[Angie] Double Wings

Chapter 039 Light and Shadow in the Flames of War

◇

First stop the war with strong force, and then persuade them to surrender with a gentle gesture... Before this, they have succeeded four times.If this model is followed, the result that Jules wants can indeed be achieved, 'surrender without fighting'.

Jules' speech has a very high appeal, and it can awaken the trust of the people of the Six Rainbow Stars in Her Majesty... No matter what they are wearing now is the uniform of the White Wing Legion or the uniform of the Self-Defense Force.The message he conveyed was very simple, that is, please both parties put aside their disputes, and leave all the problems on this planet to Her Majesty's Patron Saint and the royal dispatched army to deal with, even if Omelia asked the Holy Land to recognize her name , you can sit down and talk...

They can only sit down and talk.

Jules does not accept the political forces brought up by war. The political forces that rely on war to gain power are undoubtedly extremely dirty and brutal... The victory wine they drink is brewed with the blood of the people.

But the stalemate confrontation by the river bank made him very anxious.

When the Self-Defense Forces retreated completely, another nine hours later, in the conical carriage that served as a temporary military tent, Jules finally received a report.

"... More than 600 soldiers surrendered?" Not all of them... Jules raised his eyebrows sensitively, "How many people in the enemy headquarters have not surrendered?"

"The enemy general ordered these soldiers to throw down their weapons and come forward with a white flag to ask for surrender..."

Elliott's old habit was repeated.Jules sighed, "I mean, how many people on the enemy side 'did not' surrender?"

"However, the enemy refuses to talk..."

"Eliot..."

Donald, who had been holding back his laughter, interjected, "About three hundred or so."

"Three hundred..." Kravis murmured once again, lost in thought.

"It's hard to imagine that the enemy would make such a stupid decision." Jules couldn't help but look at Clewis.He seemed to have some unspoken thoughts in his heart... Jules stared at his lover, expecting him to say something specifically.

"...tell me, Jules. What can 300 people do?"

"Too many... what aspects?"

"I don't know... well, maybe, many people died."

Donald, who was sitting by the side, smiled, "No matter how brave you are, the lethality of 300 people is limited after all..."

"...No!" Jules stood up suddenly, grabbed the strategic map in Elliott's hand, and pressed it on the desk between them, his eyes were sharp, "Is it true..."

Clavis also got up silently, and at the height of Jules, he moved his gaze to the map. The embankment where the [-] people of the White Wing Legion were besieged... was marked as a light blue river next to it.

"...What's the point of doing this to such an extent?"

Jules didn't have time to ignore his sighs, and acted without delay, "Eliott, lead the Pelican troops, act now. No matter what kind of action is taken, it doesn't matter even if it is driving or kidnapping. All the 300-odd soldiers should be taken away from the embankment immediately...Listen clearly, it is 'immediately' to drive away! Go!"

Elliott, who always answered questions that were not asked, executed orders very quickly. He turned around and rushed out of the carriage, galloping like a galloping horse on the grassland where Wang Li's dispatched troops camped, calling his subordinates' names in a very loud voice. Loud.

"The other troops are also preparing immediately." Jules, who was always a bit apprehensive, but after starting to act, was quite decisive and quick, stood at the door of the carriage and gave an order, "Immediately evacuate the residents on the south bank downstream, all the steel wing troops are mobilized, and the earth barrier Sandbags and sandbags must be prepared, and the rescue of the wounded must also start. Ask the Self-Defense Forces to find some people who are familiar with the local terrain, and bring the old man who is the local guide to see me."

Although Jules was tense, the orders he gave were still orderly, clear and orderly, and his eyes were still bright, but his tight lips seemed a little pale.

In any case, Jules only hopes that the civil war on this planet will not continue. Even if Jules is asked to stand up and take responsibility for the meteorite rain that hit the six rainbow stars caused by the interstellar storm, he has no second words Easy to say.He is willing to do anything, but people just don't appreciate it, one more day of civil war, one more day of casualties, and now there are still people who do such sinister things...

Others couldn't see his mental load, so how could Cleves not see it?

Cleves blankly explained to Donald who was sitting silently by the side, "He deduced that the enemy was planning to break the embankment."

"Yes."

Not paying attention to Donald's look of being too calm, Cleves only noticed that Jules, who was standing at the door of the carriage and giving orders to his subordinates, covered his mouth and coughed lightly.Subconsciously, he lifted the porcelain pot containing hot tea to fill Jules' cup, stood up and moved a little, but still sat back down.

"Lord Jules," Donald got up from his seat, stretched out his hand for Clewies, and passed Jules' cup, "You just said a little too much, please drink some tea to moisten your throat. "

Jules took it with his left hand sideways, and replied casually, "Thank you."

Donald smiled, glanced at his outstretched left hand, nodded, and sat back down.

After Jules got into the light car that came to pick him up and left the carriage, the whole convoy finally started to move forward slowly.The regular low noise gradually became faster, and Donald looked into Clavis' eyes, and asked him in a low voice with a knowing smile, "Master Clavis, you gave the violin to Lord Jules. Bar?"

◇

Clewis was still a little absent-minded, and asked back in a trance, "What did you say?"

"When the war between the two sides just broke out, you took the risk to go to the natal mansion of the wife of Deputy Speaker Ellen... If I remember correctly, Mr. Clavis, you really wanted to get the famous piano in the legend. And the adventurous one... when I sent you off the trail of stars, you did carry that violin on your back."

"Well..." Clewis asked casually, "Yes, I took that violin away. What do you think happened to that violin?"

Donald narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I remember I asked you during the trip, with your honorable status, why do you need to take the risk to go to a place where you are exposed to danger? Lord Clavis, you said at that time that it was for you Speaking of very important people..."

Speaking of Jules?

Klevis finally came back to his senses, and asked again in astonishment, "What's wrong with that piano? What's wrong?"

Donald leaned forward and approached Clavis, "If I'm not mistaken, you gave the legendary violin to Lord Jules, and kept it a secret, right?"

The fast-moving conical car was still bumpy, and the cabin was always filled with mechanical noises. Clavis fell silent, looking at Donald's face silently, without speaking.

Kravis didn't say a word, didn't make the slightest movement, didn't even show any expression on his face, just looked at Donald.If you say 'looking at Donald', it doesn't seem to matter. Clewis was originally talking to Donald, and his eyes were originally looking at him.

But there is indeed a difference.

The air in the carriage seemed to condense into a solid, embedded Donald in it, expanding further, squeezing his body from every angle.

He tried to laugh, but couldn't.

The darkness of the entire universe was almost hidden in Kravis' eyes, and it was so silent that even the air in the carriage had an incomparable weight.

Why should I be alone with this mysterious patron saint of darkness?If someone else was present, perhaps... no, no one could save him from this heavy pressure.run away?But Donald couldn't go anywhere under Clavis' gaze, not even his lungs were able to expand properly.

He even felt like he was going to suffocate...

He wanted to apologize and beg for mercy, but he couldn't open his mouth.When tears were about to roll down Donald's cheeks, Clewis snorted and looked away, and for a moment Donald felt that he had been pardoned for a capital crime, and almost wanted to cheer loudly.

He finally believed that the statement that the killer of the White Wing Legion's plot to assassinate the Patron Saint of Darkness was cried by him was definitely not a rumor.

"I……"

"what do you wish to ask?"

"Ah... Ke, Master Clavis... I'm not... I, I didn't..."

"I don't like this kind of malicious inquiry."

After Clevers finished speaking, he got up and left the car without looking at him again.

The elders who are familiar with the local hydrology assisted Jules in selecting a nearby large lake for dredging. Two hours after Jules dispatched the pelican troops, the thrush troops who evacuated the people, dredged the torrent, and the swan goose troops who repaired the broken embankment all After taking the order to set off, Jules ordered his slow-moving command headquarters to rush to the river bank.

Klevis, who had been angry alone for a while, was feeling depressed, suddenly recalling the answer just now, and couldn't help becoming suspicious.Pick up the communicator and ask someone to prepare the car.Even if the speed is reduced, the speed of the convoy is still galloping.Clavis opened the car door, stepped on the pedal of the conical car, and got into the convertible light car that came to pick him up. "Jules is in the command car at the front of the team, and he took me there."

"Yes, Lord Clavis, please be careful with your robes."

This is not the tone of the Holy Land.

It was only then that Cleves noticed that the officer who came to pick him up in an open light car was certainly a familiar face of the Sun Shadow Legion, who belonged to the Griffin Unit; He was wearing the uniform of the Supreme Council Self-Defense Force.

"……Who are you?"

"The fourth unit of the garrison under the Supreme Council's Self-Defense Forces, Sergeant Quintust Nessia, is following the special advisor of the Supreme Council's military group, Mr. Donald Litton, and Mr. Jules and your convoy."

Cleves let out a sneer that didn't quite look like a laugh, "The job is to help me into the car?"

"No, that's not what it means," Quintaste was a little embarrassed, "just to see if there is anything that needs help."

"...I don't need anyone to help me, stay away from me." The tall and long-legged Clavis stepped onto the buggy with a light step, without even looking at him... until the buggy drove to Zhu Lie Quintaster hesitated again and again, but still did not dare to reach out to Klevis, so he turned his head away in embarrassment and looked away.

"Jules?" The owner of the name stood alone in front of the large conical vehicle he used as a command vehicle, and Clavis closed the door of the vehicle and moved towards the front of the vehicle.

Jules didn't look back, "It's very close to the river bank..."

Clavis ignored his nagging, "Why are there members of the Self-Defense Forces on the buggy that came to pick me up?"

"The duty of protecting the patron saint has always been the responsibility of the Glory Guard of the Sun Shadow Legion's Griffon Troop," Jules turned his head and raised his eyebrows. "The Glory Guard is those 60 people. You should be familiar with their faces."

"The driver of the buggy was indeed an officer of the Honor Guard, but there was a sergeant from the Guard of the Self-Defense Forces in the car."

"I don't know about that. Donald only told me...he hopes to help as much as possible." Jules was a little unhappy, "didn't he say something rude to you? If you don't want to see those strangers, I'll tell them to stay away from you."

"Speaking of Donald Lytton, I was just about to tell you about it," Kravis warned in a low voice. "Be careful with that guy."

"what happened?"

"A weird question was raised, aimed at you..." Klevis pulled the armrest with his backhand, and corrected his words, "Aimed at me and you, the tone is very sinister."

Jules frowned, "Can't you be more specific? What's the problem?"

At this moment, the crisp bell of the noon time came from a wall clock on the wall.
