Chapter 34: Interlude

As Carpas retreated from the walls, the Orc Attack was no longer as ferocious as before, and the Orc Commander began to slowly gather his forces, putting tremendous pressure on the Fourth Legion in the city of Parnes, while the Orc side suffered losses that were too much for them to bear.

"Brother Zachary, you're amazing." Originally, because of the unfamiliarity with Zachary when they first met, Raphael rarely spoke to Zachary, but after seeing Zachary's heroic performance in battle, the blood in the young man's heart made him admire this young man who was not a few years older than him.

"Raphael, you are also very good, you and Joanna are so outstanding on the battlefield at a young age." Zachary put away his long sword and turned to look at Joanna and Raphael who had come running as soon as the battle was over.

"Then Brother Zachary, can you teach me, I also want to be like Big Brother Zachary, who can turn the tide in battle and become the savior of the battlefield situation.!" Raphael heard Zachary's encouragement and nodded excitedly, completely lacking his usual calm appearance.

"Okay, when I instruct Joanna, you can also come along, and let me know if you have any questions." After carefully confirming that there were no injuries on the two of them, Zachary nodded to Raphael with a smile, and asked him to follow Joanna to find him in the future, after all, this will be the most reliable general by Joanna's side in the future, and it will be of great help to Joanna if his strength can be improved.

"Well, then I'm going to thank you Zachary for teaching my daughter and Raphael." Rhodes walked over with one arm hanging from his chest and a few soldiers, and as soon as he approached, he heard what Zachary said, so he opened his mouth to thank him, "Moreover, if it weren't for Zachary's background to block that orc master, I'm afraid even if I had already asked Jonathan for help." ā€

"No, Uncle Rod, you praise the juniors too much, I just contributed my meager strength, and I was able to repel this attack of the orcs, it was entirely because of your excellent command ability, Uncle Rod, that we were able to suppress the orcs and force the other party back from the city wall."

"What a humble lad." Rod smiled and shook his head.

After the original commander of this line of defense was chopped into pieces by the orcs, Rode, who was the highest-ranking commander of the defense line at that time, took over the command of this line of defense, and Rode, who coordinated the entire defense line, knew very well that if it wasn't for Zachary to contain the orc master and let Carpas be able to shoot freely, even if he commanded well, he couldn't prevent the other party from breaking through this line of defense in a forceful way.

"Okay, this time the battle is over, the orcs have withdrawn, and the losses caused by such a ferocious attack are estimated to make the orcs unable to launch such an attack continuously for the time being." Rod smiled and clapped his hands at Zachary, "The NIs performed very well in the battle, and they are all tired, so go back and rest early, you don't need to clean up the battlefield, after all, it is already our dereliction of duty to let you children stand here." ā€

"Okay, then Dad, let's go first, but Dad, you have no problem with your hands, why don't you go to the rest meeting with us first." Joanna looked at Rod's arm worriedly, and saw that her daughter was worried about her body, and Rod had a happy smile on his face.

"It's just a minor injury, I'm used to your father, and as the temporary commander of this section of the wall, how can I leave here when your Uncle Jonathan has not yet sent him in formal command. Okay kid, you go back first and have a good rest. Rod smiled and reached out his uninjured hand and touched Joanna's head, "After you went to war, I kept wondering if it was a wrong choice for me to bring you and Raphael to the front. ā€

"No Dad, being able to stand on the same battlefield with Dad, is your daughter's own choice, as your daughter, I don't want to be a lady hiding at home." Joanna shook her head and looked at her father with a determined gaze.

Seeing his daughter's serious and unswerving will, Rod shook his head helplessly, just let Joanna choose it herself, anyway, Joanna can't learn the manners and temperament of those noble ladies, and she doesn't know why, she always feels that there will be no shortage of such wars in the future.

Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, Rhodes smiled self-deprecatingly, like this war has not happened on the continent for I don't know how many years, and the most recent one is the wave of death set off by Dias on the continent on the western continent twenty years ago.

Forget it, so be it, although I don't know why I have such an idea, but it is good to let Joanna familiarize herself with the battlefield, at least she can have the ability to protect herself, in case her idea becomes a reality.

If Zachary, who was walking back with Joanna Raphael and preparing to rest, knew what was in Rhodes' mind at this time, he would definitely tell Rhodes that his guess was not wrong, the future Faisal continent would fall into a huge catastrophe, and the three-year battle between the Reiner Kingdom and the Orc Kingdom between the Star and Moon War was just the beginning of this catastrophe.

As long as you are a creature on this continent, no one can escape from this catastrophe, gods, legendary creatures, no matter what your identity or race.

It's a pity that no one on the continent except for Zackery and Joanna knows that the catastrophe that swept the continent is about to befall this continent under the impetus of people with hearts.

However, Zachary did not think about what would happen in three years at this time, because although it was not too far away, he knew that it was useless to think about it, and what he was thinking about at this time was how to plan Joanna's future.

As a ghost possessed by the Sword of Thorn Flower, Zachary knew that even if he repaired the strength of the sword body and restored it to the level of the game in his previous life, he would not be able to become a leader in the future coalition because his identity was too special.

Ghosts, the first thing that comes to mind for the living on the Faisal continent is the undead of Dias, in this case, it is absolutely impossible for them to stand at the forefront of the coalition army, because they will doubt whether they will betray them, so they can only cultivate Joanna.

As one of the leaders of the Eastern Continent Alliance of the future good camp, Joanna definitely has the potential to devote herself to cultivating her, and Enrafael also has this qualification.

But the question now is how to plan Joanna's future, Zachary definitely doesn't want to wait until the orc kingdom and the Reiner kingdom are fighting each other half-dead, and the Reiner kingdom is even close to extinction, before Joanna can step onto the stage of the Faisal continent.

As Cabas said, it would be a shame and unwise for the good camp to drain itself on each other's infighting.

So you have to plan it well, thought as Zachary walked down the streets of Parnes, which had become very dilapidated and had lost its former prosperity due to the war.
