Chapter 288 Desire

Parry saw the woman while checking the wounded and sick.

There are not many women in the city of Niustria, and most of the civilians here have left. Most of the remaining women are the families of those merchants - the one who provides military supplies -. Of course, there is another one, that is, prostitutes.

But Parry is sure that the woman in front of him is not. Because according to an obvious fact: women who make money in a group of Qiuba are not great beauties. In the military camp environment, women cannot sell at high prices - soldiers don't have that much money, and the number of senior officers is very limited.

When Pari saw her, the woman was chopping grass. This was a very common job. In order to keep the horse healthy and energetic, the grass needed to be chopped into pieces. She wore a light-colored sleeveless shirt on the upper body and a blue skirt with multiple patches on the lower body. She was doing her work seriously and used her hands to wipe the sweat from her forehead from time to time.

Parry stood there stupidly, like a puppet, not moving for a long time - not even blinking his eyelids.

That woman is really...so beautiful.

There are many kinds of beauties in this world, at least Parry believes that he has seen countless people - he comes from a famous family, and when it comes to women, he has some confidence in his vision. But this woman is beyond his common sense.

In fact, the woman's face was nothing special. Her eyes were eyes, and her nose was nose, and nothing else was created. But I don't know what happened. Although she clearly separated her facial features could only be considered "ordinary" but when combined together, she had an inexplicable attraction, which attracted the man's gaze to her body and could never move it away.

She was wearing only very ordinary clothes for women (just like the work she did), but she unconsciously showed her figure in conjunction with her grass chopping action. Pari had seen a woman with an angry figure, but she had not seen such a perfect, convex, and so convex and convex saliva.

She is not beautiful, but can charm people. She is not sexy, but directly arouses your desire to commit crime.

This was not a personal illusion or fantasy of Parry. In fact, the same was true with the followers around him. The few of them stood at a distance of not far or near, staring at the woman cutting grass.

The woman did not notice it - perhaps because she discovered it but didn't care. It can be imagined that such a woman had long been used to men's disobedience. She slowly completed the work in her hands and left with a large basket of chopped grass.

It was not until her back disappeared that several people came to their senses.

Because several people lost their composure at the same time, they were not embarrassed by each other. Parry looked at several followers and coughed softly.

"Well... who have you ever seen that woman?"

The followers exchanged gazes with each other, and then shook their heads. It was obvious that it was the first time they saw this woman.

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

"New... Have you ever been new? The plague that broke out before... I remember scaring away many people."

"Oh, Master, the greed of merchants is endless, and it will even surpass their fear of death." The servant replied. "I have seen new caravans entering the city these days, bringing some new goods..."

"goods?"

"Some cured flavors, wine, tobacco, spices, and so on." Another follower replied. "I saw several merchants selling weapons and armor coming into the city yesterday." He suddenly thought of something. "General, I think this woman... is not normal. Could it be a Chaos believer..."

"Nonsense, I just found out that a Chaos believer was involved in the army, and the church sent people everywhere to investigate! How could the spies from the Chaos Legion get in under such circumstances?" Another person retorted.

"Is that right..." Pari looked at the woman's direction away reluctantly. "You guys, help me check the identity of this woman."

Several subordinates took the order and left.

To be honest, several of Parry's entourages acted quickly. One of the important reasons is that they were very familiar with the city of Neustria. This was where General Rafa had been stationed in the back. Of course, now Rafa has gone to the rear to "retreat", and the city has also had a large cover for the war. However, they still have an intelligence advantage that outsiders do not have. When Parry returned to his residence, he didn't even sit on a chair, and his subordinates sent the news.

"It's the daughter of the tobacco businessman..." Pari said with some emotion. On the surface, he was feeling, but in fact he was savoring the fascinating stunning just now. It was not an ordinary face, and it was not an exaggeration to call him a peerless beauty.

"Yes, her father is an ordinary person, but I don't know what happened, and gave birth to a beautiful daughter." The subordinates were really feeling. Due to Parry's order, he not only met the girl again, but also met her father - the tobacco merchant. The two people really didn't seem to be related by blood. But this is unquestionable, because there are still several people in the caravan that can prove that they are indeed father and daughter. "Maybe it's because they inherited their mother's appearance."

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

"No! Not to mention getting married, there is not even getting engaged!"

"Oh, it doesn't look like it. Isn't anyone proposed marriage?" Although the common people would get married a little later than the nobles, how could a girl with such a beautiful face lack a suitor?

"It is said that it is because of her father. The tobacco businessman didn't want to marry his daughter to anyone casually. He hoped that his daughter could leave the ranks of civilians with her beauty, for example, marrying a big lord or something... it would be better to bring great help to his business."

"Is that true, it's really the essence of a businessman." Parry said casually, but if someone looked at him head-on, he would find that the flame in his eyes was getting stronger and stronger. "You go down first."

The servant left, and Pari sat alone in the chair. He was calm on the surface, but in fact he was thinking about the figure of the daughter of the tobacco merchant. After a while, he felt his mouth dry, so he grabbed the cup from the table and drank it all in one gulp. But after drinking the drink, he realized that he felt more thirsty. A certain desire transcended the shackles of reason, wandered violently in his mind, refusing to leave.

For many years, Parry has always believed that he would have the opportunity to become the queen's husband - or even the next king. So he is quite self-disciplined in his private life (of course, by the standards of aristocratic). Because he has strong competitors, any point in this competition is precious. He cannot destroy his future because of his temporary indulgence.

But things are impermanent. In the blink of an eye, his hope for becoming the queen's husband has become so slim that it no longer has any fantasies about it. Now he has no reason to be as self-control as he used to, right?

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

"Not going!" said Parry. "You go and reply and say I'm uncomfortable... Anyway, there will be no major actions for a while. The meeting is just informing some boring news."

The door was closed again.

"That woman..." Pari slammed the cup on the table hard and said viciously. Uncontrollable evil thoughts swelled in his heart, and even he himself did not realize that his emotions were unnatural. In this city, he was a big shot in the military power, and the tobacco merchant was just a mere outsider!

...

"The Chaos Legion did not move," said Beller, "or they were still leaving some troops to siege Gaohua City as we had previously estimated, and the rest of the troops were divided into attacks."

"Although they chose to avoid the hard bones of Gaohua City, they would not get any cheaper," Baranka replied in contemplatively. "This area... every settlement area has solid fortifications. To be honest, some places are more difficult to attack than Gaohua City - every castle is hard walnut... In some places, they are not even allowed to deploy large troops at all, and the advantage of force is difficult to play a role."

Asu Ruffat looked at Beller, "Is there any special news? There should be. Maybe they can't break through, but at least they can use the messaging scroll."

"Baron Daogen's castle was captured." Beral thought for a moment and replied. "The battle lasted for six days, and finally the Chaos Legion paved the way for attack with its corpses. In despair, the border lord first used the messaging scroll to convey the news of the battle to the Hawk City, and then detonated the gunpowder depot in the castle... He is a brave nobleman! This means that the Chaos Legion suffered huge casualties but gained nothing. If I was not wrong, such things would happen again and again. Then, the Chaos Legion would sooner or later realize that the division of troops was meaningless except for the loss of troops... in theory."

"However, from the perspective of situation, it will take at least one month to realize that this approach is wrong... They will only get the right conclusion after hitting walls everywhere. In other words, we can spend this month resting our energy and waiting patiently." Baranka suggested. That's it, his eyes were looking at Belar. Everyone saw some special information on Belar's face.

"It's so logically right." Berel said. "But I always have an ominous premonition... We know that this invading Chaos Legion includes subordinates of the four evil gods... The believer of terror, a Chaos Lord named Blood Tooth Lord is the commander of this Chaos Legion. A Chaos Lord who believes in terror may not be good at conspiracy, but the subordinates of other evil gods are not that simple. At least I think Chaos' actions will never be so simple. In fact, I personally feel that they may not use any tactical traps... because they have reason to think that we must be very cautious, but use some means that have nothing to do with combat."
