The battle was over and Reggie was unconscious. Several soldiers carried him to a barracks and then went to look for other wounded.
Reggie was just thrown on the straw mat, as if he had been forgotten by everyone. In fact, many people were looking for him, because there were still many things waiting for him to do, but no one was looking for the right place, waiting for Camilla
When he found the barracks, he had already fallen asleep on the straw mat for several hours.
"This is how you treat your lord!" Camilla cried, "I really shouldn't have saved you ungrateful beasts!"
I really don’t blame the soldiers. They searched carefully and found that Hanfeng Fortress was in chaos, and every building was extremely similar. They had just experienced a purgatory-like war, and everyone was not so clear-headed.
Camilla wiped the blood off Reggie's face and found that his face was not all other people's blood, but also his own.
From the corner of his eye to his chin, there was a horrific wound on his left face, with gravel and shrapnel mixed in the wound.
Camilla carefully cleaned away the debris on the wound, disinfected it with alcohol, and sutured the wound. It was confirmed that Reggie had no other fatal injuries, and Camilla let out a sigh of relief.
"Sir, just leave this to us," an assistant ran over and said, "There are still many wounded waiting for you."
"I'm not going anywhere!" Camila wiped away her tears, "You just lied to me. You said he was not injured. You have no idea where he is!"
The assistant knelt on one knee and said: "We are doctors, we must treat the seriously injured first. This is our bounden duty and the order of the lord!"
"Go away from your bounden duty. I told you I'm not going anywhere! I want to guard my man!" Camilla was yelling hysterically. The assistant did not dare to say any more. Jiawen stepped forward and said, "We will
I have always protected the lord, never leaving. Please believe me. There are still many wounded waiting for your treatment. The lord also hopes that they will survive. I beg you..."
Under Jarvan's pleading, Camilla gave in.
"Don't care about the ones who can't die, don't care about the ones who are already dead, just send over the ones who are about to die!"
"But they..."
"No need to say more, I won't leave here!"
…
Reggie slept for a whole day and didn't wake up until late at night. A strand of hair fell on Reggie's face. This feeling seemed familiar.
Every day when he wakes up in the castle, Shirley's hair will always fall on his face, followed by that sweet smile that can make people melt.
Shirley came to Hanmaple Fortress?
Wait a minute, don't speak in a hurry. If you admit the wrong person, you will get into big trouble.
Reggie tried to force out a smile, but the pain from the wound prevented him from smiling. When he saw the other person's face clearly, Reggie immediately grabbed the dagger at his waist.
The person in front of me is not Shirley, but Sophia.
"You're awake." Sophia looked at Reggie with a smile, and her smile made Reggie's hair stand on end.
Reggie struggled to sit up, climbed a few steps backwards, straightened his waist, and looked around.
Where is this place? Why is Sophia here? Has she been captured? Isn't this the barracks of Hanfeng Fortress? Has Hanfeng Fortress been lost?
"Don't be afraid, I just came to see you," Sophia touched Reggie's cheek, bit her lip and said, "You are hurt, and I am hurt too."
After saying that, Sophia pulled open the skirt of her clothes, leaving a wound on her chest.
"I have to leave. I will set off in a while," Sophia sighed. "Shaun took the Icefield City, and some lords followed him and launched a rebellion."
After figuring out the current situation, Reggie relaxed a little. Hanmaple Fortress did not miss. It was Sophia who sneaked into Hanmaple Fortress alone. The war was over. She came to say goodbye to Reggie.
"Why bother?" Reggie smiled bitterly, "The Bayer country has such a vast territory, and you have already become the queen, why do you have to fight to the death for a fortress?"
"It's my turn to ask you this!" Sophia sat next to Reggie with a look of resentment. "There are countless places in this world waiting for you to conquer, why are you unwilling to return this fortress to me?"
"I must have a barrier to guard against you. I can't let my people endure your bullying and plunder all the time!"
"I have to guard against you too! You are more vicious than the most evil devil in the world!"
"Hanfeng Fortress belongs to me now. You promised to give it to me in the first place!"
"When I was coerced by you, it was a forced promise!"
"How shameless. When have I ever coerced you? Without my help, how could you become the queen?"
"I am so shameless, every king is so shameless!"
…
The two quarreled like children for a long time, until Sophia blocked Reggie's mouth with her lips: "How long do you want to quarrel? I'm leaving, I'm leaving soon, this may be me
See you for the last time!"
Reggie let out a long sigh, hugged this proud and vicious queen, and kissed her hard.
They kissed for more than ten minutes. During these ten minutes, they forgot about their hatred and resentment towards each other, and just waited for time to freeze here.
There was a faint sound of horns in the distance, which was a signal that Bayer's army was about to set off. Sophia pushed Reggie away and wiped the tears on her cheeks: "Did you know that Salah is still alive, although I don't know if he is still alive."
How long can I live? I promised him one thing. I will not attack Hanfeng Fortress again until Sean and the Frost Demon are completely eliminated."
"It seems that I want to thank the Marquis for his kindness."
"He's a Duke now."
"Really?" Reggie sneered, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"No, I'm leaving." Sophia stood up slowly and walked slowly to the wall. Reggie suddenly called out: "Sophie."
Sophia turned back and said with a smile: "Can't bear to leave? It's useless. I have to go. I could have done more things, but you idiot always quarreled with me."
"What I want to say is..." Reggie hesitated for a moment and said, "Be kind to your people. They have endured too much pain for you. I have hoarded a lot of food. If you need it, I can help you."
Sophia's eyes were a little red. No matter what she had experienced, Reggie loved her after all.
"How much do you plan to give me?" Sophia looked at Reggie affectionately.
"It is impossible to give it away. Due to the special feelings between us, ten copper coins per pound of grain cannot be less."
"Go to hell, you devil!" Sophia left angrily and walked outside the wall. She glanced at Modesa who was standing by the wall, stretched out her hand and said, "Give me back my things.
"
Modessa returned the sword and dagger to Sophia. Without his permission, Sophia would have no chance to get close to Reggie.
"Protect your lord, and be sure to let him live." Sophia gave her final instruction.
"Don't worry," Modesa smiled, "If he dies, I will send you there to stay with him."
…
Reggie stretched and stood up with difficulty, every joint in his body ached.
He wanted to breathe some fresh air, but saw Camilla squatting at the door, torturing a group of ants on the ground.
"H-Hello... haven't you rested yet?" Reggie said a super awkward greeting.
"Are they comfortable? How are her lips? Do they taste better than mine?" Camila looked up at Reggie, and the resentment in her eyes made Reggie tremble.
"You, you know everything, why don't you go in and take a look?"
"What are you looking at? Are you looking at how you are making out? Do you think I am that interested?"
"I mean, you, you are friends, old friends, aren't you?"
"She and I are no longer friends. You are my man, she is your enemy, and from now on, she is also my enemy." Camila took Reggie's hand, returned to the barracks, and took Reggie to the barracks.
He pressed it on his knees.
"Don't move around. Let me check your wounds. I really should leave a few more scars on your face to make you an ugly monster so that you won't be a troublemaker everywhere."
At dawn the next day, Reggie went to visit Erwin. His condition was very bad. Although he was out of danger, he was so weak that he could hardly open his eyes.
Reggie knew he had a lot to say to himself, but he tried his best to say only one thing: "Let those women come out."
"Those women," Reggie laughed, "how many women have you hidden?"
"Thousands, you know."
Erwin was referring to the agreement he made with the group of women and children. They were not allowed to leave the room until the battle was over. After the battle was over, they could see their men and receive twenty silver coins.
Reggie happily fulfilled Erwin's promise, which is a good start, at least it proves that Erwin has begun to identify with these outsiders.
The women held their children in their arms and carefully walked out of the house. Last night, the iron hooves of war horses trampled in front of their door. Today, there are still stumps and flesh and blood hanging on their door panels, but they stubbornly held on to their door.
Just because of their family status, they are qualified to receive rewards.
Reggie had prepared some rhetoric in advance to win people's hearts, but seeing the fear on the faces of these women, Reggie felt that this rhetoric didn't seem to make much sense.
"You are all brave people! Every one of you! Your men will come to reunite with you soon. Be sure to tell them your stories! Also, remember to come and get the money..."
Jiawen and Calaf are discussing repairing the city wall. They are worried that the enemy will counterattack at any time, and they must find a way to repair the city wall as soon as possible.
Jiawen said: "First select usable stones from the ruins and build the city wall with cement. This is the fastest way!"
Jiawen's method is indeed the fastest, but Khalaf is a little hesitant: "I'm afraid such a wall can't stop the black fans."
"We don't have time, let's find a way to stop the Bayers first..."
"Don't be so impatient," Reggie interrupted Jiawen, "The Bayers will not come again in the short term. I found the formula from an ancient book. There is a new type of material that is extremely strong, even stronger than the original city wall.
tough."
"This is impossible," Khalaf shook his head. "The original material comes from the white rock of Bayer Country. This stone is comparable to steel."
"The material I used is mixed with steel," Reggie said with a smile. "I will give you the formula in a moment. You can use this material to replace all the damaged city walls."
Ordinary concrete can be made by using cement as gel, sand and gravel as aggregate, and adding water and mixing.
After pouring the cushion layer, tying the steel bars, making formwork with wood, and pouring the mixed concrete into the formwork, the rest is a series of simple tasks such as vibrating, leveling, curing, and removing the formwork.
The hardness of reinforced concrete may not be as good as the stone from the Bayer country, but it is superior in strength. Reggie firmly believes that it can withstand the inferior gunpowder from the Bayer country.
After giving the formula to Khalaf, Reggie hurried back to Shattering Snow City. On the way, he kept thinking about a problem. He wanted to complete his great farming business with peace of mind, but in the past year, he has been beaten.
He was even besieged by the Four Nations Allied Forces.
These countries all had reasons to beat him, but in Reggie's opinion, there was only one fundamental reason.
They thought they were easy to bully and won every defensive battle, but Reggie didn't really hurt them.
Reggie didn't want to cause unnecessary killings, but now that he thought about it, it was just his wishful thinking. In this era, on this continent, some things must be solved with fists.
Now they must know the pain. Starting with Charlemagne, Reggie wants him to understand the feeling of being pressed to the ground and rubbed.
