No one knew when the orcs would kill again, and it was expected that the actions of these chaotic orcs who didn't even know what they were thinking in their minds would be a torturous chore.

Sometimes the knights even think that it would be good for the orcs to attack tomorrow, regardless of whether they live or die, anyway, they will be a hundred.

After all, no one wants a sword of Damocles hanging around their necks and cutting it off at some point.

Martin hated this negative view, and arguably the most positive person in the whole of Lorraineburg.

"What is this? The hoisting of the waterwheel hasn't started yet, has it?" Martin was patrolling the cliffs near the river in New Lorrainburg with Garr and Sylvie, and saw something that resembled a crane.

Of course, this thing is not that advanced.

The outline and function are still very clear - it is a wooden boom suspended beyond the cliff, and it is chosen on the leeward side where the sea breeze cannot blow, and there is a pulley at the top of the boom, so it is obvious that the cable and something like a hanging basket will be installed underneath. It's the kind that can send people down.

Martin remembers very well that he had not arranged for this.

When the questioned craftsman saw Martin, he was completely confused, hesitant, and wanted to say but didn't dare to say it.

"Please don't embarrass him, it's my order. Unexpectedly, it was the old Kuden who rushed over to solve the scene.

Martin's eyes narrowed into a line.

Kouden knelt on one knee with several knights.

"The House of Lorraine has withered, and my family and I have been loyal to the House of Lorraine for seven generations. I will never allow myself to watch the bloodline of the Lorraine family be severed in the young master's generation. So young master, you guessed it right, this is an escape measure. In case the new Lorraine Fort is in danger of falling, I hope that the young master will be evacuated from here. Once the gondola is loaded, a ferryboat will be dispatched twenty-four hours below to cross the Rick River and then sail back to Bakaria when it is safe to do so. ”

Kouden glanced at Sylvie next to Martin: "If it's just in case, I'm talking about what if Lorraine Castle is all destroyed." I hope that Sylvie will protect the young master and fulfill the oath passed down from generation to generation by the Grandz family to ensure that the bloodline of the Lorraine family continues. ”

Both Bakaria and the Rick Empire value oaths so highly that even kings and emperors are not qualified to ask a knight to change their oaths.

Therefore, the validity of the oath of allegiance from generation to generation is absolute. Unless the person to whom allegiance is to publicly announce the forcible rescission of the oath, the allegiance must first be performed by the loyalist for a heinous act that is outrageous to all of humanity before it can be lifted. Even so, it would have a very bad impact on the sworn allegiance and the family, and it would be a shame that could not be erased for generations.

Now that Kuden said this, the meaning is also obvious: if Lorraine is destroyed, the young master will be a ruined family, and if there is no eldest lady willing to marry Martin Lorraine, you Sylvie will be reluctant to marry the young master yourself.

Sylvie's face flushed, and it was hard to tell if it was anger or shame, or both.

Both Martin and Sylvie were silent.

Kouden didn't say anything more, still kneeling quietly, waiting for Martin's thunderous fury, or something......

Unexpectedly, Martin didn't say a word, lightly hooked his hand, and left with Sylvie and other guards.

He didn't even expect that an undercurrent was surging in the royal capital of Bakaria.

Countless people were waiting to see the Lorrainburg joke.

"Hahaha! Is it so easy to be a pioneer knight? If every knight with only muscles left in his head can succeed in opening up territory, then what do we need the interior officials to do? ”

"Anyway, the Lorrainburg debt is pretty much the same. ”

"Hehe, that's the loan that the king forced us to approve, I want to know how the Lorraine family and the king will repay it when the time comes......"

"I heard that among the knights of the Lorraine family, there is a chick named 'Roland's Sword' who looks very standard. ”

"Hehe, hey, when the Lorraine family can't afford to pay back, then ......"

At this moment, Martin, who was in the whirlpool, couldn't feel that even if he crossed the difficulties in front of him, there were more undercurrents waiting for him.

Walking on high ground, a thin layer of dirt under your feet does not completely cover the gravel underneath, and if you are not wearing boots, you will definitely be a little prickly. If it weren't for the current enemy, Martin would definitely be thinking about how to level this land in the future.

At this time, Sylvie beside him spoke, and her voice was clearly suppressed: "Young master, you say...... Are they all so dismissive of us?"

Martin was dumbfounded, but still nodded: "Yes." In their eyes, I was just a choice without a choice. And you're a nuisance. ”

The most painful thing is that most of these people who are not optimistic about Lorrainburg are still their own people.

Even the knights are like this, and the thoughts of the people below can be imagined.

Sylvie suddenly asked, "Now, young master, you say, why is there a war?"

Martin was stunned for a moment, as a Celestial Empire who grew up in a peaceful era, he had never seriously thought about this question.

But in reality, there are many ways to produce contradictions, interests, reputation, face, and even on the road because of an unpleasant one, you can face each other with swords.

After coming to this world, he suddenly found that the contradictions he knew before were ridiculous. In the face of the most basic issue of 'survival', all small contradictions are not enough to put on the table.

No one can surpass their own race, and since they are born as human beings, they must strive for the living space of human beings.

Martin looked up at the sky: "This world is very big, the place where human beings can live is very small, and every race is competing for the living space for future generations to reproduce, so war will always happen, and we can only choose to accept it passively." ”

Hearing Martin's words, Sylvie suddenly felt a little dazed.

"We were born in a very bad time, and we can't choose our time, our race, our country. I think the present belongs to adults, but the future must belong to us, and we may be able to try to change it. Martin continued.

As he spoke, his mind suddenly broadened because of his words: "Maybe it won't change anything, but at least we have worked together with many people to make people's lives better, for future generations to have better territories, and to realize such dreams." Sylvie, you say, isn't that so?"

"Yes......" Sylvie replied as if she were in a dream, almost mechanically instinctively.
