Chapter 563: No matter what you think, it's all the fault of Company B
"Strangers?" Lu Xi suddenly had a sad feeling, he originally thought that he could brush his face in any area of the Federation Army now, but then he felt a little relieved, because he felt that since there were such loyal officers, the defenders of Black Man City had not yet reached the point of being completely incorrigible, and then he felt that something was wrong, thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be a hint of hostility in the other party's words, I hope it was not an illusion.
Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders, and without waiting for the people on the city wall to react, the soles of his feet suddenly stepped on the bow of the boat. His body bounced up like a cannonball, even pointing the hull of the ship into a noticeable tilt. By the time the archers at the head of the city had reacted, he had landed lightly on the walls and stood among them.
The two closest crossbowmen almost reflexively tried to pull the trigger, only to find that the crossbow in their hands had flown into the other's hands.
"Ahh Sehira's roar rang out from the bow below, but it sounded full of energy, but unfortunately it was still a little less courageous. Apparently having already guessed that something like this would happen.
"No, I'm just following this colleague's instructions and proving it to him." Lu Xi threw the crossbow in his hand to the ground, his eyes swept around the black guards who were holding weapons against him, and everywhere he looked, these soldiers involuntarily took a step back.
Lu Xi sighed deeply. Sure enough, as Sehiraeu said, although these people wore armor and carried weapons, they were too far from the title of warrior.
He felt like a lion staring at a shivering hamster in his cage. He shook his head abruptly and threw the crossbow in his hand to the ground. Then look for the initial target.
Carol? Rossiudit, the least of the trio of "Young Heroes" who captured the lich back then. Now he wears an elaborate Federation-style battle mage robe, the main color of the army's dark green, with silver lines outlining the pattern of magic runes and mountain stone moire patterns, and the collar badge is decorated with the captain's rank insignia.
The battle mages of the Federation, in a sense, are the same as the noble knights of the mainland countries, with strength beyond ordinary people, and the status of "nobles" also gives them the same problems as those noble knights of ancient countries that have been inherited for a long time - such as the robes that can almost be worn to attend ceremonies. Of course, according to the Central Wizard Equipment Hall of the Alliance of Learning, "Magicians are the most elegant and powerful spellcasters in the world, and their appearance naturally needs to match their status." Even on the battlefield. We will also fight gracefully. β
In modern large-scale wars, bells and whistles battle mages have become the first target of the enemy's sniping. Their sense of existence was too strong, even in the dancing smoke, the splattering flesh and blood, and the earth-shattering shouts and screams.
Lu Xi felt that the Federation's approach was too good, but he was sullen and always liked the appearance of the standard robe issued by the Federation, until he found a more gorgeous Star Robe and changed it. Of course, he also knew that on the battlefields of the Cold Weapon Age and even the early Firearms Age, the aristocratic officers with bright and beautiful appearances were still in existence. But how important is it to inspire the soldiers. Just like Lu Xi's hometown, among the famous lobster soldiers, the reason why the aristocratic officers wear wigs and dress up like a rooster is indeed because of the sense of honor or the temperament of the British aristocracy. On the other hand, it is also considered for practical significance
As long as the officers are still fighting where the soldiers can see, the morale of the well-trained soldiers will not collapse so easily.
Provided, though. The magic officers of the Federation really wear Katsura, ah, no. The courage and sense of honor of the aristocratic officers with wigs.
Lu Xi's old friend should be this kind of person, although this guy is a rich man who was full of black history in his youth. But it was also the people who saw blood when they were trainees. A person with a big heart like this, once he has crossed that threshold, will progress at a pace that will make others jaw-dropping. Now, although he is wearing the coat that is so gorgeous that it does not match the battlefield, the fierce aura around him cannot be concealed. Now he has a long sword at his waist, a staff in his right hand, a very obvious knife mark on his right cheek, his eyes are bright, and his complexion is much darker, which is completely like a super elite junior officer.
Is it really the legendary 3.5 upgrade? Hey, non-mainstream teenagers have become pure masters, won't that seem more and more lacking?
Standing next to Carol was an army officer with the rank of major, not wearing a robe, which means that he was not born as a magician. His armor was very clean, and his clothes and posture were very meticulous. He had gray-brown hair, dark green eyes, a pale complexion, a thin complexion, and was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, which showed that he was not a noble officer born as a magician, but he should also be a professional officer who had received special training in a military academy.
Yan SΓΉ's face, standing posture, except for the excessively pale face, looks almost close to the textbook image of a soldier.
"I think I've fully proven who I am." Lu Xi looked at the Federation soldiers around him who were not breathing, and while stretching out a hand to the major, he said seriously: "If they were well-trained, they should have shot the moment I activated the magic." If I were the enemy, the whole Watergate would have been lost by this time. β
"These people hadn't touched a weapon three months ago. Being able to pick up a crossbow and face a mage is already a great step forward. The major hesitated for a moment, and an imperceptible coldness flashed in his eyes, and then he took Lu Xi's hand: "The headquarters has received information from the headquarters of the expeditionary force, and they think you are dead...... Lu Xi? Master of Berencaster. β
"yes, I've died many times, if common sense is to be attributed. Pity. The loser of the expeditionary force command does not seem to be qualified to make irresponsible remarks about the fate of me, the victor, right? β
It was the first time that Lu Xi used such sharp language to ridicule his direct leader. He was smiling. The eyes narrowed slightly, and at this time, the eyes revealed a sharp edge like a sword. And the major on the other side, who had a somewhat feminine temperament and was suspected of being a little hostile to Lu Xi, seemed to be unable to bear such a gaze at all, and involuntarily took half a step back, and was speechless for a while.
"Also, Major, the ships below are all Federation warriors who have broken through after dozens of days of fierce fighting, and they now need enough food, hot water, clean clothing, and a safe place to rest. Now that you've identified with me, what are you waiting for here? Lu Xi still said with a smile, his tone calm and gentle. All any accusatory or sarcastic elements,
ββ¦β¦ Yes, yes, this is a mistake on the part of the lower officials. The Major's face was already covered with fine beads of sweat.
The major, who at least had the aura of the little boss when he first appeared, hurriedly arranged it with an almost panicked action, and his legs seemed to stumble involuntarily when he ran. This guy who seems to want to shake his majesty in front of Lu Xi and then play the villain in the face-slapping plot that he likes to see, although he seems to have a soldier-like pine and cypress-like standing posture and strict temperament, but is he a dead tree in essence?
Lu Xi, who did not stage the slap in the face, was so dissatisfied that the major commanded the soldiers to open the jack gate blocking the water gate, and the soldiers on the two ships finally let out a shocking cheer.
"Well, I knew this guy was such a soft egg. Why should I be so polite to him? Carol looked at the figure of the major and sighed angrily.
"It shows that the quality of the anti-system youth in your bones is still very shallow." Lu Xi put his hands on his shoulders. Of course he wouldn't sue SΓΉ Carol, and he was in a very bad mood and directly threw a coercion on the major who had no eyesight, as for what sequelae would be after. At this time, he didn't bother to care about it. He stood up and tapped Carol on the chest with his fist before nodding, "Hmm." It's a bit of a military look. β
"Hey, that's natural, my dignified Carol? Master Roshodit. No matter what you do, you must do your best...... Anyway, what's going on with your elders encouraging juniors? β
"yes, that's weird to me. Dignified Carol? Master Luo Xiudit, if you really look at anyone who is unhappy, you must have already found a way to put people in sacks and beat them with stuffy sticks, right? Anyway, your sister should be very good at doing this kind of thing, right? β
"If it's Wei'er, she will directly press the stone and throw it into the Heishui River, and it would be too pediatric to beat the stuffy stick...... In other words, who wants to beat the stuffy stick? Carol patted the stone on the city wall hard: "That guy is also the Commander's henchman no matter what he says, even if I am a magician, I will give him a little face, you use coercion to make him lose face in front of so many people, but be careful of this guy's deliberate revenge later." β
"I've beaten the son-in-law of the seaweed head family, and I'm afraid of the revenge of a lackey next to the door valve? The point is, you've surprised me again. I thought my spell was very stealthy. β
"Anyway, I'm also a magician from a professional class! And you are a little confident in your progress in the past two years, although you are very powerful, but you can't find the spell casting fluctuation when you are so close, then you should find the highest floating island in the Federation, and then fall headlong. Carol laughed self-deprecatingly, "Also, do you know why that Major Parryland is so hostile to you?" β
"I don't want to know, but it's the first time I've known that guy's name is Parryland. Such an elegant name really doesn't fit a yin and yang weird and pale hooked nose...... Well, for your sake's sake, I will be merciful and allow you to sue me. β
Carol bared his teeth for a long time, but knowing that it was impossible for the opponent to be the opponent of the other party in either a fight or a mouth cannon, he could only sigh heavily in the end, and then said: "You decided to go into the mountains to rescue the survivors of the fleet, well, this news has been sent to Black Man City by the fleet command through the guΓ² transmission crystal, so many officers know." Well, most people think ......"
"I think I'm a fool with an over-self-conscious hero dream, I must be dead this time, right?"
"Yes...... And some good people also secretly made a bet, betting on whether you can come back safely this time. β
"And then that teasing major must have taken a large sum of money and staked me to death. Well, it's pathetic, cutting off someone's money is like killing my parents, so I decided to ignore his offense to me. Besides, you've won a lot of money, right? Remember to divide me in half. β
"Kill my parents, you did it without mercy, hey!" Carol shouted with wide eyes, and then couldn't help but be happy, and also waved his hand hard and knocked on Lu Xi's chest, smiling brightly and relieved, without the slightest impurity in it: "But whatever, man, it's better than anything to see you come back safely." β
Lu Xi said that he was still a little moved in the face of his friend's true feelings, but if he blushed at this time and said: "I, I'm not happy", it would definitely be very embarrassing, so Lu Xi replied: "In the eyes of outsiders, what you did just now is basically sexual harassment, right?" β
ββ¦β¦ Are you finally acknowledging your gender? β
"No, I'm just sure again, as a straight man, I really can't accept being touched by a man, and I decisively prefer to be sexually harassed by my sister!"
So, in such a meaningless conversation, the two ships finally slowly passed through the water gate. Many of the soldiers on the ship seemed to have lost all the power to support themselves at this time, and one by one they made their butts to the ship's board, laughing insolently, and some even laughed to tears.
