Chapter 556: Commander (3)
Loria rubbed her eyes and woke up from a nightmare where she lay in the basement where Renault had imprisoned her, continuing the dream that haunted her - in which she was sold to work in a distant other world to pay off her debts because she couldn't pay it back.
She finally knew why people said that the heavy cavalry was very expensive.
She wanted to return it, but sending someone to Xueman to negotiate with the Imperial merchants didn't lead to it - they were only willing to buy the second-hand equipment at a discount, and it was better to keep it than that...... At least when you are desperate, you still have the capital to pay for it.
But when I thought of suddenly incurring a huge debt, I couldn't help but want to hide under the quilt and cry.
Simply turn against the Empire and lead the Crusaders to destroy them!Loria jumped up from the bed, she even had the courage to fight against an Empire in order not to pay back!
Later, she pulled down her little head and sat on the edge of the bed as if she had lost her soul.
Reputation, which is more important than the life of a businessman, cannot be abandoned!
War is a game of burning money, and it is better for her to adapt to the life of debt...... Damn, at least in the beginning, some financial means should be used to make the debt in the name of the Scarlet Crusaders!
She's about to start shedding like Ahri!
She briefly became the head of the Council of Tirisfa, but it was much easier to be the titular leader of a loose organization of six than to manage a thousand or so, and she had to worry about the vampires spreading too quickly and injuring ordinary people while covering their tracks to prevent her companions from being discovered, she had to consider all sorts of military builds, and she had to make her own choices after listening to a whole bunch of opinions that seemed to make sense but were diametrically opposed, and she had to worry about whether everyone was well fed and clothed, whether they were treated fairly, and whether they were resentful of her…… Now, she still has to keep in mind that large amount of debt!
But there are some good things happening, maybe because I've been too busy lately. It had been a long time since she had experienced nightmares—not nightmares of debt, but nightmares that were unusually real.
She wandered the almost lightless underground, first as a warehouse, then as a secret prison, and more recently, Loria had it turned into an office. Thinking that the restoration of the nearby chapel should be completed, she patted her face, casually put a piece of clothing on her pajama jacket, and decided to go out for a walk.
By dawn, the garden was empty, the chapel was now functional, and the area around it had been let down of guard, and Loria could not remember who was in charge of the guard, but could not remember - the management was still chaotic. I don't know if it was a mistake at work or someone was lazy, there was no one patrolling here at all.
She felt the urge to leave a qiē and run away, but it quickly subsided, and she reviewed her recent state and came to the conclusion that Renault and his brutal rule had been at the heart of everyone's lives for a long time, suddenly giving people the possibility of freedom. Of course, it can be uncomfortable and confusing.
Time will always smooth out, and she believes that she will definitely bring a better life to her compatriots...... Take it easy. She secretly rejected several of the radical tactics she was scheduled to execute...... Let's go see another big annoyance.
The dense buildings of the Scarlet Monastery are full of alleys and strange doors, and if you had not lived here for a long time and had the power to move freely, you would not have been able to figure out these complicated routes, let alone the secret doors with different functions hidden in inconspicuous corners, even the architectural style here fits the unique atmosphere of the Crusaders - eerie and terrifying.
Many people were reluctant to support her policy of 'indulgence', and the nobles who had initially stood by her side were particularly vehemently opposed...... And they are not wrong in what they say, the crusaders are armies. Monasteries are fortresses, and outside the walls are full of terrifying monsters, and relaxing yourself is tantamount to self-destruction.
Alas......
She felt a sense of powerlessness, the environment around her limited everyone, if only this was a rich and peaceful land.
However, it is barren and dangerous. For many years it has carried a population that it simply cannot feed.
If only we could move people living in the mountains out of the country...... But the Crusaders also lost their most important soldiers...... Putting them in the open sky will only allow them to escape, if there is a rich but isolated place......
She's pinching her face, and lately she's been wondering 'what if...... It's good's sentence structure, most of which are unrealistic delusions, and there are no conditions for realization at all...... She walked into a narrow cul-de-sac and knocked on the dirty, crumbling black wooden door.
First the sound of the dog barking, then the old scolding, and then the wicked-looking old man opened the door, and the hound that followed him barked even louder, and it was evident that neither the man nor the dog welcomed her coming.
For a moment, Loria wanted to bury them all.
Ignoring the old man's angry yelling and the dog, who hated her but did not dare to come near her, he pushed the table away with ease, opened a secret door and went underground.
There are also many supporters of Renault hidden in the army, who are neither coerced nor have a grudge against Loria, but simply agree with Renault's approach - in order to destroy the undead, he should be treated with cruelty.
She didn't bother to reason with those guys whose heads were filled with hatred, but she also had to prevent them from doing some excesses...... Hmph, who would go near that annoying and dangerous one-eyed old man?
At the end of the tunnel, the burly Mills nodded to her and retreated into the cave, making way for Loria's petite size to pass through Guò.
The passage narrowed and widened, and after several locks had been lifted, a small room at the end was filled with delicate weapons and piles of gold coins, but Loria paid no attention to them, muttering to herself who had come up with the idea to hide it so closely...... She walked over to a newly built wall and stood still, then melted into the mist and burrowed into the fingertip-sized holes.
The murky air made her a little sick, and Mills cleaned it on time, but she couldn't expect the rough man with the same talent as Loria to clean it up.
Dim torches hung on the walls, providing the most basic light for the chamber, and Loria didn't need them, but the people here probably did...... She approached a man lying motionless on the ground, and a sour smell came over her face.
Well...... After all, not everyone can go home and take a shower every day like her, even in detention.
Loria took two steps back slightly, put on an innocent smile, and shouted softly:
"Uncle, I've come to visit you. (To be continued.) )
