Side Story Dark Tales - The Day Cohen Left(3/3)
"How many days later?" The big elf comforted Kelly with warm hands: "At that time, everyone who should come will have come, and what should happen will happen..."
"But what can we do to survive these days?" Feline sighed softly: "There are too many scenes that require Cohen to appear!"
"Cohen left something that will be very helpful to us." Fischette raised the corner of his mouth, as if he remembered something interesting, although this expression was a bit inappropriate under such circumstances: "That is Cohen, the governor.
Your character and temper!"
Under such a severe situation, when everyone heard this sentence, the corners of their mouths turned up involuntarily!
That night, the Governor ordered that the war readiness of the Dark Province be lifted, and construction sites and various ethnic groups scattered around the Dark City should immediately resume construction and production, while at the same time conveying the news of victory over a group of bandits.
This order also passed through the hands of the Yiren scouts and was immediately delivered to dozens of construction sites and alien gathering places scattered in the Dark Province.
Suddenly, the darkness was full of joy! Countless migrant workers and countless foreign residents rushed to tell each other... These people who are struggling to survive in the predicament, these people who gathered under the dark governor's unscrupulous voice... are in great need.
Such news to cheer you up!
I was not mistaken! Although the reputation of this governor is indeed not very good, he seems to be quite powerful. He defeated the invading bandits with such a small army. After all, he is a member of the Keda family and can protect himself.
... Countless people fall asleep peacefully with such thoughts in mind.
Early the next morning, a large group of soldiers and craftsmen, led by officials at all levels, decorated the construction site of Dark City and worked hard.
"To welcome the army of our dark province heroes! To celebrate the first victory of our dear sons! To celebrate the triumph of our invincible army! We must make the construction site more colorful..." Officials of all sizes
They spoke to their subordinates with saliva on their lips, as if their army had won countless victories.
They stood on the half-built city wall, they stood on the rubble piles in the quarry, they stood on the rotten wooden piles by the roadside, shouting: "Let them feel at home! Make them comfortable! Make them comfortable!"
Let them... Hey! What are you looking at? It's you! What are you hanging up!"
"It's a colorful flag, sir!"
"Idiot! Are there white flags?"
"But there is no red fabric..."
"No more? Where did the red fabric go?"
"Sir, didn't you just take them all and say you were going to make a new pair of underwear for every soldier in the army?"
"It seems like this...you are stupid! You can't paint with paint?"
"But there's not enough red paint..."
"Where did the paint go?"
"Used it to paint the walls of the newly built military toilet..."
"Sir, do we still want to hang up?"
"Forget it, just use some red paint to draw a colorful frame here..."
The entire construction site was in chaos. Officials at all levels were racking their brains to find ways to solve the tasks assigned to them. The Governor's celebration plan was really a bit excessive...
But what can be done? The Governor has such a temper, it will be a disaster if he can't finish it! It's a small thing, but I'm afraid that the Governor doesn't know what method he will use to deal with himself.
But having said that, why is it that things that usually seem to be simple are so difficult to do today? There is a shortage of manpower here, but there are road jams because of too many people; there are no materials here, but the materials that have just arrived there are
I don’t know where it went…
How can the construction site usually be so chaotic? Are you overly excited because of the news of victory?
Although the progress of the work is slow, no one dares to go to the Governor to complain, because... the Governor started to lose his temper early this morning, and it is almost noon now, and it is not over yet!
"Do you know? The Governor was in a bad mood because he was injured. He started scolding his guards this morning..." The officials exchanged the latest news about the Governor: "There was also a guy from the city hall who was accidentally arrested by the Governor."
Live, my hair was shaved off like this..."
"That was just now, and now the number of people whose heads have been shaved has increased to five!"
"No! I passed by the Governor's tent in the morning and heard the Governor cursing, but he was so loud! No matter how hard the three ladies tried to persuade him, they couldn't stop him!"
"Oh my God! Please! Don't let the Governor come out of the tent!" The officials shouted in their hearts: "If the Governor sees my current work progress... I'm afraid I won't have a single hair left from head to toe!
"
When the army led by Martin Luther arrived at the Dark City, everyone could hardly believe their eyes.
This is the boiling dark city!
Every road is lined with cheering crowds. There are humans, orcs, winged people, dwarves, and people who don’t know who they are... There are adults and children. They are holding blooming flowers and shouting
He was chanting enthusiastic slogans, his eyes were constantly showing heat, and his mouth would have spittle from time to time...
Banners welcoming the triumphal march of the army were hung in the sky. Because the dark army was composed of a complex race, and because there were not many idle materials on the dark construction site, dozens or twenty kinds of writings were often written on a banner that was no more than a foot high.
Word.
Although they express the same meaning, some characters are long and some are short... It looks like someone has stuffed a few caterpillars into their mouth.
Fortunately, there are not many literate soldiers in the Dark Army. Even those who are literate don't have time to look at this now. The soldiers are surrounded by the crowd.
The soldiers, who had never been treated like this before, were still marching in neat queues even when there were no orders, with honest smiles on their faces and shy expressions as they answered the greetings of their elders and looked around for their families.
figure...
At that moment, Martin Luther believed in miracles, and Cohen woke up! This was Cohen's handwriting, the crooked pattern painted on the wall, the colorful flags and banners made of unknown things inserted everywhere...
Cohen's nonsensical spirit and weird style are revealed everywhere.
He took a long breath, let go of his worries, and asked the officials who came to greet him: "Where is Governor Cohen?"
"The Governor is in his tent!" The official smiled bitterly: "I have been losing my temper all morning. You can hear it from a distance... Go and persuade me quickly, otherwise, I don't know how many people are still there.
It’s going to be bad luck.”
"Really?" Martin Luther smiled lightly, gave the troops a few orders, and then headed for the governor's tent.
He is a young man after all! He loses his temper when he is frustrated.
The official was right. Martin was far away when he heard Governor Cohen yelling from the other side of the tent. The voice sounded so powerful.
"Probably because Cohen now feels that he is dark and shameful!" Martin even had a smile on his lips: "Haha!"
It seems that Cohen is very concerned about his careless ambush. Outside the governor's tent, the security today is not as tight as usual!
"Sir Martin!" A guard ran up and said, "Please stop and let me report!"
"Go!" Martin, who has spent almost his whole life in the military, certainly understood: "Why are the security guards so tight today?"
"You don't know." The guard complained: "This morning, Chief Wadi ignored our captain's dissuasion and barged in without warning... As a result, he was spanked by the Governor, and our captain was also shaved.
Bald!"
Martin shook his head helplessly, thinking that Cohen went a little too far this time and even spanked Wadi, who was his good brother!
"Grandpa Martin is back!" Cohen's voice was full of surprise: "Come in quickly!"
Martin walked in and saw a soldier standing in a tent. He was holding his voice and speaking to the governor with a painful expression. His two granddaughters and several others were looking at him with worried faces.
Martin's body swayed and he immediately stood still.
"Haha...Cohen." He said loudly with a wooden face: "It's good to see you're okay!"
At noon on the seventh day after the army returned to the Dark City, the residents were surprised to find that the Dark Moon Governor, Lord Visu Keda, the father of the Dark Moon Governor, arrived accompanied by Chief Moya.
Two days later, several fast horses came from the direction of the Holy City. The people on the horses were in a hurry, but several magicians had already recognized that one of them was the great magician Wilbur!
Three days later, a horse team came from the direction of the Holy Capital again. There were only a few people in the horse team each time. Some were magicians, some were messengers with packages... a steady stream!
"What's going on now? There are so many important people here." People speculated: "Is the governor planning to start new construction? Or is there a war to fight?"
"Don't be afraid! Don't we have Governor Cohen here?"
"Yes! That's right!"
It seems that Governor Cohen, who is dying in bed, has seen his reputation rise during this period!
And in another place...such as Zuoxiang's Mansion in the Holy Capital, the atmosphere of conversation there is not very relaxed.
"I'm sorry! Mr. Left Prime Minister, it seems that we didn't succeed this time. That ruffian is still alive and well..." A guy bent over and said: "According to the spies who came back, that guy is very energetic and curses every day.
Not too tired!"
"You idiot!" Zuo Xiang, who was sitting at the table, sighed and said calmly: "I have told you a long time ago that you have to use your eyes to recognize people, and you need to use your eyes to recognize people! Look, you have found some.
What kind of idiot would do this!"
"It's my fault!" The man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "I am the one who deserves to be blamed! I will find someone to kill him again!"
"No need." Zuo Xiang shook his head: "I have more important things to worry about...get out of here!" After Zuo Xiang said that, he looked up at the sky and did not move for a long time.
"Why can't you be my son-in-law?" He murmured to himself, "You asked for this!"
Finally, during Cohen's absence, the people around him perfectly completed their first scam in the Dark Province.
Chapter completed!
