Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 727 is on the way.jpg

  After dark, Liu Xing and others led the maids to the back garden of the palace, where Louis' dinner was a buffet.

   At this time, the back garden was already crowded with noble lords and high-ranking officials of the Skaven Kingdom, as well as the invited Skrillians.

But it's still the same sentence, because after the emergence of the Black Death in medieval Europe, the criticism of the popular bathing culture became the main reason for the raging of the Black Death, so Europeans from that time began not to bathe, and used Perfume to hide the smell on your body.

   For aristocrats, they can choose more perfumes.

   However, the smell of these nobles intertwined with various perfumes, that is true. . . indescribable.

   Besides, there are so many people on the scene. . .

   Liu Xing and others all looked like they were unlovable and chose to eat in a corner, while Zhang Jingxu took "locals" Shen Aotian, Cai Gouzi and Bell to the dance floor in the middle to dance and socialize.

   Just then, Liu Xing suddenly saw a familiar figure.

   Liu Xing took a closer look and found that he was not mistaken.

   At this time, the man also saw Liu Xing, and immediately walked over with a smile.

   "Mr. Rodriguez, I didn't expect to see you here." Liu Xing said with a smile.

Rodriguez laughed and said: "I guessed that I would be able to meet the brave adults in the Skaven Kingdom. After all, the brave adults will not let those Bahamut believers do things in front of them, so I will next During the battle, I hope that the hero will not forget his family."

   Liu Xing suddenly felt that Rodriguez was implying something.

   Has Rodriguez and Wellington joined?

However, Liu Xing quickly rejected this idea, because in Liu Xing's view, Wellington should not be so soon connected with Rodriguez, because many forces are now paying attention to the mercenaries sent by the empire, after all Everyone knows that this mercenary is actually the regular army of the empire, and they represent the position of the empire.

Although the strength of the Skaven Kingdom is not bad, the Skaven Kingdom is a neighbor of the Empire after all, so the Skaven Kingdom will inevitably be affected by some influences from the Empire, especially after the end of the next war, no matter how Skaven The Wen Kingdom will be greatly damaged, and will be even more humble in front of the Empire.

So at this time, if the Empire is willing to support the Bonaparte family to regain the throne, then Louis will have to honestly "abdicate and make way", because at that time, the Skaven Kingdom could not resist the Empire even if it tried its best. Offensive, not to mention that half of the Skaven Kingdom's army will defect to Bonaparte.

Of course, it is not only Bonaparte who wants to sit on the throne of the Skaven king. After all, everyone with discernment now knows that no matter whether the next war is won or lost, Louis' control over the throne will be loosened. This is their own realization. The perfect time to "Ambition".

   However, they have to hold the thigh of the empire, or they have no chance of taking the throne.

So Liu Xing didn't even have to think about it, he knew that there were many forces sending people to monitor the every move of the imperial mercenaries. If there was a force to "chat" with the imperial mercenaries at this time, then this force would definitely attack Yes, let him out early.

   But such a banquet held by Louis is a good opportunity for these forces to take the initiative to approach the imperial mercenaries, because this is considered normal communication.

Therefore, according to Rodriguez's account, the leader of the imperial mercenary army and several other deputy leaders were surrounded by the nobles of the Skaven Kingdom, and Rodriguez, who was the commander of thousands, finally got rid of it. The entanglement of those nobles.

   The mercenary army sent by the empire this time is actually an established legion, but some important arms and logistics units have been removed, and only the most basic infantry units are retained, so the number is only 3,000. . . However, among these infantrymen, there are also many converted soldiers who were originally cavalry soldiers, so as long as the Skaven Kingdom can provide warhorses and corresponding equipment, these infantrymen can be converted into qualified cavalry soldiers at any time.

And Rodriguez is because of his excellent performance in the blacksmith village, and because he succeeded in winning more with less, smashing the conspiracy of the followers of Bahamut, so Rodriguez was selected for this empire. One of the thousands of mercenaries.

"Of course, I know the reason why I was able to jump from an ordinary town guard captain to a thousand commander, in fact, it is because of the support of the brave adults, so what do the brave adults need me in the next battle? Feel free to bring up the place to help, I Rodriguez will definitely help!" Rodriguez said boldly.

   Of course, Liu Xing accepted it disrespectfully.

   Besides, Liu Xing knew that what Rodriguez said was the truth. If it weren't for the relationship between his own and his party, then Rodriguez would not be able to become the captain of this mercenary army.

Even Liu Xing believed that the thousand-man team led by Rodriguez was actually sent by the empire to serve as bodyguards for his party. The performance may not be comparable to that of a normal centurion team. . .

   Therefore, Liu Xing and others definitely need some help, so Rodriguez was sent to be the captain.

   Of course, Liu Xing also knows that he may be thinking too much, because maybe Rodriguez was promoted because of his outstanding performance?

   But since Rodriguez has said so, Liu Xing will definitely not reject Rodriguez as a powerful thug.

  So, Liu Xing and others had a good talk with Rodriguez, and agreed to go to the imperial mercenary station tomorrow.

After    business affairs were finished, Liu Xing and others began to chat with Rodriguez, but the topic raised by Liu Xing and others was of course related to Wellington.

After Liu Xing and others' side-talking, it was finally determined that Rodriguez really didn't know the existence of Wellington. It seems that Wellington's confidentiality level is still quite high within the empire, and it may only be the leader of the empire's mercenaries. just got it.

  So, Liu Xing and others began to ask Rodriguez who the leader of the empire's mercenaries was, where he lived, what his personality was, what his monthly income was, and whether there were any houses or carts in the empire. . . Ahem, the latter questions are all made up by Liu Xing himself.

  Rodriguez knows everything about it, and he can’t say enough.

The leader of the empire's mercenary army is Chen Zixuan, the youngest son of the head of the Empire's First Army Corps. Because he has shown extraordinary military talent since he was a child, Chen Zixuan is now only twenty years old and has become the leader of the younger generation in the imperial army. , you must know that the "younger generation" in the army refers to those under the age of forty.

However, because Chen Zixuan's father and brothers all hold various important positions in the army of the empire, Chen Zixuan has not really made an official career until now, and can only serve in the army with a virtual position like a military division. Therefore, many people who are jealous of Chen Zixuan think that he is a In name only, on paper.

Therefore, after the empire decided to send troops to "support" the Skaven Kingdom this time, Chen Zixuan offered to let the emperor send troops in the form of mercenaries, so as not to fall into the ground, but the emperor agreed to Chen Zixuan's suggestion and appointed Chen Zixuan as the mercenary. The leader of the army, after all, Chen Zixuan is still strictly white, and is most suitable for the position of the leader of the mercenary.

   After listening to Rodriguez's introduction, Liu Xing became more and more certain that the empire was planning to support Wellington to come to power, otherwise the empire would not have arranged for a future general like Chen Zixuan to lead his troops there.

   So, as expected, the group of their own still had to take refuge in Wellington, otherwise, how could these natives of the Skaven Kingdom be able to withstand the elite soldiers of the empire led by Chen Zixuan.

   So, Liu Xing and others asked Rodriguez to introduce Chen Zixuan for his party, and Rodriguez of course agreed.

   Then Rodriguez left first, because he had been ordered by Chen Zixuan before attending the banquet to let him and the other participants leave the venue half an hour after the banquet started.

  Obviously, Chen Zixuan also knew that his group had become a sweet treat in the eyes of various forces in the Skaven Kingdom, so in order to avoid being entangled by these forces, Chen Zixuan made the decision to "retire early".

After    Rodriguez left, several nobles from the Skaven Kingdom came to chat with Liu Xing and others, and Liu Xing knew that the name of his group had already started in the Skaven Kingdom.

   After rejecting the hints of a few noble girls, Liu Xing couldn't help but complain: "To be honest, have these people's sense of smell been out of order or mutated? This smell is really too strong."

  Yin En nodded with a wry smile, looked up to the sky and said, "The one in the red dress just now is actually quite to my liking, but I don't want to be smoked to death in her boudoir."

   Just when Liu Xing and others were complaining, Zhang Jingxu returned with Shen Aotian and others.

"We can go back now, so as not to be held hostage by that guy Louis." Zhang Jingxu took a sip of wine and said, "Just now when I was chatting with Bonaparte, I suddenly found that guy Louis was standing not far away and staring at me. , and it looks very unhappy, so to be on the safe side, let's go back first, lest there will be assassins to deal with us tonight."

   Liu Xing and others of course nodded in agreement.

   When Liu Xing and his party said their goodbyes to Louis, although Louis verbally retained his party to continue to attend the banquet, Liu Xing could see that Louis had a happy expression on his face, "These guys are finally gone."

   After returning to the small courtyard, Ding Kun couldn't help but ask Zhang Jingxu what he and Bonaparte had talked about.

Zhang Jingxu laughed and said, "As we have learned before, Bonaparte now feels that he has a great advantage, and he already has the opportunity to wrestle with Louis, so Bonaparte used 'Skaven' as soon as he came. The orthodox royal family member of the kingdom spoke to me, and then said that his ancestors had been plotted by the villain, so he now has to endure the humiliation and wait for someone to do justice for him."

   "Oh, aren't we brave men who represent justice best suited to do these things?" Zhang Wenbing also said with a smile.

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said with a sigh: "That's right, Bonaparte has given me all kinds of hints, if we are willing to stand for him, we can get a fortune from him even if we don't make any effort. Considerable gold coins, and everyone can get a good piece of territory in the Skaven Kingdom... To be honest, I'm really tempted."

   If it wasn't for Liu Xing and others to know that there were imperial spies participating in the battle for the throne of the Skaven Kingdom, I am afraid that Liu Xing and others would also be willing to help Bonaparte get back his "deserved" position.

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing asked in a low voice, "So what do you think, Zhang Jingxu?"

Zhang Jingxu shrugged, shook his head and said, "Of course we can't get involved in this throne dispute, after all, we are just a few people, no matter which party we join, we are just a group of mascots, and our fate will be determined by then. It is in the hands of others; what's more, our current identity is the brave team sent by the empire, so we now represent the face of the empire. If we participate in Bonaparte's 'rebellion', then the empire will be judged and killed on the mainland. Now, His Majesty the Emperor won't let us go, so it's better that we don't get involved in this matter."

Zhang Jingxu's remarks made Liu Xing and others heave a sigh of relief, because Liu Xing and others were worried that Zhang Jingxu would not be able to withstand the temptation and chose to join a certain force in advance. At that time, Liu Xing and others could only follow Zhang Jingxu together. Join that force.

   After all, the brave team is one.

   So now that Zhang Jingxu can remain neutral, it would be great.

After Liu Xing told Zhang Jingxu the news brought by Rodriguez, Zhang Jingxu said happily: "Liu Xing, you are right, the thousand-man team led by Rodriguez should be sent by His Majesty the Emperor to assist us. Yes, it's a pity that Gugu hasn't come back yet, otherwise we should be able to get the token to take over the thousand-man team."

   Liu Xing noticed that Gugu had disappeared for several days.

"After we arrived at Jinfeng City, I arranged for Gugu to take our situation back to report to His Majesty the Emperor, and hope that His Majesty the Emperor can give us some help." Zhang Jingxu added: "But this child is very eccentric by nature. It is easy to be attracted by things along the way, so she often arrives at her destination a few days after the appointed time."

   Well, although Gugu is an eagle, she is still a bird as her name suggests, an out-and-out pigeon.

  I'm already on my way.jpg

   Coming soon.jpg

   But for Liu Xing and others, it doesn't matter if Gugu has come back for a long time now, anyway, there is still some time before the war starts.
