Lenia felt as if she had gone back in time.

It's back to the days when my parents had just passed away due to an accident, and I was infinitely sad that I was determined to become a legendary warrior, and I practiced masochistic practice in order to inherit it.

Her petite figure kept repeating the action of stabbing and slashing in the training ground, tempering every ounce of her fighting spirit until she could no longer squeeze a single bit.

The exhaustion of doing everything I could hadn't felt in years.

The dazzling sunlight shone through the curtains that were blown up by the breeze from time to time, shone on her closed eyes.

Let her slowly wake up from dreams and memories.

The soft cushions and slight jolting sensation underneath her made her realize that she was now lying on top of a speeding carriage.

And his lord was dozing off the side of the carriage, his head nodding.

Memories of her pre-coma flooded into her mind, making her understand something about her current situation.

So she began to struggle slightly, trying to stand up.

Duke was awakened by her small movements, and looked ahead a little blankly, with little focus in his eyes.

The previous distraction to suppress the negative invasion of the witchcraft spell seal had consumed too much of his mind.

"Ah, you're awake!"

After a long while, Duke noticed the chief knight who was not ** points, smiled and patted her on the head, signaling her not to move.

"My lord, please allow me to go out and straighten out the army now, there should be a lot of things to deal with in the future. ”

Lenia stopped moving, but protested quietly.

"Don't worry, I've got everything in place, and we'll be back to the territory soon. ”

Duke shook his head, smiling and comforting Lenia.

Lenia was silent for a moment, then finally stopped talking and lay down on the mat strangely.

"Baron Rhein, how's it going?"

After a moment of silence, she couldn't help but ask what happened after she fell unconscious.

Hearing this, Duke's face became a little serious, and he noticed that things seemed to be going in a direction that he had not expected, and it was a little difficult to deal with.

'He's in a very strange state right now, you know, you gave him the final blow. Duke gestured at the position of his neck, "but there was no blood coming out of his wound, and he was still in such good condition that he was not even unconscious." ”

"I think he may have tried to practice some kind of evil art, and his vindictive spirit is very strange. Lenia thought for a moment and said her guess, "And his strength has also increased abnormally, and the whole person seems to have turned into a monster." ”

Duke nodded in agreement with Lenia's statement, after all, Baron Rhine's uncommon blood-red fighting aura was too eye-catching.

And the explosive muscles and terrifying fangs that suddenly appeared.

All of this made him think that it might be some kind of abnormal power that could only be obtained through some kind of cult ritual.

Thinking of this, he pressed his chest again, feeling that this strange energy scurrying around his body was also a cult ritual to some extent.

"What are you going to do next, what are you going to do with him?"

Lenia's voice interrupted Duke's thoughts once more, pulling him back to reality.

"Shut him up first, because of the aristocratic regulations, I am obliged to ensure his safety until it is determined that he has colluded with the cultists. ”

Duke spread his hands, this decadent era really has too many privileges for the aristocracy.

At this time, it is no exaggeration to say that war is a large-scale aristocratic game, and it is always the ordinary people who are low-level soldiers who are killed and injured.

The aristocracy, as the leader and commander, was often able to rely on unwritten so-called rules to exchange money and resources for the qualification to live, and even enjoyed extremely favorable aristocratic treatment from beginning to end.

Although Duke wants to break this system without any fairness, his strength is not guaranteed to turn against all the aristocratic classes of this era.

So he still couldn't try something to tease their bottom line.

"That's fine, I'm afraid you'll do something irrational. Lenia breathed a sigh of relief, "If we can't kill him on the battlefield with dignity, we'll have to keep him safe." ”

Duke looked at Lenia, who gritted her teeth because she regretted not making up another sword to send Baron Rhine to see her ancestors, and felt a little funny for a while.

In fact, in addition to not being able to obviously do harmful actions to Baron Rhine, there are many ways to do it without responsibility, even if you don't use the system itself.

For example, transfer the negative effects on his body to him, and then announce his evil magic to the public, so that there is no proof of death.

However, transferring the negative effects to animals many times has already made him feel a little guilty, and now it is still a bit of a psychological obstacle for him to transfer it to people.

"Okay, the matter of Baron Rhine is not the main thing, let's take this matter step by step, anyway, we can't afford to lose. ”

Duke changed to a more comfortable position, half-lying in the carriage, and told Lenia what he planned to do next.

"Although we won a big victory this time, some soldiers were still killed and wounded, so we must do a good job of cleaning up the aftermath, and we will catch it yourself when you have rested. ”

Hearing this, Lenia's face also darkened slightly, and she answered in a low voice.

Although there were less than 100 enemies in the later stage, and most of them had a nervous breakdown, the inexperienced recruits were still not experienced enough in the face of the desperate enemy, and paid the price of a few lives.

"The other is that I'm going to go on a tour of the Barony of Connaughton after a two-day break, and investigate what Baron Rhein has done over the years, and maybe I'll be able to find some clues. ”

"I've sent some soldiers to rescue Joseph, and Joseph will help us with some preliminary preparations. ”

Duke unhurriedly said his second plan, and Lenia nodded solemnly.

"And ......"

Duke continued to talk about his plans, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, and he discussed with Lenia the problems he had discovered about the army in recent times.

It wasn't until Lenia's eyes revealed fatigue that he realized that the chief knight in front of him was already exhausted and needed quiet recuperation.

"Alright, that's all for now, you can continue to rest, and we'll make other plans when we return to the territory. ”

He rearranged the cloak that had been draped over Lenia and said softly.

Lenia didn't say anything more, nodded in agreement, and soon tilted her head and fell asleep.

Duke stared at the roof of the car and pondered his plans for the future, and for a moment the interior fell silent again.
