Chapter 815: Brutal Rebels
When they heard that Aged wanted Xingfeng to lead the reserve team, not only Acecher couldn't hold it anymore, but the other councilors couldn't hold it anymore either.
Everyone stood up and took turns to persuade:
"Hey, hey, hey, we can't let His Highness Xingfeng put himself in danger. He is the future star of our Bracada."
"Yes, Agaide is always in charge. There is no trivial matter in war, and evildoers will not blink an eye. If His Highness Xingfeng makes any mistake, it will be a loss for our entire Bracada.
They are just a bunch of rebels, why would His Highness Xingfeng need to go to the battlefield?"
Aged sighed deeply in his heart.
You all understand it, how could I not understand it?
How would I know why my apprentice suddenly went crazy? Isn't this making things difficult for an old man like me?
There is no other way. No matter how difficult it is to do what my apprentice asks me to do, I have to do it.
Aged sighed pretentiously, shook his head occasionally, and tried hard to buy time.
He racked his brains and finally came up with a reasonable excuse.
"Hey, everyone. I don't want my apprentice to go to the battlefield.
But what everyone doesn’t know is that my apprentice Xingfeng really wants to make progress!
As everyone knows, my apprentice’s talent is just so-so, and it only took him a few years to go from an ordinary hero to a master hero.
The pace of progress is too fast, and the consequence is that the foundation is unstable.
He didn't go to the Chaos Border where others were supposed to guard, and he didn't fight the Chaos monsters that others were supposed to fight.
Xingfeng appears to be a master, but in reality his fighting ability is extremely poor. He can't even defeat any random enemy.
In addition, he was lucky enough to take over a Chaos Treasure House and was directly promoted to a reserve permanent position. His promotion was too fast, so it was inevitable that he was special.
My apprentice has always been worried about not having enough merit.
He often told me that he was feeling very uncomfortable sitting in this permanent position.
These rebels dared to betray us, Bracada. That is a heinous crime and will not be tolerated in this world.
In the war to quell the rebellion, my apprentice, as a reserve permanent officer, has no choice but to take part. He must go whether he is capable enough or not.
Fortunately, with the guidance of the Grand Chancellor and Favona, my apprentice can also gain some experience and gain some practical experience, so that he won't be just a show-off forever."
“Oh~~”
When Aged said this, everyone suddenly understood.
So that's how it is. After all, it's just a desire to gild yourself!
I understand. I understand.
With the leaders of the two factions, Fafnir and Escher, personally taking action to suppress the rebellion, the rebels would not be able to cause any trouble even if they had three heads and six arms.
He let Xingfeng be the commander of the reserve troops. How could the reserve troops go to the battlefield when the regular army was still alive?
Aged wanted Xingfeng to follow behind and get some credit.
Tsk, this old thief is so cunning and has ulterior motives.
Xingfeng has only been a master for a short time, and he is already thinking about climbing up the ladder by gilding himself. This is simply too much.
This kid wants to improve himself so much, can't he give us any chance to survive?
Eschel looked at Aged deeply and laughed in his heart.
OK, OK, so this is how you play it, right? You want to gild yourself, right? You want to give me your apprentice, right?
It just so happens that I'm lacking a reason to force Titan to take action. The death of an architect would be more than enough.
Old brother, since you sent your apprentice here, you can't blame me for crushing him to death.
Don't accuse me of being an ungrateful brother. This is the path you chose.
Escher smiled slightly:
“According to the rules, the commander of our Bracada Legion must be at least a legend, not a master.
However, His Highness Xingfeng is an architect, half a level higher than a normal master.
He was commanding the reserve forces, so it was not impossible to make some concessions.
But as the Speaker, I cannot act arbitrarily, grant privileges arbitrarily, or set precedents arbitrarily.
In that case, let’s vote by raising our hands.
Those who disagree with His Highness Xingfeng serving as the commander of the reserve forces, please raise your hands. "
Eschel looked towards the hall. All the congressmen were sitting quietly, and no one raised their hands.
There are people who dare to cast a dissenting vote in an anonymous vote. Raising your hand in front of others is just a joke.
"Well, very good, all passed. That's settled then."
Escher looked at Arged and said with a smile:
"Permanent Commander Agaide, please notify the reserve permanent commander of Xingfeng to report to the Military Affairs Office and receive the troops within two hours.
Within three hours, the troops were ready to board the airship and march.
Military orders are as heavy as a mountain, and we cannot delay for even a second!"
"clear."
Argaid nodded seriously.
…
…
An hour later, the seven pigeons hurried to the Aegeid Magic Tower.
Looking at the seven pigeons emerging from the Water Gate, Aged, who had been pacing back and forth, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are you doing, you little brat? Why did you come just now? The Military Affairs Office has urged me several times.
Even Escher sent people to inquire about the situation. So many people are waiting for you.
You are going to fight, not play."
Qi Ge lowered his head guiltily:
"I'm sorry, teacher. I went to make some preparations just in case.
I will go to the Military Affairs Office now."
Just as the Seven Pigeons were about to leave, Aged suddenly reached out and grabbed the Seven Pigeons.
"Wait."
He took out a large pile of things and piled them at the feet of the Seven Pigeons.
"The scroll of the gate of time and space, the scroll of the gate of another dimension, the scroll of forced escape from battle and the one-time treasure, as well as the void potion to prevent tracking, the anti-curse charm to prevent curse, the invisibility cloak, the speed potion, and the scroll of the magic of flight.
Finally, there are these thousand bottles of energy potions.
Time is limited, so that's all I have.
Teacher, I have limited abilities and a poor brain, so I can’t understand why you insist on going to the battlefield.
But, teacher, I know that nothing is impossible to overcome. We will deal with it as it comes. No matter what happens, don't try to be stubborn.
Qi Ge, when you are on the battlefield, be smart. If you see the rebels, run away quickly. Don't try to show off your bravery or fight hard.
Even if you are chosen by Yasha, you still have to pay attention to safety.
Bracada is not worth your life, our lives as master and disciple are precious."
Aged patted Qi Ge's hand and spoke earnestly.
Qi Ge felt Aged's sincere heart and was deeply moved.
To be honest, in the world of Yasa, Aged really has nothing to say about himself. Even his biological father in real life is not so good to him.
He nodded solemnly and agreed: "Teacher, don't worry, I know what I am doing."
Carrying a bunch of life-saving items and energy potions, Qi Ge rushed to the Bracada Military Affairs Office without stopping.
Fafner, who received the notice in advance, came to greet him in advance.
When good friends meet, they are especially cordial.
After the greetings, Fafner brought the seven pigeons into the military parade ground of the Grand Council to prepare for the inspection of the troops.
Bang!
Rows of magnificent golden men stood in neat rows, emitting dazzling light.
Dozens of high-level lamp gods were suspended in the air, and the magic power surging from their bodies had formed a blue glow visible to the naked eye, making the air a little sticky.
A large group of white gargoyles were distributed around the troops, and their lightbulb-sized eyeballs were constantly scanning the surroundings.
Hundreds of high-level mages in different attire stood in a row, their eyes sparkling, and it was obvious that they were well-trained.
In addition to them, there was a large group of well-equipped high-level goblins busy on the armed airship. Qi Ge even saw a small team of well-trained Naga guards!
Qi Ge was almost blinded by the various lights shining before his eyes.
He turned aside in shock and asked Fafnir, who was waiting for him with a smile:
"Your Majesty, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?
You call this a reserve force, so how strong must the main force be?"
"Hahaha."
Fafnir patted Qi Ge's shoulder:
"Regular reserve forces certainly don't have this configuration, but you are the commander leading the expedition this time, so how can you be so casual?
In order to ensure that the reserve forces can better complete their support missions, I have made some minor adjustments to the reserve forces.
I replaced the original 1,600 low-level goblins with 400 level 5 [Fairy Mechanical Masters], who can better control the armed fortress.
I replaced the gargoyles with [Holy White Gargoyles] which can continuously heal nearby friendly units. They also have a powerful special skill called Grand Appearance, which allows them to rush to your side as soon as you are attacked.
All two thousand iron men were replaced with level 5 [Armored Golden Men], which have higher defense, stronger combat power, and taunting skills, making them good at delaying time.
I replaced the 3rd-level mage team with a 5th-level spellcasting team, and you have all the four conventional mages of earth, fire, water and wind, as well as two mental mages who are ready to defend against mental magic, to protect your safety in all directions.
I replaced the tier 3 genie with the tier 5 [Fantasy Aladdin]. The most powerful feature of this soldier is that it can release instant movement continuously and quickly.
I have already told them that if a fight really breaks out, they will take you away immediately and your shadow rebels won't be able to step on you.
The most important thing is this group of Naga guards. They are all well-trained masters with anti-stealth capabilities. No assassin can get past them."
Looking at Fafnir's smug look, Qi Ge was a little amused and helpless for a moment.
Come on, this is the beggar version of the reserve troops that was forcibly upgraded to the demigod’s personal guards.
Taking this configuration to the battlefield is like going on a trip.
The question is, what do I need such a good soldier for? My purpose this time is to be a spy and help the rebels fight Bracada!
You have arranged so many bodyguards to keep a close eye on me, how can I do anything?
"Hehe." Fafnir put his hand on Qi Ge's shoulder, and the dog laughed sneakily:
“That’s right, I still don’t think it’s safe enough, so I took the initiative and assigned you a deputy commander.
With her around, you can get the credit safely even if you sleep in an armed fortress every day."
Qi Ge: ???
While Qi Ge was still confused, Fafnir shouted loudly to the armed fortress:
"Come out, the Xingfeng you've been thinking about is here."
Hmm!!!
The skylight on the top of the armed fortress suddenly opened, and a smiling girl leaned out her flat body and greeted Qi Ge cheerfully:
"Xingfeng~~We can fight side by side again."
Seven Pigeons: ...
Serena!
I'm really impressed. As a legendary genius, why don't you stay with Somla and learn magic instead of coming to me?
Under your eagle eyes, I still want to do something? You can see me clearly even when I change my underwear.
You, a legendary hero, come to serve as my master's deputy commander. Is that reasonable?
Qi Ge has a toothache.
Qi Ge was totally shocked, but he had to pretend to be cheerful on the outside and waved to Serena from a distance.
"Hahaha!" Fafnir laughed and patted Qi Ge's shoulder fiercely:
"How about it, uncle, the opportunity I arranged for you is good, isn't it?
You two are busier than each other and have no time to spend together. Now, you will be able to stay in the airship as long as the rebellion war lasts.
While you are still not married, enjoy the sweet time before marriage. Don't worry, this armed fortress was carefully selected by me, and it has excellent sound insulation effect. "
"Haha, Your Majesty Fafner, you are so thoughtful. Thank you so much."
Qi Ge gritted his teeth and smiled as he thanked Fafnir, the corners of his mouth almost twitching.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore, I'm leaving first.
Don't waste too much time meeting each other. There will be plenty of opportunities to have fun along the way. Go and report first.
Don’t ever forget it.”
Fafnir gave some instructions, then walked away happily, swaying his body, exuding a smug look of "I really did a great thing", which made Qi Ge very angry.
He sighed in his heart, put on a perfect smile, and ran towards the armed fortress.
"Arm your troops and get ready to go!"
…
…
Boom!!!
The roar of the magic crystal cannon resounded across the battlefield.
The gorgeous magic tower and the expensive military factory were like weak little girls who could only sob silently under the endless bombardment of the magic crystal cannons, unable to resist. In the end, they were messed up and could no longer stand, and collapsed.
When the smoke cleared, Picklejem, who looked infinitely younger and more handsome, stood among the ruins with a cruel and overbearing look in his eyes.
After changing his race, Picklejem's personality almost changed.
"Lord God's Messenger!"
A wizard in a white robe, holding up the hem of his robe, ran anxiously to Pickjam, stepping on rocks and broken tiles.
"Lord God's Messenger, we carefully checked the material warehouses and all the cellars and found that they were all empty. Not to mention resources and wealth, we couldn't even find moldy food."
"Huh? How is that possible?"
Picklejem said viciously:
"Xuanguang City is the main road connecting to Dengta City. All logistical supplies heading to Dengta City will be robbed by Xuanguang City.
It’s okay if other cities are poor, but how could Xuanguang City be poor!
What can you find when you search the public treasury? It is common knowledge in Bracada that the public treasury is empty and the private treasury is full.
If it’s not in the backpack of the useless city lord of Xuanguang City, then it must be in the city. Go search for me!
Dig three feet deep into the ground and kill all the residents in the city to find them out. This is the mission given to us by the new Lord. If you fail to complete it, you will all commit suicide!"
"Yes!" The wizard retreated in fear and left in a hurry.
Pickjem tugged at his collar impatiently and cursed inwardly:
"Useless thing, mentally defective guy, just stupid!
Let me think where those resources might be hidden.
Lord Moston was timid and greedy, and he even married a member of the great sage's family as his wife.
His wife is fickle and has cheated on him many times.
Out of revenge, he kept many concubines outside.
The wealth he embezzled should be kept by his concubines.
It seems that I have to search all the concubines one by one, carefully, and not let go of any of them no matter how deep they hide. "
Picklejem licked his lips, his bright red fangs looming in his mouth.
