"Your Majesty! A quick message came from the front line!"
In the palace, a soldier ran in quickly.
At this time, singing and dancing were popular in the main hall. The king held his belly with his left hand on his face and opened his mouth. A maid held a small fruit and fed it into his mouth.
The soldier felt that he was a little out of place. He knelt under the throne, with a group of dancing girls behind him. The king said nothing and never looked at the soldier. This made the latter feel the pressure like a mountain, and the cheerful dance music around him
It sounded so noisy to him.
"What news?"
"General Booth guarded the Dragon Bridge, defeated the invading enemy army, and killed the enemy general Feike." The soldier replied, trying his best to let his voice reach the king's ears without being too loud.
Big enough to overly affect the surrounding music.
"Huh, this is just as I expected." The king said disdainfully.
The soldier continued: "Also, General Booth is requesting reinforcements, and there is also a letter for you to read."
As he spoke, he carefully dragged a letter. A maid came down, took the envelope, and returned to the king.
The king looked impatient. He took the letter and glanced at it. Just when he was about to throw it away, he suddenly froze for a moment, then blinked, pushed away the feeding maid beside him with one hand, and sat upright.
Some.
"What! How dare he! Go against it!"
The king suddenly became furious and cursed, which frightened the dancers and the musicians to a halt.
"What are you looking at?! Keep playing!"
The music started again and the dancer started dancing again, as if what just happened had never happened.
"Damn it, I shouldn't have let this young boy go, forget it. Send me an order to send 10,000 reinforcements to the front line, hurry!"
The king's attitude changed and he suddenly sent out troops. Not many people knew the reason. Many ministers admired Booth for being able to make the king change his mind. They were also curious about what method General Booth used to force the king to send out troops.
army.
One thing that is certain is that the king will not change his mind just because he has won a battle. The ministers know this very well about the king.
They never imagined that it was the union that Booth was taking advantage of.
"General Booth, I'm afraid we can't agree to your request."
In the office of the Adventurer's Guild, the branch president, a middle-aged man named Yibo, shook his head and said, while Booth sat in front of him as a guest.
"As a general, you should know that when it comes to the internal affairs of the empire, our adventurers will remain neutral and not take sides. All we can do is protect civilians."
The union president said this, which made Booth feel very chilled and angry. The Kallis Empire sold a large amount of food to the union at a low price and provided it with a large number of young soldiers and money, but what it got in exchange was disaster.
Stand by and watch.
But Booth didn't show his emotions, which was meaningless and would only make things worse.
"I understand, but I hope you can ensure that the ship does not fall into the hands of the Eagle Regiment and maintain a neutral stance." Booth continued.
"That is inevitable, young general, don't worry. If they dare to attack us, this will be good news for you." The president said with a smile.
But Booth couldn't laugh. By that time, the empire had fallen, and whatever the union did was meaningless to the Kallis Empire.
After much discussion, he still failed to convince the union to stop working on the merchant ship.
But fortunately, his blackmail was successful. In the afternoon, he received a secret order and the king sent reinforcements. However, he did not expect that the king only sent 10,000 people. This was extremely stingy, but it was better than nothing.
The long-flowing river is a behemoth with a width of more than 10,000 meters. It is not that easy to cross it. On the shore of the pier, General Booth's army has already been deployed. Dozens of magic cannons are pointed at the river. Once someone
If you cross it by boat, you will be blown to pieces.
However, just in the evening, a young man holding a bamboo pole and standing in a lone boat was heading towards the pier.
"General!"
"General Booth!"
The following soldiers immediately shouted, and Booth immediately came to the dock. With his eyes squinted, he saw a thin young man wearing a shabby blue coat.
The opponent had no intention of dodge and drove straight towards them. There was a kind of explosive heretical magic that allowed a living person to rush towards the enemy with an explosive magic weapon, and then detonated it to strike at the enemy.
The Eagle Group has done similar things, although they don't admit it.
The soldiers became nervous. They held their weapons and shouted from a distance: Stop! No need to get closer! and so on.
The other party was so frightened that he stopped in the river at a loss and was almost washed away by the current.
He moved closer, about ten meters away from the pier, and planted the bamboo pole at the bottom of the river to prevent it from being washed away.
"What do you do?"
The soldier shouted at him.
"Fishermen."
"Go back! There's going to be a big battle!"
"But my home is over here."
the boy shouted.
"What evidence do you have? What's your name?"
"My name is Sangou."
The other party said a strange name, but that's not strange in this area. Children always have some strange nicknames.
"Where's your family?"
When the soldier asked this question, he was met with a silent silence.
"The floods washed it away."
The other party shouted.
Hearing this, everyone felt pity for each other, but also became vigilant.
They looked at Booth, who frowned and whispered to the soldier beside him: "Go and check to see if there is such a person."
"yes!"
After the soldiers left, Booth nodded and the boy was able to dock.
He is a thin boy with chestnut hair and very ordinary.
"You can't go near the river now, do you understand?"
"Huh? Oh, I don't know, I fish."
The young man said with some fear. He came to the shore carrying a basket of fish. He turned around and saw the soldiers carrying his boat to the shore. He was a little at a loss and wanted to go up to stop it, but was stopped.
"We'll keep it for you for a short period of time. Don't worry, we won't take it from you. You have to stay with us for a while before we verify your identity."
After saying that, several soldiers surrounded him.
"You guys, you want fish?"
The young man shrank his head, looking a little unintelligent.
General Booth glanced at him and said, "Take him away first, don't stay here."
"yes!"
"Hey? Hey! Me, my boat."
"Don't worry about your boat, let's go!"
The young man was taken away by his men. However, for some reason, this young man gave Booth an uncomfortable feeling. He felt that the other man's stupidity was just an act. So he kept an eye on it until that night, when his men brought several men with him.
Fishermen come over.
"Ah! Sangou, yes, there is such a person. It's so pitiful. His family lives near the shore, and the floods washed him away in the past few years..."
The fishermen confirmed the boy's identity. Booth, who was standing in front of them, frowned. He stared at the three-dog man and was silent for a long time. The other party seemed a little afraid of him, keeping his head shrunk and not daring to look at him.
"General? How to deal with this young man?"
The soldiers were a little at a loss. They felt that the atmosphere was not good. The fishermen they brought were obviously panicked, and the young man was also frightened.
"You go back and don't go near the coast during this period."
Booth said.
"Thank you, sir."
After saying that, the fisherman took the three dogs and left.
When leaving, Sangou had a gloomy look on his face.
