Chapter 456 Reuniting the old team

"you you you……"

Gu Lanting pointed at Gree and said "you" three times in a row. He was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Lu Chen found it a bit funny. He didn't expect that his adjutant would not talk so little when facing other old comrades.

Of course, it may also be that you are angered by the other party's behavior.

Lu Chen raised his hand to interrupt Gu Lanting's attack, and Gu Lanting immediately stood up in a military posture with a solemn expression.

"Gree, how could it become like this?"

He looked at the strong man in front of him. In his memory, this guy was a first-class fighter. He was best at charging into battles. There was no battlefield that he didn't dare to charge into.

Gree was a little embarrassed. He also had a sense of shame. When the Duke saw him performing his stunts, he was really a little embarrassed. "I have just been in this city for a few days..."

After Gree's narration, Lu Chen and Gu Lanting roughly figured out what was going on.

The year Duke Godzilla was imprisoned, Gu Lanting retired. Not long after that, Gree felt angry and resigned.

But after returning to his hometown, he found that his parents had died of old age. The sad Gree stayed in front of his parents' graves for a while, and then began to go out to make a living.

But he discovered that he didn't know anything except fighting and cutting down the cubs in the abyss.

As for the good guy, his subsidy was withheld. He wanted to ask his old brothers for help, but found that everyone seemed to have retired, and he was too embarrassed to speak to others he didn't know well, so he endured it.

Then by chance, he saw someone performing on the street and thought that he would be good at this because he was strong.

At first, they performed some heartbreaking shows, but now that there is a famine in the north, it is not easy for everyone. Who would give a reward after watching the show?

So he came up with a plan. Since he was not afraid of being beaten, he could be used as a punching bag for others. Then those nobles and rich people in the north who felt unhappy would pull him over and give him a good beating, and wouldn't the money come in?

But in the past two years, the famine has become more and more serious, and life has become more difficult. His requirements have become lower and lower. He only needs half a bucket of rice, and he can do whatever he wants.

Even because he has a high-intensity fighting spirit to protect his body, you can attack him with your sword.

"I originally wanted to pick up the Duke, but I remembered the wrong time. What a coincidence to see you here today, what a coincidence."

Gree said with a silly smile that he had indeed forgotten the time, not the month and date, he had mixed up the year.

"It's okay, just follow me from now on."

Lu Chen patted this strong man on the shoulder. He looked like a monster.

This guy's personal strength is higher than that of Gu Lanting, but Yazi doesn't seem to be very smart.

"I just want to follow the Duke."

Gree smiled naively and said, "Duke, when will you lead me to fight again?"

"Yes, I will take a look at the northern border, and then we will return to the capital together."

Lu Chen said.

At this time, he also felt a little emotional in his heart. Godzilla in this world really has a group of good comrades, but his life may not be very good now.

At first he thought Duke Godzilla and his comrades were stupid, but then he searched his memory carefully and found that that might not be the case.

Duke Godzilla could have made arrangements before he was imprisoned. For people like Gu Lanting and Gree, it would be difficult for the king to remove them from their posts if they did not withdraw from the army, but they all "abolished their martial arts" .

This kind of thing wouldn't have happened if Duke Godzilla had said hello in advance, such as "Stay peacefully in the army and wait for my return."

But Duke Godzilla didn't remind him. Basically, he allowed these people to leave and the king to make a major change in the army.

The frustrated Godzilla was really ready to let go. At that time, he felt that it was also an opportunity to return all the power to his younger brother.

Duke Godzilla also knew that his younger brother disliked him and was wary of the older brother who was always weighing on him, but he stuck to his promise to his father and never had any other thoughts about his younger brother.

Since you want military power and the power that a real monarch should have, I will give it to you. Anyway, Kusla was already an adult by then, and it was time for him to learn to run a country on his own.

But what neither Duke Godzilla nor Lu Chen expected was that the monarch did so thoroughly, which could be said to be a bit too much.

These generals who have a good relationship with Duke Godzilla will not receive subsidies after retirement. If this is only the case with Gu Lanting, it may be that there is a problem with the local governor and it is an individual case, but the same is true for Gree.

The payment of subsidies to veterans is a major matter. If you withhold payment, your head will be lost if you are found out. This kind of thing has no authority from above. Lu Chen doesn't think those governors dare to do this.

Tracing back further, the source can only be the king of the Keya Empire, his younger brother, Kusla Howard.

Not only was there a comprehensive cleansing of the army, but it also restricted the future of veterans like Duke Godzilla, and the source of those rumors was probably his handiwork.

It's not that Lu Chen couldn't understand Kusla's fear of his brother. After all, no monarch can tolerate someone in the country who has more power and prestige than himself, no matter how loyal, capable, or impossible of betrayal that person is.

Especially after learning that Duke Godzilla was having an affair with the Elf Princess, Kusla became more sensitive. He had every reason to be hostile to his brother.

Even if you, Duke Godzilla, don’t rebel, what about your son?

What if your son... wants to be a king?

You must know that although Duke Godzilla is an illegitimate son, he is still a member of the Howard family, and his title of duke is still hereditary. If he has a son, then the son of Duke Godzilla will of course be considered a member of the Howard family, and as long as he is Howard Members of the family are qualified to inherit the throne!

If Duke Godzilla becomes the king one day, the imperial ministers will not be able to say anything, because the king has always been a member of the Howard family. As long as he is from the Howard family and ascends to the throne based on his strength, it is considered legitimate.

Human and dragon blood mixed?

If Duke Godzilla really led the Great Wall Army to the city, which minister would dare to question it like this? The bloodbath in the capital had already broken the courage of these people.

Kusla was afraid. He was afraid that his nephew would instigate his father if he wanted to be a king.

In the past, Kusla thought that Duke Godzilla was a cold and unfeminine man. He had never heard of his brother having a relationship with a woman, so he felt relieved.

But later he heard that his brother actually had a woman. Although she was an elf woman, it would be difficult to tell if there were children.

The human heart is the most unpredictable and changeable.

Although it was not impossible to understand the king's mentality, Lu Chen was still a little angry at the younger brother he had never met before, lamenting the other's short-sightedness and short-sightedness.

Duke Godzilla honestly surrendered his military power and went to prison in Cammons Prison. This is already an obvious attitude.

After all this, do you still think... it's not enough?

If it's not enough...

Gree heard what the Duke said. Although he didn't know what the Duke was thinking at this time, he was very happy. "Then I will follow the Duke. There will definitely be a battle."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Let's go, Gu Lanting, lead the way to meet the old brothers."

Gu Lanting stood at attention, full of energy, "Yes!"

He has been waiting for this day for a long time, and he has been holding this breath for twenty years.

Now that the Duke has returned and gathered his old troops, it seems that his ambition is still alive and he is the invincible guardian of mankind that he knew.

…………

Five days later, Lu Chen walked towards the gate of an ancient city, followed by more than twenty people.

These are the retired comrades Gu Lanting found in the north based on his memories.

As Lu Chen guessed, everyone was not doing well.

The one who did the best worked as a nurse for a wealthy businessman, while some of the others worked as grinders in workshops, and some became blacksmith apprentices... The worst brother was in a similar situation to Gree, with no skills and poor communication skills. If there is a problem, if you go into the mountains, you will almost become a savage.

But no matter how miserable their lives were, these people never turned into bandits or violated discipline.

Obviously they have powerful force. They can rob, steal, and even kill the consuls who dare to deduct their subsidies.

But none of them did this. Everything was taught by Duke Godzilla.

As a soldier, you cannot attack your compatriots, you cannot point your weapons at civilians, and you must abide by the law.

Lu Chen admired these people's chivalry and noble warrior character. They were a little silly and cute.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but most of the soldiers in Duke Godzilla's group are from civilian backgrounds, and there are no nobles. This is a rare situation.

Normally, only nobles can become knights, but because of their military exploits and the canonization of Duke Godzilla, these mud-legged followers who followed him all became knights.

It's just that after you take off your armor and return home, this status is of no use. Others will respect you if you show your status as a knight, but knights without money can't eat for free. In other words, the ladies in the royal capital like this status very much. Appear brave and noble.

After seeing him, the people around Lu Chen all dropped what they were doing and chose to follow him.

For these men who only know how to fight, following Duke Godzilla is the honor of a lifetime.

They waited for 20 years, and they waited for how many years!

"Old brothers, what a misfortune! The boy sitting on the throne is so unworthy of a human being. If you ask me, Lord Duke, please kill him and become the king yourself. We will definitely support you!"

Gree is a straight-tempered person who can't speak without thinking. He saw that his brothers were living in misery, and he was obviously suppressed by the people above him.

"Gree, what are you talking about!"

Gu Lanting scolded that this was a matter of rebellion, and those who were close to the Duke knew that the Duke was very trustworthy. He promised the late king that he would assist King Kulas, so he would not rebel.

Besides, they rebelled? What are you rebelling against?

Just rely on the Duke's powerful personal force, and veterans like them?

Now King Kulas has completely replaced the army with his own people. Not to mention the defenders of the Great Wall, there are 300,000 elite forbidden troops in the royal capital alone!

No matter how strong an individual is, he will still die in the sea of ​​​​people in the military formation. This was proved by the guardian dragon Egg twenty years ago.

And even if the Duke has improved in strength in twenty years, he is still at the level of the guardian dragon. How can he be able to defeat the boundless army?

"Deputy Commander, actually... Captain Gree's words are also true. The Duke is released from prison, but in fact the king didn't send anyone here at all. You were the one who went to pick him up, right?"

A tall and thin man said, "And all kinds of rumors, I suspect, are also spread by the boy on the throne."

The others didn't speak, but they all had expressions of approval.

As for Gree, they actually wanted to say it twenty years ago.

"Let's go to the city first."

Lu Chen spoke, interrupting everyone's discussion, and did not answer Gree's words.

As Gurantin thought, rebellion was definitely not possible at the moment, and he also needed to take a look at the main mission arrangements for the next link.

This world is far from as simple as it seems. It can be seen from the strength of the guardian dragon that Aige is the top powerhouse on the mainland, but his strength is only within the fourth level.

And the upper limit of difficulty in this world is... level 45.

The city in front of you is Linbei City, which is the city closest to the Great Wall and one of the largest cities in the north.

Lu Chen had a general understanding of the situation in the north these days. People were indeed in dire straits. Even the food in the cities was not enough, and many people in the villages were starving to death.

They came to this city to find someone. Duke Godzilla once had three elite legions under his command, one of which he personally commanded, and the other two were Gree's Iron Lion and the Blue Ice Wolf.

According to Gu Lanting, the former leader of Cang Yuan Ice Wolf lived in Linbei City.

After entering the city, the veterans spread out to find out the news. Lu Chen, Gu Lanting, and Gree acted together.

While resting in a teahouse, they suddenly felt a slight tremor in the earth. Looking down from upstairs, they saw a large number of city defense troops wearing armor passing by.

Lu Chen led the two of them downstairs and asked the waiter at the door, "What happened?"

The young waiter laughed along and said: "I heard someone said there was trouble and people were killed in the city. It seems that the matter was not serious. The city defense troops were dispatched in large numbers."

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, and decided to go take a look just in case, "Let's go."

After saying that, he led the way, and several of them were strong men, walking through the streets like the wind.

After a while, they came to the street where the incident occurred, and the air was filled with the strong smell of blood.

At this time, there was a wild man with a beard and silver hair, holding the sword of the city defense army in his hand, slashing the city defense army who rushed towards him. The blood on the ground was gurgling, and dozens of corpses of the city defense army were lying on the ground. ground.

The silver-haired man's eyes were red, and behind him in front of the house were a comatose little girl and a shivering old man dressed as a priest.

After cutting down another city defender, the silver-haired man roared and shouted: "Come on! Kill me! If you don't give me a way to survive, then don't live!"

The city defense army was frightened by the fierce force, and for a while no one dared to step forward.

The silver-haired man spat, "Damn it, when I was fighting the Abyss brats at the Great Wall, you were still wetting the bed!"

He turned around and looked at the priest fiercely, "Treat me quickly. Do you want money? How much is your life worth!?"

The old priest trembled, "You are crazy, you are crazy, this is a capital crime, a capital crime!"

"Fuck you, I have obeyed the law and endured it for twenty years. If my wife dies, my daughter will die too? I don't want to live today!"

The silver-haired man turned around and struck out with his sword again, cutting off two city defense troops who wanted to sneak attack him.

Not far away, Gree pointed at the silver-haired man and said in surprise: "Isn't this an old wolf?"

Gu Lanting, who was next to him, frowned. He was not as ambitious as Gree.

Although I don’t know how the scene in front of me evolved, it seems that Old Wolf has caused a big trouble. Privately killing the city defense army is a capital crime.

They are in trouble.
