Angry bellow echoed from the top of the city’s wall as nearby soldiers made quick pauses and curiously squinted to where I stood
“Yes, sir, all 4 refused” Carlos touched his nose, “I had been convincing them, but these men were particularly determined”
“Haven’t you spent too much time off the battlefield to knohat ‘deterlanced Carlos, “To these bureaucratic lords, determination doesn’t worth a penny”
“I can hardly connect money value to deter is about money, the only difference is how much money” I spat, “Didn’t you tell them the Royal Acade of that, they’ve also required to meet Dean Lorenzo asap” Carlos replied, with a hint of helplessness
“Let ht: they refusedfor theed, “I can see they don’t like youNo offense, sir, scholars and we arreeDo you call people who deal with oil and mud scholars?”
“I think that’s called ‘paint’Besides, sculptors only go near clay when they make wet bricks”
“Whatever you call it” I said abruptly, “You call yourself a brigadier, huh? Where is your boldness of a soldier? You should see yourself when talking to those wusses”
“Sir, you’re wrong about meI did that on purpose” Carlos made sure no one was nearby, he passionately ca with that old bastardI’ all the fun for you, sir…”
“Spare raduated from the Royal AcademyYou want to save the trouble for me because you can’t force your alumniYou, my head staff, you are actually a sly man”
Carlos dried his face, murmured, “You knew and you said it anywayHave some co’eht away, sir!”
Carlos replied with a laughHow convenient, he had an orderly by the door as if he kneas going to deal with the matterI suspected there’s iant grassland down the city’s wall, adjusting my temper
I was currently on the southern wall of Lissan City, which was partially dae yesterdayToday I was here to inspect the restoration, never expected to run into such a ued me under the condition that the letters I wrote to the neutral viceroys haven’t received any replies
However, these scholars did rank high position in the empire as they were mentors in Royal Acadeadiers
Back in the days,rew a heart for theive a shi+t about the to revenge the Swabian royal family with our lives, these men, who knew only to talk blank words and play with mud, said no to me! I wouldn’t even spare them a look if they didn’t possess the skill I needed
“Sir, maybe it’s time we seriously consider how to deal with these people” Carlos was back, he said gently, “As the war deepens, chances are ill come across s once the war is over”
“I get that tooBut as a man, they’re just too du lord is the one to decide their life and death”
As your staff officer, I can only advise you their mindset is far different from that of ours” Carlos kicked a random stone beside him, “We soldiers instinctively know our environs because it is our duty tolife and deathAnd what about those scholars, they consider their knowledge of the world far beyond anyone besides theht to overlook this world…”

I chortled so hard that itated
“What’s so funny, sir?”
“Far beyond anyone? Permit me to ask them, where were they when Luhrmann rebelled? In a toilet?” I sneered, “I think they are no better than the 36 Clan leaders who demanded benefits fromfor anything”
“Maybe the scholars are not military and soldiers need to protect them from harm”
“Protection? Because of the nature of a soldier?” I humph-ed, “Of course we can protect them, but they’ll have to offer their service in returnNevertheless, they’re citizens of Swabia, the Royal AcaderatitudeI don’t see anything to complain even if I make them slaves ofworldPeople want to get better treatment for thehed
“Either way, in their eyes, I may still be the rascal viceroy, so I shall deal with them with the old-fashi+oned way”
“However, consider the fact that they ht have to work for you for quite some time…”
“Let’s finish the problem at handThere will be soht
“They are here, sir”
I looked over and discovered 4 ed men in bewilderment escorted by soldiersSweaty, they were already out of breath to go up to the short wallCould it be they really ran over here? I was only exaggerating out of angerThey were lucky I didn’t say to have theive orders so carelessly to my subordinates, they will strictly carry them out
“Gentleet to the business” The good-cop Carlos swung off the soldiers behind, “Leave us, we’re good here”
Though I was not looking, I could feel 4 pairs of eyes of hatred piercing through my chest
A harsh voice asked Carlos, “You… you… what do you want?”
“Nothing much, my commander wants to meet, that’s why you’re invited here”
“Invited? We were forced to run across 5 blocks! You call that an invitation?” A second angry, out-of-breath voice yelled
At this ht face, stepped in front of the scholars and squeezed out a cold command, “Keep your voice down!”
Next, ‘TING’, Malphite’s left thu an inch of the blade out of the sheath, left hand cli the scholars’ necks
The atmosphere suddenly frozeAny ordinary person won’t be able to think straight when faced with Malphite’s stare
“Calm, Major Malphite” Carlos first asked the orc to step back, then he talked, “GentleoneTherefore I hope you abide by the ht-forward and severeLike, a signature of Lord Justice will give permission to the executioners to kill on the spot”
“Lord Justice has not signed anything yet…” One of the 4that Malphite has retreated
As soon as he said that, Malphite straightened his chest and strode onward
Carlos was both amused and annoyed
“You take that back!” Carlos talked while trying to stop Malphite, “He is the captain of the viceroy’s guard anointed by His Majesty! He’s the few ones who are allowed to kill even without Lord Justice’s signature!”

Great, Carlos and Malphite’s act were excellentIt was tirass chewing between my teeth, then stepped by Carlos’ side, told Malphite to stand byFinally, I began staring at the four’s faces without any emotions
Till Malphite was behind in to easeNot many people in this world can withstand Malphite’s sharp posture
“Which empire…” I said slowly, “… are you from?”
“That’s ridiculous, we’re Swabian!”
“You people who call yourselves SwabianThen letCli Fischer Sued the spokess! You do knoho’s our true king!” My fingers clutched his collar, swayed violently, “Then why have you refused to serve the royal fao of ling on the edge of the wall like a piece of rag, then dropped on where he stoodHis pale face turned blue
“We wish… ish only the least respect, general” One scholar went just in tiround, “We’re royal scholars who are respected within the entire empire”
