Chapter 4 Charles~

There was undisguised anger in the young man's voice, combined with the somewhat luxurious office space, and the smell of wine lingering in the air, which made Chu Lie's brows furrow tighter and tighter, and Rex on the side laughed dryly twice, explaining: "Lord Lone Yong, this is Mr. Charles, our current internal affairs officer......"

"He's a very talented man, and it's because of him that we've been able to grow the town of Crane to the size it is now in the year you've been away."

"It's just that although Charles is very talented, he also has some trivial little faults......"

At this moment, the sound of smashing in the house, and the voice of the young man, who could be called the roar of an angry beast, became higher and higher, the smile on Rex's face froze, and the gaze that had been staring at Chu Lie was irrepressibly deviated, and he muttered:

"Well, it should, probably."

"Just a trivial glitch, well, that's how it should be."

“…… You don't have to excuse him like that. ”

Chu Lie's gaze turned away, and he landed on the wine jug that was smashed into a few pieces on the ground, and pursed his lips slightly: "If he is really such a talented person, then a little quirk is not difficult to accept." ”

"Let's talk about it first."

"Yes, Lord Lonely!"

Rex breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the look on his face became a little more natural-

He had never imagined that he would one day intercede in front of a lone paladin for a man who was greedy for pleasure, lustful, and drunk.

But in this year, the talent displayed by this young man who was full of faults and the dazzling brilliance in this troubled world made him simply stand up instinctively, not wanting Chu Lie to clash with him.

"Alas~"

The young Templar sighed slightly, a wry smile in his heart.

How did Lord Charles, who is so shrewd, be abducted by Lord Ernest with a jar of wine dregs in the first place...... Ahem, recruiting back?

Thinking unconsciously in his heart, Rex slowly pushed the slightly closed door open, and with a soft squeak, the interior of this building was displayed in front of Chu Lie and the others, not as luxurious as it looked from the outside, the interior of this house still maintained an extremely streamlined style, and the door had just opened a gap, and there was an extremely strong and pungent smell of wine transmitted, as if it was about to get drunk inside.

Chu Lie frowned slightly, this kind of alcohol always reminded him of some not very good memories, and looked into the room with bated breath, on an extremely large wooden table, one side was full of documents to be processed, these documents were stacked on top of each other, straight up to half a person's height, and on the other side, there was not even a single document that had been processed.

Behind the wide table, a young man of about twenty-seven or eighteen leaned on the seat, bare-chested and bare-chested, with a bohemian look on his face, his hands hanging down, one hand still carrying a small wine jug, and the other hand was unconsciously turning in circles~, while picking up the wine jug and pouring turbid wine into his throat, he was vague, but he scolded the two men who were smiling bitterly at his side.

"Interesting."

The Ibaraki boy in the monster team raised his eyebrows slightly, sniffed the aroma of wine in the air, and a look of interest appeared on his face - he and the wine swallowing boy were lifelong friends, if it was about the evaluation of wine, other monsters tied together could not compare to him, the ghost king waved his hand, dispelled all the wine that lingered around him, and looked at the interior of the house, falling on the face of the dissolute young man, and sneered:

"Smash the wine outside, and indulge in this coarse liquor?"

"Stupid miscellaneous, I don't know what to say."

"I don't know what to say?! Hiccup~"

In the house, the young man burped, and his eyes lazily fell on Chu Lie and the others, as if he had only discovered them now, or he was only a little interested in caring about them now, and sneered while shaking the wine jug in his hand: "I don't know what you are." ”

"Drunkenness is a mood and a state of mind, relying on those so-called fine wines to indulge? Garbage, stupid! ”

"The real drunk, burp~ is actually just grazing his soul and temperament, people's souls are different, and the appearance of drunkenness is completely different, and this ............ What does this have to do with wine? ”

"This is a gentleman's business."

"Of course you don't understand."

As he spoke, Charles smashed his mouth and withdrew his gaze, but before he withdrew his gaze, he glanced at the Ibaraki boy with great contempt, especially on the latter's handsome face, and sneered in a low voice:

"Dead sissy."

Crunch –

The palm of the Ibaraki boy clenched, and a handful of black hell flames burst out from his fist, and then fell into annihilation, the ghost king looked at Chu Lie in front of him, and pressed the unhappiness in his heart very well, but even if the strong power was fleeting, it also made Rex and Conrad break out in a cold sweat in an instant, just now they almost thought that they were facing some kind of extremely brutal and hideous beast, and they didn't care about wiping the cold sweat on their foreheads, and the Templar Rex took a step forward, Directly blocked in front of Chu Lie and the others and the unruly young man, and said with a wry smile:

"Lord Charles, you should say a few words."

"This is Lord Chu Lie, the lone brave paladin, and his friends."

"Lord Chu Lie?!"

"Gui'an, General!"

On Charles's side, the expressions of the two young men who were scolding each other with a wry smile changed slightly, and then they saluted extremely respectfully, and Charles's face on the side was also slightly stagnant, and his eyes were condensed, revealing a cautious posture, which made Rex slightly relieved in his heart-

It's okay, it's okay.

The young Templar smiled wryly—

Fortunately, Lord Chu Lie's name is enough to suppress this man who is not afraid of heaven and earth.

Luckily, his brain hadn't been soaked in the pungent liquor.

On the way, he was really worried about this stinky Charles, and he opened his mouth directly to say "fuck your big slippers...... It's okay, it's okay~

And when Rex was quite comforted in his heart, Charles crossed the table directly with a bang, the expression on his face was extremely solemn, with a certain gesture of recognition, that was a little thin, and there was also a certain tenacity on his naked and belly-bare figure, which made people can't help but look sideways.

"Not bad."

In a deep tone, Charles spoke slowly:

"Even here, even after knowing my identity, I can still burst out with the anger and murderous intent that I should have."

"You, very good!"

Brush!

Under Rex's somewhat dull gaze, the young interior officer gave a thumbs up, and a hearty smile appeared on his unshaven face.

"Even if you look like a sissy, but I, Charles, recognize you as a gentleman!"

“…… Check, Lord Charles......"

An almost trembling voice came from the side, Charles raised his eyebrows and turned his face sideways, and saw Rex, the current acting head of the Templar Order, with a bitter face, and reminded him: "Lord Chu Lie is back......"

"Chu Lie?"

Charles frowned slightly, and then waved his hand a little impatiently:

"Who's him!"

"Fuck the stinky mop~ I'm annoying!"

"Where can I compare to this mother, no, this man!"

“………………”

………………………………………………………………

After arranging his subordinate falcon war horses, Ernest didn't even bother to change the armor on his body, so he hurriedly walked towards the direction of the administrative hall, I don't know why, there was always some unstable feeling in his heart, which made his pace much faster than usual, and when the tall building of the administrative hall appeared in front of him, the tense nerves were finally slightly relaxed.

"It's okay, it's okay."

"It's a good thing that the wine jar didn't drop the chain at this time."

But at this moment, an extremely violent scorching aura suddenly erupted in the administrative hall, but it did not expand and affect other areas, but only drummed in the area of the administrative hall, and a low voice faintly remembered.

"Hell's Hand !!"

Rumble!!!

Countless black and blue flames were entangled together, turning into a huge palm, and suddenly rose from the ground, and the administrative hall, which had been repaired with great difficulty, was directly penetrated in a bang, revealing a huge hole, and the broken stones burst out, and the small stones fell down in an arc, smashing on Ernest's armor, making a few crisp sounds, and some bounced to the ground, and this general, who was always cold, rational, and decisive at ordinary times, had a slightly dumbfounded face, and in those eyes, There was a faint look of heartache and confusion.

………………………………………………………………

"The town of Crane, originally had a permanent population of 50,000, but now because of the war and the routine act of rescuing prisoners, it has swelled to the current population of 350,000 in just one year, of which 5,000 are the original Kingdom infantry, 2,000 cavalry, divided into two teams, one part is the Falcon Cavalry led by General Ernest, and the other part is the Templar Order formed by the original Papal Knights."

On the hospital bed in the treatment center, Charles did not have the original bohemian on his face, but was extremely serious, explaining to Chu Lie the current state of Crane Town, his demeanor was meticulous and full of a sense of reliability, while speaking, he raised his arm full of plaster, supported the glasses on his face, and then coughed lightly twice, and said to Rex: "General Rex, can you move your body?" ”

"You're holding my legs down."

"Ahh

Leaning on the edge of the bed, Rex, who was thinking about something, was stunned, and then a somewhat embarrassed smile appeared on his face, and he deviated his body, revealing his right leg that was originally pressed a little low by his body and was hanged, and his leg was also covered with thick plaster, Charles nodded expressionlessly, his eyes looked at Chu Lie, and his expression became a little grim.

"Lord Chu Lie, you should be able to understand the current state."

"A group of captives, and the area we are in is extremely ...... In particular, in the werewolf clan, the ring, and the country of knights, the core surrounded by the undead, the lightning attack phase that has just begun in the war has ended, and all forces have now reacted, and it is impossible to achieve great results and fighters in a short period of time like before!"

"The war has reached the stage of a tug-of-war."

"Every force is trying to strengthen its own strength as much as possible while defending, but right now, we are short of people, extremely short of people!"

Brush!

The intact right arm waved down decisively, and a cold glint flashed in Charles's eyes, "A large number of blacksmiths who can keep up with the speed of equipment maintenance!" The group of academy mages who developed weapons to defend the city! As well as merchants! ”

"A big merchant who can have his own caravan and a small airship!"

"If we are to feed our wars, we must transport our loot back in exchange for enough supplies to keep this huge town running!"

"Otherwise, the thriving, stable and peaceful Crane in your eyes is like a monster with an infinite appetite, which will eventually be dragged down by its own needs and lead to death and destruction!"

Charles's voice was full of determination, which made the atmosphere in the house a little calm, and after a moment of silence, Chu Lie raised his eyes to look at him, and slowly spoke: "Isn't there an alliance?" The country of knights, the ring, if you have allies, you can at least get material aid. ”

"Allies?"

With a sneering look on his face, Charles leaned back on the pillow and sneered:

"The Knights of Gubit, their demand is that we relinquish control of Crane Town, and the warriors under your command must be under the control of their generals, Ernest and Rex must join the Gubit military system."

"Do you understand, Your Excellency Chu Lie?"

The sarcasm on Charles's face calmed down, and he said slowly:

"The location of Crane is so good! That's great! It's like an iron nail nailed into the flesh and blood of the werewolf race......"

"With the style of the military, you will definitely get support, but the task after that will be to defend to the death, and even the new general will send you to continue to advance."

"In order to wash away their shame, those so-called knights don't mind paying the price of blood and death, rather, Gubit has a motto that is a shame on honor, only death can wash it away, General Chu Lie, are you willing?"

Charles looked at Chu Lie and asked with a smile:

"At the cost of the human lives of a city, at the cost of the knights under your command, to wash away the shame and regain the territory, as a country of knights, I will not evaluate their morality, but for the sake of their reputation, I will never send you to die on purpose."

“…………”

"Nope."

Chu Lie looked at Charles, who seemed to be smiling, and shook his head indifferently:

"We don't trade our lives for them."

"Where's the ring?"

"Rings?"

Charles muttered and repeated, shook the wine jug that had long been empty, lifted the wine jug, and poured out a drop of turbid wine with difficulty, the wine dripping on the corners of his somewhat dry lips, which made him smash his mouth with satisfaction, casually put the wine jug away, and looked at the corners of Chu Lie's mouth slightly raised, although he was smiling, but there was no slightest temperature in his eyes.

"Your good friend Sylvia, the Frostheart witch, appeared, she didn't meet you, stayed here for a day, and returned to the Ring."

"Then, contact was lost."
