Chapter 345: Saving Private Sinloth
"Boom......"
Lying on the bed, Ellie let out a low sound, the girl squirmed her little body, and her little hands subconsciously touched the bed. Only this time, she didn't sense the aura of that familiar person.
What about Dad?
Yes, Dad said that Ellie is a big girl, and she has slept separately from Ellie...... Wait, how did I fall asleep?
The memories that had been suspended began to flow again, and the horrors of the monsters in the rain curtain instantly recalled. The panicked girl hurriedly opened her eyes and got up from the bed. But now it was no longer that terrible night, and the warm sun was hanging high in the sky.
For some reason, Ellie suddenly felt relieved. It was only at this time that Ellie was in the mood to look at the furnishings of the room.
Some familiar rooms...... Isn't this Aunt Rosa's room? I'm here, but what about Dad?
The girl's heart was so anxious that she hurriedly lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed. It's just that the girl really overestimated her state, and as soon as the girl's feet hit the ground, she quickly dizzy her head and almost fell.
"Woo......"
The girl held on to the edge of the bed, and finally managed to stabilize her body. At this moment, the heavy door was pushed open. With a melancholy face, Christina walked into the room with a small wooden basin filled with water.
"Ah, Ellie, you're awake!" Seeing that his best friend woke up, the little guy first exclaimed a little. Then the girl quickly put down the tub and helped Ellie who wanted to get up: "Ellie, don't move, Sister Xanalot said that your illness is just right and you need to rest." ”
The girl didn't care about this, she just grabbed her best friend's little hand urgently: "Christina, how is Dad, and everyone ......"
"This ......"
Christina didn't dare to look directly at Ellie's eager gaze, and the girl lowered her head with a sad face.
……
From start to finish, this time the dragons attacked Wren. The whole process doesn't add up to an hour. But the damage it causes is devastating.
According to the statistics so far, even if the number of military casualties is excluded, thousands of people in Rennes are still directly killed. The number of injured reached a terrifying 20,000. As for the ruined buildings, and the blow to commerce, it was even more severe - even the walls on which Wren relied to defend against the Normans were greatly damaged. At a time when the Normans could move south at any moment, the defect of the wall became particularly fatal.
This data if placed in the entire empire. That's the damage of a massive battle. If it were limited to this, it would still be painful, but it was not unacceptable—the previous Great War of the North Sea was a rare defeat for the Empire, and the larger the army, the more painful the rout would be, and it was not the norm.
And what makes the issue of casualties acute this time is that all the casualties in this battle are the citizens of Rennes. Centralizing all these losses in one city was a great deal for even the governor of Britannia.
The impact of this short but intense offensive was not limited to this.
The dragons' attacks were irrational. Many of the buildings in the city were greatly damaged. Even if the weather was not bad and people were not going to riot directly, these homeless people still made the city's security fall to a precarious point.
And with this untold natural disaster or ** turmoil, many contradictions that were originally hidden under the illusion of peace have also erupted.
The façade of the city was partially damaged and in urgent need of repairs. The city is riddled with injuries and illnesses, waiting to be treated and pacified. And all kinds of sudden contradictions also need to be reconciled by His Excellency the Governor. It's just that if these can be solved narrowly, then the last problem really leaves His Excellency the Governor with no way to do anything.
There were a large number of noble casualties in the city.
Not everyone stays at home and sleeps at night. Not all nobles will be invited by His Excellency the Governor. The Governor's Mansion is full of masters. Coupled with the fact that the Doge's Palace was built very strongly, the situation was better, but what about the rest of the city......
In a non-war situation, more than 200 nobles died in one go. Although none of them are prominent figures. But in any case, a derelict hat will definitely not run away. Even if he is not afraid of the reproach of those who have a heart, but at this chaotic moment, this matter is still an extremely headache for His Excellency the Governor.
The city guards and the Governor's elite private soldiers suffered heavy casualties due to the need to fight the dragons. And those noble private soldiers who were called in were gathered outside the city. On the contrary, the damage was mild. If those aristocratic privateers knew that their master was dead, they didn't know what would be going to happen. Fortunately, there is chaos in the city now, and no one pays attention to this for the time being.
"So, what about Dad......"
Ellie asked Christina cautiously, for fear that her father would be ruthlessly killed by those monsters, just like the nobles outside her best friend's mouth.
"The situation of the principal...... It's a little complicated. ”
……
Despite the dissuasion of her best friend, the girl staggered to the place where her father was temporarily sheltered. When Ellie pushed open the door and entered the room, she saw several familiar faces.
Shanaido, Somalina, and her bodyguard, Gneina, and ...... Xanalot.
Shanaiduo, who was originally sitting on the edge of the bed, saw Ellie come in and immediately stood up, blocking the girl's view. Shanaiduo's eyes were red, apparently crying. However, the heir of the HRE still reluctantly squeezed out a smile at Ellie: "Ellie, why are you here, your illness is not alright?" What you need now is a good rest. Leave the rest to us......"
"Sister Shanaiduo, where's Dad?"
The girl had a feeling of getting worse and worse in her heart, and regardless of Shanaiduo's stiffened smile, she asked directly, "Where is Daddy, Ellie wants to see him." ”
"This ......"
Shanaiduo's smile froze on his face, not knowing how to answer. Somalina also covered her face with a feather fan and looked into the distance.
"Your father is a true warrior." At this time, it was not the two people who were familiar with Ellie, but Somalina's guards. The young lady, who had always been wearing a helmet and had never seen her true face, said calmly to Ellie with a very serious voice: "Even in the face of the siege of more than a dozen high-ranking dragon beasts, he did not flinch and fought to the end...... I am ashamed of my private malicious comments about him, he is a true warrior. ”
More than a dozen high-ranking dragon beasts with a length of more than ten meters. Among them, there is an extremely difficult opponent like the dragon. Let's not talk about how Sinloth did it, but when Gnaina couldn't stand Shanaido's prayers and led people to find Sinloth, she was still shocked by the tragic situation of Sinloth at that time.
The Count's bones were almost shattered. And the battlefield is full of chaos. Even though he was unconscious, Sinloth who fell on the battlefield composed of the blood and limbs of the dragon beasts still exuded a sharp edge that people couldn't look at directly. The madness and fighting spirit that were entangled in Sinloth's body even made the soldiers afraid to approach for a while.
But it is undeniable, albeit incomparably embarrassing. But the man with all the wounds on the front, the wild charm exuded at that time was enough to shake the heart of any girl.
It's hard to imagine that a human being can do this to such an extent. To slay those terrible monsters with his own strength, he may have used some kind of strength that is not very good, but this courage is still admirable.
It was like tearing through the darkness over Rennes, and it was obviously impossible for it to be caused by the anger of the Sun Knight. And judging from the location, the place where the light cluster appeared was the direction where Sinloth was located.
Geneina didn't know what sustained him to accomplish such a feat, was it the same Madame Butterfly who was also unconscious on the sidelines...... Probably. But when you think about it this way, the relationship between Madame Butterfly and Count Van Zhuo does seem to be a bit too close.
It's just that the bones all over the body are shattered, and there are countless internal injuries. At that time, he was already blessed by God before he died, and in the face of such a heavy injury, I am afraid that no one can take him back from the hands of death.
"That's enough, Glady!"
Somalina rarely drank her chief of guard, and the daughter of the governor suddenly became irritable for some reason. She turned around and took a deep look at the two people lying side by side on the hospital bed before dragging her long skirt and turning away.
"I'm sorry, Shanaido, something like this happened. I know you're in a mess. But there's still a lot of work for me to deal with...... I'll take my leave. ”
Somalina's attitude was strange, but at this time, everyone in the room had no intention of caring about her whereabouts. The girl lost her previous grace and pushed the door open roughly. And her chief guard bowed deeply to Ellie before following the young lady.
"Anyway. Please be strong. You should be proud to have such a wonderful father. I don't think even your father wants to see you cry......"
Glady's voice rarely had a bit of softness, but the information exposed in it made Ellie's heart sink to the bottom in an instant. The girl with her head bowed raised her head and looked at the bed that had been hidden by Shanaido.
His father. Fan Zhuo's patriarch's face was extremely pale, and his long black hair was weakly spread out. He just lay quietly on the bed, even his heartbeat was almost imperceptible, as if he had died.
And beside him, Rosa was wrapped in a mummy. Madame Butterfly is in the same troubled condition, but it seems that her breathing is at least steady.
"Daddy!!"
Ellie screamed and was about to pounce on her father. Shanaiduo's face was gloomy, but he didn't stop it. Instead, Xanalot, who had been by her side, stretched out her hand and picked up the grief-stricken little fool.
"Let go of me, Sister Xanalot! Daddy he, daddy he ......"
Big tears kept sliding down the corners of Ellie's eyes, and the people who saw it were extremely distressed. Xanalot had no choice but to confine the silly girl and prevent her from doing stupid things, while whispering in her ear.
"Don't move, Ellie, Sinloth is fine."
Just such simple words made Ellie quiet. The girl who was crying with pear blossoms and rain raised her head and looked at Shanalote with teary eyes: "Sister Shanalot, what you said is true, didn't you lie to Ellie?" ”
"Of course it's true, after all, I'm ...... this time" Xanarot touched her buttocks, her face full of bitterness: "I'm a fairy banban, but this time I'm a big loss...... I can't get married at all now......"
Even Assasin's occasional foul language is used, which shows how depressed Xanalott is. And when Ellie saw Xanalot's appearance, her heart suddenly settled down.
Xanalott is usually unreliable, but that doesn't mean she's not an elder to rely on.
"Is Sinloth alright? So why ......"
Shanadot was extremely excited and came to Xanalot's side and grabbed her hand tightly. The girl trembled, and even her words took on a trill: "You said that Sinloth was fine, didn't you?" ”
"Ah, well, of course...... Although I will not be resurrected from the darkness, nor will I have a cup of heaven. But if it's sexual magic, I'll still do it......" After the two people in the way left, Xanalot finally revealed some truths to the few people in the room.
"It's a great risk, but it's a great opportunity. Sinlos had been in Desmond for too long, and Van Zhuo had little prestige in the field, so he took advantage of this opportunity...... Damn, those dragon beasts are really thick-skinned, and the dragon can't kill the brilliant black dragon by slashing, fortunately they pay more attention to the black dragon, otherwise I would fight them alone, it's still a bit hanging...... Claude I can't help it, his ** is dead, I can only seal his soul. As for Sinloth, although he looks bad now, his health has actually started to improve...... Don't look at me, I don't have that power, it's his own power...... What a terrible amount of Yuan Essence. ”
Xanalott muttered a lot, and Ellie was a little dazed to hear it, but it was enough for the girl to know that her father would not die. Finally relieved, Ellie stepped forward and took her father's hand and put it to her face.
Sinloth has always treated Ellie as a child, and it has always been him who has taken care of her, and now it is Ellie's turn to take care of you.
"So, when the hell will Sinloth wake up?"
Shanado thought more than Ellie, she could not care about what was deliberately hidden in Shanalot's words, but she couldn't help but care about Sinloth's situation, such as what that sexual magic was and what Shanalot's purpose was.
"Well, it's up to him." The green-robed witch spread her hands and showed a helpless expression: "His soul is gone, what can I do." Maybe in a few days his soul has had enough, and he will come back on his own. ”
"Alas, alas?!" (To be continued.) )
PS: I know everyone has forgotten this setting, so I will mention it again, Assasin is actually surnamed Tang, and Assasin is her foreign name. According to the rules of the East, she should actually be called Tang Baba...... That's right, Tang XH123 of the Tang Gate
