[Angie] Double Wings

Chapter 040 The Explosion of the River Bank Embankment

◇

In the fast-moving cone-shaped car, the crisp bell of the noon time echoed.

"Huh?" Jules leaned over to look at Clevis, waiting for his further explanation, "Be more specific."

Clewis answered irrelevantly, "By the way," the details that he didn't pay attention to at the time came back to his mind at the moment, "Donald seems to have guessed that the enemy would break the embankment one step earlier than you. You and I guessed it pretty much the same time." Shocked, but he was very calm, that reaction was not normal."

Jules shook his head, let go of the armrest and turned around, looking at Kravis, "Donald learned with us..."

Before he finished speaking, the carriage of the cone-shaped car suddenly rose into the air and was thrown upwards.Instead, Kravis felt himself jumping towards the carpeted floor of the carriage inexplicably, clutching the armrest reflexively, unable to understand what happened for a while, and the deafening loud sound reached his ears only then.

The vehicle obviously continued to move crookedly, and a lot of dust was raised in the gaps between the compartment walls, window frames, carpets, and even the seat cushions that looked very clean.In the smoke and dust, Clewis barely held back his cough. Jules squinted his eyes, kept his balance on the floor with one hand, and moved his lips. It looked like he was calling his name, but he couldn't do anything. can not hear.

Clevers grabbed the armrest to stabilize his body, and raised his voice as much as possible, "Are you okay?" But the sudden explosion drowned out everything, and even he couldn't hear his shout.

"... the embankment on the shore." In the gap between the explosions, Clewis could barely hear Jules' voice.Are you still concerned about the blown embankment at this time?Just now when he thought about it, he saw Jules's fuzzy face in the smoke and dust, written with concern for him, "Cravis, are you not injured? We have to..."

Jules wanted to say 'must', but he didn't know what, almost immediately, without any warning, the second violent vibration hit the conical car again.

This time the shock was much more violent, the carriage still rose up first, and then fell down, but they felt that they were being slapped down by a huge force in the carriage, and Clavis fell heavily on the carpet, For a moment, there are stars in my eyes.

After the sound of sharp metal rubbing, the vehicle tilted strangely.

The sound of explosions not far away covered up Cleves' warning, "Hurry up! Quick!" But the warning seemed so weak amidst the loud bang.There was a long and extremely piercing 'chirp' sound suddenly from the carriage, and the entire carriage rolled to the left. "Julies!" He was lying on the ground and before he could get up, he stretched his arms anxiously, trying to grab Jules.

In that second that was too hasty to do anything, Cleves saw Jules wrinkling his golden brows, talking to him, and looking hard at Kravis stretched out his hand, and the fingertips of the two were less than an inch apart.

By an inch, he missed Jules.

Clavis watched Jules fly backwards with his whole body, and couldn't even scream for a moment.

The whole body of the car was turned ninety degrees, and the handrail Clewis was holding onto, which was originally nailed to the wall on the left side of the car, was now under his body.He instinctively protected his head, and felt that things, large and small, were constantly falling and hitting him, including the wall clock that just struck the time.

Clavis stood up with difficulty, "Julies?" The direction above his head was obstructed by a row of seats nailed to the wall on the right side. He couldn't stand up straight at all, but the ceiling in the carriage collapsed from the right side One piece, lying in front of him.

I don't know what hit my shoulder, and I can't make much effort with my left hand.Klevis hunched over, and managed to push aside the debris blocking the way.Inside the twisted and deformed car body was a mess, with indescribable debris, wreckage, and disassembled parts everywhere, and it was impossible to identify them.He couldn't even be sure whether he was heading in the direction of the front of the car, and subconsciously moved forward with difficulty in the direction he believed.

"Julius?" Clavis heard his voice tremble, "Julius?"

Half of the crooked floor was pressed under the collapsed seat frame, and the original metal bracket was twisted into a strange shape, and one end was pierced into the fluffy seat cushion.

"Julius?"

Such a sharp thing must be able to easily penetrate a person's body, right?

There is a pile of strangely colored fabric folded together. The fabric is vaguely recognizable as the curtains hanging on the car windows, and it is covered with fine pieces of white porcelain.He didn't know what he broke, and he couldn't use his brain to think about it. He pushed aside the pile of things, and the fragments cut his fingers.

"Julies, answer me!" His voice was faintly crying, so hoarse that he couldn't even recognize himself.

A part of the car body is like a piece of crumpled paper, where many sharp corners have been folded out of the original plane.Another ball of dirty cloth looks like a carpet that was originally laid on the floor, and there is a big lump under the carpet. I don't know if there is something sharp hidden.

He didn't have the time to think, "Julies, I beg you..."

With his bloody fingers he pushed aside the lump of carpet, revealing a lock of curly hair that was covered in dust but still shone like pure gold under the cover of the dirty fabric.

"... Jules?" There will never be anyone in this universe who can have that kind of blond hair again. Clavis did not hesitate to confirm the existence of his lover, shaking his hands that were pierced by some fragments. The half of the carpet was pulled away, only to see Jules lying on his stomach motionless.

Clevers endured the smoke and dust that filled the car, and whispered Jules' name while rubbing his shoulders.The wet, warm touch made his hands tremble even more.Klevis gently turned Jules' body over. He was still breathing, but a half-inch wound was made on his white and smooth forehead, and the blood flowed out quickly and profusely.

"Master Jules! Lord Jules! Are you alright?" Someone outside shouted in a panic, "Master Clavis and Mr. Donald are not in the car behind..."

As if he had never heard of it, he carefully relied on the keen sense of touch with his fingertips, and gently stroked Jules' forehead.

"Master Jules..."

The skull doesn't seem to be damaged... Klevis hugged Jules' shoulders in his arms nervously, not knowing what to do for a moment. The warm blood of his lover dyed the white robe on his body into an ominous color, staining the white robe. Ruyu's cheek also confused him.

If it was Jules, he would be so nervous that he was at a loss, started talking nonsense like a cannonball, and started to give orders when he caught someone, and the orders he gave were all messy and illogical... But his orders looked like nothing afterward. Makes sense.

Realizing his powerlessness, Cleves suddenly sighed in a low voice, and his mind became clearer.There are too many members of the Glory Guard of the Griffon Army, and Kravis can't recognize the owner of the voice, and he is not in the mood to guess, "I am here, not missing. Jules is also there, but he is injured... you guys First find a way to get the car body open quickly, you can saw it open, pry it open... find the medical officer first."

Someone outside agreed loudly, followed by the sound of prying open the car body.

After his mood stabilized a bit, Clewis took out a large handkerchief of his own from his arms, folded it in half and pressed it on Jules' forehead to stop the bleeding, thinking of other problems before him, "The embankment should have been blown up. Yes. Jules has made arrangements before, right?"

"Yes, yes, the river has..."

"Just do what he told you..." He remembered that Jules had made many arrangements before the explosion, "Don't ask me."

◇

Someone came to ask Clewis what to do, but he always answered that he didn't know, and he did what Jules said before... Anyway, he is really not good at this kind of thing, and he won't know it until Jules wakes up. To deal with the war caused by this struggle for power.

They were taken into the compartment of another storage cone, and the Griffin officer found another battered sofa and brought in it for Jules to lie on.About half an hour later, Jules, who was in a coma, suddenly turned over and opened his mouth to spit on Clavis.Fearing that the wounded would be choked with vomit and accidentally suffocate, Klevis stretched out his fingers and opened Jules' mouth without thinking, but only felt the greasy gastric juice.

Kravis subconsciously avoided the ominous connections of bumping his head, coma, and vomiting, and persistently complained to Jules, "I didn't eat in the morning." Dare to take a step away from Jules, not even have the courage to change clothes first, hurriedly took off the outermost robe and rolled it up, endured the sour smell and dust in the carriage, and sat weakly beside Jules to work. wait.

The medical officer came to see it twice in a hurry, and when he entered the carriage for the third time, another sound of footsteps came in with the medical officer.

"Master Clavis..."

He didn't look up, "Do as Jules said before."

"Yes, but there is important information that needs to be requested immediately..."

"Ask Elliott."

"...Forgive me for being difficult to accept, Mr. Clavis."

Cleves raised his head and recognized that the person speaking to him was Canmore, the commander of the Griffin Troop in the Sun Shadow Legion, and an officer who had followed Jules for several years.

He stood upright in front of Clavis, his posture and appearance were still meticulous, but his eyes were a little red.

"what happened?"

"General Eliot died in the line of duty."

Cleves almost blurted out, 'Then go to Jules...', but luckily he shut his mouth tightly a second before he was about to make a mistake.

It turned out that I was so dependent on this person... Clewis subconsciously glanced at Jules who was still unconscious lying in front of him, and tightened his mouth, "Come with me... let's go outside , tell me in detail what needs to be decided immediately."

"Please wait a moment." Medical Officer Higglas frowned, "Master Clavis, we need to find a place for Lord Jules to recuperate... At least it must be ventilated, bright, and can The place where he lay flat. This storage truck... As you can see, the air is not ventilated, and it is too dark. It is impossible to check Lord Jules here. Besides, this sofa is too important for him. It's too short."

"...no usable cars in the fleet?" Kravis cast his gaze to Canmore. "Even if only temporarily?"

"Forgive me, Master Jules is in a coma and Lord Elliot is dead. I still need a little time to take over the current situation, but the damage to the convoy is serious, that's for sure. We need to replenish the damaged vehicles for use."

"Will it be more difficult than rebuilding the fleet?" These vehicles were originally raised by Donald... Clavis thought for a moment, and ordered Canmore to sort out the vehicles that were damaged in the explosion and could not be repaired immediately by the Steel Wing Troops. "Just ask Donald for help."

Canmore looked embarrassed, "But at present we...have insufficient military expenditure." He lowered his voice further, "The military rations are only prepared for ten days, and we will run out of food soon."

"Julies knows about this, and he must have arrangements." Clavis interrupted Canmore, "It doesn't matter if the ration matter is postponed first, and the vehicle matter will be resolved first."

"Do you need to consult Mr. Donald? Mr. Clewis?"

"...No, please convey my request to him first." Klevis still didn't want to meet Donald, "The most important thing is to ask him for a bigger sleeper car. As for repairs and compensation... …You make the statistics first, then consult with him. If he demands immediate payment of the requisition, I will receive him.”

"Yes, I see."

An intuition came to Clavis' mind.

"Don't arrange people from the Self-Defense Forces in the sleeping car."
