Until many, many years later, when looking back on this war, the mystery of the city's destruction of Osgilia still haunts countless scholars of military history.
Because at the time, the momentum of the rebels was already stagnant. The protracted battle against Osgilia lasted from spring to winter, spanning half a year. Both the offensive and defensive sides were exhausted. When the rebels entered the war, the internal chaos of the rebels was already in chaos. At this time, the situation was infinitely inclined to the empire. But at this time, Osgilia, the world's number one hero city, which was originally considered to be unbreakable, was destroyed by the rebels!
This is nothing short of a miracle, a huge joke played by God and people, an incredible miracle!
However, what no one knows is that the occurrence of any so-called "miracle" is actually based on certain opportunities and preconditions...
Let's temporarily rewind the time to the days before Osgilia was broken. At this time, in the northern city of Husk, Char and Dax were secretly discussing how to deal with the beautiful governor's wife in the Besta Military Region.
And almost at the same time, in Osgilia, a young man also encountered a huge trouble.
Nigur is in an inner tangle.
As the nephew of General Spahn, one of the commanders of the army defending the city, General Spahn himself is an important general of the empire, especially when the Empire State Building is about to collapse, as a pillar guarding Osgilia, in the army. The position in the rank is implicitly under General Adric! Everyone knows that as long as the imperial family can win this war, the hard-working General Spahn will definitely be used by the emperor!
Originally it was just the identity of a garrison general in the imperial capital. In a place like the imperial capital where the rich and powerful gathered, a small garrison general was just a small role in the eyes of those dignitaries who used to sit above the clouds. Even in the circle of the younger generation of aristocratic disciples in the imperial capital, Nigur was only a minor character in the past.
But this war changed everything.
In troubled times, whoever controls the army has the greatest power. Now that the rebels have been besieging the city for several months, the commander-in-chief of the defenders of the imperial capital is the inconspicuous General Spahn. And this General Spahn has won the trust of His Majesty the new and old emperors.
Even Adric, now recognized as the first person in the army, brought reinforcements thousands of miles back to the division and returned to the imperial capital to sit in town, and was immediately appointed as the number one commander of the imperial defenders.
But General Spahn's status in the hearts of the royal family has not declined.
General Spahn has now been appointed as the deputy commander of the Imperial Defense Forces, and his status is only under Adric! Moreover, almost half of the current defenders of the imperial capital are from his former direct descendants.
You must know that in the current situation of the empire, several legions that were originally guarding the outside world: the 6th and 7th legions are said to have been destroyed in the north, and the most powerful 13th legion, the Rodririan cavalry, has also been destroyed. Among the only remaining armies, the 2nd and 9th Corps were all rebuilt after the last battle with the Odins, and now there are only 20,000 people together. And the real main battle force in the Imperial City is the more than 20,000 people of the original Royal City Guards, and it is also the old army that Spahn himself has been commanding! As for the 10,000 or 20,000 people that Adrick brought back later, they were actually just some local garrison troops patched together from the south. In terms of quality, they were far worse than the Royal City Guards.
If you compare it carefully, among the powerful armies that the empire can pull out now, Spahn, a previously inconspicuous character, has suddenly become radiant! Because almost half of the most elite troops who are loyal to the empire now are his old subordinates, the Royal City Guards, brought out by him!
Even the royal guards of the imperial capital had some inexplicable relationship with Spahn: it was the practice of the empire to select elites with good family backgrounds from the royal guards to enrich the guards. In the current Royal Forest Army, there are many people who were transferred from the Royal City Guards in the past.
Spahn has been in command of the Royal Guards for more than eight years, and now many of the Royal Forest Army were once Spahn's old subordinates.
In the army, this kind of old subordinate relationship is often valued by everyone!
Even a big word: at least in these existing armies, the prestige of Spahn himself is not necessarily lower than that of Adrick!
In addition, he vowed to protect the imperial capital to the death, and his hard work was high. Before Adric did not lead his troops back to the division, it was Spahn who supported the city's defense. This kind of credit was not too rewarding.
At this moment, the star of the Imperial Army is withering. Although Adric is recognized as the first general, since he was promoted to the Minister of Military Affairs, he has actually been converted into a civilian post. It is the practice of the Empire, but there has never been a Minister of Military Affairs directly commanding anything. Army's. Therefore, Adrick has the hope of being a famous general, but he does not have a direct army in his hand.
The reputation of this guy Ruhr has finally been pulled over. This general who was previously recognized as only good at escape and self-defense, after leading the Rodriguez cavalry to fight a spark-splashed city battle that night, With the toughness and bloody nature that made everyone stunned, he forcibly charged the rebel camp with less than 10,000 Roderian cavalry, and fought fiercely all night. After 10,000 cavalry, this guy who was considered cowardly in the past did not take a step back, and finally forced the new emperor to enter the city to be crowned and enthroned.
Ruhr doesn't say anything else, but at least no one dares to add the word cowardly to his head again!
As for the other generals in the current imperial army, the generals of the 2nd and 9th Corps are Sosia and Butler, who were both mid-level generals at the flag regiment level among the former Rodriguez cavalry, and they were the direct descendants of Adric.
Even people with a dull political sense at least understand one truth: Adric is already the first person in the Imperial Army, as the Minister of Military Affairs, and now many generals in the Imperial Army are his direct descendants. The Derek family has already begun to take shape, so the emperor and the civil servants of the empire, at least for the sake of balance, will definitely not promote Adrick's direct line, at least Socia and Butler are both rooted. Adrick's direct line, for a long time, will be sitting firmly in the current position, and will not get any promotion opportunities.
Then, after all the calculations, the only one who can still stand on the stage is Spahn.
Moreover, this Spahn has proved his ability and loyalty to the Empire in the war. It's not Adrick's direct descendant, and if he is brought out, he can compete with Adrick in terms of military prestige, and at the same time, he can balance the dominance of Adrick's family within the military.
After this war, even if General Spahn didn't want to rise to prominence, he was afraid that the whole empire would not agree to it!
At least, a deputy minister of military affairs can't escape, and maybe he can get a marquis title!
Regardless of status and power, it is enough to stand in the top five among the imperial elites!
Such a big hit, a new and powerful figure in a powerful empire, and everyone knows that General Spahn himself has no son!
Nigur, this former small character in the circle of young aristocratic disciples of the empire, a little fellow, became the only heir of General Spahn! Become the only successor in the future of that new powerful force!
At this moment, the people who go to fawn on General Spahn are like carps crossing the river, and there are many people who come to support Major General Nigur's stinky feet.
If this kind of situation happened to the "playful boy Nigur" in the past, this guy would wake up laughing even if he was dreaming.
But the current Nigur, since he changed his mind, went back to the city that night under the leadership of the mysterious master in the family, Mr. Ye Lin. After that, he served in the army and reborn in an upright manner. After that, his talent was not bad. After he put his posture right, he also worked hard and fought hard in the army. In the past few days, he has also built some military exploits. Just like a piece of stubborn iron thrown into the two melting pots of the army and war, it was finally smelted into steel, extracted from the essence, and became a real young hero.
But no matter what, his family background is there. Although he started from the bottom in the army, he was only a big head soldier at the beginning, and then from the squad officer to the small flag officer, he relied on military exploits and the heads of killed rebels all the way. The road to promotion that has been accumulated can be regarded as a real contribution. It has never been exaggerated. When fighting, it is indeed brave and resolute.
But... After all, he is General Spahn's nephew! Is the only heir to General Spahn! Therefore, in the army, he was naturally taken care of both overtly and secretly.
At least, in just two months, he was promoted from the chief soldier to the military rank of deputy battalion officer. The speed of this promotion is simply amazing! Even during the war, Nigur did cut off the heads of many rebel siege soldiers with his own hands, and he did not get injured many times. But... In the battle, besides him Nigur, there are naturally a lot of people who can do this! The rebels have been sieging the city for several months. Which of the defenders is not fighting to the death, and which one has few injuries
However, Nigur's family background is placed there, but the speed of promotion is much faster than others.
The empire has been established for thousands of years, and most of the young children of the powerful are those who are addicted to sensuality. There is rarely a guy who has achieved the duty of a soldier like Nigul. .
These days, Nigur is still guarding the city every day. He has been promoted to a deputy battalion officer, but he is actually equal to a main battalion officer. The serious injury has been retired to recuperate. The main camp officer lost an arm in the battle and has become a disabled person. Even if he recovers the injury, he will be discharged from the army or transferred to a civilian job. It was also during that battle that Ni Guer was promoted to the deputy battalion officer, but the upper echelons of the military have not sent anyone to fill the position of the battalion officer, consciously or not. If Er is the deputy, he will naturally become the actual leader. Now Nigur, who holds the title of deputy, commands a battalion of nearly 300 people.
In the continuous battle, the casualties of the defenders in the city were also huge, but when the limited reserve force supplemented the various incomplete battalions, the above also gave special treatment to the battalion where Nigur was located, and the supplementary manpower and material resources were also the thickest. Even if the other battalions are replenished, there will only be one or two hundred people in the sky. Only Nigur's battalion has maintained a full state of 300 people. This kind of preferential treatment is also because the people above the army have the intention to cultivate Nigur, and give him as much troops and material resources as possible, so that the future major general can have more troops, make more achievements in battle, and at the same time have more troops and battle formations. Among them, it can also ensure the safety of the future major general.
Of course, with all these various preferential treatments, no one would think it was wrong, but they took it for granted.
※※※
In the city defense to the southwest of the imperial capital, a block under the city wall has been requisitioned after the war, and all the houses and buildings have been requisitioned for the storage of ordnance and the placement of wounded soldiers, logistics operations, and command posts.
In some places, some houses are arranged for the rest of the guards and soldiers who have been rotated.
Although Nigur was only a low-level officer at the battalion level, he also received a single room to rest. This kind of preferential treatment was naturally also due to his family background.
Nigur was brave enough to fight on the city wall, and he lived and died together with the soldiers. Even if the arrows were replaced by swords and axes, in the melee, Nigur would not wrinkle when he blocked the swords for his colleagues. He frowned, but after leaving the city, he did not refuse this single-room rest room.
After all, no matter how willing he is to share weal and woe with the soldiers, Nigur, who was born from a noble family, is still deeply ingrained in his philosophy.
In his opinion, it is enough for him to fight the enemy bravely, not to be cowardly or to be afraid of death, and to stand on the front line with the soldiers during the war. , but it seems contrived.
Although his idea may not be desirable, among the young dignitaries in the imperial capital, someone who can achieve his level is already considered a first-class talent.
Before the rebels attacked the city fiercely and the battle was stalemate, the rebels attacked day and night. Nigur also guarded the city wall with the soldiers day and night. Even if he was tired and sleepy, he leaned against the wall and held his weapon. After a short rest, as soon as the war drums sounded, they immediately jumped up with their weapons and rushed towards the enemy who rushed to the city wall.
But these days, the rebel offensive has become increasingly feeble.
A few days ago, he had maintained two or three offensives a day, but these days, he has only attacked lazily once a day, and each time he has only selected a few breakthroughs to attack.
On the contrary, the section of the city wall where Nigur's battalion is located has not had any fighting for three days. It was only yesterday that the rebels attacked another city gate, and Nigur was ordered to send a team of people to reinforce it.
It was rare to relax and get a good night's sleep before Nigur regained some energy.
A few days ago, the days of licking blood on the blade every day were numb.
Relaxing these days, the whole city seems to be overflowing with a pre-victory joy.
The news of the Lantis people's participation in the war has already spread throughout the city. A fleet of the Lantis people in the port of Catania has docked, and an army of a regiment has landed, which is equivalent to stabbing a sharp knife behind the rebels. dagger! At the same time, it is said that there are still several corps in Landis that are already assembling, and will be transported by their powerful navy to land in the southern ports one by one. At that time, so many daggers will be inserted behind the rebels at the same time. … Is the end of these rebels still far away
The victory of this war finally made us survive!
This kind of relaxation before the victory even pervaded the official class, and some noble families even began to quietly hold some victory banquets these days. Although all materials are under the control of the rationing system during the war.
However, the empire has been established for a thousand years, and the power of these nobles has already penetrated into every corner. Although there is a prohibition on alcohol, those nobles with great powers can still get alcohol. Although there is a food ration system, those nobles with great powers can still get wine. Get delicious delicacies.
This relaxed atmosphere made General Spahn and Adric very uneasy. Under the joint rectification of the two of them, at least the army still maintained a tense atmosphere.
As for the old men in town... they can do what they like.
Although Adrick knew that these people were banned, he was not easy to intervene. After all, these aristocratic gentlemen have cooperated enough with their work in the past six months. Many aristocratic families have contributed their own private soldiers and servants to enrich the army. The strength of the back, and some nobles also contributed gold coins to enrich the military resources. To be able to do this is already regarded as the loyalty of these noble masters to the empire. Now that the war is about to get through, and they want to be happy, let them be happy.
Nigur took a two-day rest and received a total of 18 invitations to banquets!
Those guys didn't invite their uncles, but they all aimed at themselves.
If it had suddenly become so popular in the past, Ni Gu'er naturally couldn't ask for it, but now, after this war, the bloody killings, the days of dancing on the edge of the blade... Ni Gu'er seems to have changed. Like a person, the original playboy has grown into a man unknowingly.
He tore up all these invitations.
What a joke, right now the rebels outside the city have not retreated, maybe they will attack the city again at any time. As a defending officer, how can I go to some bullshit banquet? These guys are really fooling around!
Nigur has already thought about it. He can go to the logistics department tonight, use his own face, get some meat back, and then send it to his camp to stay with the soldiers under his command. My uncle once taught me that if you want to use your life as a soldier, you have to be considerate to the people under you.
Generally speaking, there are two types of generals in the empire. One is the grass-roots generals, such as Adrick, who used to be students who graduated from the military academy. They mingled with the low-level soldiers, ate and drank together, and even crowded the shops together.
On the other hand, there are generals from aristocratic backgrounds, like Nigur. Although they can live and die together with the soldiers in battle, they have the courage to sacrifice, but the nobles in their bones have other ideas. Still won't change. They will still maintain their noble status everywhere and enjoy some preferential treatment.
It is impossible for Nigur to sleep with those soldiers in the whole shop, but it is completely possible to use his identity to fight for all the benefits for his army.
Nigur had already made up his mind, and he tore off the remaining invitation stickers before going out.
But when I tore the last one, my eyes suddenly floated over the name on the invitation, and my hands suddenly froze, and my movements stopped!
… This is not a party invitation, but just a private party invitation.
What surprised Nigur was that the names on the invitation were: Gerry, Masha...
Gerry, Martha, Bidaldo, plus myself... Wang Chengsixiu...
Thinking of those absurd days when he was young, Ni Gu'er twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a wry smile.
Everyone always has some real friends. The other three people in Wang Chengsixiu are Nigur's friends.
I have been fighting in the army these days, but I have almost left these former friends behind.
Gerry... Bidaldo...
Alas... And, Marsha! Marsha! !
※※※
A very shitty and clichéd reason.
At the beginning, the so-called "Four Shows of the King City" gathered together, mostly because of the only female member of the Four Shows, the so-called "New Goddess of Darkness", Miss Masha.
Among the four young people, Nigur and Gerry are both noble children, but they all adore the beautiful Miss Martha invariably. A few young people who didn't know the sky and the earth thought that they had practiced some skills with the "guardian masters" in their own family, and under the deliberate flattery of their subordinates, they really fluttered and dreamed of masters.
However, Nigur and that Master Gerry have always been in love with Masha.
It's a pity that in the past, that Miss Marsha obviously preferred Master Gerry, who was handsome and had a better family background than herself.
As for himself, among the four, he was just a supporting role as tall as a bull.
In the past, Nigur could only accept this situation silently.
After all, Gerry's family background is much stronger than his own. He is the son of a minister who subordinates to him, and he is only the nephew of a general. In a place like the imperial capital, there are almost a lot of people with the title of general. His uncle is also a person who doesn't like to fight for power and profit, so he guards the position of the city guard, and it seems that he has never had any ambitions.
On the other hand, Gerry was handsome and tall, but he didn't look like himself. He looked like a savage cow, and he looked like he didn't understand the amorous feelings at all.
The status and talents of the two are quite different, and Nigur could only silently act as a foil before. Watching the girl you love chatting and laughing with your friends.
But now... Today, when I received this invitation, Nigur suddenly had an unprecedented impulse in his heart...
Maybe... the self today is... different
After hesitating for a while, it was just a small gathering of a few people, and it was time for a break.
Besides... I haven't seen Masha for many days, and my originally peaceful heart was stirred by this invitation, and it suddenly swayed, and I couldn't be calm anymore.
After hurriedly changing into a clean clothes and leading the horse, Nigur went out for an appointment.
…
The party was in a tavern that the previous few people liked to go to. When Nigur arrived, their entourage had already packed the tavern as usual.
There were only five or six people participating in this gathering, and all four of the royal palaces were present. In addition, there were two or three minor characters who were also underpowered in the circle of young aristocrats in the past.
The last time Nigur arrived, when he entered the door, he saw Gerry sitting with Masha and talking intimately and laughing about something. The young master Gerry was still handsome and handsome, and there was that gorgeous silver cross on the table. sword.
It was that Miss Marsha, who no longer carried her signature "Bow of the Night Goddess".
Nigur had just entered the door, and the people inside immediately cheered together. Several small characters came to greet him and flattered him a lot, which made Nigur a little uncomfortable.
In the past... in this small circle, only Gerry would get such treatment, and as for himself... I used to be among these people and flatter Gerry.
To Nigur's surprise, when she saw herself coming in, Miss Marsha also stood up immediately, leaving behind Gerry, who was chatting and laughing intimately, and strode towards her.
"Nigur, you are finally here, our fourth show in the royal city has finally expired!"
Masha didn't wear a warrior outfit as before, but returned to the attire of an aristocratic girl, with her hair combed behind her head, dressed in a long group dragging the ground, walking towards her face, every step of the way, Ni Goulton He smelled a faint aroma and got into his nose.
Masha looked very elated, and actually came up and gave Nigur a hug—although everyone had a good relationship in the past, Masha never hugged herself.
At this moment, this soft body was in his arms, although it was only for such a short moment, Ni Guer couldn't help but feel a trance in his heart, and even forgot to taste the taste of ecstasy.
Afterwards, Masha personally took Nigur's hand, pulled him to the table, and sat down next to her.
At this time, Ni Guer met Gerry, the young master Gerry still smiled arrogantly, and nodded to himself: "You arrogant, you are late again, and I will punish you to drink a bucket first. ."
If this kind of frivolous words, in the past, Nigur would have just smirked, and then self-deprecated, and then when he was about to drink, he would obediently pour himself a few big glasses.
But today, when Gerry's words were thrown over, Ni Guer suddenly realized that it was impossible for him to let himself lower his stance to please this young master of Gerry!
Experienced the real test of life and death, experienced the mountain of corpses and blood on the city wall, and experienced the head of the enemy with a sharp long knife...
At this moment, Nigur naturally has a pride in his heart!
The rebel camp, Lao Tzu, has broken through! How many rebels have their heads cut off! At the juncture of life and death, I never frowned!
... Such a scoundrel is also qualified to let Lao Tzu bow his head in front of you? !
Nigur just smiled stiffly, nodded lightly and sat down.
Seeing that Masha was holding Nigur's arm intimately, even if he sat down, he didn't seem to let go, as if he was quietly moving a little closer to Nigur's side - Master Gerry's face There was a flash of blue air, and the corner of his mouth twitched, but he finally didn't say a word.
The meeting is still going on as it has been for countless times before. But Nigur, who was sitting in it, faintly gave birth to a feeling that was incompatible with this atmosphere.
These guys still talk anecdotes and gossip in noble circles. For example, the mistress of a certain marquis has secretly hooked up with others, for example, a seemingly reserved noble lady is actually a promiscuous slut, a noble young master looks strong, but is actually a useless waste in bed...
Nigur, who was sitting in it, only felt that he was not interested, and the others said that he was elated, but he did not interrupt a word.
The only thing that surprised him was the change in Masha's attitude towards him.
In the past, the beauty of this Miss Masha made my heart move, but in this small circle, I was just a small role, even in the small group of "Four Shows in the King City", Gerry was also the radiant leader, Masha was It is the jewel in the palm of everyone's admiration. Even that Bidaldo has at least the halo title of a magician. There is only himself, and the sky has a big man like a bull, but he has always been the object of everyone's teasing. Just a funny clown.
Even Masha, whom he loves, rarely looks at himself with the right eyes. Most people think of Martha and Gerry as a couple.
But tonight, Masha's attitude towards herself was almost enthusiastic, and she kept calling him to drink. Seeing that she was sitting sullenly, Masha even took the initiative to come over and talk to herself to relieve her boredom.
To be honest, this kind of treatment made Nigur a little flattered. Although he may not be interested in the topics Masha said, but a young man like him looks at a beautiful girl he has admired for many years, in front of him. He smiled sweetly, and occasionally looked at himself deeply, intentionally or unintentionally, and looked at the other person's beautiful smiling face like a flower from such a close distance, as well as the faint fragrance of the other person's body - this was enough to make Ni Guer fascinated. !
Moreover, thinking about it carefully, Masha looked at her eyes a few times tonight, it seemed... as if there was a hint of excitement in her! In the past, Masha would only show this look when she looked at Gerry, but now, it's facing herself! ! !
Even talking, the party seems to have become, other people say theirs, Nigur and Masha two people whispered their own whispers next to each other, the difference is clear.
He didn't know how much he drank, but Ni Guer suddenly realized that Masha was sitting next to him, almost half of his soft body was leaning on his arm!
Seeing this beautiful face is close at hand, and the taste in the eyes, want to tell, watery eyes, almost dripping water - Ni Guer should understand the girl's mind even if he is a fool .
It's just that this kind of surprise, which I had never thought of before, suddenly appeared in front of me, leaving Nigur at a loss.
At this moment, suddenly there was a low whistle outside.
Nigur had been in the army for so many days, and he immediately recognized that it was the whistle issued by the cavalry when they were walking. As soon as he heard the familiar voice of the military, he also woke up three minutes, sat up straight, and coughed: "It's getting late, I have to go back to the camp."
Saying that, he gritted his teeth and stood up.
Although he was resting tonight, since he became a camp officer, his uncle had taught him by machine. As an officer, he was sympathetic to the soldiers, and he had to patrol the camp every night! Although this is not his responsibility, but only by doing so, over many years, can the soldiers truly return to their hearts, and they cannot be abandoned in a day!
Now that Nigur has determined to be an effective person, he naturally followed his uncle's instructions. These days as an officer, whether it is wartime or rest, he rests after all the soldiers fall asleep every day. When it was time to rest, he had to patrol his subordinates every day, watching the soldiers resting peacefully before leaving. This approach has indeed greatly improved his status in the hearts of the soldiers.
At this moment, he heard the whistle of the patrolling soldiers outside, and he immediately recognized that it was not too early. If he rushed back now, he could still make it to the patrol camp. If it was later, he would not be able to rush back today before the soldiers fell asleep.
Nigur got up and left in a hurry, and the people next to him naturally tried their best to retain him, but everyone felt that Nigur was out of place tonight. Although the words of retention were warm, they all lost a bit of sincerity.
Nigur was determined to return to the camp, how could he stay? He can leave, everyone can only send him out, but Masha deliberately let everyone stay, and sent Nigur out by himself.
Even before Ni Gu'er got on the horse, Masha held Ni Gu'er's hand. At this moment, the girl simply let go of her previous restraint. Her eyes were already winking, and her slender hand gently pulled Ni Gu. Er's clothes suddenly lowered his voice and said softly: "Nigur, you are serving in the army, but you have to take care of yourself. If you have troubles, everyone will be sad for you, and I... I will be saddened even more. Yes, do you understand?"
Ni Gu'er only felt elated, seeing the girl in front of him who he had admired for many days, actually showing his intentions like this, only felt dizzy, where else could he have other thoughts
But seeing that Masha suddenly took a step forward, leaned over, next to Ni Gu'er's tall, like a bird and a man, put it up, kissed Ni Gu'er's cheek lightly, and then let go of Ni Gu'er Gul, with a slight smile, turned around and ran into the tavern.
Nigur just felt fascinated, and stood there in a daze for a while before he reacted. Immediately, he had an impulse in his heart to go back with Masha, but after all, he was worried about military affairs, so he finally gritted his teeth, turned on his horse and left.
Along the way, Ni Guer was extremely happy in his heart, he only felt that his body was a little lighter, and he rode his horse and galloped.
Being blown by the evening wind, his mind was also a little clearer.
Although this young man is in love, he is not a fool after all. Masha's change in his attitude before and after, and why, he can vaguely guess in his heart. It's just that a young man like him doesn't have much experience in relationships. Masha is a girl he has admired for many years. Now that he can favor him, it's too late for him to rejoice, so why would he care about anything else
As for whether Masha changed her attitude because of her uncle's sudden promotion, it doesn't seem to be that important to this young man. He even thought innocently in his heart: Even if she values my family background, I will work hard in the future. There will be some achievements, the two will be together for a long time, and there will always be real feelings... Also, it is not a big problem. As long as I can be with her, that's what I can only dream of...
※※※
With joy in his heart, Nigur returned to his residence, and then personally inspected the resting soldiers. He even went up to the city wall to inspect again while he was in high spirits. He returned to the place where he rested under the city, but he couldn't sleep for a long time. Like every young man who has just fallen in love, he is lying on the bed, tossing and turning, just fantasizing about the happy scenes he will have with Masha in the future.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that I felt a little drowsy, and suddenly I heard someone outside, but it was my own guard.
"My lord... someone came to you."
Nigur immediately turned over and sat up. He was having a dream in a daze, and he was swimming hand in hand with Masha. He shouted in a low voice, "The most important place in the army! Who will visit at night! Don't you know the rules!"
The guard outside replied in a low voice: "We can't stop it. The other party said that he is your friend and he is looking for you on something important."
Nigur was puzzled, but he still turned over and got out of bed, put on his coat and came out.
The entire block under the city has been designated as a military restricted area. He followed the guards and walked outside the block. Outside the cordon of the soldiers at the sentry post, a noble carriage stopped there. Standing beside the carriage, standing quietly, when Nigur came, the man turned around.
The moonlight on the man's face made Nigur a little surprised.
It's actually... Gerry!
The former leader of the Four Shows of Wangcheng, Master Ge Li.
Although he used to be just one of his little followers, and although he always made fun of himself, Nigur had to admit that Gerry was one of his few friends. At least in the circle of young aristocrats in the imperial capital, he used to be a minor character, and there were not a few people who were bullied. There were quite a few times when Ge Li came forward to take care of him.
And... Masha was interested in him before, but today Masha is openly getting along with him... As for Gerry, now Nigur feels a sense of guilt instead.
He robbed his friend's woman, this kind of practice seems to be a bit disgraceful.
Gerry came to visit late at night, is he seeking revenge for himself
