The water vapor rises hot, and Charon soaks in the tub, and it may be only at this moment that the muscles that are in a state of tension can relax a little.
He squinted his eyes and enjoyed a moment of peace, his trance thoughts went back to the past, countless pictures passed by, bloody wind and rain along the way, and there was fighting and killing as far as the eye could see, he did not reject these, unfortunately it was not strong enough.
Under the action of gravity, the warm water flows down the steel body into the water surface, causing layers of ripples and ripples.
The girl with her clothes in her arms stood aside, looking down at her closed toes, long-term malnutrition made her body as thin as a bamboo pole, even if she washed and put on clean clothes, she could not hide the essence of poverty and hardship for a while.
"Just put your clothes aside. The towel wiped his wet hair, Charon's eyes were like torches, and his fierce sense of air was aggressive.
Feeling slightly uneasy, Elef's heart pounded with nervousness, and she hurriedly put her clothes down, and then felt that something was wrong, and picked them up again and handed them to the big man in front of her.
She was driven out of the cellar by the soldiers and screened out to serve the big people, even if these invaders didn't say anything superfluous, but with the warning eyes with murderous intent, she could also understand that if she didn't do well, she would get killed, and even implicate her seriously ill mother and other poor people who were searched out.
"Great Lord, please let me serve your dress, me, me, me"
Eref was so frightened that she stammered, especially when Charon's gaze swept over, and the weight of the pressure almost suffocated her.
"Things are down and you can go out. ”
Seeing that the country girl still insisted on standing still, Charon frowned, but he didn't blame her, after all, she was not a specially trained maid.
He simply stepped out of the tub, ignoring the girl's stunned expression, and wiped his body to himself.
The perfect contours and solid gummy muscles are completely different from the expansive explosion, but you can feel the strength of Charon at a glance, and there is a breathtaking power between every move.
Of course, such a visual impact was too strong for Elev, she closed her eyes tightly, and her little head was in chaos, filled with the scene she had just seen, and she didn't even know that the clothes she was holding had been taken away.
"What's your name?"
The quiet voice entered her ears, and Elev snorted dazedly, only to realize that Charon was already fully dressed and standing in front of her, and her hands were empty.
"I ask you, what's your name?"
Although it was only for a day or two temporarily, he didn't want to call others by the title of feeding.
"Ilef"
The voice was weak, if it wasn't for Charon's good hearing, he really couldn't hear it, and responded lightly: "My name is Charon." ”
Eleve stared at Charon with wide eyes, and in her mind, nobles often disdained to tell commoners their names, and they might only say it when they flaunted provocations and bullied them. Although she didn't know the identity of the person in front of her, she was only a nobleman who could be high in the army.
While she was still thinking, Charon had already walked out of the bedroom with her sword in her hand, and she hurriedly trotted to keep up, stepping on the corner of her skirt in a hurry, staggering and falling, but she still stood up with pain.
Charon could have turned around and held her up just now, but he didn't know if the Flying Wing Kingdom was seriously poisoned by the knight's story, and he didn't want to provoke the little girl everywhere like other knights.
Shaking his head, Charon walked out of the corridor, first having a full meal in the dining room full of classical charm, and then the reports of the battle damage of the various legions had been passed back and sent to the mansion as a document.
In the middle of the study is a square sand table with a miniature terrain that shows the West Coast, where the black flag has spread a small part.
Charon stood in front of the table, looking at the battle damage of each legion, more than 10,000 people were killed in the previous battle, and nearly 20,000 were seriously injured and unable to fight, although most of them were auxiliary armies, but the casualties in the direct army were more than 5,000.
No matter how many subordinate soldiers die in his eyes, it is just a number, and they can pay off the money of the nobles at once by rewarding their relatives, but the direct army is far from being so simple, involving all aspects of things, it is necessary to register military merit commendations, support their relatives, etc., and the Del family can thrive on these bloody soldiers.
The people in the council hall have already summoned the aftermath plan, and he has approved and signed them one by one, and these documents will be returned to the federation tonight, so that the various agencies there can implement them as soon as possible.
The only interesting thing is that there was a small-scale march in the federation to denounce the bloody massacre caused by the Southern Army in the territory of the flying wing, and even the advanced journalists in the south did not know about it.
However, the other party only dared to make small moves, Renault had already reported to him that the new batch of regiments of the Southern Army had been trained and reorganized, not counting the 60,000 people on the expedition, the number of reserves plus the regular army had swelled to 200,000, and whoever wanted to do it would have to be covered with blood.
Knock knock softly.
"Come in. Charon didn't raise his head, and the pen in his hand continued to stroke, "Just put the coffee on the table." ”
Elevy did so, but when she put the cup down, she didn't move away, but kept her eyes on the sand, the town had been erased by the black flag, and she knew that not many of its inhabitants would survive.
Green fingers clutched the hem of her skirt, courage brewing in her heaving chest, perhaps because her brain was hot, she opened her mouth to question the young man in a high position, even herself, she couldn't help but be surprised at her boldness.
"My lord, why do you want to take over the West Coast?"
Force's calm and trembling voice made Charon's eyelids raise slightly, and he said lightly: "Naturally, it is for profit." ”
"Is it possible to start a war for the sake of profit and let innocent people die?"
"Of course you can!" "Eleve knows that there are many, many families who have been forced to leave, and if they are accidentally involved, there is only death, why don't you have the spirit of knights to show mercy to the weak, and the wealth that has been plundered is also sinful"
Charon's eyes were so flat that it made people feel cold, but Eleve was bold enough to continue, she was obviously a poor person who usually had not enough to eat, but now there seemed to be a force driving her.
The girl gushed endlessly, although in the end she didn't know what she was talking about, and peeked at the young man in front of her, still indifferent, completely unaffected.
"Have you said enough? I heard that on your wings, servants who speak up and offend their masters will be stripped naked and flogged. ”
Charon's eyes suddenly sharpened, and the power of the ruler broke free from his shackles, like a lion awakened from his slumber.
The girl's face turned white suddenly, she took two steps back, and sat down on the ground weakly, the dark brown camphor plank was cold and hard.
"But I'm not going to punish you, but to show what you call mercy. ”
Charon squatted in front of Elev and reached out to pick her chin, "Do you know? As for how many people will die in the process, I don't mind, and most of the people who follow the Del family won't mind, as long as we can keep getting stronger. ”
"As for why you want to become stronger, look at your devastated hometown, look at the Flying Wing Kingdom that can make my Del family's army like no one, or you who tell me a big reason, you should understand how difficult it is to move an inch in this world that is still the law of the jungle in nature. ”
Eleve curled up helplessly in a ball, and the words might become a curse, forever rooted in her psyche.
If it was a normal time, Charon would not have said this to an ordinary person, but half an hour ago, the alliance summoned him, and four months later, he had to enter the battle realm, and at that time, he could not take care of this side of the world at all, so it was inevitable that a sense of urgency would emerge in his heart.
