Chapter 464

Leet greedily breathed in the scent of Orson, wishing he could touch every pore of his body.

"But, Brother Orson, don't worry, Leet is a good boy and won't use this ability to harm others. I will only use it to repay Brother Orson who gave me all this~"

"Is this how you repay me? Imprison my freedom?!" Orson said coldly with a livid face.

"I think this is what you like most, Brother Orson~" As he said this, Leet lay on Orson's chest, his fingers constantly circling on Orson's chest. "After all, if you have greater ambitions, how could you be willing to train a loser who started out much worse than you to get promoted?"

"Are you questioning my judgment?"

"Hehe, of course not~" Lit quickly denied it, and then continued: "It's just that since Brother Orson has chosen the right person, you should accept this outcome calmly."

"Besides, Brother Orson said it yourself, if you can't control yourself in the future, I will take the responsibility of suppressing you."

"Of course I can't bear to suppress my dear Brother Orson, so ... This is the only way to keep you here, Brother Orson."

"A better individual will not give up the one he is interested in casually, not to mention that I love you so much..."

"That's not love, Lit..."

"What's wrong? Are you going to talk about ethics again? Father has agreed to let you leave the family and start your own business. We are not related by blood, so is love not allowed?" Lit heard Orson say this and immediately became annoyed. The movement of his hands became a little bigger, making Orson clench his brows in pain.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Lit saw the expression on Orson's face and quickly stopped the movement of his hands, and a trace of tears appeared in his eyes.

"Brother Orson, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do this. I forgot that your current body is not in a state that allows me to act like a spoiled child... I'm sorry..."

"..." Orson looked at Lit's various broken actions and sighed helplessly in his heart.

He wanted to tell himself that all this was just a dream, but he was afraid that his consciousness would travel again, just like he traveled to become Orson before Lit returned home, and he would be trapped in this devil's cave and unable to extricate himself forever.

"In that case, Brother Orson... I... will use my body to compensate you?" Litt said this, with a rare hint of charm in his tone, then raised his head, smiled at Orson, and gradually took off all his clothes.

Finally, at the moment when Litt was about to sit down, Orson's consciousness came back.

"..."

Everything in the dream was so real, until Orson woke up.

He almost thought that he was really going to have that kind of relationship with Litt.

Fortunately, all this was just a dream.

Orson held his forehead, recalled the content of the dream angrily, and sorted it out.

Generally speaking, the content of dreams is not too logical, just like this dream.

Orson himself didn't know why he was caught by Litt and imprisoned, and he couldn't use any strength to resist Litt.

But from what Litt said and his various actions, there was a full logic of action.

All this was not a whim, nor was it unreasonable.

Could it be a precognitive dream?

Orson didn't know whether dreams had the ability to predict the future, but since there was magic in this world, and Orson had even seen real gods before.

Then, it was not impossible for other gods or transcendent things to send him dreams through some methods.

"Could it be that I will really be imprisoned by Lit in the future?"

Thinking of Lit's usual performance in front of him and his correspondence with him, Orson knew that Lit would never be like in the dream.

That means that something big will happen later, stimulating Lit, and at the same time making Lit grow up quickly, having the strength to fight against him, and eventually destroying himself through some means and imprisoning himself.

In this, Orson definitely did something to hurt Lit.

But up to now, even in Orson's future plans, he has only helped Lit and never meant to harm her. Why did Lit think he would hurt her?

"..."

Perhaps, this is just a dream after all, after all, even Orson himself can't figure out the reason.

At this moment, a piece of information that Orson ignored suddenly came to his mind.

Feelings...

Could it be that Litt was jealous of me getting too close to other women, and then he kept a low profile until he had enough strength to put me under house arrest?

So, if I think from Litt's perspective, I seem to have done a lot of things that "sorry to Litt".

Whether it's being engaged to Olivia, or having a close personal relationship with Chelinina, or even the relationship with Lianka and Lena, it may become the point of Litt's emotional outburst.

It's just that Litt is too good at hiding his emotions, so Orson didn't notice it.

Thinking about it this way, Litt secretly climbed into his bed before, maybe this was a way to vent his dissatisfaction, but because he was caught by me, this way of venting dissatisfaction disappeared, and it became a demon in her heart.

In the end, it became a demon in her heart.

The more I think about it, the more likely it is!

Orson thought so and began to think about countermeasures.

It is definitely good to help Lit, the "daughter of destiny", grow up, but how to make the "daughter of destiny" not knock herself out and lock herself in the basement for life after she grows up requires careful consideration.

The first thing should be to get closer to her.

At least let Lit feel that she can get to the top through fair competition, and she doesn't have to rely on unfair means such as kidnapping to get Orson.

The second is to maintain dignity!

Let Lit feel that he can never beat Orson in his life.

Simply put, it is to pretend to be big.

This is of course quite easy at present, but at present, Orson, apart from suppressing Lit in terms of rank, can't reflect the kind of "bloodline" strength.

To make Lit convinced by himself, he must use some means to let Lit know that even if he is stronger than Orson, he may not really beat Orson, so that Lit will not dare to do it himself.

Even if he does, he can seek a position at the top in the future.

Let him be at the bottom, how aggrieved.

With this in mind, Orson hurriedly sat down at his desk and drafted a plan B to train Lit.

Of course, Lit, who was far away in the Dukedom of Naples, was not aware of what Orson had done.

At this moment, the Antica army had been camping under the city of Romulus for a week, and even the main force had arrived at the city three days ago.

However, the city of Romulus was high and deep, and the Antica army had not figured out how to attack the city for a while, so they could only besiege the city.

If they attacked Romulus by force, there would undoubtedly be a huge price to pay, and it was not impossible to defeat Antica's military force for more than ten years in one battle.

Even if they took over the Dukedom of Naples at that time, it would not necessarily be of much benefit to the Dukedom of Antica. Such a risk was naturally not worth taking, so it was better to take it slowly, anyway, time was on Antica's side.

Of course, in addition to this, there was a more important reason.

"The Central Army is coming to support again?" In the central army tent, Lit heard Lucius telling him his thoughts, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Has the problem of Saint Laurent City been solved? Will the Central Army come to support now?"

According to Lucius's intelligence, not only will the Central Army come to support again, but the number of troops coming to support this time is also quite large, even exceeding the total number of Antica's troops.

In this way, the siege force instantly doubled, and immediately had the confidence to attack the city.

However, in this situation, the people in the Dukedom of Antica were not happy.

"If you come here at this time, I'm afraid the Imperial Army will want a share." Lucius's adjutant Carlyle said angrily.

"We retreated before attacking the big city of Florence. Now we have taken down Florence and are rushing back immediately after the troops are at the capital of Naples."

"Fortunately, we haven't started the siege yet, otherwise we would lose more." Litt also said angrily.

"There is no way, just give your Majesty a face." Lucius said this and sighed.

Compared to the anger or joy of the crowd, Lucius was more worried.

After all, he has been a duke for so many years, it is impossible to say that he is not sensitive to politics.

The commander sent by the imperial army this time is Scaloni, who is also a big shot in the imperial army.

The intention of pushing him out is obvious.

This is not just a matter of dividing military merits. I am afraid that someone in the royal family wants him to be the new Duke of Naples.

Chapter 109: If you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy

Sometimes the sky is just like this. Although Antica does not want the imperial army to come to support at this time, after receiving the order from Arthas, Scaloni took office as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Legion as soon as possible, and then brought 100,000 well-trained soldiers to the front line.

It can only be said that Arthas has a conscience this time, but not much.

At least he knows that he can't really come here and do nothing just to get military merits.

Bringing a hundred thousand troops, all of which are well-trained elites, at least proves that he really wants to do something.

So, on the first day of the two armies' contact, Scaloni went to visit Lucius alone.

The two chatted in the military tent about their past comrades-in-arms life until recently, and then Scaloni returned from Lucius's camp with a smile.

That is, on the second day, Lucius obediently handed over the command of the army to Scaloni.

The moment he learned the news, Lit found Lucius and wanted to ask why.

Lucius just smiled at Lit and then told his reasons.

"The other side's military strength is not weaker than ours, and there is the royal family behind us. It is our duty to do this."

Helplessly, Lit could only nod.

Fortunately, Scaloni is also a loyal man. He did not abuse the military power after getting it, and did not deliberately suppress the Antica army. On the contrary, he also reduced the areas originally responsible for the Antica army and handed them over to the Imperial Army.

Doing so is certainly for military merit, but it will also reduce the pressure on the Antica army and reduce the losses of the Antica army in disguise.

On the other hand, things were not peaceful in Romulus City.

This was the first time that Donnie got the military power from Giovanni, but his mission was not to defend the city walls.

Giovanni gave Donnie 5,000 soldiers to form a temporary inspection team in the city, responsible for the night curfew and daily security work. Once a suspicious person was found, he could be arrested directly without reporting to Giovanni.

This job seems simple, but it is actually very troublesome to implement.

There are many people to be arrested every day, but there is too little time left for himself.

At first, Donnie wanted to enforce the law impartially, interrogate the arrested people one by one, and reduce their sentences or let them go directly according to their purpose.

But later, because of the shortage of supplies in the city, many people chose to go out to ask relatives and friends for food during the ban, and they were also mistakenly imprisoned. Donnie had no choice but to order them all to be imprisoned.

In Romulus's population of hundreds of thousands, nearly 10,000 people were arrested in just a few days.

Even the cells of the prison were crowded with people. The original designer did not expect that this prison could hold so many people when designing it.

Later, the shortage of supplies spread to the prison.

The food was distributed to the soldiers, and the citizens only kept a part of the rations, and the food in the prison was even less.

At first, they could guarantee two meals a day. After a week, as more and more people were arrested, the food in the prison ran out. In the end, they could only provide one meal a day, and it was a simple bowl of oatmeal soaked in water, which was difficult to fill their stomachs.

These citizens had never been abused like this before, so they immediately rebelled in the prison, and eventually turned into a riot, which was naturally suppressed.

The population in the prison instantly decreased by one-third, and the people inside were much more peaceful, but there was still not enough food.

In desperation, Donny could only recruit some young and strong prisoners to the city wall, and the rest of them continued to stay in the prison and survived with a bowl of oatmeal soaked in water a day.

However, as the visitors could not see their relatives, various rumors began to spread in the city. The public security did not get better because of the arrests, but it was somewhat unable to suppress the citizens in the city. Some citizens began to hold secret meetings during the limited open hours and discussed taking to the streets for demonstrations.

In the end, it evolved into what it is today.

Outside the Duke's mansion, tens of thousands of Romulus citizens blocked the streets, demanding that the Duke give a reasonable explanation for the violent suppression in the prison, stop abusing the prisoners, and let them go home.

Inside the mansion, Giovanni sat in his office, looking at Donnie who stood in front of him with his head down and silent, and sneered.

Donnie thought Giovanni was dissatisfied with him, and bad memories came to his mind again. He trembled and lowered his head to admit his mistake.

But he didn't expect that Giovanni's next words were not a scolding of him.

"Those untouchables, think they can resist me by twisting into a rope?"

"Donnie, let me ask you, as a Duke, what should we do when encountering such a thing?"

"To answer my father's words... we should communicate with the leaders of the march, understand their demands, listen to their wishes, and then discuss a result that both parties can accept."

"No." Giovanni shook his head. "This should be taught to you by the Imperial Academy, right? Those people have never really ruled a territory, they have always been idealistic, this method is useless."

So saying, Giovanni taught Donnie with his own philosophy.

"Donnie, I will only tell you this once, and I will only show you once."

"To deal with such low-class people, you don't have to listen to them. Our blood is naturally nobler than theirs. Everything runs according to rules, and the lower class obeys the upper class. If they resist us, it is against the rules."
