Cthulhu Fantasy : I Am The Great Old One

2In the camp outside Lance, Baron Laval was pouring the last drop of wine into his throat.    0

    

Today was the day of Crown Prince Charlie's coronation, and it was also the day the soldiers at the front line would be rewarded. As the logistics supervisor of the entire army, Baron Laval undoubtedly wanted to go, but he did not want to go no matter what.    

    

It was because he knew what was hidden behind this grand celebration.    

    

It was because he could see that it was more painful.    

    

Therefore, it was better to get drunk.    

    

At least in his dreams, there would not be those sinister schemes or shameless schemes.    

    

In the dream, he could at least be a real hero.    

    

"Alright, stop drinking."    

    

He grabbed the cup in Baron Laval's hand with one hand.    

    

"How long have you been drinking this? If he drank more, the entire Lance City is not enough for you to drink..."    

    

"How is that possible." Baron Laval shook his head. "I just drank too much... Uh, sir, you're back?"    

    

"I am back."    

    

Letting Na put down her wine glass and helplessly looked at Baron Laval, who was reeking of alcohol.    

    

"I'm just going to deal with the situation. You two don't need to be so disheartened, right? Duke Allen drinks, General Rahel drinks, you're still drinking here... Can't anyone not drink?"    

    

"No."    

    

Baron Laval pulled out an ugly smile.    

    

"The more you understand, the more you like wine... Ah, right, my lord. What's the result this time?"    

    

"The result was pretty good." Na thought for a bit, "Weapons... Food, and armor... The France Kingdom will continue to provide them. What we need to do is to acknowledge Charlie the Seventh's sovereignty... It's no big deal. He was the Crown Prince of France to begin with. Whether he succeeded or not, he had the right to rule. There's no difference."    

    

"I see..."    

    

Baron Laval's breath reeked of alcohol.    

    

"What else? He didn't give you the title of 'expensive'... Ah, he will definitely make you a noble. I know Charlie's means too well. "    

    

" He did, but I don't want it. " Luna shook her head. "I only asked the royal family to waive the taxes on my hometown. That's all... in the end, when old people come from afar, I still have to give them face. "    

    

"'face'?"    

    

Although he was somewhat puzzled, Baron Laval still understood the meaning of this word.    

    

"Indeed, on the surface, you have to at least maintain a bright appearance... Oh right, is there more?"    

    

"There's more..."    

    

When Na saw Baron Laval's expression, she was unable to say anything for a moment.    

    

"What else? Let's talk about it together."    

    

Baron Laval shook his head indifferently.    

    

"Anyway, it has already come to this point. No matter what it is..."    

    

"You have been appointed as the marshal."    

    

Baron Laval was stunned for a moment.    

    

"Sir, what did you say?"    

    

"I said, you have been appointed as the marshal."    

    

Letting Na hesitate for a moment before continuing.    

    

"You are already the commander of this army, personally appointed by the King. I too... "    

    

" My lord, don't say anymore "    

    

Baron Laval closed his eyes in pain.    

    

"I know..."    

    

There were no two days in the world, and there were no two masters in the country. It was impossible for an army to have two final decision-makers of equal status. And the current plan was undoubtedly that Charlie the Seventh who had just inherited the throne.    

    

Of course, the plan itself wasn't brilliant, and it even seemed a little crude. As long as he did not choose to betray them and instead chose to work from both sides, this method of using his position as bait would not have any effect at all.    

    

However, Baron Laval saw something else from it.    

    

"I have been exposed..."    

    

Baron Laval smiled bitterly.    

    

Although Baron Laval was only in charge of the logistics of the front line, only a few people knew that Baron Laval had already become the decision-maker of the front line and had started to fight on the battlefield. And now...    

    

He had been exposed.    

    

The French royal family must have known something, which was why he had turned from being in charge of logistics to the marshal of France. This extremely targeted arrangement did not seem to have been made up at all.    

    

Rather than saying that it was a reward, it would be more accurate to say that it was a threat.    

    

"I know everything about you."    

    

This was what this threat conveyed.    

    

Blood was dripping.    

    

"F * ck..."    

    

Baron Laval couldn't help but curse.    

    

"Anyway, I shouldn't call you Baron Laval anymore. I should call you Marshal Giles instead."    

    

Na forced a smile.    

    

"Don't mind it. I'm promoted. It's not a bad thing... General Giles does sound more imposing than Baron Laval. What do you think?"    

    

"I think... what else can I do?"    

    

Baron Laval couldn't even laugh this time.    

    

"Master, we have reached this point. There is no point in staying here any longer. Master, run. Charlie the Seventh will not let us go. So run, we have already... "    

    

"Not to that extent. Don't be so pessimistic." Letting Na shake her head, "We will continue to attack Paris and reclaim all the lost lands in France. Escape? Why flee?"    

    

" Why should we attack Paris? Why did you reclaim France's lost land?"    

    

Baron Laval looked puzzled.    

    

"Charlie the Seventh treated us this way. Why should we work for him? At most, we can just quit. Where can we go and not live better? Why should we die here? Charlie the Seventh, what right does he have... "    

    

" We are not fighting for someone. "    

    

Luna shook her head with a serious expression.    

    

"We are fighting for the whole of France. We are fighting for everyone in France. We are fighting for the sake that they will not be separated from their families because of war, and for the sake of their survival, that is the goal of our battle. "    

    

"My lord, it would be best not to"    

    

Baron Laval sighed.    

    

"You can be anything, but you must not be a hero. I have seen many heroes. Their slogan was so loud that it could shake the sky. In the end, they would all die a light death. So please don't... "    

    

" I know. "    

    

"Baron Laval sighed and said, "You know... you know?"    

    

Baron Laval was stunned.    

    

"Yes, I know."    

    

Rena nodded.    

    

"I know that the path I chose is not easy to walk, and there is almost no future for me, but I still want to continue on this path. Not only for others, but also for my own life. "    

    

"You... I understand, my lord."    

    

That's right, this is a saint who lives in the mortal world, why would he care about the choices he gives to humiliate himself?    

    

So...    

    

Since the Saint was unwilling to do these shady things, then he would do it.    

    

Facing the strong woman in front of him, Baron Laval knelt down on one knee.    

    

"Please accept my loyalty."
