Volume 1 - Shower Chapter 123: I'm Sorry, My Beloved (4)
"Caudore! I brought Sanchi out, and now I'll give him back to you unscathed. Lena said.
"Lena! I really don't know what to say, thank you so much! But now is not the time to talk about this, I have gathered some of the town's garrisons and executives, and we now have about 1,000 troops. Codore said to Lena.
"What! That's great, and I'll tell you the truth, Longtalon is very dangerous right now, and we escaped about an hour ago, when we lost the outer walls and were defending the inner court. Lena said in surprise and worry.
"Lena, I'll talk about the details later, Put, Fitz! Send the kids and Anna to Ms. Svertana, Barrett! The task of escorting Miss and Mrs. Young Master is entrusted to you, do you know why you were chosen? ”
"Know and know, because Barrett is brave, brave and loyal!" Barrett said proudly.
"Damn! I don't want to hear you say this, you drive your carriage on the paths, take the paths that other coachmen dare not take, you know? You're drinking again? Kodore scolded angrily.
"No, no, sir, Barrett hasn't drunk today!" Barrett hastened to explain that he didn't want to be whipped by Caudore for drinking—he had been delayed on the way back from the griffon, and he wouldn't even look at the pathfinder with the whip from Caudore.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's go! Lena, you set off with the children. ”
"Nope."
"What, what did you say, Lena?" Caudore had expected Lena to readily agree, but he didn't expect to get such an answer.
"I said no, Kodore, you heard me right. I think it's enough to have the protection of the soldiers, and I make sure again, there are no Tangnis people and their monsters here, right? ”
"Yes, this is the rear of their camp, and the Targnis brutes are all focused on Fort Longtalon." Kaudore said.
"So, the children don't need my protection anymore, they're safe, and now, I'm going to take my house back, and after that, the children will have a home to go back to." Lena said firmly.
"Lena, I'm afraid you don't know yet, your... Forehead... YOUR HOUSE ... Caudore didn't know what to say.
"I know, Kodore, I'm afraid that Neverwinter Town will be destroyed, I saw the pillar of light of Neverwinter Town in Longtalon Fort." Lena looked a little sad.
"So can you please not be so stubborn? You've got to be with the kids, that's what you're supposed to do, Lena! Codore was a little angry, he couldn't understand why Lena wouldn't stay with the children.
"Send the children away, Kaudore, I'll explain to you later, I have my reasons." Lena pleaded.
Caudore saw Lina's emotions, and he felt that she might have something inconvenient to say in front of the children, so he had no choice but to agree: "Send them away, Put, Fitz, take care of this little drunkard, he is not allowed to drink for the next two days, and must deliver the children to Ms. Svertana with his own hands." ”
When they received the order, they put the children in the wagon.
"No, Mom, are you okay with us!" Little Lena grabbed the hem of Lina's sleeve and was reluctant to give up.
"Lena, mom will come later, mom is going to take back our house and land, and then we can go home together." Lena said to her daughter.
Little Lena shook her head vigorously, clenching Lena's sleeve even tighter, she didn't agree with the plan, and she didn't agree with Lina's statement.
"Aiji, I think you understand?" Lena looked at her eldest daughter, except for some admiration for vanity, Agilyl was more sensible.
"Mom, you have to promise." Instead of agreeing immediately, Agilyl asked Lena to swear that she didn't like the atmosphere of the farewell, and that she gradually understood what was going on in the land, instead of being a happy aristocratic lady like she had been a few years ago.
Joshua, on the other hand, frowned, wanting to say something but couldn't.
"I promise, kids, you want to come home early, too—with your dad, we're with our family, so mom has to stay here now. Anna, Anthony's kid will be handed over to you, and I'm sure you'll help him run the family well, and you have similarities with me. ”
"Aunt Lena, I will be a good wife's children, Anastasia and I will take care of them on the way, of course, this includes Sanchi, please rest assured Mr. Kodore." Anna reassured.
"Of course, Anna, I've been watching you at the Griffons, and to be honest, I can't think of any better than you, I'm relieved, now, let's not waste time, let's go, get in the carriage, and go out through the back door of the camp, you know? Barrett? ”
"The little ones know, the little ones know." Barrett hastened to agree.
"Do your best, and when you're done fighting, you'll get a bucket of wolf blood, and of course, a big bag of copper horns and two cute silver wolves are also what you have to get. ”

"Pete! Do you think our plan will succeed? York was a little nervous and a little sad, after all, he was reluctant to carry out such a task, but this did not prevent him from lifting the shovel and digging the tunnel hard, the soil under the logging fortress was a little hard, York dug very hard, it had been digging for more than two hours, he was able to dig a passage of less than 10 meters, and Pete was responsible for the passage he dug for the bakelite board and stake support.
"We have to succeed, York, don't worry, you just need to send me directly below the kitchen, and Lady El Para told me there is a secret passage from where I can go straight to the circle's control room. Oh come on, stop complaining, I look like that's one of the reasons you're bald. Pete quipped.
"What! You're a man, I've been digging holes, you know? I'm digging a hole! Can people who don't work stop talking! York angrily said that although he wanted to throw down the shovel, it would affect the speed of digging.
"Hey! You two guys, be quiet! Just now my Running Wolf spotted a Targanis patrol squad, and my guerrilla falcon saw the monster, and he was re-restrained and locked up in the square of the Logging Fortress. Sando said dissatisfied, obviously as a hunter, he was good at sentry.
"Got it, Sando, help us keep an eye on it, if the patrol finds out we're doomed. York, hurry up, you two retreat after I enter the logging fortress, I will delay the detonation of the circle, which is enough for us to escape, look, Tanganis mongrel, none of you will try to escape from here, bury it all for me and our fortress together! ”

"You're lying, Lena, you're ready to give it a go." In the camp's main tent, Caudore has a showdown with Lena. He had already noticed that Lina's originally determined eyes were wandering when he was separated from the children, and after thinking of Lina's previous words, Kodore vaguely understood what Lena wanted to do.
"Don't tell me you don't have such thoughts and awareness, you and I both know what those monsters and that circle mean. Fort Longclaw is in danger, and we must do two things, and as soon as possible. Lena said calmly to Kodore.
"We must take out the enemy's commander, McGee Exkushin, the second son of Gegit Exkushin. We must also destroy the circle. Caudore chimed in.
"That's right, so, that's why I had to stay here, and presumably why you haven't done anything for so long. You don't know how to destroy that circle, the assassination of the commander and the destruction of the circle must be done at the same time, we only have one chance. You don't understand the circle. Lena pointed this pointedly.
Kaudore had no choice but to say: "I have to admit this, I really don't know how to destroy that circle, I'm not even sure if we can destroy it, and I don't know if it's a point in the entire circle that can be destroyed." ”
"Now we can do it, Kaudore, pull out the camp, all of them are dispatched, the regular soldiers will raid from both sides, pretending to be reinforcements from Longtalon Fort, you take your killer to get McGee Exkushin, as for me, I'll get the circle." Lena replied.
"Hopefully we're all alive, you have three children, and I have Sanchi."
"Of course, I hope we can all survive, my children are waiting for me to go back, and my husband must be fighting hard at the moment."
