Chapter 182 The turning point of the war
Stanley fell into a coma, and his symptoms were very similar to a heart attack.
In Manda's impression, Stanley does not seem to have a similar disease. Could it be that the owner of the monster attacked him?
Unexpectedly, the other party had such a method, and staying here for a second longer is a death. Fortunately, Stanley's skills have not disappeared yet, and the zombies are still obedient. They took Stanley and the poet and returned with Manda the same route.
After running all night, everyone returned to the manor. At noon, Stanley finally woke up.
A serious misunderstanding occurred before. The reason why Stanley fainted was not because he was attacked by the owner, but because of the effect of a divine object.
There was a silver needle buried under the skin on his chest. This silver needle could sense the danger of Gasack and allow Stanley to experience Gasack's pain.
At the beginning, when Stanley just surrendered to Gasack, Gasack personally cut open Stanley's skin and sewed the silver needle in the purpose of keeping Stanley absolutely loyal. First, when Gasack is in danger, Stanley can sense it as soon as possible and start rescue immediately. Second, if Stanley betrays Gasack, Gasack can use the silver needle to kill Stanley.
In Manda's opinion, this was not a good idea. Geisak was attacked and Stanley suffered, which undoubtedly caused double damage to the enemy's attack.
But all lords were extremely wary of their retainers. In their opinion, the rebellion of retainers was more dangerous than the attacks of the enemy, and even the arrogant Count of Cowhounds could not be spared.
Stanley's body was much stronger than Gassack. He fainted from pain, proving that Gassack was likely to have suffered fatal injuries.
If it were Manda, he would have regarded this as a good opportunity to gain freedom. But Stanley was different. Although he was still weak, he did not hesitate at all. He left Tieshan Town that day and went to the north to rescue the Count.
He was not afraid of the threat of Silver Needle, he was only worried about the safety of Gaisak. This was the tragic thing about loyalty. Even if he gave his life, he might not be able to exchange for trust. It was often just wishful sacrifice.
When he learned that Stanley was not going back to Niujiao Town and there was not much money on him, Manda gave him five hundred gold coins. Stanley shook his head and said, "The problem I have to face cannot be solved by money."
"Don't be so arbitrary, money is often more effective than swords."
Stanley sighed and said, "I owe you more and more. I don't know how to pay back the bloodstone's debt."
"Let me think about it," said Mandamo for a moment, "when you have no way out, remember to come to me. As long as you are willing to follow me, even if the debt is paid back, I cannot let you continue to be a viscount, but I can still make you continue to be a knight."
Stanley was stunned: "Are you pity me?"
Manda smiled and said, "That's right."
Stanley took out a piece of parchment from his arms: "This is my method of making a spell. I didn't want to teach you, but I was afraid that you would have a sudden idea and use it on me. You are a man who dares to attack Pan Shen."
Manda said angrily: "You are spying on me again."
"Not to be an example," Stanley smiled and stepped onto the war horse. "Although I don't know who your natal god is, the method of making the talisman is similar. I wish me good luck, Lord Monchik."
As soon as Stanley left, Lord Pedros arrived. The old Lord ran away and was filled with snot and tears.
"Lord Monchik, I need your help, Viscount Sorens let Claudesse follow Stanley on his war."
Manda was stunned and turned to laugh and said, "Wish you good luck to Lord Baron."
The old Lord was shocked and said, "Mr. Monchik, how can you not save me? Claudesey can't walk now, and going to the battlefield is equivalent to dying!"
Manda frowned and said, "Mr. Pedros, do you have any misunderstandings about our relationship? Why should I save Baron Claudesey? Can you give me a suitable reason?"
"I pay! I can give you all the iron ore business." The old Lord was quite rational. As long as he had a price, he knew how to continue the business.
But this time he miscalculated, and Manda was not in a mood to do business: "This is not a matter of money. Sorens must send an army to fight. This is the order of Count Gessack. If Claudesey refuses to go, who can replace him? Is it you or me? Or can you tell the other two barons? Or do you want Sorens to lead his troops to fight himself?"
Seeing that Manda refused to help, the old Lord fell into despair again. Manda lost his patience. He reminded Pedros: "Instead of wasting time with me, it is better to discuss things on the battlefield with Baron Claudesey."
The old Lord shook his head and said, "I have never been to the battlefield."
"But the Baron has been on the battlefield, and more than once, he knows how to save his life. After all, he doesn't need to charge."
The old Lord left Manda's manor with disappointment, and Manda fell into deep thought alone.
Sorens asked Claudesey to lead his troops to the war, obviously not for him to make meritorious service, but most likely for him to die.
But Earl Gassack had an accident at this time. The two things happened together, which gave Manda a bad premonition, and the war might have a turning point.
If the God-Punisher starts to counterattack, what position will Sorens take?
His ideas were unpredictable, but if the Divine Punisher reoccupied Tieshan Town, he would inevitably launch crazy revenge. Although Salif was in his hands, it was still unknown whether he could save his life.
It’s time to make some plans for the future. You have to leave Tieshan Town if necessary, but where can you go?
Silva suddenly broke into the bedroom, interrupting Manda's thoughts.
"Master, it's snowing."
Manda was startled and quickly looked out the window, and the huge snowflakes fell silently.
It snowed again, and the snow came so frequently this winter. Manda immediately ordered all the staff to be on guard. Starting from the hillside, a guard post was set up every twenty steps to prevent monsters from attacking.
If the barbarian dragon dies, will there be new monsters? Or will the owner of the monster take action personally?
I was anxious until dusk, and the snow gradually stopped.
Cheers burst out from the manor, and a group of teenagers shouted: "God bless my king!"
Manda called Yudora and sent a command: "Tell everyone not to shout anymore and keep on guard!"
At night, there was not even a star in the gloomy sky. No one knew if it would snow again. Manda did not dare to close his eyes all night. He deeply understood the old Lord's original difficulties.
When it was dawn, Manda, whose eyes were black, called Bruto:
"How is Zieges' condition?"
Bruto shook his head and said, "You can barely walk, but you can't fight."
"Where is Og?"
“It’s hard to walk.”
"No one is available, but no one is available at this time!" Manda pounded the table hard. Just as he was irritated, he suddenly saw the Leo woman pushing the door and walking in.
"Do you want to go to the back mountain again? I can help you."
Looking at the bandages covered with the Leo, Manda shook her head and said, "Get a good rest, I have my own way."
"I know I can't fight yet, but there is someone who can do it, just spend some gold coins."
