C623 The Empire Has Never Been Sacred

3"King? Why did you suddenly say this... Wait."

Du Kang was stunned when he saw Rena in full plate armor.    

    

He did not have this feeling just now, but after carefully looking at her, he realized that she was no longer the little girl who followed him to study two years ago.    

    

Unknowingly, she had already become a general in charge of a region.    

    

No wonder she would ask such a question.    

    

"Is it because someone under your command recently gave you a high hat?" Du Kang thought for a moment. "Let me tell you, you can't believe everything your subordinates say. It might cause a big problem. When I was young... "    

    

"Er... No."    

    

Even though she didn't know why the other party had guessed it so accurately, na still shook her head.    

    

"I just suddenly wanted to ask."    

    

"You... forget it."    

    

Du Kang shook his head and gave up on asking.    

    

Du Kang did not think anything would go wrong with his judgment. After all, with Na's personality, she would not consider these problems. However, since Na was going to deny it so much, then she must have her own reasons. The child had already grown up, so he had to respect some of the necessary privacy.    

    

Knowing that taking the initiative to protect her subordinates, na can already be considered a qualified general.    

    

"Regarding the King, I can't give you an answer. I've never done it before. I don't want to do it now, and I won't do it in the future. "    

    

" Why? "    

    

Na was still immersed in her confusion.    

    

"Could it be that there's something bad about becoming a king?"    

    

"This thing... I'll split it in half." Du Kang pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what it is, if there is a good place, there will be a bad place. This is very normal. But how should I put this thing... it's not that easy to treat it like this. "    

    

As he spoke, Du Kang picked up a tree branch and drew on the ground.    

    

"If you become a king, you will get a lot of things, but most importantly, you will get the support of everyone. But if there are more people... it will be very troublesome. It will be very troublesome. Different people want different things. You can't fulfill everyone's expectations. If you can't fulfill their expectations, they will abandon you. If you harm their interests, they will even hate you."    

    

Du Kang looked at the confused Jean and shook his head helplessly.    

    

"For the sake of the bigger picture, some parts will be sacrificed. For the sake of the bigger picture, we will sacrifice some parts in the future. Balancing these contradictions itself was a very difficult thing to do. If we can't do it, the consequences will be very serious."    

    

Creak - -    

    

The tree branch cut across the ground, leaving a shallow mark.    

    

It was like chopping with a knife or an axe.    

    

It was more like the blade mark of an executioner.    

    

"Do you understand?"    

    

"I'm..."    

    

Na fell silent.    

    

"I understand."    

    

"It's good that you know."    

    

Du Kang sighed.    

    

"Don't blindly think about it. There's no need to follow other people's thoughts. Even if you have the ability now, you still have ways to earn money. If you want to live, just follow your own way of thinking. No matter what the method of living is, it's fine as long as you can say that you won't regret living your entire life when you're old."    

    

"I understand."    

    

Na nodded her head heavily.    

    

"Ah, that's right."    

    

Du Kang seemed to have thought of something and took out a small bag from his pocket.    

    

"This is what your mother asked me to bring to you. It should be cold already... but it can still be eaten when it's hot."    

    

"Un."    

    

Water stains slid down Rena's face.    

    

"I got it."    

    

————————    

    

In the city of Yalno, the French soldiers were celebrating yet another victory.    

    

Although the defense of Yalno was not comparable to any large city, it was still much sturdier than those small fortresses. Even if their "Holy Maiden" smashed a few times, it still could not break through the city gates of Yalno - this was also the reason why the French chose to attack the city normally.    

    

Originally, the French soldiers thought that attacking the city normally would be more strenuous, but it was the truth. Although they quickly built scaling ladders and even set up fire cannons to hit the city walls, under the cover of the arrows and cannons from the English Army, the British had the advantage of looking down from above. They had no way to quickly take down the city.    

    

Even their "Holy Maiden" was shot.    

    

But the situation changed immediately after Holy Maiden was shot because that shot did not hurt Holy Maiden at all. The stone cannon, which could even break the city wall, hit her head. She was not injured, which scared the British on the city wall that they thought they were fighting with God. They all knelt down and prayed, hoping to live.    

    

After a quarter of an hour, all of Yalno City's people gave up resisting.    

    

Although they were still surprised by the miracle "Holy Maiden" had shown, the French soldiers were only surprised. After all, Holy Maiden had shown too many miracles. They were not surprised.    

    

"Holy Maiden is actually an angel sent by God to the mortal world. No one can match her."    

    

This was a rumor that had been circulating among the soldiers recently.    

    

The reputation of a hundred victories and the courage of a valiant army, 'Holy Maiden' had already won the unanimous support of the soldiers. As for the fact that the other party was a woman, that was a problem. Faced with this kind of power, who would care about the other party's gender?    

    

Only strength is the most realistic thing.    

    

It was said that there were already fanatical worshippers who privately treated "Holy Maiden" as an angel second only to God and even set up an altar to write scriptures. But without real evidence, no one dared to confirm this matter.    

    

But at least "Holy Maiden" words were absolutely correct in their eyes.    

    

For example...    

    

"Who asked you to lay your hands on the captives?"    

    

Na, who had returned with a bundle in her arms, frowned.    

    

In front of her, a French soldier was pressing down on the body of a British soldier, preparing to cut him down.    

    

"Let go."    

    

"Yes! Sir!"    

    

Not only were the soldiers not discouraged, they were actually somewhat happy.    

    

After all, it depended on luck to have a conversation with Holy Maiden.    

    

As for the captives... Who cared?    

    

He only knew that "Holy Maiden" indeed had the justice and compassion of an angel. She was not even willing to kill the captives.    

    

"Get lost!"    

    

The French soldier kicked the British soldier's butt.    

    

"The Lord has spoken! You can scram..."    

    

"Who told you to let him go?"    

    

Na gave the soldier a surprised look.    

    

"If you let him go now, won't he take revenge on you next time? What I mean is to bring him back directly. There are plenty of places for him to work."    

    

"Yes! Sir!"    

    

The French soldier nodded.    

    

Indeed, he was wrong. Holy Maiden wanted the captives to work. This idea of not wasting labor represented the wisdom of angels and care for the French people.    

    

In short, "Holy Maiden" definitely would not be wrong.    

    

"You... Forget it."    

    

Although she felt that something was not right, the worry in her heart made Na ignore this small matter.    

    

"Pass on my order. Repair for a day and continue fighting tomorrow."    

    

"Strive to break into Lance in July."
