Chapter 130: Archduke Francis' Gamble
Chapter 130: Grand Duke Francis’s Gambling
After stretching his big and stretching, Feng Kan stood up from the bed with sleepy eyes. Although it was only two or three hours, he could not sleep no matter how hard he was.
The mysterious black-haired young man who claimed to be the "inheritor" condensed in his heart like a cloud of fog, and the sentence "Nong Hao" echoed repeatedly in his heart like a strange spell.
Who is he? Why did he know the slang of his hometown? What abilities did he use when he was free from his control? The most important thing was - is he an enemy or a friend?
He once said that he was testing himself. Why did he test himself? Who asked him to test himself? What kind of secret is hidden under the face of Gu Jing Bubo? What kind of power is there behind that mysterious figure?
All of this is unknown, and the depressed mood makes people feel at a loss.
Feng Kan came to the window and shook his head vigorously, feeling as if he wanted to throw these troubles out of his head. Then he let out a long sigh and looked at the towering mountains outside the window.
"One two! One two! One two! One two! One two!..."
A team of young men in urban camouflage field uniforms ran neatly under his windowsill with yelling horns. The members of the Snake Eater's Snake Teeth Team were training. This kind of jogging around the castle was just a warm-up exercise for them. According to Sneke, when conditions permit, they had to carry 50 kilograms of equipment every day to carry 50 kilometers of armed cross-country.
These are just the most basic physical training, not to mention other practical skills training programs such as barehand fighting, shooting, obstacle-to-road, lurking, concealment, blasting, reconnaissance, disguise, eavesdropping, intelligence collection, short-range assault, etc., which makes you dizzy when you just listen.
Feng Kan stretched his waist comfortably while looking at these energetic Snake Tooth players with a gratifying look. A sense of pride that could not be expressed in words arises in his chest. This is a team that completely subverts the past traditions, a team that is destined to shock the whole world, and more importantly - this is his own team!
In the world of swords and magic, the appearance of these soldiers is obviously so out of place with the others around them wearing medieval steel armor and holding sharp sword spears, but their appearance will fundamentally subvert the entire world's combat mode.
However, his beautiful vision for the future was interrupted by the next scene that came into view. His hands were raised high and froze in the air, and his eyes were frozen at the end of the team. He saw an old man with gray hair and burly beards and burly figure following behind the young people, and jogging with them happily imitating the running posture of the snake-tooth team members...
——Grand Duke Francis!
Feng Kan's brain was a little numb, blinking his eyes... He read it right! The old man followed the Snake Tooth team member, walking with his big feet like an old hooligan, trying hard to imitate the young man in front of him!
Feng Kan opened his mouth blankly, and his neck was moving stiffly with the old guy who was happily following the team to entertain himself. At this time, Grand Duke Francis also found him, his big mouth showed a shiny white teeth, and waved at him...
Grand Duke Francis turned his head and stared at the soldiers running in front of him... How to say it? It was like a man Buxiu who saw a beautiful girl...
In the eyes of this old thing, these savvy soldiers are like a mineral vein in front of the gold digger, like a braised nine-winged wings in front of a gourmet, like the fragrant cheese in the eyes of a mouse, like the timid, pure and delicate woman in the eyes of a pervert...
Grand Duke Francis, who had fought for most of his life, had never seen such an elite soldier. Now he wished he could capture all these elite soldiers he had never seen in his life and put them in his pocket and flee back to his country.
With Grand Duke Francis's appearance of almost venting water, Feng Kan was speechless - does this old man know what his situation is now?
Everyone has something that can make him crazy and indulge in himself. Feng Kan is a "housekeeper" and cannot resist things in the two-dimensional world. By the same token, this is the thing that Grand Duke Francis is fascinated by. Walken is a military power, and his military power is second to none even in the Jamins Empire. Grand Duke Francis has been in contact with the army since he was sensible. In his castle treasure house, he still carefully preserves a small soldier doll carved from walnut. It was his favorite toy when he was young!
Seeing Grand Duke Francis twisting his butt and following the snake-tooth team members' backs, Feng Kan curled his lips and jumped out of the room more than ten meters after pressing the windowsill.
"I'm very happy?" The little trotted to Grand Duke Francis, and Feng Kan teased with a black thread.
"Yes! I've never been so happy!" Grand Duke Francis didn't care at all, and still maintained his weird butt-twisted running position and laughed happily, "I'm the first duke to step into Reston Castle, and no one of my predecessors can do this."
"That's because they came to Fort Reston for conquest and rule! The gate of Fort Reston never rejects friendly guests." Feng Kan stabbed Grand Duke Francis with no slight and no stern words, and this must be reminded.
"Is there anything wrong with conquest and rule?" Speaking of this, a shiny light flashed out of Grand Duke Francis's smiling eyes. Although it was only a moment, it made him seem to have suddenly changed. "It is natural for a person without power to be ruled by a strong man?"
Feng Kan was a little speechless. As a "home", he could not understand what "unable desire" is, and he could not understand why some people still had to continue to grab things that did not belong to him under the conditions of superior living.
In his opinion, such people are sick. If their thoughts are extreme, these people will not be qualified to live in this world.
"No!" Feng Kan frowned and shook his head. Although what Grand Duke Francis said seemed to make some sense at first glance, Feng Kan felt that it was incorrect from the bottom of his heart. "If you say so, then from more than a thousand years ago, this world should have been ruled by the demons, right?"
This time it was Grand Duke Francis' turn to be speechless. More than a thousand years ago, the Battle of Chaos had just ended. At that time, all the powerful races had exhausted all their power, and many legendary races also disappeared from the world at the same time. However, among the remaining surviving races, the demons had an overwhelmingly powerful advantage!
According to legend, the demons are actually descendants of the gods. With the power they have, it is easy to control the world if they want to rule other races. However, if they do so, they spontaneously exiled themselves to the deserted Demon King Islands in the vast ocean. Why did they do this? This matter is still a mystery.
This may be because of different levels, right?
Without getting the other party's response, Feng Kan, who was feeling strange, ran forward a few more steps before he found that Grand Duke Francis had stopped slowly at some point, and lowered his head and began to think.
"Some people always greedily plunder all kinds of things, wishing they could take the world in their hands, but will they be happy in this way? ** This kind of thing is never satisfied. If they don't control it, it will eat up people's hearts little by little, leaving only a hole that cannot be filled. No matter how much wealth you get, no matter how high the land you own, no matter how high the status you are, it will only make people become more and more empty until they are so empty that it makes people lose the courage to survive."
"Are you talking about me?" Grand Duke Francis raised his head, his eyes flashing.
"I'm not talking about anyone, I'm just narrating the facts." Feng Kan's voice and expression were completely cold, and his voice was faint, just like his usual chat, with a pragmatic tone. "I don't know what the grand duke thinks. Anyway, we don't want to be conquered by anyone, and we don't have the interest to conquer anyone."
"Is this really the case? Then why are you here? You are fighting so hard? What kind of reason is supporting you to fight?" Grand Duke Francis shook his head in confusion, "What a pity, with your strength, it is not too difficult to get any position."
"Well! This kind of thing is too troublesome, I don't like it! To be honest, if I can, I would rather stay in my warm little nest for the rest of my life. This is my attitude towards life. I will not think about who will rule and conquer whom. I just want to live the life I want to live. This is my happiness. But if anyone wants to deprive this little happiness from me, then I don't mind defending my dignity with my blood and life! This is the reason for my fight!" As he said that, he reached out to the backs of the snake-tooth team members who were running farther and farther ahead, "They are the same!"
Warriors with faith are far stronger than those who are simply driven by interests. The guys who fight for interests will never pay the price of their lives because of interests - without their lives, how can you enjoy the benefits?
"Do you know? The evil deeds of human beings will lead to their own destruction, arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony and ***. If human beings cannot control them and are controlled by them, then human beings can no longer be called human! That is just a wild beast, and it may not even be as good as a wild beast."
"Arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony and ***?" Grand Duke Francis smiled. "This is somewhat similar to the 'initial evil' advocated by the guys in the Supreme God."
"I know it's the same thing, who can't tell me?" Feng Kan curled his lips disdainfully. Didn't the "Seven Deadly Sins" also come up with the church? But if you look at the so-called clergy again, how many people really concentrate this teaching? There may be many ordinary priests among the people, but those so-called senior officials... well!
He is a vulgar man himself, but can he really sublimate if he wears a bright coat? I guess after stripping off the bright coat, he will be worse than anything else.
No wonder modern people have lost their faith and fallen into confusion. The support of faith is like this. What else can you believe?
"Can humans be saved by abandoning these things?" Grand Duke Francis smiled contemptuously. He had seen too many such examples, and these few words alone were not enough to change his mind.
"I didn't say abandon!" Feng Kan rolled his eyes, "I'm talking about control! As long as it's human, it's impossible to have these ***, and from some perspectives, they are also promoting the development of civilization. The key is how to control them!"
"Do you think you can control them?"
"Well!" Feng Kan stretched, "I didn't, at least I was lazy." He blinked at Grand Duke Frances mischievously, "and it's not smart enough."
"Oh? Is that true? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Grand Duke Francis laughed. Feng Kan's frankness surprised him, but he didn't hate this frank guy.
"Duke Duke!"
Andrei ran over from a distance panting. After Grand Duke Francis came, he had no need to stay in the small cell anymore. The big bull who only knew that he was rushing forward would never disobey Grand Duke Francis' orders. Grand Duke Francis would not cause any damage to Reston Castle now, so it would be better to be generous and give them enough freedom. Although there were many eyes staring at these two people in the dark, at least they had no restrictions on movement in Reston Castle.
"Dude! Why did you come to such a place? Go back and rest!" The human chariot shouted anxiously and bluntly as soon as it ran over, but he still did not forget to stare at Feng Kan beside the duke fiercely.
Grand Duke Francis glanced at Feng Kan meaningfully, and habitually twisted his hard beard in his hand. "I haven't laughed so happily for a long time. I'm looking forward to how far you can do. In return for seeing such an interesting thing, I can give you some reminders..."
"You mean that Walken will attack again soon, right?"
"!" Grand Duke Francis looked at Feng Kan with a more curious look, "So you already know."
"Nonsense!" Feng Kan rolled his eyes, "Although I'm not smart enough, I'm not a fool! You are willing to come with me to Reston Castle so honestly, so it's not that it's as simple as accepting defeat. Are you not using me?"
"Haha, aren't you using me too?"
"Well! I won't discuss this issue, just be sure to know it!"
"Since you are ready, I won't say much." Grand Duke Francis nodded and turned around to leave.
"Aren't you worried?" But Feng Kan asked at this time.
"What are you worried about?" Grand Duke Francis asked with a smile.
"Well! You originally wanted to use the fact that you left the barracks to make some guys jump out, and at the same time you could avoid the responsibility of being unfavorable in combat - in fact, you have already agreed that we both sides have entered a confrontation, right?"
"It's true! You're right!" Grand Duke Francis nodded frankly and admitted it simply. Andre, who had heard this for the first time behind him, widened his eyes in surprise.
"The responsibility for defeat will be borne by those who jump out. At the same time, under the continuous failures, the two sides will no longer have large-scale conflicts and enter the confrontation we hope. In this way, you can not only preserve your reputation but also eliminate the unstable factors in your army. This is the real reason why you followed me to Fort Reston so happily, I was right?"
"Yes! That's right!" Grand Duke Francis had no intention of hiding such a thing, and he was not worried about his safety at all. Now the Kingdom of St. Ostan is seeking opportunities to cooperate with him. As the party with the initiative, even if he is only alone, St. Ostan will never let him lose a hair.
"But have you ever thought about it?" Feng Kan smiled cunningly, "What if Fort Reston could not resist the subsequent offensive and collapsed? No one in the chaos army is absolutely safe, right?"
It can be predicted that when Walken launches another attack, the leading figure will never miss this excellent opportunity to get rid of Grand Duke Francis. How can you have the eggs in your entire nest? By that time, I guess the Duchy of Walken will probably have another master?
"You said this is what I need to worry about?"
"If it's not this, what else can it be?" Grand Duke Francis' disdainful attitude was a little beyond Feng Kan's expectations.
"I should have said it?" This time it was Grand Duke Francis' turn to laugh cunningly, "Isn't life just a bet?"
"...Damn! I'm convinced you!" Feng Kan gave his thumbs up and was impressed. This Grand Duke Francis had become addicted to betting on his life!
"and……"
"and?"
"And if you can't even deal with this kind of attack, then our future cooperation will be impossible. The gambling has begun since I was taken out of the military camp by you, and it has not ended yet!" Grand Duke Francis turned around and was walked forward towards Feng Kan. The steps of the tiger-squatting and dragon-slanting showed his determination.
"Since you want to bet, you might as well bet bigger! Win! Just win him and get it! Lose! You have to lose completely!"
Looking at the burly back of Grand Duke Francis, Feng Kan couldn't speak for a long time, "...I'm a sun! What a bad gambling guy!"
