Yesterday night, "Count Lambert" and Anna received the news in the City Lord's Mansion that the entire "Sky Wind" mercenary group led by Sask requested to enter the city, and under the effect of that warrant, all the mercenaries currently used have entered the city of Ensada -

They were placed in a barracks on Mink Street. This barracks is located on a different part of the city than the city lord's mansion.

It used to be the base camp of a Rock Legion, but after the "Fog Pine War", this legion moved to a new station, just in time, there was a vacant place.

And in Ensada City, there are many more places like this - in order to facilitate the training of new soldiers, many military establishments have been transferred to other places in the territory, such as the former knight training camp Morin, the gray leaf hills in the south of Ensada, and so on.

Anna stood in front of Sask, who glanced up and lowered his head. He was aware of the close relationship between Lord Anna and the Earl, and did not dare to do anything inappropriate.

"Sask, about the attack on Talen, have you made a battle plan now?"

Anna asked, her voice cold, her usually magnetic voice, which seemed to take on a hint of hoarseness at this time—but Sask's attention was not a detail, he thought for a moment, and quickly replied.

"The end determines the means. If we are only trying to contain them, we should first choose the mines and lumber yards......"

"No, no—Sask, that's not what I want."

While Sask's statement was being made, the Count suddenly expressed his disagreement with his statement, and his gaze was fixed on Sask's face, a pair of eyes, which finally rested on the tip of the white nose:

"As I said, I'm going to teach those guys a heavy enough lesson. Sask, can you see what I mean? ”

After Sask's entry into the city last night, Sask's and Anna's had already met in the city lord's mansion, and Anna delivered a military deployment map of the Talon region to Sask, and then gave Sask's carte blanche to make the battle plan this time-

A commission from Lord Earl.

It was Anna's proposal, and she had said that this guy had a fairly trustworthy tactical acumen.

"Count Lambert" did not know where his sister Anna Arabella had learned about these things, but out of his usual trust, he took Anna's advice as he could.

With Sask as the main commander of this war.

"That'...... If we attack towns and the like, our strength is a little weak. ”

It's just a slight euphemism, but what Sask said is exactly the same as what the two knights say—

Eyes crossed in the air, and "Count Lambert" snorted heavily from his nose, as if to express a strong dissatisfaction, staring at Sasker's beautiful dark red eyes, gradually sharpening -

It's like an unsheathed blade.

Sask's eyes flickered, as if he was dodging this seemingly stern gaze.

"Lord Earl, if we barely attack those towns, we simply won't have enough time, because they are very close to the Talon Fortress, and the Knights stationed in the fortress are our extremely dangerous enemies......"

Sask's answer was a little cautious at first, but as his thoughts were expressed one by one, his words quickly became fluid:

"Even if you get lucky, the heavy price to pay is probably unacceptable."

"Unacceptable? Are you worried about casualties? Sask! ”

"Yes, Lord Count."

"But what if I don't care?"

"Count Lambert," said faintly, and it was only then that Sask suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the Earl—he was not breathing when he spoke!

With this hint of doubt in his mind, Sask had a guess for a moment, but he didn't try to verify it, he turned his head slightly to look at Anna, who was nodding slightly at him.

"You can give it a try."

Sask gritted his teeth, and finally replied—"Count Lambert" smiled with satisfaction, and he raised his glass again, swallowed a small sip of wine, and put it back on his desk.

"Good. Well, I hope Saskar you don't let me down. On top of that, the three knights, Rodriguez, Matthew, and Kenneth, will also be acting with you, and you can mobilize them. ”

"I see, Lord Count."

"Let's go as soon as possible!"

……

When Sask's departure from the room, and the sound of footsteps faded from the spiral staircase in the attic, the smile on the face of "Count Lambert" suddenly retracted, and he approached Anna and hugged her plump waist—

"Sister, do you really think this guy is worth believing in us?"

The earl regained his somewhat immature boyish voice, and his eyes looked at the pretty side face, and his eyes were full of confusion—

"He's someone from Rosenthal."

"You mean, he's a subordinate of Mr. Lich?"

"It can be understood that way."

"Well, that's a strange statement. Sister, are you still hiding something? ”

"Concealment? Arnold, now that this is the case, what else is there to hide? You know, there's no turning back. ”

"Hahaha, that's right! The hatred of the Arabella family needs this filthy blood to wash away. ”

……

After spending the night in White Pigeon Village, Gross and his party, together with Stewart, his wife Lacey, and daughter Rhona, set off together in the hazy morning fog, preparing to leave the village in the Tallon region-

The villagers had already learned of Stewart's intentions, and they stood at the intersection of the village and waved goodbye, and enthusiastically put some bacon, dried fruits, and other specialties into the carriage full of all kinds of miscellaneous goods, and the village elder Sally, with a wooden stick, accompanied by his two sons, Pinto and Zeta, came to the carriage and chatted with Stewart.

"Stewart, are you going home? If my age doesn't make my mind a mess, I remember that your hometown is in the Tatos Hills of Yahi, where I visited when I was younger, and the girls of that place loved to put bright flowers in their hair, and they were very enthusiastic......"

Old Sully recalled the good old days, and couldn't help but sigh -

Although his body was already old, his spirit was still very good, and Stewart and Gross did not interrupt, but stood quietly aside. After a few minutes of staccato talking, his mouth closed and closed with a few teeth, he ordered his two sons to bring a heavy old wooden box.
