Section 635: Some Commitments (3)
"Did you see it, my old friend?" When leaving the barracks, Thomas Six-Tyre, the old friend of Old Hagerbery, walked up to him and muttered.
Old Hagerbery glanced at his old friend: "What kind of opinions do you want to express?"
It’s not that the old man is sarcastic, but that this old friend sometimes speaks completely without thinking. Just like a few days ago, he came to the barracks on behalf of the king. When he went back to the aristocratic meeting the next day, the guy blurted out a sentence - the army seemed to be as obedient as Lord Marin's arm.
At the aristocratic conference that day, half of the aristocratic groups were excited, and half of the aristocratic people were desperately trying to wipe their ass about the stupid words Thomas said.
Fortunately, His Majesty Mannheim has always believed in His Excellency Marin. Although His Excellency Marin has not taught Prince Sauron much, he personally ignited the psychic fire for the child and prepared a complete set of potions for him. The prince's psychic instructor had to admit that if His Excellency Marin made these preparations, it would take at least one or two years to make the prince ignite his psychic energy.
And time is the most precious wealth in the world.
It is precisely because His Majesty Mannheim believed in His Excellency Marin that everything Thomas did that day would not turn into a farce, but also the kindness and generosity of His Excellency Marin, that this idiot had the opportunity to stand in front of Old Hagerbet today.
That's why Old Hagerbery was very eager to warn this fool with his own eyes - this place is only a single arrow from the gate of the military camp. If a soldier with good ears hears his words, the next second he may not necessarily have a bullet rolled through Thomas' head.
Old Hagerbery is sure that the soldiers who regard Marin as the only Grand Marshal will do this.
Old friend, don’t do stupid things for the sake of anything.
"Those soldiers are like the mechanical bodies in the black area! You see, they almost had the same movements when they stood up. I have never seen such soldiers. In the past, I thought that the noble private soldiers were already strong soldiers, but now it seems that they are like clowns." Thomas said loudly what he said in his heart.
This time it's quite normal, you guy.
Old Hagerbery nodded while breathing a sigh of relief: "Yes, orders are prohibited. Your Excellency Marin is indeed a natural master who can lead troops to fight. This can be seen from the first time he led his troops to defeat those black orcs.
To be honest, the strength shown by Marin is the reason why he marries his granddaughter with a real God-Choose champion, a commander who defeated the Black Orc for the first time, a lord in the actual sense of Carter Fort, a master of a giant group, or a prince and duke... These are all just titles, and legends are the most precious wealth of this child.
Among the nobles who were on the carriage, some were laughing, and some were lamenting the good luck of Old Hagerbery. Old Hagerbery always agreed with a smile. Envy and jealousy would not make Old Hagerbery change his image as a good man.
After all, Your Majesty has no daughter of the right age, and as long as this has never changed, Old Hagerbery doesn't have to worry about anything.
Other Dukes? Haha, it seems like Hagerbery is afraid. If you have the ability, you can marry your granddaughter to Marin.
With satisfaction and pride, Old Hagelberg walked towards his carriage.
"Hi, old friend." Thomas ran over.
"So what's wrong, Thomas." Old Hagelberry was a little confused.
"I told you last time that I also want to take the carriage given to you by Lord Marin, you forgot." The halfling said excitedly looking at his old friend.
Old Hagerbery slapped his head: "That's right, okay, my carriage is yours today."
Although Thomas is not smart enough to speak, Old Hagerberry still likes him very much - after all, every time Old Hagerberry swears in parliament, Thomas always brings his friends to Old Hagerberry's team.
These days, halflings are much more reliable than humans.
"Thank you!" Tomar climbed onto the old Hagerbery's carriage, and looked very envious of the luxurious decoration inside.
Old Hagerberry smiled and walked towards his old friend's carriage - fortunately it was also the same as a human, otherwise Old Hagerberry would have to sit on the roof of the carriage today.

Marin watched the convoy of the king and the nobles sailing on the sentry tower.
"Your Excellency, do you really believe them?" Rhodes stood beside Marin. The young man's question made Marin smile. He turned his head to look at his subordinates: "Do you think I believe them?"
"I think you seem willing to believe them." Rhodes looked at the convoy: "His Excellency Mendel is dead. We have not been able to catch the murderer yet. Although you say that the nobles are not like murderers, I really can't believe these guys. I still remember the days when we ate black bread. If it weren't for you, we would still be afraid that we would still eat black bread with stones and sand."
Speaking of this, the young man sighed: "If we had no help from you, we could only face such a desperate life and die in an unknown battlefield. Your Excellency, you are our savior, why don't you become a member of the Council? Although Mrs. Lulu is also an old member, my cousin and I both think that you are the real Northernists. Although Mrs. Lulu also believes in ideology,...I don't think she is like the kind of person who is willing to show her strict side. We will have a battle with the nobles."
"There are also people among the nobles who think like you, Rhodes, I am helping you." Marin said.
Northernism is still too weak, and they are far from enough. Marin can only comfort Rhodes: "Your strength is not enough. Remember, people must survive first to survive and avenge Mendel. The nobles do not seem to be lying in this matter."
"...Yes, you are not wrong. In this matter, both me and Cousin Sudel said so." The young man sighed as he said.
Then he insisted and said, "I must avenge His Excellency Mendel until death."
Marin patted the young man on the shoulder with great understanding, and then the two of them heard a gunshot at the same time.
Very long.
"Where are you firing the gun!" Rhodes looked in the direction where the carriage left.
"I don't know." said the soldier who was resting downstairs.
Marin had already jumped off the sentry: "The Guards came out of the camp!" He shouted loudly: "The direction of the convoy!"
These assassins! These conspirators! Are they crazy?
……………………
When Marin arrived at the convoy, the convoy had already fallen to the ground. Although the situation seemed to be critical, judging from the separation of the carriage and the horses, the coachmen of the convoy unbuttoned the locks between the carriage and the horses as soon as possible. The convoy was running in chaos, and no assassin could cause trouble.
So they stopped the car, and after they got out, the nobles pushed down the carriage and used the thick bottom of the car as a cover, so that they only had to be responsible for being vigilant against the other side.
Marin ran to Old Hagerberry's car and saw the safe old man. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down next to Old Hagerberry: "It's great to see you, Old Hagerberry."
Then he found that the old man was not on the carriage he gave him.
"Your Majesty is fine. The assassin shot into the center of the convoy." Old Hagerbery said this and looked at the front of the convoy and shouted: "Who was shot!"
Then there was an extremely fast call-up session, and the terrified nobles still had some tremolo when registering.
It’s not their fault. Mortals will always be short of breath when facing such murders.
"Thomas didn't reply! Thomas!" Old Hagelberry shouted loudly.
Then after a while, a brand new message came from the front: "Old Hagerbery! Thomas didn't jump out of your car!"
Marin held Old Hagerbery and signaled that he would go over and take a look at the situation.
With his head down, he quickly ran to the back of the carriage he gave to Old Hagerbery. Marin reached out and pulled the bottom of the carriage, dragging out a hapless half-ling who was shot in the head from it.
Poor Thomas Six-Toe used up his luck this time, the bullet drilled into the right side of his head and finally tore his left chin. I don’t know where the bullet flew, but judging from the entrance and exit, it should be an armor-piercing bullet.
After all, if you use a soft-headed bullet, it is impossible for the bullet to penetrate the entire skull after flying for a long distance.
Thinking of this, Marin took out a mirror from his pocket and looked at the city on their right. The height of the old buildings that could still be used was not good. Marin raised the angle a little and saw the bell tower in the distance.
At least 470 yards, although it is a little farther away, even the sharpshooters under Marlin are very relaxed to score 500 yards.
So this doesn't mean anything. The sharpshooter is not Marin's patent. No matter it is an organization or an assassin, as long as you have enough talent, guns in place, and enough bullets as training materials, you can train a sharpshooter who can hit every shot.
Turning around, he made tactical gestures with the guards squatting behind the three-story building in the rear. The political commissar on duty immediately divided into two teams with the company commander to start circumventing the bell tower - although the murderer is likely to have retreated, he should have controlled the bell tower no matter what.
After waiting for a while, Marin retreated to Old Hagerbery: "Thomas is dead."
"He's dead... Damn assassin, he's coming for me!" Old Hagerbery's face was very wonderful.
"How could you change the car with Thomas?" Marin was really scared to the truth. That's right. If Old Hagerbery hadn't changed the car with Thomas, the one who died this time would definitely be Old Hagerbery.
"Thomas said he wanted to try the good carriage you gave me, so I changed the carriage with him, and we all used curtains." Old Hagerbery said in a deep voice as he looked at his grandson-in-law.
Marin thought about the shot point of the halfling: "The bullet drills into the right side of his head, and then drills out from the chin on the other side. If you hit you, it should enter from the right rib. The bullet may hit your arm and cause a more serious roll after entering your chest. It will most likely destroy your heart. This is for you, old man."
Speaking of this, Marin already understood the murderer's mind: "The murderer killed Mendel, but it did not cause too much conflict. He knew it was too difficult to kill me, so he was ready to kill you."
The whole songberon Hagen knew the special thing about the carriage that Marin gave to Old Hagerberry. The assassins didn't even need to know the ranking of the convoy, they just had to shoot at Old Hagerberry's carriage.
When Marin thought of this, he looked at His Majesty Mannheim who was coming over: "Your Majesty, it's too dangerous."
"Where can kill me kill Old Hagerbery more anger you. Besides, if I die, everyone will only shout long live the king." His Majesty Mannheim said a cold joke while looking at Old Hagerbery: "If you don't have Thomas this time, you will be dead, Old Hagerbery."
"Yes, if it weren't for him, I should have died. Your Majesty, do you know that I still owe my old friend a life in the end." Old Hagerbery said leaning against the bottom of the carriage. When the old man said this, he took a cigarette box from Marin and ordered one for himself.
After a while, news came from Marin that the guards could not find the murderer. He seemed to have evaporated from the world. Only the footprints on the clock tower and some erased dust proved that someone had appeared on the top of the clock tower.
After thinking about it, Marin and Mannheim still did not lift the alert. Maybe the murderer had moved to another shooting position and was waiting for them to relax their guard.
So Marin finally dug a deep trench for everyone using technique so that they could leave the river bank through this trench - it was too open here.
After they left, the Assassin thought there was not enough shooting world to support his second assassination.
After evacuating the scene, Marin asked you to return to the military camp simply - before the armored carriage arrived, all the fine and tender nobles should not use their heads to compete with the bullets.
"I will give Thomas' family a compensation. As for the murderers, I must catch them." Old Hagerbery said.
"Yes, we must make this murderer pay the price. I suspect that the one who killed you this time was the same group of people as the one who killed Mendel the last time." Marin felt that this time he must forget all the new and old hatreds.
Old Hagerbery frowned and then affirmed Marin's point of view: "I feel this way, too, but it's really weird why they killed Mendel and why they want to anger you."
"To be honest, you and Mendel have nothing in common at all. Old Hagerbery, except that he almost married one of your daughters." Marin was also very strange. If the assassination of Mendel did not achieve the purpose of assassination, then was the assassination of Old Hagerbery really angered Marin?
While thinking this, the royal guard captain came back with a strange expression. He was the one who went to the bell tower with Marin's guard team.
He brought back a small thing.
It was a small badge with gears, wheat ears, books and two tightly clasped hands.
"A despicable little trick." Mannheim took the badge and threw it at Old Hagerbery.
The old man took it and smiled: "When I killed Mendel, why couldn't I leave a noble silver button on the scene? Such acting skills are too clumsy, what do you think, Marin."
"It's a disgusting performance, but at least we can understand what the assassin wants to do."
After Marin finished speaking, he took the badge thrown by Old Hagerbery: "I will take it to ask the people of Northernism, and they say that these badges have special marks and that each member will not repeat them, and I will investigate them clearly."
"Please, Marin." Old Hagerbery nodded: "Although we aristocrats and Northernism are born opponents, they are just opponents. Compared to Chaos, they are at least humans, aren't they? I wouldn't believe that all this is what they did."
Mannheim simply handed his scepter to Marin: "You can deal with this matter, Marin, find the murderer, and hang them all, but I won't mind their life and death."
"I will." Marin nodded.
Chapter completed!
