Catalog of the Lost - a searing epic

The

cheers and cheers followed Emel from the Morelliano gate to the outside of the castle, and they all wanted to see the hero's appearance, so that the street was so flooded that even when Emel and his party entered the castle, they could hear the cheers outside.

After entering the castle, Shree Gossiu took Emer to a reception room on the second floor of the castle, and dismissed Lancel and the attendants after the attendants took off their cloaks for her.

After the attendants had walked out and Lancel had closed the door, Slay asked Emer, "Tell me what you think, Emer, how are you feeling now?"

The two thoughts in Emer's mind collided, on the one hand, he considered himself unworthy, and the honor he had won by chance seemed extremely despicable, and on the other hand, he secretly rejoiced that the people were in good spirits, that the war had not spread panic among the people, and that Moreliano had not become the next town of Rulu.

"It's complicated," Emel glanced at Shlay hostilely, "I don't think it's the right thing to do, but..."

Slay laughed, a mocking laugh, as if mocking Emer.

"What is the right thing to do, Emer, like two sides of the same coin, can you be sure that one is the obverse, is it the number that marks the amount, or is it the portrait of King Faro?".

Although Emer didn't care on the surface, for him now, Slay was not the only one who laughed at him, but also those who had not yet had time to wear the honor, he clenched his fists and whispered, "It's too unfair to those who die." "

"What about the living?" Slay's question instantly dissipated Emer's anger, and he couldn't say a word, only Slay paced back and forth in the reception room, "Hope is necessary, so... Even if you resent me, I have nothing to say, but I still want you to look at them, look at those who are still singing, and ask yourself, is this falsehood wrong? We know that this war will not last long, and General Lester will soon lead his troops to sweep away, and if we do not even do these falsehoods, then the panic and turmoil will bring irreparable damage to this country. "

"But I caused all this!" Emel roared in a daze, not even he imagined that Sly's words would have such a big impact on him, he meant to completely forget about the dead warriors, without mentioning their sacrifices, as if they were dead and dead, everything they did meant nothing, and Emel had to take responsibility for them, "I pushed them into battle! I encouraged them to become corpses!"

"I pushed you into this position!", Slay also roared angrily, although the roar sounded angry, but his expression was very ordinary, only he knew, the guilt and self-blame were on his face, but it was not obvious, "Do you think I won't feel self-blame? I am the culprit who caused tens of thousands of deaths, but what can I do, you must admit that it is the right thing to do, because the result is good, it is precisely because of the complete monopoly of information on the front and rear lines, Morelliano, None of the billion-rubino and the dozens of towns in the rear will become a second Lulu town. "

Emel was speechless, he hated the feeling of being used, but he was unable to act impulsively because of what could now be called the best result, so he could only bear the honor in torment.

"Why did the town of Lulu become the way it is?".

Hearing this, Slay sat down on the couch as if she were slumped, holding her head in her hands, extremely annoyed.

"I don't know, I didn't do anything wrong, I turned the town of Lulu from a desolate village into a town comparable to Morelliano, and made the lives of the inhabitants of the town of Lulu a huge improvement, I don't know what I did wrong, the appearance of the steel nails has nothing to do with me. "

"They only kill the lords, and the lords up to now have been killed, before that..."

"Do you mean I'm damned?" Slay glared at Emel fiercely, his eyes didn't show the gentleness of the two when they met, only the fierceness and viciousness, "I don't want to quarrel with you, Emer, I thought you and I were all the way, it seems that I was wrong." "

Just then, the door to the reception room opened, and outside the door came two men in heavy armor and swords at their waists, and Emer recognized the man standing behind him at a glance and recalled his name.

Slay turned his expression and stood up from the sofa, and in just an instant, he turned back into the gentle and elegant him, he respectfully faced the man in front of him, and said, "General Rest, this is Emer." "

He was Lester Faro, a legend whose name could be heard anywhere in the kingdom, and Emer was struck by the aura he exuded when he first saw him, his hearty face was covered with scars, his eyes were bright, perhaps because he was wearing iron boots, he was taller than Hermel, and his waist was straight, Emer probably understood why Barron wanted to be a soldier under General Lester, because what he wanted to do most at the moment was to look at Lester's back, and imagine chasing him with all his might on the battlefield, behind such a heroic back.

"General, I'm Emer. "

Emer was stunned for a long time before he stepped forward, he gave a military salute in front of General Lester, and then straightened his back like a soldier waiting to be examined.

"The eyes are good, serious and majestic, and the physique is not bad", after looking up and down, Lester introduced the people around him, "Introduction, Ivanlin, my lieutenant, you should have met, he once greeted you on my behalf." "

Emer didn't expect this person to be General Rester's lieutenant, he thought this person was just a trader, so he was a little embarrassed and apologized to Ivanlin: "I'm sorry, I thought you were a businessman." "

Ivanlin smiled slightly and said, "This is the case, why do you think that the merchant and the lieutenant cannot be the same person?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Lester suggested that everyone sit down, with Emel and Slay sitting on the couch immediately behind Leist, while Ivanlin stood straight behind Lester.

"I don't know whether to congratulate or praise you, Emer, I saw the tomb of Domanik, the corpses of hundreds of soldiers, and two Imperial men, one crushed under the rubble, the other with a sword stuck in his neck, although you will be going to meet King Faro in a moment, but I still think we should do this", Lester stood up, and Ivanlin also took out a bottle of wine behind his back, handed it to Leist, and then went to the table and picked up two glasses, and handed them one by one after Lester opened the bottle of wine," If it weren't for the big commotion you made, I'd have wanted to drink this wine on the land", Rester didn't accuse, but glanced at Shray as he said this, telling Emel that he knew he was being used, and then he handed Emel the full glass of wine, leaving one in his own hand, and poured the entire bottle on the floor of the reception room.

"To the warriors!".

After saying that, Lester poured out the wine.

Emel was almost crying, and she threw up her head and poured her wine away, then straightened up and bent down to thank Lester.

"On their behalf, I thank the general!".

During the whole process, Shree Gosho was left to dry, and naturally he didn't have a good face.

Immediately afterward, the three of them sat down again.

"Now let's get down to business, though I don't know the purpose of King Faro's sight on you, but he wants to marry your last daughter, Jeffer Faro. "

"Princess Jenfer?" Slai's tone was a little yin and yang, because he had just been left to dry, so he was angry now, "General Rest, with all due respect, this should be impossible, after all, her temperament. "

"Have you forgotten? Slay, you told me that Emmel's personality is a good match for Jenfer. "

Shlay remembered that he had brought up this topic in small talk before, so he had to defend: "That was a long time ago, and I hadn't seen Emel in person at that time, but now, I feel that Emel and Princess Jenfer are a little... It doesn't match, and the personality is too bad. "

"This is a matter for the two of them, and as long as King Faro gives the order, we will not be able to interfere with anything. "

The embarrassment just now calmed down Sly, and he hurriedly continued with Lester's words: "Then I can only trust our noble king, his orders are never right." "

"The next thing is a private matter", Lester turned to Emer, and that look moved Emer, "Emer, I am short of an adjutant general now, and there are about 10,000 soldiers who can be assigned, and they are the elite soldiers I have selected, and I want to leave this position to you." "

When he heard the 'lieutenant', Emer almost immediately agreed, but after hearing that ten thousand soldiers could be allocated, Emel hesitated, he did not think that he was worthy of these soldiers, and was silent for a while.

"If you're not affected by experience, you have talent and potential, after all, Ivanlin is only in his early thirties, and you're this year..."

"Twenty-two years old. "

"Younger than I thought," Rest's face was pleasantly surprised, and he threw an olive branch to Emer again, "If you are willing to be my lieutenant, I will give you the opportunity to temper you." "

Emer was still hesitating, and when Slay saw this, he immediately gave Emer a round and said, "General Rest, I see that Lord Emer is very hesitant, it's better to give him a little time to think about it." "

"That's fine, think about it, I still have something to do, and I'll leave the rest to Master Sly", after speaking, Lester stood up, and Emer also stood up, but he didn't expect Lester's hand to pat him directly on the shoulder, "Work hard, Emer, I'm optimistic about you." "

Lester glanced at Shree Gosho at the last moment, and when he saw the look of surprise on his face, a subtle smile appeared on his lips.

"King Faro is waiting for you. "
