Alien Empire Total War

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of a small building with a yard surrounded by walls. The driver who was driving the carriage then knocked on the wooden door and said cautiously.

"General, here we are."

Charlie responded and gently woke Sophia, who was sleeping in his arms. The girl opened her eyes dazedly, looked at him sleepily, opened her mouth, and asked, "Mr. Charlie, are we there yet?"

"It's here, get off the bus, the agent is still waiting." Charlie rubbed her hair and walked out of the warm carriage with his arms around her. They had just walked out, and the cold wind was blowing into the space between the clothes and the skin. The gap, people couldn't help but shiver.

In front of the courtyard gate, the agent in a black trench coat was already waiting respectfully. When he saw the girl who came out with Charlie, he was obviously stunned, and his eyes flashed with consideration.

"General Cross, my name is Jasper Cowles, and it's a pleasure to serve you."

Charlie held Sophia's hand wearing a long white velvet glove and stood on the gravel-paved street again. He glanced at the smiling real estate agent, nodded, and said, "Mr. Cowles, if you don't have any extra words, you will be fine. Having said that, please show us a tour and introduce this house."

"It's my honor, please." After Cowles finished speaking, he straightened up, made a gesture of please, and then led Charlie and the two through the wide open courtyard door and walked in.

The area of ​​the yard is not large. A sheep intestine path covered with pebbles and gravel starts from the courtyard gate, bypasses the circular pool in the center of the courtyard, and connects to the white three-story building. There are lawns planted with various plants on both sides of the trail. Because it is a cold winter, there are only bare branches left, which do not look beautiful.

Walking into the courtyard, the intermediary introduced Charlie and the two:

"This property was the property of a wealthy businessman before the war. After the outbreak of the civil war, he took most of his assets and fled to settle abroad. After the city of Prodon was recovered, we bought this property from the wealthy businessman, so You don’t have to worry about disputes when you buy a property.”

"As you can see, this property is located on the prosperous Alex Street, and the Opera Vereesa is at the other end of the street, and you and this beautiful lady can go to the Opera House every day to enjoy the beautiful songs. and theatrical performances.”

Charlie nodded. The reason why he brought Sophia here is because the biggest opera house in the city is not far from here, so it is convenient for her to go to the opera house to relieve her worries.

Thinking of this, he tilted his head and glanced at Sophia beside him, and found that the latter was just looking at him. He paused and asked, "Do you like it here?"

"like."

Sophia Bingxue is smart, why didn't she know why Charlie brought her here, she nodded happily and replied.

"Then we'll live here in the future." Charlie said, the pronoun he used here was us, which made the little girl happy again.

Cowles, who was leading the way, listened to the conversation between them without saying a word. Seeing that the general who was in the limelight decided to buy this place just because of the girl's words, he was slightly shocked, but he was still in time. "You won't regret your decision to buy this property, and if you're happy with it, we can sign the deed now," he said.

Charlie didn't answer right away, he glanced behind him, motioned for the guards who were following to come over, and then whispered a few words to the guards before turning to the real estate agent and saying, "Don't worry, you continue to bring Let's hang out and my chief of staff will be here soon."

"Of course, as you wish."

Cowles, who was able to make a list, was very happy. His attitude towards Charlie became more attentive. At the same time, he took a few more glances at the little girl beside Charlie. Some people brag when they drink.

After Cowles and Charlie walked out of the third floor, Chief of Staff Baldwin had already arrived. The aloof officer dressed as a general had no objection to serving as Charlie's secretary at all. Circled the contract prepared by Cowles, signed his name after confirming that there was no problem, and handed the check that had already been prepared to Cowles.

After the contract is signed, it only needs to be notarized by the City Hall, and the property on Alex Street will be officially changed to Charlie's name. It is the first private property that Charlie really owns.

Although this place is not comparable to the home in the Ankerton noble district in terms of scale and luxury, Sophia's eyes are still full of joy when she looks at the white mansion.

She knew that it was a right decision to bring only one maid to this strange south. If she really followed her brother's instructions and returned to the family fief with her mother, she didn't know when she would be able to see the knight in her heart again. .

Thinking of this, she couldn't help looking at Charlie with expectant eyes, but found that the other party was also looking at her, she quickly retracted her gaze, and the deer in her chest collided.

Seeing her shy look, Charlie chuckled lightly. Just as he was about to speak, a guard behind him suddenly came over and whispered a few words to him. After listening to the guard's words~www.readwn.com~ Charlie nodded calmly and motioned for the other party to step back. Sophia took this scene into her eyes. Although she was reluctant, she still said:

"Mr. Charlie, if you have any business, go first. Martha and I will stay to clean up."

Seeing Sophia being so sensible, a look of satisfaction flashed in Charlie's eyes. He didn't want to find a arrogant young lady. If Sophia was that kind of person, he had no choice but to keep away from her.

"Okay, I'll go back to the city hall first, and there will be new servants coming, remember to arrange it." He instructed softly, raised his hand and rubbed Sophia's hair again, turned to leave the yard, and sat down again. The carriage returns to City Hall.

……

Inside the City Hall Chamber.

Looking at the assembled generals, Charlie sat on the main seat with a blank expression, and in front of him stood a piece of information sent from Ankerton City.

After everyone was seated, Charlie opened his mouth and said solemnly:

"I believe some of you should already know that a noble rebellion broke out in the province of Yusen (the adjacent province in the west of the Ankerton region). The private army of the local nobles and the bought local army occupied the capital of Yusen province. Through the city, publicly rebuked Ankerton's National Assembly, saying that it would welcome the abdicated royal family back home and restore the monarchy."

"On January 14th, the National Assembly declared martial law in the entire Ankerton region. The Santos party took the opportunity to angrily denounce the nobles as the cancer of the republic. I think a bigger storm will soon sweep across the country again, and the nobles will not tolerate Santos. Party oppression, we must prepare for war."

When the words fell, he stood up abruptly and said:

"In the name of Lieutenant General of the Fourth Army, I declare that the entire army is in a state of readiness!"

"Follow your orders, General!"

The crowd responded in unison.
