Iron Powder and Spellcasters - Chapter 462
Chapter 462 Saber
The new camps of Leiqun County and Bianjiang County troops are located at the junction of Maplestone City and Leiqun County, guarding the main provincial road from Maplestone City to Leiqun County.
Colonel School Meckron did not hesitate to recruit labor during the busy farming season, and built the camp to be extremely strong according to the standards of long-standing fortresses.
Even if Major Seb Carrington was given 3,000 cavalry, it would not be easy to take Colonel Skool’s fort.
But Saber Syber did not have three thousand cavalry, Saber Syber had only himself.
So he is invincible.
The guards were tied and could not stop the vicious major; the commissioned officer on duty was only given a glance and gave up the idea of using force.
Saber Saber clasped wolf-like fangs, and the Golden Sabre stood outside the headquarters of the military camp, commonly known as the “Forbidden Palace”, shouting: “Skull! Come out!”
This little riot caused some soldiers to watch – but only for soldiers, because commissioned officers could not wait to hide outside the barracks.
Even if Colonel Skool never made it clear, people with some brains have already seen the signs.
Mingming had just experienced a hard battle, the blood stains on his clothes had not been washed away, the gun smoke in his fingers had not yet dissipated, and the soldiers were exhausted. Colonel Skool neither rewarded the three armies nor allowed the troops to rest and rehabilitated. Instead, he frequently moved camps and made great efforts to build fortifications. There was only one reason—the Tiefeng County Army.
The smell of gunpowder was getting stronger and stronger among the comrades who were blood-soaked side by side yesterday. I don’t know when I wake up one morning, and the “friends” will become “rebels” again.
However, no matter whether you fight or not, it has little to do with commissioned officers.
Although his military career was short, it was enough for the commissioned officers to deeply understand the most important unspoken rule of the Alliance Army system—only those who came out of the Army Academy were considered human.
Otherwise, even if they wear the same uniform, there is an invisible, intangible, indescribable, and incomprehensible barrier between the commissioned officers and the officers of the Luyuan Academy, but it is impregnable and insurmountable.
Just as academy officers who are captured can be treated with courtesy, when commissioned officers surrender, they can only wait for their relatives to redeem them with money.
On major matters such as “fight” and “no fight”, commissioned officers have no more say than the same chairs, chairs and benches.
The rights and obligations are not equal, and the input and output are not commensurate. When many commissioned officers toss and turn in the middle of the night, they are secretly crying: Why did they get confused in the first place and insist on spending money to buy this officer?
Therefore, when it was discovered that the fierce Tiefeng County Colonel came again, except for the unlucky guy on duty, all the other commissioned officers voluntarily avoided – you humans, you humans will solve it on your own, and our desks, chairs and benches will not participate.
Saber Cyborg thus traveled unimpeded in the military camp and went straight to the gate of the “Forbidden Palace”.
In the end, Captain Luo Song arrived after hearing the news, and finally had someone who could talk to the major.
During the battle at Hegu Village, Luo Song was injured more than ten times, most of which were on his arms and legs—except for the part where he lost one eye.
Therefore, when Luo Song, with his arms dangling and leaning on crutches, came to Major Seber, he looked somewhat embarrassed: “Senior, what are you doing… Please come to my barracks to rest for a while, and I will send someone to find the colonel for you. .”
Cerber gave the captain a sideways glance, and yelled at the central barracks: “Skull! Speak by yourself! Don’t push a lieutenant out to block the gun!”
Although Luosong is also one of the best thorns in the Leiqun County Army, but when placed in front of the best thorns in the Prato army, it is like a cheetah hitting a lion, a kitten hitting a big cat—it’s not enough to look at.
What’s more, according to the principle that friendly envoys need Gaoge’s reception, only Colonel Skool in the Leiqun County Army is qualified to negotiate, and Luo Song is only a lieutenant.
Here, Luo Song is still worried about how to deal with the major.
On the other side, Sebo has been keenly aware of the strangeness in the Leiqun County army.
As more and more officers arrived, Major Seber glanced over and immediately reached out to point out the two dazzling guys.
“You two.” Sebo’s eyes were like electricity: “Why haven’t I seen you.”
The two lieutenants who were named looked at each other, and one of them answered in a humbly manner: “We are going to school late, so of course you won’t have an impression of us.”
“Yes, senior.” Luo Song leaned on crutches, strenuously stepped forward, and explained sincerely: “When they entered the school, you had already graduated.”
Cyber didn’t relax at all. He frowned, walked to the two lieutenants, looked at them in a circle, and suddenly put out his nose and sniffed: “No! You are too clean!”
Cerber stepped back half a step, grabbed the handle of the knife, bared his fangs like a wolf: “You guys are from Bianjiang County!”
Luo Song and the two lieutenants turned pale in shock.
“Okay, Cyb Carrington.” A clear and pleasant voice came from the barracks: “Don’t play with the little guys.”
A well-proportioned, gentle-eyed officer came over. The officer’s uniform was ironed flat, and his thick jet-black hair was carefully maintained.
“Maghash Kerwin.” Cerber slowly said the name of the colonel, his hand still holding the saber: “Lieutenant Colonel.”
“Shouldn’t it be your first salute?” Lieutenant Colonel Matthias joked.
Cerber reluctantly raised his hand in a salute, and Lieutenant Colonel Matthias returned the salute dashingly.
Colonel School walked out of the camp after Lieutenant Colonel Matthias. He nodded to Captain Loshon, who immediately dispersed the irrelevant people near the “Forbidden Palace”.
Cerber waited until only the official officers were left, and then asked Lieutenant Colonel Matthias, “Aren’t you guarding the border mountain city?”
“The threat is lifted.” Lieutenant Colonel Matthias took Seber’s left arm holding the saber and patted the latter’s wrist: “Come on, come in and talk.”
“Forget it, let him in the tent, maybe he thinks we’re going to kill him.” Colonel Skool stopped Matthias bluntly.
Colonel frowned, stared at his younger brother, and asked, “What did Winters Montagne send you to?”
“First of all, I wasn’t sent here by him.” Sebo corrected immediately and asked, “Why are you two counties joining forces?”
“Oh, he sent you to inquire about the military situation. Now that you have seen it all, go back and report to him.”
After saying that, Skool coldly motioned to Captain Luo Song to see off the guest, turned and walked towards the camp of the Chinese army.
Cerber regained his energy. He cleared his throat and said proudly to Skool’s back: “I’m here to let you know that Winters’ men are going to fight Sandel in Vigne.”
Colonel Scull turned around, just seeing the expression on the Colonel’s face, Seber felt that the trip was worth it.
“When did it happen?” Skool asked.
Cerber took out the Newron clock and gave it a pretentious look—the clock was long gone because he had forgotten to wind and reset it.
“Now.” Cerber replied sternly: “Shandel should have surrendered.”
The surrounding air froze instantly. The lieutenants fell silent in bewilderment, and Matthias looked at Colonel Skool calmly. However, the dilated pupils betrayed the lieutenant colonel’s psychological activities.
“Winters Montagne.” Colonel Skool’s breathing became stagnant, he gritted his teeth, and asked restrainedly and calmly: “How dare you start a war without authorization and attack a friendly army?”
…
[Artemis]
“Oh?” Winters wondered.
His gaze swept forward, and the prisoners waiting to be screened in the barracks lowered their heads to avoid his gaze.
He looked at the subordinates behind him again, Lannis looked serious, and Holder was holding back a smile.
Winters withdrew his gaze and sincerely asked Sandel in front of him: “So we are allies?”
Major Sandel has been disarmed, and his family saber is now being admired by “Children Montagne”.
However, although the major was a little embarrassed, every button of his jacket was still meticulously fastened.
Major Sandel straightened his back and tried his best to maintain his last dignity: “The troops from the four counties traveled through Vigne County. I did not stop you, and ordered the villages and towns along the way to provide you with supplies.”
“Just sitting on the wall and watching.” Winters was unmoved: “You didn’t send troops to fight.”
“I didn’t interfere with your correspondence with Gervodin, and the evacuation of prisoners and spoils.”
“Your cavalry is suppressed by my cavalry, and you have no ability to stop it.”
Major Sandel’s face turned blue and white, he hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly revealed his last secret: “After I got the results of the Battle of Riverdale, I sided with you. I have a letter with Colonel Skool. The colonel has accepted me anyway.”
“I know, I guess it is.” Winters was not surprised at all, he handed Shandel’s saber to Lannis: “In the past, the nobles of Palatu asked for a good knife, and they had to pay the same weight as the blade. Gold. Take it, it’s yours now!”
Lannis was stunned for a moment, and then proudly took the saber under the envious eyes of his subordinates.
Winters turned to Major Sandel, the smile on his face had been put away: “But Colonel Skool never told me.”
…
[Leiqun County, Bianjiang County Allied Forces Camp]
“Okay, stop thinking about how to deal with Winters Montagne!” Cerber slapped his saber on the map table and lay down on the marching chair.
He stretched out **** towards Skool, and then snapped one of them: “The pliers have been broken in half, so what are you playing with?”
“You came to say this to me.” Colonel Skool suppressed his anger: “And then give me a middle finger?”
Cerber Carrington hurriedly put his hand back: “I’m sorry.”
Colonel Skool snorted softly, and Matthias smiled, and the atmosphere eased.
“Explain your purpose, Seb.” Matthias put his hands on the table and leaned forward.
“My purpose? I’m here to stand up for the little guys from Richard Mason. If they say something, they will definitely be despised and bullied by you. So, I can only speak for them. “
School frowned: “Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Winters Montagne’s meaning is very simple, he doesn’t want to go to war with you. What happened in Maplestone City was an accident. However, since the citizens of Maplestone City chose him, he would not be able to send Maplestone again like a tribute. Shicheng is dedicated to you.” Saibo raised his hand and said confidently: “Does the blood wolf lose face?”
School was expressionless.
On the other side, Lieutenant Colonel Matthias smiled leniently: “Understandable. If we were in his position, it would be impossible to dedicate the city.”
Cerber struck while the iron was hot, and with an unprecedented affectionate tone, continued to attack Colonel Skool:
“Last time I came, although… it was a little unpleasant, but you also sent someone back to Maplestone City with me to check the treasury. Is there nothing missing? Nothing moved? If you didn’t enter, isn’t it sincere enough?”
Lieutenant Colonel Matthias looked at the Colonel inquiringly.
Colonel School was noncommittal and asked, “So what?”
“What ‘so’?” Seber was puzzled.
Skool said indifferently: “The treasury has nothing to take, either sincerity or bait. Lure us to go, and then destroy us, will the things in the warehouse run away with long legs? So, What do these represent?”
Colonel Scull stood up and asked aggressively: “Saber, I want to ask you! You came from a famous Palatine family, and you have been under the shadow of the Republic since childhood. Which side are you on?”
“Which side am I on?” Seb Carrington was furious, slapped the table, and pushed back **** for tat: “I need you to tell me which side I’m on? I need you Come and tell me, which side am I on?”
The sudden huge impact tore off the hinge of the map table, and the table topped over.
But Seb Carrington’s anger hasn’t been poured out yet, and the Saber’s moniker isn’t for nothing.
“Skull Meckron! Don’t be ashamed of your **** face!” Cerber shouted: “You can see clearly! Now your men are being pinched! Not Montagne’s men are surrounded! He If you really want to deal with you, can you live through tomorrow?!”
At this stage of the quarrel, the outcome is not who is more reasonable, but who has the louder voice.
The quarrel has reached this stage, and the ultimate goal is no longer to convince the other party, but to make the other party mad.
In the competition of voice and sarcasm, Skool Meckron was a complete defeat.
Even if Colonel is full of strategy, he can’t match the sentence “Don’t give a **** about shame”.
Skull clutched his chest and almost gasped.
He didn’t understand yet, the moment he started to think “how can I be shameless”, he had already lost.
Waiting outside the tent, Luo Song heard the movement inside, and hurriedly came in with a cane to pull the frame, but unfortunately witnessed a one-sided massacre.
The lieutenants of Thundergroup hurriedly carried Colonel Skool away, leaving only Seber and Matthias in the tent.
Cerber slumped down on his chair in a fit of rage.
Matthias walked over, patted Seb on the shoulder, and was surprised to see a hint of annoyance in Saber’s eyes.
“The Ghost of Styx can’t surrender Maplestone City, and he doesn’t want to fight, so what does he want to do?” Lieutenant Colonel Matthias asked softly, and he laughed: “He doesn’t want to include us, right?”
“He’s not that ignorant yet.” Cyborg sighed: “He wants to invite you both to manage Maplestone City.”
