Since being thrown into jail yesterday, Leonard has completely given up hope of escape. If there is anything he can't do now, it is his fiancee, Louise.
One count of trying to rob someone is enough to make her fall into the abyss, especially in today's delicate situation, she will be punished and will be more serious.
I wanted to lend a helping hand, but Leonard is now insecure. If there is anything else he can do, it is that he can't bite the tongue in Turin's affairs. At the very least, he can let Louise out of the enemy. Suspected treason.
Of course, Leonard knew that hope was extremely slim.
Da da da……
The sound of footsteps came from a long distance, interrupting Leonard's contemplation. Soon, an unexpected visitor appeared in the small cell. The head of the man was dressed in a suit full of killing spirit. Military Marshal of the Empire.
"Marshal Edmond, I didn't expect to be the first one to come, it would be you."
"The Marshal wants to make a deal with you." Edmond did not say nonsense, directly explaining his intention.
"What deal?"
"Tell everything you know, and then cooperate with the military to uproot the Turin kingdom deeply in the empire's intelligence network."
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
Edmund glared at each other, then patted his palms, and soon the two guards appeared in front of Leonard with Louise in a coma.
Seeing his fiancee in this situation, Leonard was not happy at all. On the contrary, his breath became confused, showing how angry he was.
"This is not what a military marshal should do."
"You may have some misunderstandings about this marshal. As long as it can achieve the purpose, I don't mind using any means." Edmond's tone was cold, his kindness would only be left to the people of the empire, not the Turin kingdom. The previous proposal, Marshal counted to ten. If you can't, I'm satisfied. I don't mind torture this Miss Louise in front of you. "
One, two ...
Edmond counted every number as if he was hitting Leonard's heart with a mallet.
Ten seconds passed in a blink of an eye. This time, without waiting for Edmund's order, the guards quickly moved the torture and tied Louise up. Some even tried to print it on Louise with a red hot iron. Face.
The red soldering iron continued to emit hot steam, and Louise in the coma seemed to feel the heat it emitted, and the body shivered unconsciously.
Seeing that the iron was getting closer to Louise's pretty face, Leonard couldn't bear it anymore.
"You won, Edmond, let them stop."
Edmond nodded, and the guards suspended the movements in their hands, but they did not take all the torture tools. It was once seen that if Leonard's performance could not satisfy them, the interrupted torture would continue. get on.
"Since it's a deal, I want to know what I can get."
"Alive, she, and you." Edmond offered his price without any hesitation: "As long as you are obedient, this marshal will guarantee your safety in the name of the military."
"It's an attractive price." Leonard smiled bitterly, but that's what he really said.
Leonard had originally thought that the deal would only keep his fiancee at best.
After all, once he speaks, the identity of the Turin Kingdom can no longer be hidden. From the current situation, Leonard does not think that the military will show mercy to a purely noble Turin nobleman, so this is an unexpected joy. Already.
Leonard would not doubt the other's promise. After all, Edmundken's personal presence in this small cell had already shown his sincerity, and the marshal of the imperial empire promised, but it was very convincing.
A few hours later, Edmond left the military prison in secret, as if he never appeared.
That night, a fire broke out in the military prison. When the flames were extinguished, the fire had almost destroyed the entire prison, and countless prisoners were buried in the flames. In the final list of deaths, the names of Wals and Louise were listed.
At the same time, several consortiums of academy alliances left from the imperial capital and rushed to all parts of the empire.
...
The City of Radiance has resisted the offensive of the Kingdom of Turin for a week. This can be said to be the longest-lasting battle after the latter's invasion, and from the current situation, this battle will continue.
A week-long high-intensity combat command put Luke's whole person in a state of extreme tension, and there was a danger of breaking at any time.
Luke had a bandage on his left hand. Three days ago, a falling arrow almost killed him. Fortunately, Luke was pushed by the guard next to him, and then he recovered his life.
After the injury, the guards wanted Luke to continue to heal, but Luke was unmoved and insisted on staying on the city wall. It was also because of this move that he greatly inspired the morale of the soldiers and was able to do it again and again. The retreat came from the offensive of the Kingdom of Turin.
"General, it's time to change medicine."
Luke nodded, then stretched out his arm.
In fact, in his status, after the injury, he could have been better treated, such as a healing potion.
But Luke rejected the goodwill of the medical soldiers ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and gave the healing potion to other soldiers with more injuries.
Perhaps from the point of view of some people, Luke's actions are suspected of being a show, but his actions have made him a lot of soldiers' gratitude.
If we say that the soldier's previous awe of Luke was only because of his identity, but now Luke's performance over the past few days has given him great prestige.
After changing the gauze, Luke moved his arm. Although it was still very painful, but at least, he could feel it, and his injury was slowly improving.
"I'm okay. Riding the enemy has not attacked, hurry to take care of other wounded soldiers."
Seeing the medical officer leading away, Luke's eyes fell on the gauze on his arm, and his brows frowned slightly.
After a few days of fighting, the consumption of materials has reached an extremely alarming level. Perhaps in a few days, the gauze in the warehouse will be consumed.
Although the city's owner, Edric, was already thinking of a solution, but no news came back, and he didn't know what the situation was. If he failed, it would be even more difficult for the soldiers to get treatment.
"An enemy attack, an enemy attack!" The soldiers on the lookout suddenly issued a warning.
Turin's re-attack made Luke temporarily forget about the troubles about the shortage of materials and turned into the battle that was about to erupt.
