Chapter 291: Mr. Peach


Chapter 291: Mr.

Peach To the east of the city of Denzel, about a hundred miles from the city of Denzel, there is a stream that originates in a certain hilly mountain range in the northern part of the Byzantine Empire.

And it was this stream that was an important part of the northern part of the Byzantine Empire, and almost all the maps of the empire would indicate this very small stream.

Because of this stream, it became the border between the two grain-producing counties in the north of the empire, to the east of the stream, the county of Nodes, and to the west, the county of Moore.

It was already evening, and about a hundred meters on the east bank of the stream, on a dirt slope, there stood a figure standing quietly, with eyes as sharp as an eagle, crossing the stream and looking far to the west.

This figure is not tall, but standing there, the sunset in the sky seems to be shrouded behind him, and under the ten thousand rays of light, it makes him look incomparably majestic.

And less than a step beside him, a black triangular war gun longer than his body was inserted into the ground, the smooth barrel faintly exuding a soft and dark luster, and there were faint thin metal lines on the barrel.

About ten paces behind this figure, several men with majestic bodies like beasts all looked at the back of the man on the hillside with reverent eyes.

After watching for a full quarter of an hour, Hastings finally sighed softly, and when he turned around, the long black cloak behind him was gently raised, as if at this moment, there was a dark shadow on his body, almost blocking the light from the sky.

Standing ten steps away, you can clearly feel the evil aura on this Odin Valkyrie "Did it fail?"

Hasting's tone seemed to be just very casual, but the dozen or so Odin warriors lowered their heads one after another, not daring to make eye contact with him, and the first one whispered: "Yes, respected fearless Valkyrie, we have tarnished your prestige Those Byzantines are very brave, a hundred times stronger than those sheep we have encountered before, we have tried several times, they have all bravely met him, and they are not lacking in the courage to fight and sacrifice."

Hasting's expression remained unchanged: "How many people have been lost" "A total of one hundred and sixty brave warriors died by the sword of the Byzantines."

The majestic man under his command raised his head: "Honorable lord, do you want to transfer a banner from the army, as long as there is a banner of troops, we are sure to destroy the city of Denzel and let those damned Byzantines groan and scream under our blades" Hastings snorted and glanced at the subordinate, "No need. ” He raised one of his hands and looked at his palm: "This matter must be kept secret and not let too many people know." ” "Yes" The Odin man immediately lowered his head: "We swear to follow the great Hasteen to the death, and we will never let this matter leak in the slightest."

After a pause, a peaceful smile appeared on his cold face: "I believe in your loyalty.

Okay, where is Mr.

Peach?"

Several Odin warriors glanced at each other, and the leader whispered, "Peach, Mr.

Peach said he went for a walk by the stream." ” "Hmph, scatter."

Hastings was noncommittal, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

A hundred meters away from the hillside, in a forest by the stream, a figure is sitting by the river, with a pair of shoes crookedly beside him, and a pair of feet into the river water and gently shake.

As if sitting by the river is very pleasant, this person hummed an unknown song, his feet picked up back and forth in the river water, and after a while, he sighed: "Alas, this cool river water soaks your feet, watching the sunset, blowing the evening breeze If you have a little more wine at this time, it will be even more wonderful." ” After speaking, he seemed to tilt his shoulders, turned half of his head sideways, and smiled behind him: "Are you right, Hasting" Behind him, Hastings was already standing on the riverbank, looking at this person's back condescendingly, without saying a word, just throwing a leather bag over casually, this person caught it with his backhand, sniffed it after unscrewing it, and was immediately overjoyed: "Good thing, I heard that you govern the army very strictly, and alcohol is forbidden during the march, but I didn't expect that you are the commander-in-chief, and you still have it on you" After laughing a few times, he poured a few sips, and then wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth vigorously, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's a pity that it's not bad, the ability of the Odin people to make wine is too poor, and they blindly pursue strength, more than spicy, mellow but insufficient."

Hasting's face was expressionless, and he said coldly: "It's good to drink some." ” When the man heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "I have a way."

He poured out half of the wine in his pouch at will, soaked it in the stream water, poured a lot of water, grabbed it in his hand and shook it a few times, and said with a smile: "This tastes much lighter."

After two more sips, he handed the skin to Hasting: "You can taste it too" Hastings didn't stretch out his hand to take it, but just looked at the man's feet soaked in the stream, and said coldly: "I'm not interested in drinking footwater, you can keep it for yourself." ” When the man heard this, he was not angry, but put away his skin, tucked it on his belt, and then jumped up, and without wiping his wet feet, he put on his shoes.

After this man stood up, his figure was slightly taller than Hasting, but his appearance was old, his face was full of deep wrinkles, the corners of his mouth and eyes, the thin lines were like carved out of a knife, if he looked at it purely from his appearance, he was just an ordinary old man, but those eyes should have been cloudy, but they looked as clear as water An old man of his age should never have such a pair of clear eyes.

It seems that when you see these eyes, you will ignore his original slightly crude and mediocre appearance, such eyes, growing on his face, are like two brilliant gems inlaid in the root of a decaying tree.

"Failed" He looked at Hastings and smiled, and walked straight towards the woods.

Hastings silently followed behind this person, the two walked into the woods together, found a random stone and sat down, this person also picked a wide leaf, and gently fanned the wind like a fan, and then looked into Hasting's eyes: "It seems that it has failed."

Otherwise, you shouldn't have such an expression. ” Hastings let out a long sigh, "Mr.

Momo, we're in some trouble. ” "It's you who's in trouble, not us."

The man, Mr.

Peach, shook his head and pointed at Hastings with the root of the leaves: "Anyway, it doesn't matter to me if I can't find that place, but for you, if you can't find that place, hum."

Hastings was silent, lowered his head and thought for a while, before he suddenly raised his head, and did not talk nonsense, and said directly: "I originally thought that Moore County was Manninger's territory, but I sent someone over, only to find that there was actually a resistance force in Denzel City, and I don't know what happened to that guy Manninger, who actually left such an enemy army behind him."

If it is ordinary, it is nothing, but the soldiers of a city can be easily destroyed, but you also know that our affairs cannot be known to Manninger, let alone any Odin nobles.

Even my Black Flag Army, I can only bring out these hundreds of henchmen. ” "Hmm."

Mr.

Peach squinted, as if inadvertently, but nodded lazily.

Hastings continued: "Originally, I thought that this resistance force was as weak as the other local Byzantine garrisons, and sent a few hundred cavalry to disturb them, and they were frightened, and they should have retreated honestly, or simply abandoned the city and ran away, or honestly retreated in the city.

But this Byzantine army is quite backbone, and it actually fought a few hard battles with my people, and its combat effectiveness is not weak, which I didn't expect. ” Speaking of this, Hastings finally sighed: "This matter is secret, I can't transfer troops to destroy this enemy army with great fanfare, and I can't let Manninger know that there are only a few hundred people in his hands, and I can't scare these guys away."

His eyebrows tightened: "If Manninger knows that I am leading troops across the border, it will be troublesome, and our actions must not be discovered by him."

"It's you, not us."

Mr.

Tao still looks breezy.

Hasting's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and he said coldly: "Mr.

Tao, it's too late to say such things now." ” "Ha" Mr.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Tao smiled: "The dignified Odin Valkyrie Hasting, if you go out in person, you can sweep that city away by yourself, what is there to worry about?"

"Hmph."

Hasting's face was gloomy: "If I can make a move, do I still have to wait for you to do it now, but you Mr.

Tao, I still want to ask you to make a move."

"I" Mr.

Tao's eyes narrowed even more thinly, and he slowly shook his head: "You don't have to count on it.

The whole continent understands that it was a contract made decades ago that the strong will not compete with the world, and if I break it, I am afraid that when the time comes, His Majesty Hannigan will personally come out of the imperial city to kill me. ” Hastings was silent, he was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I can't do it." ” A trace of bitterness appeared on his resolute face: "You know, the God Emperor has always been suspicious of me, over the years, I have been an outsider calling for wind and rain in Odin, although the God Emperor has reused me, but his suspicion of me has not diminished for a moment.

I've been hiding myself for many years, but I don't want him to see through my depths, if he knows, I'm afraid that the God Emperor will be the first to kill, and it's me."

"Alas, when you are the God Emperor, don't you really know your depth now" Mr.

Tao suddenly sneered: "But if you don't make a move, it's wise, once you really make a move, then Hannigan has a reason to move you, over the years, he has reused you on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has been guarding against you, in my opinion, he has wanted to kill you a long time ago, but you, the name of the Odin Valkyrie, are too big, and he doesn't want to cause civil strife, so he has been sitting back and watching you until today." ” Hasting's face was calm, but there was a hint of complexity in his eyes, and he sat there for a long time before he whispered: "Are you willing to find a way, if you continue to stay out of the matter, then this opportunity is lost, and we will never find such a good opportunity again, once Manninger waves his army back to the division and destroys the resistance army in Denzel City, he has a defense, and I want to get involved in Moore County again."

"Actually, that's not your real doubt."

Mr.

Peach put down the leaf in his hand: "You are already eager to try it in your heart, and you already have the idea of taking a risk, but I am worried that if that place is not in the north of Mooreshire, you will take the risk and expose your strength, give the God Emperor an excuse, and you will not get what you want."

Hastings raised his head, stared at Mr.

Tao, and said coldly: "This is going to ask you the exact location of that place, you told me so you had better not be mistaken, otherwise, once the thing doesn't work out, I will be the first to kill you first."

At the end, a black aura flashed in his eyes "Now that you've made a decision, ask me what to do."

Under Hasting's fierce eyes, Mr.

Tao seemed to be fearless, and said lightly: "I have already told you everything I know, and I guarantee that what I said is not false."

It's just that since you have really decided, then hehe, you must understand that it is up to people to make things happen, and there is only five points of success in this matter You also said that this is your last chance, if you miss this time, Hmph, Hannigan has already made up his mind to move you anyway, if you seize this opportunity, then next, you have the capital to deal with him, if you miss this time, you are a lamb under his paws Don't look at you as Odin Valkyrie, but you and I both know that if Hannigan really makes a move, you don't have a chance at all in this world, no one can resist his edge Maybe thirty years ago, that guy in Babylon could still do it, but thirty years later, Hannigan is already truly number one in the world."

When he finally said the phrase "first in the world", Hasting's eyes were obviously bright, and when the sharp edge flashed, he stood up, looked up at the west bank, and exhaled softly.

Behind him, Mr.

Tao's eyes were complicated, and he said in a low voice: "Since you have made up your mind that the strong do not compete with the world, then" "If it happens, even Hannigan won't be able to take me in the future, and although there are many other strong people in the world, I don't have to pay attention to it anymore."

After a pause, Hastings smiled softly.

"Okay, I bet" But in just a few words, it seems to contain endless absoluteness To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
