Lord Chronicle

Chapter 279 Chip's Diary ([-])

7/9

If someone knew that I could keep a diary, they would be surprised.

In fact, this is just a habit I formed unconsciously after I came to Lovell.

When I was a member of the Lulin Yeying Army, apart from fighting, my daily life was only training. I had no time or mood to do other things, including writing a diary.

At that time, I also took it for granted that life is composed of these two things, and even if there are other things to do, they are not for me.

Until, I came to Lovell.

This is really a wonderful place. In this territory, I experienced many things that I thought would never happen to me, and then I realized that life can be so rich.

Then one day I suddenly realized that I am also a flesh and blood, a living person, not just a weapon to kill as I have been taught all along.

Back then, I chose to serve the lord only because I was discouraged and felt at a loss when I suddenly betrayed the motherland I had always been loyal to.

It can be said that it was just a decision based on habit, because Yeying must have a master in order to feel that he is still useful.

But after that day, I began to truly regard the lord as the object of my allegiance.

That is to say, from that day on, Ye Ying’s Kip disappeared, leaving only me—Kip.

I no longer live to kill my enemies, but to protect my home.

After betraying the motherland, I was finally able to live in Lowell and meet the lord, perhaps the greatest luck in my life.

So, I decided to use a diary to record these days after starting a new life.

7/30

Since I became a member of Lovell, my subordinates and I joined the garrison of the territory as a matter of course.

In addition to secretly protecting the lord, we also have to patrol and be responsible for the security of the territory just like ordinary guards.

No one felt like they were being overqualified, we were all happy to take on the new responsibilities and it was a lot of fun working with the young guys on the field.

They have not received formal training, and their discipline is not strict. Even when they are on patrol or guard, they often laugh and fight.From the perspective of a professional soldier, they are probably the most unqualified soldiers.

However, working with them always allows us to learn something new from time to time.It can be said that these young people have contributed a lot to adapting to the new life as soon as possible.

I remember that one month, when the crops in the territory were about to mature, they were targeted by a group of wild boars in the mountains.They harassed downhill in groups, broke fences, and ate crops, causing great losses.

So the lord ordered the garrison to deal with these wild boars.

It happened to be my turn that month, so I joined the operation with two of my men and worked out a plan with Kress.

The wild boar is a very destructive beast. In order not to cause greater damage to the farmland in the territory, we decided to track down the wild boar herd and eliminate them in the mountains.

The process went smoothly, and the vice-captain of the defense team, Boqi, has a strong ability to trace traces (in this point, even our Yeying players can’t match him. In fact, although the entire defense team is poorly trained, many people quite talented).

Relying on the clues left by the herd of wild boars down the mountain a few days ago, we quickly found the herd of wild boars in a valley.

Raiding a group of unsuspecting wild boars was a no-brainer battle, and they weren't even monsters.The battle ended quickly, and the adult wild boars were slaughtered one after another.

In the end, only a dozen or so newborn piglets were left, huddled together in fear.

I winked at two of my men, and they immediately walked over to clean them up.

"Wait a minute." Unexpectedly, when he was about to make a move, he was stopped by Kress.

"Don't kill these piggies," he told us.

"Do you want to take it back? But wild boars are difficult to raise, they eat a lot, and they don't grow as fast as domestic pigs." I find it very strange.

Unexpectedly, he shook his head: "It's not like taking them back, let them go."

"Why?" I was surprised: "Isn't our mission to clean up these wild boars? If we let them go, they will come down the mountain and harm the farmland when they grow up. So we must cut the grass and roots now."

At this time, I also noticed that the guards left a few adult wild boars that were not killed.

After hearing what I said, Kress scratched his head: "I understand what you said, but this has always been the rule in the territory."

"Why?" I still don't understand.

At this time Boqi also came over: "As hunters know, you can't kill them all, you have to keep the small ones, otherwise there will be no more prey to catch next year."

"But they are not prey, but beasts that will endanger the territory." One of my subordinates said.

Boqi smiled: "The reason is the same. Although these wild boars will harm the farmland, they only go down the mountain in the month when the crops are ripe. In other seasons of the year, they just stay in the mountains obediently. "

"We can't completely get rid of them just because of the loss we suffered this month. After all, these guys are just for survival. Both the beasts and us are just members of nature, and no one is qualified to do it according to their own preferences. Judging the rules of nature, so it is enough to make it this far, so that they can no longer come down the mountain to cause trouble."

"So it's completely unnecessary to kill them all."

At that moment, I couldn't help being a little dazed, because this was completely different from the concept I was used to.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense.

While I was in a daze, the guards had let go of the remaining wild boars, carried the killed prey, and were about to go down the mountain.

"Let's go, the harvest is good this time, and I can find an excuse to slaughter the lord." Seeing that I was still a little dazed, Kress shook his hand in front of my eyes with a smile.

"In our territory, you have to learn to live more easily."

For a moment, I suddenly felt that the eyes suddenly opened up.

Yes, now I am no longer a soldier.

It seems that from now on, there are still many new concepts that I need to adapt to.

8/10

Although I am no longer a night shadow, I am still ready to carry out any order given by the lord.

That day, I was called to the Lord's Mansion.

"Chip, I have a very important task for you." In the study, the lord said to me with an unprecedented solemn expression.

This is the first time I have seen such a serious expression on the lord's face. You must know that I have never seen him like this even when the undead invaded the territory.

So, what is it that makes him so serious?
I guessed like this in my heart, but I said calmly on the surface: "Please just tell me."

The lord looked like he didn't know how to speak. After a while, he rubbed his forehead with his hand: "Let me tell you first, this mission is completely different from the previous ones. You must be mentally prepared."

I couldn't help being startled by the soldier's intuition. It seemed that something terrible was about to happen in the territory.

"For the territory, we can always sacrifice our lives." Years of training still make me calm as usual.

The lord gritted his teeth: "Perhaps, it is more painful than death. Have you realized it?"

"Just do your bidding!"

two hours later...

"Captain, are we really going to carry out this mission?"

Yada, my vice-captain, said to me with a troubled face.

"This is the Lord Lord's order." I stopped his doubts without hesitation.

Although we are no longer Yeying, we are still the most trustworthy sword in the hands of the lord, ready to execute any order he gives, even if it is...

Looking out from the dark place where my subordinates and I hid, there is a wide open space.At this moment, in the middle of the open space, dozens of children are carrying backpacks and water bottles, preparing for hiking.

Their noise was clearly audible even at such a distance.

My head started hurting again...

The scene from two hours ago appeared in front of my eyes again.

"Oh, I have a terrible headache. Kafir will really cause me trouble." The lord scratched his head anxiously: "What do you mean those children are in the territory all day long, which is not conducive to growth, so I have to take them out for an outing. Blame me for talking too much, telling her that the school will take the children out for a spring outing."

"They are the first batch of students in the school I established. They are all the children of the residents in the territory. You also know that the mountains near Lovell are not very peaceful. If something happens, it will be troublesome."

"Although I want to send a guard team with me, Kafir firmly opposes it, saying that those with swords and guns will only scare the children. There is no way, after much deliberation, you can only protect those little kids in secret."

In the end, the lord held my hand and said without tears: "So, no matter how difficult it is, we must let them come back safely."

Shaking my head, I pulled my mind back from the memory.Those children have already started to line up and set off into the forest.

So I winked at my subordinates, and everyone disappeared into the darkness without a sound, and started the most special mission since becoming Yeying.

My task is to protect these children to complete the outing safely. Although there is only two hours of preparation time, I still make a simple plan.

I spread out my subordinates and followed these children, always enveloping them in our protective circle. No matter what things want to approach, they must first break through our barriers.

I believe that as long as it is active near the territory, nothing can break through this circle.

There are only two troubles. First, the protected objects this time are a large group of children; second, we must not be discovered by them.

So those are the two things that bother me the most...

The mission went very smoothly at first, and under the watertight protection of my subordinates and myself, nothing could approach the protected target.

Whether it is a monster or an unintentionally approaching wild animal, we are scared away in advance. Even small animals such as harmless hares and squirrels cannot approach this protective circle.

The long-term Yeying experience has taught me a truth, that is, no matter how small the possibility is, it cannot affect the progress of the task.

We must be foolproof!
Because of this, I even had optimistic thoughts. It seems that this mission is not as difficult as the lord said.

However, I was wrong.

The real test began after the children found a place to rest and have a picnic.

Because the target stopped, my subordinates and I also stopped moving, but we were still scattered around to guard.But troubles also followed. Those children lost the restraint of discipline, finally showed their true nature, and started running around, playing and playing.

The most feared thing about being an escort mission is the target of this kind of random action, but now is not the time to complain.I had no choice but to give up the plan to form a stable protection circle, and ordered my subordinates to fight on their own, taking into account the safety of every child as much as possible.

So, my subordinates and I had to follow every child running around, moving back and forth in the forest covertly.Sometimes the goals are too scattered, and we even have to run back and forth in a small area, and then we have to pass animals that may endanger the children along the way.

In Lulin, Ye Ying, who only protects senior officials at the senior official level, is running back and forth with all his strength for a group of civilian children.

If someone had told me a few years ago that we would do this kind of thing, I would have thought he was crazy.

Very tired, but there is a strange warmth in my heart.

Perhaps, this is what we are trying to find in this territory despite our Yeying identity?
However, the situation still happened.

"Sister, we want to pee." Just after secretly protecting two little girls from catching butterflies, I heard a little boy say to Kafir.

At that time, Kafir was helping a group of children weave wreaths, so he pointed to a small forest in the distance: "Go there by yourself, remember not to run too far."

"Why don't you run away, you are the leader of the team, then take him there yourself, it's too irresponsible to say that." I couldn't help but say in my heart.

Suddenly, I was surprised to find that I was complaining, I was complaining.

God, I'm getting irritated by these kids.

At this time, the little boy had already jumped into the woods and untied his belt at a short tree.

At the same time, I also saw that the deputy captain, Yada, was already in position and sneaked into a bush behind him.

I'll leave it to him. I was about to leave when suddenly the child who was about to pee on the tree trunk turned around and turned to the bush where Yada was hiding.

There was no sign of this, and even Yada and I were caught off guard.

These kids are so good...

It's too late to leave now, because it's daytime, so close at hand, Yada will be spotted if he moves a little bit, and we must never be seen by these children.

But if you stay there, you'll...

Yada, who was behind the bushes, gave me a look for help.

I slowly closed my eyes and shook my head.Sorry, Yada, although it is no longer Yeying, we still have to overcome all difficulties in order to complete the mission.

So please bear with it with the determination to treat this mission as a battle.

At this moment, the little boy began to pee, and the jet of water shot completely into the bushes, making a rustling sound.

I...I can't bear to watch it anymore.

Similar situations continue to occur elsewhere, and we have to brace ourselves for an increasingly difficult task.

I even miss the days when I got up in Yeying and fought with the enemy on the battlefield.

However, the God of Victory still does not seem to intend to let us go.

"Sister, why can't I see a single animal here? Didn't you say when you came here that there would be many little rabbits and squirrels?" At this time, a little girl said to Kafir.

Kafir looked up and looked around, and said strangely: "Really, I can't see any of them. There should be many small animals this season."

They were all scared away by us, of course there won't be any.Never mind the small animals, the sun is about to set, let's take these children back.

Unexpectedly, she then said something that almost broke us: "Are they hiding? Is this good? Let's go look for them nearby, okay?"

I can't imagine what would happen if all these kids were allowed to run off into the woods.

So, I decisively turned back and shouted: "France, Eric, hurry up!"

The two subordinates nodded and disappeared from the hiding place as quickly as possible.

A few minutes later, although their bodies were covered in leaves and animal fur, they also caught several terrified rabbits and squirrels in their hands.

We quickly threw these little animals into the grass next to the child.

Another crisis solved.

Finally, we persisted until the end of the outing, and we escorted these children back to the small town smoothly.

Under the setting sun, the children who came back from the outing happily threw themselves into the arms of their parents who came to welcome them. Cheers and laughter echoed in the air.

However, no one has noticed that behind this warm picture, there are a group of exhausted men hidden in those unobtrusive corners.

"Yes, that is a place that cannot belong to us."

I used to think so without hesitation.

But now, I believe that in this territory, sooner or later, there will be a place for me and my subordinates in this scene.

For this reason, I will not hesitate to execute any order given by the lord.
