Chapter 25: A Letter to a Far Away Place
When Javier and Arowen went to see Seleu that night, Seleu was still unconscious.
The attending doctor said that the patient was in temporary shock due to massive blood loss, and after emergency treatment, the condition has basically stabilized, and if nothing else, he will wake up tomorrow.
After hearing this, the two of them left with peace of mind, planning to visit Seleuc again tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Javier and Arrowan got up early in the morning.
Because it was the second day of the incident, there was a lot of work to be done in the garrison, plus there was a lot of work to be done to report to the emperor on the recent work and send a notice to the residents of the empire that "Zank is dead, please rest assured that you will travel at night".
Arrowin laughs at himself and says that he has successfully evolved into a cow, working diligently every day, and will one day be oppressed to death by this cruel society.
Havel said that if you were a cow, I would be a herder, and every day I rode on the back of the cow and played the piccolo to count the white clouds in the sky.
Arrowan said, "Why don't you give me death!"
By the time all the work was settled, the sun was already setting in the west, and Javier took the yawning Arowen to the Imperial Medical Center to visit Seleuc.
After arriving at Seleuc's hospital room, Javier pushed the door open and entered, only to find that Seleu had indeed come to his senses.
At this time, Sai Leu was half-lying on the hospital bed and teasing Xiao Ke boredly, and there was no problem with his complexion.
But because of a large area of wounds on her body, at this time, her whole body was wrapped with bandages, and she basically did not let go except for her head, and her originally slender figure looked obviously larger, looking a little bloated.
These wounds were caused by Mayne's bullets and Ciel's slash, and although Seleuc did not take it lightly, he ultimately lost the combat experience.
Compared to the battle-hardened killers, she didn't have been officially involved in the battle for a long time, so she was caught and seriously injured by the combined attack of the two almost instantly.
If Wright's support hadn't come in time, she might have been dead by now.
"Yo, little Seleus, you seem to be in good spirits." Arrowan was the first to say hello.
"Let's not say where you came to this conclusion, but to say such things to a wounded man who was beaten half to death, you must be careless, Mr. Arrowin, right?" Seleuc said coldly.
"I don't know when you've learned Javier's spitting skills so well, it's really gratifying."
Arowen had a "you can already be a teacher" expression.
"I can't pretend I didn't hear this, when did I have such an inexplicable skill?" Javier stepped forward to retort.
Arowen said that he despised such unself-aware people from the bottom of his heart, and decided to ignore him for the time being.
“…… Captain, you're here too. ”
After seeing Javier, Saileu's eyes subconsciously wandered, as if she didn't dare to look directly at Javier, and she slowly lowered her head.
"I'm sorry, Captain...... You've spent so much time training for me, but I've still lost so badly and disgraced the captain. ”
Her voice was a little low.
"Smack!"
Javier unceremoniously gave Seleuc a snap of his fingers on the forehead.
"Pain, pain, pain!" Sai Leu covered his forehead that was bounced red, and a few tears were faintly visible in the corners of his eyes, "What are you doing, Captain!" I'm injured now! Violent opposition! ”
"You still know you're an injury, huh? So energetic, I thought you were healed. Javier said lightly.
"Although the injuries looked serious, they were all skin injuries, and the doctor said that I only need to rest for a month before I can return to the team."
"A month?" Javier raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "The brain is not very good, but the body's self-healing ability is first-class." ”
“…… Captain, are you turning around and calling me stupid? ”
"I didn't say that, but you admit it yourself, and I think so."
Javier reached over with both hands, grabbed Seleu's face, and pulled hard to either side.
"Since you're a fool, don't think about complicated things, if you lose this time, you can win back next time, what are you talking about, I don't remember that I have such weak subordinates."
"I'm sorry...... Did I say the wrong thing...... So let go...... It hurts, it hurts, it hurts......"
Seleuc's face was pulled out of a strange shape by Javier, and she grinned in pain, but she didn't dare to resist, and could only look at Javier with pitiful tears in her eyes.
Such a cute expression is like a wounded little animal, but it makes people want to bully even more.
Javier struggled inwardly for a few seconds before finally letting go of his troubled hand.
"Give me a good cheer, the work of the garrison is very busy, if you don't heal soon, Arowen will die of exhaustion sooner or later."
As he said this, he thought to himself: it was so dangerous that he almost opened the door to a new world.
“…… I know. ”
Seleu gently rubbed her face, which was still a little red, and lowered her head to prevent Javier from seeing her expression.
Seleu knew that Javier was comforting her, and although the way he expressed it was a little unfrank, the strong sense of concern accurately reached her heart, which made her feelings more complicated.
Javier is a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, and as long as he has been in contact for a long time, this is not difficult to notice.
As a superior, Javier is undoubtedly qualified and excellent, and no matter how obedient his subordinates are, it is difficult for them to be dissatisfied with him.
Of course, Seleuc has no resentment with Javier, for her, Javier is not only a superior, but also a mentor in her life, an object to rely on.
In this recent series of events, she even faintly developed a faint but extremely strong affection for Javier.
Of course, it is a pleasure to be cared for by Javier, but Seleuc cannot accept being protected unilaterally like this.
She wanted to be Javier's sword, to be someone who could help Javier, and if she couldn't achieve that goal, she couldn't even speak her mind.
This level of power is simply not enough, and it has to become stronger.
Seleuc gritted his teeth secretly, and his mind finally turned into a decision.
At this time, Arowen, who was watching the excitement on the side, suddenly burst out laughing: "Javier, don't bully Seleuc too much, although I also seem to think it's quite interesting." ”
"What cool things are you talking about standing there! Mr. Arrowan, you idiot! ”
Seleuc said angrily that her body couldn't make drastic movements, so she instructed Xiao Ke to bite Arrowen.
Arowen grabbed the back of Xiao Ke's neck casually, threw it back, and said with a joke: "Only a fool will scold others for being a fool!" Looks like you're staggered! ”
"Uh-huh-"
Silently listening to the two arguing, Javier laughed silently, and I don't know when such a situation has become a daily routine.
He looked out the window, the withered yellow maple leaves falling in the wind, and a cool breeze poured into the room from the window, gently brushing his cheeks, ruffling his hair, and making him squint comfortably.
Autumn is quietly coming, and before he knows it, it has been more than a month since he returned to the imperial capital, and he has gradually adapted to this way of life that is different from the rhythm of the Haysonam Fortress.
The current situation in the imperial capital is so bad that he has become busier than before, but he does not hate this state of affairs, he is not a person who wants to live a peaceful life by nature.
Everyone must have a goal in this world, otherwise they are the walking dead.
And Havel's goal is to save the dying empire.
This is a difficult road, contrary to the general trend of the world, and even if he is as confident as he is, he is not sure of victory.
But so what?
He has never been a timid person, even if there is a dead end in front of him, he has to smash a broad road out with his fists.
No matter what the final result is, he will keep going, even if he sheds the last drop of blood in his body.
Javier has never regretted embarking on this thorny path, because this is the life he has chosen, and his own life should be decided, and whether he lives or dies should be responsible for himself.
……
After leaving Seleuc's hospital room, it was already dark, and Javier and Arowen returned to their house.
The old butler Fabio had already prepared dinner, this old man who was originally a soldier was really an excellent housekeeper, and he took care of Javier's life in an orderly manner, and he didn't need to think about it at all.
Fabio once said that being a butler was a dream of his youth, when he was deeply trusted by Grandpa Javier, the old man saw his thoughts, and after he got married, he summoned him into the house, realizing his dream for many years, Javier and even Javier's father Recter were all raised by him.
After a full meal, Javier handed the two letters he had already written to Arrovin.
"Let the Shadows send these two letters, and remember to put them in their own hands." Javier said solemnly.
Arowen took the letter, glanced at the signature on the letter, and was taken aback: "Kairol Yolanda...... And Isidor Adonis, they're all big shots. ”
It is indeed a big man, as can be seen from the fact that he has a surname, because a surname is the privilege of the nobility.
These two people may not have a good reputation in the imperial capital, but if they are placed in the local area under their control, their reputation and prestige are almost comparable to Havel's status in the southwest region, so it can be seen that they are both people with both virtue and ability.
Kyrol Yolanda, who is the Lady Keeper of Ruyao City in the central region of the Empire.
Although she is the father who inherited the throne, her ability and means should not be underestimated, and I heard that under her governance, the local crime rate is almost zero.
This is unimaginable in the current state of the Empire, and even the man who is valued by Javier, Enoch Gregory, the Captain of the Thousand Army Cities, cannot do this.
Maybe this achievement is more or less mixed with some water, but the ability of this female taishou is recognized by Javier.
Isidor Adonis, a vice admiral stationed in the Eastern Military District, is on the same level as Javier.
The empire has a total of five military regions, in addition to the southwest military region where Javier is located, there are also the western military region to defend against foreign peoples in the west, and the northwest military region and the northeast military region to defend against foreign peoples in the north, and finally the eastern military region set up in the eastern sea to defend against surrounding pirates.
Therefore, this person is leading the army to defend one side, and like Javier, he is a person with high authority and real power.
In the east, it's basically up to him.
In addition to the only general in the empire, there are five lieutenant generals under him, who are the leaders of the five military districts of the empire, and Javier and Isidore are among them.
However, in recent years, the number of lieutenant generals has become six, and the extra one is Estes Barutes.
This woman has won too many battles in the empire, and like Javier, she is a god-like figure, and with the help of the minister, she has also successfully obtained the position of lieutenant general, which represents the highest honor of the general.
"The purpose of these two letters is to ask for people." "The central and eastern regions are both war-free regions, and the chances of promotion are relatively small, and it will be difficult to train the generals under them, so they have written to me and said that they want to transfer their imperial envoys to my account. ”
"Now the personnel of the 'Falcon' are seriously insufficient, which can be used as a supplement to combat power, and by the way, they can also sell them a favor."
"I see." Arowen thought for a moment, and then said, "But can those two imperial envoys be trusted?" Is there a possibility that it was a spy sent by the Revolutionary Army or the Minister? ”
"I have instructed the 'Shadow' to investigate those two people, and judging from the results of the investigation, they are both innocent and capable people, and there is nothing wrong with them." "But it's not like I'm trusting them that way, I'm going to see them for myself when they come in, and I just trust my own judgment." ”
"Well, there's always nothing wrong with being cautious."
Arrowan nodded, indicating that he had understood.
If those two people can be trusted, then the next step is the final battle with the "Night Raid".
Although there is still a big disadvantage in terms of numbers, Arrowen doesn't think they have any chance of losing.
He has been following Havel since he was a child, and he has witnessed how Havel has grown up step by step, and no one knows the horror of Havel better than him.
Night Raid?
A sneer welled in Arrowen's heart, and in his opinion, the life of the "Night Raid" was already beginning to count down.
