Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

Therefore, for the current situation, Yiguang, who was a monk halfway through the process, could only rely on guesswork to determine Esdes' status.She is now in a completely different situation from the group of people who had been controlled by her mind before. After that group of people was hit by her own move, it was impossible for her to move or make a sound.However, it would be wrong to say that her current situation is the same as that of the soldiers who were affected by her own mental power. Those people did not show the appearance of going to sleep like this little girl.

"Forget it, wait for her to recover and observe again." Because the current situation is unknown, Yiguang dare not act rashly.So, he made the decision to wait again, "If she is really captured by her own mental power, it would not be a bad thing."

It is better to follow her to continue the life of the empire than to mess with her ministers and cause chaos in the world.In the ending of the anime and manga, she turned into ice chips and dissipated into the world...why is that necessary?

Although I don't like Esdes, Iguang is always emotional about her ending.He personally thinks that it is the most charming death in the work "Zhan Chi".

But such a death would be too meaningless.Just like what Chi Tong said to her: keep making enemies and then defeat them, what will she get in the end?Just a murderer standing on a pile of corpses.

"Killing is only a means, not an end...Humans always try to get something." Yiguang couldn't help sighing, "If your destiny turns into such a meaningless end, you might as well be my weapon. "

It's just that now is not the time...

Taking advantage of the fact that Esdes was not awake now, Yiguang started to read the information in the man's mind that he had just obtained while holding Esdes as a hug bear.

"So that's the case, the revolutionary army... Really, it's a military exploit for nothing."

Saying that, Iguang stood up vigorously and carried Esdes on his back.Then began to search the base according to the information in the man's memory.After all, if you want to declare military merit, you can't just listen to your words. If all the witnesses have been killed, it is natural to have physical evidence.

"It hurts..." About 20 minutes later, Estes on Yi Guang's back made a new movement. After she murmured, she opened her eyes again, and then showed a confused look at Yi Guang. Look, "Lanza, where is this?"

Huh?Is this normal?

"My head hurts..." Esders propped up his body from Yiguang, and then supported his head, "It's just weird, I remember that I got out of the sack, why did I suddenly run here, and I still Lying on Lanza's back?"

Well, it really did recover.

Judging from Esdes' reaction, Yiguang can basically be sure that she should be back to normal now, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.Yiguang can only regard the strange behavior of Esdes in the past as some kind of effect caused by the collision between Her Majesty's super spiritual quality and his own spiritual erosion effect.Probably to repel her own spiritual erosion, her brain was forced into a state of repression.

"Probably the effect of the drug has not been over yet." Yi Guang lied casually, "How are you feeling now? Are you okay? Do you need to get down and go by yourself?"

"It's alright, it's just a headache... Let me lie down for a while." Esdes looked pale, "My mind is buzzing, how are you Lanza? What about the guys who prescribed drugs?"

"I killed them all." Yi Guang continued to look for physical evidence, and said, "Those are the people of the revolutionary army, and one of them is an emperor. However, even if there is an emperor, the trash is just trash."

"Those rebels?" Although Esdes had a headache, his consciousness was clear after all, and he naturally knew what Yiguang was talking about. "Then did you leave a living room?"

"No, after all, you are still lying there. You will have to be merciful if you stay alive. What if you are injured?" Yi Guang said casually, "Since I caused you to drink the drug, then I have to take responsibility for you. Take it out."

"How can I get hurt so easily?" Esders said dissatisfiedly, "How can we report to our superiors without leaving a living room?"

"It's alright, I've found enough evidence." Yi Guang waved the document in his hand, "These revolutionary armies, let's not talk about rebellion, they are still betraying the country... hum!"

"What did you find?" Estes asked, looking at the smug expression on Yiguang's face.

"The alien races in the west, they colluded with the revolutionary army, let's not talk about it. Moreover, it is also planned to start a riot in the western border of the empire in three months." Yiguang smiled, "Miss Esdes, thank me. , I earned this military merit for you, you and I are half of it."

Chapter 105 The rain is coming

"Well, now we have to figure out a way to get out of here..."

Although it was said that this time was a military exploit that was picked up by Bai, both Yiguang and Esdes were in a good mood of "pie falling from the sky".However, compared with the military exploits that have not yet been obtained, the two have a more realistic problem in front of them.

It's already night, it's raining outside, and they can't identify their specific location, which prevents them from returning to the barracks.This raises two questions.

First, it is illegal to go back to the military camp after sunset on the holiday.Of course, this actually doesn't matter. After all, there is a reason for the incident, and they also found information that the revolutionary army colluded with foreign nations in the West and intended to riot. This is a proper contribution.The second one is more troublesome. They are hungry and need to eat. After all, before the two of them went to the pub to drink, and the other bought ice cream to satisfy their hunger, they did not fill their stomachs well.

However... except for the corpses of those people, Yi Guang turned around several times and couldn't find any food to eat.

Ah no, that's not accurate.In fact, Yiguang still found the ingredients, but...because the scene was a bit messy when Yiguang fought with them before, and the ingredients were stained with blood.And among these ingredients, wheat is the main ingredient... So everyone knows that Yiguang has not lost his mind to the point of eating wheat that has been soaked into paste by human blood to maintain his life.To be honest, he doesn't even have much need for normal food now, and the behavior of eating is just a habit, and hiding people's eyes and ears.

And Esdes, although the three views are a bit crooked, but it is impossible to distort to the extent that human blood is not taboo.

In fact, Yiguang can use the system to exchange ingredients or even ready-made delicacies, but the problem is that this is not easy to explain, so he refrained from doing so.After all, Esdes is not Kazuma Sato's group, and Iguang didn't plan to let her know about the existence of the system.

"It looks like this group of people should have gone to the imperial capital to purchase these ingredients." Yi Guang sighed, and then managed to find a few cucumbers and a few tomatoes from the pile of blood-stained food, " Well, at least these two dishes are still edible, and it looks like we can make do with it tonight."

After finishing speaking, Yiguang ran to the pool with this pile of things, carefully washed the food, and then brought it back and shared half of it with Esdes.Before joining the army, Her Majesty was a wanderer all the year round, and basically had no requirements for food. The two of them solved the problem of dinner casually.Although this dining environment is indeed not very good, there are corpses all around.

"Okay, let's study this thing now."

After eating on the table in the revolutionary army stronghold, Yi Guang put a pair of metal gloves on the table.It was the one used by the man he had defeated before, the Teigu that projected huge claws.

"Is this the Teigu you captured earlier?" Esdeth looked at the pair of gloves curiously, "One of the 48 strongest 'Teigu's in the legend...it looks very ordinary, look at it completely Doesn't look very strong."

"No matter how strong Teigu is, it is also a weapon. It depends on who is in the hands." Yi Guang picked up one of the gloves, "Like the guy who was defeated by me, it only took a few seconds to hold Teigu. things."

"That's true, and it seems that this Teigu is not strong at all." Esdes looked at the glove in Yiguang's hand, and then showed a boring expression.

Yiguang, on the other hand, carefully observed the runes on the surface of Teigu. To be honest, he was really interested in these weapons with peculiar powers.After all, although his spear has been infected by the power of flame and divinity, the quality is not bad.But it has not been deeply processed in the true sense, more like a pure natural mineral.And Teigu, in the process of casting, used a lot of the so-called "Secret Art of the Nation", which has been lost, and gave them additional abilities on the basis of almost completely retaining the power of those dangerous species.

For example, Brand's "Demon Haunted" has the ability to be invisible, while Esdes' "Demon Essence" is a field that can create and freeze everything.These extra powers, Yiguang doesn't think they are the inherent abilities of those dangerous species, they are more like those developed by the Teigu casting process.

If you can let the system analyze this casting process, maybe you can improve your copycat version of the dragon hunting gun.

"Lanza, I remember you told me that you also have an emperor, what does your emperor look like?" Esdes asked suddenly, "Can you show me?"

"Uh..." Yiguang didn't expect that Esdes had no interest in the Emperor in front of him, but suddenly asked his own Emperor, "Why do you suddenly think of asking this?

"Curious, can't you ask?" Esdes frowned.

"Actually, it's okay to tell you, my Teigu..." Yiguang thought for a while, then pointed to his chest, "It's my heart, a 'Teigu' made from the heart of a dangerous species, the ability is Operate the flame."

Yi Guang spread out his hand, and an orange flame appeared in his hand.The temperature in the room suddenly increased significantly.

"A heart?" Looking at the flame in Yiguang's hand, Esdes frowned, "This is too... You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"It's the same sentence, I lied to you that you don't have any sugar." Yi Guang rolled his eyes, "It's all written on my file. It's pointless to lie to you. The officers all know that."

"But it's so strange..." Esdes said. "Generally speaking, isn't it a weapon or tool? A heart? This is also too strange."

However, in fact, your future Teigu is the strangest, and Yiguang almost couldn't help but complain.

"Don't worry, you won't think so in the future, you will definitely see Teigu that is even stranger than your heart."

After finishing speaking, Yi Guang continued to study the gloves on his hands, while Esdes found an open place and began to exercise.After all, as a martial artist, muscles and state need to be maintained for a long time, and daily exercise is essential.

"Speaking of which, do you want to try this? Maybe it will recognize you." Suddenly, a bold thought appeared in Yiguang's heart, "Anyway, Tegu will recognize himself as the master, even if you stay, the above will also You won't say anything, do you?"

That's right, at this time, Yiguang suddenly had a bold idea in his heart: if she was here and gave this unknown Teigu to Esdes, she would not drink "the essence of the devil" in the future .Maybe, her hopeless personality can be brought back just a little bit.At least from the perspective of Yiguang's relationship with her during this period, her character during this period is really much better than the Shaking Queen in the original plot, and at most she can be considered a bad girl.

So, after the queen's character became so crooked, "the essence of the devil" must have occupied most of the factors!That's right, it's all the fault of "the essence of the devil" and the minister.

So, if I am here and let Esdes get other Teigu, it is possible to maintain her relatively normal character now, right?

"I'm not interested, this Teigu looks so weak." Esdes waved his hand, "You can kill its owner in an instant without using Teigu, I can think of it with my toes. How weak."

"I can't say that, anyway, it's Teigu... eh?" Iguang wanted to say something, but Esdes suddenly stopped exercising and opened the door to the outside, "What's wrong?"

"The rain seems to have stopped, can we go?" Esders went out to have a look, and said after confirming, "It's better for us to report to our superiors as soon as possible about the Revolutionary Army."

"That's what I said... oh, I said, don't you try this?" Yiguang was still trying to get Esdes to get this Teigu, "Anyway, if you try it, you won't get pregnant... Ah no, I mean Nothing to lose. Are you sure you don't give it a try?"

However, Esdes walked towards the carriage left by the revolutionary army without looking back.

……

"You are doing very well!"

The station of the Northern Corps of the Guards, the third battalion, the battalion commander's office.The battalion commander, who got up from the bed in shock at the news from Yiguang and Esdes who had returned to the camp in the middle of the night, looked at the revolutionary army documents and the fist-shaped Teigu that Yiguang brought, and nodded. An old face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"I will report this matter to my superiors as soon as possible, and I will also take your performance in my heart." Finally, the battalion commander said to the two young commanders under his command, "I was worried before, the two of you are still late at night. Go back, did you encounter any unexpected events? Originally, if you didn't come back until dawn, we would conduct a large-scale search, but fortunately, you not only came back, but also brought us such a big surprise. very good……"

"Thank you sir for the compliment."

Yi Guang expressed courtesy to the battalion commander's praise.And Esdes just nodded as usual.

"Okay, you all came back so late, go to rest today, and write a report tomorrow." After that, the battalion commander waved his hand, "It's so late, you go back to the barracks first."

"Yes." Yiguang and Esdes responded at the same time, and then walked out.

"This is a big deal..." After Yi Guang and the others left, the battalion commander frowned deeply at the documents and the Emperor Tool in front of him, "No, this matter. , must report as soon as possible, can't wait until tomorrow. Come on!"

"Here!" Hearing the battalion commander's order, the captain of the personal soldiers who was standing by the side responded immediately.

"Hurry up and prepare the carriage, I want to go to Beijing, go to the command center, and meet the army commander!"

Chapter 106 Western Raiders

"It's so hot...this fucking place!"

In the middle of the sun, Chuck, the lieutenant of the commander-in-chief of the Northern Legion of the Guards, rode on a horse and continued to move in the predetermined direction with the large troops behind him.At the same time, he waved his hand and complained a little irritably.

This is the northern part of the empire, a mountain road on the edge of the great desert. The heat waves between heaven and earth are like a colorless flame.Although the sound of the wind kept ringing in the ears, it did not bring even the slightest bit of coolness. It just set off an endless heat wave, wrapped in strands of fine sand, and rushed on everyone's faces.This kind of environment is like hell for the brothers and sisters of the Northern Legion who appeared in the extremely cold land.

"Brothers, go! Don't let Chief Lanza wait." But no matter how much he complains in his heart, obeying orders is always the duty of a soldier. As an adjutant trusted by the commander-in-chief, Chuck still overcomes various difficulties and faces the rear. The brothers shouted loudly, "In another hour, we should be able to arrive at the scheduled location. If Chief Lanza sees you looking like you are dying, you will have some good fruits to eat!"

"Yes!" Although it was almost heatstroke, as the most elite members of the Imperial Guard, these soldiers of the Northern Legion still responded forcefully to Chuck's order.However, this does not change the fact that the army is not in good shape.

"Ah...is it really okay for us to be in this state?" Chuck looked at the listless zepao in the back with a pained face, and couldn't help but worry, "Damn revolutionary army, actually built a stronghold in such a place! "

As mentioned earlier, the empire, in line with the policy of "strong and weak", transferred most of the elite of the local army to the guards around the empire to enhance the strength of the center.At the same time, this is also one of the basic policies of most countries throughout the ages.

However, this policy itself has its own problems.That is, as any normal and stable dynasty, most of the time, the capital region of the country will always maintain a peaceful environment.After all, the capital is the symbol of a country. If the capital cannot guarantee peace and stability, the country is too much for people to catch chickens.And this has created a problem. With the long-term peaceful environment, in theory, the guards should be composed of elites from all parties. Over time, the struggle will be slowly eliminated, resulting in a decline in combat effectiveness, and finally become a young master.The local troops, especially the frontier troops, who were originally sheared, will re-honor their combat effectiveness in constant battles with foreign enemies.

Under the circumstances, the combat effectiveness of the border guards surpassed that of the guards, which was almost inevitable in the middle and late stages of every dynasty.

Of course, under the system of classical militarism, this problem is relatively small, because they will occasionally pull the Guards out to fight when there is a war.The more famous ones are the "Guardian Army" of the Han Dynasty and the "Guards" of ancient Rome, which have maintained a good combat effectiveness for a long time in this way-by the way, the "guards" of ancient Rome often This kind of combat power is used to anal his own emperor, which is very speechless.

In short, the empire, which is also a classical militaristic society, also inherited the glorious tradition of their predecessors in another world.Whenever a war broke out, the guards were bound to be mobilized and thrown into the battlefield together with the local army.For example, in the original book, Esdes' battle to quell the alien races in the north was completed by the Northern Army Corps of the Guards, mixed with local troops from the northern provinces, and formed an expeditionary force totaling 20 people.

As for Yiguang's participation in the previous battle, why didn't he join the Guards in the Great Battle of the Northern Theater?That's just because the Imperial Army decided from the beginning that this was a meat grinder-style war of attrition, and naturally it would not use the precious military power of the Guards on it.

But now, a turmoil originating from the western frontier of the empire has sent the Guards to the battlefield again.

A month ago, Yi Guang and Esdes accidentally took down a revolutionary army hideout near the imperial capital, and at the same time intercepted a batch of internal documents of the revolutionary army.Only then did the aristocrats of the empire realize that the Revolutionary Army, a rebel organization that had been under siege and interception by the empire for a long time, had secretly joined forces with the empire's long-time enemy.With the revolutionary army as their inner response, those desert aliens who have been living in the great western desert tried to make the northern border of the empire completely free from the control of the empire.

"These revolutionary troops really do everything they can."

Just as Chuck was leading the main force on the mountain road, Yiguang, who had left the main force in advance and went to the target location by himself, was waiting to be brought into the desert town where they were about to take action.Looking at the city gate guarded by the revolutionary army and the soldiers of the desert nation in front of him, he couldn't help shaking his head.

"As a citizen of the empire, for his own benefit, he actually introduced the army of a foreign nation into his territory and handed over control of the city." Yiguang put on the unique robes of the locality and dressed up as a common foot walk here. The businessman, among other people who wanted to enter the city, said, "This kind of behavior is probably the so-called traitor?"

"You! What are you doing?" After the previous person entered the city gate, Yi Guang took a step forward and began to accept the other party's interrogation. A soldier of a foreign nationality scolded him.

"I'm a foot merchant, my lord." Yi Guang looked humble, "I hope to go to the city to rest, get some water, and buy some dry food."

"Is there a pass?" said another man dressed as a revolutionary army.

"Passport?" Yi Guang was stunned for a moment, "I have it, please take a look, sir."

Yi Guang took out a piece of paper, but nothing was written on it.The two soldiers in charge of the interrogation were just about to launch an attack, but they only saw a red light suddenly flashing in Yiguang's eyes.Their eyes immediately became dull, and then they waved their hands: "Okay, you go in, the next one..."

"Well, I have to say that this ability is very useful... Anyway, this place will soon become a battlefield, and there will be no burden on conscience." Yi Guang obediently entered the city gate, and then threw the blank sheet of paper. Dropped, and sneered slightly.
