Chapter 251 deserters, connivance [4000](1/2)
"Higeton, have you heard that in the south of our town, it seems that in the past week, there is apart from a terrible monster, which always appears at night and attacks the people and livestock in the town. In the past week, many refugees have been attacked, and the attackers have left huge footprints in the jungle outside the town..."
Another morning, Knight Geden came to the Lion Castle as usual, and heard another knight named in the Lion leader say to him like this.
"Monster, Omiga, what else do you say?" Knight Gordon frowned. At such a crisis, he was most afraid of hearing similar remarks.
Whether the monster is real or not!
Whether it is a town or a fake, such rumors that will cause panic will definitely be unfavorable to the Lion Town when it is reported at this time.
Omiga, the knight named, was still saying brightly: "It's true. Yesterday afternoon, I went to the woods in the south and personally investigated it. Good guy, there are many leftover bones and flesh wrecks of monsters. They look like they were chewed and swallowed, and ruminated. It's so disgusting.
And there are really footprints, and it is also the footprints of a group of multi-legged animals, which are densely packed, making my scalp numb to see it.”
“This is fake.”
Gordon frowned, and he felt that Omiga should understand the truth of not conveying such remarks during wartime, especially those of them, the knights who were vassals.
This is disrupting the morale of the army.
"Hey, Gordon, don't do that."
As if seeing Goton's thoughts, Omiga shook his head with a wry smile: "I know, of course I know, but you murmured that you don't know about our situation? Just a small army of more than 300 people, as long as they look at this side, we will basically be gone.
In this case, we might as well take this excuse to let the Baron lead the residents of the territory to migrate inland..."
"Omega, the Baron would not agree with it. I think you should have understood this truth a week ago."
"Yes, yes, I understand, but Gorton, I think the residents living in the Baron's territory may not understand what Baron thinks.
In the past few days, the number of escaped people I have caught has exceeded 300. If this continues, I am afraid that we will run away without waiting for the long ears to come!" Omiga muttered with dissatisfaction.
"Escape?" Gotton frowned when he heard this. His territory was far away from the Lion Town and had not returned for a long time. Gotton didn't know if the residents of his Knights had fled: "How is the army? Is there anyone running away?"
"The Knights ran away two and took away nineteen Crusaders."
"Damn it!"
Gotton punched the city wall next to him. Omiga had only three knights and a 36-man crusador. Now that he had run so many, he had only more than half of the people running!
The Knights of Gorton dared not think about it. Even the Knight Corps that had been ruled by the Lord on a daily basis had so many people running away. What kind of miserable situation would be in Gorton's own Knight Corps!
"Did you report to the Baron?" Gorton frowned after thinking about it.
"Not yet, I don't think the Baron would want to hear such news." Omiga shook his head with a wry smile, his eyes looking into the distance from the city wall: "Godun, how long have we been after we follow the Lord?"
"It's been three years, why did you suddenly remember to say this?"
"When we came, do you still remember how many people came?" Omiga's voice was a little erratic, as if something was hiding.
"There were only twenty people when we came." Gordon frowned, as if he had thought of what Omiga wanted to say.
"Yes, from the first twenty people, to the present..."
Halfway through, Omiga smiled self-deprecatingly: "But there are only a few who survived at that time, you, me, the Knight... not to mention our comrades, even the Baron's wife and children, there were only four left in the past twenty people, right?"
Speaking of this, Omiga took out two cigarettes from his pocket tremblingly and wanted to light the fire, but his trembling hands could not touch the flint no matter what.
Bang, the fighting gas in the hands of the Knight Gordon, and Gowon Tiomiga lit the cigarette.
"Huh...thank you."
He looked at Goton in front of him deeply, Omiga vomited a smoke ring and shook his head, "Gton, why did we come out of the dynasty in the past?"
"Because we swear allegiance to men..."
"That's you! Believe me! Apart from you, most of us, even all, choose to be loyal to the free prince in the capital, rather than a down-and-out baron in a remote place like Lion Town!
I'm not! Bush is not! Amy is not! Alpha is not!
The reason why we are loyal to the prince is that we hope he can lead us to achieve success, but look at what he has done over the years?"
Omiga's tone was very excited.
This time, Geun didn't say anything, but just frowned and looked at his colleague.
As if he had noticed his incompetence, Omiga subconsciously lowered his voice and lived with one hand on the wall beside Gentun, giving Gentun a sense of oppression: "The first group of strong men are now only you and me. Alpha and Amy, who were once expected to be legendary, have all died. I remember very clearly that Alpha was heartbroken by orcs on the battlefield because he was protecting the Baron's eldest son, and Amy was killed by a giant earth bear while on patrol... Oh, I remember, I remember that later, the giant earth bear was killed by you with your own hands..."
"Yes." Knight Gordon looked at Omega with a serious expression, "But now, what do you want to express when you say this to me?"
Omiga frowned deeper, and he stared at Gotton's eyes with equal seriousness: "Gtton, I think over the years, we have fulfilled our promise to the Baron, and we have paid enough, but now, I really don't want my family to die in this remote and broken place because of the Baron's stupidity. What about you?"
silence.
Omiga was waiting for Gordon's answer.
And Gotton...
He pulled Omiga's hand away from him with his hands, and Geudon patted the dust on his shoulder that had never existed. He looked at Omiga who was helpless and said seriously: "Old friend, did you let the two escaped knights in your territory go away?"
"Yes, I don't want them to be like us. They are young and should have a better life, rather than dying in such a remote town."
Omiga told the truth without hesitation.
The two knights under him all have high knight seeds. Although they are still the backbone at the moment, it is only a matter of time to be elite and even break through the first strongman threshold at level 16.
"They shouldn't die here with us, no, nor should you and me, we shouldn't pay for the Baron's stupid obsession! It's crazy to let a team of three hundred people fight against the Dawn Elf! Even the devil in hell wouldn't give such crazy orders!!!"
Omiga became excited and could see that he had been under too much pressure over the years.
The children at home are ignorant, the daily complaints of their wives, the earnest expectations of their fathers and mothers, and the family’s desire and despair for living.
All of this combined is the reason why Omiga indulged his men to escape from the lion leader.
He was struggling and struggling. He didn't know whether he should stay or whether he should keep his loyalty and promises.
So, he came to find Goton, hoping to get Goton's understanding.
Or, if Gordon, the "only companion" agreed to go through it with him, his conscience might not continue to be entangled.
If it really doesn't work, they can also dissuade the Baron.
In a baron's lord, the only two canonized knights held the opinion of leaving. I think it was because of the stubbornness of the lion Baron, and they had to respect their will.
After all, to go to the battlefield to fight, knights like them are still needed.
The above is Omega's thoughts, so after expressing his thoughts, he looked at Gotton with an almost begging gaze, waiting for Gotton's response.
Gordon disappointed Him.
A hand fell on Omega's shoulder. Gotton patted him and shook his head and said, "Sorry, my old friend, I can't do this."
"Why?" Omiga's eyes were full of incredible.
"Because of loyalty, the first rule of my knight's code is loyalty."
"So..." Omiga chuckled in disappointment: "My first code is courage, so do you think I've gone off the road of the Knight?"
Song Dun was speechless.
Bypassed by Omega, he continued to walk deep into the Baron Castle.
After a while, when Gordon walked to the corner, he spoke: "No, Omiga, in my heart, you will always be the bravest friend, at least much braver than me."
......
......
Omega is not a cowardly person.
They accompanied the Baron of the Lion and came all the way from the capital to this remote place. Among all the guardian knights at that time, Omega was definitely the bravest one.
Heroic and fearless.
Even when facing a fire-breathing red dragon, when everyone was desperate, Omiga was the first to pull out his long sword and roared and rushed forward.
Over the past three years, Omiga has left no less than twenty scars on his body, especially on his chest, there are also huge scars left by his skin due to burns from dragon flames.
Who can say that such a warrior is timid and cowardly?
Gonton can't.
I think even after the Baron knows this, he will not have more demands on Omega.
Just as Omiga indulged his young knights to leave, I think the Baron would let Omiga leave in the same way after he learned about Omiga's thoughts...
With this idea in mind, Gordon followed the steps of the castle and came all the way to the convention hall of the castle.
What surprised Him.
In front of the meeting hall, the Baron Lion is standing here.
"Godun, you're here."
"Yes, sir."
"Ha, have you seen Omiga?"
"Yes... Sir."
"Well, let's go in. Our little mage lady is still waiting for us in the conference room."
Smiling and shook his head, the Baron of Lion turned around and took the lead in walking towards the conference room.
He may have known!
