Chapter 851: The Marquess of Bolton made a great contribution
Chapter 851 The Marquess of Bolton made great contributions
Return countdown 66:00:00.
6 o'clock in the morning.
The outpost was in a mess, and the airstrip was cracked with numerous cracks, like the brokenness of a riverbed after it dried up.
Those floating airships that hadn’t had time to take off were crookedly stuck in the gaps, and the little nobles and soldiers hid inside and dared not move.
The sky is getting brighter, and bird carcasses can be seen everywhere on the ground of the outpost, as well as huge wild boars that were killed by the outpost.
Miserable, it is too miserable.
The little nobles made sure that there was no danger, so they climbed out of the airship one by one, and looked around silently.
Everyone felt a kind of "survival after the catastrophe" rejoicing in their hearts, but luckily they didn't die!
But how did the outpost survive?
Just yesterday afternoon, when the ‘Marquis Bolton’ started mobilizing the airship and adjusting the number of the apron, everyone complained.
After all, everyone is doing well on the tarmac, so why change them? Isn't this tossing people?
At that time, it took about 7 hours to adjust all the aprons.
But in the early morning attack yesterday, if the A-class airships hadn’t lifted off in time, and if the combat-capable airships had been destroyed one by one from the very beginning, then the base might really fall.
No grass will grow in the places attacked by the Giant Dynasty, and no one will survive.
If the outpost is still the former No. 9 outpost, everyone will become dust in history.
How dangerous!
The little nobles immediately cheered as they watched the outpost soldiers anesthetize, capture, and imprison six wounded giants.
Survival after catastrophe!
At this time, news from the outside world came in: "The No. 6 forward base fell, and the giant dynasty vanguard general 'Kach. Yun' led hundreds of giants to attack the base, destroyed 90% of the airships, and killed all the giants in the base. People, captured the commander of the outpost base, Marquis Sith and his family alive!"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Without comparison, there would be no sense of happiness.
It was also attacked by the Giant Dynasty, and the outpost next door fell, but they can still stand here and rejoice.
This is happiness!
Without the Marquis of Bolton, they would have ended up in exactly the same way, right? !
Everyone is going to die!
Moreover, they were still thinking at the beginning that the outpost base was destroyed like this, and the feats that the Marquis of Bolton had just won in anti-corruption would be lost, right?
But now there is no comparison, there is no harm. It was also attacked, and the next door was not defended, but the Marquis of Bolton defended it, and captured six giants alive. This is a great contribution.
The little nobles looked at each other, and they got together and said in a low voice: "The Marquis of Bolton used to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. Everyone thought he was a foolish Marquis, but they didn't expect him to be so powerful. Let me just say, the fifth princess is so powerful, why? Maybe she likes a little boy? She must have discovered the ability of the Marquis of Bolton early on and decided to marry him!"
"That's right, the fifth princess is in charge of a violent institution, how could she find a bad guy? It's because we didn't discover the power of Marquis Bolton earlier!"
Someone said in a low voice: "The future of the Marquis Bolton is limitless, everyone should hug a wave of thighs in advance, otherwise we won't be able to hug him after he becomes so successful."
After the outpost soldiers captured the giant, they immediately ran to Lord Bolton's office.
At this moment, Bolton has just been offline from the superconducting world, and he is looking at Qingchen: "Last night was too powerful, the light of the white man took me to a level up, and they even ran to the copy of the water mage, the electric fish." Playing, I don’t know who thought of it, but it’s so fast to level up!”
Qing Chen smiled and said, "Congratulations, Lord Marquis, for your promotion."
At this time, the curtains in the office were drawn, and Bolton didn't even see what was happening outside.
There was a knock on the door: "Master Marquis!"
"Come in, what's the matter?" Marquis Bolton said impatiently while sitting on the sofa.
The soldier outside the door excitedly said: "Master Marquis, you are really amazing, the nobles outside have invited you out to speak a few words!"
Marquis Bolton was puzzled, how the **** did I go from F to E overnight in the superconducting world?
You don’t flatter like this!
Besides, didn’t I delete my account and retrain, no one knows what my current name is in the superconducting world, who leaked the news?
The Marquis of Bolton said casually: "How can this be so good? This is also considered powerful? Get out, don't bother me if you have nothing to do."
The soldiers were in awe. At this moment, Lord Bolton is still so calm and humble.
He silently exited the office and turned to gossip to everyone.
…
…
The Marquis of Bolton looked at Qing Chen and said with a smile: "You will get used to it in the future, as long as your status is high enough, everyone will want to flatter you."
Qing Chen didn't speak, he opened the curtain silently.
Marquis Bolton continued: "Last night, the leveling was very happy, and those family members... hiccup!"
Halfway through his speech, he saw the mess outside, and was almost so frightened that he held his breath on the spot.
His face was pale.
"What... what's going on?!" Marquis Bolton said in shock.
Qing Chen explained: "The Dynasty of Giants raided here last night... Fortunately, Marquis Bolton, you temporarily changed the position of the airship yesterday afternoon, which bought time for the A-class airship to take off. Fortunately, Bolton Marquis, you ordered someone to overhaul the metal storm in advance, so that the base will not be flooded with birds. Half of the metal storm on the city wall was originally empty. If it weren't for the early inspection, the wild boars and the birds alone would be enough for our entire army It's overwhelmed."
He explained the matter in detail. Among them, he told the Marquis of every call he made and every order he gave in the name of the Marquis of Bolton, so as to avoid any mistakes in the future report.
Qing Chen asked: "Marquis Bolton, what did you do before marrying into a wealthy family... and marrying the Fifth Princess?"
"I was an 18-line actor before," said Bolton Marquess.
Qing Chen thought it was no wonder that during the previous interrogation, he pretended to be a detective and recited his lines so smoothly.
I see.
This face is indeed qualified to be an actor.
He said seriously: "Master Marquis, the No. 6 outpost next door has completely fallen, so whether you have made a great achievement now, or the first victory of this Kingdom Expedition, you must remember all the details to avoid any problems. The fifth princess will definitely help you with this matter, and by then the Marquis level 4 and level 5 will not be a dream."
Marquis level 3, can be in charge of such power departments as the Food and Drug Administration Department, the Commerce Department, and the Education Department,
Marquis level 5, already qualified to be in charge of the central royal city garrison, financial secretary, and legislative department. It can be said that he has truly entered the core of power in the Roosevelt Kingdom.
Actually, at this point, the ‘duties’ of nobles with foreign surnames have come to an end. If the Marquis of Bolton makes great achievements again, he may be promoted to the 6th Marquis level. His position will not change, but the private army he can control, the number of slaves he can buy, and his wages will continue to increase.
So, Marquis level 5 is very important!
The Marquis of Bolton nodded hurriedly: "I will write it down... Steward, this time I really owe it to you, otherwise I might have died last night, and the meritorious service I got was gone. This time I can share the meritorious service with you , I said, it was I who proposed the idea of deploying the airship, and it is up to you to implement it, and this one thing alone is enough for you to be promoted to citizen level 1."
Qing Chen said with a smile: "Thank you Lord Marquis, I will continue to work hard in the future. But my achievements are not important, as long as you are getting better and better, Lord Marquis, I will naturally get better and better."
The Marquis of Bolton looked at Qingchen, and felt that he had found a treasure. With such a person to assist him, he didn't have to do anything by himself, and he could do meritorious service while lying down...
Why haven’t I met such a talent before!
In fact, Qing Chen suddenly felt that it was too convenient to be the butler of the Marquis of Bolton.
In the battle last night, if he had been more ruthless, Kuangfeng and the others would have been wiped out. If he had acted a little later, the Kingdom of Roosevelt would have lost an outpost.
Now that he is in power, it is all a matter of one word and one thought to make anyone feel better or lose less.
If the Marquis of Bolton had a higher status, after a war, Qing Chenguang could have caused heavy losses to the Roosevelt Kingdom and the Giant Dynasty together with Qing Chenguang's words.
Besides, no one can blame him yet, maybe say thank you to him.
Well, this is kind of interesting.
…
…
"Master Marquis, we have captured six giants alive, and they have been imprisoned in the dungeon of the base. Would you like to take a look?" Qing Chen asked.
"Huh? I dare not go, they are so fierce!" Marquis Bolton was a little scared.
Qing Chen thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go and see for you. Besides, the Duke of Storms will arrive here in 2 hours. You must prepare well, and don't give him a chance to impeach you."
"Yeah, don't worry, I'm really proud this time," said the Marquis Bolton, "This old boy threatened that he must be the one who won the first battle of this expedition. What's going on now? I took it away, right? Hahahahaha !"
Qing Chen discovered that this marquis has an advantage: no matter whether it is his own meritorious deeds or not, as long as it is placed on his head, he can accept it calmly and incorporate it into the play.
This is good news for Qing Chen.
At this moment, Marquis Bolton's phone rang, and it was His Royal Highness the Fifth Princess.
Qing Chen said: "I avoid?"
"No, you are a great hero, so don't avoid it!" Marquis Bolton answered the phone: "Hello, my wife... yes, yes, yes, I'm fine, I'm fine. Don't worry, half of the airships in Outpost 9 can be repaired , and most of the damage is civilian grade, the loss is actually not that big.”
The fifth princess said on the phone: "Let your butler answer the phone."
The Marquis of Bolton innocently handed the phone to Qing Chen: "Quick, your sister-in-law asked you to answer the phone."
Qing Chen took it over: "Hi, Your Highness the Princess."
"Just call me Cassia," said the clear and sweet voice on the phone: "Thanks to you this time, I will remember your credit, thank you."
"You're welcome, this is my responsibility. In fact, I didn't do anything. I just checked the work according to the outpost operation rules," Qing Chen said.
In this battle, Qing Chen didn't perform that outstandingly, he just did some things that should be done and others didn't notice.
If others look closely, it is that he is meticulous in his work, so he is not particularly surprised.
All rely on peers to set off.
Qing Chen carefully controlled the scale, so as not to show excessive talent and make people suspicious.
If he really wiped out the small vanguard of the Giant Dynasty last night, I am afraid that the investigation against him will not be too far away.
The fifth princess was silent for a few seconds: "I saw the future between you and Bolton, and I have some doubts about it. I will arrive at the No. 9 outpost in two days, and I hope to find some answers from you."
After finishing speaking, the fifth princess hung up the phone.
Qing Chen was startled. This fifth princess is indeed a life master above A-level. No wonder she has subordinates like the FireWire Squad.
Moreover, the other party did indeed see the future in himself, but Qing Chen was not sure what the other party saw.
Wait a minute, logically speaking, the other party should not see a very clear future, or the future that the other party sees is not enough to make the other party hostile.
If the other party sees him killing King Roosevelt with his hands and standing on the mountain of corpses and blood in the Roosevelt Kingdom, he should not tell himself about it, and then mobilize the army to encircle him.
What if I run away early?
So, the future that the other party sees is not enough to pose a threat to Qing Chen, so it must be explainable.
For a person like Qingchen, even the slightest detail can lead to logical reasoning.
But he was still a little curious, wondering what the princess saw?
…
…
In the dungeon, the soldiers of the outpost are constantly washing the giants with high-pressure water cannons.
The giants were hiding in huge cages, curled up in the corners, the green and black ink on their bodies had been washed away, revealing their original skin colors.
Qing Chen walked into the dungeon slowly, frowned and said to the soldiers: "Who told you to abuse these giants? They still have injuries. Who will be responsible if you kill them?"
The soldiers bowed their heads and saluted: "Hello, Steward."
In the past two days, although Qing Chen did not show his face in public, everyone was notified that the former chief butler and the second butler had been executed by the current chief butler. This is the true confidant of the Marquis of Bolton.
Now the Marquis of Bolton's reputation is in full swing, and even Qing Chen's status is also rising.
Qing Chen said: "Go down, let me observe these giants."
The soldiers said cautiously: "Boss, you must not approach the cage. These giants are all racially gifted. I don't know if they have any means of hurting people."
"Well, I see."
At this time, a giant in the cage said: "Doo!"
(Who is this human being? It seems to have a high status?)
"Clack!"
(I can understand human language, he is the butler of this outpost!)
Qing Chen's expression became strange, because...he could understand what the giants were saying!
Originally, he thought that he could only understand what Dingdong and Gudong said, because he was the inmate of No. 002 Forbidden Land after all. Nothing is normal.
But he didn't expect that he could also understand what the giant of the Western Continent was saying.
Wait, he recalled that when he went to No. 002 Forbidden Land, Ding Dong once gave him, Yang Yang and others a red fruit. After eating the fruit, it didn’t have any effect. He thought it was just delicious. That's all.
But now that he thinks about it, maybe that fruit made him learn how to understand the giants' thoughts from their language.
You know, there are not many giants who can speak human language, Ding Dong can't speak it, and only a few giants in the giant dynasty have learned it.
Humans can't understand the giant's speech at all.
At this time, a giant said: "Doo!"
(This person must be very important, 'Puff' you tricked him to the edge of the cage, we will find a way to hold him hostage and kill him!)
After finishing speaking, a giant on the far side wailed while clutching the wound on his stomach, as if the wound had recurred.
Qing Chen is happy.
This is probably the importance of mastering one more foreign language.
The giants conspired loudly before him, never expecting him to understand. Pupu rolled around for a long time, but did not see Qing Chen come to observe him.
Qing Chen thought to himself and said, "I don't know if someone will come to rescue these giants. I have to remind Marquis Bolton to set a trap."
The giants became anxious when they heard this.
"Beep!"
(Not good, this person is going to set a trap for Kuang Feng, Kuang Feng values friendship, he will definitely find a way to save us, and then he will be ambushed by human traps!)
"Clack!"
(what to do?!)
Qing Chen muttered, "Catch a few more giants to play with."
Said and left.
The giants were left in the cage to make strange noises and discuss fiercely.
But in fact, what Qing Chen was thinking about was how to get these giants out. He didn't want to lend these six giants to the Roosevelt Kingdom to really set a trap for the Giant Dynasty.
After all, Qing Chen's main enemy is the Roosevelt Kingdom, not the Giant Dynasty.
But where should he start?
Qing Chen thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of a person: the person who intercepted the communication of the outpost last night.
They cooperated with the giant's invasion, so they should be willing to rescue the giant.
I want to find out this person and create an opportunity for him, an opportunity that he cannot refuse.
…
