Chapter 41 Past Events

"Master, I'm here. They're here to kill you!" Mimilu answered nervously.

"They? What they."

"Master, I heard what they said! They know who you are, and they are coming to kill you!" Mimilu said anxiously.

"Tell me first, who are 'they'?"

"I don't know who they are... I stayed in that place...the place called the Great Temple of Man. Because there are few people there, and the place is very large, with many plants and gardens, I went there to burn the sun when I had time. Then I heard someone saying your name. I listened very carefully, and heard that they planned to send troops to attack you... Later, many troops in the city drove away, so I followed. I was looking for you everywhere, but fortunately I finally found you!"

"Army?" Oren City learned of his true identity, which is within expectations. To be honest, since Perrin escaped, Asu Ruffatt knew that it would not be hidden for too long. But Oren City would send troops to the city. No, it should not be unexpected! Oren City has a strong army, and it is an active approach to take the initiative to eliminate the threat!

“Yes, a lot of people… a lot of people…”

"How many?" Ashu Rufate asked patiently. Half of the Beasts may have developed quite high civilizations in the past because they have a good concept of numbers.

"There are... 30,000! Yes! They have 30,000 people! I remember mentioning it when I was talking that day! They said there were 40,000 people in total, and 10,000 of them were left, so the ones who came out to attack you were 30,000."

"Thirty thousand!" Ashurufate carefully estimated. It was almost the same. With an army of this size, plus the coalition forces of Shem and Tulan, it was enough for them to make up their minds to come to a war and completely solve the Greenskin problem - kill him by the way.

It is really a lucky thing to have Mimilu. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for Ash Rufate to discover such a military mobilization protected by heavy rain. Maybe it was time to go to the battlefield to realize that the enemy was so large. But now... a smile appeared on the corner of Ash Rufate's mouth.

"Mimilu, I'm afraid I'm going to take back what I said before. It seems that my battle has not been finished yet... would you like to continue to be my scout?" He asked, touching Mimilu's head.

"Mimilu is very happy." Mimilu replied happily.

...

It was already dusk, and it was the leisure time after dinner. The sound of rain outside the window gradually became thinner, but the dark clouds in the sky were still heavy, covering the entire sky. People with clear minds would understand that the light rain would not last long, and the heavy rain would just turn around and leave temporarily, and may visit again in a more violent manner at any time.

The meeting hall of the castle was full. All the senior military figures were already in place. Even Med, who was far away from home, came - his fat body occupied the space of the two people, and his fat buttocks ravaged the chair under his butt and kept moaning.

The host of the meeting, that is, the actual commander of the army, the Queen Mother appeared in the venue.

"Everyone, let me first introduce it. This is Sir Kemo, the leader of the Sacred Knights. He has brought a few important news." The Queen Mother pointed at a tall knight beside her with her hand.

More than one person in the crowd whispered, but it did not cause any serious chaos in the end.

"The first news I brought was bad news." Kemer did not beat around the bush, but went straight to the topic. "Sir Perrin's action failed. All the Holy Knights involved in the action were killed in battle, and only Perrin survived by chance."

This bad news did not have a big impact. Because after all, so long has passed, and anyone with a little judgment knows that Perrin's actions are in danger.

"Everyone, I will announce another thing: His Highness the Queen Mother is willing to accept Oren's help, and we will fight side by side to fight against the green-skinned orcs. Due to her trust in the Holy Knights, she is willing to temporarily entrust the Supreme Command to the Xia."

This sentence caused a considerable commotion among the people sitting around. People looked at the Queen Mother, who agreed to Ke Mo's words. Because everyone was quite surprised, almost no one noticed that Mede, the supreme commander of the Tulan reinforcements, was staring at Ke Mo with a ferocious look on his fat face.

Komer didn't notice Med, because there were too many people participating in the meeting, and he could not have noticed them all. He began to deliver a gorgeous speech, repeatedly emphasizing the selflessness of the Holy Knights and the Church, and the need for everyone to face the crisis together. Of course, there are all exciting promises such as "we will eventually win" that must be mentioned in such speeches.

After this speech, the Queen Mother began to introduce everyone present one by one with Ke Mo. She came over in a circle and it was time to introduce Mede.

Med's expression was not normal at this moment, but at this moment, there were actually more than one person who clearly expressed doubts and anxiety on his face, so Ke Mo didn't care too much. After introducing Med's identity, Ke Mo made a handshake as politely as others, but when he wanted to shrink his hand, he found that Med was tightly holding his hand and refused to let go.

Although this accident did not make Ke Mo lose his composure, it was enough to change his expression.

"I don't know if Captain Kemo still remembers my face." Maid asked.

"If we are not wrong, this should be our first meeting," Ke Mo replied.

"It's indeed our first meeting, but Captain Kemo should remember my face." Maid replied, covering up all the emotional fluctuations in his heart with a blank expression. "Because my family always says that I look very similar to my elder brother."

This sentence made Ke Mo stunned and unconsciously looked at Mede's fat face. It must be noted that it is not common for fat faces like Mede. Ke Mo looked at it more and more familiar, but he still couldn't remember where he had seen this face, and just pondered there without saying a word.

"It seems that Lord Kemo is a noble man who forgets things," Maide said politely, but everyone present could feel his hostility. "You may remember that during the expedition to Kalean, as the coalition vanguard... the one who commanded the advance troops was my elder brother."

Ke Mo finally remembered it. It was the guy who was stubborn and self-righteous in the end that he was wiped out! Med was right, the two brothers were indeed very similar - in fact, they were simply comparable to twins.

"It's really a pity that your elder brother... is very brave in combat, but unfortunately he was killed by the vampire..."

Med's hand clenched tightly before he shook it away.

Trouble guy! Ke Mo gave this fat man a comment in his heart. After he retreated alone that day, it should have caused a lot of controversy. Although he successfully completed the mission in the church and made great contributions, there must be a lot of bad comments among the Tulan people. The main force was wiped out, while one of the sacred knights feared the enemy and avoided the battle and escaped alone... This result was inevitable that the Tulan people would be hostile or discriminated against.

However, even if you are unhappy, you cannot express it. The Tulan people have more than 10,000 cavalrymen, which is a very valuable force in the future war. At present, they can only try their best to comfort the fat man.

Ke Mo smiled with a kind expression as good as possible, and then led by the Queen Mother to the next person. He did not notice Maiden staring at his back, the look of his eyes had exceeded the scope of disgust, but hatred.

After the meeting, Med returned directly to his own room in the castle next door. Since these castles were designed and built with the first goal of "livability", the overall room was arranged very reasonably and the inside was quite exquisite, which shows that the builders were ingenious. If it weren't for the fierce battles at this time, this place would be a good place for vacation and entertainment.

Med sat down in the chair in the room. After he stayed anxious for a few minutes, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Med shouted impatiently, but it was not someone else who came in, but his old servant.

"Young Master... you seem to be... having something to worry about?"

"Uncle, I'm just looking for you. You can sit first." Maide pointed to the chair. This old servant was a loyal subordinate who has taken care of his brother since childhood. In his heart, he can be regarded as a family member. "Uncle" is his honorific title.

"Can you say again, my elder brother's last moment?" He said politely after the old servant sat down.

"Young Master, that... the eldest master..."

"I want to listen again." If you observe carefully, you will find that fine beads of sweat are oozing from Maide's fat face, and this is not the sweat that flows out from the hot weather, but the intense feelings in your heart.

"...I remember that day, the weather was extremely hot..." The old servant began to tell this story that had been told many times. "...The eldest young master encountered the main force of vampires in the desert... At that time, gunfire, cannons, and shouts of killing shocked the entire desert... Your elder brother calmly commanded the battle, and I was not far away from him. I remember looking at that time, there was no sand in the desert ahead, all of them were zombies. Their number far exceeded our army and was not afraid of death. Even I could see that the front line ahead was in danger... Your elder brother worked hard to dispatch troops and fight with all his might..."

"But at this time, Kalyan's Blood Knights suddenly appeared on the flank... At that time, the vampires broke through the blockade of the light cavalry in a blink of an eye. In the moment of crisis, your elder brother ordered the Holy Knights who had not been on the battlefield to attack. If the Holy Knights obeyed the order and attacked in time, even if they could not defeat the vampires, they could at least delay for a while and let the musketeers organize the formation. This would give the vampires a headache."

"But Captain Kemo of the Holy Knights had had a dispute with your elder brother before. This was just a small dispute with different opinions between the two sides, and it was natural for the subordinates to obey the superiors, but Kemo held a grudge and conspired to revenge. Seeing that the battle was not good, when your elder brother was fully prepared to fight the vampire and had no time to take care of him, he quietly fled with the magicians, and even captured the commanders who conveyed the orders, so as not to let your elder brother notice his betrayal in time."

"While your elder brother was waiting for the Holy Knights in vain, the vampires had broken through the army and defeated the musketeers. The betrayal of the Holy Knights caught your elder brother off guard. By the time he found out, it was too late. Your elder brother made a noble choice and led the guards to make the final effort, but his guards had only one hundred people, and the number of blood knights was a hundred times higher than them. Your elder brother fought bravely, and finally outnumbered and was killed by the vampires. I should have been with him, but I was not a warrior, so I hid in a sand pit, covered myself with a cloak, and escaped..."

The old servant choked up as he spoke. "If it weren't for the betrayal of the Holy Knight, your elder brother would never..."
