Lucia stepped into the War Council, the first time a woman had walked into the war hall.

Stannis noticed that the woman, after wiping the sludge off her face, was actually quite good-looking, with fair skin and bright eyes, and although her face had an unhealthy feeling of emaciation, she had a morbid beauty that had a unique charm.

Of course, he didn't call her here to do something embarrassing, but he had just received an important piece of information and needed to confront the refugee leader in person.

As soon as the woman entered the hall, the door was shut, and only a few of Stannis's close associates were left in the room, namely Lomon, Korodov, and Robert.

"Lord, may I ask you for what is the matter with me?" the woman asked without humility or arrogance.

Stannis sat upright in his seat and said nothing, because Robert told him that it was more imposing, so the stinkered Stennis glanced at Robert, who immediately stepped forward, sneered hideously, and threw several swords to the floor.

The iron weapon was splashed onto the marble floor with a crisp thud, and Korodov had put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

"I stole these from under your group of refugees. Robert was very proud.

Stannis gestured, "Please explain, Lady Lucia." ”

The woman looked at the sword under her feet and did not show a panicked look, but unexpectedly sneered, "I didn't expect that you, as a descendant of the royal family, would instruct your subordinates to do such an unseemly deed." ”

Of course, Stanley wouldn't fall for her agitation, "Don't change the subject, Ms. Lucia, my territory is small, but it's not a fish on the chopping board for anyone to slaughter, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer, it's not just as simple as asking you to leave my territory, I'm afraid no one can leave." ”

After his last sentence, Robert and Korodov drew their swords at the same time, and the cold light instantly lit up the entire hall.

In the face of this murderous scene, Lucia didn't even frown, which made the lord have to secretly admire her courage, which was much better than herself who was scared and weak at every turn......

"Well, since you said that, I don't need to hide it. Lucia looked figured out, she raised her head, her black eyes revealing strength and fearlessness, "My father is Quintus Anthony Brutus, the commander of the Second Legion under the Fourth Military Region of the Illisis Empire, and these refugees I brought are his former subordinates and families. ”

"What, a whole army!" Stannis fell from his seat in fright, for there was an entire army hoarded in his square, and if they were to attack suddenly, Stannis would have little confidence in his stinky fish and shrimp.

The momentum that the lord had painstakingly built dissipated instantly, but Lucia did not show a disdainful expression and continued, "But don't worry, the best of this group of people has already been buried in this vast forest with my father at the beginning of the departure, and now all that is left are some women and children, and those weapons we collected are to find a market to sell them for some food." ”

This statement made Stanis feel a lot more relieved, since there was no threat, then he took the initiative again, "Then your father is the commander of the legion, and he seems to be mixing quite well, so why do you drag your family to the west?"

Lucia's face was clouded, her lips instantly turned pale, and her whole body trembled.

Stannis gave his men a strange look, how could she be so scared?

After countless battles in her heart, Lucia still said the apocalypse that the people of Middle-earth had heard, "Because the Kuroshio is coming." ”

"Kuroshio? ”

Lucia bit her lip so tightly that even blood oozed out, and finally said a word.

"Doomsday. ”

The utterance of this word undoubtedly made everyone gasp, because for the people of the Western Continent, the world under the protection of the gods was still a long way from collapse.

Of course, Stannis would not believe this nonsense, he felt that there should be something else, "Then what your father should do as a government army is to protect the territory and the people, how could he escape with people?"

Lucia raised her head, her eyes filled with anger, "Please don't insult my father, Your Excellency, he tried, he wrote to everyone he knew, his superiors, colleagues, friends, and even the emperor to inform him of the return of the Kuroshio, but no one cared and was willing to lend a hand, and when there was really no way, he led us out of the Kuroshio's devouring." ”

Her words were convincing, but Stannis still didn't believe it, and he took a letter from his bosom and said to the woman: "Are you referring to a gang of bandits? A merchant wrote to report that there was a group of bandits of about a hundred people marching rapidly towards my territory, and it looked like they were following you.

"Of course they're not Kuroshio! they're chasing us because...... Because I have some festive with them. ”

Stannis became interested, "Oh, I want to hear about it. ”

The woman who had always been tough blushed and looked ashamed to talk about it, but she said, "In the Wasteland of Bones, we were surrounded by bandits, and their leader forced me to marry him, or else all my people would be killed. ”

It turned out to be a story of a bandit bully robbing a people's daughter to be the wife of the village, and Stannis became interested, "And then!

"On the night of our wedding, I took advantage of the drunkenness of the bandits, knocked their leader unconscious, tied them up, and fled with my father's men overnight, but from then on, the bandits have been chasing us, and they still haven't gotten rid of them. ”

Lucia finished her story, and Stannis had to admire the heroine even more.

Even Robert couldn't help but say, "This woman is spicy enough, I like it." ”

"Now, then, Your Excellency, the lord in charge of protecting the territory and the people, will you drive us away? ”

Stannis didn't expect that he would be turned against an army by this woman in her own words, and it would be too late to say that they should be handed over to the bandits, but if it was to start a war, there were more than a hundred bandits, and it would be too late to write to his father-in-law to ask for reinforcements.

"This, this, let me consult with my men. Stanis replied vaguely.

Lucia didn't say anything more, just bowed to him and exited the hall.
