Chapter 233 Kress' Situation
It was very late, but Vincent was still working at his desk, and the pen in his hand was still moving back and forth on the paper, writing non-stop.

Suddenly, he sharply raised his eyes and looked towards the door.

Although there seemed to be nothing abnormal in the room, Vincent knew that someone had sneaked in. He raised his hand, and the pen in his hand flew straight out. The sharp tip of the pen had a sharp cold light, enough to stab people out of the hole.

A plain white hand caught the pen, and the tail feathers of the quill kept trembling. Kress lifted the magic to hide her figure, revealing her existence.

A look of surprise appeared on Vincent's face: "Why are you back today?"

Based on the time, Kress shouldn't be back today, did she hear some rumors or is there some other reason?

Despite the many thoughts in his heart, Vincent didn't show any panic on his face. He walked forward naturally, put his arms around Ke Leisi's shoulders, and led her to the room.

"Nothing else," Kress shook her head, "I just feel a little flustered in my heart, and I have to come back."

After Kress came back, she didn't go back directly to the City Lord's Mansion, but went around to her information point first, and found that there was no information sent from the demons, and then returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

But as soon as she entered the City Lord's Mansion, she felt something was wrong.

Human flavor, too weak.

Even in the middle of the night, there should be some human-made movement in each room, the sound of cloth rolling on the bed, the sound of grinding teeth while sleeping, or the sound of snoring, but these movements are very faint and almost non-existent.

There was almost no one in the city lord's mansion. How could this be the case? Her first reaction was naturally to go to Vincent first, but she didn't want Vincent to notice, so she chose to hide and sneak in.

Although discovered by Vincent, she also saw that Vincent was doing a good job, which was no different from before.

So she didn't understand what Vincent was doing even more.

Vincent smiled helplessly: "I thought you came back because you missed me."

"Don't be kidding me," Cress denied grimly. "I don't have that much leisure."

Yes, Kress is also very anxious recently. The frontline battle cannot be carried out smoothly, and there seems to be an accident in the Demon Race. The disagreement among the high-level people has caused the army that should have arrived at the border to be stationed on the road.

Kress felt that the word "abandoned child" was engraved on her body.

How could she care about other things in this situation? No matter how capable she was, she was under a lot of pressure.

Under the premise of being mentally tense, any situation beyond her control made her feel uneasy, and even made her feel like a thorn in her back, as if things beyond her control would turn into huge waves and swallow her up in the next moment.

"What are you going to do?" Pushing away Vincent's hand on her shoulder, and turning to look at Vincent, Kress asked, "Where did you send them?"

"Don't be so angry," Vincent calmed Ke Leisi's emotions with good words, and kept stroking her back and forth with his palms to calm her breath, "Listen to me and speak slowly."

Kress knew that she was a little too aggressive now, she had already punished many people in the barracks, but none of these made her feel relieved in the slightest.

She took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, forced herself to relax, and talked to Vincent with a steady state of mind: "Sorry, you continue."

How to fool Ke Leisi, Vincent has already prepared a plan, and at this moment, he is just coaxing her fluently.

"You know those maids, one of them died before, right?" He said lightly, and even expressed a kind of complaint in his tone, "If you start at the beginning, the ones behind won't be able to hold back. seek death."

Kress knew that Vincent was not lying. Human nature is like this. As long as someone collapses first, the people behind will not be able to last long.

"Then let them die." Kress also said indifferently, she never cared about the life and death of those maids, after all their lives were worthless.

"It's too noisy, and cleaning is a hassle," Vincent sighed. "It's better to let them play a different role, so I sent them to the country."

"Countryside?" Kress raised her voice slightly, puzzled, "What are you sending them there for?"

Vincent explained: "The farmland has entered the harvest season, and the countryside is short of manpower, so we sent it over."

Kress calculated the time, and it is indeed the season to harvest the fields and replant them. From what he said, there is nothing wrong with Vincent's behavior.

But she still has a strong sense of uneasiness.

"Aren't you afraid that they will take the opportunity to escape?" Kress asked, "No matter what they say, they are all magic. It is easy to escape from the eyes of ordinary people."

But the ones he left there were not ordinary people in the first place.

Of course, you can't tell Kress about this. Vincent just said: "The grain truck completes a round trip every two days. If something happens over there, we won't get the news too late."

Grain truck... Kress's eyebrows darkened: "The military rations at the front line are already very tight. How much food will be produced this time?"

Vincent is familiar with these data: "It is estimated that it can be provided for one to two months."

"All?" Kress asked.

"No, the seeds for the coming year are deducted, and there are also the parts that the common people need to eat."

"If you collect all of them, can you support them for three months?"

Vincent vaguely guessed what Kress was going to do. Selfishly speaking, he was unwilling to answer this question, but he knew he had no choice but to answer: "Yes, so you want to buy all the food?"

"Yes," Kress nodded, "If they want to escape from the city, don't stop them, just let them go."

"Kress..." This decision was not made by Kress, she would not have the kindness to let these civilians live.

"If these civilians want to survive, the only way is to go to the army of the human race. The supplies of the human race will inevitably be consumed by these refugees. As long as they attack when the supplies of the human race are not enough, they will be sure to win a city."

Sure enough, why did he still have any expectations for Kress? He already knew that the indifference and selfishness of the demons was engraved in his bones.

"I see." Vincent replied without interest.

Kress actually knew what was going on in Vincent's heart. Originally, she would not have cared about it, but now that too many things were out of her control, she had to ensure that Vincent was still under her control.

"I'm sorry... I can't help it..." Kress lowered her eyes, showing a tired posture, "If I can't make some achievements, I will be liquidated if I return to the Demon Race."

As long as she can win a city, she will have an explanation after returning, and the chips she uses to fight for survival will also increase.

"I know," Vincent murmured, "I know everything."

He knows it all, that's why he's here.
