Civilization Guardian Front

The left and right sides are lined with bookshelves, the French windows and curtains on the inside are closed, and there is a large sand table round table in the middle.

It seems that this is the war room of the Earl's Mansion.

Standing in front of the sand table, the earl's daughter, with long light brown hair tied into a ponytail, picked up a gray wooden sculpture that symbolized the city and placed it on the upper right side of the line marking the river.

"The location of Oludana City is a little lower."

The red-haired girl next to Solterina stretched out her hand to make adjustments.

knock knock!

"Miss Solterina, Her Majesty Medina, the guests have arrived."

The butler tapped on the door panel and reminded.

The two girls in the room turned their heads.

"Chios."

Medina spoke first:

"You brought a lot of people, and even the chief knight is here, what happened?"

"No, please don't worry." Chios shook his head.

"Your Excellency Alice is just acting with me because she is not on duty today. As the archbishop's right-hand man, she has the same interests as you. I don't think it is necessary to send her away. As for the others who came with me, it is my war group, they can be trusted."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

A group of people entered the hall, and the housekeeper who was left alone gently closed the door.

The sound of the pointed shoes pacing quickly faded away.

"Before entering the main topic, I would like to talk about the future development of the war group. I need to ask Miss Soltilina for help."

Hearing this, Soltilina put away her smile, and nodded to Chios with a serious face.

"Please say."

Seeing her being so serious, Chios raised his hand and made a virtual press like a band conductor, signaling the other party to relax.

Then he opened his mouth and said:

"Actually, what I want to say is not a big deal. I just hope that when you return to the territory, you can take the six members of my team with you to the eastern border."

""Hey hey! ? ""

It wasn't Soltilina who was most surprised, but the members behind Chios.

"Why did you suddenly say you were going to the East?"

"Would it be dangerous to stay in the center, teacher?"

"Did you do something to the Archbishop, Mr. Chios..."

"Wait a minute!" Merida found the most unreasonable message in Chios' words.

"You said six people..."

The girls who had ignored this before were stunned when they heard this.

That's right.

Where and why you are going is not the most important thing at all...

The key is the number of people.

Just now, Chios did say "six members".

It was certainly not a slip of the tongue.

It is impossible for Chios, who speaks rigorously and has almost no flaws, to make such a mistake.

So, meaning...

"Won't Mr. Chios and Miss Sharon come with us?"

After a few seconds of silence, Yuuki finally mentioned the possibility that her companions were reluctant to bring up.

"Yes." Chios replied in the affirmative.

"We'll split up next."

"why?"

Lyfa couldn't help rushing to Chios, grabbing his lapel.

"Mr. Chios, is there something we are doing wrong, or is there something that makes you dissatisfied?"

Before Chios could answer, her right wrist was first protruded from the side without any warning, and her right wrist was pressed down with a palm that seemed to be slow but fast.

That was Sharon's hand.

"you!"

Lyfa tried to break free, but found that her right hand could not move at all.

That is no longer a situation that can be described firmly.

The nerves and muscles from the shoulder down seemed to be paralyzed, and they were rigid and maintained their movements at the last moment, and they no longer obeyed.

But she didn't feel any pain at all.

what is this...

Show off?

Do you want to use this way to let me understand how powerless I am?

Looking at Sharon who had a gentle face and tried to play nice, Lifa was furious.

"It's you, isn't it? What did you tell Mr. Chios to keep you alone..."

"Please don't get excited, Miss Lyfa."

Sharon let out a low sigh.

So small that only you can hear it.

She really doesn't mean anything...

"Let Master Chios finish the sentence, can you?"

"Student Lyfa, calm down, Sister Sharon is not a woman who would show her possessiveness so clearly, don't forget that she is an assassin, and the winner will be decided once she makes a move."

It was rare that Ryan, who was not a spectator, spoke out to persuade.

Although her words inexplicably make people feel that there is another deep meaning.

On the opposite side of the sand table, Soltilina and Medina looked at each other with some embarrassment.

To be involved in such a deadly emotional entanglement was beyond their expectation...

As outsiders, they couldn't even say a word at the moment.

The scene fell into an eerie silence.

At this time...

"Can I go on?"

Leaning sideways on the edge of the table, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, the young man who was so bored that he began to look at his fingernails made a faint sound.

How come you are the calmest in the end...

The two noble girls were stunned.

Of course they don't understand.

One of Chios' favorite scenes is the war between women.

As long as he is not the one who burns himself and no one is killed in the end, he is [-]% happy to see the fire intensify.

If it weren't for Lyfa's mood gradually easing, he wouldn't take the initiative to break the deadlock.

"The political situation in the Theocracy is becoming increasingly tense. About [-]% of the nobles in the territory have expressed their views one after another, standing on the side of supporting the Archbishop or opposing His Majesty. I believe that this choice, either voluntarily or out of helplessness, will soon be removed from the The upper level affects ordinary people, especially the volunteers who are armed personnel..."

Noticing the gloomy look on Medina's face when talking about "helpless", Chios quickly passed the introduction.

"Staying in the political vortex of the central capital will not do any good to you who are only initially able to protect yourself at this stage."

The words paused for a while.

Chios clenched his fists hard, as if he wanted to grab something and not let it dissipate. After a long time, he continued in a firm and uncompromising tone:

"Maybe in the eyes of those in power, you are just worthless cannon fodder. To me, it is different. I will never allow you to be sacrificed like pawns because of other people's ambitions or love for power. Lose."

"Mr. Chios..."

"teacher..."

"Yeah, sorry, I just thought..."

Unsurprisingly, the girls were completely overwhelmed by the words.

Even Medina, Soltilina, and Alice couldn't help casting different glances.

Ah...

Speaking well is more important than anything else.

As long as it's made as if they were the starting point, women will willingly swallow whatever their real intentions are sugar-coated.On the contrary, even if the intention is good, if the starting point is not to focus on them, but to use "rational" arguments to persuade, then for women, no matter how good the medicine is, it will be bitter.

In addition to avoiding the political risk of being forced to join the war, there are two more important reasons for letting the members of the warband go to the eastern border:

First, to prevent people from the noble alliance or the archbishop's faction from being short-sighted and thinking of threatening themselves by taking hostages.

Although Kioski is 99% sure that Archbishop Guinilla is closer to his approach, and tends to gain others' followers by virtue of charisma, superb speech skills, emotional appeal and exchange of benefits, rather than through brutality, It is easy to cause resentment and threaten endless troubles, but there is no way to guarantee that everyone under the archbishop has such wisdom.

Not to mention the aristocratic alliance, it is impossible for the faction to come to the point where it can stand against the king of a country today. There are not many ruthless figures in the faction who say the motto "the one who makes big things doesn't care about small things" and so on.

As for the second reason, it was purely that Chios felt that the progress of this group of "prepared cadres" was not fast enough.

The Celine Mine is located in the middle of the two major factions of the Theocracy, and the main threat it poses will be settled by the army of the Archbishop or the Duke of Oludana. Moreover, on the plains away from the mountains and natural dangers, the kobolds are not well-armed and capable at all. Tactical and strategic human opponents cannot bring too much tension.

If you go to the border, the situation is different...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"The nobles who have not yet joined the faction and remain neutral are mostly concentrated in the eastern part of the Theocracy, which is related to their geographical location. The Lansas River formed by the melting snow of the snow-capped mountains south of the Misty Forest serves as a natural barrier, and the Eastern Earl The territory of the Eastern Territory is separated from the forces of the Archbishop and the Duke of Taft. Because the river is wide and the water is deep, there is no dry or icy period, and it is not easy to build bridges. Up to now, the main way to enter and leave the Eastern Territory is still relying on boats. Large-scale troops cross the river The cost is high, and the time it takes to mobilize ships in advance will also make military operations lose surprise, so for the two factions, it is not a strategic location that must be won in the short term."

"Looking at the territory of the Theocracy, I think there is only one place where you can avoid the influence of political factors, concentrate on self-improvement, and become a volunteer soldier who is capable of acting independently at an early date. The military pressure on the border will force people to grow and become stronger , In this regard, His Royal Highness Medina and Miss Soltilina, who are similar in age to you but have the strength of senior knights, are the best examples."

As Chios said, he turned his head and looked across the sand table.

The eyes of the group members also fell on the two nobles.

After all, they are the best among noble peers, and the two who suddenly turned from spectators to the focus of attention did not panic.

"In terms of strength, Chios, you and Sharon are much stronger than us, not to mention there is Her Excellency Alice here, isn't it a bit wicked to use us as an example?"

Solterina smiled wryly.

"What's surprising..." Medina, who crossed her arms on her chest, took the words:

"Isn't he always like this, taking pleasure in seeing others embarrassing?"

"Exactly."

"Well, that's right."

Following Alice's second voice, several girls present who had a deep understanding of Chios' bad taste nodded one after another.

"Hey, I'm clearly praising the two of you sincerely, how could it be misinterpreted as having ulterior motives..."

Seeing that the situation was not good for him, Chios spoke in time, and quickly brought the topic back to business:

"The Earl of Torbana has been on the front line against the beast tide in the misty forest since ancient times, and the volunteer soldiers will never lack challenges there, so I would like to ask Miss Soltilina to bring them along on the return trip, no need Special care, as long as they are allowed to go to the Eastern Territory and contribute to the frontline war, what do you think?"

"sure."

Solterina readily agreed.

Bringing a few more people back to the territory is a piece of cake for her. Even if she put aside the consideration of Jiaoqios, she has no reason to refuse as the heir of the border earl just because the volunteers are willing to go to the eastern border to resist the beast horde. .
