glorious fall

Here, Wood Monterey is still fighting with Jupiter. Over there, there is news that the northern rebels have suffered a big defeat in Puais City, Beger Province. The next day, Jupiter went to the bishop of Fentelier When he came to the house, he was obviously no longer as aggressive as before, and his arrogance also dropped a lot. Wood watched with a sneer, and did not put extra pressure on him. Instead, Jupiter began to consciously curry favor with him clumsily.

It was the end of spring, and the beautiful spring flowers, such as mountain cherry, daisy, and marigold, withered away in a hurry. When Jupiter received the news of the defeat of the northern rebels, his hands trembled. When his back was drenched with sweat, it was already late at night, and he got up and walked towards the bedroom. Just as he stood up, his legs gave way, and he fell back hard. Suddenly remembered, I wonder what that ambitious archbishop, Mr. Chester, is doing at this time?Is he as bewildered as he is, is he crying bitterly, is he dumbfounded, or is he furious and manic?

In fact, at the beginning, the Northern Army won many victories. The victories, large and small, may have dazzled them. Even if they changed to better generals later, their arrogance could not be curbed, let alone the change of the main generals. However, the little bosses who are actually leading the troops below still have the same dream as ordinary soldiers-take down the main city without any effort, let alone the provinces with fewer southern troops.

Outside the city of Puaisi at this moment, although the northern rebel army was defeated, the army lost a full third of its soldiers, and some wounded soldiers could not go to the battlefield for a while.However, under the strong order of his general Mosco, they did not scatter around like scattered ants, but gathered in their own battalion within a short day.

I just rushed back from the battlefield—the real main battlefield. This main battlefield is the cliff that Kolesi has used since he visited the city of Puais to inspect the surrounding geographical environment and said that he had to use it as a last resort. Broken linen was scattered or hung on the branches in a mess, and the broken bronze swords, javelins, and pikes on the ground were stuck in the ground in all directions, or randomly placed on the ground with a sense of humiliation.

When he returned to Puais City, he heard that the rebels in the southern province of Monta had already confronted the Crusaders, and three quarters of an hour later, he received news that the enemy had not yet retreated.

"This time the other party was hit hard, but they still stayed here, firstly because this is a crucial pass, and secondly," Colesi looked around at the lieutenants and school officers walking around him, "they should have other Or, they are waiting for an opportunity, a good opportunity to turn around and start over," he analyzed calmly, "and this opportunity may come from between the Southern Monta rebels and the Crusaders now."

His judgment was not wrong. Half a month later, after the repaired Steinta Provincial Army learned that the Southern Monta Provincial Army had defeated the Crusaders consecutively, its general Moskau resolutely decided to lead his own troops. The trails under the plateau of Bourson Province in the west and the sea route of Frilanda Province went around to the back of Beger Province, directly captured the main city and made the city of Puais suffer from the enemy, and completely cut off the city of Puais from the main city. connect.

Because the plan was too huge, he finally gave up the plateau trail in Bourson province, and just left a new army outside the city of Puyes. This army will be led by Chester's close confidant - Gerry himself He took the lead, and he himself led a team that his subordinates were already familiar with, and quietly left Begel Province.

In the dimly lit room, heavy dust floated in the air, flying up and down in the boundary between light and shadow, and the strong smell of medicine couldn't cover up the rotten smell.

The attendant carefully carried the tray into the door, and behind him were two attendants who each took some items. The attendant had just put down the tray when he heard a muffled and impolite voice on the bed asking, "What day is it today? "

The attendant was taken aback, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "My lord, today is April [-]th."

"Oh—" the voice died down, and after a while, he asked again with a trill: "So, what year is it, what year is it?"

The attendant was surprised again, wondering if the adult on the bed was really old enough to even remember the date wrongly. At this time last year, he was clearly planning everything for himself, but he didn't dare to neglect, and still replied tremblingly: " My lord, this year is the 99th year of the new calendar."

"Oh, oh—it's been 99 years in the new calendar," the old man said with some confusion and more melancholy, "How does time go by so fast? In a blink of an eye, I have spent more than ten years in the north." New Years—you know, I'm a total Southerner—"

The attendant saw that he was rarely interested in talking with him, so he couldn't help but relax a little, talked to him, and asked tentatively: "My lord, are you from the south? You have been away from home for a long time."

With his help, the old man sat up on the soft pillow, his focus had already begun to lose focus, and the attendant was carefully feeding him medicine while talking to him.

"Southern? Well, indeed, I was born in the distinguished family of Jichenoin, a famous city on the southern border of Leman and Flanders. At that time, there were more than a dozen brothers and sisters in the family, and everyone was friendly to each other. However, as I got older, When I grew up, I gradually alienated them. After I entered the seminary, I lost contact with them even more. I don’t know if they are still there. I remember that in the south, when I was young, swimming was a strong point. Since Stepped into the realm of theology, cough, cough," he covered his mouth and nose with his hand, coughed, and the liquid medicine made from the powdered medicine overflowed, and another attendant hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe it for him Clean, give him a light pat on the back, it took a while for the old man to calm down.

"It's really old," the old man pushed away the remaining half bowl of potion, "I don't drink it, I can't wait for that day, what kind of ambition, ambition, all go to hell! When people are old, they are urged to go , It’s not that people are rushing the time to leave. I don’t care how he plays in the future. I don’t care at all. I just stay on this bed and wait quietly for death to take me away. Maybe I can meet Benny Your Majesty—Hey, this bastard who always steals my things! I will make him look good in the future!"

The attendant didn't dare to answer any more, hurriedly tidied up the room and retreated, leaving only the old man lying down again, feeling drowsy after drinking the medicine.

"Hey, I'm Chester, but, but I've always been the biggest threat to others..."

As he said this, he was completely overwhelmed by sleepiness.

The bright sunshine in the countryside makes people feel warm, and the plants are all green, which makes people feel full of energy and refreshed.

However, Sandra is more and more worried about her current life.

It is true that Belan did not treat him too badly. At that time, Belan made a hasty decision, but he still had some money, so the two of them were not worried about the issue of livelihood for the time being. Sandra was not worried about that, but that he gradually Pregnant belly—he has been pregnant for more than five months. Although he is thin, and he wears the large robe he deliberately asked Belan to buy, and he has a bad appetite and some malnutrition recently, but, he I can feel my stomach growing slowly.

"Oops, it's definitely not a good thing for Bellan to see him, he will become even more hysterical, although I promised him that he would never walk around—because I am not familiar with the roads around here, but he knows , but it will be even crazier, and maybe it will fight me desperately."

Sandra was thinking silently in her heart, stroking her slightly protruding belly with thin sweat on her hands, and hadn't come up with a perfect excuse for Belan to send him back to the main city. These days, they lived In the temporarily rented house in the countryside, he didn't dare to leave any marks, because he was afraid that apart from the chasing Caelius and the terrifying executioner, Wood Monterey, he didn't dare to gamble again, because He was no longer alone, and he had a child he had to protect.

Beran would occasionally take him to the town, sometimes to use his beautiful and bright singing voice to earn some money in hotels, restaurants or country theaters to support expenses, and sometimes to hear news, Beran is also a smart man , He needs to use the rumors to judge whether his current situation is good or bad, and whether it is safe enough.

"Mr. Belan Medel, I remember that you used to be a person who used to do whatever it takes to pursue a high quality of life." Sandra watched Belan's "singing" with cold eyes for a few days, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you talk to me? Go back to Devan Katrin Palace, I feel guilty for him, so I will never treat you badly."

Bellan snorted coldly, "I can't believe what His Majesty said anymore, ha, especially since you are his lover, Archbishop Demond, you fell asleep today and made a little joke, right?"

Sandra stopped talking and sighed lowly, "Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Medel."

Bellan lowered his head, clenched his hands tightly, his nails were about to pierce the skin, and he didn't know who he was angry with.

Sandra originally thought that after Bellan couldn't sustain the life of the two, the worst would be to separate from her, that is, to stop caring about her own life. He was distracted, forgot what he was thinking about, and spent a lot of time to observe whether the surrounding environment had changed.

For example, what kind of impatient and frightening characters did Bellan's natural voice attract?

It was a not-so-clear weather. In the morning, the sun was clearly erupting with gradually hot rays. In the afternoon, the clouds in the sky slowly gathered, covering the face of the sun, and there was a bright edge around the edge of the clouds. , It really attracts people's attention, it is really beautiful and dazzling.

Beran finally decided to leave, but he still wanted to take Sandra with him. He once mentioned that he wanted to go back to Monta Province. Sandra didn't object, but suddenly thought that Tanglas was there, maybe When they got there, the quarrel between the two could be eliminated. At this time, Sandra was helping Beran who was packing up and saluting. While paying attention to the child in her belly, she didn't notice any movement outside.

Beran was packing some trivial things when he suddenly heard some messy noises outside, which seemed very abnormal. He thought about it, but he was worried, so he walked to the window, pushed it away, and waited until he saw the scene outside the yard clearly. He had to scream, but he covered it in time, but the instant pale look on his face still attracted Sandra's attention.

"What's the matter?" He looked up puzzled and asked.

Bellan stared wide-eyed in horror, shook his head, not daring to say a word.
