The "contingency" of Ustan and Igor did not cause much commotion, and Theodore had clarified the matter as it had been at the early morning party, and had called the two men over to confront them face to face, and the result was of course surprising and very dramatic.

The eldest lady of the Bezarro family didn't care about Ustan next to her, whose face turned from blue to blue, pinched her waist and confidently declared in front of all the high-ranking members of the coalition forces: "Ustan is my person, and all those who want to hit him must be approved by me!"

Extremely embarrassed, Handel was speechless, so he had to excuse it as some customs of the northern settlements, and most of the Noldor elves were still very conservative. This made Salad very disappointed, because the next place to go was the south instead of the north, and the Noldor army from the north was still mostly male samurai, and the type like Igo was definitely rare and extremely rare.

However, considering that the Bezaro family is one of the oldest Noldor clans after all, Zuihou's decision plan is still up to them. Moreover, Ustan was born in a famous Roman family, and the opinions of the Constantine family should also be respected, so it is impossible to ignore them like this.

However, whether or not the two sides were able to do so, it would not affect the agreement of the Covenant - this was Theodore's main concern, and the large quantities of spices that Noldor had promised to deliver, as well as a lot of grain that could be stored, and the seeds of high-yielding crops, would be transported together when Rome withdrew.

The focus of the discussion was again on the matter of moving south to recapture New Gar. It is obviously unlikely that the southern Noldor settlements that want to rebuild their homes will follow along with them, and most of the northern Noldor troops accompanying them will also withdraw to rest, and the only mobile Liliang that the Forest of Silence can really mobilize is the Anduria Ranger Regiment.

As for the human alliance side, they can set off at any time -- after learning the reward of this expedition, all the warriors said that their waists and legs were not weak, and they vowed to kill under the city of Xingar and completely exterminate all the Taal orcs.

It is no wonder that the generous Rivard Hussein Bixia offered more terms than the Nordos - although the spices were good, they were very few that could actually be distributed to the soldiers, and most of the soldiers from poor backgrounds had no idea about them. But gold is a real deal! Half of the gold in Singar, you can understand with your toes what a terrible number it is, and if you divide it a little, it will be developed!

And the most important thing is that the symbolism of this battle is greater than the practical significance, there are only less than 5,000 lonely troops in the new Gar, it is almost effortless to take it down, as long as there is an inner response to open the city gate, the next thing is a matter of course, and the other half of the dwarven iron wall army wandering outside can only choose to be loyal to Rivad, otherwise they will be completely homeless.

What the coalition forces really have to do is to cooperate with Rivard to make a momentum, and definitely stand on his side, he doesn't plan to let outsiders do the matter of recovering the city - after all, it is his own country, and he is not sure whether the human coalition army can maintain civilization and not rob property after entering the city.

The integrated coalition forces are ready to go south at any time to retake New Gar -- this is also a victorious counterattack, and the orc tribes, which were originally only at war with humans, have fallen into absolute isolation.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In a small tent in the Roman barracks, Ustan sat behind a square table with a puzzled face, his left hand covering his forehead, his eyes scanning the large pile of numbers on the ledger with annoyance, and his rough fingers kept turning the hose pen in the palm of his right hand. And in front of his desk, there are stacks of large ledgers.

The tent was small, lit only by a small oil lamp, and the noise of coming and going outside made it difficult for Ustan to calm down and carefully deal with his "new work".

Probably so annoyed that he didn't even hear the footsteps of walking into the tent, which was simply unimaginable in the past, and the shrewd and capable General Ustan could not even detect the footsteps of the soldiers.

"Maybe you should ask Caesar to find you a new job, huh?" Belisarius' lively voice made Ustan look up and see the other party walking over with a smile: "A good guy like you shouldn't do this!"

"A person who has violated military discipline is not qualified to pick and choose. Ustan did not look at him again, but bowed his head and continued his work: "Besides, Caesar has not deprived me of my military position, and I am able to continue to serve in the First Legion - as a military tribune, which is already ............ It's a great honor!"

"Oh~, Mars is on top! Don't tell me that. Belisarius made an exaggerated gesture, and then sat down against the table: "You didn't do anything, did you?

"Of course, you really shouldn't go out now, at least............ It will also have to wait until those pointy ears return to their hometown. Belisarius shrugged: "You don't know, this has already spread in the barracks! Every day, a dozen elves come to us to duel with you!"

"And then. Ustan "kept plowing" and didn't even raise his head: "Just tell me the result." ”

"Yes, of course...... Go back with a disgraced face!" Belisarius shook his head disappreciatively: "The adults on both sides don't want to make trouble, so it's troublesome, so there are only some small frictions." ”

"But you can rest assured, at least the brethren are up to you!" Belisarius patted Ustan on the shoulder, and said like a big brother, "You are so proud of us that you have won such a beautiful woman quiet............ly!"

"Quite ............ Unrestrained?" Ustan said coldly.

"That's right, this is it!" Belisarius snapped his fingers and said with a bright face: "I have never seen such a wonderful girl, if it weren't for her pointed ears, I would have thought that I had seen the legendary Amazonian female warrior, it was so unrestrained!"

"Seriously, what the hell are you ............ I mean, successful?" Belisarius sat in front of Ustan with his legs crossed as if he were a "curious baby": "A little bit of experience might help me." ”

"That's what you're doing with me because you left your troops?" Ustan coped distraughtly: "No experience, that stupid ...... That woman came running over on her own and threatened me! Hehe, threaten me, it's the first time I've been threatened by a woman when I'm so old!"

"So...... Are you going to abandon her?" Belisarius blinked: "It seems that I should not have come, if this news is known to the brothers, I don't know how many people will be heartbroken!"

“............ I am a man, a Roman man, a soldier. Ulstein said, word by word: "The first thing my parents taught me when I was born was to know how to take responsibility. ”

"I'll marry her, as long as ...... The parents on both sides have no opinion, and I will make her a qualified Roman wife. Let her go to university and learn theology, philosophy, or all that a cultivated woman should know, and I will love her for the rest of my life, protect her, and swear to be as loyal to Caesar!"

“............ I have to admit that you are a good man, and there are not many good men like you. Belisarius nodded: "To this day, I don't know who my true love is, maybe ...... I should learn from you, I know...... Well, take responsibility?"

"Perhaps, you should find a woman who matches your identity and get married quickly, instead of messing around outside. Ustan said without any anger: "Otherwise, when you are old, you will not even have a descendant who can inherit your family, and there will be a bunch of outsiders who will share the family property!"

"I don't think it's your turn to teach me this, Ulstein. Belisarius was a little upset: "I like you a lot, but it doesn't mean that I will be willing to let you teach me like an old woman!"

Ustan ignored him, but continued to flip through the documents in his hand, and one of the words made him pay attention to it a little: "Go south in three days, is it so urgent?"

"Of course, our allies can't wait any longer, and it's always hard to go home. Belisarius shrugged indifferently: "In three days, we will go south to New Gar, and send all the monsters released by the demons back to hell, and let Pluto, the king of Hades, judge them!"

"But the soldiers were very tired. Ustan frowned: "After the great battle, it is too harsh to have to march long distances to attack an unusually strong city. ”

"Maybe you can speak to Caesar, but I don't think he'll listen to that—gold, grain, spices, ingots. These can only be obtained by war, and we have no choice. Belisarius shook his head: "The soldiers desire honor, but honor cannot be eaten, but gold can, so we have no choice - to let the soldiers get the same as the reward, or even several times the reward, so that they can fight more bravely in the future, forgetting their lives and death, this is the way of domination." ”

"Listen, Ulstein, you are a good commander, loyal and sensible. Caesar can't let you stay here all the time to settle the accounts, the battlefield is your fate!" Belisarius stood up and staggered out: "So you have to understand how to make the soldiers show their fighting spirit, otherwise you will not only fail the family, but also live up to Caesar!"

Ustan stood up a little strangely and looked at the back of the other party gradually leaving: "You want to tell me this?"

"Uh-huh, didn't I say it, I like you, boy!" Belisarius raised the corners of his mouth, tilted his head and turned his head, "Of course, not like that!"
