140 It is said that the coalition forces always have two or five boys (4500 words)

The doors of the monastery were closed, and the sunlight in the interior was dimmed, and even the monastery, which is known for its dark environment, did not change the concept of light, probably because Achilles and Atalanta blocked some of the doors and windows.

Larry walked slowly to the center of the hall on the first floor of the monastery, surrounded by a very ordinary arrangement, rows of benches, a statue of God standing at the end of the hall, and a stained glass drawing of the statue of God that decorated it, with eight large columns supporting the vault above, and several candles on each column.

But no one existed, which was very strange, and according to what the people outside had just said, there must have been a lot of children and old people in the monastery.

This made Larry look upstairs, the main body of the monastery was usually a whole hall, and the upstairs was at most a few rooms for priests and nuns to rest, so it seemed that the children and the old people might have been taken to a certain room.

"It doesn't matter if you're from Rome or not, if you're here to negotiate and not to duel, hand over your weapons, I don't have the heart to target a man who doesn't have the fighting spirit."

Achilles walked up behind Ryry, looked at the holy sword and scabbard on his back, and with his qualifications as a demigod hero, he probably already sensed the special features of this weapon.

"Well, Mr. Achilles, Larry must have no ill will, please don't do this to him." At this time, Lily, who was not actually threatened in any way, came over and stopped Achilles' actions.

"Do you know this guy?" Achilles looked at Lily, and then at Larry with some suspicion.

"Well, of course I know, but I'm curious how you guys talk to each other, as for this weapon...", Larry took the holy sword and scabbard off his back and handed it to Lily.

"Larry? It's ....."

"Send your weapon, you can take it first, so that our big hero will have less trouble." Larry smiled slightly, then turned and walked to the benches, and sat down naturally, completely unaware of being in an enemy position.

"Big hero? How dare you say that. Achilles' eyes looking at Layry were not very kind, but rather a little fierce, after all, the whispering between the two just now had already made him understand that Layry knew where Achilles' weaknesses were.

As the son of Thetis, the goddess of the sea, and the hero Paleus, Achilles was born with a different manager, including his mother, Thetis, the goddess of the sea, who took him to bathe in the waters of the River Styx, thus gaining an invulnerable body, thus becoming the hero of Greek mythology second only to Hercules.

It's just that this invulnerable body does have an Achilles' heel, that is, when her mother took him to bathe in the water of the River Styx, in order to prevent him from being swept away by the current, she grabbed his ankle, and that was the only place that was not immersed in the water of the River Styx, which also became the only weakness of Achilles.

The mythical Achilles died of an arrow in the ankle, so after hearing someone say his Achilles' heel, even the belligerent and bold Achilles couldn't help but be wary of Larry.

After all, the other party is aware of their weaknesses, and weaknesses like ankles are not something that can be guessed by just talking.

However, this also indirectly shows that Larry is not hostile to them, otherwise, as long as this weakness is told to the knights outside, then Achilles will have to be distracted to protect his ankles in the next battle, and in that case, it will inevitably make his concentration in the battle drop a few points.

And Larry didn't do this, which shows that he does have the idea of negotiating, but he doesn't know what he, a self-proclaimed Roman, intends to say.

At this time, Atalanta, who was still drawing a bow in the bell tower just now, had already touched the stairs and walked down the stairs without making any sound, if it wasn't for Larry's corner of the eye to catch a glimpse of the other party, it is estimated that she would not have known that she was coming.

The huntress came down without saying a word, but drew her bow again at a very close range, pointed the arrow at Ryry, and asked, "Who are you?" What do you want to do? ”

Larry raised his hand to stop Lily, who was about to defend herself, then looked at Atalanta, and said, "Miss Atalanta, your love for children is really stronger than any character I've ever seen, but this is not necessarily a good thing, and in terms of such a thoughtless action, it is really not a wise choice to act separately from the French army." ”

Although negotiation is Leyry's main purpose, if he is in a weak position before that, it will be difficult to say words that convince the other party, so he does not mention that he must overwhelm the other party in momentum, at least not by the momentum of the other party, Larry's response is to face Atalanta very indifferently.

Larry's words caused Atalanta to blink a few times, probably not expecting his opening words to be like this.

"Ah, by the way, Miss Artoria, how the hell did you talk, you don't think you've known each other for a long time, right? After all, there is still a distance between Britain and Greece, and what makes it possible for you to talk so normally? Without waiting for the other three to answer, Larry immediately held out a finger. Well, let me speculate. ”

Hearing Larry say this, Atalanta immediately grabbed the bowstring, and it seemed that the huntress did not intend to be confused by Larry's words.

"Rest assured, Miss Atalanta, I'm sure I'm not going to tempt you with a golden apple, and of course, I don't have that kind of thing myself, I just want to talk to you two in a calm way, ..... A Roman identity. ”

"Hmm....", Larry's words struck Atalanta's pain, which made her begin to change her attitude towards Ryry.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Casting the same puzzled gaze, there is also Achilles on the side, and Larry's current actions are very curious no matter what.

Even Lily, who was a little confused, was doing what Larry was doing at the moment.

"I said, it's just a small inference, as I just said, Britain is far from Greece, even farther than Rome is from here, and with what I know about Miss Artoria these days, I don't think you will know each other for a long time, in that case, it is only possible that you have only known and spoken recently."

"First of all, judging from your behavior, it is actually clear what you two are so eye-catching to break into Britain, if Achilles is to find a strong opponent and accompany the eldest sister, then Miss Atalanta, you are here to protect the children, right?"

"That's why you kicked out the nuns and priests and refugees here, but at this time, Lily who happened to be in the convent stood in front of you, so there was such a conversation."

As he spoke, Larry held out his hands, one to Atalanta and the other to Lily.

"'If you don't want to die, get out of here and let go of the children behind you.'" This is supposed to be what Miss Atalanta said. With that, Larry waved her right hand.

"'What do you want to do with these kids?' That's what Artoria said. Larry waved his left hand.

"'Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything to these kids, I just want you to stay away from them.'" ”

"'No, you don't want to do anything to these kids!' ”

With a snap, Larry high-fived her hands.

"In short, the two of them are holding the idea of protecting the children at the same time, but they are arguing with each other, and they are even about to fight, I guess there is some sudden intersection in the conversation between the two, so that both sides understand each other's thoughts, which makes the two of you cooperate like old acquaintances."

Larry smiled and looked at Achilles, who also started snickering.

"I'm right, Achilles, you should be the one who witnessed all this."

"Ah, no problem, it still makes people laugh when I think about it now." Achilles also couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his mouth, which made Atalanta and Lily roll their eyes at him at the same time.

"What's so funny?"

"No, it's just a feeling, and ....." Achilles looked at Ryry, who seemed to feel the same way as himself.

"Well, I think so too, you two are thinking about the children, but you quarrel with each other, how to say, it feels a little cute, right?" Larry cast a tacit look at Achilles that belonged to the tacit understanding between men, and laughed at the same time.

"Forget it." Atalanta was obviously not very interested in the word cutie, so she only responded to Larry coldly.

But when you switch to Lily, it's a different story.

"Hmm.... Isn't it cute? The girl lowered her head a little shyly, looking at the sword and scabbard that Larry had given her in her hand, and she didn't know what to say.

"Even if you know that, what does that mean? Even if you were really Roman, why would you be in Britain? "It's probably a question that people everywhere, Greeks and Britons, Larry has heard it from their mouths.

"Well~ Don't be impatient, I just said a little inference, this is just the beginning, what I want to talk about next is the reason why you are acting alone and breaking away from the French coalition, and the bargaining chips I can negotiate with you."

That's what Larry wants to say, and the little inference before is just an appetizer.

Achilles and Atalanta looked at each other and nodded.

"Tell me about it, boy, I'm curious how good your brain is, and how many things you can guess."

Getting the other party's approval at least shows that they are willing to listen to Layry, which is the biggest improvement, and it is not in vain that Larry is still playing the game of going deep into the enemy camp at this time.

"Actually, it's not very difficult to guess, just grasp two main points."

Larry held out a finger: "First of all, Miss Atalanta's goal is to protect the children, and Achilles is following Atalanta's actions, and in order to find some powerful opponents to fight by the way, so your purpose, right?" ”

The two nodded, agreeing with Larry's statement.

Larry held out his second finger: "The second point, you didn't act with the French army, or so I say, my feeling is, you can't.... Or is it unwilling to act with them? Otherwise, your breakthrough into the city so early is not in line with the strategic deployment, and it is too long to be out of touch with the large army, and if Britain does not send a few or even all of the Knights of the Round Table to encircle and suppress you, it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to escape. ”

No, if that is the case, even if Achilles has great ability, he may not be able to get out.

This analysis directly silenced Achilles and Atalanta, who looked at each other again, but did not react.

"Looks like I'm right again?" This is undoubtedly a tacit acquiescence. "Actually, as long as you master these two points, it is not too difficult to analyze the reasons for your actions, the purpose has been clearly explained, as for why you are separated from the French army, I think.... It's that you can't talk to them, right? ”

At this point, Achilles and Atalanta had already set their sights on Larry, as did Lily.

"Then I'm curious, you two are heroes and hunters in the name of Greece, how do you think that it shouldn't be that the Greek army will give up on you, if you think about it, it should be that you are unwilling to go with them, so what is the reason for you to act like this?"

rhetorical question, but no one went back to answer Larry's question, after all, this is what he is interpreting.

"Miss Atalanta, the children of the southern city, are you alright?"

With a click, the wooden back of the bench was crushed by the huntress with one hand, as if that alone could not vent her anger, and even the shattered sawdust of the cup was ground into dust in her hands.

"Don't talk about it." Achilles also stopped Larry from continuing, indeed..... It seems that Larry's brain is very smart, but what he says always touches the anger in the depths of people's hearts, such as his own heels, and for example.... Larry is talking about the kids in the southern cities.

As if daynightmares, or tired, Atalanta sat down on the bench a little weakly, and Larry stepped aside and patted Achilles on the shoulder.

"Big hero, don't you go up and comfort me? By the way, I have something to say to Miss Artoria, so I won't bother you. With that, Larry walked towards Lily on the other side.

Achilles glanced at Larry, then at the somewhat lost Atalanta, and finally walked over to comfort Atalante.

Larry pulled Lily to the side and looked at the two heroes.

"What the hell is going on, Mr. Larry?" Curious, Lily asks Larry why Atalanta suddenly became the way she is.

Larry let out a long breath, and his expression was a little serious.

"Didn't I just say that Miss Atalanta's purpose is to protect the children, and their current actions are obviously due to a feud with the French coalition side, so they will act so recklessly and independently, as for what contradictions are going on..."Larry looked at Atalanta, she was the key to all this." Think about it, how would a child-loving huntress react to seeing her allies slaughtering children in front of her? ”

Lily's eyes widened, she couldn't think about it if she couldn't understand it at this point.

"In this way, it would be hellish not to make a conflict, and this incident must have happened on the march, if it had happened in Greece, I don't think Miss Atalanta would have gone out with the army at all." Larry touched his temples, feeling tired of thinking about this kind of stuff lately. "It could only have happened recently, and in that case, it would only have happened to the southern cities that had been devastated by the defeat of Britain in the southern theater."

It can be said that the actions of Atalanta and Achilles are naturally here to prevent children from suffering the same disasters again, as a hero, Achilles may not love children as much as Atalante, but he will definitely not tolerate such cruel behavior.

So, whether the people who broke into this monastery today were British, or the French allied people, both of them would have killed them all, just to prevent the disaster from befalling the children of the southern city again.

"War, that's such a cruel thing."

As if expressing his last feelings, Larry silently uttered the sentence.
