Blood Dragon

Section 280 VIII**

Parry saw the woman while examining the sick and wounded.

There are not many women in the city of Neustria, and most of the civilians here have left.Most of the remaining women are also family members of those merchants—the kind that provide military supplies.Of course there is another kind, that is whore.

But Parry was sure the woman in front of him was not.Because according to an obvious fact: the women who mix in a group of Qiu Ba to make money are not big beauties.In the environment of the barracks, women can't be sold for a high price-soldiers don't have that much money, and the number of high-ranking officers is very limited.

The woman was cutting grass when Parry saw her.This is a very common job, in order to keep the horses healthy and vigorous, the hay needs to be broken into pieces by the hail.She was wearing a light-colored sleeveless blouse on her upper body and a blue long skirt with many patches on her lower body. She worked hard and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hands from time to time.

Parry just stood there stupidly, like a puppet, without moving for a long time—not even blinking his eyelids.

That woman is really...beautiful.

There are many kinds of beauties in this world, at least Parry thinks he has seen countless of them—after all, he comes from a famous family, and when it comes to women, he has a little confidence in his vision.But this woman was beyond his common sense.

In fact, the woman's face was nothing special, the eyes were eyes, the nose was a nose, and nothing else was conjured up.But I don't know what's going on, the facial features that are clearly separated can only be regarded as "ordinary", but when combined together, there is an inexplicable attraction, which suddenly attracts the man's eyes to him, and he can no longer move away.

She was only wearing the usual clothes of a handyman (just like the work she did), but it matched her movements of cutting grass, showing off her figure unconsciously.Parry had seen women with hot bodies, but he hadn't seen such a perfect woman with such bumps and curves, and such a woman who couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

She is not beautiful, but can fascinate people. She is not sexy, but directly seduces you to commit crimes.

This is not Parry's personal delusion or wild fantasy.In fact, the same is true for the few followers who follow him.The few of them just stood at a not too far away, watching the woman's cutting grass without taking their eyes off it.

The woman didn't notice—or maybe she did and didn't care.It is conceivable that such a woman has long been accustomed to men's gaffes.She slowly finished the work in hand, and left with a large basket of forage.

It wasn't until her back disappeared that several people came back to their senses.

Because several people lost their composure at the same time, there was no embarrassment between each other.Parry looked at a few followers and coughed lightly.

"Cough...have any of you seen that woman before?"

The attendants exchanged glances with each other, then shook their heads.Obviously, it was also the first time they saw this woman.

"Master," said an older servant. "She should be new here, otherwise, such a beautiful girl will not be unknown."

"Newcomers... have new people come recently? The plague that broke out before... I remember scaring away a lot of people."

"Oh, master, the greed of merchants knows no bounds, even surpassing their fear of death." The servant replied. "In the past few days, I have seen new caravans entering the city, bringing some new goods..."

"goods?"

"Some things like cured meat, wine, tobacco, spices." Another follower replied. "Yesterday I also saw a few merchants selling weapons and armor coming into the city." He suddenly thought of something. "Master General, I think this woman... is not normal, could she be some chaotic believer..."

"Nonsense, it was just discovered that Chaos believers were infiltrating the army, and the church has sent people to investigate everywhere! Under such circumstances, how could the spies of the Chaos Legion get in." Another person retorted.

"Really..." Parry reluctantly glanced at the direction the woman was going away. "You guys, help me find out the identity of this woman."

Several subordinates led the way.

To be honest, Parry's followers acted quickly.One reason this is important is that they are very familiar with the city of Nusteria.It used to be the place where General Rafa was stationed here before. Of course, now Rafa has gone to the rear to "recuperate", and the city has also undergone a great deal of cover for the war.But they still have an intelligence advantage that outsiders don't have.Parry returned to his residence, and his subordinates sent the news without even sitting in the chair.

"It's the tobacco merchant's daughter..." Parry said with some emotion.On the surface he was feeling emotional, but in fact he was reminiscing about the bewitching surprise just now.That is not an ordinary face, even if it is called a peerless beauty, it is not an exaggeration.

"That's right, her father is an ordinary-looking person, but for some reason, he gave birth to a daughter who is all over the country." The subordinate was really emotional.Thanks to Parry's orders, he not only saw the girl again, but also her father, the tobacco merchant.Those two people really don't seem to be related by blood.But this point is beyond doubt, because there are several people in the caravan who can prove that the two of them are indeed father and daughter. "Maybe it's because I inherited my mother's looks."

"Well, are you married?" Judging from her appearance, the girl should be between sixteen and twenty years old.

"No! Don't talk about marriage, not even engagement!"

"Oh, it doesn't look like that. Has no one proposed a marriage?" Although it is said that the marriage age of the common people is slightly later than that of the nobles, but how can such a beautiful girl lack suitors?

"It is said that it is because of her father. The tobacco merchant doesn't want to marry his daughter to anyone casually. He hopes that his daughter can rely on her appearance...to break away from the ranks of common people, for example, to marry a big lord or something...It is best to marry His business has been a huge boost."

"Really, it's really the essence of a businessman." Parry said casually, but if someone looked at him head-on, they would find that the flame in his eyes became more and more intense. "You go down first."

The servant left, and Parry sat alone in a chair.He was calm on the surface, but actually his mind was full of memories of the tobacco merchant's daughter.After a while, he felt his mouth dry, so he grabbed the glass from the table and drank it all in one gulp.But after finishing his drink, he found himself thirstier.A certain desire surpassed the shackles of reason, lingering aggressively in his mind, refusing to leave.

For many years in the past, Parry has always thought that he had a chance to become the queen's husband - and even become the next king.So in terms of private life, he is quite abstaining (by the standards of nobility, of course).Because he has strong competitors, in this competition, any score is precious.He cannot destroy his future because of his temporary indulgence.

However, things are impermanent.In the blink of an eye, his chances of becoming the Queen's husband had become so remote that it was impossible to have any illusions about it.Now, there is no reason for him to be as self-controlled as in the past, is there?

"Master." The door of the room was pushed open, and half a face came in through the crack of the door. "Didn't you say you were going to attend a military meeting?"

"Not going!" Parry said. "Go and reply, just say I'm not feeling well... Anyway, there won't be any major actions for a while, the meeting is just an announcement of some boring news."

The door was closed again.

"That woman..." Parry slammed the glass on the table forcefully, and said viciously.Uncontrollable evil thoughts swelled in his heart, and he didn't even realize that his emotions were unnatural.In this city, he is a big man with military power, while the tobacco merchant is just a mere outsider!

……

"The Chaos Legion has not made any movement." Beler said, "Or they are still keeping some troops to besiege Gaohua City as we estimated before, and the other troops will attack separately."

"Although they choose to avoid the hard bone of Gaohua City, they won't get any cheap money." Baranka replied thoughtfully. "This area...every inhabited area has strong fortifications. To be honest, some places are harder to attack than Gaohua City-every castle is a hard walnut...some places don't even allow the army to deploy at all. It's hard to take advantage."

Ashurfat looked at Belel, "Is there any special news? There should be. Maybe they can't break through, but at least they can use the message scroll."

"Baron Dougan's castle has been captured." Belleel replied after pondering for a moment. "The battle lasted for six days, and finally the Chaos Legion used corpses to pave the way for the attack. In desperation, the border lord first conveyed the news of the battle to Falcon City with a message scroll, and then detonated the gunpowder magazine in the castle... He was a valiant nobleman! This means that the Chaos Legion has suffered a great deal and gained nothing. If I am not mistaken, this kind of thing will happen again and again. And then, sooner or later, the Chaos Legion will realize , Dividing up and attacking in four directions like this has no meaning other than depleting troops... Theoretically, this is the case."

"However, judging from the situation, it will take at least a month until the Chaos Legion realizes that this approach is wrong, and they will not come to the correct conclusion until they hit a wall everywhere. In other words, we can use this month to raise spirits Recharge your batteries and wait patiently," Barranca suggested.That being said, his eyes were on Belleur.Everyone saw something special on Baylor's face.

"That's logically true," Baylor said. "But I always have an ominous premonition... We know that this invading Chaos Legion includes the subordinates of the Four Great Evil Gods... A follower of Khorne, a Chaos Lord named Bloodfang Lord is the commander of this Chaos Legion A Chaos Lord who believes in Khorne may not be good at intrigue, but the subordinates of other evil gods are not that simple. At least I think that the actions of Chaos will never be so simple. In fact, I personally feel that they may not What kind of tactical traps are used... because they have reason to think that our side must be very cautious, but use some means that have nothing to do with combat."
