With Alexander's command and the support of Annelot's powerful magic, the battle to capture the fortress of Costa went quite smoothly.

The barbarians who came down from the icy plateaus of the north were not good at climbing and jumping because of their huge size, but now that Annelot has carved out a smooth avenue for them. After that, the barbarians poured into the Costa Fortress like a herd of wild horses running wild.

I don't know if it's nature or culture, every barbarian behaves like a bloodthirsty beast on the battlefield. They rushed into the battlefield almost with the mentality of going to die, and with the sophisticated weapons and equipment delivered from the dark regions, these berserk fellows often escaped with their lives. Some of the red-eyed barbarians were surprised to find that they had only suffered some skin injuries after the battle, and according to their previous experience of fighting on the Ice and Snow Plateau, it was very normal for a battle to be so fierce that even if they lacked arms and legs.

The battle against the fortress of Costa continued until noon the next day. Although the Stokers themselves knew that the few thousand defenders in the fortress alone could not withstand the iron hooves of the Hawk Empire, they never imagined that the collapse of the Costa Fortress would be so fast.

It was less than five days from Alexander's arrival to the time the city was breached? Of course, this is also inseparable from Annelot's credit, if it weren't for her genius imagination and clever use of magic to destroy the walls of Costa Fortress, last night's battle would have been quite stalemate.

By the evening of the next day, the Hawke Empire had once again regained control of the Costa Fortress. Many soldiers with eagle insignia began to clean up the battlefield there, and in some places the barbarians were arguing over the loot, but after seeing the human soldiers staring at them, they could only choose a peaceful solution.

The students brought by Anne Lot were assigned to their rooms and began to eat and meditate. Alexander was very kind to arrange a guard at the door of each student's room.

The reason why the second prince wants to do this is to protect the personal safety of the students, although the Hawk Empire has completely occupied the Costa Fortress, but no one dares to guarantee that there are still warriors or assassins of the Stoke Empire in any dark corner, mages without magic power are weaker than ordinary people, these students have fought all night, and they are at their weakest, and it is very necessary to protect them.

The second is to be able to provide services to the students at any time, and Alexander knows that these students are all participating in such a bloody and brutal war for the first time. Even if they can force themselves to throw a few fireballs out of their own volition during the battle, after the battle is over, psychological shadows will gradually appear as the situation calms down. At this time, they may need counseling, and these battle-hardened veterans can help them. Of course, all the knights of the Golden Eagle Knights that he was familiar with when arranging the guards were all selected by Alexander, at least he knew which of these people were delicate and able to enlighten others.

In the end, this can be regarded as Alexander's overture to Annelot in disguise. After last night's battle, Alexander's opinion of Anne Lot was a little higher. Now, Anne Lot's position in Alexander's mind has gone from perfection to omnipotence. Alexander felt that such a woman, if not completely used by him, at least could never become his enemy. Therefore, he must do all the details well in order to completely put his mind at ease.

Annelot nodded to the guards at the door, and then said, "Hello, I'm Annelot, and I want to meet the children inside." ”

"Your Excellency has given you permission to come and go wherever you want, please come in!" Because of Alexander's explanation, the guards seemed quite talkative.

"Vomit...... Hmm......" Iniris vomited into the toilet bowl. In fact, she started vomiting half an hour after she came in to rest, and now she has been vomiting for more than an hour. Not to mention the food, Innellis now feels like she has even vomited up her stomach acid.

......In the end, Iniris could only retch, but the nausea was still coming up, and she couldn't leave the toilet at all.

A magical light lit up on Inniris's body, and when the magic infiltrated Inniris's body, the little girl suddenly felt that her mind was much clearer, and the vomiting sensation in her stomach was lighter.

Innellis looked back in surprise, and then saw Annelot looking at her with pity at the door.

"Sister Anne......" The little girl's eyes were a little evasive, as if she didn't want Anne Lot to see the ugliness of lying on the toilet and vomiting wildly.

"There's no need to hide it, Ini. Annelot walked over slowly, touched Enilis's little head and said, "Many students are vomiting just like you, and people who experience war for the first time will behave like this. ”

"But......" Iniris was a little disappointed: "I thought I would be stronger than them......"

"It's just a normal physiological reaction, and it has nothing to do with being strong or not, just like even the strongest person needs to eat. Anne Lott explained, she looked at Inriris, and said, "Also, Innie, I think you've fallen into a misunderstanding. ”

"What?" the little girl tilted her head in confusion.

"I'm not hitting you, I'm just trying to make you understand that you're not stronger than others. Anne Lot continued: "You just work harder and harder than everyone else." That's why you're better than everyone else. ”

"But ......" The little girl's eyes darkened, she knew that what Annelot said was the truth, if it wasn't for her own confusion to poison Annelot, it caused a mental storm. She couldn't even release a magic missile right now.

"When I say this, I don't mean to negate your efforts. Annelot continued, "I just don't want you to be left alone with too much stuff on your back. You're too small after all. ”

"But I really want to be strong!" "I want to show Brother Regna that I'm also very good." ”

"......" Annelot was stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly smiled: "Little fool." ”

"Huh?" said Iniris looked up, puzzled.

"That guy already knew your hard work, your excellence. Anne Lott replied with a smile.

"But if that's the case, why did Brother Regna delay until the day of the annual meeting......"

"That's the idiot's own indecision, not your problem. Annelot replied without hesitation, she wondered why Regner had been so slow to mention the fiancée to Inniles, and if Regner had used procrastination on Innellis in order to accommodate her emotions, then Innellis would have been the one to be hurt. But in this case, how can she, Annelot, live in peace?

That's the most infuriating thing about that damn guy, always trying to find a way to get the best of both worlds. But in the end, the result will always be to take care of one thing and the other, so that everyone is hurt.

At this time, Innellis was still young and didn't know much about this, so Annelot could only comfort her as much as possible: "He has always cared about you! ”

"Really?"

"Don't you still believe your sister, and besides, hasn't he promised you everything now? What do you still have to doubt?" said Annelot, laughing, and scratching Innilis's nose.

"In that case...... the little girl rolled her eyes, as if she had made up her mind.

"What are you thinking, little girl?" Annielot looked at Iniris with some surprise as her face turned red for a moment, and couldn't help but be a little curious.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing!" Enilis hurriedly shook her head, and, in order to avoid Anne Lot's questioning, the little girl was very clever enough to change the subject: "By the way, Sister Anne, there is something I want to ask you. ”

"What?" Anne Lott didn't think much of it.

"Sister Annie, how on earth did you manage to do so much? Actually, until now, I think what happened last night is incredible...... "Innellis asked seriously.

Anne Lott thought for a moment, then replied with some unparalleled confidence, "Because ...... I never thought about what I couldn't do. I just think about what I need to do, and then I'll do it, and then I can do it. ”

......

"Your Excellency. Lisana knocked softly on the door of Alexander's room, although she knew that it was not too good to disturb Alexander at this time, but she felt that she could not stand this torment anymore, if she did not make a quick decision, she was afraid that she would regret it, and after regretting, she would become a useless person to stay by Alexander's side, and when the time came, it would be endless torture and torment......

"Lisanna, come in!" Alexander's voice came through the room.

The second prince looked at Lishana, and then said with some apologies: "I'm sorry, Lishana, I'm too busy today, so I don't have time to see you." What do you have?"

"That's the kind of adult...... Lisanna took out the resignation report she had just hastily written, and then hesitantly put it on Alexander's desk: "I...... I'm going to resign......"
