When Fangzheng and Fay walked out of the door, they saw the three people being chased out by the soldiers.
"Wait, wait, what are you doing! You're chasing us away like dogs! "
The brown-haired girl with two ponytails was obviously dissatisfied and shouted loudly. Then, General Morgan walked out and stared at them coldly.
"Hmph, that's all you deserve. Not only did you intentionally conceal your identity, you even dared to blatantly swindle military intelligence.... To do such a shameless thing, looks like the credibility of the guerrillas is only so-so! "
"Oh? Guerrillas. "
Fangzheng raised his eyebrows as he looked at the three people not far away. General Morgan seemed to be quite angry, and he even said that he was swindling military intelligence … Could it be that the Guerrilla Association was also involved in this matter? Hmm, it wasn't that strange. After all, there were civilians on the ships, and the guerrillas were an organization that acted for the civilians. The transport of the core components on the ships was an absolute secret, so they definitely didn't know about it. But....
How troublesome.
Fangzheng frowned slightly as he sized up the three people not far away. The Guerrilla Association was responsible for dealing with civilian problems. In his opinion, it was the most lacking link in the continent's politics. The government was supposed to communicate with the civilians through the police, so they could rely on each other. But because of the appearance of the guerrillas, the problems of the civilians were basically solved by the guerrillas. In other words, the goodwill of the civilians was given to the guerrillas, while their dissatisfaction was completely thrown to the government.
Speaking of which, he had already received the news that the Empire was tightening up the existence of the Guerrilla Association. Hmm, it seemed like he had to make some preparations in Croesbell.
He couldn't just let the fruits of his labor be harvested by others.
While Fangzheng was deep in thought, the other side was also in a heated argument.
"Swindle! Come to think of it, this is all your fault! Who told you not to report the information to the Guerrilla Association! "
Of course it was because it was a military secret. How could they let an organization like the Guerrilla Association know about it?
"Nonsense! How can we let an organization that is at best a civil society take responsibility for such an incident!? "
Obviously, General Morgan and Fangzheng had the same opinion.
"Really, what is Maybelle thinking? Hiring a little girl like her will only bring trouble to the search operation … …"
At this moment, General Morgan also began to grumble with a gloomy expression. The Maybell he was talking about should be the mayor of Perth. Speaking of which, because of the military blockade, commercial traffic in the Perth region had been completely halted. As the mayor, she couldn't just stand by and do nothing. That was why she hired these guerrillas to solve the problem.
Everything made sense now.
At this moment, the woman with snow-white hair and dressed like a dancer glared at General Morgan and said.
"… Please don't overdo it!!"
As she spoke, the dancer came up to Morgan and glared at him.
"General, have you ever thought about the reason why we came all the way here from Lorient? It's all because of you soldiers! He's completely useless at the critical moment!! "
Wow … this woman really has the guts to say that.
Fangzheng couldn't help but shake his head while General Morgan's face turned ashen as he glared at the dancer.
"Wh-w-w-w-what!!!?"
At this moment, the woman also started to complain incessantly.
"You pushed all the responsibility to the guerrilla association without a proper investigation … … You even drew a line with us with such a condescending attitude after such a huge incident. Besides, let alone the hostages, we haven't even found the ship's whereabouts yet. Don't you feel any shame?! "
The guerrillas seem to be very arrogant.
Seeing the woman's attitude towards General Morgan, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes. A cold glint flashed across his eyes. Indeed, the guerrillas were an organization that existed to protect civilians. But they seemed to want to interfere in everything just because they raised this flag? Just because the civilians on the ship were threatened, they dared to pry into military intelligence? And judging from General Morgan's expression, he didn't seem to be able to do anything to them.
The existence of such an organization was detrimental to the stability and unity of a country.
Hmm … … he couldn't do anything about Libel, but in Croesbell, Fangzheng would never allow such a thing to happen.
Perhaps he could learn from the Empire?
"Shut up, little girl!!"
At this moment, General Morgan was completely enraged.
"How can an organized and disciplined army act as they please like you? If you act without thinking things through, you'll only alert the enemy and let the criminal escape. If you don't understand anything, don't spout nonsense in a fit of anger! "
The woman dressed as a dancer had no intention of backing down. She continued to stare at General Morgan.
"What a nice way to put it … …!"
Oh oh oh, let's fight!
Watching the sparks collide, Fangzheng was quite excited. He wanted to see how arrogant this woman was, whether she would dare to lay a hand on General Morgan, and whether she would be directly sent to prison … … After all, it had nothing to do with him, right? Watching a show was never a bad thing.
However, at this moment, the sound of a zither suddenly rang out, interrupting the quarrel between the two sides. Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a white-clothed, golden-haired young man standing not far away. He held a zither in his hands and was looking over here.
"Ah, how sad. Quarreling is fruitless … … It will only make this parched land even more desolate. I would like to sing a song for all of you. A song that can nourish the wilderness in your heart, and let the beautiful flower of hope bloom, a song that is gentle and sad … … "
As he spoke, the blonde young man plucked the strings of the zither and sang.
"Gliding across the horizon, the path of the stars … … like a road sign, leading to you … …"
'Oh, he's singing now?'
Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted by the blonde young man, Fangzheng was instantly dissatisfied. 'Are you kidding me? I'm the most handsome person here. You little bastard, you want to attract attention by singing?'
With this in mind, Fangzheng scoffed coldly.
"Fay, step back."
“？”
"Let me show him what a professional is."
As he spoke, Fangzheng reached into his pocket and took out a golden … … suona.
Then, he placed it by his mouth and pointed it at the sky.
"Beep … … Beep beep beep … … Beep beep beep beep! Beep beep beep beep beep beep! Beep beep beep beep beep!! "
'Come on, everyone, let's walk with our wives on our backs!!'
"… … The first kiss, the last kiss … … Yours … …"
Amidst the joyful sounds of the suona, the blonde young man finally could not continue singing anymore. He stopped helplessly. Seeing that the other party had admitted defeat, Fangzheng put down the suona in his hand and smiled at the blonde young man.
"… … …"
Seeing this scene, the two squads who were arguing just now were completely speechless.
"Ahem, ahem."
General Morgan looked at Fangzheng with a complicated expression, then coughed and turned to the soldiers beside him.
"The reports from the search teams should have arrived by now, right?"
"Yes! Awaiting the General's approval! "
"Very well, then I'll go back to work. Remember, don't let those people in again."
After saying that, General Morgan turned around and walked to the door.
"Also … … remove the surveillance station of the Steel Road. I don't want to see them here anymore. They're such an eyesore."
After saying that, General Morgan walked into the fortress and closed the door again.
"Haha, no matter which country it is, soldiers are just as unromantic."
At this moment, the golden-haired youth walked over with a grin. Fangzheng swept a glance at him.
"I think he's better than those pretentious bards."
However, at that moment, the brown-haired woman with twin ponytails looked at Fangzheng in surprise. Then, she extended her hand and pointed at him.
"Ah, it's Mr. Fangzheng!!"
As she shouted, the girl ran up to Fangzheng and smiled at him happily.
"You must be Mr. Fangzheng! It's been a long time. I'm Estelle! "
"Estelle?"
Upon hearing the words of the girl with brown ponytails, Fangzheng was taken aback for a moment. Then, he recalled the figure of the girl he met once in Lorient.
"That Estelle? You've grown so big? I really didn't recognize you. "
"Hehe, but Mr. Fangzheng, you don't seem to have changed at all. You're still the same as before."
"Estelle?"
At this moment, the other two also walked over and looked at this scene in confusion.
"Do you guys know each other?"
"Yes, this is the big brother I told you about who taught me how to play games!"
"So he's the one who brought Estelle into the evil path …."
Upon hearing Estelle's answer, the silver-haired woman looked at Fangzheng and muttered. The black-haired young man next to her looked at Estelle in surprise.
"But you haven't seen each other for several years. I'm surprised you still remember his name."
"Because his name is weird, so I remembered it. After all, most people don't have such a weird name."
"… Don't say other people's names in front of others …."
The black-haired young man sighed helplessly. The silver-haired woman next to him nodded and looked around.
"We can't keep standing here. Let's find a place to talk."
In the tavern next to the Haken Gate, they found a place to sit down and introduced themselves.
Fangzheng learned that the silver-haired woman who was dressed like a dancer was called Sherazard Harvey. She was a student of Cassius and also a guerrilla. Fangzheng naturally knew Estelle.
As for Joshua …. Sheyan only gave him a meaningful glance and did not comment too much.
Fangzheng also introduced himself to everyone and introduced Fey, who was next to him. As for the blond young man, he also shamelessly came over and introduced himself as Olivier Langheim, a wandering poet and performer. He came from the Erebonian Empire and said that he was going on a tour.
Of course, Fangzheng only thought of him as a mediocre bard.
After that, everyone expressed their intention to go to Perth. The blond young man also insisted on going with them. Sherazard had no choice but to agree. As for Fangzheng ….
"In that case, do you want to take our car?"
"A car?"
"Yeah."
Fangzheng smiled as he looked at Estele.
"We're going to Perth too. In that case, let's go together. I'll drive you. It'll be much faster than walking."
"Do we have a car?!"
Estelle's eyes lit up. The young man named Joshua looked at Sherazard. The latter hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
