In the capital of the principality, Tania City, in a corner of the parliament hall, a fat man was busy burying himself in mountains of documents. Perhaps due to excessive work pressure, the fat man's face was covered with large beads of sweat, and the front collar of the principal's special official uniform was soaked with sweat. However, the fat man himself seemed to have no trace of sweat. He felt that he was still concentrating on processing the things in front of him, which seemed to never be finished, and let the white pages fly quickly in his hands, and then fell on a vine woven next to him. In a small basket. Although the whole work process seems simple and embarrassing, judging from the expressions on the faces of the subordinates who are constantly passing the work, as well as the looks of the officials who occasionally pass by, they are still in awe of this busy fat man.
Because he is the current intelligence director of the Principality of Elnifea, Lux Young.
"This is today's information, sir."
"Didn't I say it several times?"
The fat man buried behind the mountain of documents took a new pile of documents handed over by a staff member without raising his head, but he was not idle: "Don't call me sir, call me sir."
"Ah...yes, yes, Mr. Yang."
"How are you guys reacting today?"
"Everything is business as usual. Members of Parliament are still staying at home and have little contact with each other..." The man replied: "Your Excellency Venustel also took special care of me and asked me to say hello to you."
"Just asking a question."
The fat man picked up a pen from his left hand and began to write quickly on the document in his hand: "When our Lord Speaker promulgated the new bill, Fordson turned around and smashed his most precious magic vase. , do you think I don’t know? Now someone else comes to say hello to me? If they feel better, the sun will come out in the west!"
"But... there seems to be no movement among the noble faction members these days?"
"If there is no movement, then there is movement." Fatty replied in a low voice: "Pamir, as well as many people from other factions, are waiting for their attitude and reply. Even public criticism and revenge are acceptable."
"And now this silence..."
The movement of his hand stopped for a moment, and then started to move quickly again: "I hope you don't cause me any trouble..."
With the flexible movement of the stubby fingers, the pen tip turned to the last corner on the paper, and then left an ugly and unreadable signature in a swipe, and then was grabbed by the fat man: "These days when the old man is not around, It’s a shame for us people... Go and show it to Starrag and let him take a good... look."
The inexplicable tone made the people standing next to him shudder involuntarily, because every time this murderous fat man said this, it meant that someone who was going to be unlucky again was about to appear. He bowed his head in response, then took the paper that had been put aside long ago, and hurriedly left that place with the fat man's incomprehensible smile. The latter's movements did not stop, and it was not until the surrounding movement became silent again that he put down the pen in his hand, picked up a rag on the corner of the table, and wiped his forehead.
"Huh...this damn weather, when will it cool down..."
The fat man tugged on his collar, as if to give himself some heat, and his small eyes circled around the corners of the parliament hall before landing on his table: "Well..."
"Then let's take a look at today's news first."
Picking up the pile of things left by the previous person, the fat man fanned himself with palm-leaf fan-like hands while flipping through it casually: "Just think of it as a way to relax... Well, Vincent is there again Are you planning to propose that motion? The Miki family really doesn't stop..."
"Tasker from the city defense army is going to have another banquet... Let's have it, let's discuss it and come to a conclusion quickly. How uncomfortable will it be if it keeps dragging on like this... huh?"
"This is the news from the people of the Mages Council, the appraisal... the conclusion? Who went to find those magicians again... Ah, by the way, that thing Dusk sent a few days ago... Hey, old guy, Isn’t it because there are no Imperial people to cause trouble for you, and you feel uncomfortable all over..."
"Vesel's tavern ... Stop business? Well, you, you, you like to engage in these three roads every day. What is this old house? It seems that the store has been closed for a while. If you two say that there is no adultery, no one will believe it..."
"Another adventurer visited the Fordson family, and it was a new face. Hmm...so idle? Could it be that their so-called game is over?"
Splayed out on the special wide chair, the fat man had a smile on his lips, as if he was reading newspapers and gossip, flipping through these news that ordinary people had no access to, and at the same time talking to himself, as if The shocking inside stories in front of him had nothing to do with him. But at the moment when he turned to this place, his relaxed expression slowly disappeared, and along with it, his fat body gradually stood upright. His eyes seemed to be still reading the next content, but the consciousness in his mind began to swim, rotate, and then sink to the depths like the sea involuntarily, and finally stopped at a certain place like an instinctive reaction.
The feeling of that place was familiar to him - it was a feeling of fear that he hadn't felt in years.
Sitting upright suddenly, the fat man put the page in his hand back in front of him, then turned back a page, looking for something he had just read before, and his pupils gradually shrank.
"Guard! Guard...that's not right."
After shouting something subconsciously, the fat man slapped the table and stood up, but the next moment he realized what exactly this place was: "Pamir... Where is the Speaker? Is the Speaker here?"
"In the……"
"I want to see him, now, immediately, immediately! %#@%..."
The pages in his hand were clenched into a bunch, and the fat man strode to the back of the hall, leaving behind shocked expressions on everyone present and a series of curses that gradually grew distant from him.
***************************
"Are those principality people...still the same?"
"Yes, Captain."
At noon, the grassland to the west of Fars Fortress was as usual, constantly undulating in the summer wind caused by the heat of the sun. The green waves extend to the surroundings time and time again on the grass. While constantly repeating the process of lifting and falling, they also make a refreshing sound of grass waves, showing the natural posture and charm to the people around you. However, if the players of the two forces who are constantly fighting on the grassland and the imperial cavalry stationed in the middle can be eliminated, such beautiful scenery may be easier to be discovered by passers-by, thereby making this war-torn land Places can regain their original splendor.
And... today's imperial cavalry seems to be staying longer than before.
"The rats of Fars, the cowards of the principality! Do you dare to come out and fight us!"
"Guys who have been hiding in the fortress all day, come out if you can!"
"In the name of the empire, I have never seen such cowardly soldiers as you! Oh, no...can you still call them soldiers?"
"We are standing here. If you want to avenge your shame or take revenge, feel free to do so!"
The imperial men on horseback stood far away in the grass far away from the fortress, and the yelling and cursing that had not stopped had lasted for nearly three hours. Not only the passing adventurers, but also the players who stayed on the battlefield and fought back and forth began to cast doubtful eyes on the cavalry team that refused to leave, secretly speculating on its meaning. At a certain moment, a cavalryman rode close to the man who looked like the captain, and asked in a low voice amidst the shouting and cursing: "Then what should we do? Keep waiting?"
"Of course, even if we can't wait, our follow-up troops will arrive."
The captain showed a smile: "That's it, we can't leave now, no matter what... we have to give it a try."
"With all due respect...even if a few more teams come, if there is no signal from the front...it will probably be in vain."
"It doesn't matter, I've already earned it today."
Looking in the direction of a certain stronghold in the south, a strange smile appeared on the captain's face: "Not to mention..."
"I heard that among the reinforcements coming, there will be adventurers."
"Huh? How..."
"I don't know the specific situation, but...those guys will always have a way." The captain shook his reins, then turned back and said while gradually moving forward: "Those adventurers will always have a lot of bad ideas. , isn’t it?”
Amidst the rhythmic sound of horse hooves, the captain came to the front of the lined up team, first made a gesture to lower his voice, and then in the gradually quieting atmosphere, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Beasts of the principality! Listen to me! Open the door and surrender quickly, otherwise..."
He laughed: "We're going in by ourselves!"
*********************************
"Hey, Lord Adjutant, how could you do this? Hey, listen to me, hey...I'll strangle you!"
At the entrance of the spiral staircase on one side of the fortress, the evil young man from Jiecheng and the African miner looked at each other, wondering what happened diagonally above them in the past few minutes - in that direction, a dancing man was coming from He walked down the spiral staircase, but judging from the previous conversation, this person's behavior at this time was probably not due to happiness.
"I'm really beeping!" The frantic figure of Ladder came to them immediately: "If I take over your mission again in the future, I will be @#%@#..."
"Captain, let's calm down first, let's calm down first..." The African miner sighed, then stepped forward and began to comfort him: "I just said a few bad words, you are the guard guy at the door. If you think about it, how could you just..."
"Bullshit!"
The ladder waved away the hand beside him: "You know what, do you know what that little brat just said? We only have two stones now!"
"Ah? What?" Then the faces of the other two people also darkened.
"Although we didn't make much effort this time, and there are no casualties to report, we don't look at credit but also hard work, and we don't look at hard work but also fatigue, right? What's the result? That guy actually said with a shy face, 'Thank you for your hard work.' And then even the normal rewards are not given!”
Perhaps because he was too angry, Brother Ax threw his big ax to the ground, and then continued to jump on his feet and said: "I told him to be moral, and he told me what morality is, and can I have breast augmentation? ?I told him that I wanted to report to Dusk. He told me that he was going to the command room now and asked me if I wanted to go with him. I will go, fuck my sister! I have never seen such an arrogant person... …”
"He...is planning to cheat our rewards like this?" the African miner asked with a face: "Blacker than me?"
"At the end of the day, I thought I couldn't afford to pay my wages, so I begged him to give us two pieces of equipment for the sake of our family, and then...guess what? He took out two second-level keys. …”
With a bang, the ladder kicked his ax far away: "Send away the beggar!"
"I didn't expect... that there would really be an NPC that would do something like this."
In the gloomy expression of the evil young man in Jie City, the African miner said in a low voice: "These people from the principality, and this fortress... don't want to defend it anymore?"
"It's really not working anymore, let's change places." The evil young man from Jiecheng with a bandage on his arm also said: "Brother, wherever you go, we will follow you..."
"I don't know if they want to ****, but the key question now is...do I want to do it?" Looking at the clear sky above the fortress wall, Ladder suddenly showed a sad face: "Grasshoppers are okay, After all, they are brothers, and he is not a poor person, but as for Brother Mo..."
"I'm still wearing novice clothes now, so I'm really embarrassed to owe you."
"As for Brother Mo, the eldest brother shouldn't have to worry." Evil Young Master said, "He shouldn't be a fussy person, and he's... also busy right now."
"By the way, where are the others?"
"Didn't you get stopped by people from Colorful Lingguang's team at the door?" the African miner said: "It seems that he has some grievances and wants to resolve them on the spot... He is probably still there now."
"Hey, I saw that too." Finally suppressing the anger in his heart, Ladder chuckled: "Let's go, let's go, it's not too late, right? Let's go watch the fun..."
He urged everyone, and at the same time walked quickly towards the ax he had left not far away, intending to pick it back up. However, just as he was about to come forward, two figures suddenly appeared in the shadows not far away. his attention.
"That guy..."
Holding his own ax handle, Ladder slowly straightened up and said through gritted teeth: "Just wait for me..."
boom!
A huge shock appeared on the top of the fortress, and the ripples made of gas formed a ring in the air, passing through the sight of the ladder at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then spreading to the distant surroundings. He raised his head in astonishment, looking at the top of the fortress shrouded in thick smoke after the flash of light and illusion, and then suddenly covered his head - with the sound of whistling, gravels of different sizes cut through the sky, and then moved toward the sky, including Falling down around the area where the ladder was.
A huge explosion, everything is now displayed in front of everyone's eyes. (To be continued.)
