Chapter 534 [Determining Difficulty (1)]

When Sophie really saw Hastings, the famous "Odin Valkyrie", even if he had previously made countless fantasies about this famous 6-star veteran, his mind has been described countless times. I've looked at him-but when Hastings was right in front of him, Sophie still couldn't help sighing.

Those previous ideas seemed to have failed.

The reputation of Hastings is like a nightmare to the Byzantine Empire. And through various channels, Sophie also knew about the Odin famous little by little.

It is rumored that he is not tall and burly, and unlike the Odin who was born with a strong body, he is even a little thin and not tall. However, according to rumors, the Odin marvelous man stood in front of him as if looking up at a high mountain. The triangular warfare gun in his hand, on the battlefield, exists like the death **** who harvested life.

He should undoubtedly be a person who is extremely proud and extremely cold.

Murderous, majestic in all directions-perhaps this should be the image of a peerless celebrity.

but……

At this moment, in this airtight cowhide tent, the man in front of him was sitting in a chair covered with a soft and thick tiger skin, and his body was crooked on the chair cup. Some old taste.

In the impression, only those old and frail old people will show such weak and curled up posture when they sit down.

The well-known Triangular war rifle hung crookedly in the corner of the tent, and saw nothing at all.

Even Sophie felt that the man in front of him even had a thick taste of breathing.

The lights in the tent were dim, because they were too airtight and had a strange smell.

The man's face seemed to be so blurred under the dim lights.

This ... this is Hastings?

This weak-looking, even angular guy, is that Odin Valkyrie? The warrior Odin, who has killed countless empires and never failed in years? !!

Sophie sighed secretly, but she still bowed slowly, and performed a solemn manner.

"You're from Shaya?"

Hastings's voice was very hoarse, and Sophie noticed that when Hastings spoke, his breath was a bit turbulent. Although he had tried to cover this up, this cover-up was unsuccessful.

(He was badly hurt.) Sophie immediately reached such a conclusion in her mind.

"Yes, sir." Sophie raised her eyelids and stared at Hastings. "My name is Sophie, and is the chief of staff of General Xia Leiming."

"..." Hasting scrutinized the young woman in front of him, and after a while he raised an eyebrow: "You seem disappointed?"

"?" Sophie stared at Hasting in surprise.

"You're disappointed." Hasting smiled at himself: "You must be thinking now: The famous Hasting, this is exactly what it looks like, it looks like a sick cat, it's more like a sick cat, is not it?"

Sophie frowned. She didn't answer this question, but smiled slightly: "His contemporary celebrity, half a lifetime has not been defeated! Only shocked to be yan, who in the world does not smell your name? My little woman's opinion, again What is it? "

"..." Hastings was silent for a moment, and he looked at Sophie's eyes slightly more seriously: "You're right-you look like a very talkative person. I started to understand why the guy in Charya would Trust a woman, let a woman be his chief of staff. "

Sophie smiled slightly and didn't say anything about the topic of "woman". She looked around and waited for Hastings to find a place for her to sit down.

Hastings' eyes narrowed immediately, but instead of speaking, he showed a little interest in looking at the little girl in front of him.

"Sir, I came here just to show the sincerity of our Northern Army. Earlier ..." Sophie said after brewing for a while, Hasting interrupted her suddenly, and said lightly: "Since you Come here, can I think that you are ready to cooperate with me? "

"No." Sophie said very simply: "I'm afraid you will be wrong!"

"Oh?" Hasting frowned.

"Cooperation ... This kind of thing usually has the foundation that both parties must have enough chips and equal status to talk about 'cooperation'." Sophie's words were very sharp, looking at Hastings "Dare to ask your Excellency, do you think that, given the current situation of your army, compared to our Northern Army, is your weight sufficient to be an equal ally?"

Without waiting for Hastings to speak, Sophie said loudly: "I started the Northern Army, my Majesty Yingjie emerged, swept the Red Snow Army, and became famous all over the world in the First World War! Now sitting on the land of three counties, with a population of 1 million and tens of thousands of soldiers The soldiers are good enough, and the tiger empire is in the north! Although your army, although the Black Flag has a good reputation, ask yourself, since your army is now only 8,000 remnants, are you qualified to be an equal and ally with our army? ? "

"Hahahaha !!!" Hastings listened without smiling. Just as his laughter sounded, this skinny man like a sick cat suddenly burst into an imposing momentum like a lion!

Although he still sat there without moving, but just smiled so boldly, his boldness suddenly showed, and in the original gloomy eyes, he suddenly shot like a sharp sword! Overwhelmed by such eyes, even Sufei, who was as restless as she was, couldn't help shaking her mind.

This laughter came suddenly, and it went fast! As Hasting's eyes changed, the laughter came to an abrupt halt, staring at Sophie, coldly: "It turned out that your lord is not here to talk about cooperation, but to recruit?"

He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Did you know that? For so many years, no Byzantine has dared to say such arrogant words in front of me. Before you, anyone who dared to speak like me in front of me, Now even the corpses are gone! "

At this instant, Sophie immediately felt the killing intention of the other party. Standing in front of this angry lion, she suddenly felt that she was so small, just like a small boat in front of Jingang 1ang. The other party can swallow themselves up at any time!

This kind of momentum, among the people that Sophie knows, among the famous empires of the empire, Adrik did not! The Duke of Minas did not! Even Xia was a little bit weaker!

Such madness is the majesty of not knowing how many times to battle the battlefield, invincible, how many corpses and blood seas, and how many empire generals' corpses pile up!

The majesty of invincible generals!

(Only such a guy is worthy of the title of "Odin Valkyrie". Only this guy can make a single shot and rush to the enemy's defender in Denzel City to kill several enemy generals, and then besieged in the army Below, Yang grows away ...)

This moment is the real Hastings!

Facing Hastings, Sophie braced her head and said slowly, "I am a little girl, if you offend your tiger's might, you will kill me, but it's just a matter of thought. But ..."

"I'll let you finish." Hasting snorted. "But you remember, don't try to test me with words. I anger me. I won't kill you now, not because of your own cleverness. That kid's face. "

"Even if you are annoyed, I still want to say something." Sophie looked cold: "It is natural that you do n’t need to say what your army is in now. Dare to ask yourself, eight thousand remnants, and lost your home. , How many more chips do you think of conditionality? "

Hasting sneered.

"You are all over the world, and you are invincible with the three-sided rifle in your hand. I, a little woman, naturally cannot dare to doubt your ability." Is it a tree without roots, how can it last for a long time? Do I still use this principle? "

Hastings remained silent.

"I only ask your Excellency, dare to ask how much of the surplus grain is left in your army?" Su Fei said lightly.

Hastings lifted his eyelid and glanced at Sophie: "There are still three months to spend, this will not need you netbsp;" March? "Sophie smiled:" Your army has trooped more than 8,000 people. I think you have already abandoned most of the heavy weight. If you say there is still March's grain, Your Excellency, do you deceive me? "

Hastings still sneered: "I said March, it's March! If the food is poor, I have a triangular rifle and eight thousand tigers, will I not take it myself? Your city of Denzel It ’s only a few miles away from here! Horses will run fast, day and night! Then, by the moat of the city of Madanzell, how can the small town of Danzell block my edge! "

"I believe it!" Sophie whispered: "With the general's ability, if you want to take Denzel, a small one, you can't resist it, but I dare ask the general, even after you take Denzel? What about it? "

Hasting frowned and stopped talking.

"The Black Flag Army is already an army of backing nations, and the only foreign aid that can be established now is our Northern Army! If you take Danzel City, you will be evil with our Northern Army. By then, the world will be as big as your Black Flag Army. Is it a foothold? Is it possible that the mighty black flag army will flee into the wildfire field to fall into the grass? To do that horse thief? "

Hasting sneered for a moment: "Okay, don't talk anymore, tell me what you bring!"

"My Northern Army is willing to accept your army, and is willing to set aside a city for your army to stand on. At the same time, we can first provide a monthly ration." Sophie said here, paused slightly: "But, The Black Flag Army also has to pay a certain price. When needed, the Black Flag Army will fight for our Northern Army. "

"Hah! That's the surrender!" Hasting sneered anxiously: "Do you think I will bend to be a running dog with people?"

"Not surrender." Sophie laughed. "It's employment."

"... Employment?" Hastings was quieter, and he looked at Sophie.

"It's just employment!" Sophie spread his hands. "We pay for the food, even if we pay the price of the Black Flag Army to fight for us. The Black Flag Army does not belong to our Northern Army, but only uses money and food to help. A mercenary. "

Speaking of which, Sophie has completely relaxed: "So, our relationship is not an ally, not a subordinate, but a simple employment relationship. When we give money and food, your army will fight for us, as simple as that."

For a moment, Hastings Shen yín sneered, "What a vicious woman."

His tone was faintly angry: "Your idea is savvy! Let money and food be the bait, and make me the black flag army become your knife in your hand, but this knife will only cut more and more blunt! Our homeless and rootless The lone army, no matter how good the black flag army can be, how many wars can it fight? In the end, my black flag army will become weaker and weaker. In the future, in the future, one day, it will be truly annexed by you. "

"I don't deny that I have such a thought." Sophie made no concealment and said lightly: "But I am a member of the Northern Army and naturally only think of my Northern Army! No wonder, Your Excellency, my Northern Army You will give away your money and food at no cost? Isn't there such a cheap thing in the world? To be honest ... In addition to being able to fight, the Black Flag has a great reputation, but in addition, what else do we value? What's the value? "

This is the sorrow of the "solitary army"!

The lone army without roots is so miserable!

The Black Flag Army was invincible in the past, but after all, it was the army of the Odin Empire. Behind it was a huge empire support, as well as tribal lands, and countless people. After many years of battle, the army was damaged. Naturally, the territorial tribes in the rear also supplemented the army, and the wasted money and food also had the support of the empire!

But now, an lone army has no home, no foundation, and the tribes in Odin are afraid of being destroyed ...

Sophie's sentence was a hit!

How can a tree without roots last? !!

Even though the Black Flag can still fight now, it still has a powerful fighting force, but how can it last without a foundation? Fighting always kills people, and there is always damage. Fighting one battle after another, how much can eight thousand elites remain?

Now it is not the same as before. Without the support of the rear, the army will be depleted, and there will only be fewer and fewer soldiers. Can't recruit Byzantines to join the Black Flag Army?

Wouldn't it be a joke.

No matter how you look at it, this lone army has no future! There is no future!

Sophie knew this, and Hastings must have understood it. It's just that everyone is unwilling to break through this layer.

For Hastings, he knew very well the fate of this Black Flag Army. In the future, he would either have to fight all over the battlefield, or, sooner or later, he would be annexed.

Just because of his pride, he is not willing to face up to this fact or face it.

"I said yes to what you said!" Hastings took a deep breath, looking cold: "But I still have one condition. If you agree, I will agree! If you do not agree, then No need to talk anymore! I will lead the army to Denzel in the future! "

"Please speak."

"Go back and see Charlie." Hasting slowly said, "He knows exactly what I want, and he knows what I want in my heart! As long as you ask him, that thing in my heart, in the future Is he able to do it for me! If he can do it for me, then ... even if the Black Flag really gives it to you, I recognize it! If he can't, then ... "

Having said that, Hastings closed his mouth and Sophie didn't ask again. The meaning is already clear. If Xia can not give Hastings a satisfactory answer, then the two sides will naturally have no possibility of cooperation.

It's just that Sufi was wondering, what exactly is this Hastings, what is he thinking? Why did Charya know?

※※※

Xia and his party headed north and entered the site of the Besta Military District, Hask City.

This time, when she returned to her homeland north, Xia was uncharacteristically and did not hide her whereabouts and identity. Since entering the site of the Besta Military District, she has been unceremoniously clear in the first town she passed by. Identity, commander of the Northern Army, Duke of the Imperial Nords, Lord Xia Leiming ...

For Xia, it now seems that there is no need to hide his identity.

For who it is, he is accompanied by a golden dragon companion, and with him an almost invincible "God" beside him. At the same time, this "God" is obedient to himself.

In this case, if you carefully hide your identity, you are sick! At this time, Charlie can't wait to be as high-profile as possible! He couldn't help but think, if his father-in-law Odin, Emperor Hannigan, came to find his best, he pointed at Hannigan and said, "Enemies, dead base, dead base!" Just rushed up ...

When the party went dozens of miles outside the city of Haskell, the garrison in the city of Haskker had already lined up to greet them.

Charlie's carriage was naturally changed a long time ago. It was no longer the old junk, but two good cars on the road from the Bestas. And our Lord Magician Dodoro finally got rid of the driver's pain-the Bestad garrison on the road naturally sent a dedicated **** and driver.

About thirty miles outside of Haskell, the cavalry greeted by the garrison crossed over to Xia, and to Xia's surprise, Dax was also following him.

Dax has been regarded by the Charlie as a liaison officer with the Besta, and has been left here for many days. On weekdays, the news of the Besta is also based on him. Passed, and I heard that this guy seems to be quite happy in the life of Besta. The beautiful Mrs. Governor of Taobao Women ’s Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao ’s Women ’s Winter Coat m also treats him very well, and often even calls this guy, asking him for a lot of things.

(Shouldn't be countered by the Beasts.) Xia Ya's malicious guess.

But at this time when seeing Dax, this guy's face was not easy, as if there was no such lazy and weird smile as before, but his face was serious.

After receiving the Charlie with the welcoming team, he seemed to be greatly relieved.

Dax stepped off the horse and came to Xia's presence before Xia said: "Why are you here? Aren't you with the governor's wife in the house of the Bestars?"

"A big deal has happened." Dax looked dignified: "The day before yesterday, I sent the news to Xincheng, but the reply from Xincheng, you are not at home at all! If this matter is urgent, if you don't come back, Xincheng wo n’t really know what to How decided! "

At first glance, there was always a dishonest expression on Dax, and Charya knew that things were really unusual.

"What was born?"

"Osgilia, mutiny!" Dax laughed bitterly: "Boss, your old boss, General Adrik, has caused a mutiny, and has taken away the highest command of Osgilia. The emperor has been forced Let him be the Marshal of the Protectorate, and command all the military powers of the Emperor at home and abroad! "

As soon as Xia Ya heard this, it really changed color!

He never expected that Adrik, loyal to the empire, would actually mutiny? !!

The first reaction, he immediately grabbed Dax's neck: "What about the royal family? Is there any damage in the royal palace?"

Mutiny ... Adrik is so loyal to the empire that he would do such a thing ... Xia is shocked, but at this moment, what he cares most about is his own woman in the palace!

damn it! Such things as mutiny must be a big 1uan! !! Under the big 1uan ... Deffini, Diffini ... Will she be all right?

"I didn't hear anything. Adrik seemed to be restrained, but he brought his soldiers into the palace. The emperor bī gave him full power, and he also took over the military power of the private army of nobles. But ... … "Dax smiled bitterly:" Before the mutiny, the Southern Empire suffered 1uan. The Duke of Minas took control of the army and brought tens of thousands of troops to the south to rebel. Adriatic mutiny, the situation inside, I'm afraid it is more complicated than we expected. "

Charlie's mind has quickly turned various thoughts.

At this time, Dax added another sentence: "When you come all the way, the Beasts have already informed you one by one, knowing that you will pass by here. In the morning, the Governor ’s wife has already arrived in Hask City, and is here Meet you. I said, boss, I have to remind you that the situation has changed a lot now. What kind of thoughts in the governor's wife can't be guessed. After entering the city to meet the woman, You have to be a bit distracted. This woman ... hehe, but a guy who can't eat a bone. "

Ok?

Mrs. Governor? That woman came here to meet herself?

The idea is to discuss the cooperation between the two and how to deal with this new and huge change in the empire.

The Duke of Minas took control of the military and moved south ... Adrik took over the power in the Imperial Capital Mutiny ...

This thing is weird!
