As soon as Todman arrived at the pond outside the town, the reporters around him looked at him and laughed: "Sir, you are here to stand guard again!"
Todman did not answer and ordered to his subordinates: "Line up! Protect civilians!"
Then he directed the soldiers to stop the onlookers outside the pond.
The reporters shouted loudly again: "What are you stopping us from? If the armored weirdo really attacks us, can you protect us?"
Most people would definitely have to retort if they were so crowded, but Todman was quite calm as a soldier, and even so he didn't say anything. Otherwise, if this scene was aired today, it would probably become a classic forever.
It's hard to say whether he is calm or not. After the scene where he stopped the soldiers was on TV yesterday, he instantly gained the title of "Coward Commander". The whole world knew that the World Council did not dare to take action against the armored monster.
Originally, those videos could not be spread by using some means. This is also a good trick of the Parliament, but who would let people from the Boncells family be around? With their support, he could fight and retreat in the face of the armored monsters.
The matter could not be suppressed at all. All the news was reporting on it, and the Buncelles family may not have contributed to it.
Looking at the comments from various media, Todman felt that there was nothing wrong with being transferred. Should he stay here and continue to be humiliated by the armored weirdo?
So after returning yesterday, when he met Mr. Drew, one of the deputy speakers of the parliament who came to take over local affairs, Todman took the initiative to admit his mistake and completed the handover of the troops efficiently.
Looking at the gloomy Mr. Drew, he couldn't help but feel happy.
"Mr. Drew, I have embarrassed the parliament. I am willing to go back to the headquarters and accept any punishment!"
Todman lowered his head and apologized sincerely.
He didn't want to stay in this damn place for a moment, and he only regretted that he didn't follow Allege's teachings and meddle in other people's business.
Mr. Drew, the deputy speaker, is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his fifties. It is said that he is of mixed race. Judging from his appearance, except that his face is a little purple compared to that of ordinary humans, the most obvious difference is probably the color on each side.
The ears are probably two long beards covered with scales, and the rest is indistinguishable from ordinary humans.
Just as Todman thought, the other party did not accept his apology at all, and said with a cold lavender face: "Your ability is indeed not qualified for the task here."
Todman was delighted.
"However, your actions to protect civilians yesterday were right, so I order you to continue leading the team tomorrow, which can be regarded as making up for your merits."
Todman: "......"
Hence today's episode.
When Ren arrived, he saw this group of people talking and laughing, and felt that it was quite outrageous.
He touched the armor on his body: Are you wearing it correctly?
Did the sword hilt fall off your back?
Nope either.
Seeing Todman standing at the front with a stinky face, he understood and said with a smile: "Oh~ So they are laughing at you."
At this time Todman really couldn't stand it any longer, and the atmosphere outside the town was suddenly filled with joy.
Ren found the fishing rod he had left yesterday and was surprised that it had not been taken away. Just like yesterday, he put the fishing rod intact on his sword and lay down to rest.
On a hill not far away, Kevin and Mary peeked at the pond through the cover of trees.
"What should we do? The man has appeared, but we have no way to contact him."
"I'm more curious about his purpose." Kevin adjusted the focus of his eyeballs and locked on the armored weirdo: "This guy must have guessed that we wanted to lure him out, so he threw the question back to us. It's up to us.
Do you dare to go and find him? Fishing? It seems that he wants to fish for us."
Mary frowned: "Oh, so what if we fall for his bait? But there are too many people watching now. Those guys from the World Parliament even sent a deputy speaker. Even if we don't cheat on him, we can't do it in front of so many people.
We also discussed our plan with the armored weirdo in front of the camera."
Kevin looked at the leisurely and contented appearance of the armored weirdo in his field of vision, and made a plan in his mind. He felt that he had seen through the other person's thoughts, and said confidently:
"It seems that this is the test that the armored monster has given us. Fishermen also have plans for fishing. The more he appears uncharacteristically and frequently, the more likely it is that we can communicate with him."
"The specifics..."
Before they finished speaking, the two people seemed to have discovered something. They raised their eyebrows in unison and hid behind a nearby tree.
Not long after hiding, they saw a man with slightly purple skin and long beards coming up from the mountain and standing at their original position.
Kevin and Mary looked at each other, obviously recognizing who the person was.
Drew put his hands behind his back and looked around for a week, but he didn't look too carefully. There were so many hills around, so he just picked one at random.
After checking, he turned his gaze towards the direction of the small pond. The long beard on his right ear flew a little in front of him, leaving a purple light spot. The light spot drew a triangular route in the air, and the scene of the small pond appeared in the middle.
When he saw those reporters taking pictures of Todman, he frowned slightly, but then he turned his attention to the armored weirdo.
"Fishing? This guy wants to fish for us!"
Drew was also guessing about the armored monster's purpose, and came to the same opinion as Kevin.
The news from Todman gave the council a sense of urgency. It was certainly not something outlandish like the Bonsells family conspiracy. If the three forces that Todman mentioned were to unite, no, just with a weirdo in armor.
, the parliament has suffered enough, don’t you think it is now?
There's no need for them to beat around the bush like this.
Therefore, what the parliament headquarters cares about is not Todman's unfounded guess, but the huge creature he saw hiding in the desperate situation.
The council, who knew the origin of the Extremis Grassland, had no choice but to connect the creature with the dead god, and even doubted whether the god was resurrected. After all, according to the documents passed down, the huge god had the "god of life."
Such a title.
The Council sent Drew here, firstly, to investigate whether what Todman saw was true, and secondly, to find a way to contact the armored monster.
If that god is really resurrected, they might have to count on the armored monster.
"Since he helped Brica solve the disaster of the gods and gave that woman power, we don't have this opportunity, right?"
That's what the top brass in the parliament think.
Thinking of this, Drew couldn't help but think about how to create opportunities for contact with the armored monster.
He got this fish!
Suddenly, some discoveries made him stop thinking and quickly ducked behind a tree on the side. Then he bumped into Kevin, who had been hiding here before but had no time to leave.
The two sides looked at each other and made no other moves in a tacit understanding, but instead paid attention to the newcomer.
This was an extremely tall and handsome man with slender ears. Although the people present did not recognize who he was, they had a pretty good guess as to his identity.
Someone from the Elf clan actually came.
This elf man was also in the position where Kevin and the others were before, staring in the direction of the pond with bright eyes, his purpose was self-evident.
Another fish!
But this time he didn't look at it for long, when there was another movement from the direction up the mountain, and the elf man ducked behind a nearby tree.
