The sun is high

The Baron has a bad temper, the Baron is suspicious, and the Baron has a mysophobia when it comes to contact with others...

Such strange messages have long been the consensus of the members of the "Sharp-Beaked Owl" Shooting Battalion, especially the officers among them, these private soldier leaders who were recruited by Fei Orlando and have been following him for nearly ten years. They have long become the close confidants of the Baron. No joke, they would even participate for free in some of the "ridiculous activities" of Fei Orlando in the early years. This is a special situation in some remote towns in St. Steele. It even became a well-known "good story" in the venue.

Xiuge didn't know why he was always involved in such strange affairs, as if these contents had already been written in the so-called destiny script.

As far as he knew, until now, even though the name of Schug Ernst had been associated with the so-called hero and legend, among the people, people still preferred to talk about his past works and so-called "romantic past events". ".

Despite the fact that this poor baron had no spare money to go to any romantic places in the past, those who could prove his pure purpose have now completely passed away with the city of Salem.

Thinking about this kind of thing carefully, it still makes Xiuge feel a little sad, but then he thought, if this can make the tragic city that was once forgotten by people be remembered for a long time, then he will not care about others. How on earth do you "use" your own name?

Even if it is used as a joke and a source of conversation, he is completely able to accept it.

However, even if Shuge is "well-informed" and has far more patience and acceptance than ordinary people, he will still be shocked when he glimpses the shocking "gameplay" in Baron Orlando's memory.

Perhaps it was because the baron's past life was too depressing, or perhaps the process of joining the Black Sun Society and changing his beliefs seriously affected his mind. In short, some of Ferlando's hobbies and habits can even make Shuge feel... Extreme discomfort.

"How could anyone satisfy their desires through such a process?"

Shuge was disgusted and confused by this.

What made him even more nauseous was that the group of private military officers who had been following Fei Orlando for a long time seemed to have developed some similar hobbies - they were very, very keen on inflicting painful and vicious punishments on those The poor "Nightingales" use this to satisfy themselves, and the price of this is often blood, disability or even death.

After using "association matters are important" as a reasonable excuse to reject a bad invitation privately initiated by an officer, Shuge felt a strong sense of disgust for the face he was currently wearing. If he had known that Fei Orlando was like this Hobby, he should have used Charron's Touch to pierce this guy from all angles and let himself enjoy these terrible punishments!

Similar to the vast majority of mercenaries and private soldiers in Van En, the "Sharp-nosed Owl" shooter battalion is actually a group of bullies and robbers wearing so-called military uniforms. Although they obey the orders of their commanders, they usually do not Many behaviors are extremely indulgent.

In just a few days, they caused a lot of trouble in and around the Yanhu Mine, including but not limited to fighting with the soldiers in the mine and trying to transport two trucks of illicit liquor. Mines and soliciting prostitutes.

Some of them will even try to harass the new servants that the baron has just "bought". Even if both parties are men, they will still attack, and their attitude is so serious that it is scary.

Of course, this kind of behavior will not end well at all. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, dozens of soldiers like them may not be the opponent of a magic agent, not to mention that Shuge has been wary of these things for a long time. Relying on the cover of the Destiny Roots, these harassers would often have their memories wiped away after receiving a good beating, which caused a great headache for the healing mages and alchemists in the Archer Camp.

They really don't understand why so many idiots have come out these days and seriously injured themselves while working. Are these guys so useless that they can't even do simple tasks like shoveling soil, moving rocks, and building fortifications? to the point?

Of course, the harsh baron could not be merciful to the idiots in the army and the lazy men who tried to avoid work by being injured, so Shuge seized the opportunity and captured these guys who had just been seriously injured by the spies from the wounded barracks. They came out and gave them another severe beating in front of everyone.

Not only were they beaten, but they were beaten twice. After being cured, they were thrown directly into the camp to work. This was the punishment Xiuge inflicted on these "sharp-billed owls".

Their companions had no objections to this at all. They could only rejoice in their misfortune. After all, this was indeed what Baron Ferlando would do. It had happened countless times before, and they did not expect that it would happen again now. Someone uses such a stupid way to be lazy.

Of course, Xiuge did not act recklessly based on his current status.

Although the Baron's past made him feel very disgusted, in a short period of time, he did not intend to give up such an important identity that had gained the trust of the Black Sun Society, so he also appropriately gave some benefits and conveniences to the "Sharp-nosed Owls" .

Moonshine, food, money…

He gave such rewards very generously, especially to those officers who could command these private soldiers. They naturally received most of the rewards.

While lamenting the baron's generosity, these officers were also very dissatisfied with the "rebel" who destroyed the Rock Lake Mine before. It was precisely because of this guy that they now have money and nowhere to spend it. After all, now Spies and infiltrators are being pursued everywhere. Even wild dogs walking by the road will be caught and interrogated by the association, not to mention those nightingales. They can't even leave their homes, let alone come to the mine to "service" .

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

With the accumulation of a large amount of manpower, the camp of Yanhu Mine finally changed its appearance. It now finally looks like an army garrison, with various defense facilities in place, and even several new types of crystal cannons. They were all sent from the Black Sun Society to help their "loyal believers" rebuild their strongholds.

At the same time, miners' replenishment work is also continuing.

With the help of the mysterious ritual mastered by the baron, many refugees scattered around were forcibly "recruited". These people were ruthlessly included in the ranks of miners, and surprisingly, among them There are quite a number of people who have worked in mines in the past.

Not only that, the Baron was "lucky" to find a qualified mine supervisor, a stooped and thin old man who was very experienced in managing miners and mines. With his help, Yanhu Mine Operations were resumed at an extremely fast speed, and although production dropped, it was at least able to meet the output indicators under the pre-war environment.

Of course, and more importantly, with the help of this new supervisor, the "sharp-billed owls" can finally start to move around the mine. Staying near the mine all day, they all feel like they are about to become miners. .

In the process, the officers of the "Sharp-Beaked Owl" also welcomed a new companion.

That was the young officer who survived the original mine.

The baron admired him quite a lot, and with a wave of his hand, he got rid of his original fate and successfully entered the ranks of his own private soldiers. Someone with a discerning eye pointed out that the baron definitely wanted to train this young officer to become his capable general - —It was a very clear sign that he always left the barracks and went to the baron to receive personal orders.

Fortunately, this young man is obviously very "sensible". He is humble and generous. He is willing to share some of the benefits and important information he has gained directly with everyone. He even helps everyone escape by relying on the Baron's trust in him. Punished several times.

"Quick, go help everyone and ask the Baron what he thinks and whether this matter can be done?"

In just a few days, the officers had become accustomed to treating their new companions in this way. They hoped that the other party could stay with the baron for a while and bring back more important news.

"Why, are they already used to asking you to ask questions?"

"I think so."

The young officer raised his head. He looked at the face of Baron Ferlando in front of him, but his eyes shone with strong admiration.

Just the day before he joined the "Sharp-nosed Owl", this mysterious "Baron" finally showed his true face to him, and when he heard the name "Shog Ernst" and personally received it from him, When he passed the strange metal badge, his body couldn't help but tremble.

Yes.

He has long heard about the deeds of Shuge Ernst, Salem City and the Dawn Society.

The only thing that supported him and kept him from surrendering to the Black Sun Society was his love for his motherland and his firm belief in the fire of life. It was these two things that made this young man believe , there are still quite a few people in Van En who can continue to fight against that terrible association and the terrifying gods behind it by relying on their own abilities.

But now, these fantasies have actually come to him.

That kind of excitement ignited all the enthusiasm in his body in an instant, and he felt like he had turned into a burning torch. Every drop of blood, every inch of bone, and every breath contained endless hope and possibility.

At night, he had rubbed the badge countless times. It was magical. Different shapes could always appear at different angles and under different lights, but everything in the badge could always be revealed. form a perfect whole.

Yes, that's how they should be, supporting each other and helping each other...

It's a pity, it's a pity that he can't wear it yet. As a new member of the Dawn Society and a direct participant in this important plan, he must remain patient and carry out every task in place.

"Don't look at me like this. You have to act calmer and calmer."

Xiuge felt the emotional fluctuations of the young man in front of him, so he raised his hand and gently patted the other person's shoulder twice: "You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself, you just need to follow our previous plan, and This group of private soldiers and officers become a whole... It doesn't matter how you do it in private, but in front of them, you not only have to show your fear and distrust of me, but you even need to curse the name 'Fei Orlando' with them."

"I will take the initiative to lean on your shoulders for some work and tasks in the mine. You can also take the initiative to complete it. In short, you need to cover other people as much as possible and not let those guys become suspicious of the current situation. If you If you feel something is not right among them, you can tell me in advance."

After the young officer wrote down all these things, Shuge picked up a magic letter from the table nearby. He said: "Theoretically, we are safe now, but this is only theoretical after all. I am very worried. The Black Sun Society may use some strange methods to arrange its own informants within various armies, so we need to be transparent enough on some matters."

"This is a notice requesting all members of the association to go to Watch City in three days to attend the association's rally... reveal to those guys that I am preparing to go to Watch City, and remind them to compile reports on the number of people and weapons in the shooter camp, Just say that I will take this report to the association and ask for support."

"I see."

The officer nodded seriously, but then he looked at Shuge worriedly: "But... sir, are you really planning to attend the association's rally? That may be very dangerous."

"Well, of course, it is a gathering of the Black Sun Society after all. They will not invite their members to have dinner together without any trouble."

Shuge squinted his eyes and smiled. This action combined with the face of Baron Ferlando made him look particularly sinister. Then the officer heard him say: "But there is nothing to worry about. After all, it is not the first time for me to join them." gathering... maybe this time, I can see some of my old 'old friends', and I don't know if his eyes have been cured?"

When he said these words, there was a bit of joking in Xiuge's voice, but these words seemed particularly shocking to the officers.

His intuition told him that if the Black Sun Society successfully allowed such a person to sneak into its ranks, it would most likely have a great impact on the entire society and even the current Saint Steele Kingdom. In addition, Those external coalition forces that are accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity...

"Perhaps Mr. Ernst is really the messenger sent by the God of Life and the Goddess Mel to redeem Van En? Could it be that... could they really save my motherland from the hands of those villains? ?”

In this gloomy and hopeless country, his heart is full of longing.
