldn't help saying in a reverent tone, "General, you have thought of so many things." , I am ashamed of doubting you at the beginning, please punish me."

After hearing this, Upton smiled, "Hehe, Fred, you are an excellent general. Not only are you skilled in martial arts, you are brave in combat, but you are also a general who is familiar with the art of war. You have the fine traditions of our Calais people, honesty , Brave, and courageous to take responsibility, but you don’t have to take the initiative to admit your mistakes and ask for punishment. Besides, the fault is not yours. I didn’t tell you these things at the beginning. In fact, it’s not just you. I thought I wanted to express myself so as to win His Majesty's appreciation, so as to reap any benefits, but in fact, my being able to come to this city of Gangsas has already represented His Majesty's absolute trust in me, so what else should I try to show?"

"My lord, you are the pride of Calais and the best commander I have ever seen, but you may not be able to influence His Majesty's thoughts. Although His Majesty is generous, sometimes..." No After Fred finished speaking, Upton hurriedly waved his hand. After all, this is outside the palace, and somewhere there is the eyes and ears of the royal family. Although he said something about designing the royal family just now, he did not directly evaluate the king, "Okay It's getting late, let's go over and report and wait for an audience."

Honey was lying on the big bed in the guest room of the post house. At this time, he had taken a shower, put on new clothes, and enjoyed a sumptuous meal. Although these human delicacies cannot be compared with blood for the blood race, but After tasting the delicacies, he still enjoyed it a lot.

Receiving such courteous reception, he couldn't help but imagine that he was just a gangster of the blood race, because of some facts, he couldn't stay in the settlement of the blood race, so he was forced to go out of the valley, and wandered alone for several years. The Fangfang Mercenary Group joined the Mercenary City, which undoubtedly gave him a chance to survive at that time, especially after Little Gomos knew that he was a blood race, instead of feeling disgusted with him, he became closer to him. Unfortunately, the Fangfang Mercenary finally However, the group was completely destroyed by that kid named Shengxuan, and this kind of hatred could not be swallowed no matter what.

Just as he was furious, he suddenly heard someone knock on the door lightly, and a voice called out respectfully, "Is Mr. Honey there?" He hurriedly got up and ran to open the door, only to see a group of people standing at the door. Looked at him, "Are you Honey?"

Honey nodded involuntarily. Before he could speak, a team of servants rushed in, almost carried him into the room, and then began to take off his clothes without saying a word. This scene shocked him, didn't it? What did I say wrong and what did I do wrong?Now is he going to strip himself naked and behead him to show the public?
"You,,, you,,, what are you going to do?" The leader smiled and said, "Mr. Honey, please don't be offended by the rush of time. Your Majesty wants to see you. Change your clothes and come with me."

Hearing this, Honey's heart immediately burst into joy. Didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to join the king of Calais?What an honor is this?Of course, this honor is nothing to him, but seeing the king has a great possibility of getting rich rewards, and maybe he can even give himself an official job, that is what he wants most.

A group of servants moved quickly, stripping him naked in a blink of an eye, and someone had already prepared the bath water, which had already been brought in at this time. The servants lifted him and threw him into the bathtub, and then used a hard brush to clean him. Scrubbing his body fiercely, some servants even picked his teeth, which made him feel tingling pain all over his body. This is not a bath for people, it is like treating him like a beast. He couldn't help but Looking at these people with hatred in his eyes, he secretly vowed in his heart that if one day he develops, he must make these sluts look good.

Before he finished thinking about how to deal with these people, he was pulled out of the bathtub, quickly dried his body, then put on a new suit of clothes, looked up and down for the leader, and then nodded, "Mr. Honey, although we did this a bit rudely, it's all for His Majesty's safety, but it's decent for you to clean up like this. Maybe if His Majesty sees that you are in a good mood, you can give him some more rewards?" He said. He waved secretly to him.

Although Honey hadn't seen much of the world, he still knew a little bit of human sophistication in the human race for many years. He was treated like an animal by these people, which was actually equivalent to a body search in disguise. Now he has been searched inside and out. It was determined that he was not in danger, which meant that he would go to meet the king next, and the leader waved at him obviously hoping to get some rewards.

Although he was very dissatisfied in his heart, Honey knew that this person would not be able to offend him. If he said something bad about him to the outside world, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?He hurriedly took his money bag and took out a few gold coins, but seeing the disdain on the man's face, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and stuffed the money bag into the man's hand.

The man put the money bag into his pocket after weighing it for a while, and then smiled at him, "Mr. Honey, you are really a good man. You know how to show compassion for us servants. Then I will thank you on their behalf. It's getting late now. Hurry up and go." A small bag of gold coins actually changed the person's address from you to you, making Honey dumbfounded, it seems that the gold coins have a role that cannot be ignored no matter where they are, and this also aroused His hunger for money.

A group of people quickly came to the palace, the man who was still proud just now was a bit shorter now, and whispered to Honey, "Follow closely, don't look around, be careful to offend these guards It's not fun to be unhappy."

Even afraid of a guard, Honey couldn't help feeling a little regretful, why did he give him that bag of gold coins in the first place?Just thinking about it, the team stopped, and the leader said in a low voice, "You wait here for a while, I will go in and report to you." After speaking, he trotted away all the way.

After a while, the man trotted out, "Congratulations, Your Majesty is going to summon you now, go in quickly." There was another person following him, and it could be seen from the clothes that this person was taller than the one just now. Level, Honey hurried forward and followed the man into the courtyard.

In fact, this time it was not a formal summoning, so it was just in a study room of the palace. King Theodore of Calais was sitting on a chair, accompanied by several military officers. At this time, Theodore was arguing fiercely with those military officers, " I have already said that Appleton, your method is not enough. I have already made a compromise to you. I only ask you to bring back the heads of those four people and my prince’s tomahawk. You can’t even do this. Now, even dare to talk to me about the conditions, I will never allow it."

"Your Majesty,..." Upton was interrupted by Theodore's yell just as he opened his mouth, "Stop talking, for you to track down the real culprit, my great prophecy mage has sacrificed five years of cultivation, but you It gave me such a result, those damned Omar people, pigs without credit, and now we have to add the lives of the four of Oulong to our hatred book in Calais. These hatreds must be washed away with blood , even if we risk our lives and honors in Calais, I will crush the Omar Empire this time."

This cessation of drinking was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. Honey could only feel the whole room trembling from the roar, and his heart almost stopped beating. He couldn't help but cautiously raised his eyes and saw a tall figure sitting directly in front of him. Otto can no longer be measured from an ordinary human point of view, because he is three meters tall, and his burly figure is several times larger than normal. His huge head is covered with red hair, and on a pale golden face, two The copper bell-like eyes shone with light, and at first glance they looked like gods.

Although Honey had heard that the royal family of Calais was the descendant of Titans, he never believed it, because the Titans only appeared in legends, but when he saw Theodore today, he believed most of the legends. This kind of body is only Only the Titans can have it.

At this moment, Theodore had already seen Honey, and couldn't help but turned his head and looked up and down, "Are you the one who reported Honey?" Honey hurriedly took a step forward and fell to his knees. Polite, but completely overwhelmed by Theodore's aura.

"Return to Your Majesty, the villain is Honey." Theodore nodded. "Well, let's talk." When Honey stood up, he continued to ask, "Do you know why you are here?"

"The villain knows,,, a little bit." "Huh? Know a little? Exactly that?" Hearing Theodore's question, Honey's body shook violently, and a dangerous feeling spread throughout his body instantly. He quickly looked around, saw Upton's cold eyes, and immediately remembered that he had told himself that he hoped that he would always say that like that day, and he didn't fully understand the meaning of this sentence until now.

"The villain only knew about this when he met Mr. Oulong,,,," Honey said the matter briefly, and finally emphasized that "the villain originally spoke in the north of Calais, but Because of the pressure of life, I moved to the Mercenary City to be a mercenary. The villain’s heart was always thinking of Calais and his hometown, so I came here day and night after Master Oulong entrusted me with his deathbed. "

Theodore nodded, "Well, very good, I didn't expect you to retain some of our Calais' courage and loyalty in you after so many years, let me ask you again, is Omar the murderer who killed Aulong and others? people?"

How should I answer?Yes or no, although the answer is only one word different, the result may be very different, Honey took a peek at Theodore, who was also watching him at this time, as if revealing in his eyes that he wanted to say Yes, Honey couldn't help but gritted his teeth, "Report to Your Majesty, the one who killed Lord Oulong was a member of the Omar Empire."
