Chapter 249 First Meeting
In the later period, Di Kelong played a new trick again. Instead of leading in a certain team, he led an elite team and ran around.
No matter which team he joins, that team is his direct descendant. In his hands, he has the ability to turn decay into magic, and his combat effectiveness has soared several levels.
Ake Messer had read the descriptions of those legendary commanders in history books before, saying that they had the ability to change an army with one person. At that time, he always scoffed at them, thinking that this was an exaggerated description of later generations.
After personally commanding the army, I became more certain of this point. A commander played a very limited role in it. It was more about the training level of the army, the quality of middle and low-level officers, etc., which combined to form the real combat effectiveness of an army.
Di Kelong completely shattered his previous cognition.
The other party seems to have magical powers, which can bless the army he leads, not only making them more cunning, but also making them stronger, just like the ancient artifact of the royal family of Lancelot, the Sword of Courage.
This kind of speculation is obviously even more unreliable, it might as well be that the other party did this by relying on their own command ability.
To deal with such an opponent, you must not be in a hurry. If you are in a hurry, it will be easy for the opponent to take advantage of it.
For catching Di Kelong directly, Ake Messer did not have much hope. After all, he was not able to keep the opponent when he was seriously injured, let alone the opponent had fully recovered. A champion knight wanted to run. In this complex mountainous environment, no one can stop him.
Di Kelong's only weakness should be in his love and humanity, which was proved by his incomparably stubborn coexistence and death with the main force of the slave rebel army.
He seemed to realize this now, and he rarely put himself and the team he led in a desperate situation, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he would disperse and break through.
He didn't care that the team was broken up, because in a few days, he would pull up a new team.
Ake Messer is now turning his attention to the rout of the slave rebel army. As long as they are cleaned up bit by bit, no matter how powerful Dixon is, he will at most be a champion knight. The waves are relatively limited.
The person who gave Akemesser, the well-born commander such a headache, has quietly left the Karth army leader at this moment, and appeared on the bank of the Jacob River in his hometown, Manyu army leader.
Looking at the torrential river, Di Kelong, the all-powerful gladiator champion in the arena and one of the world-renowned slave rebels Ssangyong, couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion, and said for a long time: If this river came earlier More than thirty years!
When he first heard about Jacob Jiang Fuliu, Di Kelong's reaction was the same as that of most people, that is, he didn't believe it.
Especially when it is said that it was caused by human beings, the unbelief is even more serious.
Throughout history, it is unprecedented and unheard of that manpower is superior to nature.
Now that Dajiang was in front of him, he couldn't help but not believe it.
His mood at the moment is far more complicated than that of ordinary people. After all, the military leader Man Yu is also the hometown where he was born and raised.
Although most of what this hometown left in his memory is pain, he also brought indelible pain to his hometown.
But after being displaced, he found that he still has an indescribable feeling for the military leader Man Yu. No matter how much you hate him, your mother is still your mother after all, and this can never be changed.
What's more, there is nothing wrong with this broad mother, what is wrong is only the people who live here and what happened here.
This kind of complex emotion is all contained in this short exclamation.
If Jiang Shui had come 30 years earlier, Man Yu's military leader would not have been in such a difficult situation. The newly appointed Grand Duke Borg would not have taken another shortcut and vigorously developed the slave trade and gladiator industry. Naturally, he would not have had a life full of ups and downs. , there will not be so many disputes.
It would take my general to be born fifty years earlier. A young man beside Di Kelong said with a smile.
The same noun, but Di Kelong knew that the other party was not talking about himself, but a young man dormant in the mountains like a dragon.
Di Kelong's eyes shrank slightly, and all the complicated emotions on his face were collected, and he returned to the appearance of a general who was not surprised at all. He had made some mistakes just now and said something he shouldn't have said.
But thinking of the identity of the other party, it seems that there is no need for this.
Di Kelong was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help but asked: If I remember correctly, Egard, you have followed me for ten years. When you entered the arena, there was no one from me. Chest high, when did you join Yong Ye?
Di Kelong still remembered the indescribable state of mind of this young man named Egard, who revealed to himself that the other party was the leader of the Eternal Night Army.
It was a kind of icy cold from heel to top of head.
It's the same feeling for everyone.
The person who I regard as a brother, a family member, and a brother turned out to be a spy planted by another force by my side.
With the last trace of rationality in Di Kelong's heart, he suppressed the urge to split him in half with a knife, and told himself over and over again that if the target wanted to harm him, there was no need to wait until now, when he was thrown in the sea of corpses and blood. There it is.
That's right, in order to cover the main force to disperse and break through, Di Kelong was seriously injured. It was the young man in front of him who never left him and recited the seriously injured him step by step.
But the more this happened, the more difficult it was for him to accept.
I thought the general would never ask. Egard withdrew the smile that never seemed to disappear, and replied very seriously, Whether the general believes it or not, I have never betrayed the general and my brothers. The thing is, you are my brothers, but General Xiao En is my family. If it weren’t for him, I would never have had the chance to grow up. I would have fed wild beasts in the mountains long ago. Naturally, it would be impossible for me to fall into the hands of slave hunters and be trafficked. Become a slave gladiator, this kind of kindness, kindness is recreated, and things like feelings also pay attention to first-come, first-come.
Understood! Di Kelong nodded.
Egard was born in the Andes Mountains, and was trafficked by slave hunters from the Bastille to the gladiator training ground led by the Manyu Army. The other side has never concealed this, even his unique growth experience, Di Kelong also Know a thing or two.
What Di Kelong didn't expect was that the mysterious general who led the Yongye army was actually the same person as the elder brother Edgar mentioned.
This can only be said to be a person's blind spot, where many clues are there, and they are unwilling to think about it, or they subconsciously think it is just a coincidence.
If you think about it this way, there are many suspicious people in the slave rebel army, especially those young people who have similar experiences to Egard.
Fortunately, the relationship between the slave rebel army and the Yongye Army had been good at the beginning, and they didn't have any ideas about the other party, otherwise they wouldn't know how to die.
However, the slave rebel army has become a thing of the past, and it doesn't seem to make any sense to think about it. He is now a first-class exile, and there is nothing worthy of the other party's plot.
The other party did not hesitate to expose Egard's identity and invited him to come. Why?
The ship is coming. Egard's low cry broke Dixon's contemplation.
In the hazy night, a fast boat came through the waves, it looked slow but it was fast, and it arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye, and a long bridge was built in front of them.
The general is safe and well. A person at the bow of the clipper greeted them from afar.
Don't come here without any problems. Di Kelong recognized the other party's identity at a glance. The Minister of Finance of the Yongye Army, and the transactions with the slave rebels were all done by him.
It seems that the other party paid enough attention to this meeting, and all the important ministers of the Yongye Army came to greet him. In the end, there could only be one person who met—the mysterious Supreme Commander of the Yongye Army, Sean Don Augustine.
The doubts in Di Kelong's heart grew stronger, and he couldn't figure out what the other party was up to.
At the time when the slave rebel army was at its peak, Starbuck wanted the neck of the Kayon Night Army and asked to discuss cooperation with their supreme commander. The other party didn't even bother them. He left them alone for half a year, and in the end it was the slave rebel army. On the other hand, I can't stand it anymore.
Now when he was at his worst, the other party showed up instead.
Is it okay to go all the way? Marshall asked.
It's okay. Axmesser only focuses on places where there are many people. A few people cross the border, and there is no way to guard against it. There are roads everywhere, unlike mountains here. Egard replied.
Di Kelong has been looking at the river in rapt attention since he got on the boat. No one knows what he is thinking. He was originally a quiet and restrained person. After the slave rebel army was defeated, he talked less. Often alone in a daze.
Marshall and Egard had a brief conversation, but they were speechless.
In theory, the two are not only old acquaintances, but also lived together for a year or two.
It's just that years of different life experiences have led them to embark on completely different paths, and it is difficult to find common topics. Some sensitive things cannot be said in front of Di Kelong, and it is better to keep silent.
Soon, a huge figure appeared in front of everyone.
It was an attic standing on the river. Compared with it, the clipper they just took was just an inconspicuous little thing, not even a tenth of it.
It has a special name - Lou Chuan.
The Evernight Army leads the Explorer, one of the three largest ships.
Di Kelong took a quick glance, the faint light on the upper ship was enough for him to get an overview, and out of the instinct of a commander, he made an assessment of its combat power.
It is in the shape of a stepped pavilion, including the deck, and has four floors. Each floor has a female wall shooting hole that is half the height of a person. These four floors alone can carry thousands of archers.
The Andis longbow, which Di Kelong became famous in the first battle, was traded to him by the other party. Needless to say, it must have been installed, and the mountain people are notoriously good at shooting.
This whole is the mobile arrow array on the water. Wherever it moves, the arrow rain will cover it.
As for the collision angles on both sides, needless to say, just looking at the shape, a fierce aura rushes towards the face. It is difficult for a ship to resist its collision force with such a fierce beast on the water.
What attracted Di Kelong's attention the most was the deck and the top layer, each of which was covered with oilcloth. Judging from the size, it should be a war machine such as a small trebuchet or a ballista. According to the Yongye Army The customary style is definitely not a good-looking one.
The name of the general is like thunder, and we finally officially meet today. A tall young man walked up quickly, with a warm smile on his face.
Are you Sean? Don? Augustine? Di Kelong had to take a step back after shaking hands with the other party before he could talk to him. He is a bit frustrated in stature, so he has to look up to each other.
When this question was asked, Di Kelong knew that it was unnecessary, and the expressions of the people around him showed it.
Di Kelong couldn't help but take a closer look at this young man who started from nothing, single-handedly pulled the big power, did something famous in the world but few people knew about it, and made Egard risk his life to convince him.
This is definitely an unforgettable young man.
It doesn't mean his outstanding height, nor his appearance. In terms of appearance alone, it can only be said that he is above average. His nose is not particularly straight, and his eyes are not so deep. People have a feeling of laughing before saying anything, not to mention that the other party is smiling from beginning to end.
If it weren't for this occasion, Di Kelong would have no way to link him with the supreme commander of the Yongye Army, but a big boy next door.
What really touched Di Kelong was the temperament of the other party.
It can also be said to be some kind of aura.
Ordinary people may not feel this kind of thing, but when it comes to great knights, especially champion knights, it really exists. Sometimes aura is a more intuitive reflection of a person.
Sean's aura is in stark contrast to his appearance. Underneath the unspoken smile is a kind of tenacity, a calmness that does not match the youthful appearance.
What caught Di Kelong's attention the most was that he couldn't accurately assess the opponent's strength at first glance.
There was an aura unique to a champion knight exuding from him.
This is a bit scary.
The opponent was only in his early twenties at best, and possessed the strength of a great knight, which was already appalling, and that of a champion knight was unheard of.
It's guaranteed to be true. Xiao En replied with a smile, Don't stand and talk, please come inside, I've already set up a banquet to clean up the dust for the general.
When Dixon was looking at Sean, Sean was also evaluating him.
Compared with the gladiator champion who showed his sharpness in the arena back then, Di Kelong's words and deeds are full of military style.
Five or six years of war career did not leave too many traces of time on his body, and his appearance was exactly the same as back then, but the war left indelible marks on him, and there were two more lines on his face alone scars, let alone the body.
Everything is silently telling the dangers of the war in the past few years, it is by no means as simple as the few spies Xiao En read.
Let's get straight to the point. If you don't clarify the matter, even the best wine will be tasteless. Di Kelong said bluntly.
Okay, the general speaks quickly, let's talk about business first, and it's not too late to eat. Di Kelong's reaction did not surprise Sean.
Di Kelong has a high IQ and a low EQ, and he has long been famous all over the world with his outstanding achievements. Playing tricks and talking about politeness with such a person is to make himself uncomfortable.
Therefore, after the two parties entered the living room, Xiao En went straight to the subject and said, I don't know what the general plans to do in the future?
What are your plans? Di Kelong pondered over Sean's question in his mind, and fell into long contemplation.
