Sean thought of various reasons.

I also wondered if the Revolutionary Army wanted to use their city to expand their power, perhaps by establishing a stronghold, etc. But in the end, I felt ridiculous coming up with this answer.

This kind of talk might be enough to fool their own people, but for someone like me who has already entered the ranks of the empire's nobles, it is absurd and ridiculous.

The population, technology and even the natural environment of the southern region are not enough to form a natural barrier. Moreover, due to the recent events in Tacoma City, those who could leave have left, and those who ran to Oro City were those who could not leave.

If the Revolutionary Army truly intended to establish a stronghold in a place like this, then whoever issued the order was completely clueless and acting recklessly. How could a place like Oro City possibly serve as a permanent base? Furthermore, the Revolutionary Army and the Imperial Army had fought for so many years, so they couldn't have been unaware of this.

Sean watched the woman's every move

She did not show any abnormal condition, and even acted panicked when she heard herself say whether she could conquer Oro City. She was not lying or saying that she had predicted what the other person was thinking.

"So you are planning to use my city as the base for the revolutionary army," Sean continued.

The woman said nothing more.

It seems that every time I hit the point, the other party will not reply, which means that my guess was correct.

"Haha, I find that you are an easy to understand woman. As long as you don't say anything, it means I guessed it right. Your name is Tashigi, right?" Sean said deliberately.

While she was talking, the other person's emotions were obviously changing, but she couldn't speak.

Because whether you admit or deny, you are affirming your own words.

After asking almost everything, Sean was about to leave, but before leaving he moved a little closer to the other person.

"I wasn't saying that nonsense. I actually sympathize with you. You might not even know what you're fighting for until you die. You keep talking about civilian freedom and national freedom, but even if the revolutionary army wins, what's the point? There would be no exploitation, no oppression. If everyone was idle and had nothing to do, then this country wouldn't exist. So the revolutionary army is only asking you to sacrifice for themselves."

Reach out and lift the other person's chin.

I thought she looked good when I saw her the other day, but now she looks so ordinary. The foul smell on her body is even nauseating.

The prison cell is really not a place to raise people.

"At least we know how to cherish life better than you do." Dashigi said in a low voice.

"No one doesn't value life, neither me nor my citizens." After saying that, he turned and left the cell.

Several soldiers behind him immediately followed and closed the prison door.

The light suddenly dimmed.

It was so dark that I could even hear my own breathing.

Dashigi wanted to call out a few times to confirm whether his companions were imprisoned in the cell next door, but he had not eaten for two days and had no strength left to shout.

Even if you shout, the soldiers outside will hear you.

Hmm

I couldn't help but shed tears. I didn't cry even when I was facing Count Weiger, but I couldn't help crying after others left.

Trapped in the dark cell day and night, she had no idea how much time had passed outside. All she could see was darkness, with only a ray of light occasionally shining from the cell door. The guards' meal delivery times were not uniform, making it difficult for Tashigi to estimate the time that had passed.

Two days or three days

She can no longer remember clearly.

The first iron rule from joining the revolutionary army is to rather die than betray the organization and companions

I strictly followed the instructions, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult in reality. My spirit was almost at its limit in such a short time.

Tashigi felt that she was not a person who was afraid of death, and she was eager to die in battle, so that at least her fighting efforts would not be in vain. She should have died since she was a child, after her hometown village was forcibly confiscated by local nobles, causing her family to starve to death.

He had no choice but to eat the dog, his only playmate, which he had raised since childhood, and only then he managed to hold on until the arrival of the revolutionary army.

From that moment on, Tashigi attributed all her hatred to the nobles. If they had not increased the grain levy every year for their own selfish desires, the people in her family would not have starved to death. Therefore, Tashigi felt that it was natural for all the nobles and their lackeys who died at her hands over the years.

only

My hands are already covered in blood

Those who kill much will eventually be killed.

This is a phrase that pastors in my hometown often say, and they also use it to tell people to be kind.

Therefore, during these years, Tashigi was waiting for the day when she would die in battle.

But it’s definitely not what it looks like now.

He died in a dark underground cell, covered in filth and full of resentment.

He raised his head and made a "uh" sound, but it was so soft that no one outside could hear it.

Dashiqi couldn't help crying again

For my dead companions, and for my own cowardice

After leaving the cell, Sean went directly to the hall outside the study, where his sandbox was located.

Standing here, I can see everything that happens in the entire Oro City, and I can also see Joseph leading a four-man mercenary team to capture the rebels in the northern part of the city.

"grown ups."

Harry, who had been waiting outside the study, finally saw Sean coming.

"What is it?" he replied calmly.

It has been almost two months since Sean became the Earl. He has gradually become accustomed to having everyone report everything about his life to him. He almost never has a moment of free time. Whenever he sees that he is free, these people around him will always find him.

"I received a message from Lietis. I had a good friend of mine at the Erudite Library deliver the letter. He replied saying that the alchemist you were looking for was surprised when he heard your name, and agreed to come over later."

"Afterwards" I had already mentioned the matter of the Book of the Dead in the letter, so didn't the other party rush over as soon as possible?

"Well, yes. It is said that Master Alphonse was very anxious to come here, but the Alchemist Guild suddenly received an order from Prince Philip to stockpile a large amount of medicinal materials within three months." Harry said.

"Why"

"That's what my friend said." Harry suddenly glanced at the door.

He whispered when there were no guards.

"In the north, the Borg army seems to be making some moves."

Borg

Sean suddenly remembered that he had heard the wood elf Caitlin talk about a similar situation in the town before. He looked at the sand table in the middle of the room, and then looked at Harry himself.

“I see, I see.”

Sean said to himself.
