Words:1488Update:22/07/01 11:54:22
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
The Golden Wall that they had seized back had once again become the military's barrier. The defeated barbarians were driven out of the golden wall and set up camp in the vast Red Maple Mountains. They didn't want to give up their base so easily. After all, although the Red Maple Mountains belonged to the outer region, it was still within the stronghold. It was rich in resources. Once they left, they would be blocked by the stronghold again and be exiled forever.
The military didn't rush to attack the Red Maple Mountains. Instead, they reorganized the soldiers and strengthened the defense of the golden wall. At the same time, the post-war inventory was gradually published in the newspapers. The casualties of various regions and the losses caused by the barbarians' invasion were calculated and published in the financial groups and the military newspapers. There were many generals and colonels who had sacrificed their lives in the war. They were published as heroes.
Compared to most of the heroes who had died, several commanders and generals who had outstanding performance in the battle were also published and praised. Dean was also one of them.
…
Dean saw that the military didn't pursue immediately. He knew that they were afraid of the barbarians' ambush. After all, the Red Maple Mountains had fallen into the hands of the barbarians. Moreover, the military wanted to wait for the regular army to recover before launching an attack. After all, the longer they dragged the more steam guns they would be able to produce. The more they would be able to win and the lower the consumption of soldiers would be.
"We should go back." Dean called Sergei and Gwyneth to get on the horse. He declined the escort of the three generals and the rest of the soldiers as he returned to the castle.
The three generals didn't continue to insist. In the past few days they had seen that Dean and Gwyneth were extraordinary. Their strength wasn't inferior to theirs. It would be very difficult to hurt Dean with their protection. Moreover, the war inside the golden wall was over. Even if Dean suffered casualties it wouldn't have much to do with the military.
"The battle is finally over, I can finally go back and have a good rest." On the horse, Sergei galloped, gulping down the wind as he shouted in the wilderness.
Dean faintly smiled. He waited for Sergei to finish shouting: "The war has just begun. Do you want to be lazy?"
Sergei was surprised: "Just begun?"
"Previously it was the war between the military and the barbarians. Now it is our war." Dean said: "Both of you will be busy after we go back."
Sergei woke up: "I almost forgot about the damn Mellon consortium. They had sent two senior hunters but none of them died. One of them is a woman. She seems to have black weaver magic marks. The ability of this magic mark is terrible especially in the aspect of assassination. She had shrunk into the ground during the battle. She was unscathed until the end of the battle. It's simply shameless!"
Dean couldn't help but think of Glenn's appearance. He smiled: "It's good that she didn't die. Hire her to join our consortium. She will be one of us in the future."
"You want to recruit her?" Sergei shook his head: "It's not easy to recruit a senior hunter unless she doesn't want to live or the Mellon consortium collapses."
Dean smiled but didn't open his mouth.
Gwyneth silently looked at Dean: "Master, yesterday was a good opportunity. We would have made great achievements if we had led the troops to attack. But you don't seem to be willing to fight for military merits. Why is that?"
"Oh?" Dean looked at her with interest: "What do you think?"
Gwyneth slightly frowned: "I can't figure it out. That's why I asked young master."
Dean smiled: "Sometimes you can't act too much. In addition, it's not your own business so you don't have to work so hard. It's enough if you do it well. If you do it well then it's perfect. If you try too hard then it will be a flaw."
There was a trace of doubt in Gwyneth's eyes.
"Think about the problem from interests and results …" Dean smiled. He patted the horse and galloped away.
Sergei looked at Dean's back and muttered: "I knew that he was so honest. He certainly didn't have good intentions. Go!"
The residents along the street recognized Dean as they returned to the commercial district. They cheered loudly and followed behind the horse's hooves.
Dean saw hundreds of people standing on both sides of the road by the time he reached the river. They were holding flowers in their hands. It seemed that they were waiting for something.
"It seems that they are here to welcome us?" Sergei was surprised but excited at the same time.
Dean nodded and slowly rode the horse towards them.
The people standing at the outermost edge screamed uncontrollably when they saw Dean. In an instant, the previous noise turned into a neat uproar. Everyone gathered towards Dean and others. Some even fell to the ground and were trampled by other excited people.
Dudian was riding on the horse. Naturally, he noticed that some women wearing skirts had accidentally fallen into the crowd. He hurriedly glanced at them and then retracted his gaze. There was a gentle smile on his face. Coupled with the handsome knight's armor, he looked like an upright knight of light. Many women on both sides screamed loudly. Countless flowers were thrown to the top of Dudian's head. Some of them fell on the armor, and some fell on the hair.
The crowd followed and cheered all the way as Dean rode his horse.
Gwyneth was riding behind Dean. She naturally saw the figures who had accidentally fallen. She wanted to say something but the words were drowned out by the tsunami of cheers.
She was silent as she silently looked at the back of the thin youth. It seemed that his back was shining in the sunshine and flowers.
On the other side, Sergei grinned, his face was full of smiles. Although he knew that these cheers, applause, and flowers weren't for him, but seeing the people around him cheering so crazily, his heart was still very happy.
The road will eventually come to an end. Dean came to the front of the castle. He dismounted and turned to look at the people behind him. He raised his hand and waved. Once again there was a cheer. He didn't say anything and turned to enter the castle.
Kroen and Neuss quickly came out of the castle. Neuss took Dean's horse. Kroen looked at Dean: "Master, you are finally back. Something terrible has happened in the past few days!"
Dean looked calm: "Tell the people outside to go back. Tell them that I want to rest and quiet."
Kroen was surprised but nodded: "Alright."
