The candle was dying in a pool of tears, and Horn looked up suddenly, and found that it was still dark outside, so quiet that he wondered if he was deaf. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info He fell asleep again in fatigue and panic, and the parchment on his table was piled up, mostly about Karta's battle plans and maps.

"Awake?" Kenny put down the parchment book in his hand and handed him his glass.

Horn sighed, took the glass and poured it into his stomach. "Man, I had a dream. He wiped the wine from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve and looked at the guards who were holding the lamp, "Maybe our decision is wrong, the battle of Karta is not as simple as we imagined. He shook his head, muttering something in his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"A dream?" Kenny smiled, "What do you want to say?"

"We shouldn't be so hasty, we should have waited a little longer, wait-"

"Wait for Lindh to bring us Ryan's head, and then we can take the Alliance army and swagger into the city of Karta?" Kenny shrugged, "Man, you were involved in all the battle plans, about the deployment of Karta's forces, the commander who defended the city, and Lind who broke into them, all of this was from you, and now, you are starting to doubt yourself?"

"It's not a suspicion, it's a hunch. Horn picked up the flask and filled himself with another glass, but when the glass touched his lips, he put it back on the edge of the table.

Kenny looked up, waving his hand at the only guard in the tent who hadn't rested. "We are still a day's journey from Karta, and the big battle is imminent, so don't fool the army, especially in front of outsiders. After the guard withdrew, he opened his mouth again, "Say it, say whatever you want, but I don't want to hear a word of what you just said at tomorrow's military council." ”

Linde reported that Ryan had already received the news of the fall of Saint-Tak, but the whole of Karta was still the same as before, and the people seemed to be still immersed in the thrill of civil strife, regardless of the enemy's arrival in the city. Horn said softly, "This is not normal, even if they don't transfer troops from Black, they should at least do some preparations, but there is no wind in the city, and the soldiers of the Peace Army spend their days immersed in brothels and taverns, gambling and drinking for pleasure." If it were you, would you do that?"

"Do we need to go around in circles like this when we talk to each other?" Kenny frowned slightly, his tone reproachful.

"I'm afraid we're not facing the Peace Army in this battle......" Horn looked at the candle seedlings jumping up and down, and picked up his wine glass, "Have you thought about it?"

Kenny was silent. Of course he knew what Eren was referring to, and he couldn't imagine how Ryan had changed in the past eighteen years, let alone who the people standing behind him were, or what they would encounter in this battle, maybe some kind of horrible sorcery, or ...... Dragon?

"So, we should wait a little longer, at least for Linde to come back with new news, even bad news is better than not knowing anything. Seeing that his father was silent, Horn continued, "Kenny, I know how long you've been waiting for this moment, you've become a little weird since you crossed the North City Bridge, and as for your weirdness, I can't tell if it's excitement or anticipation...... In short, don't act recklessly and remember your failures back then. ”

"You should have told me these things earlier. Kenny withdrew his empty eyes and looked at his long-time friend, "It's too late, the battle plan is still a strong attack, do you want to tell Jaime and Kane that we will live in this open field for a few days, and when the enemy is fully prepared, it will not be too late to attack the city?"

"I mean, go back, go back to the city of Shotoku. Horn said what was on his mind, "I've already figured out the reason. Lind sent back the news that Ryan would be feasting at the palace in a few days, and that he had gotten an invitation, and that he would blend in with the invited Rangers and take the guy's head at the banquet...... Guess they have nothing to say when they hear the news?"

"Are you fooling them?" Kenny raised his voice, then looked up at the tent. "You just told everyone when you were in Shotoku," he said in a low voice, "Ryan now has dozens of guards standing guard even when he sleeps, and now he has a public banquet for all his ministers?, and even uncanonized rangers can participate?" he snorted, "This kind of story, you can only use to deceive Selcie back then, even now, you can hear that this is a lie!"

"There are many reasons for this, and I think again that the key is whether you are willing to withdraw your troops. Horn said impatiently.

Kenny took a deep breath and was silent for a few seconds. "It's not about whether I'm willing to withdraw my troops, it's about what happens in Karta. He crossed his fingers and pressed his chin against it, "As long as the news from Linde is true, then Ryan must be burned out by now." With the fall of Shotoku City, the self-respecting nobles unwilling to go to war, the internal affairs are unstable, the assassins are endless, and everyone wants him to die, and how can he have time to take care of the peace army that has been idle for eighteen years?" he paused, "But if we withdraw our troops now, even if we deceive them all, if Lindh still can't get close to Ryan, he will still send back those innocuous gossip, waiting for Ryan to clear out the dissidents, reorganize the peace army, or even ...... We'll regret it, man. ”

His father's words were reasonable, and he couldn't refute them. Maybe everyone will die after all, but he hopes that day will come later, even if only for a few days, so that he no longer dares to influence his father's thoughts. He was afraid, afraid that it was because of his own conceit that led to the defeat of the city of Karta. Instead of listening to others, see for yourself, but remember, you can never change anything. Old Maude's words came to his ears again, and for seventeen years he had experienced misery, but he could not escape the slaughter of fate.

"Hey, what's the fuss?" Kenny asked in a loud voice as his companion's gaze wandered.

"Nothing. Horn shook his head and replied coldly.

Kenny's face is now as pale as a mushroom from the days he has been traveling. "Don't worry, I know more about Karta than anyone else in the world. Now that we are three times the strength of the Peace Army, even if Ryan is capable, it is impossible to withstand the attack of the 90,000 Alliance Army. What's more, they are now scattered inside, maybe when our troops come to the city, he will be frightened to raise the flag and surrender!"

"May the god Namu bless you, Kenny. Horn forced himself to squeeze out a smile, then stood up, "Rest early, and hopefully soon, we will be able to sit in the Dalton family's palace and raise a glass together." ”

"May the god Namu bless us, Alan. Kenny said with a smile.
