"Have Ms. Nymesis been found?" Leto asked in a tired voice when he opened his eyes again. The continuous battles made this veteran of the November War feel a little unable to hold on. After all, he had already been on the battlefield.
As he gets older, he no longer has the courage he once had.
The people in the room shook their heads in silence. Most of them had experienced the long battle. As the lucky ones who survived the war, almost everyone was a warrior who had experienced hundreds of battles.
.
"The last time we saw Ms. Nymesis was to the north of Mintai Fort. After the rebels captured it, a wizard blocked our way, and then the rebels blocked our connection with the north gate."
"Is there still fighting going on in the north gate direction?"
"The rebels have surrounded the place."
"Have you tried attacking?"
"We tried it, but the rebels invested an incredible amount of troops there, and our manpower is far from enough, boss."
"The rebels are so focused on this place, which shows that Ms. Nymesis may still be alive. We must find a way to rescue her." Leto knocked on the dusty table and set the tone. Almost everyone present
He's his old buddy, and he doesn't have to be polite when he talks.
"But..." Everyone in the room looked embarrassed. If conditions allowed, they would of course rescue the commander at all costs. However, there are not even enough troops to defend Mintai's main castle. How can they find the manpower?
Support elsewhere.
"That knight lady belongs to Her Royal Highness the Princess, but Mintai Castle is the lord's property. We are the lord's retainers. Do we really want to give up this fortress for her?"
A voice asked weakly in the corner.
Leto glanced in that direction and shook his head: "Guys," he said: "Do you really think that our lord values Tonigel? Can't you see that the lord has great ambitions?
When it comes to Tony Geer and Fir Leader, I’m afraid even Eruin doesn’t put them in his eyes.”
"Think about it, someone like the Lord. If he had agreed to the invitation of the female leader Cruz to join the empire, would his status be comparable to that of Count Tonigel? Everything he did in Eruin
, why did he bring us here from Braggs to overthrow the rule of that damn Baron Grudin and his lackeys?”
Leto looked at his old friends one by one, "Didn't you notice? The lord never asked us to swear allegiance to him, because what he wanted was not to become another Grand Duke Anlek. I once
I have privately heard his discussion with Her Royal Highness the Princess, Miss Antitina. I think what the adults want is exactly what we have longed for during the long years of war - a truly complete, free and independent
At the mercy of others, Eruin stands above Warnd."
"Guys," he said softly: "We were born in Prague, but Tonigel is indeed our second hometown, but compared to this, we have another common identity. Don't forget, we
We are Eruin's soldiers. At this time, we should abandon those selfish interests. We are the subordinates of the Earl, so we should stand up and prove that you are aboveboard."
Leto pointed to the battlefield outside the perforation and replied: "If each of us conveys the Earl's belief, when this belief extends to the entire Eruin, everyone in this kingdom will be deeply affected.
When we take it for granted, our ideals, the ideals of Your Majesty the Earl and Her Royal Highness the Princess, will be realized."
There was silence in the room.
“Can we do something like that?”
"Yes, this is too troublesome. It sounds like a headache. Boss, are you sure this is something that we rough guys can do? That is something that only civil servants and nobles need to worry about, right?"
"But boss, when did you become so polite? Haha."
The laughter seemed to be contagious, and everyone in the room soon started laughing. Leto himself also laughed and shook his head, and cursed: "Shut up, you damn idiots. After all, I was also a noble knight back then, like
It's Mano, who was still my retainer back then. Following you vulgar guys, I even lost all my old skills. Okay. Stop talking nonsense, you are right, we are the lord's retainers, but since we are the lord
As your lord's retainers, we have to carry out your lord's will, so Ms. Nymesis, you have to be saved even if you don't."
Although everyone was joking on the surface, Leto made the decision, and no one dared to object. People exited the room in an orderly manner and began to gather their subordinates, as if they had returned to the time decades ago, nothing more than
It's just fighting. For veterans, it's as natural as eating and drinking.
…
"you're awake?"
When Nymesis woke up from her dazed state, she saw a familiar face.
It was a beautiful girl. She had a pair of narrow, bright eyes, slightly narrowed, and her pupils were dark, like dots of ink. The girl's skin was an inhuman white, as delicate as jade, and she had a waterfall.
Her ebony-like long hair reflected light, like stars in the night sky. But all of Nymesis's attention was attracted by the dark gem on the other person's forehead - it was a long, narrow, diamond-shaped black gem.
crystal.
The girl blushed in anger, followed the female knight's gaze and recalled the humiliation she felt when she got the gem on her forehead, and snorted coldly.
"Kou Hua...?"
Nymesis was startled by her hoarse voice. She thought of what happened in Rushta and hesitated for a moment before speaking again: "Where is this place? Has Mintai fallen? I am you now
prisoners? After you left Rushta, did you also join those Bugans, or did they really join forces with the Dragon of Twilight?"
"I haven't fallen into the same situation as those Sasardians," Black Kouhua replied angrily: "You are such a disgusting woman. Just like that guy, don't mortals even have a little sense of courtesy and honor?"
Well, I saved your life."
"You're back again...?" Nimesis was stunned: "Thank you..."
There was a scream outside, and the trebuchet's stone bullet hit somewhere not far away. The house shook and dust fell.
Nymesis felt it silently for a moment, and then asked: "So I am still Mintai here. How long have I been unconscious? Are Mr. Leto and the others still resisting? Miss Kouhua, can you take me to the municipal government?"
hall?"
"I advise you not to have this delusion, and I have no obligation to serve you," Hei Kouhua said angrily: "You saved your life purely because of good luck. If it weren't for this guy, even if I was in time,
When we arrive, you will be dead by then."
Only then did Nimasis notice that there was a young man behind Kou Hua. When she saw him, she couldn't help but be startled, because that man was Overwell's second son, who left Mintai Castle early in the morning.
A young knight searching for information.
The young man noticed Nimasis's look, stood up quickly, and said with some urgency: "Miss Nimasis, I know you are doubting that I still have my father, but I assure you that my father is
It is absolutely impossible to betray Her Highness the Princess, there must be something hidden in this."
He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and replied: "I can guarantee it with my life!"
Nymesis rubbed her sore forehead and finally recalled everything that happened before she fell into coma. At that time, she almost thought she had died at the hands of the monster. But it seemed that a lot more happened after she fell into coma.
matter.
"I...shouldn't I die?"
Nymesis subconsciously touched the wound on her chest. The sword wound was still there, almost penetrating her chest and abdomen. That sword should have pierced her heart.
"You should indeed be dead. This penetrating injury has penetrated your heart. For any mortal, this is a fatal injury."
Dark Kou Hua paused.
"But the strange thing is that you are still alive. Don't ask me why, because I don't know. Maybe it was your Lord Martha who saved your life."
Nymesis was silent for a moment. There was a vague feeling in her heart that she couldn't grasp, but she couldn't express it.
"In addition, this guy saved you from those monsters with all his life," Dark Kou Hua continued to answer: "Otherwise I wouldn't have the ability. Those monsters are the minions of the Twilight Dragon. We call them the Neng clan.
, except for the unique marked weapons of the Goddess of War, no one can really kill them."
"Hmph, now even the Neng clan has reappeared. I really don't know why mother thinks so favorably of you. It's just a small human kingdom. You can't deal with it, whether it's the Sasardians or the minions of the Twilight Dragon.
"
Nymesis sighed after hearing this and said to the young man: "I can believe you, but you can't guarantee your father. In any case, Mr. Overwell is responsible for everything that happened here.
Shirking responsibility.”
"No," the young man shook his head: "Miss Nimesis, something may have happened to my father."
"What?"
"Since Her Royal Highness the Princess and Prince Haruze left Tonigel, my father has been writing to me every week. On the one hand, it is to let me know about the situation in Jean Denel and Lantonilan, and on the other hand, it is also to keep in touch.
But I haven’t received a letter from my father for more than a week. I didn’t think it was anything at first, but I didn’t expect such a thing to happen..."
The young man was a little annoyed and worried and replied: "It's all my fault, Miss Nymesis. If I had been more vigilant earlier, maybe this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. My father..."
