Section 288 Desire

Parry saw the woman while he was looking at the sick and wounded.

There are not many women in Neustria, and most of the civilians here have left. Most of the remaining women were also family members of merchants, the kind that provided for the munitions. Of course, there is another kind, and that is prostitution.

But Parry was pretty sure the woman in front of him wasn't. Because according to an obvious fact: the women who mix in a group of Qiuba to make money are not big beauties. In the barracks, women could not be sold for a high price - soldiers did not have that much money, and the number of senior officers was very limited.

When Parry saw her, the woman was choosing. This is a very common job, and in order to keep the horses healthy and vigorous, the forage needs to be crushed into crumbs. She wore a light-colored sleeveless shirt on her upper body and a blue long skirt with multiple patches on her lower body, working seriously, and wiping the sweat from her forehead with her hands from time to time.

Parry just stood there stupidly, like a puppet, not moving for a long time—not even blinking an eyelid.

That woman is really ...... So beautiful.

There are many kinds of beauties in this world, at least Parry thinks he has seen countless - after all, he comes from a famous family, and if you want to talk about women, she has a little confidence in her vision. But this woman was beyond his common sense.

In fact, the woman's face was nothing special, the eyes were eyes, the nose was the nose, and she didn't conjure anything else. But I don't know what's going on, the facial features that can only be regarded as "ordinary" when separated are combined, but they have an inexplicable attraction when combined, and they attract the man's eyes to his body and can no longer be removed.

She was wearing just the clothes of an ordinary miscellaneous woman (just like the work she did), but she unconsciously showed her figure in accordance with her sloppy movements. Parry has seen a woman with a fiery body, but she has not seen a woman so perfect, so bumpy, so spit on her.

She's not pretty, but she can charm people, she's not sexy, but she directly arouses your desire to sin.

This is not Parry's personal delusion or fantasies. In fact, the same is true of the few retinues that followed him. The few of them stood at a distance not far away, staring intently at the woman's step.

The woman didn't notice it - maybe she found out and didn't care. It is conceivable that such a woman has long been accustomed to the gaffes of men. She slowly finished the work in her hand and dragged away with a large basket of prepared hay.

It wasn't until her back disappeared that several people came to their senses.

Because it was several people who lost their temper at the same time, there was no embarrassment between each other. Parry looked at a few of his attendants and coughed softly.

"Ahem...... Which of you have seen that woman?"

The attendants exchanged glances with each other, then shook their heads. Obviously, they were also seeing this woman for the first time.

"Young Master," said an older servant. "She must have been new, otherwise such a beautiful girl would not have gone unnoticed. ”

"New here...... Has there been a new arrival lately? the plague that broke out before...... I remember scaring away quite a few people. ”

"Oh, young master, the greed of merchants knows no bounds, even beyond their fear of death. The servant replied. "I've seen new caravans enter the city these days, bringing some new goods......"

"Goods?"

"Some cured meat, wine, tobacco, spices and stuff. Another attendant replied. "Yesterday I saw a couple of merchants selling weapons and armor coming into the city. Something suddenly occurred to him. "General, I think this woman ...... It's not normal, could it be some kind of Chaos Believer......"

"Nonsense, just found out that there are Chaos believers mixed into the army, and the church has sent people to investigate it everywhere! How can the spies of the Chaos Legion get in under such circumstances. Another retorted.

"Yes......" Parry reluctantly glanced in the direction the woman had gone. "You guys, help me find out the identity of this woman. ”

Several of his subordinates took the order and left.

Truth be told, a few of Parry's entourage were quick to act. One important reason for this is that they are familiar with the city of Neustria. It used to be the place where General Rafa was stationed, but now Rafa has gone to the rear to "recuperate", and the city has also been heavily covered by the war. But they still have an intelligence advantage that outsiders don't have. Parry returned to his lodgings, and before his chair was hot, his subordinates sent news.

"It's the tobacco merchant's daughter......" Parry said with some emotion. On the surface, he was emotional, but in fact he was reminiscing about the mesmerizing amazement just now. That's not an ordinary look, even if it's not an exaggeration to call it a peerless beauty.

"Yes, her father is an ordinary-looking person, but I don't know what happened, and gave birth to a daughter who is all over the country. The subordinates are really emotional. Thanks to Parry's orders, he met not only the girl again, but also her father, the tobacco merchant. Those two people really don't seem to be related. However, there was no doubt about this, as there were several people in the caravan who could prove that the two of them were indeed father and daughter. "Maybe it's because I inherited my mother's looks. ”

"Well, are you married?" judging by her appearance, the girl should be between sixteen and twenty years old.

"No! Not to mention marriage, not even engagement!"

"Oh, not really. "Although it is said that commoners marry a little later than nobles, how can a girl with such beauty lack suitors?

"It's said to be because of her father. The tobacco merchant didn't want to marry his daughter to anyone, he wanted her to be able to ...... Break away from the ranks of the commoners, let's say marry a high lord or something...... Preferably a great boost to his business. ”

"yes, it's really the essence of a businessman. Parry said nonchalantly, but if anyone looked at him head-on, they would see that the flame in his eyes was getting stronger. "You go down first. ”

The servant left, and Parry sat alone in a chair. He was calm on the surface, but in fact his mind was full of memories of the tobacco merchant's daughter. After a few moments, he felt his mouth dry and grabbed the cup from the table and drank it down. But after drinking the drink, he realized that he felt thirstier. A certain desire transcended the shackles of reason, lingering in his mind menacingly, refusing to leave.

For many years, Parry had thought she would have a chance to become the Queen's husband – and even the next King. So in his private life he was quite clean (by aristocratic standards, of course). Because he has strong competitors, and in this competition, any point is precious. He couldn't ruin his future because of his momentary indulgence.

However, things are unpredictable. In the blink of an eye, his hopes of becoming the Queen's husband had become so slim that there were no more illusions about it. Now he has no reason to be as self-controlled as he used to be, isn't he?

"Young Master. The door to the room was pushed open, and half of his face came in through the crack in the door. "Didn't you say you were going to a military meeting?"

"Not going!" Parry said. "If you go and reply, you can say that I'm uncomfortable...... Anyway, there won't be any serious action for a while, and the meeting is just a notification of some boring news. ”

The door was re-shut.

"That woman ......," Parry said viciously, slamming the cup on the table. Uncontrollable evil thoughts swelled in his heart, and even he didn't realize that his feelings were unnatural. In this city, he is the big man in the military, and the tobacco merchant is just an outsider!

......

"The Chaos Legion hasn't moved. "Or maybe they're still doing what we estimated before, leaving part of their forces to besiege Gaohua City, and the rest of the troops to attack." ”

"Although they choose to avoid the hard bone of Gaohua City, they will not take any advantage. Barranca replied contemplatively. "This area...... Each settlement had strong fortifications. Truth be told, there are places that are even harder to attack than Gaohua Castle - every castle is a hard walnut...... In some places, large armies are not even allowed to deploy at all, and it is difficult for the superiority in troops to come into play. ”

Ashrufat's gaze looked at Beller, "Is there any special news?" Maybe they can't break through, but at least they can use the teleportation scroll. ”

"Baron Dogan's castle has fallen. Béral pondered for a moment and replied. "The battle lasted six days, and in the end the Chaos Legion paved the way for the attack with corpses. In desperation, the Frontier Lord first used a teleportation scroll to convey the news of the battle to Eagle Castle, and then detonated the castle's powder magazine...... He's a valiant nobleman!, which means that the Chaos Legion has suffered huge casualties and nothing has been gained. If I'm not mistaken, this kind of thing happens over and over again. Then, sooner or later, the Chaos Legion will realize that there is no point in dividing their forces in all directions except for the loss of troops...... Theoretically, yes. ”

"However, from a situational point of view, wait until the Chaos Legion realizes that this is wrong...... It will take at least a month, and they will have to hit a wall everywhere before they come to the right conclusion. In other words, we can use this month to recharge our batteries and wait patiently. "Barrancati yì. Having said that, his eyes were on Beller. Everyone saw something special in Beller's face.

"Logically so, that's right. Bayrell said. "But I always had a sense of foreboding...... We know that this invading Chaos Legion includes the subordinates of the four evil gods...... Sadistic believers, a Chaos Lord known as the Bloodfang Lord, is the commander of this Chaos Legion. A Chaos Lord who believes in apopathy may not be good at machinations and tricks, but the subordinates of other evil gods are not so simple. At least I don't think it's that simple. In fact, I personally feel that they probably won't use any tactical traps...... Because they have reason to think that we must be very cautious, and use some means that have nothing to do with combat. ”
