Heart of Empire Chapter 90: A thorn head

"Damn it! It's really you!" Redis couldn't hold back, and burst into foul language.

"Brother Redis, long time no see." Dane greeted Redis with a smile. Morneau has always been very optimistic about Dane, and in the early years, the two sides got closer. Naturally, Dane can recognize some important people under Morneau, such as Redis and Chapple.

Not only the two of them, he knows seven out of ten of the people present. The brown-skinned wild elf sitting in the shadow of the hall is Jere, the leader of the Smir mercenary group, a level 6 hunter; the half-orc warrior in mixed iron armor sitting not far from Redis , that is Sandro, the head of the Bloodaxe Mercenary Group; and...

Dane looked at the last person, a woman who was tightly wrapped in black clothes, with a layer of gauze on top of the black clothes, a tall and slender woman whose face was covered by a layer of black cloth. Dane was a little afraid to look at her, even though he had said 'I'm going to beat Alexandrina down' in Morneau's office just now, he was really a little afraid of this woman. Especially when she looked at him with dazed eyes, Dane felt even more empty.

When Dane felt guilty, he would not become timid like ordinary people. The way he used to hide his guilty conscience was to show more pride.

He greeted Redis, Chapple, and Jere loudly, but he missed Sandro and Delina. I missed Sandro because the two of them didn't deal with each other very much in the early years. When Dane couldn't beat Sandro, he once had a conflict with his bloodaxe mercenary group, and Morno later came forward to settle it. things. As for not saying hello to Delina, it was out of a certain guilty conscience.

Sandro snorted coldly, sat down heavily, picked up a cup in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and stared at Dane with slightly resentful eyes. Delina, on the other hand, kept her standing posture, her eyes never letting go of Dane.

Dane ignored Sandro, looked at Delina with concern, and looked away immediately.

"Come on, come on, Dane, sit by my side! It's suffocating me. I was asked by them for a long time just now, but I never told you. How about it, am I loyal enough? Yes Don't you want to have a drink with me?"

It was Emre who activated the atmosphere. He could see that something was wrong with the atmosphere of the scene, so he quickly activated the scene.

With Emre's warm-up and Morno's loud announcement that the banquet started, the scene finally became lively again.

During the banquet, Chapple poked Redis next to him, and said with a smirk, "Hey, Redis, didn't you say that even if Dane came, you would teach him a lesson?"

"Chapple, don't make trouble, I'll tell you!"

"What are you afraid of? You are an eleventh-level barbarian warrior. Dane heard that he was only at level seven a while ago. There is so much difference. Can you beat him?"

"Madan, who knows how he killed Magno? I can't beat Magno... What a ghost! How did he do it?"

"Go and ask him."

"I don't want to go, it's too embarrassing."

……

The Schindler-style banquet, where you drink in a big bowl and eat meat in big mouthfuls, has always been very different from the aristocratic banquet in the Western world. Generally speaking, no serious business is discussed at a banquet, and business matters should be left to talk after eating and drinking.

After everyone was full of wine and food, Moreno dismissed all the irrelevant people, leaving only his important officers and the four regiment leaders including Dane in the hall.

"Everyone here is either an old brother who has been with me for a long time, or a mercenary captain who has created a reputation in Rotten Wolf Town. I believe that everyone is very concerned about my Eastern Expedition plan. I have also heard about it, and I am willing to join. Just now, the reason why I came so late is because I have discussed with Dane for a long time about the specific action plan for our Eastern Expedition. However, this plan has not yet been exposed. , but I assure everyone that the chance of success is quite high, it just depends on whether you are willing to work hard!"

As usual, when Morneau said such a remark, the people below would definitely cheer. But today was different. After his words fell, there was silence. Those present, even if they couldn't turn their minds around, could hear two important points from Morneau's words: first, the original plan was changed; second, the changed plan was not disclosed to anyone. And these two points, no doubt, have an inevitable connection with Dane.

For the officers under Morneau, this made them a little uncomfortable. In their eyes, Dane is just an outsider. Although it was reported this morning that he killed Magno in a one-on-one battle, which made him famous, no matter what, he only He is just a mercenary leader, how can He De participate in the formulation of such an important plan for the Eastern Expedition? Moreover, the plan that was made is not known to others. Doesn't it make it clear that you don't trust the people present?

Compared with these officers, the mercenary chiefs are more dissatisfied.

Everyone knows Dane, which is good. Jere has also had a cooperative relationship with Dane. But this kind of thing, just like what Dane showed in front of Moreno before ~IndoMTL.com~ Such a victory that requires life and death, who wants to participate in the situation without knowing the specific action plan ?

It is normal for people to be dissatisfied. Due to Morno's high reputation, with his endorsement, most people can temporarily suppress this dissatisfaction.

However, there is one exception.

"General Morno, isn't this against the rules?"

The person who spoke was a half-orc warrior with dirty brown-green hair twisted into braids, wearing a mixed-weaving iron armor, and holding a giant ax—the head of the blood ax mercenary group, Sandro.

When he said this, he became the focus of the audience. In the eyes of everyone, some contain admiration-this is because they want to say the same thing but dare not say it; some have disdain and anger-what qualifications do you have to speak out? Others are gloating - something is going to happen to you.

But no matter what, now someone has come out to pick things up.

Morno frowned, looked at Sandro, and said, "You blood ax have problems with me?"

"How dare we have any opinion on you, General Morneau?" Sandro said sullenly, and then turned his gaze to Dane with a provocative look, "But I don't believe this guy. What does he have? Ability? Why let him participate in the formulation of the action plan? Who knows if this guy will make some stupid mistakes and bring us to hell?"
