Destiny Thief

Chapter 149 Recurring History I
Sai Lun carried a heavy cloth bag, which was bulging and full of things. On his broad shoulders, this bag had an obvious concave deformation - as the adjutant of the admiral, he and other officers Mixing in with the soldiers coming and going to carry out the work, the supplies obtained from the overseas islands this time finally gave him a long-lost smile on his face.

In recent days, news after news has been received one after another is really too disappointing - a fake Karthus envoy has come to Afron, they thought they had ushered in a turning point.Then, I learned about that guy's unusual behavior from the reception at the Clover Manor of the Escud family.At the suggestion of Lord Leos, he rode a horse to Karthus, and in the mansion full of decadence and dilapidation, he met Adam Aronius, Duke of Nogo.After not seeing him for many years, the old man's face became like a piece of dried orange peel, covered with unsightly, dark age spots, his hair was thinning, and his eyes were cloudy.However, most of the time, a young man with outstanding temperament is by the old man's side.

Under the introduction of the old Adam, he knew the identity of the young man - the former knight captain of the Kingdom Legion, and now the military staff of the Nogo Lord's Mansion, Lecter.

The real, authentic hero of the North, Lecter!
Then, the envoy who came to Afron was definitely a fake—Seren didn't tell the truth on the spot, he came to Karthus in the name of official business, he just asked old Adam about Nogo's recent situation.According to the duke's relationship with the royal family, his words hinted at a request for help——

However, he did not get the desired result.The current situation of Karthus is just like what he saw. The once largest city in the Northland has long lost its name. Compared with the port city of Avron, the city streets here are deserted, and occasionally a few civilians appear in the corner, and most of them are yellow and emaciated They set up simple and dilapidated tents all over the streets. Because they could not find a stable livelihood, the elderly and children became poor beggars; men were forced to go to Competing for all kinds of coolie jobs in exchange for a piece of cheap wheat cake; and those women with a little bit of beauty haunt the streets at night, becoming the cheapest wandering warblers.

Really, has the situation collapsed to such an extent?

The outside world rumored that Duke Nogo was old and fatuous. Seeing these scenes, Salem had to admit these statements in his heart. For Afron's Royal Navy, a little hope from the outside was completely cut off——Will Leo After Mr. Si's letter was delivered to the old man, Salem declined the duke's invitation to a banquet. When he walked out of the lord's mansion, he walked shoulder to shoulder with the young man named Lecter, but he didn't say a few words.

In a corner of the lord's mansion, daisies are quietly blooming in the flower garden - this is a specially cultivated and precious species, and the petals have a bright red color.But this beautiful color fell into his eyes, but for some reason, he seemed to see a splatter of blood, and the tragic situation of the common people in the kingdom came back before his eyes. Those silent scenes suddenly made his mood change. Very heavy.

He shook Lecter's hand in good-bye and mounted his horse.From the young man's eyes, he saw deep sadness, but a trace of perseverance still existed, and the back of this Northland hero was still straight——

"good luck."

He raised his whip, and Lecter called after him.He looked back and said the same blessing. The horse's hooves stepped on the empty street, the wind kept whistling in his ears, and all that remained on his face was a bitter smile.

The worst-case scenario is probably like this—Seren traveled all the way through Nogo and returned to the Royal Navy camp in Afron. He practiced martial arts day and night, trying to forget something with physical exhaustion. Until today, the returned " The Mayflower brought him a surprise scene in front of him.

The soldiers who delivered the order hurried into his barracks, even forgetting the custom of standing outside the door to announce, and he didn't care too much.On the battleship, he saw his long-lost comrades-in-arms Calis and August. They hugged each other tightly. The corners of their eyes could not help but hold tears in their reunion at this moment.

Apart from the five-masted warship "Mayflower", there are three three-masted warships "Palmelas", "Ginkgo", and "Crescent Moon" anchored at the port at this moment. The "Iron Anchor", which is almost the entire property of the Afron local fleet - after Sairen returned from Karthus, the Royal Navy made an extremely important decision.

A decision that could change the situation in Afron.

But this is also a very risky gamble!

After carrying the supplies, the officers didn't care about being tired. They gathered around Admiral Leos and started an impromptu meeting...

……

Dill's Invasion - Glo didn't know what was going on in the Undead Council at this time.He recalled the history in the game: in the 554th year of the continental calendar, which was later called the "Year of Blood", the first year of the game's service, in the Nogo mountains, the white winter snow on the ridges began to melt, and the trees The branches spit out new shoots, the seeds of weeds grow tenaciously from the cracks in the rocks, the snake and the brown bear are active again after a complete hibernation...

Some daring farmers returned to their hometown villages. In the current autumn, they seized the time to sow some grain, and then saved as much wealth as possible through various means. The nobles no longer cared about sending people to collect taxes, and the commoners Efforts to restore the homeland destroyed by the war——

But these efforts became meaningless after Dill's dead once again launched an invasion war—from skeletons, ghouls, and carrion puppets to liches, death knights, and vampires, the citizens of the kingdom of death , have no interest in human grains and food, their eyes have always been fixed on fresh flesh and blood.

The nobles seem to be unaware of this. They are still having fun all day and all night. During the time they stayed in Avron, every day from dusk until late at night, the nobles near Clover Manor He heard the melodious court music, the singing of gentlemen and the joyous screams of noble ladies... The wheel of history was moving along the original track, but he found that, with his current strength and status, He can't do anything, can't do anything.

It was another sunny day. Glo and Radiya were walking in the bustling streets of Afron. This is the southern city. Glo seemed distracted.
