Chapter 90: No Regrets

  However, things are hard to predict, Liu Yu secretly calculated Ivan, originally planning that the two of them would grasp certain rights in their respective families before saying anything. He didn't think about letting the Balrog family play a role when Gai and Cain competed for the throne.

  At that time, he and Ivan were both young, even if they had exceptional talent and strength, in their respective families, they would not have much substantial power. For matters concerning the entire family, at most, they could only make suggestions and play a supporting role, and it was difficult to play a decisive role.

  So initially, Liu Yu estimated that when the Cro-Wang abdicated, a small family like the Balagu family should be cautious and would not easily take sides among several major families. They would wait until everything was settled before making a move. At that time, even if Ivan wanted to help, he couldn't influence the decisions of the Balagu family head and Marlan and those elders.

  But Liu Yu never thought that the Balrog family would also have a capable person, who would resolutely request to form an alliance with the Weilin family at a time when everything was still undecided, openly choosing their own position. These were all things outside of Liu Yu's plan and completely disrupted his calculations, causing his original arrangements to lose their effect.

  So today Ivan came to comfort him, which made Liu Yu feel a little ashamed. Ivan, this silly kid, really treated himself as a friend. But he was thinking of using the friendship between friends for his own purposes in secret, and when compared with each other, Liu Yu felt very strange.

  "What have I gotten myself into!" With a bitter smile, Liu Yu put away the inherited treasure and walked down the mountain with large strides. For now, Liu Yu couldn't give himself a satisfactory answer to this matter, he could only put it aside for the time being, after all, he was very busy every day.

  Last time, Liu Yu broke through the late stage of a 5th rank magic guide in the secret room where he was secretly cultivating with the Weilin family. After returning to the military camp for nearly three months, Liu Yu practiced every day without relaxing for a single day, and his cultivation had further reached the peak of the late stage of a 5th rank magic guide. Liu Yu estimated that if the Military Affairs Office waited a few more months to appoint an officer, he would be unstoppable.

  At night, under the city wall of Emars Fortress, there are many stone houses built with bluestone. These stone houses were built by the beast tribe after occupying the fortress, and they spent a lot of effort to build military barracks. In places where troops need to be stationed for a long time, it is no longer necessary to let soldiers live in tents. After all, the highlands have a cold winter, and living in tents is very cold. These bluestone houses are simple but much warmer, and it's also convenient to build a fireplace or something.

  "A new official has taken office! We should at least make a show of it." Not long after nightfall, such words were spoken in a bluestone hut at the foot of the pass. The walls of this barrack's bluestones were more than half a foot thick, and the barrack was over ten meters long and four or five meters wide. Inside, there was a simple large bed and a long stone table, a long wooden bench.

  At this moment, Liu Yu and Ivan were sitting on the kang, smiling at Di Qing who had just officially become a member of their Huo Huo Wei. The other seven Bi Meng warriors in the room also sat on the kang, teasing Liu Yu and Ivan along with them.

  "Digou, bring out the hidden food, especially that wine we've all been craving for a long time!" Nali shouted first, followed by the other two new recruits and the four old soldiers who were temporarily assigned. Because Nali was Fadi's cousin, Liu Yu, Yifan, Digou and the others usually took good care of this kid, so he had to be careful with his words.

  "Hah, Ivan, look at this kid, he's just like Fadi, greedy for food and drink!" Liu Yu laughed upon hearing Nali's words and said to Ivan beside him, who nodded in deep agreement.

  "Alright, alright, stop shouting. The night patrol officer will come to bother us soon. I'll go get the stuff, and you're not allowed to hide anything either, bring out everything you've hidden. Tonight, let's celebrate." Di Geng, who was originally smiling and sitting on a wooden chair, finally couldn't withstand everyone's requests and went to his small compartment to fetch things.

  "Alright, everyone bring out something." Seeing Di Qing go get things, Liu Yu also called out to everyone, hinting at the other soldiers to also bring out some food.

  The whole fire except Di Geng, it was he and Ivan two golden Bimon positions highest, while the Balagu family is now a vassal of the Weilin family, so Ivan naturally gave in to Liu Yu everywhere. So usually when Di Geng didn't care about things, Liu Yu became his deputy and took care of them for him.

  In one corner of the barracks, there was a small stone cabinet that was completely open. The cabinet was divided into ten small compartments, each for one soldier, which served as their meager private space. The low-quality wine and food that the soldiers secretly obtained were all stored here.

  Di Qing and Liu Yu both brought some wine, bread, roasted meat and other things when they came this time. Liu Yu was not very interested in these things, as soon as he arrived at the military camp, he distributed them to his comrades, but Di Qing only gave out half of them and secretly hid a little bit.

  However, all this did not escape Nari's little boy, Liu Yu knew that he had been thinking about Diguo's collection. Emalbon Fort was different from the previous Fourth Division base, and there were no beast tribes in the surrounding hundreds of miles, and the wolf tribe warriors in the mixed brigade could not get wine.

  The harsh climate of the Cordillera Plateau has made it a habit for almost all beast tribe warriors to drink wine to keep warm. Therefore, in the garrison's Bimon and Wolf tribes, wine is even more precious.

  "Nari, come with me to fetch some firewood and make the fireplace warmer." Liu Yu took out a small piece of leftover black bread and roasted meat from his own little compartment, feeling that what he had taken was too little, so he thought of doing something to make up for it, and Nari, who had also taken very little, was chosen by him.

  "Ah, why me?" Nari muttered in dismay.

  "Look at what you've got, it's not even as big as two fists put together. What's the point of making a fuss?" Liu Yu glared at Nali and scolded him. He wasn't being unfair to Nali, this little guy had one hand holding a blackish-brown bread and the other hand holding a small piece of roasted meat, apart from Liu Yu who would finish everything every meal, this little guy was taking the least amount.

  "Oh" With that, Liu Yu glared at him, and Nari immediately softened up and followed Liu Yu out of the barracks. Normally, among those closest to Nari in the fire was Liu Yu, and he was also the one Nari feared the most.

  "Come, come, come, let's wish our Lord Huo Wei a step up." A moment later, Liu Yu, Di Geng and the other ten warriors, surrounded by the stone house corner wall furnace, each with a small wooden cup of wine and a bit of food, raised their cups together and ate with relish.

  After having a good time eating and drinking, Liu Yu and the others cleaned up everything they had collected, chatted casually for a while, and then went to bed with full bellies.

  "Hū" Liu Yu let out a light breath and slowly sat up from the stone bed, not knowing what habit it was, but Liu Yu liked to sleep on the sides when sleeping on a shared bed rather than in the middle.

  It was already late at night, and all ten of the Bi Mon warriors except for Liu Yu were asleep. After drinking some poor-quality wheat wine, Liu Yu fell into a daze and then woke up again, using the faint moonlight to glance over at his comrades who were sleeping in a row, with Nari, who was sleeping next to him, still mumbling unclearly in his sleep.

  Yu Yu had an interesting look on his face, leaning down to listen to what the young man was saying, but unfortunately, his waist was a bit sore from bending over and he couldn't quite make out what he was saying. With a helpless smile, Liu Yu leaned back against the stone wall behind him.

  Looking at the comrades sleeping beside him, Liu Yu's heart suddenly warmed up, remembering when Tugela and Fadi died in battle, Di Qing and the others were still in the infirmary, and he was alone in his military tent, that kind of desolate feeling. Now the presence of these comrades really made him feel warm.

  As he looked to one side along the Nari, the figure sleeping at the other end of the bed made Liu Yu's heart move slightly. It was Ivan. Suddenly, Liu Yu had a strange thought in his mind. If the Berlagu family finally chose another big family, what would be the relationship between him and Ivan? Would they be enemies? Would he hurt this silly little boy?

  "Ivan Bragin, we are friends, I won't do anything to harm you. A man in the world is not free, I wanted to pull you over to the Weilin family's side, but it was just a calculation and didn't think about dealing with you." Liu Yu whispered to himself after a long silence, looking at Ivan's sleeping figure.

  "As long as I have a clear conscience."

  Welcome to vote for recommendations, your support is Liu Yu's greatest motivation to become stronger.
