Master Tongtian

Chapter 94 There is no absolute loyalty in the world, but there must be enough chips for betrayal (24)

Vobos is the eldest brother of Chabolais, his half-brother, and he is also the nominal first-in-line heir to Count Omicia.

Once the Great Moon Magician Sophia abdicates, he will be the next lord of Silver Moon Castle.

In addition, he is in charge of nearly half of the military power of Silver Moon Castle. It can be said that he is the second most powerful person in Silver Moon Castle.

He personally recruits people, which is a supreme honor for those being recruited.

But things are not that simple.

As soon as Fubos finished speaking, Rosen lowered his head slightly and scanned the people in the camp with only the corner of his eyes.

At the same time, he opened the adventure journal, got closer, and carefully observed everyone's performance.

Most people's faces were full of envy, and a few were in deep contemplation. However, the face of the mid-level mage Horus showed both deep contemplation and unconcealable jealousy.

Judging from the previous dialogue, he should be Fubos's confidant.

He is a mage, and Rosen is also a mage. They are the same kind of people. If they both serve Fubos, there will naturally be direct competition.

Obviously, if Rosen accepted the recruitment, he would most likely be targeted by Horus.

And the better his performance, the more he was valued by Vobos, and the more violent Horus' rebound was.

Of course, there is competition everywhere in this world, and Rosen may not lose to Horus.

Can you agree to that?

It's possible, but there's a big price to pay.

First of all, he is now a follower of Chabolais in name only, and switching to Fubosi midway is a betrayal.

Then his relationship with Chabolai would be over immediately.

Then, what would the Great Moon Sorcerer Sophia think of him?

Chabolais was raised by Sophia herself, and her relationship is much deeper than that of the count's son, Vobos. How would she view Rosen's betrayal?

And mentors.

Although the tutor could not understand Chabollet's bad habits, he was not disgusted with Chabollet, and even admired his frank temperament.

He betrayed Chabolais, what would his mentor think of him?

Therefore, even if he can still stay in Silver Moon Castle, he will never be able to get guidance from the Archmage in the future, and he may also be disliked by the mentor.

Even before Vobos took over as Count, he could not become an official mage.

Because to become an official mage, you must be recognized by the lord, and the current lord is still Sophia.

Therefore, switching to Fubosi is not as good as imagined, and the price will be very, very high.

Although these considerations are complex, they only last less than two breaths in Rosen's mind.

He first saluted Fubos seriously, his face neither sad nor happy, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Master Marshal, I'm afraid I cannot accept your order."

Fubos's face darkened slightly: "Why? Is it because I am not sincere enough?"

Rosen continued: "Of course not. To be precise, it's not that I don't want to, but that I can't."

"No? Why not?"

Fubos squinted his eyes, blocking most of the cold light.

He was very unhappy when the recruitment was rejected.

Rosen clearly felt the hidden anger of the other party, and his heartbeat accelerated slightly.

He concentrated and continued: "There are two reasons."

"First, I joined the army in response to the count's order. The count ordered me to follow General Chaballet, so naturally I cannot go against the count's wishes."

"Second, General Chabolai was seriously injured. Before he fell into coma, he asked me to continue leading the Silver Moon Rangers. I cannot let him down."

These words were said so seamlessly that Fubos couldn't find an excuse even if he wanted to get angry.

Of course, when he said this, Rosen completely offended the marshal.

He will definitely be in a lot of trouble in the future, especially the military mage Horus.

Once jealousy has arisen, this jealousy will not dissipate out of thin air, it must be vented.

‘Hahahaha~’

Fubos laughed, but his eyes were always fixed on Rosen, his eyes were cold.

"As expected, he is a young man who can be valued by the earl. He is indeed extraordinary. Since it is the earl's order, then you can continue to follow my incompetent brother and become a ranger mage."

"Thank you Marshal for your understanding."

"Back off!"

Rosen saluted again, then turned around and exited the camp.

As soon as he left, Horus came close to Phobos and whispered: "Marshal, this boy has such extraordinary talents, but he is also so loyal to Chabolai. It is really not a good thing."

Fubos glanced at him sideways and snorted.

"The most important thing right now is to destroy the invading ice dwarves. All other things will be discussed after victory. Do you understand?"

Horus felt the warning, his heart trembled, and he immediately bowed slightly: "I understand."

Seeing Horus step aside, Fubos put his forehead with one hand and looked at the paintings on the table in front of him. He recalled the young man's flying spirit in his mind, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

"It's really unlucky that this good-for-nothing Charbolet managed to get such a treasure!"

Although he thought so, he had no murderous intention.

He is just a young mage. Even if he follows Xia Bolai, it will only make Xia Bolai's life easier at most. How can he make him stand up?

After all, they are brothers. As long as his status is not threatened, there is no need to keep Xia Bolay in a state of poverty like a beggar. After all, it is the face of the entire Omicia family that is being embarrassed.

On the other side, Rosen exited the tent. When the cold wind blew, he felt his forehead was a little cold. He raised his hand and touched it. It felt slightly moist, and he actually broke out a lot of fine cold sweat.

Rejecting the marshal's recruitment in person is still very risky.

What if Vobos was a narrow-minded lunatic and just pulled him down and chopped him down, even if he would be reprimanded by the earl afterwards, could he still come back from the dead?

But now it seems that Fubos still has some stomach.

After calming down, he walked toward the medical tent, but when he was still more than ten meters away from the door, he was stopped by two temple warriors wearing white robes.

"This is an important medical center, no casual visitors are allowed in!"

Rosen said: "I am the adjutant of General Xia Bolai. I would like to know the extent of General Xia Bolai's injury."

But the temple warrior refused to get out of the way: "The priest is treating General Shabolai. His life is not in danger at the moment. Don't worry."

Seeing that the other party looked like there was no room for discussion, Rosen had no choice but to turn around and leave.

It's just that in such a huge military camp, except Xia Bolai and a few Silver Moon Rangers, he didn't know anyone.

At this time, he didn't see another ranger, and he didn't know what to do.

After much deliberation, I could only stand by the medical tent and wait for the results.

After waiting for a while, several familiar faces came over. After a closer look, they found that it was Captain Hamill and his men.

Several people have cleaned the blood on their bodies, their wounds have been bandaged, and their faces are pretty good. They should not be seriously injured.

Rosen went up to meet him: "How is it? Is it okay?"

Captain Hamill looked worried: "We all have minor injuries, but the general may be a little bad."

The other rangers also looked grave.

Rosen could understand their mood. On the one hand, they were worried about Xia Bolay's safety.

On the other hand, he was also worried about his own future. After all, he was fine while he was out fighting, but the general was seriously injured. This was already a sin.

At this time, no one was in the mood to talk, so Rosen said: "Then let's all wait here."

"yes."

All the soldiers nodded in agreement.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the curtain door of the medical tent was opened, and a slightly familiar figure came out.

Rosen took a closer look and found that it was the healing priest Vina. He immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Ms. Vina, Ms. Vina, how is General Chabolai?"

Perhaps because Rosen was a more conspicuous child in the military camp, Wei Na still remembered him.

She raised her hand to her mouth to make a silent gesture, and then said a few words to the temple warrior who was blocking the way, and the temple warrior stepped aside.

Rosen immediately ran over quickly, and the other Silver Moon Rangers also hurriedly followed.

When they got closer, Rosen said hurriedly: "Ms. Vina, how is General Chabolai's injury?"

Vina's hands were covered with blood and she was walking towards the bucket, apparently intending to wash her hands.

When Rosen saw it, he immediately picked up the wooden spoon, took a spoonful of water, and helped her wash away the blood on her hands.

Vina said while washing the blood stains.

"General Chabolais was seriously injured. His internal organs were severely hit and there were many damages. But fortunately, he is strong and received timely treatment. He should be able to resume action after lying in bed for a month or two, but I don't think so. It will take at least half a year to fully recover.”

"Half a year?"

This time was a bit too long. When Xia Bolai got up again, the battle would definitely be over.

Vina motioned to Rosen to continue scooping water. After the water was poured down, she continued: "It is a very good result to be able to recover as before. How can we force recovery time?"

That's right. With such a serious injury, it would be lucky to have no sequelae.

Vina washed her hands, then reached into her pocket and took out a silver disk, about half the size of a palm, with the emblem of the Omicia family painted on it.

She handed the disk to Rosen.

"Here, this is the command talisman. General Chabolai woke up once and insisted that I hand it over to you. He said that he would let you command the Silver Moon Rangers on his behalf."

Rosen was stunned for a moment, feeling a little unsure.

Although he must have known about this, he had never seriously learned to lead troops after all. When he was asked to lead troops in a battle, even if it was just two teams of Silver Moon Rangers, he felt guilty and panicked.

Just as he was hesitating whether to answer it, Captain Hamill's voice came from beside him.

"Master Rosen, since it is the general's wish, you can accept it. We are all willing to obey your orders."

"yes!"

"Just take it."

"There has to be a commander, and no one is more suitable than you."

All the rangers expressed their support, so Rosen knew for sure that at least his subordinates would not go against the will.

As for specific military knowledge, it can be learned through practice.

So, he took the military talisman and hid it close to his body: "I will do my best."

With a gentle smile on her face, Wei Na reached out and took out four small bottles of potions and handed them to Rosen.

"The green one is the recovery potion, for first aid. There are three bottles. The blue one is the azure potion. You can take it and use it in case of emergency."

This is a life-saving tool. Although they all carry simple first-aid items, they are far less effective than the potions produced by the temple.

Rosen was very grateful: "Ms. Wei Na, thank you very much for your generosity."

Wei Na patted Rosen on the shoulder: "You are working hard on the front line, and it is I who should thank you. In short, be careful."

This healing priest has an indescribable affinity, and his ordinary words have the power to warm people's hearts, which makes people feel very warm.

When she turned to leave, Hamil looked at her back and couldn't help but said: "Gentle and kind, you are truly worthy of being a priest serving the Golden God."

Looking at the other Silver Moon Rangers, they all showed respect.

Rosen's heart moved slightly: "The temple's ability to win over people's hearts is really good."

Of course, he personally does not dislike this method of bribery. The other party saved lives and injured people and gave him potions, which was a great help to him personally.

However, he had no idea about leading the Silver Moon Rangers.
