"Did Ms. Nimesis found it?" Leto asked in a tired voice when he opened his eyes again. The continuous fighting made the veteran of the November War feel a little unable to hold it, after all, he was already in his old age and was no longer brave.
The people in the room shook their heads in silence. Most of them have experienced the battle for many years. As the lucky ones who survived that battle, almost everyone is a warrior with many battles. .
"The last time we saw Ms. Nimesis was north of Fort Mintai. After the rebels captured there, a wizard blocked our way, and then the rebels blocked our contact with the north gate."
"Is there still fighting in the north gate direction?"
"The rebels have surrounded the area."
"Have you tried to attack?"
"I have tried, but the rebels have put in amazing forces there, and our manpower is far from enough, boss."
"The rebels are so tight on this place, which means that Ms. Nimesis may still be alive. We must find a way to rescue her." Reto knocked on the dusty table and set the tone. Almost all present were there. It's his old buddy, he doesn't have to be polite.
"But..." Everyone in the room was embarrassed. If conditions permit, of course they will rescue the commander at all costs. However, even the troops to defend Mintai’s main castle are not enough now, and there is no need to deploy manpower to support other places.
"That lady knight is from the princess, but Fort Mintai is the lord's property. We are the lord's vassals. Are we really going to abandon this fortress for her?"
A voice in the corner asked weakly.
Reto glanced in that direction and shook his head: "Guys," he said, "Do you really think that our lord value Tonigel this place? Can you still not see it? Lord lord has great ambitions, don’t Speaking of Tonigel and the fir collar, I am afraid that even Eruin would not take him seriously."
"Think about it, if someone like Lord Lord agreed to the invitation of the female captain of Cruz to join the empire, would his status and status be comparable to that of Count Tonigel? What he did in Eruin , He brought us here from Braggs and overthrew the rule of the damn Baron Grudin and his lackeys. What is it for?"
Reto looked at his old fellows one by one, "Did you not find out? The lord never let us swear allegiance to him, because what he didn't want was to be another Prince Anlek. I was I have heard him talking with His Royal Highness and Miss Antitina in private. I think what a few adults want is what we have longed for in the long war-a truly complete and unaffected by others. Eruin standing on Vaughn at the mercy of him."
"Guys," he said softly: "We were born in Braggs, but Tonigel is indeed our second hometown, but compared to this, we have another identity in common. Don't forget, we It's Eruin's soldiers. At this time, we should abandon those selfish interests even more. We are the subordinates of Lord Earl, so we should stand up to prove that the Lord is honorable."
Reto pointed to the battlefield outside the perforation, and replied: "If each of us conveys the faith of Lord Earl, when this belief extends to the entire Eruin, everyone in this kingdom will be deeply rooted. When we think so, our ideals, the ideals of Lord Earl and Her Royal Highness, are also realized."
There was silence in the house.
"Can we do something like that?"
"Yeah, this is too much trouble. It sounds like a headache. Boss, are you sure that this is something we elders can do? That is something that civil officials and noble lords need to worry about?"
"But boss, when did you become so saucy, haha."
The laughter seemed to be contagious, and everyone in the room soon laughed. Reto himself smiled and shook his head, and said with a smile, "Shut up, you damn idiots. Anyway, I was also a noble knight, like Mano, and I was my attendant back then. Follow you vulgar guys, I Even my old business is lost. Okay, stop talking nonsense, you are right, we are the lord’s retainers, but since we are the lord’s retainers, we have to implement the lord’s will, so Nimesis Madam, if you are not saved, you are also saved."
Although everyone was joking, Reto made a decision, and no one dared to object. People left the room in an orderly manner and began to summon their subordinates, as if returning to the years before decades ago, it was nothing more than fighting. For the veterans, it was as natural as eating and drinking.
…
"you're awake?"
When Nimesis awoke from the groggy state, she saw a familiar face.
It was a beautiful young girl. She had long, narrow and bright eyes, slightly narrowed, and her pupils were dark, like ink. The girl's skin is the kind of snow white that is not like human beings, and it is as delicate as jade. She has long ebony hair like a waterfall, and her hair reflects light like stars in the night sky. But Nimesse's full attention was attracted by the dark gem on the opponent's forehead-it was a long, narrow, diamond-shaped black crystal.
The girl blushed with some irritation, followed the female knight's gaze, recalling the humiliation of the gem on her forehead, and snorted coldly.
"Kou Hua...?"
Nimesis was taken aback by her hoarse voice. She remembered the things that had happened in Rusita, and she hesitated for a moment before she said: "Where is this, has Mintai fallen? I am you now. Prisoner of? After you left Rusita, you also took refuge in the Buga, or did they really merge with the Dragon of Twilight?"
"I haven't fallen to the same situation as those Sasalders," Hei Kouhua replied with some annoyance: "You woman is really annoying. Like that guy, don't mortals even have any sense of courtesy, righteousness, or shame." Okay, I saved your life."
"You're back again...?" Nimesse was stunned: "Thank you..."
There was a scream of breaking through the air from outside, the stone bullet of the catapult hit somewhere not far away, the house shook for a while, and the dust fell down.
Nimesis felt for a moment in silence, and then asked: "So it’s still Mintai here. How long have I been in a coma? Are they still resisting, Mr. Reto, Miss Kouhua, can you take me to the municipal government? hall?"
"I advise you not to hold this delusion, and I am not obligated to serve you," Hei Kouhua said grumpily, "You got your life back purely because of good luck. If it wasn't for this guy, even if it was me in time. Arrived, you were also dead at the time."
Nimesis noticed that there was a young man behind Kou Hua. When she saw him, she couldn't help but was taken aback, because that man was Overwell's second son, and that man left Mintai Fort early in the morning. Young knight looking for information.
The young man noticed Nimesis’s look, and quickly stood up, and said anxiously: "Miss Nimesis, I know you are very suspicious that I still have my father, but I assure you, my father he It is absolutely impossible to betray Her Royal Highness, there must be something else hidden in it."
He hesitated, gritted his teeth and replied: "I can pledge my life!"
Nimesis rubbed her painful forehead, and finally recalled what had happened before the coma, when she almost thought that she had died in the hands of the monster. But it seems that after she was in a coma, a lot of things happened.
"I... shouldn't I be dead?"
Nimesis subconsciously touched the wound on her chest. The sword wound was still there, almost piercing her chest and abdomen. That sword should have pierced her heart.
"You really should have died. This penetrating injury penetrates your heart. For any mortal, this is an injury that cannot be more deadly."
Dark Kouhua stopped.
"But the strange thing is that you are still alive. Don't ask me why, because I don't know, maybe your Master Martha saved your life."
Nimesis was silent for a moment, and there was a faint feeling in her heart that she couldn't catch it, but she couldn't say it.
"In addition, this guy desperately rescued you from those monsters," Dark Kouhua continued, "Otherwise I don't have this ability. Those monsters are the minions of the Twilight Dragon. We call them the Neng Clan. No one can really kill them except for the unique imprinted weapons of the goddess of war."
"Hey, even the Neng people have reappeared now. I really don't know why my mother is optimistic about you. It's just a small human kingdom. You can't deal with it whether it's the Sasald or the minions of the Twilight Dragon. "
Nimesis sighed and said to the young man: "I can trust you, but you can't guarantee your father. In any case, everything that happened here is Mr. Overwell's responsibility. Shirk responsibility."
"No," the young man shook his head, "Miss Nimesse, my father may have something wrong with him."
"what?"
"Since His Royal Highness and Prince Haruze left Tonigel, my father has sent me letters every week, on the one hand to let me know about the situation between Jean Denell and Lantonilan, and on the other hand to keep in touch. But I haven't received a letter from my father for more than a week. At first I didn't think there was anything, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen..."
The young man replied with a little annoyance and a little worry: "It's all to blame, Miss Nimesses. If I had been alert earlier, maybe this wouldn't happen, my father..."
