Pale Emblem

Chapter 95 Natural Disaster Powerhouse

Maddie lit a butter candle, and the dim light enveloped the three at the table.Victor fell into a trance and fell into a feeling of secretly talking with his subordinates, listening to Harvey lowered his voice and said:
"The old wolf talked about two recent events in Fallen Leaves City. The news that Braun Town was captured by the Orcs from Outland has spread. The Fallen Leaves City Council passed a war resolution, dispatched the Redmane Legion to conquer the Orc invaders, and recruited a new army to act as the Redmane's Auxiliary Corps, with a total of [-] soldiers, is expected to recapture the town of Braun by the end of this summer. There is also news that the recapture of Braun is only the beginning of the war, and Fallen Leaf City intends to take the entire Lake Braun basin in one fell swoop."

"...The recruitment of new recruits was completed four months ago. The Red Mane Legion and the new army are stationed near Jinsha Town, Nutshell Town, and Rote Town in Dongbang, the city of leaves."

"The Fallen Leaf City war tax is still being collected, and each person pays a tax of one silver tower per month."

"The headquarters of the Alliance Adventurer's Guild has issued a war mission. At least seven large adventure groups have accepted war missions, and they have also arrived at the Redmane Legion's station."

Maddie's face was bitter, and the wrinkles on his forehead became even deeper, and he sighed and said, "Oh, I don't know if Bartom ran out in the end... He uses orcs and barbarians as his own sharpening stones, but he can happily Fight once. If he dies in Braun, and no one advises the townspeople, there will be a lot of trouble."

At the beginning, the fighting stance of the steel rock in Braun Town like a god's mansion deeply stimulated Boss Bartom.

He has been practicing swords in Bolang Town for 20 years, and the wind and rain have not stopped. At the end, he finally couldn't bear to try his sword against the half-beasts and barbarians who invaded his homeland.

What kind of realm did the Red Lion Bartom reach?
He didn't have a reference before, I'm afraid he doesn't even know it.However, the Dragon Vein Lord Heurante admitted that Bartom was qualified to fight him.Although the confrontation between the two powerhouses was stopped by Sarah, Hurant planted a seed in Bartom's heart.

A swordsman polishes his mind as sharp as a sword, and usually hides it in a scabbard, but eventually he has to show his sword.

As the half-owner of Braun Town, Bartom was very passive in the face of the oppression and provocation of the dragoons, and was not ready for battle at all.

Sarah saw that he and Heurant would definitely die in a fight, so she came forward to stop it.

However, Heurant's affirmation of Bartom made him both annoyed and eager to move.Until his homeland was destroyed, he finally let go of all restraints and resolutely showed his sword to the strong enemy.

Swords that have been tempered and tempered can only be formed after quenching.The glory of the old soldier is also here.At that moment, the outcome of life and death can no longer transcend the meaning of the battle itself.No one can change Bartom's decision.

After so long, the people in the Adventurer's House are still concerned about Bartom's whereabouts, hoping that he can live and reunite with everyone one day.

Harvey wouldn't go directly to the Thieves Guild to inquire about Bartom the Red Lion, and he couldn't even specifically mention Braun Town.He only asked about the major events that happened in Fallen Leaf City recently.The old wolf of the Thieves Guild naturally wants to talk about major events such as Orc invaders, wars, and Braun Town.

The Council of Fallen Leaves City did war mobilization, recruited new soldiers, collected war taxes, and issued war missions to the adventure groups of the entire Dissa Alliance, all of which were expected by everyone.However, Fallen Leaf City's army and major adventure groups have arrived at the three towns of Jinsha, Nutshell and Roth that are closest to Braun Town.The residents of Braun Town, including the mixed-race children raised by the Adventurer's House, also evacuated to these three places.

Who knows what the army commander will do to the fugitives in Braun town if no one comes out to preside over the situation?
Victor asked curiously: "Falling leaves city can recruit a new army so quickly? Can they defeat the half-orc and barbarian coalition in Outland?"

Harvey immediately explained: "Many poor families in the Lower Leaf City State are unable to eat enough, and there are a lot of young people who want to join the Legion. The Legion not only manages food, manages, but also imparts skills. Like me, and Mike S, oh, that's wrong, it's Maddie... We were chosen to join the army, not to mention how happy we were."

Maddie said: "This time recruiting new recruits is different from our time. We don't have to fight. They go directly to the battlefield. Therefore, Fallen Leaf City collects war tax on the basis of the head... Don't look at the monthly head tax of the silver tower, it seems that there is not much, for The poor people in the state are going to die. They have no choice but to sign up for the army. If they fail to pay their taxes, they may be punished with hard labor, or even sold to rich people as private slaves, and the situation will only get worse.”

Victor shook his head and said, "The recruits can't beat the Orcs."

Harvey said: "Yes, recruits are not effective. They can only act as baggage soldiers. The Redmane Legion is the main force in the battle. I heard that the Redmane Legion is one of the three main armies in Fallen Leaf City. It is well equipped and trained. Su. They have 5000 soldiers and a reserve army of 2400 people. Coupled with the elite private soldiers from famous highland families, large and small adventure groups, maybe the female warriors of the Hemer tribe will also participate in the war... They have to defeat a group of equipment Simple orcs and barbarians, no problem at all."

Harvey and Maddie are confident in the half-elf army.In Victor's mind, the image of the butcher leader of the orcs slashing the steel rock in anger appeared.

The butcher's vigorous and knotted body is like an unshakable mountain; his wild roar is full of breathtaking power; his will is like a banner, which brings together the belief that the Orcs are invincible.

Victor seemed to be able to see the birth and growth of the half-orc tribe on the butcher leader.They haven't reached their peak yet, but they are climbing upwards.

Could a Redmane Legion, who has not fought for years, be the opponent of this Orc tribe?

"The Legion in Fallen Leaf City will lose." Victor said in a flat tone, as if stating a fact.

Harvey was stunned, and said anxiously: "Then what should we do? Shall we hurry to Jinsha Town and get our people out?"

He worried that after the Redmane Legion was defeated by the Orcs, not only could they not be able to recover Braun Town, but even Jinsha Town could not be saved.

Maddie is really speechless. To say that Harvey has no brains, he also knows that after the defeat of the Redmane Legion, Jinsha Town is very dangerous; if he has a brain, he will believe whatever Victor says, without asking why.

"The army of Fallen Leaves City will lose the first battle, and it will be uncertain later. However, the half-orcs and barbarians in the outer domain are unable to attack Jinsha Town, and their food is insufficient."

Victor added another sentence, and this topic ends here.The outcome of the war has little to do with them. It can only be said that the information of the Redmane Legion stationed in Jinsha Town is of value to them.But they are out of reach now, and they can only take a step by step, trying to find a way to pick up the people from the Adventurer's House from Jinsha Town.

"Is there any other news?"

Harvey nodded and said, "Do you still remember last summer, the wolf shepherd girl Bertina sneaked into the Fallen Leaf City and killed the highland nobles and city defense soldiers?"

Of course Victor will not forget this matter.The famous Golden Oak Hurant used this as an excuse to slander him as an accomplice of the wolf girl and wanted to detain him in public.This led to a fierce confrontation between the two sides, and even the Shougangyan of the Tagu tribe was disturbed, and led the female warriors of the Hemer tribe to drive the dragon cavalry of the famous Golden Oaks out of Braun Town.

The evil deeds committed by the wolf shepherd girl did not stop there.A long time ago, the city of Rapids issued a wanted order for her, saying that she attacked the armed convoy of the city of rapids, causing dozens of casualties.But no one expected that the wolf shepherd girl would go to Fallen Leaves City to commit a bloody crime, and it was still Highland City, killing the city defense army into rivers of blood, causing countless casualties.The powerhouses in Fallen Leaves City mobilized the regular legion to encircle and suppress Bertina, but they just forced her back.

After this incident, the wolf shepherd girl Bertina became famous and became the number one gangster of the Disa Alliance.

"The old wolf told me that before the female bandit Bertina actually committed the murder, she was lurking in the Dao Street in the slums of Laiye Uttar Pradesh... This Dao Street was not well-known before, it was just an ordinary poor market. It seems to have started last year. , the residents of Dao Street jointly opened two shops, specializing in selling several kinds of specialty dim sum. The specialty dim sum sold in Dao Street is cheap and delicious, and gradually became famous, not only the common people like to eat it, but also the rich. Island Street tasting.”

"That day, several young masters and young ladies from famous highland families came to Dao Street. They clashed with people in the dim sum shop. In a rage, they smashed the dim sum shop and set a fire. I heard that several people were burned to death. Personal. This is not the end. Those young masters and young ladies took away the two cooks who were making dim sum. One of the cooks' children was young and ignorant. ."

"The wolf shepherd girl may not be able to stand it. She stood up to stop those young masters and young ladies. The famous young master doesn't know the wolf shepherd girl. Seeing her beauty, he wants to arrest her as his slave girl."

"This time, Bertina showed the true face of a brutal female gangster... She killed all the bodyguards of the noble young masters on the spot, grabbed the noble young master who fell to the death of the poor child, gouged out his eyes, and cut off his ears and nose. , plucked out his tongue, cut off his limbs, and cut two knives on the faces of the other young masters and young ladies, and asked them to take the tortured noble young master back and threatened to visit his family. They must admit their mistakes and apologize, Otherwise burn them all to death."

"No one expected that before the famous highland family had time to respond, the wolf shepherd girl followed those young masters and young ladies to Highland City. Then, she made a sensational bloody case in Highland City, until she was raped by several strongmen in Highland City. They joined forces to force them back, and their whereabouts are unknown since then.”

"In that bloody killing, the wolf shepherd girl declared her name and title for the first time. She is the 'Queen of Miracles' Bertina."

The burning butter candle suddenly burst into flames, the light and shadow flickered, and Maddie was shocked.He rubbed his chin and said mockingly, "Queen of Miracles Bertina... This cruel powerhouse is truly terrifying."

Harvey nodded in approval: "She is still a beautiful girl, I didn't expect to be so cruel. My lord, what do you think of her?"

Victor raised his head and smiled slightly: "Cruel? Ruthless? I don't think I should use such a positional term to evaluate Bertina 'Queen of Miracles'... I want to say that she is a natural disaster powerhouse."

"The natural disaster powerhouse?" Maddie asked with a puzzled face.

"..." Victor raised his eyebrows slightly and said slowly, "It's like flash floods, wildfires, hurricanes, blizzards, fog..." His thoughts gradually became clear, and his calm tone revealed calm strength, "There is no mercy, No contempt, irresistible, whoever gets involved will die. Yes, 'Queen of Miracles' Bertina is a strong person like a natural disaster. For example, the Dragon King Feirumat, the Shougang Rock of the Tagu tribe are all strong natural disasters By."

"The natural disaster powerhouse... the adults said it well!" Harvey said with a smile.

Maddie didn't bother to pay attention to him, and then asked: "My lord, I have never seen the 'Queen of Miracles'. I saw the appearance of the steel rock clan leader after his transformation. It is indeed powerful beyond imagination. But he was still besieged by orcs and barbarians. Die. I don't quite believe they're as powerful as the Dragon King Ferumart."

Victor shook his head and smiled: "I often listen to your discussions at the Adventurer's Home, who is stronger than who, who is stronger than who... Who is stronger than who? Who is bigger than the Dragon King Fei Lumat? It's better than me; smaller than me, and I'm better than it... Bertina was indeed repelled, probably because she was hungry, thirsty, sleepy, tired... Every life has its own limits , put them together to compare who is stronger and who is weaker, I think it is particularly ridiculous. I said that Bertina, Gangyan, and Dragon King Fei Lumat are the strong natural disasters, because their abilities are like natural disasters, and their mentality when fighting It's also like a natural disaster. These are relative... For example, you are also a natural disaster relative to an ant. Do you feel cruel because you stepped on the ant's nest?"

Maddie smiled bitterly: "I seem to understand, but... Gangyan kills orcs and barbarians. I only see his strength and don't think he is cruel. It's okay for the 'Queen of Miracles' to kill the famous young master who offended her, but she Gouging out eyes and beheading hands. Isn't it cruel?" After speaking, he carefully observed Victor's face and admonished tactfully:

"My lord, if I step on the ant nest, it's fine. But I won't go out of my way to trouble the ants."

Victor was inexplicably annoyed, and said coldly: "The information given by the thieves may not be reliable. Bertina tortured the famous young master. Did the Thieves Guild see it with her own eyes? Even if the thieves witnessed the whole process, the old wolf and Harvey said what Is the situation the truth?" He paused, then said cheerfully, "I'm very interested in the 'Queen of Miracles' and hope to see her in the future."

Harvey instantly straightened his waist and said in a hurried tone: "Sir, then we have to hurry up. Because many people are looking for her, the 'Queen of Miracles' has been wanted by the highest council of the alliance, so let her hang up A reward of 100 million gold pagoda."

Maddie's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "So high?!"

Harvey glanced at him and said: "The storm of the wolf shepherd girl hasn't passed yet... After Bertina escaped, the private army of the famous highland sect leveled the island street and arrested all the residents of the island street. The private army is still everywhere. A total of more than 300 people were sentenced to cage sentences for arresting female bandit Bertina's accomplices. Their bones are still hanging outside Beibang City, Fallen Leaves City. All passers-by can see hanging cages and the corpses inside the cages. ."

Cage torture means stuffing prisoners into small iron cages and hanging them outside the city, where prisoners are left to die of hunger and thirst in the cage, exposed to the wind, sun, rain and snow.

Since the Disa League introduced slavery, there have been fewer executions for criminals, not to mention the costly iron-cage punishment.

This is simply a cruel lynching.

Because of their anger, the famous nobles of Ye Yecheng leveled a street and put more than 300 poor people into iron cages, trapped to death.Such a tragic event is unimaginable and unbearable.

Maddie clenched his fists, his whole body trembling slightly.The more he tried to control, the more he trembled.

"Right now, Fallen Leaf City is still arresting Bertina's accomplices. The old wolf said, don't get involved with her. We should be more careful in crowded places, and we can't talk about anything about Bertina with others, otherwise we will be It's going to cause big trouble."

Victor was silent for a long time, only saying: "They are afraid."

　Uh, I don't have time to code words today, just one chapter.

　　I first find a corner and squat down with my head in my arms.
