Chapter 832: Chapter 56: Continuing the War

"Miss Nia, please take good care of Mr. Losa. If you need anything, just let us know."

"Rest assured."

"Miss Nia is a top Decree genius of our Wolf Race. Even the Church’s Holy Professionals may not match her in healing. Rest easy."

Valentina cast a meaningful glance at the unconscious man on the bed. She was absolutely sure that his condition was not as bad as it appeared.

"Is the lord alright?"

"Nothing serious, just too much Holy Light in the body. But he’s not a dark creature and has high resistance to flames. Once the Holy Light is removed, he’ll recover quickly."

"Sorry to make you worry. I’m fine. Let’s go to the Hall of Wolves. Although you can’t stay long, this is your family’s place. You can say things that I can’t."

Losa smiled and sat up from the bed, "After all, we are not Texans. It’s enough to give some suggestions. More than that, and it would just be annoying."

He was always self-aware, never using the "without me, there’d be no Texas" mentality to treat Juliano as a subordinate.

"Nia should understand how I feel, right?"

"Yes,"

Texas is a big government. Wolf Castle has strict control over localities. Officials from various places have to report back every six months, and people are sent for secret visits and inspections.

It’s rare for human officials to be so responsible. Neighboring Mexico treats the bottom-level populace purely as production tools. Upper-level officials are all British and French agents, with key industries infiltrated by British and French forces. Due to these countries dumping goods, local industries simply cannot develop.

Old Wolf Race, accustomed to being superior, would never willingly accept such a system, right?

When the team rapidly expands, a lot of sand gets mixed in. With these toxins added, Texas is truly in danger of falling, or, at the very least, changing into something that is no longer the Ideal State in Lavinia’s heart.

Is centralization good?

Objectively speaking, compared to this era of the law of the jungle, it is good for concentrating power to accomplish major tasks.

But viewed from a Middle Ages perspective, it has mixed blessings. If Losa himself is a vassal, then for him, it’s more downsides than not.

To put it bluntly, what has the Apennine Peninsula become under Wolf Race rule?

Ordinary people walking on the streets have to fear getting hit by stray bullets from family feuds.

A commotion suddenly arose outside the door.

"Sorry to disturb you, sir. Someone from the Saluzzo Family insists on seeing you, saying he was once your corner head."

"Losa, it really is you!"

"Elmer!"

Losa looked at him with a smile. This guy was his good "partner" back when he was with the Saluzzo Family. At that time, he was assigned as a Three-star Attendant, and now Elmer Truval seems to have significantly improved in strength.

"You’re not dead?"

"Yeah, you know about faking death, right?"

" "

...

"Losa, are you alright."

During the conversation, a somewhat weak voice sounded outside the door.

She took a deep breath, "Such strong Holy Light, I thought you’d switched to being a Holy Knight."

"Knig... Knight..." Elmer’s tongue was about to tie in knots. He thought his current strength could make Losa see him in a new light.

But this... A Legendary Knight of Radiance calls his boss "lord"? This world is indeed too magical.

"Alright, you all can leave. Let the professionals handle the professional matters."

Jeanne began to clear the room. In matters of Holy Light, no one was more professional than her.

"Elmer, let’s talk after I recover."

"No, it’s fine. You just focus on recovering. I’ll be by the young lady’s side. You can find me anytime."

The newly appointed Centurion, Elmer, almost ran away.

After clearing the room, a fiery body burrowed into Losa’s arms.

"What are you doing?"

"They haven’t gone far." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Her body was burning hot, and she reached a hand to undress Losa, with two blushes rising on her pale cheeks.

"Shh—keep it down. The room is all gold and shiny now. They can’t sense anything."

"Aren’t you supposed to heal me?"

"Not only am I healing you, but also myself. I’ve used too much Holy Light, give me yours."

Her tone was somewhat domineering. After all, the Holy Light served Losa no real purpose.

"In this way?"

"What else?"

In the garden outside, Chelina sighed softly, "Watching the lord charge at the front, yet we can’t help at all."

Her tone was full of self-blame, "Burned by the Holy Flame, they must be in real pain now."

But Lavinia’s expression was somewhat strange. She mumbled something to herself, and seeing Chelina’s puzzled look, quickly said, "Let’s head to the Hall of Wolves quickly, next time in battle, I’ll give you priority buff."

"No need... Hey, why are you pushing me?"

Elmer had already run far by then, he

...

On the London.

"They’re just a bunch of useless people. Before the war, that self-proclaimed American Napoleon, Porfirio, swore he’d water horses in the Brazos River and meet us in New Basilicata. Yet in less than two days, he’s been completely wiped out!"

Colonel Brown was raging in his own command room.

Admiral George, however, who also received the news, casually sipped his coffee.

"Admiral, you don’t seem at all surprised by this outcome."

Indeed, dragging the Mexicans into the fray was essentially to deplete some of Texas’ strength. Did they really expect a bunch of American semi-native troops to beat an adversary even we couldn’t defeat?

Admiral George sighed, "However, Texas’ demonstrated power is truly astonishing. I wonder if the politicians in London still have the resolve to keep fighting."

To compete with the French, the weapons they sold to the Mexicans were cutting-edge products. In terms of weapons and equipment, the Mexicans weren’t any worse than the Empire’s second-line troops.

Although reinforcements could be sent from the homeland, they could only be temporarily summoned second-line troops, since only the remaining tens of thousands of standing armies were available. Compared to the Mexicans, they wouldn’t be significantly stronger.

"It will continue."

Colonel Brown hesitated a bit but decided to share the information he had from his father.

"Our prior defeats have already ruined the Empire’s international reputation. Worse, the long-dormant independence sentiment in the North American Colonies has resurfaced."

Colonel Brown said gravely, "I’ve received word that large-scale demonstrations and protests have started on the streets of London. If we fail to turn the tide in the war..."
