Chapter 19: Lisanna's matchmaking
Although the damage to the magic cannon caught the Stoke defenders of Haichao City off guard, it was no joke to capture such a large city.
The soldiers of the Hawke Empire have been angry a lot these days because of the magic cannon. Today, those annoying cannons suddenly went silent, and they naturally pounced on their enemies like hungry wolves.
But even if there was a huge disparity in the strength of the two armies and a huge difference in morale, this siege battle lasted for more than ten hours. The horn for the start of the war was sounded at dawn, and by the time the Hawke Empire cleared the battlefield, it was already midnight. At this time, Haichao City was still quite lively, on the one hand, because the Hawke Empire's army had just entered the city, and things such as camping had to be temporarily resettled. On the other hand, it is also because of the warm welcome of the city's residents.
As mentioned before, Haichao City was originally the city of the Hawk Empire, and most of the residents in the city considered themselves to be the children of the Hawk Empire. And the oppression and bullying of the residents of the city in the past two years when the Stoke Imperial soldiers were stationed is also obvious. Therefore, when the army of the Hawke Empire pressed around Haichao City, it caused a lot of commotion in the city. And when the Hawke Empire really recaptured the city, the residents were naturally very enthusiastic to welcome their country's warriors with local specialties of rice wine and dried fish.
For this reason, General Manhattan also very reasoned and ordered all the Hawke Imperial troops to be given a holiday in batches, in order to recapture Haichao City, they have been fighting for a long time, and now they should rest and rest. Of course, this order will not be carried out until everything is settled in Ocean Tide City.
At this time, some of the soldiers of the Hawk Empire had been stationed in the military camp of the former Stoke Empire in Haichao City, and the other part could only live in the wild due to the capacity of the city.
Originally, Manhattan invited Regner to rest in the city for a few days. But Regner refused, because Kordak's independent brigade was still camped in the field. Regner felt that instead of going to Haichao City to enjoy those comfortable environments, it was better to stay in the wild and follow his boss, he didn't know when he would see Kordak after he left after completing this mission, so he still wanted to stay with Kordak for two more days.
But Regner was destined to have no way to drink with Kordak tonight, because Kordak's independent brigade was also involved in the siege. During the battle, soldiers were killed, wounded, missing, and everything else needed his help. Now Kordak was busy on all fours, and even Vera had followed him and disappeared.
It was Albert, who had nothing to do anyway, and followed Regner back to the barracks after completing his duty of guarding the captives. The two of them first handed over all the captives to the guards to take care of, and then Regner hurried back to Annelot to report the results of his mission.
"Speaking of which, I'm the Director, how did I start reporting to my assistant?" Regner thought a little depressed, in terms of appearance, he was the new director of MI, and Anne Lot joined MIA in the name of assistant to the director. So, under normal circumstances, Anne Lot should have played for Regner.
But Regner is Regner after all, and Anne Lot is Anne Lot. The difference in social status cannot make up for the gap between the two people, and considering the two of them alone, Regner will always be the one in a low position. Because of this, there will be such a thing as Anne Lott moving her mouth and Regner running and breaking her leg.
"Anne, are you asleep?" asked Ragner softly, after countless bloody lessons, Ragner had finally learned to ask before entering Annelot's private space. Otherwise, I happened to meet Anne Lot and happened to take a bath, happened to change sleep, and happened to be like this and that......
Regner shuddered when he thought about it, I heard that the Alchemy Department of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild had accidentally helped Anne Lot's attribute ability awaken the fourth attribute ability after studying the secret of her attribute ability?
"I didn't sleep, come in!" came Annelot's flat voice from the tent.
After getting permission from the girl, Regner walked in. Seeing Regnar arrive, Anne Lot closed her spellbook and placed it in her dimensional pocket.
"Are you reading?" asked Ragner casually.
"I'm trying to study level 9 spells, and I'm already level seventeen now, so it's very necessary to learn to use one or two level 9 spells as my hole cards. Annelot stood up, and then he noticed Regner's blood, and even some small wounds. The Frost Maiden couldn't help but be stunned: "Are you injured?"
"Ah, the scene was so chaotic at that time, I'm afraid that only people of the old man's level could be unscathed. Regner smiled: "But it's not a big deal, it's basically a few small wounds." ”
"......" Anne Lot couldn't help but be stunned when she heard it, and she realized that Regner seemed to have been shuttling through the siege battlefield all day today. She is not an innocent girl who has never seen war, and naturally understands how dangerous and cruel the battlefield is. Originally, Anne Lot just asked Regner to discuss with Manhattan and hand over all the mage captives captured in this siege to her to dispose of, after all, she was just an assistant, and it was a bit inappropriate for such an identity to directly ask a military boss like Manhattan.
But Anne Lot didn't expect that Regner would stupidly run to the battlefield to capture the prisoners in person after getting the promise from Manhattan, what did this guy think?
"I'm just letting you go up and talk to Lord Manhattan......" Annielot whispered.
"I know. Regner grinned, "But if only those warriors are allowed to fight, I'm afraid that a lot of Stoke mages will die there." I've saved a lot of people by going there, and there's a mid-level mage among them!And don't believe it, when I bumped into Uncle Rondo this morning, this guy was looking for a mage on the city wall to cut it down, if I hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid this thing would have been known as a mage killer today!"
"......" Anne Lott was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Take off your clothes." ”
"Huh, this reward is too exciting, it's too sudden, isn't it?"
"I'm just here to help you heal. Anne Lot said lightly.
"That doesn't bother you, does it? There are medics and priests here. And I ran for a day, and my body was dirty and smelly. Regner said embarrassedly.
"Don't be long-winded, I'll help you heal!" Anne Lott seemed impatient, her slender eyebrows furrowed, and her face was a little pink.
"Uh...... Good...... Okay......" Regner was stunned by the girl's attitude, but since people were angry, Regner could only follow her wishes. He awkwardly took off his leather armor jacket and clasped his arms around his chest.
"Yes...... What is there to hide?" Anne Lott finally showed a little embarrassment and nervousness at this time, she deliberately raised her voice a little and said, "I helped you heal when you were injured before, it's all ...... How many times have you seen it...... What's there to hide?"
"The first few times I was in a coma or the situation was urgent, but today this situation is ...... I always think it's weird......" Regna said helplessly.
"Stupid!" said Annelot, irritably, "it's all because of you, and I think it's a little strange now." You'd better go to the priest!"
"Don't, I'm all dressed off, and you just let me go?" Regna looked aggrieved.
"This ...... Alright......" Anne Lott hesitated before agreeing, "But you must not do that again!"
"Okay, okay, no problem!" Regner gritted his teeth, then lowered his hands and stood directly in front of Anne Lot.
"Ahh
"Oops!" Regner was hit by a missile and almost vomited, he slowed down for a long time before he wanted to cry without tears: "Sister, you made me more natural, right?"
"Oh...... Right...... I'm sorry......" said Anne Lott in a weak, inaudible voice.
"Really, I shouldn't have listened to Sister Lisanna...... It feels awkward now!" Anne Lott couldn't help but regret a little.
Indeed, Anne Lot's behavior today is a little strange, not to mention that Regner can see this, in fact, Anne Lott herself can see it. Why did she become like this? Actually, it all has a lot to do with Lisanna.
It may be grateful to Regner for jumping out to speak for himself without scruples, or it may be that he was asked by someone, or he simply can't stand the awkward combination of Annelot and Regner. But whatever the reason, Lisanna had a match between the two when she was studying with Malloret.
With Lisanna's smart mind, she naturally knew that the main problem between the two was Annelot. So Lishana once talked to Annelot a few times with her convenient status as a "disciple of her father".
Of course, the specific content of the conversation does not need to be elaborated, but even Anne Lot has to sigh that Lishana is a very smart girl. Under her painstaking persuasion, Anne Lot's initial unhesitating denial of her feelings for Regner changed to acquiescing to Lisanna's vague statement that "he is different from other men to you".
In the end, Annelot reluctantly listened to several of Lisanna's suggestions. And one of them is: you don't have to be so cold and fierce all the time, and sometimes, it would be very good to show a little tenderness and liveliness.
Maybe it's the effect of Regner's injury before!Anne Lott always remembered this advice from Lisanna tonight. This sentence swirled in the Frost Maiden's mind for an unknown number of times, and finally Anne Lot reluctantly tried it according to this advice. And now it seems that such an attempt is very stupid......
