Chapter 294: Attacking Storm’s End Castle (please order the full version!)
Although it doesn't seem like it, Russell is indeed very restrained now.
Anyone who is familiar with him knows that if someone attacks him with a weapon and murderous intent, there is a high probability that this person will not survive the next day.
But now, Russell just "gently" knocked away the daughter of the Lord of Storm's End Castle.
Although for a noble lady, his approach was not restrained at all, but in fact, he had already given Sol a lot of face.
After lifting up the daughter of the Lord of Storm's End, Thor helped her sit down on a chair and sighed helplessly.
"Her name is Yvette. You already know her identity without me introducing her."
Sol said to Russell.
After seeing Sol's helpless expression, Russell nodded silently, sat down in front of Yvette with a casual look, and said lightly: "I heard some of your conversation just now."
"I don't mind if you seek revenge from me, but I'd like to remind you in advance that if you really do this, you'd better bear the consequences."
Here in Russell, beauties usually get preferential treatment, but only once.
He is not the kind of person who won't take action against women and children.
Those so-called gentlemanly demeanor were completely abandoned by him after he entered the profession of killer.
After hearing Russell's words, Yvette, who was good-looking and noble, looked at him hatefully, as if she wanted to eat him alive.
Although she wanted to kill Russell right now, she didn't dare to continue provoking Russell now.
Russell's punch just now not only brought her a painful feeling she had never experienced before, but also dispelled her impulse with one punch, making her clearly understand the situation she was in now.
"I don't like the look in your eyes now!"
After seeing Yvette looking at him with hatred on her face, Russell said again.
"Okay, stop threatening her, she was just impulsive."
Saul, who was originally known for his impulsiveness, became a peacemaker to prevent things from getting worse.
"There is a price to pay for being impulsive. I just hope Miss Yvette can understand this truth."
Russell withdrew his gaze from Yvette's face and said calmly.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, how did you find this place?"
Sol decisively changed the topic and asked Russell.
"I happened to see you when I was shopping outside, so I came over to see what was going on."
"It's that simple?"
Sol did not expect that this was actually the reason why Russell found this place.
"Otherwise? You don't think I can't recognize you if you put on a cloak and tie your hair, right?"
Russell pointed at Sol's current attire and asked.
Forehead……
After hearing Russell's words, Saul fell silent.
After being silent for several seconds, he continued: "Since you have heard our conversation, I won't hide it from you."
"I have some cooperation with Miss Yvette's father. I won't tell you the specific content of the cooperation. I believe you can guess what it is about."
"This riot was not deliberately arranged by us."
"I asked you to take the message just to test Miss Yvette's father's reaction. I didn't expect that you would start a fight in the city lord's mansion."
After Sol finished speaking, Russell began to think deeply.
Then, he said to Saul: "Do you believe them?"
Although Russell's question came a bit suddenly, Sol reacted immediately, frowned and said, "Do you know something?"
"Yesterday at the City Lord's Mansion, I saw a few people next to Miss Yvette. You may also have an impression of their names."
Russell briefly talked about Ebony Maw, Gamora and others.
Of course, he hid the location where he first saw them at "Lillian's Whisper", and also hid the fact that he read Ebony Maw's memory.
After listening to Russell's story, Sol looked at Yvette sitting beside him with a serious expression.
"We did not contact them on our own initiative. They approached us and wanted to cooperate with us."
"Although my father met with them yesterday, he did not agree to cooperate with them."
Yvette quickly explained.
Although her tone was sincere and her appearance gave people the impression that she was telling the truth, Russell exposed her mercilessly.
"Miss Yvette, lying is not a noble behavior. You know very well whether your father, the city lord, has agreed to cooperate with Thanos."
Russell just read Ebony Maw's memory yesterday.
From a certain perspective, he was equivalent to using Ebony Maw's first-person vision to participate in their meeting in the study room of the City Lord's Mansion yesterday.
Yvette planned to use her not-so-superb acting skills to conceal the truth, which was a bit too contemptuous of him.
After hearing Russell's words, Yvette first glanced at him full of hatred, then turned to look at Sol, and said to Sol: "I can swear on the name of my family ancestors that what I just said is the truth.
.”
Sol said nothing, his eyes moved back and forth between Yvette and Russell.
After thinking for nearly half a minute, he slowly said: "Miss Yvette, this is not the first time we have cooperated. I believe you and the Lord of the City will not make such an unwise decision."
"If there is nothing else, I hope that Miss Yvette will return to the mansion now to tell the city lord that we will continue to cooperate."
"good!"
As soon as Sol finished speaking, Yvette agreed immediately.
After a few more pleasantries, Sol sent Yvette out of the study.
After Yvette left, Sol returned to the study and said to Russell: "Do you have anything else to do? If not, let's go back to the camp together."
"Do you really want to continue working with them?"
Russell stood up and asked Saul.
"What do you think?" Sol asked with a smile.
After seeing Sol's expression, Russell shook his head, and then continued: "I feel now that you people who play politics have a dirty heart."
"The fact that you feel like this means that you are quite suitable for playing politics."
As soon as he finished speaking, Thor summoned Mjolnir on the table and left the study.
…………
More than half an hour later.
Russell and Saul returned to the forward camp.
As soon as he returned to the camp, Thor called the generals in the camp to the commander's tent.
Although he invited Russell, Russell directly declined his invitation.
You don't need to think about it to know what Thor will instruct the generals next. He is not very interested in participating in this kind of military meeting.
After returning to the tent where he lived, Russell first changed out of the Warner clothes he was wearing, and then checked the various "gifts" he bought at Storm's End.
After confirming that everyone including Diana, Gwen and others had gifts, he took out a magical book from the system space and lay on the bed to browse.
In the past few days at Storm's End, he had never had time to study hard.
Now that he is back at the camp, he plans to make up for the missed lessons.
Time passes little by little.
Russell thought that Saul would soon arrange specific military operations.
However, until nightfall, he did not hear any news of the army's expedition.
Are you planning to wait, or is the "evacuation" operation not over yet?
After leaving the frontline camp for a few days, Russell now has no idea how far the "evacuation" operation has progressed.
Just when he was thinking about whether to ask the Three Warriors of Asgard, an Asgardian warrior suddenly came to his tent.
"Mr. Russell, Your Highness please go to the coach's tent immediately."
Now?
Russell walked out of the tent and looked at the Asgardian warrior in front of him doubtfully.
"Your Highness, did he say what happened?"
"No."
Obviously, the Asgardian warrior in front of him was just responsible for delivering the message.
"Okay, I'll go over now."
After finishing speaking, Russell put the magical book in his hand back into the system space and walked towards the coach's tent located in the center of the camp.
After arriving at Sol's coaching tent, he discovered that he was not the only one invited here.
The Three Warriors of Asgard and Sif were also in the tent at this time.
When he arrived, Sol quickly said: "We are a little short of manpower now, so we have to trouble you to make another trip."
"Tell me, what do you want me to do again?"
Russell asked directly.
"Most of the Asgardians living in Vanaheim have now been escorted back to Asgard."
"But there are several villages that are relatively far away, and the team that went to meet them lost contact."
"If you don't mind, I hope you can make a trip to help escort these people to evacuate, and take a look at what happened to those teams."
As Saul spoke, he pointed out the specific locations of those villages on the map.
"I'm just escorting civilians to retreat. I don't need to go there myself, right?"
Russell pointed to the Three Warriors of Asgard and Sif.
The Three Warriors of Asgard and Sif are all in the camp now, and it doesn't look like they are short of manpower.
"They have other tasks and can't spare time."
Thor said quickly.
"What mission?"
"Attack Storm's End!"
Damn it!
Did you become so big all of a sudden?
Although the strength of the Lord of Storm's End Castle is not particularly strong, this does not mean that the strength of Storm's End Castle is not strong.
There are more than 100,000 troops stationed in Storm's End all year round!
"You plan to take these people in the camp to attack Storm's End?"
It's not that Russell doesn't believe in Sol's strength.
The problem is that the total number of soldiers in the frontline camps, including the logistics units, is only a few thousand.
Russell didn't think it was a wise move to lead thousands of troops to attack Storm's End Castle, which had at least 100,000 defenders.
"Of course it's not just our camp, the four camps in Wind's End Plains will launch an attack on Storm's End Castle at the same time."
Asgard's frontline camps in Vanaheim are all about the same size, with about two to three thousand troops.
The four camps in the Wind's Breath Plain combined together can form an army of ten thousand people.
However, Russell still didn't think it was a good idea to attack Storm's End Castle head-on.
Let’s not talk about the defenders inside Storm’s End. Storm’s End is the magic circle connecting the imperial city of Nootong of the Vanir.
Once Storm's End sends a signal for help, Nootong may send reinforcements at any time.
If the situation gets worse, it is not impossible for Njord, the God of the Sea, to visit Storm's End in person.
When the time comes, they will have to face not only the owner of Storm's End Castle and the 100,000 defenders, but also the God of the Sea, Niord, whose strength has reached the level of a heavenly father.
After Sol finished speaking, Russell thought seriously.
Then, he rejected Thor's request.
"I'm not interested in escorting civilians to evacuate, but I am very interested in attacking Storm's End Castle."
"Let's find someone else. I'll go with you to attack Storm's End and leave the evacuation of the civilians to them."
Russell pointed at the Three Warriors of Immortal Palace and said.
"you sure?"
"Once you officially participate in the attack on Storm's End, the Vanir Clan will definitely investigate your origins."
"If they knew you were from Earth, they might launch a retaliatory attack on Earth."
Sol silently reminded Russell.
Of course he knew that Russell was stronger than the Three Warriors of Asgard, but the problem was that Russell was not an Asgardian.
In other words, he does not have a backer like Asgard behind him.
This was not the first time that Thor had dealt with the Warners. He knew very well what the Warners would do after suffering a loss.
"Don't worry. Since I will come here to participate in the war between you and the Warner Protoss, I am already prepared for their revenge."
"If they really want to come to Earth to retaliate against me, they'd better send more troops."
Russell said with an indifferent expression.
Compared with humans on Earth, the Warner Protoss are indeed much stronger.
If measured by Earth's standards, each of them is a super soldier whose physique is no worse than that of Captain America Rogers, and they also have a very long lifespan.
But that doesn't mean Russell will worry about their retaliation.
From the perspective of interstellar civilization, the earth is indeed a backward planet.
But the hidden bosses on the earth far exceed those on any other planet.
Not to mention just some revenge actions, even if Niord, the god of the sea, personally leads an army to attack the earth, he may not be able to gain an advantage.
In this regard, Russell has full confidence in the hidden bosses on the earth.
Although Russell had made it very clear, Sol still did not agree to his request immediately.
After thinking seriously for nearly half a minute, he said slowly: "Since you are unwilling to escort civilians to evacuate, I will not force you."
"I will let Fandral and the others escort the civilians to evacuate. As for you, if you are really interested, then come and attack Storm's End with me!"
Sol finally agreed to Russell's request.
In fact, even if he disagrees, he can't do anything to Russell.
Russell was not his subordinate, but Odin's guest. If Russell was not willing, he could not force Russell to agree.
"Okay! Just let me know when you leave!"
After finishing speaking, Russell left the coach's tent and walked towards his own tent.
the next day.
Amidst the loud sound of horns, the Asgardian army in the frontline camp marched towards Storm's End Castle, located in the center of the Wind's End Plains.
Russell was riding a black horse, slightly half a horse's length behind Sol, looking forward to the next siege.
