So, after getting rid of the slave owners, Palatine called two carriages. With these five desolate soldiers and monsters, I embarked on a journey back to the church. As expected by Paladin, this trivial matter was said by some nobles in private as a conversation piece. Somehow it spread, and some people with heads and faces heard the news. The first impression that came to my mind was that Adeley had an idiot who believed in Enos.
But he said that just as the carriage had just left Adley, Palatine, who was sitting in the carriage giving bread and blankets to these starving soldiers, looked at these soldiers who were eager to swallow a large piece of bread, pretending that nothing had happened. He asked, "I heard from the slave owner, are you prisoners taken back from the battlefield? Have you fought?" "Yes."
One of the men who was obviously older took a bite of bread and hurriedly filled a bottle of water to answer the question of the savior: "Yes, we are all Aixin philosophers. The 50th reconnaissance regiment originally belonged to the 12th Corps. Reconnaissance Team No. 7. Encountered the front of your country's army on the plain on the border of Aixinzhe. There was a small-scale battle. They were supported by passing reconnaissance scouts. We were outnumbered and surrendered. We were stripped of our clothes and confiscated our weapons. It took me a long time to get here on the carriage." Speaking of which, the man also showed a happy smile: "Fortunately there is a priest, today is just the second day of our arrival here, if it weren't for you, who would have known that these beasts would Do something to us."
Paladin smiled undeniably, but the border between Ai Xinzhe and Kasmi was sketched in his mind. The team of more than a dozen people who met by chance drew their swords and fought fiercely. Even Paladin thought that Ai Xinzhe had rebelled, and just over a month later, there was a fight on the border. Of course, Archduke Kasmi, who got the first news, will not miss this good opportunity to take advantage of your illness to kill you. But people who rebel, naturally also think of being taken advantage of by others. It's hard to say, on the day of the rebellion, a large number of troops had already gathered at the border, waiting for the order of the rebels who had seized power, and they would immediately go to war against Kasmi. And Ai Xinzhe's neighbors are not only the Principality of Kasmi, but also the Nubian Kingdom on the other side!
Suddenly, Paladin felt a little enlightened. The three kingdoms that have maintained peace for three years are about to have a full-scale war! And what does war mean? Death, armor, destruction, and gold! When is a country's regime most generous? It's time to fight. They will be big flowers regardless of cost. Buy expensive armor, arrows, weapons, horses. There are also astronomical amounts of food and daily necessities! It is not so much a competition between the armies of the two sides, but rather a competition of the economy and finances of the two sides! This is a piece of the pie, that is, for everyone, an incomparably large amount of wealth!
With this idea in mind, Paladin took these six people back to the ** in the middle of the night. Perhaps it was late at night, and with the buildings that had not been repaired for many years, the originally small population of ** looked more like a town than a relic. Palatine happily opened the door of the church and took these people in.
With a bang, the five soldiers carried the iron cage with the sleeping monster into the church. Looking at the tired look of these people, Paladin took out a bottle of red wine and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, sit down and have a drink at the bar." "Ah, thank you Father." The five soldiers obviously liked drinking. Hearing Paladin's words, he immediately showed joy. He immediately sat around the dining table and looked at the humble church curiously.
Paladin glanced at the five people who didn't notice him, quietly turned his back, and took out a small bottle of blue potion from his sleeve. This kind of elixir that Palatine spent a lot of time refining is very effective, and the miracle time is very short. The only downside is that it has too many side effects. Waking up is worse than a hangover. But none of these Paladins took it to heart. I saw him gently pour a little potion into the wine bottle. The blue potion was mixed with the red wine, and immediately disappeared.
"Ah, I didn't expect the priest to be so simple." Several soldiers looked at this very dilapidated everything and sincerely admired it. However, hearing these words in Paladin's ears was really not a happy thing. After seeing the grandeur and extravagance of Adrienne Church, Palatine realized that this ghost place is simply a beggar's kennel! How could he Palatine live here! A magnificent church like Adeley is where it belongs!
Thinking like this, Palatine turned around incredulously, and pretended to shake the bottle with enthusiasm, so that the potion could fully penetrate, and said with a smile, "I hate spending unnecessary money. What the believers donate is what should be spent. For the people. And spending this money will make my conscience uneasy." After that, Palatine walked over leisurely and poured the ruby-like wine into the prepared bottle. Seeing the greedy look on the faces of the five people sitting around, he smiled even more happily.
Now, these soldiers don't care what Paladin says. Seeing that Paladin finished pouring the wine, he immediately picked up the wine glass and drank it! "Wow, I really miss this taste. You can't drink in the army. We haven't had a drink for a while." The man on the left with a scar on his face said happily. The young man on the other side was obviously poor in drinking, and his face flushed red, licking his lips, and handing over the glass that had bottomed out, he looked at Paladin expectantly and said, "Father, give me another drink, I just drank it. It's too fast to taste anything."
"This kid, this is the savior! Be polite and don't want your life!" A man with a beard who was about to be middle-aged next to him immediately scolded. But this is only in exchange for Palatine's indifferent smile, pouring the wine into the wine glass. He said kindly: "Just drink it. This is given to me by the residents of **. I usually don't like drinking, and there are still many left." "Really? Then we are welcome!" , Several soldiers looked at each other, and immediately put the wine glasses on the table, it seems that their thirst for wine has been suppressed for a long time.
Paladin was full of words, and asked casually, "After this, what are your plans? Go back to Ai Xinzhe?" "I'm not going back! Go to the countryside to farm, marry another woman, and have children! It's much more comfortable than fighting." The young man with a beard on his face immediately spoke up. But the one who had a scar on his face immediately scolded, obviously this person was the leader of the five: "I have no ambition! I still want to make a contribution and go into battle to kill the enemy! Say bad luck, become a knight! Ha! Hehe, I am a nobleman!"
As soon as these words fell, the other four immediately mocked with disdain. The youngest, a little drunk, an older boy burped and recalled: "I'm not a soldier. But I want to go back to Ai Xinzhe. That's my homeland, and my parents and my two-year-old sister They're all waiting for me at home. The girl I met before, doesn't know she's married?" Suddenly, the lively atmosphere was extinguished by these words. These soldiers have family members, even wives and sons. Thinking of their family members far away on the other side of the plain, they all showed their memories and misses.
Paladin reckoned that the time was almost up. Suddenly, he snorted frivolously, and the kind face on his face suddenly disappeared! Looking at these five stunned soldiers with contempt, they raised their heads and filled the wine bottle in their hands. "He's dead, the priest is drunk?" Several soldiers still didn't know what was going on. Paladin gulped down the whole bottle and slammed the bottle on the table with a sarcastic smile on his face. Said: "Unfortunately, you will never see your family again. Garbage."
