Charles looked very different from last time.
No longer lighthearted, no longer warm and friendly.
His face, which originally had a formal smile, now looked heavy.
The look in his eyes told Claire and Faro that he came here because something serious was about to happen.
"The demons broke the truce agreement and attacked the imperial garrison's fortress just three days ago."
"Fortunately, the Gray Iron Regiment is secretly stationed there, so our front line has not been pushed back."
"But unfortunately, this is not just a simple test of harassment."
"It was a despicable, shameless, undeclared war."
"Lady Claire..."
"We are going to go to war with the demons once again."
Farlow's brain exploded.
He understands now.
What exactly did Xiuge mean by his destined death this time?
as predicted.
Adversity immediately appeared before his eyes.
The messenger Charles came here without stopping this time, definitely not just to inform them of the news.
Farrow understood the Empire's military regulations for warfare.
Each batch of soldiers coming down from the front line can get up to half a year of rest.
Because the empire is vast, has a large population, and is full of martial virtues, there is no need to worry about the quality of the soldiers. However, due to the long-term stage of war and friction, in order to ensure the quality of the troops and prevent veterans from suffering from PTSD in battle, they adopt a shift system.
That is, the previous wave of officers and soldiers retreat, and when the next war begins, the next wave will take over.
obviously.
Claire is currently on a long vacation.
The envoy came this time just to let her go to the front line to fight.
This is the Emperor's intention.
No one can disobey.
This means that the two can no longer stay together.
Xuger said that only when the two of them were together would their respective destinies be stable.
What this means is that if Claire and Faro separate.
Most likely you will suffer misfortune.
Do you want to go back with her?
However, my studies and career are at a critical stage, and more than 60% of the workers and equipment are on the ship heading to the Lumonlaka Islands.
If he followed Claire back, it would mean that he might face a lot of trouble from then on.
The money lost is secondary.
But if he lost Elliot's trust, all his investment would be wasted.
Let’s take a step back.
Even if Faro really goes back with Claire.
But the latter has to go to the battlefield.
Instead of sitting in the command room, just drinking tea and reading battle reports every day.
The Kawia Empire Daily also said last week that if the demons dared to invade again, the "Emperor's Blade" Princess Claire of the Night would lead the Wolf Riders to trample over the corpses of all the demon invaders.
Having said that, it was obvious that Claire was trying to intimidate the scoundrels.
in a sense.
Extraordinary people of Claire's level have been used by the country as weapons of large-scale destruction to some extent.
At that time, she would definitely carry out the most dangerous tasks.
The environment they are in must be the cruelest and worst.
In that kind of place, Faro would be even more unsafe.
There is a high possibility that he would be disabled by a magic cannon on the battlefield. If he was a little less lucky, he would die directly.
So, going back with her is not feasible, and I can't stay with her even if I go back.
Grass.
It's a dead end.
Claire noticed Faro's reaction.
His eyes seemed to be thinking about something and his expression looked very unhappy.
He slowly leaned back into his sofa, looking a little frightened.
Faro had told her about Shug, and she knew about Shug's prophecy.
"Faro..."
Claire, who usually handled everything calmly and with ease, couldn't help showing her sadness at this moment.
She reached out and wiped the sweat off Faro's forehead.
It's okay...
Don't worry.....
I will protect you.
Then she turned to the messenger.
"Was it a conscription order issued by His Majesty himself?"
"Do we have to go back?"
There was a hint of hope in his tone.
What he got was an extremely affirmative reply from the other party.
"That's right, Lady Claire."
Charles nodded respectfully to her.
"The Emperor has personally ordered that you regain full command of the Wolf Riders and that I rush to the Arcane Ring. Please go back and fight the demons at the front line."
Chapter 95: Grand Speaker
After Charles said these words, his meaning was very clear.
The supreme leader of the Kavia Empire, the Emperor Elkuro, personally issued an order to let Claire go back.
His Majesty the Emperor is one of the few people in the world who can control Claire.
His iron fist is well known to everyone, and no one in Kavia dares to defy his will.
Not to mention that Claire was originally an imperial executive and the commander-in-chief of the chapter.
Now it is only natural to go back and defend our country.
There is no excuse in every aspect.
Claire clenched her fists silently.
On one side is her lover, and on the other side are her responsibilities and country. She is caught in the middle and is in a dilemma.
"I see......"
After a long while, Claire uttered a word unwillingly.
The messenger nodded and bowed tactfully.
"I understand your feelings. His Majesty the Emperor apologizes again."
"You have been wronged for so long, and now you are suddenly asked to go to the front. Your Majesty knows that this decision is unpleasant, but I hope you will put the greater good first."
The words that His Majesty the Emperor brought through the envoy cannot be said to be a gift of face, but can only be said to be a very respectful attitude.
"After the war, His Majesty promised to personally bless you and Lord Farrow."
The emperor knows.
Money and other things are of no practical use to them now.
It would be better to personally acknowledge their legitimacy and shut up those gossiping nobles below, so that they can be somewhat grateful.
The emperor was already very embarrassed.
Claire shouldn't be too willful.
"You can have two more days to prepare. Kavia's envoy ship is docked at the port."
After Charles finished speaking, he left.
After sending the messenger away, Claire felt unusually bewildered.
She didn't want to be separated from Farrow, but she couldn't take him to the battlefield.
At this time, Faro's mood was also heavy.
He had recovered from the shock just now and was sitting next to Claire, stroking her back.
"Claire...it will be fine. The Demon War has been going on for almost ten years. They have all been small-scale conflicts. Except for the last one, they haven't been too intense..."
Faro spoke in a soft and gentle tone, analyzing the development of the war as optimistically as possible.
I don't want Claire to feel too much pressure in facing this inevitable war.
However, the worry that he couldn't hide in his eyes betrayed him.
This is going to war after all, the most brutal act in human history.
The young men of the two countries fought brutally in the gunfire. It was absurd and twisted. It was hard to say that your family would be able to return from the battlefield safely.
Even for a strong person of Claire's level, Faro couldn't help but worry.
If it is possible.
He hoped that Claire would never go to war again in her life.
However, Claire shook her head and looked at Faro with the same expression as him.
"I'm not afraid of war, and I'm not worried about my own safety. My strength won't allow me to get hurt in such a place."
"It's you I'm worried about."
"After I leave, there will be no one around you to protect you."
"The people in the Arcane Ring Council don't have good intentions. It's hard to guarantee that they won't do something else to you."
Farlow understood her concerns.
Then he told her that he had hired a magic operator.
And he assured Claire that she would be well protected with the new councillor Elliot.
Claire's eyes were filled with sorrow and confusion.
He opened his mouth to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
She silently took Faro into her arms and hugged him tightly.
“Claire…”
"..."
The two hugged each other in silence.
