Chapter 19 Return to Salaman
By the time Keane's huddled troops returned to Salaman, the war against the rebels was over.The so-called "rebels" are just a group of civilians in the territory of the Ampere family. Because they couldn't bear the increasingly strict rule of the lord during the war, they assembled troops and rose up to resist. In a short period of time, they gathered a large-scale team. Catch up with the lack of troops within the Salaman Empire, give them enough time and space to develop and grow, and captured several important cities, even faintly approaching the king's capital, the panicked royal family and nobles hastily recalled the far away Gaston's army.
However, civilians are always inferior to a formally trained army. After several battles with the expeditionary army led by Duke Ampere and suffered heavy losses, this "rebel army" unexpectedly gave up all the captured land, disbanded the team, and disappeared. without a trace.Since all the rebels are ordinary civilians, and the rebellion has not been long, there is not much information coming back, and it is difficult to find them if they mix with the crowd.
The frightened royal family not only deprived the lord of the Ampere family of his title of nobility, but also ordered Duke Ampere to conduct a search across the country. They would rather kill [-] people by mistake than let the mastermind of the rebellion go.
The atmosphere in the academy suddenly became deserted. Too many people "disappeared" on the battlefield. Even if they returned triumphantly, even if the princess had promised to award everyone the Medal of Courage, there was no way to dispel the uneasiness and sorrow that lingered in the academy.
Keen has never been a sad person, but when he stayed alone in the empty dormitory, practiced swordsmanship alone in the martial arts field, flipped through thick magic books, and wrote on parchment. When doing homework, he always feels stuffy in his heart from time to time.
He didn't know that this kind of feeling is called changing things and changing people.
Mr. Dino, who had always displeased him, resigned and left school at the beginning of the war. Even Professor Flavi, who had the best relationship with him, didn't know his whereabouts.
The prince's support group, which was thriving under his efforts, now has less than 20 members left, and the prince they admire and love is still uncertain.
What is the point of this war?
Flender was ushered into Charamont's reception room by the butler. The furnishings here were consistent with those of his master, which was very simple.The blue-eyed general rose to meet him.
This was the first time Flender saw Sharamon without armor. The crimson swordsman uniform was simple and elegant, perfectly outlining his tall and smooth body line; , The soft fabric unexpectedly softened the cold and hard contours of his face, making him look less chill and more calm.
Vlad mourned in silence for his gray mage robes.
"Please sit down."
"Well, thank you. Actually, I came this time... to say goodbye to you." Flender raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "I'm not worried about the few friends over there, so I want to go and see them, by the way Also report peace."
Sharamon frowned slightly, "Then do you plan to settle there in the future?"
Flender shook his head: "I will stay there for a while, and leave when things are done. Salaman is too unstable, and there are many things I hate. I will probably go to other places to find A small country settled down."
"The Duke of Ampere is now the hottest dignitary in Salaman, so be careful."
"Ah, I don't have such a strong obsession. I will only do this kind of thing when conditions permit. If there is really no hope, I won't force it too much. Just leave Salaman."
Sharamon has been paying close attention to the changes in Flender's expression. Seeing that his expression is natural and does not seem to be fake, he smiled lightly: "As long as you have a count. Three days later, I will escort His Royal Highness to Salaman to marry him." Princess, if you need help, please contact me in time."
Charamon had a pretty smile, and Flender admired it in his heart.The blue eyes were always cold and sharp on weekdays, but now they lowered their eyelids slightly, and there was a little imperceptible tolerance in their eyes, against the slightly raised corners of their lips, there was an indescribable... tenderness?
Flender shook his head, quickly throwing away this terrible thought.Ilari, he must have taken the wrong medicine to use such unreliable adjectives to describe Sharamon!Maybe the sunlight in the room is too warm and the atmosphere is too harmonious, so it gave him this illusion...it must be like this...
'Ah, little Fran, not so much tenderness as... kindness?I see my lovely offspring laughing like that too. '
'...I can't imagine your kindness...'
"I will, General. Thank you very much for your help all the time." Flender calmed down, bowed slightly, and expressed his gratitude with the most perfect etiquette. "If there is anything useful to me, please be sure to inform me. Although my current strength may not be as good as that wind mage in the Salaman Empire, but given time, I will definitely be able to defeat him."
"I know." Sharamon nodded slightly, "You will become a wind mage not inferior to your father."
Flender did not expect that when he set foot on the land of Salaman again, he would be taken away by the army directly.The place where he was detained was densely packed with nearly a hundred magicians and alchemists, all of whom were civilians.
Then, special military officers brought people one by one into a special hut for interrogation and identification. Some people were released, while others were thrown directly into prison cells. Unwilling curses, pleas, and panicked rebuttals Make the atmosphere in the room more dull and creepy.
The little maroon magician beside Flender began to recite the praises of Ilari in a low voice, but the trembling voice revealed the inner anxiety.
Flender leaned over to comfort him, and quickly figured out what he wanted to know, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Although on the surface, this incident seems to be nothing more than a civilian riot caused by the war, but judging from the current situation, it seems that someone wants to trouble Sasha Ampere.There are many harsh lords, but something happened in the territory of Ampere's family; The king had to stop this war, which could have won huge benefits for the royal family and nobles, and temporarily ease the relationship with Gaston by means of marriage, so as to prevent the country from falling into a situation of internal and external troubles.
However, the consequences of this war will always be borne by someone.The efforts of the nobles in the early stage could not get the desired results. One end of the anger was directed at the rioting civilians, and the other end was probably directed at the culprit who promised them huge profits but failed to fulfill them—the Ampere family; as for the civilians, they were instigated The enthusiasm for war will soon pass, and the grief of losing relatives and friends will further intensify the conflict between the nobles and the common people, and Sasha Ampere, who was popular in the war, bears the brunt.
As the saying goes, the higher you climb, the harder you fall.Sasha publicized public opinion in the early days of the war. The more successful the image was, the stronger the counter-effect would be now. Even the reputation of the two imperial roses who supported the war were damaged.
Flender raised the corners of his lips slightly, feeling a little happy and a little pained in his heart.
The wind wolf has always known Sasha's desire to control power, and even once doubted whether he accepted his feelings because of the title of "Guardian Mage" and the fief equivalent to the duke.
However, Wind Wolf has never supported him to inherit the Duke's position.Sasha has enough ambition, but doesn't have the scheming to match his ambition.His desire for power is too urgent, and this mentality is enough to make him act impetuously, and in this intriguing and deceitful circle of nobles, he will suffer disaster.
Feng Lang once persuaded Sasha to stay in the army, keep his own law and order, train steadily, and maybe he will be promoted to general like Sharamon in the end.
As a result, I heard the news that he was in love with the princess later.
'Ah la, your ex-lover did a great job this time. ’ some elf, who had been silent since just now, that Flender thought he had fallen asleep suddenly interrupted.
'Well, he was too eager to restore the reputation of the Sasha family in the aristocratic circle, hoping to catch the culprit of the rebellion as soon as possible and regain His Majesty's approval.Well, there should be reasons why he hated the organizers of this rebellion. Friend tried his best not to look too gloating.
'This will be hated by many people.By the way, little Fran, why did you fall in love with him in the first place? '
'……have no idea. ’ Flender twitched his lips. He had asked himself this question before, but the answer he gave at the time seemed like a joke now, “I was young and ignorant back then. '
'Everyone makes mistakes in their youth. The Elf King nodded violently in Flender's mind, with a look of sympathy.
Before Flender could speak, a tall and strong swordsman walked up to Flender and smiled grinningly, "It's your turn, boy, go and sit in that small room."
Flender nodded calmly, leaned over and performed a mage's general etiquette, with elegant movements, a calm demeanor, and a natural aristocratic air; The slightly flustered swordsman walked forward.
