Chapter 164 Wolf Rider joins, communicates, and returns
"What's wrong with your hand?" After seeing Moriarty striding out of the guard squadron camp with White and Guderian, Lille immediately noticed the other's injured left arm and asked with a frown.
"I accidentally rubbed it during training." Moriarty shook his head lightly, then turned to look at the large group of people behind Lille.
Between the two rows of bright torches, I saw a group of fully armed wolf cavalry, tightly sandwiched among the city defense soldiers with their swords unsheathed. The leader was the female werewolf Margery who had been replaced by shoulder-length short hair.
Special and Clausewitz, who always wore a small round helmet. Seeing Moriarty approaching, Margaret immediately waved cheerfully, while the old werewolf nodded slightly as usual.
"You know these Wolfgang Wolf Riders, right? It's best to know them, otherwise they will have to live in the city defense army's prison for a while." Lear also followed Moriarty's gaze and looked over, but he was half-joking at the same time.
Said semi-seriously.
"Of course, they are soldiers I recruited and plan to incorporate them into the guard squadron." There was no room for ambiguity in this situation, so Moriarty immediately answered clearly.
"I told you a long time ago, but you just don't believe it." After hearing Moriarty's words, Margaret on the side also shouted, as if she had suffered something in the previous negotiation with Lear.
As if aggrieved.
"It's good that he's yours. But this time, Morty, you've played a big enough game, and you even pulled someone from Crulo." Ignoring the female werewolf's "cries", Lear just smiled at Moriarty.
Said, and at the same time made a gesture to let his men lift their combat alert.
"Haha, why don't you want to lend me some people? I have to find another way." Moriarty also smiled, and then nodded: "Do I need to go through any formalities? After all, a group of wolf cavalry enters the Blue Crystal City, do you want to follow them?
Let me know above."
"I will report directly to General Cruyff. However, before getting a clear reply from the general, these Wolfgangs can only stay within the scope of your camp temporarily and are not allowed to go out at will. Otherwise, once the city defense army discovers the wanderers, they will
They will be arrested immediately." Lille shook his head, but said loudly, obviously wanting the Wolf Cavalry to hear clearly.
"Okay, I will strictly enforce this." Moriarty promised sternly.
"Then, I'll leave first. However, if you have any subordinates coming to Azurite City in the next two days, remember to inform us in advance. It's best to enter the city during the day. Otherwise, misunderstandings will easily arise in the middle of the night, and I'm not
It's your turn to be on duty every night." After saying that, Lear patted Moriarty's shoulder again and left with his soldiers.
"Haha, okay." Moriarty nodded and watched the other party leave.
In fact, for Moriarty, the arrival of the wolf cavalry tonight was indeed an unexpected surprise. His original intention in writing the letter was to try to attract the "favorite" old werewolf to Azurite City, but he never expected that he would directly accept him in the end.
Half a squadron of wolf cavalry arrived. On the contrary, Erathia, who originally had some hope in Moriarty, had just sent two letters of rejection a few days ago. Whether it was Viscount Salk or his father En
Baron Sberg expressed that he could not dispatch excess combatants to join the guard squadron. This caused White to complain to the "evil" nobles of Erathia.
After Lille's men left, Moriarty smiled and called Margaret, Clausewitz and other wolf cavalry to enter the squadron's camp. At the same time, White, who was not very willing to meet Beamon,
Then I went to the back to make urgent arrangements for the Wolf Cavalry’s food and accommodation.
"I didn't expect you to come. Margaret. Welcome you heartily, Clausewitz." After arranging the eighteen wolf cavalry and the wargs' dormitories and barracks, and urgently sent a large amount of fresh meat
, Moriarty invited the female werewolf and Clausewitz to the squadron leader's office.
"Huh, what? You don't want to see me?" Just like a year ago, the female werewolf still wore bright red leather armor and a golden scimitar, but she also had the one-star piercing dagger on the other side of her belt.
Hearing Moriarty's words, Margaret pouted pretending to be angry.
"Of course not. I just didn't expect you to come here." Moriarty smiled faintly: "And you are also the commander of the Longinus Squadron. How can I expect to recruit Krolod's regular army?"
"I have left the Longinus Squadron." The female werewolf shook her head and said bluntly.
"Oh, what is it for?" Moriarty frowned strangely, but turned to look at Clausewitz on the other side.
"After returning to Wolfsburg, Miss Margaret asked to take all the responsibility for the defeat of Longinus. After that, she resigned from the position of squadron leader." The old werewolf met Moriarty's gaze and said.
"But what's the use? They still fired you from the military, Old Crow!" Before Clausewitz could finish speaking, Margaret shouted angrily.
"That's not wrong. Miss Margaret. I led the Longinus Squadron to surrender to the Doro Chamber of Commerce. The Duke's removal of my military post is completely in line with military discipline." Compared to the female werewolf's impulsiveness, Crowe
Servitz, however, calmly acted like an outsider, as if he was not the one who was deprived of his military status.
"I'm sorry, Clausewitz." Although it sounded a bit hypocritical to say this, Moriarty took the initiative to apologize to the old werewolf.
"It doesn't matter." The old werewolf shook his head, his eyes calm.
"So you left Longinus because of the injustice?" Moriarty looked at the female werewolf again.
"Yes, that's right." Margaret took a deep breath and said resolutely: "I will never abandon my comrades!"
"You did a good job. Although you are a little reckless, you still have passion and loyalty." After saying that, Moriarty stood up, extended his right hand to the female werewolf, and said seriously: "I am very happy to have a real soldier join the Blue Mage Group.
Guard Squadron, welcome you again, Margaret."
"Haha, thank you." The female werewolf immediately stood up and shook the new commander's hand in a standard subordinate posture.
Afterwards, after chatting a few more gossips about the journey, Moriarty used the excuse that he was tired from the journey and needed to rest as soon as possible, and persuaded Margaret to return to the single-room camp specially prepared for her. However, Clausewius
Ci continued to stay in the office.
"Why did the Duke of Metamoia agree to let Margaret out and come here to participate in the civil war in Bracada?" There were only two people left in the room, and Moriarty's words became more straightforward.
and confession: ""
The matter is very clear. With Wolfgang's skills, it is absolutely impossible for his daughter to run away privately to fight abroad, and even take half a squadron of Wolf Cavalry with her, and the Duke still knows nothing about it.
"Miss Margaret talked directly with the Duke. Because of me, Miss Margaret and the Duke had a quarrel before. So after receiving your letter, she insisted on coming over." Same,
The old werewolf's attitude suddenly became much more direct: "As for me and the other wolf cavalry, we are the appointed guards."
"I see." Moriarty nodded: "But the battlefield is no child's play. Once she steps onto the killing field, I cannot guarantee her absolute safety."
"You don't have to worry about this. The Wolf Cavalry is never afraid of blood or sacrifice, even if it is the Duke's daughter." Clausewitz said coldly: "The Duke has already explained this."
"I understand what you mean." Moriarty sighed. It seems that the giant Duke of Wolfgang is determined to make his daughter suffer a little, to truly experience it, and at the same time to understand it clearly.
The cruel reality of this world.
"Tell me, why did you specifically ask Miss Margaret to persuade me to come to Azurite City in your letter? Do you know that I was stripped of my military status?" Clausewitz suddenly asked after looking at the other party.
"Guess." Moriarty shrugged: "Although Wolfgang is one of the three giants of wasteland thieves, everyone knows that the wolf cavalry among them are actually real elite regular troops. Moreover, Wolfgang's military discipline is also good.
It is said to be the most strict among Behemoth's armies. Victory must be rewarded, and defeat must be punished. This has created the great reputation of the Wolf Cavalry. But this time Longinus was defeated in an honorable battle.
When considering the future, I will definitely have to take responsibility for others."
"You are really smart, Captain Moriarty." The old werewolf squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Moriarty across the desk: "Then can I ask you, why do you value me so much over and over again?
In the final analysis, I am just an outdated veteran, and my strength and courage are no longer what I was when I was young."
"If I say that I sincerely want to invite you to come to the guard squadron and serve as the squadron's staff officer. Do you believe it?" Moriarty asked with a smile.
"Do you really value the role of the staff so much?" The old werewolf still said suspiciously: "And to be honest, for a squadron, even a reinforced squadron, it doesn't make much difference whether there are staff members or not."
"Yes, I understand. Because the smaller the structure, the smaller the space for the staff to play. But I am a very stubborn person, so I always believe that if you join, the survival of the entire squadron can be greatly improved.
Ability and combat strength." As he spoke, Moriarty opened the drawer of his desk, took out the already yellowed and wrinkled "Transcript of the Deductions of the Punic Wars", and handed it to Clausewitz.
"Where did you get this?" The old werewolf looked at the booklet pushed in front of him in surprise, but did not take it. He just stared at it with a solemn and surprised expression.
"One of my servants happened to see it in a village in Tartaglia and bought it and brought it to me." Moriarty did not lie. When he was still managing the Ensberg family's business, Tartaglia bought it and brought it to me.
The caravan steward on Thalia's side knew that his knight liked to search for monsters and novelties, so he happened to see this "Transcript" discarded in a corner in a small lizardman village and bought it back for the family.
"Tattaglia... No wonder... In just a blink of an eye, more than thirty years have passed." Finally, Clausewitz picked up the "Transcript", put it in his palm, and carefully stroked the old cover. The look of solemn remembrance seems to be touching the golden years that have been lost for a long time.
That night, until dawn, the old werewolf sat quietly in Moriarty's office alone, silent in front of the book in his hand. Moriarty, on the other hand, lay on the hammock on the other side and fell into a deep sleep. Please Search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
