Extra Episode 2: Carol's Entrustment

"Alan."

Deng Jiaer on the side poked me with his elbow.

"Why?" I asked.

Deng Jiaer raised his chin towards the front: "Why are you looking at your left wrist again, sir?"

I look forward.

After moving my eyes to the front, I saw my brother was wearing the handsome white and blue armor given to him by the emperor, riding on a horse, standing in front of Deng Jiaer and me, raising his left wrist When he reached his chest, he lowered his head slightly and looked at his left wrist.

The three of us are now in a valley in the Britannia Empire, trying to ambush the main force of the 30,000 peasant rebel army-a 15,000 army led by a man named Anton.

A while ago, my brother took over the task of defeating 30,000 rebels with 5,000 people. I was worried about my brother's safety, so I pestered him to death and asked him to take me with him.

With me, there is also Deng Jiaer who dreams of becoming a famous general and wants to experience more of what it feels like to be in the army.

Looking at my brother who was looking down at his left wrist, I couldn't help but chuckle, and then said to Deng Jiaer who was beside me:

"It's not his left wrist, he's looking at the bracelet on his left hand."

"Bracelet?"

There was a sudden realization on Deng Jiaer's face.

"It's the one that Kellor gave to Mr. before the expedition, the one that Kellor has been wearing before."

I clamped the horse's belly and drove the horse towards my brother.

"Brother." I said, "how is your horsemanship doing now?"

After hearing my words, my brother lowered his left wrist with a wry smile on his face.

"So-so, I can finally sit on the horse, and I can barely control the horse to trot. Alas, I don't have such talent as you."

I looked at the bracelet my brother was wearing on his left hand, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Brother, are you thinking about Carol?"

"Yeah, I really miss Carol—"

After all, my brother gave me a mocking smile.

"--the food you cook, the military rations are so unpalatable."

I made a face at my brother.

Looking at my brother who was smiling mockingly at me, I couldn't help but think of the quarrel with my brother a while ago.

...

The night after my brother took over the task, my brother and I had a big fight.

My brother and I have always had a good relationship. If we talk about the relationship between brother and sister, I don't think my brother and I will lose to any pair of brothers and sisters in this world.

But the relationship is very good, it does not mean that my brother and I will not quarrel.

From the time I met my brother 3 years ago to now, I can't remember how many times I have quarreled with my brother.

It's just that, although my brother and I quarreled quite a lot, most of them were just small fights, and there were very few times when we quarreled particularly fiercely.

And that night, my brother and I had a very rare big fight.

That night, my brother suddenly broke into my room with Deng Jiaer and said that he had accepted a mission: command 5,000 people to deal with 30,000 rebels.

At that time, I wondered if my brother's brain was broken. How could you, a person who has never even joined the army, command 5,000 people? And use these 5,000 people to deal with 30,000 people.

Therefore, my brother and I had a big fight because of this.

I asked my brother to turn down the task. But my brother insisted on his own opinion and must do it.

I still remember the content of my quarrel with my brother that night clearly. At that time, my brother said something very excessive to me, which made me cry, but my brother apologized soon.

I spent a lot of effort, but I couldn't make my brother change his mind, so I decided to bring in a rescuer to help me persuade him.

I decided to pull in Carol to help me.

So I said to my brother: If Carol agrees with you to do it, then I agree.

I have also been with Kailuoer for 2 years, so I am quite clear about Kailuoer's temper.

Carol likes and yearns for an ordinary life the most, and she is also very satisfied with this ordinary life now.

At the same time, Kelor also values ​​his companions the most.

Therefore, in order to continue to live this ordinary and happy life and protect her companions, Kai Luoer would never agree with her brother to do such a dangerous thing! ——This is what I thought at the time.

However, looking back carefully now, I find that I still know too little about Kelor...

After Keroll came back, after I told her that my brother had taken on this dangerous mission, I thought her reaction must be the same as mine when I heard about it—annoyed to argue with my brother, Let my brother push this task.

But I didn't expect that after hearing this, Kai Luoer just smiled, and then said something that I have never forgotten: "Let him do it, he has his dream, I will Supporting him behind his back."

...I thought I knew Kyloel very well, but I was so stupid.

Since I also made a promise to my brother at the time, if Kailor agrees, then I agree too.

Now that Carol has agreed to my brother to do this task, then I can only fulfill my promise and agree to my brother to do this task.

However, I was still not at ease with my brother, so I was soft on my brother and asked him to take me with him.

And Deng Jiaer and I also used the "soft and hard" tactics against my brother.

The reason why I want to go with my brother is because I am confident in my fighting ability and want to protect my brother.

And Deng Jiaer is to be able to experience more the feeling of being in the army, and also help me protect my brother by the way.

It's just that Deng Jiaer's combat ability is only slightly better than ordinary people. I don't expect Deng Jiaer to be able to protect my brother well, it is enough for her to protect herself.

Afterwards, under Deng Jiaer and I's hard work, my brother finally agreed to let Deng Jiaer and I go with him.

Generally speaking, only knights can bring 2 knight retinues to the battlefield together. My brother is not a knight, so he should not be qualified to bring 2 knight retinues with him. 2 knights are accompanying them.

Deng Jiaer and I participated in this anti-insurgency campaign with him as his brother's knight entourage this time, but because of the limited number of places, and because Kailuoer felt that he could not help much, Kailuoer did not go with him this time. .

...

I looked at the bracelet my brother now wore on his left wrist.

It was the bracelet that Kailuoer gave to his brother, saying that it could be used as a talisman.

Looking at this bracelet, I couldn't help but recall what Kellor had entrusted to me the night before the expedition.

...

On the night before the expedition, Carol found me.

When I just finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom with warm heat all over my body, Kai Luoer suddenly stopped me.

At that time, Carol was also dressed as if she was going to bed, wearing pajamas and bare feet.

"Alan, you're leaving tomorrow. Right?" Carol said to me.

I nodded.

Afterwards, Carol stopped talking.

I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but Carol’s appearance at that time seemed to be a bit awkward, hesitant to speak

After a while, Carol continued:

"Alan, can I ask you something?"

"Ah, tell me." I said quickly.

"Although I say this, it may sound like a strong person. But, Alan, please protect Su Cheng and Deng Jiaer. You must, must come back safely."

After listening to Carol's words, I couldn't help being taken aback.

Kailor usually doesn't like to talk very much, and usually has very little expression, and has always looked calm and breezy.

At this time, Kailor put his hands in front of him, his fingers were tightly twisted together, his lips were pursed tightly, and his face was full of worry.

And in this thick worried look, there is also an emotion called "fear" in it.

It was only then that I remembered that among the four of us, the one who values ​​our companions the most is Carol!

Although she expressed support for her brother to do this dangerous task, after all, this is a task that is likely to lose one's life. How could she not be worried or afraid?

So, I said to Kai Luoer in a very firm tone at that time:

"Don't worry, Kai Luoer, you don't have to worry. I will definitely bring my brother and Deng Jiaer back safely. Even if thousands of troops surround us, I will bring them two out safely! I promise you that!"

After hearing what I said, the worry on Kairoll's face dissipated a little, showing a faint smile, but then she said:

"Ah, by the way, Alan, don't tell Cheng and Deng Jiaer what I told you tonight—especially Cheng."

"Huh? Why?" I couldn't help but wonder.

"because……"

Carol scratched at the hair hanging from her temples. Because it was too dark around, I couldn't see clearly at the time, but I could barely see that Carol's cheeks were a little red.

"Being known by him, I am actually very worried about him. I am afraid that it will interfere with his completion of this task... And... if he knows that I am worried about him... I feel a little... shy..."

Looking at the shy Kailor in front of me, I really want to laugh.

But I desperately held back my laughter, because I felt that if I laughed now, I would definitely be beaten by Kyloel.

After finally suppressing my smile, I smiled and said:

"Well, I promise you. I'll do my best not to tell my brother..."

I don’t know when, I felt that Carol had unusual feelings for his brother, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

So, I showed a weird smile and said to Kai Luoer: "Kai Luoer, why are you so worried about my brother? You can't be..."

"Hey, long-winded! I'm going to sleep!"

Before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by Kailuoer, and then Kailuoer walked towards the sofa in the hall without looking back.

"Kai Luoer is so cute..." I looked at Kai Luoer's leaving back and murmured with a smile, "I am worried whether the person I like will be in danger, and whether the person I like will know that she is worried he……"

...

What happened on the night when I took over the mission and what happened the night before the expedition, fragments of memories about these two nights flooded into my heart together.

When I think of the gesture and the content of what Carol told me the night before the expedition, I can't help but want to laugh.

I can already feel that the corners of my mouth are starting to turn up.

"Brother," I turned my head to look at my elder brother, "it's a pity that I can't tell you what happened the night before the expedition."

Then, I added: "Carol is really a lovely person."

"Huh?" My brother looked at me suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

At this moment, a messenger rushed to his brother's side.

"General! The rebel outpost has arrived!"

It seems that the battle is about to start.

Don't worry, Kai Luoer, I will not live up to your entrustment, I will definitely, definitely bring Su Cheng and Deng Jiaer back safely!

As I thought about it, I clenched my fists quietly.

Infinite fighting spirit has begun to burn in my heart.
