Chapter 42 Choice

Dun and Norther were in a certain position in the high mountain overlooking the capital. When the fortress of the Lei family made a loud noise and emitted thick gray smoke, Dun and Norther were immediately alarmed by the trouble and danger of the matter.

The sound that could be heard by two people in the deep mountain must be something happened, and the familiar gray and black smoke is unique to the Kingdom of Swords, which means that something from that fortress must have something to do with the hostage team. member related.

There was no doubt about what happened to Jieshi or Fengao.

"Vice-captain, what should we do?"

In terms of identity, he is a member of the hostage team, but whether it is in terms of duty or mentality, Noser doesn't really want to go to die, so he still asks a little question because of his identity.

After all, the next action still depends on the judgment of the deputy captain.

"Standby."

"That, yes, I understand."

With his right hand leaning against the corner of his eyebrows, he made a very standard posture of receiving orders, and in his heart was a happy mood that he didn't need to investigate.

There was still a hint of anxiety.

Leaving aside Jieshi, the criminal, as Feng Ao of the same rank, Noser would still be worried to some extent.

Of course, he didn't forget that he was threatened by Feng Ao with a rapier, it was purely a worry as a team member.

"Vice-captain, the time is almost up."

Noser suppressed the joy in his heart, fixed his eyes on the gate of the capital, saw more than a dozen magicians running out and formed a team, subconsciously felt something bad, and said in a roundabout way, "We may be in danger" message.

"Standby."

Looking at the same position as Norther, but compared to Norther's seemingly calm appearance, which was actually flustered and overwhelmed, Dun maintained his usual solemn and serious expression, staring directly at the gate of the capital.

Because the gate suddenly turned into a big battle, no matter how you look at it, it is difficult to move away, especially since an incident related to team members has just happened, it is impossible not to associate with your own team members again.

Due to the lack of light and not being too conspicuous, it is impossible to see the dusty battle situation clearly. This situation hinders the judgment of whether to go to the rescue or leave quickly.

The only thing to do is to stay here and wait for the result.

The worst plan is to bring back the information about seeing the corpses of his team members back to the Kingdom of Swords.

"Vice-captain, I don't know if I read it wrong just now, I seem to see the king fighting!"

Fear rushed into Noser's body in an instant, and he knelt on the ground with his blue face limp.

If it was normal, Dun would definitely give a lecture to teach this weak character, but it is obvious that the content of this sentence is more important, and Norther's behavior can even be slightly forgiven.

The king's departure is very important and far-reaching in terms of combat power and representative significance.

"You read that right?"

"I'm not sure, but there is a guy in white clothes in that group of magicians. It's really eye-catching. I'm sure I read it right."

"White robe battle uniform."

According to Norther's simple description, he understood the customary clothes that the king usually wears.

It was a suit specially ordered by His Majesty the King. Not only was it heavy and inconvenient to move, it was a standard magician's robe that did not belong in battle.

Almost no one among magicians would wear it, except the king.

The detailed reason is unknown, but it is only speculated from the impression that Dun usually sees the king, that is, the shortcomings of this dress may have been overcome by the king long ago.

Only the king can completely disregard the shortcomings of the war robe. It can be said that the conspicuous silver-white war robe represents the king of the Magic Kingdom.

"Vice-captain, do you still want to stand by here?"

Not eager to fight, but the question of "begging to get out of here" released from the eyes.

After all, the emergence of the king represents the emergence of the strongest military force in the Magic Kingdom. The Magic Kingdom has always used powerful magic to suppress the other two countries. Although everyone in the Kingdom of Swords is unwilling to admit it, the Magic Kingdom is indeed the strongest. nation.

There is no need to doubt the king who can stand at the pinnacle of all strengths.

"Comrade Bavi Noser, prepare yourself mentally."

"Psychological preparation?"

After absorbing the brief information, especially the white figure mentioned by Noser, this information made Dun ponder for two seconds and then made a decision.

"Once the time is up and you still don't show up, go immediately."

"Yes!"

Hearing that he could leave this dangerous place, Noser sighed in relief, and the tension in his heart was immediately relieved.

But remembering the psychological preparation that the deputy captain said, another nervousness pervaded the whole body again.

"Vice Captain, if they don't make it in time, can we just escape like this?"

No matter from which angle or how to package it, the decision of the vice-captain lacks honor, dignity, and it can even be said that he ran away out of fear.

If the nobles of the kingdom of swords deliberately use this point to insult the vice-captain, they can't refute it with any reason.

The hero who was supposed to return to the kingdom of swords in glory turned into a street mouse who fled back home.

The star-like Dun was treated with contempt. Thinking of this scene, Noser felt unhappy and anxious for a while.

"That's right, we're going to escape."

Keeping his eyes fixed on the gate of the capital, he blurted out this order as easily as he used to chat with his partners.

He didn't show any signs of failure or loss, as if this escape didn't cost him any face at all.

"Vice-captain, aren't you worried that when we go back to our country, some people will say that we are cowards?"

"It's what's bound to happen."

"In that case, wouldn't you at least take Fuou, who is a nobleman, back home?"

"What we have to do is to be able to send the information back to the country safely."

"It's going to hurt our reputation."

Facing Norther's worried question, Dun shook his head slightly.

"Dignity, glory, there is something more important before these."

"what?"

"Loyalty and trust to the country. Our intelligence will greatly affect the security of the country. In this case, our dignity is nothing."

"This……"

It is impossible to understand how strong the deputy captain's determination to dedicate to the country is, but this action is enough to prove Dun's decision.

As long as it is anything that can help the country, he will take action, even if he sacrifices his friend's life and flees back to the country without hesitation.

And such a move will undoubtedly destroy Noser's chance of returning to the country to be promoted, but he is only a member, not a captain class, and all he can do is accept orders.

The first thing to do when you return to the country is to take actions to mitigate the damage to your own reputation, such as throwing this series of mistakes on the captain.

"Vice Captain, I understand. As long as they don't show up when the time is up, just abandon them!"

Thinking about how to report to the country in the future, he nodded heavily at the deputy captain, his eyes still focused on the battle situation.

"It's not giving up."

Correcting Norther's words, he continued to stare at the same direction, maintaining a calm and rigorous posture on the outside, and "memories and promises in the past" quietly emerged in his head.
