Chapter 1642: Affection

On the third day after the residents of Ark Harbor returned to the city, a team came here. In front of the procession is a carriage, and behind it is a guard. The window on one side of the carriage was opened, and Edward looked out the window. The wilderness outside the window has become a rudimentary form of farmland, where farmers are plowing and women are sowing seeds.

Then the team was stopped by a few men, they were wearing simple leather armor, and the swords in their hands didn't look very sharp. Especially their physique, not like soldiers, but more like peasants wearing equipment.

A man in the lead shouted: "We belong to the militia, who are you?"

Edward opened the carriage and said calmly, "I want to see Orlando."

Almost no one would not know Edward. Many people knew that although Edward was only an earl, he managed the territory for the Marquis of Allen, so his power was not much less than that of the Marquis. He is considered a great nobleman in the south, seeing him, the man from the militia quickly knelt down, and the man who looked like the leader replied: "Lord Orlando and everyone are working in the city, I will inform him immediately. "

After the man told his companions to take Edward to find Ruola first, he jumped on a horse and went into the city.

Edward's carriage finally stopped in front of a tent. When he got out of the car, he saw the tent opened. Ruola and two maids came out and said politely but coldly: "Good morning, Earl Edward, what is it?" The wind has brought you here."

"Good day, Ms. Ruola." Edward said: "The conditions here are limited, and you are pregnant, why don't you consider going back to Dawn Castle?"

"I have a heart." Ruola said lightly: "Although the environment here is not as good as Dawn Castle, this place is always my hometown. I am very happy to stay here, not to mention, I can't trust you, Earl Edward."

Edward nodded: "You are honest, I know you have misunderstood, and I am not willing to defend myself. I can only say that every decision I make is for the overall situation. Since Madam is not willing to go back, then I will Don't force it."

Ruola turned sideways and said, "Please come in."

Walking into the tent with Edward, Ruo La said again: "Go and pour two glasses of water."

Then he said to Edward: "I'm sorry, the conditions here are limited, but there are no drinks to greet adults."

"It's okay." Edward said: "I brought some food here by the way, Madam needs nutrition now, so please be sure to accept it."

"Then I won't be polite."

The two chatted indifferently, and after half an hour, Orlando broke in. Edward was stunned when he saw him, and Orlando took off his armor and Chinese clothes, and his current appearance was no different from those of the workers. There was a towel on his shoulders, and he was wiping his sweat with the towel. He took the glass of water brought by the maid and drank it before he said with a smile, "I made the count laugh."

"Orlando, I want to talk to you." Edward shook his head and said directly.

Ruo La got up and said, "I'll go outside for a walk, you guys can chat."

She took the two maids with her.

When no one else in the tent said anything, Edward stood up and said in a deep voice, "It's too reckless and unwise for you to do this. I can understand that you want to rebuild the Ark Harbor, but why can't you bear it for a while?"

"Don't you know what happened now? Earlier, the patients with fever mutated into monsters. These monsters disappeared for a while. But now they are back. During this time, many parts of the empire have been attacked by monsters. , although there is no movement on our side. But sooner or later they will appear. Is it really appropriate for you to rebuild the city at this time? If monsters appear, tell me why you protect your own people. It is up to you, Or those militia groups that are not popular at all?"

Orlando looked at him with a smile, and broke a piece of bread and handed it over. Edward shook his head, but of course he didn't pick it up. Orlando was not polite, he tore off a piece and threw it into his mouth. While chewing, he said, "Master Earl, to be honest, we really can't hold back if the monster really comes.

But can you? I heard that those monsters are not simple, even the troops of the Imperial Capital and the Panlong Empire have suffered. I am afraid that if the monster army really arrives, you will not be able to repel them. "

"Maybe, but at least I can buy time for the people to retreat. And you, as soon as the monster arrives, there will be corpses everywhere. This is the difference!"

Orlando raised his hand, waved it and said, "Okay, okay, you're right. But my lord, I don't want to, but people miss home so much, I have to think about it. Otherwise, even if I If they are not allowed to come back, they will come back secretly. In fact, many people have returned here secretly before that, and I just follow the people's will."

"Our home is here. Only here can they find their true selves. So you see, even if they die here, everyone still has to come back. I understand your kindness, but please understand ours Get in the mood."

Edward looked at him, and sighed after a while: "Well, since this is the decision of all of you, I will not force it. I will go back now, and I will send you building materials, food, and an army in three days. Don't Count on how strong this army is, but at least stronger than your militia."

Orlando swallowed the bread in two or three bites, clapped his hands and stretched out to Edward and said, "I'm so grateful."

Edward reached out and shook his hand with bread crumbs, and said: "Although you say so, if it is really impossible to do anything, you must retreat no matter what. As long as I am not dead, Bauhinia City can give You provide shelter."

"I see."

At noon, Edward left. The Orlando couple watched the team leave, Ruola took Orlando's hand and said, "Is he so kind?"

Orlando grinned and said: "Edward is indeed a man with a deep mind, and we have used him many times, and he may even have thought of giving up on me. But I am sure of one thing, he will not lie about this kind of thing. The things that should be sent will be sent one by one, and the army will arrive as scheduled, but the relationship between us and him has been correspondingly used up."

"If you calculate it this way, the love between us is probably running out."

Listening to Orlando's words, Ruola sighed, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have supported everyone to come back."

"It's none of your business. In fact, I want to come back too. After all, it's really uncomfortable to live under the fence."

Just after finishing speaking, several men ran over and shouted: "Master Orlando, the construction site in the city wants you to go back. The reconstruction plan of the White Castle has been drawn, but you need to finalize the details."

"Okay, I'll go back now." Orlando held Ruo La's face and said with a smile: "I'm going back to work, you go and rest. I believe you will be able to return to White Castle in a short time."

"Well, I believe it." Ruola laughed, brows and eyes full of happiness.
