Chapter 185 Truth

When Ashu Rufat arrived at the outpost, the little girl and Lalia had been waiting for a long time.

Since the siege of Fornoros City had been settled and Byron had no Allies nearby, the security forces outside the barracks had been weakened to the limit. Only a few more critical positions left outposts to prevent irrelevant people from approaching the barracks. When the little girl and her group came over, they happened to be stopped by the outposts.

Because I wanted a private meeting, the little girl did not reveal her identity as the queen and broke into the military camp to meet Ash Rufate.

"Why haven't Ash Rufate come yet?" the little girl complained softly to Lalia. At this time, both of them were wearing traveling cloaks and covering their faces with hoods - just like all those travelers under the scorching sun would do.

"He's here." Lalia suddenly answered. She seemed to be struggling hard, and her voice became a little weird. "I have to take it aside."

After saying that, she turned around and ran back, not even having time to ride a horse. However, her speed was incredibly fast, and she was extremely neat, and she ran to the limit of her vision in an instant. Not to mention the soldiers at those outposts, even the little girl was about to fall out of her eyes.

The little girl had no idea why this happened. Although Lalia seemed normal, every time Ashu Rufat approached, she would try her best to avoid it. But then again, this was not a complete bad thing for her. At least she didn't have to worry about some unnecessary things.

Asu Rufate came indeed. Although he was wearing a helmet and deliberately put down his mask, a woman had keen intuition. The little girl could see Asu Rufate at a glance.

She waited patiently for a while and watched Ashu Rufate say a few words to the soldiers on duty at the outposts. The soldiers left immediately. Now, there are only two of them left here.

Ashu Rufate took off his helmet, and the little girl also lifted her hood. The two of them looked at each other, but no one spoke first.

In fact, they were not too long since their last breakup, and in terms of time, it was only about two months. But looking at Ash Rufate's face, the little girl suddenly had an indescribable impulse. She seemed to pounce on her, just like she had done in the past, hugging Ash Rufate and telling him all the longing after the parting, as well as various worries, troubles and doubts. But for some reason, another force stopped this impulse, which made her stand still and quietly look at the other person's face.

After a long time, perhaps a century, the silence was finally broken. The little girl found the name "Ashu Rufate" sounded in her throat.

"Her Majesty the Queen." Ashu Rufate paid a simple tribute. This was not a rude move, because he was wearing armor at this time, and some movements were not convenient.

But this is not what the little girl wants to hear. For some reason, at this moment, when there were only two people, she didn't want to hear Ashu Rufate say this. Speaking of which, it seemed that a year ago, she was still working hard again and again, hoping that Ashu Rufate could call her like this.

Nothing can change a person better than the environment.

"Why are you here?" Ashu Rufate's expression was very natural. This made the little girl unable to help but wonder whether it was because she was just being self-indulgent and thinking too much.

"The barbarians have already made a large invasion with White Fort. You should not come here at this time." Ashu Rufate continued. "The Eagle City needs you."

"I..." Perhaps it was Eshu Rufate's untrue attitude, this indifferent tone that made her feel angry, and the little girl finally spoke. "I came here because I heard something."

"One thing?"

"How do you know the news of the barbarian invasion?" the little girl suddenly asked.

"Because I also have some news channels," Ash Rufate replied. "At present, they are still attacking several castles on the front line on the main road... These castles should be able to withstand a few months. But when these castles are broken, the situation may become very dangerous."

"Dangerous? Why is it dangerous?" Although the little girl knew about the barbarian invasion, to be honest, she did not feel the danger that Ashu Rufate said. This is because Groney had made sufficient preparations for this invasion, including mental and material preparation. Although the White Fort was occupied by the barbarians, Groney had also established several solid fortresses, had sufficient garrisons, and implemented the strategic idea of ​​firming the walls and clearing the wilderness. As we all know, firming the walls and clearing the wilderness may not be a clever method, but it is indeed a tactic that is effective for any invaders.

Therefore, as planned, the barbarians temporarily stopped under the city. Although this was undoubtedly a fierce and massive invasion, there was no such thing as too serious loss at the moment.

The real danger lies in the church's investigation results. Regarding the fact that a certain evil god wizard mastered filthy magic and could cause people in the entire castle and even the entire city to get sick in a short period of time. However, although there is a lot of evidence for such things, it is strange that on the main battlefield, this kind of magic is the place where the most important thing should appear, there is no such situation.

Perhaps this shows that there are many limitations to this kind of evil magic? Or the evil god wizard has not yet fully improved and mastered it. But no matter what, the worst situation did not happen. The church breathed a sigh of relief for a while.

"If there are no reinforcements, then no castle will be endlessly resisted." Ashrufate said. "And there are a large number of wizards among the barbarians... Castles are not omnipotent." He looked sighing. "General Beral did formulate a combat plan for the barbarian invasion, but to be honest, relying on castles to block and consume the enemy, and then counterattack when the enemy's teachers and veterans are tired, and they cooperate inside and outside... It's simple to say, but difficult to do. If it's not good to seize the opportunity, it may turn into a head-on battle. It would be fine if it turns into an ambush or raid..."

He didn't continue, because there was a clear look of anger on the little girl's face.

This anger came in strange ways. Maybe even the little girl couldn't explain why. Maybe it was because of the vague accusation in Ash Rufat's words? Maybe it was because of these irrelevant topics at this time? Or was it because of his expression that seemed to have no feelings when he met again?

"Ash Rufate!" the little girl raised her chin proudly. "I came here because someone told me that you were trying to destroy the city of Fornoros."

"I did," Ash Rufate replied, shrugging. "Under your order."

"you……"

"I tried my best to finally get a dwarf engineering team. I have to say that they are much better than humans in engineering... They started digging from a long distance, digging a tunnel until under the city wall. Then they buried gunpowder at that location... The battle was over last night. Byron committed suicide by swallowing his gun in despair, and I saw his corpse... Things are almost done. Her Majesty, if you want, you should still go and see Byron's body now."

He paused for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face. "And I know Essin has defeated the Duke of Adias. His tactics are very clever and he easily breaks the fortress that Adias thinks is strong. I have to congratulate you. There are such excellent talents around you."

"I didn't mean that. Someone told me that you were going to... kill everyone in Fornoros."

"This news," Ashu Rufat pondered for a moment. "It should be notified to you by our Prime Minister Lord Elinn. Don't blame him. This is his duty. Although he knows that this is being used as a gun, he has to do it."

"serve as hatchet man?"

"He is a very responsible prime minister. When the generals on the front line fought, he had already made a series of personnel arrangements. Essin had captured the territories all the way, and the governors who took over immediately followed. Fornoros City is definitely no exception. Such a good and big city, I'm afraid that the people below will be defeated just to compete for the position of the governor. In this case, how could the final alternate governor be willing to fly the duck that he had worked hard to cook? He must do something..."

"Do you really want to do this?" The little girl interrupted Ash Rufate's words. Roltiya's education is effective. The little girl now has fully mastered the tricks of conversation and is no longer easily misleading topics.

Ash Rufat smiled softly and looked at the little girl. For some reason, although his expression was smiling, his eyes looked... and made people feel like they were hard on their backs.

"To be honest, I do have that."

"Why?"

"Remember the topic we once said?" Asu Ruffat did not answer positively. "I remember that time... I was your personal guard. You praised Garunas's record in front of me... It was about him attacking Tiberi's land, burning, killing and looting." He paused for a moment, and his smile completely disappeared from his face. "The things now are no different from that time. The royal power must be laid by the blood of the innocent. They were chosen, so they were more unlucky, that's it. Or it could be said that because they were stupid, they deserved to die! This might be easier to understand."

"But they are... Groni people. They are my people..." The little girl found herself overwhelmed. In fact, she had felt this feeling in Asu Rufate. Asu Rufate would reveal this fearful trait when it happened. The mother-in-law called this "king spirit". But in the little girl's opinion, no matter how she thought about it, it had nothing to do with "king". It is hard to describe what this feeling that makes people feel cold. What must be said is fear, something that should not belong to humans.
