Jill shook her head, then stood within the boundaries of Joan of Arc's demarcation, hands in front of her chest, like a stubborn child.

"I'll have someone bring food and water for a while, don't leave it behind, it's an order!" Joan of Arc said solemnly.

"Yes, my lord, I see. Jill nodded.

After arranging this, Joan of Arc was about to take people away, when Cain, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke: "Lord Joan of Arc, please send me an extra food and water, I think I should also be punished." ”

Looking at Joan of Arc's puzzled expression, Cain said slowly: "Although his words are difficult to hear, it is an indisputable fact that Versailles was lost from my hands. I'm really sorry that I didn't investigate in advance, put my subordinates in a dangerous situation, and bothered you to come to the rescue. Yes, I am an incompetent knight captain, but if I dare not even admit my own failures, then I am a real coward, even for the sake of those who die, I cannot be a coward!"

With that, Cain stood on the other side of the flag gun, and the silver flag gun was like a dividing line, separating the two very different men.

"Well, if that's what you're asking for, I'll do it. Joan of Arc nodded and said, "There are a lot of soldiers here, I'll put them in charge of monitoring, and if you two have any excesses, get ready to go to the confinement room." ”

"Yes, my lord, I see!" both of them said loudly as they slammed their right fists on their left chests at the same time.

"Let's go. With that, Joan of Arc took Jock and the others in the direction of the city.

Before leaving, Jock quietly gestured to Gil, telling him not to act rashly. After doing this, Jock hurriedly followed with bared teeth and grinning, and when he intercepted Jill just now, he used too much force, and the wound on his back broke open a little, and after relaxing, it was even more painful than just now......

Although it was past noon, the sunlight in the sky still showed no sign of abating, and in such exposure, the armor on the two of them was as hot as an oven.

Sweat trickled down Jill and Caine's skin, and occasionally sweat dripped from his chin onto the plate armor on his chest, and soon evaporated only white salt marks......

"If you want to beat me up, now is the best chance. After a long stalemate, Cain took the initiative to break the silence, Joan of Arc just let them stay in this range, and did not forbid them to speak, "This neighborhood is full of your people, even if you hit me, they can be treated as if they didn't see it, don't you hate me very much? ”

"If that's why you're here, you can fuck off. Jill didn't even look at Caine and said coldly.

"I'm just giving you advice, this is your last chance, if I really stand in the dueling arena I won't let the water go, it's about the glory of the knights. Caine said lightly, narrowing his eyes into a thin slit so that the sweat could quickly flow down, "Although your skills are very neat, you can't win me with these alone, this is also advice." ”

"Keep your advice to yourself, Lord Knight, and don't compare me to the knights of the guard under you. The punch you gave was for Joan of Arc, she didn't want anyone in the country to get hurt, but some people wouldn't understand it without getting hurt......" Jill turned his head sideways and looked Kain in the eye, "So don't provoke me, when it comes to knightly codes, people at the bottom are often more familiar with them than you officials." ”

The two of them looked at each other, not blinking their eyelids even if sweat dripped into their eyes, the silver flag at the top of the spear swayed in the breeze, and the palm-sized shadow lingered on their faces.

"Two adults, this is the food and water that Joan of Arc asked me to bring you, please eat. The soldier who delivered the meal looked at the two people who looked at each other like a bull, and said weakly. He placed the two baskets on the ground in front of them, and a faint sound of liquid shaking came from them.

The sound of "cooing" came from the throats of the two of them, and it was particularly clear in the silent street.

"Or ...... Let's eat first, that's the Lord's order. Cain said as she licked her thirsty lips, but kept her eyes from the basket containing the food.

"Yes, I'll talk about it after eating, but I'm not thirsty or anything. Jill swallowed, "I'm sure you aren't. ”

"Of course, it's all for Joan of Arc!"

"Very well, at least you and I are in the same position in this regard. ”

As they spoke, they reached for the basket containing the food, and before eating, they both picked up the kettle, which took up half of the basket's capacity, and drank bitterly. The kettle was just the most ordinary water, but the two of them drank water as if they were drinking the most delicious wine......

In a shadow a few dozen meters away from the square, looking at the two men gobbling up under the scorching sun, the girl with long golden braids showed a pleased smile.

By the end of the evening, the British troops who were squatting near the makeshift fortifications had already retreated, and they were moving in a hurry, as if they had received some order.

Joan of Arc didn't care much about this, not to mention the other party's commander, even Cain knew very little, even if he tried to figure out the other party's psychology, he was just causing trouble.

Although Gil's beating was unexpected, the result of the second detachment's raid was even more surprising, in addition to the battle damage of a few hundred men, the knights who returned alive each carried a considerable amount of food. Had it not been for Jock's explanation and the smoke wafting from the city on the other side, Joan of Arc might have thought that Jill had led them to plunder the city on the other side......

"So, what are you going to do with the food?" asked Jock, wrapped in a thick bandage, inside the mansion to Joan of Arc, who was sitting behind his desk.

"Our current food reserves are quite sufficient, and with the few caravans sent out a few days ago, we don't have to worry about food. Joan of Arc looked at the parchment in his hand, on which were written reports of various supplies, "The main warehouses in the city are also basically full, and in the current climate, there are no warehouses for storage, and it is impossible to store food for a long time." ”

"Then we might as well divide them up, it looks like they're enough for us to eat a few delicious meals. Jock was unimpressed.

Joan of Arc shook her head, "We can't do this, it will hurt their original master." Although you have taken this food from the hands of the British army, it originally belonged to the people of Versailles, and the lack of so much food by the British army at once will surely make their lives even more difficult. ”

Hearing Joan's explanation, Jock's eyes suddenly widened, they were only thinking about how to make trouble for the British army, and they didn't think of this: "So, what then?"

"Let's transport the food to the vicinity of the square, isn't there an empty timber warehouse there, just put it there, although it is a place to keep the wood, but it should be fine to store the food for the time being. Joan of Arc thought for a moment and said, "Also, let some of the men go to the vicinity of the square, and cook the food in the storehouse as best they can, and then we will distribute the food at the fortifications every time it is time to eat, so that the people over there will be better off." ”

"Yes, Joan of Arc. Jock stood up and said solemnly.

"Don't forget to strengthen the fortifications and don't let our enemies take advantage of them. Joan of Arc admonished, and watched Jock walk towards the door.

"Mm-hmm, don't worry......"

"Your Excellency, you are such a kind-hearted person. After Jock left, the maid Mama suddenly walked in, carrying a basket in her hand, and said excitedly.

"How long have you been here, and you've heard our conversation?" asked Joan of Arc, embarrassed, as she stepped out from behind the table and took the basket from Mama's hand.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but don't worry, I'm not going to tell you about it. The chief maid bowed and said, "Allow me, Lord Joan, to thank you on behalf of the people of Versailles. ”

"What are you doing!" Joan of Arc helped her up, and the two of them sat down at the round table in the room. In order to facilitate the handling of the affairs of the army, her food was delivered to the room by the chief maid, and this small round table was also used as a temporary dining table, "Versailles was originally the Versailles of France, she belonged to the people, and those invaders have now occupied her, I am just doing my duty, so you don't have to do this." ”

Joan of Arc said, taking the food out of the basket one by one: "If you really want to be thankful, thank the fallen soldiers, without their sacrifices, we would not have taken Versailles, so don't dwell on these anymore, as long as you can remember their efforts, that's enough." Today's meal looks really good, let's eat. ”

"Hmm. The maid wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, then smiled and nodded.

Outside, the night deepened, and the hustle and bustle of the city fell silent.

After a busy day, the soldier dragged his tired body back to the camp, but there were more empty beds beside him. There was no time to mourn for their deceased comrades, so they slept on simple beds, and no one had time to think about whether their beds would be vacated one day.

At least for now, regaining strength is the most important thing they need to do.

The Place de Versailles at night looks a little vicissitudes, and although there are bonfires lit by knights who watch the night around, it still looks a little bleak from a distance.

Under the dim starlight, the silver flag at the top of the spear fluttered gently in the evening breeze. Underneath the flag, two men leaned cross-legged on the barrel of the flag-gun, one on the left and the other on the right.

"Has Joan of Arc always been so strict?" Caine on the right asked with a wry smile, gently hammering his sour waist and carefully controlling the range of movements, "Fifty centimeters is too small for an adult man, how does your body feel now?"
