Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first? Chapter 330 - 330 128 Fall

330: Chapter 128: Fall 330: Chapter 128: Fall After Christmas, the trenches outside the city finally fell completely.

A large number of civilians were evacuated to the inner city, which used to be the Quarantine Zone, while the outer city was occupied by the militia, and the previously constructed street barricades were now fitted with gun ports, equipped with corresponding weapons.

Everyone was waiting for the Wolf Family to besiege the city, but their assault didn’t co for a long ti.

It seed they were waiting for a certain mont.

Late this night on Fire Island, Peggy was writing in her diary when the “Blood Word Diary” suddenly flipped open without wind.

“Aske!” She clutched the diary and rushed into Aske’s bedroom, pushing him awake, “The master said that the Wolf Family has borrowed truck-mounted rocket launchers from the Church Court!”

Rocket launchers…

Aske was simply dumbfounded.

Saturate the ground with cannon fire?

He quickly left Fire Island with Peggy.

The two teleported back to reality and heard piercing screams coming from outside the window.

dea, who was responsible for keeping the books today, sat up in bed, stunned by the loud noise outside.

“Go back.” Aske was succinct.

dea humd in agreent and imdiately teleported back to Fire Island.

The two rushed out of the inn and saw chaotic crowds running outside.

Streaks resembling teors crossed the night sky, causing flas and explosions everywhere in the city.

“Let’s go!” Aske said.

“Where to?” Peggy asked.

“Find Alfred.” Aske said.

As the saying goes, a sly rabbit has three burrows, and Aske didn’t believe for a second that Alfred, with a history of escaping, hadn’t arranged a way out.

Sure enough, on the street approaching the military camp, they saw Alfred hurrying towards the direction of the Yin River with his subordinates.

The Yin River, originating from the Alps, runs from west to east through the northern city area of Innsbruck.

When they reached the city wall, they saw Alfred ordering the river gate to be lifted.

“Aske?” Alfred was first startled to see the newcors, then imdiately said seriously, “I am carrying out a secret mission under the orders of the Earl of Innsbruck.”

“That’s convenient,” Aske said with a smile, “I also received the Earl’s orders to leave the city for a secret mission.”

“Are you two carrying out the sa mission?” Peggy wondered.

“Of course not,” said Aske, tapping her on the head to signal her to keep quiet, “Well then, Lord Alfred, let’s leave the city together.”

“Fine,” Alfred, naturally not wanting to make a fuss at this point, gave a knowing smile and waved in the direction of the river.

As the river gate was lifted, from upstream, Alfred’s n brought a small boat (sampan), and everyone hurriedly jumped on board, then using a push from the shore, they propelled the boat through the river gate.

The river segnt leaving the city was surprisingly safe.

Due to the trenches spread outside the city, the soldiers of the Wolf Family were either defending the rocket launcher positions to guard against a counterstrike from the city forces or patrolling the trenches.

Alfred’s n pulled up the canvas on the boat, covering the entire surface while leaving just a slit open.

Everyone lay down at the bottom of the boat, hidden, pretending it was a boat that had been forgotten to be tied and left to float downstream.

The city they left behind gradually turned into a sea of fire.

“The exterior of the boat is wrapped with rubber tires for collision protection, but we still need to be wary of the possibility of running aground on the shore,” Alfred thought anxiously as he watched outside.

“Drifting from here to the Alpbach Valley, then heading northwest through the Ahengkixi Mountain Area, we can make our way back to Mingxing City,” Aske considered calmly from outside.

“All in all, the defense of Innsbruck can be deed to have achieved its goal.

Not only did we successfully delay the fall of the city to the end of the year, but the young won also adapted to the pace of firearms warfare ahead of ti.

Consider it a drill for the even more brutal wars to co.”

“Ah, ah, ah, I’m stuck to the squad leader!

Our arms are stuck together!

I’m gonna die!” Peggy’s gaze drifted off into the distance as she thought this, feeling like her cheeks might burst into flas.

This fine vessel just drifted all night, and the other Transcendents couldn’t hold up and went to sleep.

Only Alfred stayed awake.

Because if the boat were washed ashore and ran aground by the river, they would be in danger of being found by the Wolf Family at dawn; thus, he had to keep vigil over the drifting direction of the vessel at all tis.

Then he saw Aske had also fallen asleep in Peggy’s arms.

Alfred: ……….

Should I also recruit a female rcenary as a subordinate?

He started to ponder seriously.

She doesn’t need to be strong or high-level, just pretty and shapely is fine, comfortable to sleep on, and a treat for the eyes when I wake up…

Actually, he had misjudged Aske this ti because Aske had originally been sleeping on the deck, and after he fell asleep, Peggy quietly slipped her arm under his neck as a pillow, intending to make him more comfortable.

And so, as she slept, she had pulled him into her embrace.

“Hey, young lady,” Alfred called out to her.

“What do you want?” Peggy’s response was sowhat cold.

“You like your squad leader, don’t you?” Alfred asked.

Peggy: !!!

Under normal circumstances, she would have blushed and retorted angrily.

But after a session of “guidance” from Agrippina, the current Peggy understood that being shy would only lead to losing the initiative.

So she simply flicked her hair nonchalantly and replied in a casual tone:

“So what if I do?

What if I don’t?”

“If you do,” Alfred continued, “you’ve got a hard future ahead of you.”

“What do you an?” Peggy felt a bit irritated.

“dea, that woman, that’s her na, right?” Alfred said as though offhandedly, “Have you heard this saying?

‘In a situation where violence is forbidden, a Mind Mage is invincible.'”

“It’s not the strength of the Extraordinary Ability that determines victory,” Peggy said.

“It’s his own views,” Alfred finished, “Unfortunately, I can tell he always treats you like a child.”

Peggy: ……….

That hit ho, it hurt a bit.

“People change,” Peggy spoke up, “The older n get, the more they tend to prefer being with younger won.”

“That’s provided they haven’t been brainwashed by a Mind Mage first,” Alfred chuckled.

“Have you always been this irritating?” Peggy finally could not hold back her anger, “With that attitude, how do you ever find a girlfriend?”

Alfred: ……….

Suffering a direct hit, Alfred lay powerlessly on the deck, staring blankly at the canvas overhead.

I, well, it’s not that I can’t find a woman, I just don’t want to.

I’m only in my early thirties, I’m still young among the Transcendents.

Of course, I need to prioritize my career right now.

If I really wanted to find a woman, where could I not find one?

Just a snap of my fingers would bring a bunch of young won rushing to apply.

Watching Peggy holding Aske, with her face full of the blissful look of a woman in love, Alfred couldn’t help but feel an indescribable sourness well up inside him.

When I get back, I’m definitely going to recruit a female Transcendent as a subordinate.
