"I, where am I?"
When Bianka opened her eyes again, what appeared in front of her was no longer the barracks tent with the attributes in her memory.
Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling above her head, Bianka, who had just woken up from her sleep, was actually a bit confused about where she was for a moment.
"Although it's tempting to tell you that we've returned to the Imperial Capital safely, unfortunately, Bianka, the location we're in now is still in the fortress."
Before Bianka herself could figure out where she was, Shakespeare, who had been by Bianka's side, was the one who gave Bianka a step ahead of time.
"I see."
Hearing that he was still in the fortress, Bianka nodded.
"Sasha, how is the situation now?"
Bianka remembered very clearly that before she completely passed out due to her exertion, she had met Lu Yu and had learned that it was Lu Yu who had brought soldiers to save the fortress.
"Speaking of the situation, Bianka, I have two pieces of news here, one good and one bad, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Let's start with the good one."
Bianka could have heard so much bad news in the past few days that the current Bianka didn't want to hear any of the so-called bad news at all.
"The good news is that the support we've been waiting so hard for during the days you've been unconscious has finally arrived."
While saying the word support, a trace of thick mockery appeared on Shakespeare's face.
"Bianka, do you know how many soldiers and supplies have come? To tell you the truth, you probably won't even believe it, that group of profit-oriented ministers actually sent out a full 10,000 soldiers as well as enough military rations to feed those 10,000 soldiers for the first half of the year."
"..."
After hearing Shakespeare's words, Bianka was silent for a while.
"What about the bad news?"
Bianka didn't want to have any comments on this so-called good news, because these ten thousand soldiers and half a year's rations were no longer important to her now.
"The bad news is that these new 10,000 soldiers have already been delivered to Lu Yu's hands before they were even warmed up, and then he also took the portion of our original defending force that still retains the ability to fight with him by the way."
"..."
After hearing that the soldiers were all taken over by Lu Yu, Bianka was a little surprised, she was the commander in chief, how did Lu Yu have the right to take away the soldiers that had been transferred from the imperial capital from herself as well as from Shakespeare?
"Sasha, why can Lu Yu take away those soldiers? According to the rules in this fortress the only person who can have the right to mobilize the soldiers besides me as the main marshal is you as the deputy marshal, could it be that you ..."
Seeing Bianka doubting herself, Shakespeare smiled helplessly.
"Bianka, although my feelings for Lu Yu haven't changed after so many years, but you should also be clear about what kind of person I am, do you guess that I will hand over the military power just because I like him?"
"That's right too, Sasha you're not someone who would do that, sorry about that."
Bianka knew very well that Shakespeare wasn't the standard kind of love brain, on the contrary, a large part of the reason why Shakespeare could be her military advisor nowadays was because Shakespeare had the ability to make absolutely rational judgments about anything.
It would be strange to say that such a Shakespeare would easily hand over military power to Lu Yu.
However, since it wasn't Shakespeare who handed it over, on what basis did Lu Yu transfer the soldiers?
Here was reality and not child's play, feelings were feelings, but army mobilization was a first-class event, so it was no wonder that Bianka would think too much.
"Sasha, what exactly happened?"
After going around in circles, Bianka could only look at Shakespeare, having just come out of a coma she knew nothing, so how could she possibly know what kind of changes had happened in the past few days?
"To put it simply, the news of Lu Yu's total annihilation of the enemy army at the great battle a few days ago was sent back to the imperial capital, and along with this news was Lu Yu's petition, Lu Yu said that the time was ripe, and that the enemy country was now greatly wounded, and that this was the perfect time to attack."
"What happened then was simple, nothing could prove Lu Yu's strength more than that battle a few days ago, so during the daytime yesterday, Lu Yu was crowned as the new Lord Commander, and then he ran off to attack the city with all the troops we had at hand that we could use."
"..."
"Ridiculous!"
"Yeah, I think it's ridiculous too." Shakespeare waved a hand.
"It is indeed absurd that you and I, who have waited for dozens of days in this fortress to wait for support that cannot come, ended up waiting for Lu Yu to come in less than two days."
"No, Shakespeare, that's not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about ..."
"Bianka, of course I know what you're trying to say about absurdity, but you have to know one thing, and that is that it's not absurd, standing in Lu Yu's situation, if it were me, I would choose to do the same."
The enemy had just suffered a defeat, the elite troops sent out to attack were all killed, the commander-in-chief was also decapitated, and even the main camp was allowed to be terminated by Lu Yu, so it could be said that they were greatly wounded, such a good opportunity was given to Shakespeare, and she one million percent would have chosen to go and try to break the other side's border gates just as Lu Yu did.
Whether it can be broken or not is one thing, but such a good opportunity, not to break it, that is really not in line with Shakespeare's character of a genius military advisor.
"But, Sasha, the purpose of our fight until now is not to become the aggressor, we are only here to protect this country."
Hearing Bianka's statement so naive, Shakespeare burst out laughing.
"Bianka, do you know what the only way to world peace is?"
"What is it?"
"That would be to make everyone in this world do your bidding, and then the world would naturally be at peace."
"..."
Hearing Shakespeare's words, Bianka didn't know how to retort for a moment, after a few seconds of silence, Bianka spat out two words, "Crooked reasoning."
"Yes, it is indeed crooked reasoning, but you also have to admit that it is also the truth, besides, didn't Lu Yu also succeed in getting enough soldiers and military food from those stingy old undead hands, since he is coming, we might as well see how far he can go well."
"But those ten thousand soldiers are ... too much for this country."
"Stop, stop, Bianka, you can't say how important these 10,000 soldiers are to this country, if it's really important, guess why these 10,000 soldiers coincidentally just arrived at the time just after the battle?"
"Why?"
Bianka, who didn't understand the curves, only looked at Shakespeare in confusion.
"Because, this time it's to divide the property."
"?"
Seeing Bianka still with a bewildered expression, Shakespeare could only sigh.
Bianka was good at everything, she was good-looking and able to fight, her personality and temper and all that, and her body and all that was pretty much perfect, but maybe it was because everything else was too perfect, so in order to balance out her overall score a bit, God assigned her the disadvantage of not being very good with her brain.
"Bianka, what do you think of Lu Yu's current strength?"
"Strength?"
Hearing the word strength, Bianka remembered the battle she had witnessed before she fell unconscious.
In that battle, Lu Yu, who was surrounded by thousands of people in the crowd, killed the enemy as if he was a god or a demon, and the enemy force of thousands of people was as if it was the same as air in his eyes.
Come to think of it, such a terrifying strength, spare yourself could not do it at all.
"He, he should already be far superior to me."
Gritting her teeth, Bianka somewhat unwillingly uttered this conclusion.
As a woman, especially a woman who has always liked Lu Yu, Bianka has always been the most confident place is her force, after all, compared to the appearance, Shakespeare's is not weaker than her at all, so really want to say a little bit of what is different, that is, Bianka as a natural born in the battle has a common people can not match the strength of this point.
In fact, Bianka all these years have been trying to cultivate their own strength, in order to one day can protect in front of Lu Yu's body, so that ten years ago that tragedy no longer happen, but who thought of, ten years later, Lu Yu's strength has been far behind her, now Lu Yu where she needs to protect?
"Well, it seems that you also saw the way he idly walked in the middle of the battlefield that day?"
Hearing Bianka answer like this, Shakespeare was a little surprised.
Normally speaking, if talking about someone is more powerful than her, Bianka is more or less stubborn, after all, since she was ten years old she has been known as the number one warrior in her country, coupled with Bianka's goal all along, the two combined, for the strength of this point, Bianka has a special persistence.
"He, indeed, has become very strong, that kind of skill, I can't do it."
Idle steps.
Shakespeare's use of this word is very good, that day on the battlefield, Lu Yu after the enemy army is really as if walking.
Hearing Bianka say that about Lu Yu, Shakespeare also nodded.
"Right, I also feel that, that guy has changed too outrageously now, such horrible killing skills, plus his scars, how dangerous is this mercenary world to make him morph to this point nowadays?"
Speaking of this, Shakespeare also thought of the scene when Lu Yu carried the unconscious Bianka to her a few days ago.
The two of them had met again after decades, and when she heard the soldiers report that Lu Yu had returned from a great victory with the unconscious Bianka and was right outside the door, Shakespeare's first thought was that she shouldn't rush to find a comb to comb her hair.
However, just as she was about to look for a comb, Shakespeare remembered that this was a border fortress, not her boudoir, so where could she find a comb?
The next second, before Shakespeare could react, Lu Yu had already pushed open the door with Schrödinger and walked in.
And at the first sight of Lu Yu, Shakespeare felt a distinct sting.
Lu Yu's body was covered in blood, and the blood had completely dyed his clothes black and red because of the great battle that had just taken place.
What made Shakespeare care was the wounds on Lu Yu's body that were visible to the naked eye, just like Bianka, she couldn't see it clearly from afar just now, but now that she looked closer, Shakespeare was able to see how many scars there were on Lu Yu's body.
It turns out that the title of King of Mercenaries is not something that can be taken simply.
Thinking of Lu Yu's superb and skillful killing skills, Shakespeare completely imagined how Lu Yu lived his life on a regular basis.
To be able to develop such horrifying killing skills, than Lu Yu must have come out from one cultivation field after another.
A woman was actually a marvelous creature, after she fell in love with someone, the woman would ignore everything that happened to her and then unilaterally go out of her way to pay for her lover.
Just like Shakespeare and Bianka, in fact, these two girls guarding the border fortress and fighting the enemy to the quick death was already a very hard thing to do, but after everything was over, they would put away their own pain these days, for them, their own pain these days was nothing, but instead, it was Lu Yu's experience that moved them more.
"After saying his strength, then let's talk about his ability, Bianka, do you think Lu Yu is a qualified commander-in-chief?"
Bianka shook her head.
"I don't know."
Yes, for the point of whether Lu Yu could be a good skipper, the only answer Bianka gave was that she didn't know.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know, I can tell you, the fact that Lu Yu was able to wipe out the enemy on the battlefield that day, he only brought five hundred men with him."
"Five hundred?"
Hearing the number five hundred, Bianka was shocked.
With only five hundred men, he was able to wipe out the enemy's force of close to ten thousand?
"That's right, five hundred, although each of these five hundred people were experts he brought from the mercenary world, and you have to count his own perverted combat power, but even so, Lu Yu's ability to analyze the battlefield and his mobilization and distribution of these five hundred people was an important basis for the total annihilation of the enemy.
After the battle was over, I went to ask the girl who had been following Lu Yu around, the one who was named Schrödinger after his mentor, and that girl said that the battle plan this time was all customized by Lu Yu alone, and that she was only responsible for acting as Lu Yu's eyes."
Speaking here, Shakespeare's expression turned a little serious.
"Bianka, do you know what this means?"
"What?"
"It means that if what that woman named Schrödinger said is true, then Lu Yu might be the most powerful general in this country."
"..."
After listening to Shakespeare's words, Bianka was once again silent for a while.
"Compared to you?"
"Me?"
Shakespeare smiled.
"I don't think I should be able to do this, Bianka, you have to know one thing, Lu Yu, he but lost his sight ten years ago, and it's such a person who has lost his sight who is doing a better job than me in marshaling his troops, so how do you let me have the nerve to say that I'm better than him?"
Bianka nodded, "So that's how it is, there's such a powerful general, plus the right opportunity, so he can become the new commander-in-chief then take over the military power in our hands right?"
"Yes, that's right."
"..."
"I hate invaders."
"No Bianka, it's only the random acts of aggression that you hate, if I tell you one thing, you won't hate what Lu Yu did."
"What is it?"
"I've already found out that in that case ten years ago, Lu Yu's eyes were blinded by an assassin from an enemy country."
"..."
"Sasha."
"What's wrong?"
"Help me up, I want to go with Lu Yu too!"
