Conquest

    Chapter 291 [Mr. Tao]

    In the east of Denzel City, about a hundred miles from Denzel City, it is a stream that originates from one of the hilly mountains in the northern part of the Byzantine Empire. The north and south vertical streams are not wide and the water is not large. Just in the rainy season, the amount of water is abundant, and the rest of the time is half-dry.

    It is this stream that is an important part of the northern part of the Byzantine empire – a map of almost all the empire will be marked with a small stream.

    Because this stream became the marginal line of two grain-producing counties in the northern part of the empire, to the east of the stream, to the county of Noz, to the west, to Moore County.

……

    It’s already in the evening, about 100 meters on the east bank of the stream. On a slope, there is a figure standing, standing quietly there, a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle, crossing the stream, far away from the west. Look.

    This figure is not tall, but standing there, the sunset glow seems to be under his back, but under the glory of the sun, it makes him look very majestic.

    Just a little less than his side, a black triangular war spear that is longer than his body is inserted on the ground. The smooth spear rod faintly radiates soft and black luster, and the spear rod is faint. There are also fine metal lines.

    Just about ten steps behind the figure, a few men of great size, like beasts, looked at the back of the man on the hillside with reverence.

    After watching it for a quarter of an hour, Hasting finally sighed softly. When he turned around, the long black cloak behind him was gently raised, as if at this moment, he had a dark shadow on his body. I will cover the sky and the sky.

    Standing ten steps away, you can clearly feel the baleful aura of the Odin's God of War!

    "Are you failing?"

    Hasting's tone seems to be very casual, but the more than a dozen Odin warriors have hanged their heads and dare not touch his eyes. The one who led the head whispered: "Yes, respected fearless God. Of War, we have tarnished your reputation…The Byzantine people are very brave and are a hundred times stronger than the sheep we met before…We tried a few times, they all bravely greeted them, and there was no lack of courage to fight and sacrifice…"

    Hasting looks the same: "How many people have lost?"

    "A total of one hundred and sixty brave soldiers died under the knife of the Byzantine."The majestic man under his head looked up: "Respected Lord…Do you want to adjust a flag from the army…As long as there is a flag, we have the confidence to destroy Denzel City! Let those damn Byzantine people scream at our blade! ”

    Hasting snorted and glanced at the man: "No."

    He raised one of his hands and looked at his palm: "This thing must be hidden…Can't let too many people know. ”

    YesThe Odin man immediately lowered his head: "We swear to follow the great Hasting, and definitely will not let this thing leak a little!"

    After a pause, his cold face showed a flat smile: "I believe in your loyalty. Ok, where is Mr. Tao? ”

    A few Odin warriors glanced at each other, or the whisper of the head: "Peach, Mr. Tao, he…Said to go for a walk by the stream. ”

    "Hey, spread."Hasting is undecided, but his mouth is slightly picking.

    A hundred meters below the hillside, a forest by the stream, a figure is sitting by the river, with a pair of shoes twisting around, a pair of feet into the river, gently shaking, this person looks from the back The shoulders are thin, and the grayish hair is sparse, and it is just twisted and twisted.

    It was as if sitting on the riverside was very pleasant. The man was holding an unknown song and his feet were picking up and down in the river. After a while, he sighed again: "Hey, this cool river is soaking feet. Looking at the sunset, blowing the evening wind…If you have another drink at this time, it will be even more wonderful. ”

    When he finished, he seemed to lick his shoulders and leaned over his head. He smiled behind him: "Are you right, Hasting?"

    Behind him, Hasting stood on the bank of the river and looked at the back of the man in a condescending manner. He said nothing, just throwing a skin bag at hand, the man caught it with his backhand, sniffed and sniffed, and suddenly rejoiced: "Good things ! I heard that you are extremely strict in the army, and you are not allowed to drink in the march, but you did not expect that you are a master, and you still carry it…"

    After a few laughs, I slammed a few mouthfuls, and then I used a force to wipe the wine stains on my lips. I sighed with a long breath: "Not bad! It’s a pity that Odin’s ability to make wine is too bad, and the pursuit of strength is more than enough, but it’s mellow but not enough…”

    Hasting has no expression, cold and cold: "Some drinks are good."

    The man listened, and gave a slight glimpse, then he laughed: "I have a way!"

    He poured the wine from the skin into a small half, and then soaked the skin in the stream. After pouring a lot of water, he grabbed it in his hand and smiled a little. "This tastes lighter!"

    I drank two more and handed the skin to Hasting: "Do you taste it too?"

    Hasting didn't reach out, just looking at the feet of the man in the stream, cold and cold: "I am not interested in drinking water – you keep it yourself."

    The man listened, didn't get angry, took the leather bag up, squatted on the belt, and then jumped up, his feet were not wet, and he put on the shoes directly.

    After the person stood up, his figure was slightly higher than Hasting, but his face was old and his face was full of wrinkles, corners of his mouth and corners of his eyes. The thin lines were like the ones carved out by the knife.

    If you look at it from the outside, he is just an ordinary old man, but the eyes should be turbid, but it looks like water!

    An old man like him is definitely not supposed to have such a pair of clear eyes.

    As if to see these pairs of eyes, you will ignore his original slightly rough and mediocre appearance, such a pair of eyes, growing on his face, just like the inlaid two gemstones on a decaying tree root.

    Failed

    He looked at Hasting and smiled as he walked towards the woods.

    Hasting silently followed this person, the two walked into the woods together, and found a stone to sit down. The man also took a large leaf and gently fanned it like a fan. This is looking at Hasting's eyes: "It seems to be a failure. Otherwise, you should not be such an expression. ”

    Hasting sighed a long sigh: "Mr. Tao, we did have some trouble."

    "You have trouble, not us."The man named Mr. Tao shook his head and pointed to Hasting with the leaves. "I can't find the place for me anyway, but it doesn't matter, but for you…If you can't find that place…Hmmm

    Hasting Silent, bowed his head to think for a while, only suddenly looked up, also do not do nonsense, directly apologized: "I originally thought Moore County is Manninger territory, can send people past, only to find in Denzel City actually have a resistance force, I don't know what happened to that guy in Manninger, who left behind such an enemy in his back. If it is normal, it is not a problem, but the soldiers of a city are gone, but you also know that our things can not let Manninger know, let alone know any Odin aristocrat. Even my Black Flag Army, I can only bring out these hundreds of trusted aide. ”

    "Mm."Mr. Peach squinted, as if inadvertently, just so lazy and nodded.

    Hasting continued: "I originally thought that this resistance was as weak as other Byzantine garrisons, sending hundreds of cavalry to harass them. They were frightened and should be honestly retreating, or simply abandoning the city. Off, or honestly shrinking in the city. But this Byzantine Army is quite a bit sturdy, actually beaten a few times with my people, and the combat power is not weak! HumThis made me not think of it. ”

    Having said that, Hasting finally sighed: "This is a secret. I can't force the army to destroy this enemy, and I can't let Manninger know…There are hundreds of people in my hand, scared and scared to go these guys…"

    His eyebrows are locked: "If you let Manninger know that I am leading the troops, then it is troublesome, and…Our actions must not let him discover! ”

    "It's you, not us."Mr. Peach is still a light and cloudy look.

    Hasting's eyes flashed a stern, cold and cold: "Mr. Tao, it is too late to say this now."

    “Ha!Mr. Tao smiled: "Odin's God of War Hasting, if you go out in person, one person can sweep the city down, what troubles?"

    "Heng."Hasting looks gloomy: "If I can shoot, is it still waiting for now?" It’s your husband, I want to ask you to take it…”

    "I …Mr. Peach’s eyes were thinner and he shook his head slowly: “You don’t have to count on it. The whole continent understands that powerhouse does not compete with the world! That was the agreement that was set a few decades ago. If I am destroyed, hēi hēi ……I am afraid that when Hannigan will kneel down, he will kill me. ”

    Hasting silently, he was silent for a long time and finally shook his head: "I am not allowed."

    There was a bitter bitterness on his resolute face: "You know, the Emperor has always been suspicious of me. Over the years, an outsider has been calling for rain in Odin. Although the Emperor reused me, my heart has never been reduced. I have hidden myself for years, I just don’t want him to see through my depth…If he knows, I am afraid that the Emperor will kill the first one, it is me! ”

    "Hey, you really don't know your depth now?"Mr. Tao suddenly sneered: "But if you don't shoot, it's wise!" Once you really shot, then…Hannigan has a reason to move you! Over the years, he has used you to guard against you. In my opinion, he wants to kill you! It’s just that your 'Odin's God of War' is too big. He doesn’t want to cause civil strife, he has been sitting and watching you until today. ”

    Hasting's face was calm, but the look was a bit of a complex taste. Sitting there for a long time, he whispered: "Would you like to find a way?" If you continue to stay out of the way, then this opportunity is lost…We can't find such a good opportunity anymore! Once Manninger returned to the division and destroyed the resistance army of Denzel City, he was prepared to guard against Moore County…difficult

    "Actually, this is not the real doubt in your heart."Mr. Peach put down the leaf in his hand: "You are already eager to try, you have the idea of ​​taking risks, but worry, if the place is not in the north of Moore County, you risk your shot and expose your strength, give The Emperor excuse, did not get what you want…"

    Hasting looked up and stared at Mr. Tao, cold and cold: "This is going to ask you!" The exact location of that place is what you told me! So you better not make a mistake, otherwise…Once things don't work, my first one will kill you first! ”

    At the end of the day, a black arsenal flashed through his eyes!

    "Since you have a decision, ask me what to do."Under the sharp eyes of Hasting, Mr. Peach seemed to be fearless and faint: "I have told you all that I know, and I promise that there is nothing false about it." Only, since you have really decided, then … hēi hēi, you must understand that you are in trouble, and you are in the sky! Originally, this thing was only successful with five points!

    You also said that this is your last chance, miss this time…Hey, Hannigan has already made up his mind to move you. If this opportunity is caught by you, then you will have capital to deal with him. If you miss this time, you are the lamb under his claws! Don't look at what you call Odin's God of War, but you and I know that if Hannigan is really shot, you have no chance! No one in this world can resist his edge! Perhaps 30 years ago, the guy in Babylon could do it, but today, thirty years later, Hannigan is the real first in the world! ”

    Finally, when it comes to the phrase "the first in the world", Hasting is obviously eye-catching. When the edge flashes, he grows up and looks up at the west bank. He gently vomits.

    Behind him, Mr. Tao’s eyes are complicated and whispered: “The powerhouse does not compete with the world…Since you have made up your mind, then…"

    "If it is done, even if Hannigan will take me in the future, there are many other powerhouses in the world, so I don't have to look at it!"

    After a pause, Hasting smiled softly.

    "Okay, I bet!"

    However, just a few words, it seems to contain endless extinction!
