Chapter 156: Opportunity
Dinner was black bread and wheat porridge, perhaps because of the destruction of Batu and his Red Lotus cavalry, so that the high-ranking commanders in the city realized the seriousness of the problem, the porridge and bread were very large, and the lord also sent a few beef cattle to slaughter and distribute to the soldiers, although the big heads were eaten by the high-level and the soldiers, but the soldiers below could still catch some offal, and broth!
Everyone was gobbling up food, but they didn't talk as much as usual, and everyone was thinking about their own thoughts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The originally noisy and prosperous Fort St. Landers became like a dead city under the cover of dark night.
The cauldron with the golden juice next to it has been filled with an unknown amount of firewood, and the red flame dispelled the chill of the night, and more and more soldiers, after eating, began to converge to this side.
Whenever people encounter danger, they always like to flee to the light, but they don't know that the safest place is to hide themselves in the dark.
The night of this era is much darker than the age of technology, although the moon is bright and beautiful today, but it still cannot illuminate the continent like the rising sun, except for a few towering fires around, everywhere else, it is a kind of darkness like a black hole.
Very early, Guo Lang took Alice and Al away from there and stayed in the dark, for Guo Lang, the night elves like moonlight, and when the situation is unclear, they also like to look around in the dark where they can't see clearly, this is the nature of a race, Al can't understand it, the night is cold, why stay away from the fire? But this adult always gave him a sense of reassurance, and he didn't say anything in the end, choosing to follow the instructions of the other party.
Guo Lang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced around.
For Guo Lang's bloodline, seeing things in the dark is even clearer than during the day, and the strong light will affect their observation of details, especially this kind of night, which is almost invisible, but mixed with a trace of moonlight, Guo Lang can see more and more realistically.
He saw that the nobles who supervised the battle during the day had not appeared at the head of the city for a long time, including those regular knights, who had disappeared for some time.
The military system of this place, Guo Lang has now figured out a little, these soldiers on the head of the city, or the members of the beggar gang, are mostly powerless 'miscellaneous soldiers', that is, the legendary 'cannon fodder', the real generals and their warriors, most of them are hidden under the city wall in a safer place, there is really a war, when they have to fight, they will go to the city wall to defend the city, and those knights with noble titles are not to mention!
Those knights were basically the personal property of the nobles, and they were often given the best care and treatment, and they were both prosperous and detrimental to their masters.
Guo Lang glanced at this guy Al, with this guy's physical fitness and skills, in fact, the chance of becoming a warrior is very high, if he is appreciated by some nobles, it is not impossible to have the opportunity to become a knight, but he is still a small soldier, there should be some reasons.....
But now is not the time to care about these, Guo Lang is still concerned about the current strange situation, most of the nobles here should have begun to look for a way back, but it is obvious that there is no way back for his group of miscellaneous soldiers on the wall, he and Alice want to go down the city wall easily, but to break out of the city, Guo Lang is not too sure.
Since the other party knows his existence, he will definitely order the slaughter of the city, and he will definitely give priority to himself, with his and Alice's abilities, it is very likely that he wants to escape, both of them are good at stealth, as long as they are not tracked by special skills, the problem should not be big, but in this way, Kelly and Able have to give up, this is what Guo Lang does not want to see, as soon as he came to this face, he was forced by others to give up the little brother? That's a bit of a wretch.....
I don't know when, Guo Lang suddenly cared a little about his face, he was also the first in the dark night, cough cough, although the moisture was a little big, but it was also the first, as soon as he came, he was forced to run away, not to mention, and his hands and feet were cut off, that would be too much, this kind of thing must not happen! Something has to be done to avoid this tragedy......
And the lord's wife discussed by those soldiers during the day today aroused his interest, and the identity of the princess may be able to take advantage of it!
---------------------------------
Time passed quietly, and occasionally a few bleak north winds swept by, and the night became deeper and deeper.
In the direction of the city, the lights have been extinguished a lot, but the news of the defeat cannot be contained at all, I am afraid that it has already spread to all parts of the city, these big-headed soldiers on the city wall have no choice, and the people in the city can have a choice, I am afraid there will not be many.
No matter where you are, war, it is always the bottom who suffers, born at the wrong time, human life is like a dog, once the city is broken, it is estimated that few of the people who are hiding at home can escape this wave, in the war, the slaughter of the city is always the favorite activity of the soldiers, because it means wealth, women and the depressed killing in the chest, since the other party has slaughtered five cities, it will not care about slaughtering one more.
Who did these innocent ordinary people provoke? But who cares about them despite their innocence? Guo Lang had a trace of amazement in his heart, but to say how much he cared, he didn't have that compassionate mind, if it wasn't for the killing in front of him, the impact on people was actually limited, even if it was right in front of him, Guo Lang had not experienced it in his previous life, not to mention that his heart was honed like iron and stone, but at least he still had some immunity.
At this time, he was concerned about the only nobleman still sitting in the city, the quartermaster chief!
According to Al to him, here in the royal court, the real power of the quartermaster is huge, and it is generally the confidant of the leader who can be appointed to this position, and the rank and title will not be very low, and it can be seen from the other party's clothing Guo Lang that this person's status should not be low.
But he didn't start planning the way back early like other nobles, but sat on the wall and looked into the distance in a daze, his face was complicated, his expression was sad, melancholy, and a little unwilling!
Guo Lang can see very clearly in the dark, although it is quite far away, but the excellent night vision ability and the width of his own field of vision in the dark night still clearly catch the other party's expression, and Guo Lang actually cares a little about it.
It's this guy's face, the gap between him and the people around him is actually very big, and it is not as rough as the people around him, it looks more delicate, a little ..... Kind of like the people who attacked the city today.
Although the people of the Bara Royal Court and the people of the Rus Empire are all Caucasian, the gap in their faces is still very large, and Guo Lang noticed that the pair of light blue pupils on the face of this quartermaster, judging from all indications, the other party should be from the Rus Empire!
That's where it gets interesting.
"Al!" Guo Lang asked Al next to him softly, "That quartermaster, do you understand?" ”
"He?" Al buckled his head: "He, his original name is Chris, and he changed his name to Unqi (loyalist) here, I don't know much about him, I only know that he is the sworn knight of the second princess who married from the Rus Empire, and he married him!" ”
"Oh?" Guo Lang said with interest: "Can you mix in this kind of position like this?" ”
"It's not because that lord is obsessed with women, and he was actually slapped to death by a woman." Al looked disdainful: "If the prince's group of people became the leaders here, how could they be beaten ....." Speaking of this, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, thinking that during the day, Batu seemed to be one of the generals under His Royal Highness the prince, and it was still a very famous one, but it wasn't a wave of seconds?
Maybe you can't blame the people under the lord for being incompetent, but the other side is too strong! Thinking of this, Al sighed deeply, his only wish now was that his wife and children could avoid this military disaster, even if he was willing to exchange his life for him.
Just thinking about it, Al was suddenly surprised to see Guo Lang actually walking slowly towards the quartermaster step by step!
Al was taken aback and said in surprise: "My lord, what are you doing?" ”
"Oh, it's okay!" Guo Lang smiled: "Let's talk to him about life!" ”
