Who told him to rush up there?.

Chapter 134 Suffering an Old Sin

The next morning, when Eleanor ran to the house early and knocked on the door, Eli, who had slept very little the night before, opened the door for her refreshed.

"Good morning, Eli."

The little kid greeted Eli with full energy, but his eyes passed him and looked behind him.

"Where are sister Jessica and sister Cecilia?"

Behind Eli, there was no sign of Jessica and Cecilia, who were following like little tails. Eleanor jumped over the threshold and came in, asking Eli at the same time.

"Morning, Sister Eleanor..."

But before Eli could answer, Cecilia, who looked tired, appeared with Jessica, who looked expressionless. Cecilia rubbed her face and greeted Eleanor.

Looking at Cecilia who was obviously in a bad mood, a big question mark seemed to appear in Eleanor's little head.

She was fine when we met yesterday, but how come after just one night, Sister Cecilia became so listless, as if she had been sucked dry?
"You secretly went out last night and fought the demons for three hundred rounds? Why do you look so bad?"

With Eleanor's height, she couldn't touch Cecilia's head, so even if she wanted to express her concern for her sister, she could only pat Cecilia's flat belly and asked in confusion and concern.

Hearing Eleanor's question, Cecilia turned her head and rolled her eyes at her master. It was all his fault. She should have punished him severely last night, so she and Jessica attacked him at the same time, trying to drain all of the master's excess energy.

But she never expected that the master was not only powerful, but also very strong. She and Jessica worked for half the night, not to mention draining the master. They didn't even have dinner, but they were full...

Although they had eaten the same thing before, they only tasted it briefly and stopped when the master gave them the answer. In fact, they spent more time on the master exploring their bodies.

If it weren't for Oliver's unusual reaction, they and their master himself would not have known that their master's answer sheet had special effects. It turned out that their rapid advancement was not only due to their outstanding talents and diligence in fighting?
But after last night's "punishment", they and their master also tested out the upper limit of the effectiveness of the answer sheet, that is, in a short period of time, only one answer sheet can assist in cultivation, no matter how much excess energy there is, it will only cause food accumulation and cannot be digested at all.

This is really hard for Cecilia. God knows how sore her cheeks are now. She was the one who exploited her master, but in the end she was the one who got hurt. The same thing happened to Jessica. She was slacking off the whole time in the second half. It was all up to her to output... No, was she the only one who absorbed the energy?

In short, Cecilia has suffered a lot, and even now, she is still tortured by the accumulated energy. If it weren't for the fact that time has passed and these energies that cannot be absorbed are slowly dissipating, she would be in even more pain now.

"I have a toothache. It's just that I didn't sleep well last night. It's okay, Sister Eleanor. I'll be fine after a while."

Cecilia rubbed her cheek aggrievedly and spoke vaguely.

Even with Eleanor's not very high IQ, she could tell that Cecilia was making an excuse, but since Cecilia's sister was unwilling to tell the truth, Eleanor, who was not very curious, did not ask any further questions.

"Then you should have a good rest on the way! By the way, Eli, are you waiting for anyone else? When are we leaving?"

Ignoring Cecilia's sister's condition, Eleanor turned around and began to focus on the next trip. At the same time, Evelyn suddenly appeared beside Eli like a ghost. Because of her family's instructions, she naturally had to follow Eli until dark.

"And Princess Lina, when she arrives, we will... Oh, and Lieutenant General Londo and his men, look, they are here..."

Eli tilted his head and smiled at Evelyn, then as he was speaking, he saw a small team rushing towards this side in the distance. A quick glance revealed that less than half of the guards who had accompanied him from the Duke's Palace, including Lieutenant General Rondo, had arrived.

After all these people arrived outside the door, after Lieutenant General Rondo's explanation, Eli learned that many people in their team chose to stay in the army and continue fighting. Although they were actually the private soldiers of the Duke's Mansion, they were still living people with their own thoughts.

Among his guards, there were already many veterans who had fought in the anti-demon battlefield, and those new recruits who set out at the beginning had already become iron-blooded soldiers after so many battles.

At this time, there were still two and a half years left before the imperial law required that male nobles fight on the front lines for at least three years, which was the Yikun year that Eli was familiar with.

When they set out from the Duke's Palace, these guards had already made preparations to fight for three years or never return. But now, because their leader was too outstanding, their expedition was interrupted prematurely.

After the previous six months of fighting, these guard members had long since merged with the other coalition soldiers. They were no longer private soldiers of the nobles, but warriors of hundreds of races who had won countless victories and were invincible.

Although everyone knew that their commander Eli accounted for at least 90% of the credit for these victories, today, as real soldiers, they found it difficult to accept the fate of leaving the battlefield and becoming private soldiers of the nobles again.

So when they heard that Captain Eli was about to return home and Lieutenant General Rondo asked them if they were willing to return with him, all the former members of the Duke's Palace Guard fell silent.

After a long silence, only a small number of people who had served the Duke's Palace for generations and whose parents and relatives still worked in the Duke's Palace expressed their willingness to return home. More people remained silent, but their decision was actually self-evident.

In the end, apart from the very few people who had died on the battlefield, only these few people were willing to follow Eli and leave.

Eli would naturally not blame those who did not come. Instead, he respected them even more. Compared with those who returned with him and continued to be private soldiers of the nobles who could guarantee their own personal safety, those who were still willing to stay on the battlefield where life and death were unpredictable were undoubtedly true warriors.

Of course, it doesn't mean that those who are willing to follow him are bad. They have all experienced the baptism of battlefield, their hands are stained with a lot of blood of demons, and they have survived countless bloody battles. Naturally, they are also true warriors.

It’s just that everyone has different aspirations. Some want to continue to achieve success, while others choose to stay with their family. There is no right or wrong.

"Everyone line up and be ready to go at any time!"

Looking at the guards outside the door who looked much better than before, Eli had no extra words. They were all qualified soldiers and he only needed to give them orders.

Just as the soldiers were ready to line up, a figure wearing a thick leather jacket came into the sight of Eli and others.
