Chapter 218: Sherlock's Choice
Yun Hai nodded secretly, Akali's thoughts were with his own thoughts, and now he was benevolent to these surrenderers, and the resisters of the other two gates outside the city would definitely be moved, so that this battle would end smoothly.
Sure enough, without much killing, this seemingly vigorous defensive battle of Paris achieved a successful result, the enemy army of more than 50,000 people except for thousands of Triste diehards, all surrendered, and Akali still exerted her excellent eloquence, enveloping this huge number of surrendered troops, finally, by the early morning of the next day, more than 30,000 of the more than 40,000 troops chose to join Akali's troops and be loyal to them, while the rest chose to go home to reunite with their families, and at the same time, 20,000 reinforcements from the direction of Hamburg finally came to Paris under the leadership of Nelson。
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess, it's all over here, and I can't help at all......" Nelson felt a look on his face.
"Don't say that, you've come at the right time. Akali looked funny in her heart, this tenacious guy actually apologized for not catching up with the defense of Paris, but as everyone knows, Akali didn't let them defend Paris at all. "Although Diño's army of 60,000 has been wiped out, our comrades-in-arms Marseille rebels are still trapped in the city of Orleans, and now Reinhardt and Sherlock are uncertain, we will now gather our troops and horses to kill Orleans and destroy the enemy directly, Nelson, this is the mission I asked you to come, are you confident to complete it?"
"Yes, none of us Viking men are greedy for life and afraid of death!" replied Nelson resoundingly.
"Very good, straighten out your troops, twelve o'clock at noon, set off on time!"
Akali decided to take advantage of the victory and lead 50,000 men to set out to settle the siege of Orleans, and left Caterina to guard Paris for the time being, in case the same surprise attack happened to her.
At the same time, the city of Orleans was filled with gunsmoke.
"Woo......" Sherlock slowly opened his eyes, but it was still dark in front of him, his ears were still ringing, and he couldn't see anything.
"What's wrong with me? Am I really dead and in hell?" Sherlock couldn't figure out what was going on, she tried to move, but she couldn't, she was still wrapped in cold, and she couldn't help but shiver.
"It's cold, it's cold......" Sherlock muttered in a barely audible voice.
But at this moment, suddenly, a warm and broad body hugged him, and that cold feeling was also dispelled, followed by a kind of warmth gushing out from the inside out.
“......?”
Finally, the darkness in front of Sherlock's eyes gradually faded, and she finally saw clearly, the person holding her at this time had a handsome face, blonde hair, but the complexion was very pale, and it seemed that she was not in good health......
And this person is none other than Reinhardt!
"Ah————h
Sherlock subconsciously screamed, but Reinhardt covered his mouth and almost couldn't breathe.
"Don't shout, others will misunderstand!" Reinhardt whispered.
Sherlock nodded desperately before Reinhardt let go of her.
"You guy, you actually take advantage of people's danger......"
"What a danger!" Reinhardt felt aggrieved. "Didn't you say you were cold, and then I'll warm you, is there a problem?"
"I ......" Sherlock thought about it for a moment, and found that it seemed to be the case, and the two of them stared at each other for a few minutes, until Sherlock broke the almost frozen atmosphere with a dry cough.
"How's your condition?
"Thanks to your timely rescue, I didn't even expect to survive. Reinhardt shook his head. "I've heard from the priest about the specific things, in fact, after the blood transfusion, you lost a greater percentage of blood than me, so you have been in a coma for a longer time, and I can now get out of bed and move, and I should be completely recovered in a short time. ”
"yes, that's great......" Sherlock nodded. "Thank you, thank you for saving all the people of Orleans......"
"No, I'm not that noble, you were the only one I wanted to save at that time......" Reinhardt interrupted Sherlock in a low voice. "I know what an unforgivable thing I have done, I hate my cowardice, I hate my cowardice, I have been living in self-blame and guilt, but at that moment, I finally let go of my ......"
"You're always so self-righteous. Sherlock said in a nutshell. "Do you think that you will be able to make up for all the things you did at that time with such a sacrifice, do you? Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this, and if you die, will I really be happy?
Crystal tears crossed Sherlock's pale face, she stared at Reinhardt's flustered face in a daze, and murmured, "As long as you are that valiant and noble knight, in order to protect everything you love until the last knight, you are my dear, welcome back, Reinhardt, I am finally ...... Wait until this day......"
"How is that possible!" Exclaimed Reinhardt. "I've done such a heinous thing, I betrayed you, and I can still get your forgiveness, is it really fair?"
"Maybe it's not fair, but I'm willing to forgive you, and God, too. Sherlock smiled and replied in the affirmative. "It's a pity that I don't have the strength to get up at all now, so I can't bake a cake for you......"
"Silly girl, don't say it, don't say it......" Reinhardt's heart was sour when he heard this, he held Sherlock's pale hand tightly, and whispered: "It doesn't matter if you're all right, as long as you're all safe, as long as you're all safe......"
Sherlock gently closed her eyes and let Reinhardt's heartbeat pass through her fingertips, knowing that her bond with Reinhardt could never be untied, and it was so deeply entangled.
That night, he betrayed her, and this night, he guarded her, such a grievance, who can say clearly, the way is clear?
And the only thing that two people understand is that they should cherish each other and never lose each other again.
"Now, Reinhardt, you say, when the Marseille rebels are officially incorporated into Princess Akali's army, I will remove my status as a nun," Sherlock whispered.
"Of course I support it, but I'm afraid that the old stubbornness of Notre-Dame Cathedral won't let you go, after all, the thing of becoming a clergyman and reverting to being an ordinary person almost never happens. ”
"There's always a way. Sherlock's soft words shone with confidence. "If I want to, I'll do it. ”
Reinhardt knows very well that this girl from a peasant family has a rare spirit of perseverance, and lives with great self-esteem, and is a person who will never give in, just like when she learned of her betrayal, she directly chose to give up everything, and after she joined the church, this spirit also helped her all the way to become the youngest female pastor, and when Trist swept across Europe, she was the first to raise the banner of resistance as a woman, in Reinhardt's view, this quiet and gentle girl was actually an invincible giant in spirit。
"Well, you have a good rest, you must be hungry too, I'll go get you something to eat. Reinhardt slowly stood up, pushed open the door and left the room.
"......" watched Reinhardt's stumbling steps, and Sherlock smiled, laughing so happily, so beautifully, that the smile never appeared on her face again after she joined the church.
"I'm sorry, I searched all over Orleans and couldn't find a cow, so I had to get a glass of sugar water to make do with it......," Reinhardt's hand trembling as he held the plate and gently placed the black bread and sugar water in front of Sherlock's bed, his face full of apologies.
"Nonsense, we've been besieged for so long, if there were cows in the city, they would have become beef long ago, how could we still keep ......" Sherlock glared at him angrily and amusefully. "Tell me about the current situation first?"
"Well, that's right, after I killed Diño, his 60,000 troops began to rout, in a vain attempt to recapture Paris, but they were completely disintegrated by Princess Akali's tactics, and now, the war in Paris has been pacified, and I believe that it will not be long before the 60,000 troops of the four Renaults will also be completely wiped out. ”
"Really? That's great news. Now Sherlock was as strong as a lily swaying in the wind, and she nodded weakly and continued, "What about the situation in the city?"
"The remaining 60,000 enemy troops launched several more attacks, but the morale of the soldiers was surprisingly high, and the south gate was directly blocked with huge stones, so the enemy finally returned in vain, and the situation in the city is still very safe. ”
"It's thanks to your bravery that everyone will be inspired. ”
"Ahem, I'm always a little embarrassed to say that......" Reinhardt scratched his head.
"You......" Sherlock didn't have the strength to complain about something, and said softly, "Help me up, I'll eat something first, I'm starving to death after being in a coma for so long......"
"Hmmm......"
Finally, Akali's troops quickly set up another encirclement outside the army besieging Orleans City, although the number of 50,000 troops is inferior to the opponent, but in terms of morale and combat effectiveness, Akali's troops can easily tear the rabble in front of them to pieces.
