Chapter Forty-Nine: A New Home

"Whoosh", "Whoosh" - two sharp arrows shot out from the cuffs and flew straight towards Sophia!

However, when Holguin Ilyich's hand moved slightly, Sophia had already noticed something unusual, and she reflexively flashed to the left, and the first hidden arrow flew less than 2 centimeters against her cheek. Although she didn't directly touch the Hidden Arrow, Sophia still felt the cold front on the arrow.

The second arrow was coming! Sophia did not panic in the slightest, her waist was as soft as if there were no bones, and she leaned back at 90 degrees, and the second hidden arrow was dodged at a very thrilling angle.

Both Hidden Arrows missed, and Holkin immediately raised his other hand. But the arrow in his sleeve had not yet been fired, and Sophia's short sword was already against his throat. The leader of the Lion Mercenary Regiment and the "Krait" general Holgen Ilyich was startled, he didn't even see when Sophia drew her sword.

Time seems to freeze in that moment. The two looked at each other, and Sophia's cold, determined eyes told Holking that if he moved a little, he could take his life instantly.

Holgen Ilyich sighed slightly and slowly lowered his hand. Confirming that the other party had given up force, Sophia also withdrew her short sword.

"You're not going to kill me?" Holkins asked with a sneer.

"Because you don't have the intent to kill. Sophia said. She knew that the other party was going to test her.

"Well done, very vigilant. On the battlefield you are entitled to live. Holking gave an affirmative nod.

"Thanks for the compliment. Sophia nodded politely back.

"How can you be sure that 'Krait' isn't another 'Lynx'?" Joyka asked, "Do you know the background of that 'Snake'?"

"No, I'm not ignorant of the 'Snake Snake' general, but I can't get the details of it. "All I know is that Holgen Ilyich was originally a staff officer at the old marshal's side. Having a big-picture perspective that other officers don't have, maybe that's why he's in control of the Lion Mercenary Regiment. As for his personality, hobbies, background, abilities, etc., I have no way of knowing. ”

"Since he is such an uncertain person, it cannot be ruled out that he is a hidden agent of the Truth Society, but why are you not worried at all?"

"Joika, I ask you, if you were to face a friend or foe yourself, would you be worried about yourself?"

"Of course not. I was able to handle it."

"But why do you think Sophia can't handle it alone?"

"I ......"

Joyka was tempted to say something to refute, but he was speechless. Joyka finally understood what the gap between herself and Owen was. Whether or not they can give Sophia full trust depends on the distance between them and Sophia.

"General, I don't want you to stay, not just to test me. Sophia asked, after returning the two Sleeve Arrows to their rightful owners.

"Of course it's not just tempting, but it's about tempting. Holking replied, "Because we've never met before, all the rumors are better than experiencing them in person." I must know if General Mustang and Captain Alice are oversaying anything about you, Your Highness the Princess. ”

"Mr. Leonard, about him......" Sophia felt inexplicably sad at the mention of the stubborn but dutiful knight.

In her mind, she seemed to have the tragic scene of a one-armed knight covered in blood and carrying a large number of explosives in his arms, rushing into the crowd of zombies and dying with the enemy in the icy and snowy land of the Snowy Federation.

"I know about the 'Mustang'. I also know who Mustang is, and since he made such a decision, no one can stop him. Your Royal Highness, you should no longer feel guilty about the 'Mustang', which is not a good thing for a leader. Holkins reassured.

"No!" Sophia firmly disagreed, "Leader doesn't mean cold ruthlessness. If you don't have even the most basic mercy, you are not qualified to be a leader. ”

"Hahaha, forget it. "Everybody understands 'leader' differently. But since the princess has chosen to rule with 'mercy', you should agree with my next suggestion. ”

"General, have you already chosen the location of our 'new home'?" said Sophia.

She lifted the last curtain and pointed out the real reason why the other person had been standing in front of the map for hours at the end.

Holkins also smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, please come over here." With that, he shifted his place to the side.

Sophia walked over to Holkin, following the map he was counting on. It was the northern border of the Kingdom of Pole, no, farther away from the northern border.

"Your Excellency, do you want us to move to the territory of the Fayele Empire?"

"To be precise, it is the place where the 'People's Autonomous Commune' rules. ”

"Popular self-government communes, I know this organization, they are not the same as the traditional aristocratic kingship. ”

"I have a bit of a friendship with the head of the People's Autonomous Commune. They want to build their own country, and we have exactly what they need. ”

"But is this really good? We, the remnants of the former dynasty, have gone to settle down in the land of the enemy. ”

"Your Royal Highness," Holguin turned and said to Sophia, "In the past ten years, I have traveled all over the world with the Lion Mercenary Group and have seen the true face of this world. I know the real situation of the current Pole Kingdom, the old country under the rule of Duris is not the 'hell' that those nobles who huddle in the camp all day long, and Duris himself is not the 'demon' they promote. I don't mean to insult His Majesty in Heaven, but I do say that maybe Duris can better protect the Kingdom of Pole. ”

"That's the truth. Sophia was not angry, "I have met Duris a few times, and although he was a villain who killed my father and brother, it is undeniable that he was indeed a good king. Father and brother in the heavenly spirits must also see such a fact. ”

"So, since Her Royal Highness the Princess does not intend to restore her homeland, she must lead us to establish a new country. The Heath family has invaded our land, and we are only giving back to others in the way of giving. ”

"But the nobles in the camp, they may not accept it. Sophia still had doubts.

"Regarding those brainless nobles, Her Royal Highness don't worry, I will have a way to convince them. Holking said confidently.

"Let me think about it first, okay?" Although she was tempted by this plan, Sophia did not immediately agree.

The cruel world makes Sophia cautious and mature.

At this time, in the chaotic south of the Fayale Empire, the two "father and daughter" who traveled back the river walked day and night for several days, and finally found a place to rest.

"Here you go, little girl. The fat aunt who runs the small hotel handed a pot of clean drinking water to the girl in front of her.

"Thank you. The girl took the water and nodded politely to her master.

Just as the girl turned around and wanted to walk towards the bedroom, the fat aunt suddenly called out to her from behind: "Little girl, your father's health doesn't look good, do you need to find a doctor?"

"Thank you for your concern, my father's body just felt some wind chill, and it was fine. The girl stopped, shook her head, and politely refused.

"But now that the war is in chaos, it's not easy to find a good doctor. The fat aunt wiped the sweat on her head and said, "In this troubled world, it is not easy to survive." I plan to sell the hotel in a few days and move to a place where there is no war. Little girl, listen to my advice, no matter what matters to you, don't go any further, and move with your father to a new house. ”

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether the girl agreed or not, the fat aunt turned around and walked towards the chaotic warehouse.

"Father, huh!" Christina sneered in disgust, looking at the kettle in her hand and then at the bedroom not far away.
