Chapter 17: The Duty of a Soldier

After Casio came back, he wondered if he would be so angry that he would immediately gather a team and come to him desperately after the two of Count Lyme and Viscount Rosa returned to Lyme City and found that there were nearly two hundred fewer residents in the city.

Of course, the premise is that they react in a timely manner and that the army can be sent to trouble him.

And when they returned to Greenwater Town, the soldiers who were reluctant to submit to Casio at the beginning showed full shock, but they didn't expect Casio to go out for a few days and actually bring their relatives from Lyme City.

At the same time, Casio also lied to them, saying that Count Lyme was unwilling to ask them anymore and had lost trust in them, so he had to bring their family here and make arrangements.

This reason may seem far-fetched, but considering that they have been on Casio's side for so long, and even helped Casio defend themselves against attacks from Outes City, then this reason makes sense.

Therefore, after the news came out, most of the people who were reluctant to join Casio at the beginning left behind their psychological burden, and their own families were also in Greenwater, so it was logical to be loyal to him.

Even those who had killed their friends and even relatives because of their battle with Casio in the Forest of Secret Words at the beginning didn't say anything more in the end, and either chose to leave or slipped away silently.

Fortunately, there are not many of these people, and there are only more than a dozen people in total, and only four people left in the end.

Of course, for the soldiers who had submitted to him in advance and had also been to the vicinity of Lyme City, Casio had said from the beginning that he would go to Lyme City to pick them up, and he did not say a word about letting them act as an exchange in the canyon.

Everyone was satisfied with the result, and naturally it was impossible to pull him by the collar and ask him about everything.

However, there is one person who is an exception.

And this person was standing at Casio's desk at this time, looking at him with a gloomy face, it was none other than Sisko!

In the face of Sisko's gaze, Casio was extremely calm, still unhurriedly handling the matter at hand.

About half an hour later, Casio temporarily finished handling some affairs, and then raised his head to look at Sisko: "Sisko, you've been standing for almost an hour, just say anything directly." ā€

Sisko was still silent for a moment before he spoke, "Your Royal Highness, I know that you are a benevolent lord. But I still have to ask, Lord Earl, is he really unwilling to let us go back?"

Ordinary soldiers, because they can't get in touch with Count Lyme, may believe what Casio says, but no matter what Sisko says, he is at least a middle-level or high-level, and on Casio's reason, he really can't convince him.

However, Casio didn't think to convince Sisko with such reasons.

Therefore, in the face of Sisko's question, Casio nodded calmly: "You are right, I deceived you. And also designed the nobles of Lyme City, so that they could fight among themselves and consume their strength. ā€

Looking at Casio's calm face and without the slightest shame, Sisko was stunned.

He wanted to yell at Casio at this time, "Big brother, you deceived us, can you look a little ashamed?"

After thinking about it, Sisko asked, "Your Royal Highness, can I know why?"

Sisko wasn't stupid, and he wouldn't have thought that Casio was doing it on purpose just to win them over.

After all, he also sees the situation in Greenwater Town now, and the threat of Jets City and Yalita still exists.

"For Greenwater. A few simple words, but Sisko heard an unmistakable determination.

This only made Sisko even more puzzled, "Since it is for Greenwater Town, then Your Royal Highness the Prince, you should seek a strong alliance and face the enemy together." ā€

Glancing at Sisko, Casio said slowly, "Let me tell you the truth, there are not only ordinary ore veins in the mining area, but also source ores. For the sake of the rapid development of Lushui Town, I have no intention of dividing the profit of the source mine. Therefore, it is imperative to weaken the power of Lime City. ā€

Sisko was stunned again, he obviously knew about the source mine.

But after thinking about it for a while, he was still puzzled: "Even if it's a source mine, if it's used reasonably, it should be able to exchange for more powerful allies." ā€

In Sisko's view, only by keeping Greenwater can there be development, and what Casio is doing now obviously outweighs the losses.

"Kavin and Yarita were never my real enemies. Casio suddenly said thoughtlessly.

Obviously, though, Casio didn't mean to give Sisko an answer, as he had already continued.

"Sisko, do you know about the recent attack of the Waltis Empire?"

Sisko nodded: "I know a little bit about it." Do you think they will be a threat, Your Highness the Prince?"

"Perhaps. Casio did not answer explicitly, but gave an ambiguous answer.

Hearing Casio's answer, Sisko shook his head: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are too worried, although the Waltis Empire has to go south every two or three years to plunder the borders of the Graka Empire and some principalities, but these fifty years have passed, and there has been no major war. What's more, they have now begun to negotiate peace. ā€

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace. Casio spat out the words faintly.

In the last life in the game, when Casio read this history, he understood that the reason why Graka, a thousand-year-old empire, was dragged into decline by the Waltis Empire in just ten years, and finally completely disappeared in only thirty years, was because most people were like Sisko now.

However, Casio didn't mean to explain this in depth, anyway, his purpose had been faintly revealed to Sisko.

Therefore, Casio continued, "Let's assume that when the Waltis Empire invades one day, do you think the current Greenwater will be able to withstand it?"

Sisko didn't even think about it, and just shook his head in denial.

"You see, you understand. Therefore, the construction of Green Water Town is what I really care about. Casio made a concluding remarks.

Sisko always felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he didn't know what was wrong, and finally he had to say: "Your Royal Highness, although I am not a knight, I am also loyal, so I want to return to Lime City." ā€

Glancing at Sisko deeply, Casio sighed lightly: "The vocation of a soldier should not be limited to only one person, but should be for a more ambitious goal!"

Sisko was shocked, this was the first time he had heard a lord speak like this in all these years.

Isn't it true that as a soldier, you exist to be loyal to your lord?

Casio knew that this sentence touched Sisko a lot, so he patted Sisko on the shoulder: "You think about it first, if you understand it, you will know my ideals." ā€

"Of course, I will respect your wishes and let you go back to serve your lord!"
