Chapter 42: There are so many rats
Christina lay weakly on the bed, staring at Edward sitting on the edge of the bed, while Evina shook the goblet in her hand, her eyes sharply watching her brother's interaction with the witch.
The two of them didn't speak at first, and after more than ten minutes, Christina finally couldn't stand Edward's sharp gaze, and simply closed her eyes: "I'm tired, you hurry up and get out." ”
"Don't be so ruthless, I'm going to take the time to take care of you. Edward lay back in his chair and responded with a slight dismay.
"Take care of it, it seems that all the work is done by servants, is it okay for you to do nothing and leave the war on the front line like this?" Christina turned her face away from Edward.
"It's okay, the Earl of Lipton is taking care of it. Edward touched his chin, "Anyway, that knight Henry has already been killed by you, I might as well just stare at the Boulogne here, so as not to pay attention for a while, so that the city of Pali, which was finally in his hands, became someone else's bag in the blink of an eye." ”
"Hmph, you also know that the Boulogne people are not easy to get along with. Christina snorted, "Count you still have a little brain." ”
"But I'm curious, with your ability, you can't end up like a wolf by assassinating a person on the field, right?" Edward asked with a smile.
"You have to take care of it!" Christina put the quilt over her head, burying herself in the quilt.
"I said, brother, do you really not know, or do you not know, looking at her appearance, maybe she has something to do with the Varroa family-those pointed ears are the only people of the Auvergne family. Evina interjected, "Since you are kissed, it must be uncomfortable at the moment of doing it, right? It's really hard for you, and you don't hesitate to go against God's teachings to kill you." ”
Actually, anyone with a discerning eye knows this, but she says it anyway, just to satirize Christina, who had never liked the pointy-eared witch from the beginning!
Christina just continued to smothered herself under the covers, without giving Ivina any response.
"Well, I said Evena, just stop. Edward stood up and touched his sister's head, "Let's go, let her be alone." ”
"Hmm. Without further ado, Ivina nodded, and walked out of the room with her brother.
The door closed, and Christina, under the covers, put the platinum necklace on her chest, and began to cry again.
As soon as the rain stopped, Boulogne's army cleared the waters and marched into the city of Pali, even though most of them had no digging tools with them. As Count Lipton marched south with a significant portion of his army, the Boulognese in Pali outnumbered the Galedonians.
However, they were still part of the kingdom of Cape, and the military records were much better than those of the Galedonians, and out of friendship with their countrymen - and, of course, in order to buy people's hearts, as soon as they entered the city, the Boulognes began to put the law and order in order, and on the first day alone, hundreds of clashes broke out between them and the Galledonian soldiers, eager to make a small fortune, and soldiers from both sides could be seen fighting and cursing each other in every city.
Abel walked through the streets where the flood waters had receded, carefully observing his surroundings while recording what he saw in a small notebook with a quill pen.
"The Galledonian troublemakers who have been caught, regardless of their position, will be beaten up by me first! What? Afraid of falling out with the Caledonians? Hahahaha, have you all forgotten the bloodless torture that I usually give you? I tell you that torture is not only a technique but also an art! Art, you know? Oh, God, it seems that my heart is completely broken...... Don't snicker, do you understand!" Angus, dressed in a sassy red robe, didn't care about the stares around him, and reprimanded his subordinates on the street as he pleased, not caring at all that these words might be heard by the Galledonians - of course, he may have deliberately wanted the Galledonians to listen.
When Abel saw Angus's figure, he quickly put on his hat and lowered his head, covering his face - he didn't want to be recognized by Angus and then be taken to enjoy the bloodless punishment.
"Oh, it seems that there are a lot of rats on the street......" Angus said casually, which made Abel shiver uncontrollably, and he couldn't care about anything else, and hurried out of the area along the shadows of the street corner. He prayed quietly as he walked, and complained by the way: "Those big guys above are really, can't you send some more professional people to do this kind of work? If I am caught and confess any information, it will not be my responsibility......
But what he didn't notice was that after Angus said the words that frightened him, he sniffed around like a dog, and then frowned: "Why is there a smell of rotting corpses everywhere, no wonder there are so many rats." Tsk, look at all of them so fat, they must have eaten a lot of human flesh. I don't know how many people have died in Pali these days...... Damn, there's a weird smell on my body, I have to take a good bath when I go back!"
His observations were indeed astute, but alas, he didn't figure out what these details meant. No one could have imagined that the city of Pali would soon face a terrible catastrophe......
To the south, the remnants of Capet's army in retreat.
"Yesterday I made 25,000 stoves, and today I made 15,000 stoves...... No, it's too obvious, it's good to get 18,000 mouthfuls. Although he was like a lost dog at the moment, Sinampei couldn't help but smile proudly when he looked at the map.
"Si, are you Seris so treacherous?" Looking at Sinampe's treacherous look, Flesois sneered.
"This is called the wisdom of using soldiers, do you understand!" Si Nanpei snorted, "False and real, true and false, this is a lesson that a general must learn before going into battle to lead the troops." This is a basic skill in our Seris. ”
"Well, I wish I never had the chance to fight the Seris in my life......" Flesois muttered.
Sinampei felt a sense of intellectual superiority again. This is just the old wisdom of the battle of Sun Bin Maling, and this guy who bluffed was stunned!
But that's not enough. Sinampe took out his notebook and began to calculate again: "The Duke of Boulogne must not go south, so if you remove the strength of the Boulogne, I wonder how many people from the Galledonian will chase after you......"
After all, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles.
