Chapter 808: Close Quarter Combat
”Did you hear any sound?” Edith looked at Brian as instructing the soldiers to arrange an underground defense line
”Any sound?” Brian stopped what he was doing, looked around in puzzle except the sound of running water”
”Really?” Edith frowned ”Am I mistaken?”
”What kind of sound was that?”
”Like the sound of a horn, very muffled similar to the sound of water,” Edith paused ”It seemed to come from the south”
That was the direction where the witches went for a deep exploration The turbulent underground river went froround cave Although there eird illu plants on both sides of the river, they could not provide light for far away places The entire as like an entrance to an abyss which devoured everything she saw
”That I think probably because we're deep in the mountain, which deprives us the vision of the sky, plus the lack of the light of a fire, you htfully ”For the soldiers who have been to a battlefield, this isn't a big probleht feel nervous If you feel uneasy, Miss Margie can accompany you to return to the aisle exit”
A familiar look, familiar words Edith was not surprised by the speech of the Gun Battalion coht leather ar on her waist, most of the people there still took her as an observer froirl, just like her title, pretty and fragile That was also the reason why people cared and pleased her all the way
What those people did not understand was that the pearls produced by the giant claion had been soaked in blood
The blood of fish, of water beasts or even of the fishermen
That hy they could grow so big, into the size of a fist
Roland Winored her appearance in the beginning and even took her as an opponent
”Thanks, but I'm better off here If I run back, doesn't it h Edith did not tell Brian as in her estion with a s while, he shunned away in embarrassment
”I don't think His Majesty or Barov would hed twice ”I just don't understand why you caerous place?”
”For only in this way could you trust me,” Edith said frankly
”W What?”
”You must have heard of the Battle of Divine Will,” she said calmly ”When such a battle that determines human's lives comes, it'd be hard for His Majesty to consider every aspect of the war situation He'll need many officers to assist him to command the aristics By that tiht with you shoulder by shoulder or one who sits in the office every day dealing with paperwork?”
Brian was startled After a moment, he said, ”You're really brave to make such a speech”
Edith understood what he was referring to Even an indigenous former Patrol Leader understood what she meant At best, what she wanted to do was called assistant co or it could be called power interference, which was totally unbearable in the eyes of other lords who claihts
But now, the number of soldiers of the First Arement method was obviously outdated As a matter of fact, the Adviser Departanization between the army and the City Hall, which was eventually under Roland's control but the coht underneath would further spread Because Edith understood Roland's ideas, she dared to make that speech It was not that she intended to join the Adviser Department, but she wanted to extend her influence as much as possible
”If it was any other kings, I'd definitely not do that, but His Majesty is different” Edith said, s, ”You know that it was me who proposed that anyone ants to be proo to a battlefield first This being said, it's better that I set an example for the others”
”Has His Majesty agreed?”
”Not really, but he didn't object to it”
”Ureed?” Brian asked confusedly
