Chapter 1225 Parisian Women (12)

Severus used the Phantom Slate to harden the flying cloak, so that when bullets hit it, it felt like hitting a stone wall.

"ah!"

Three soldiers were hit by ricocheting bullets, but no one checked on them immediately.

After a salvo, the five soldiers in the first row rushed forward with bayonet guns. The people in the second and third rows began to load bullets. Only then did two people drag the wounded to safety.

place.

These people were not at all panicked and surprised when they saw Severus' magical power. They methodically started to attack Severus from all directions according to their usual training formation.

If you are in the wild, in a strategically deep place, you can set up a formation, but there is no way to do this in a small room. The sound of gunshots here sounded, and the sound of leather boots and horse hooves came from outside the house, which seemed to indicate an omen.

More people surrounded the house, as if everything was an arranged trap.

Severus retreated to the wall so that at least he wouldn't have to worry about facing his enemy.

He raised his wand to make the fire in the room burn even more fiercely. The hot tongues of flames made the soldiers who tried to get closer retreat. By this time, the soldiers in the second row had already loaded the gunpowder.

They did not rush to fire, and some even pointed their guns at the window, which was the only exit other than the door. As long as Severus dared to come close, they would immediately beat him into a sieve.

Severus cast a Disillusionment Charm on himself and disappeared on the spot. The floor beneath the soldiers at the door began to collapse, like quicksand. They then retreated to the side, but this did not mean that they retreated.

.

Before leaving, they threw three grenades in. Although they were made of black powder, if they exploded in such a confined space, they could stun people even if they were not fatal.

There was a loud "coaxing" sound, the grenade exploded, and the dust caused by the explosion rushed out of the room. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been killed long ago.

However, when the smoke and dust dissipated a little and the soldiers at the door looked inside again, there was no one in the intelligence room, and a big hole was opened in the glass of the window by the explosion shock wave.

"Did you just see that? He actually blocked the bullet with his cloak." One soldier said to another soldier.

"He can also control fire, God." The soldier who was asked made a cross on his chest.

"Shall we go in? Captain?"

The soldier who gave the order to fire said nothing.

"Go and wake up the American right away. He has work to do." The corps commander said to a soldier, "You five continue to guard here, and the others follow me!"

After saying this, he held up his musket and took the lead in running wildly through St. Luke's Palace.

==================================================

===============

"He's there!" the Guardsmen who came on horseback said, pointing to a cloud of black mist flying out of the window, while others picked up their muskets and shot into the sky.

Not only because of the range, but also for other reasons, the black mist was not shot down, and he flew through various rooms of St. Luke's Palace with great fanfare.

According to custom, if an assassin appeared, the guards would immediately protect the First Consul, but these soldiers did not do that.

Outsiders were flying around the Palace of St. Luke like headless flies. He probably didn't know the location of the First Consul. They ran to protect Napoleon but exposed their target.

The originally sleeping military camp woke up, and some soldiers who had just taken off their clothes and were about to go to bed ran out in a panic. Emergency gatherings were already commonplace for them. They quickly formed their teams, forming columns and horizontal formations, using the palace garden as a training ground.

field.

These soldiers on the ground do not currently pose a threat to Severus, but the sentries on the rooftops and hidden in the sky are. They are equipped with two or three muskets. If one shot fails, they will immediately replace it with another. Once he is hit,

It will fall to the ground and be captured by the whole team of soldiers.

Sometimes, even if there is no leader, people still know what they should do.

Faced with this situation, ordinary assassins or thieves would have left long ago to find another opportunity, but Severus still took the risk and continued to look everywhere.

For men, there will always be some battlefields that they cannot retreat from, but they will also be timid, hesitant, and hesitant. At this time, women need to push them and let them face it bravely, even if they are not for purple.

It doesn't matter if you fight with your clothes on.

If her husband dies in battle, the woman will raise her son, tell him the reason why she lost his father, and then let him choose whether to avenge his father or forgive his enemy.

No matter which path is taken, it is actually difficult, but isn't it difficult for a widow to take care of her children alone? What's more, Josephine takes care of two.

Men who are compassionate will see her difficulties, but the French do not help others for free. They will ask for some benefits. There is no free lunch in this world.

Besides her beautiful body, what else could Josephine have as compensation?

Even if she doesn't want to do that, it's impossible to make money through labor. Those revolutionaries are not necessarily very decent. They embezzle national assets and spend money on mistresses. They will not let a beautiful woman work in the factory.

Hard work.

They will "rescue" her, dress her in beautiful clothes, and let her live in a luxurious house. If she refuses to agree, she will encounter all kinds of difficulties.

Beauty is a sin. It is not for self-indulgence in the mirror during peacetime. During war, women will paint their faces to make themselves look disgraced and unappetizing. But if you are so beautiful, even painting your face can’t stop it.

What to do with that kind of beauty?

In such a big era, everyone has various kinds of things they can't help themselves with.

It takes courage to fight against the times, and it also takes courage to adapt to the times and give up something in order to survive.

A hero saving a beauty does not necessarily have to involve a scene of gunfire and bullets. It may also involve taking a widow with a child to the city hall to get married regardless of other people's opinions.

From then on, she had someone to rely on, but she didn't become his support.

In addition to the fear of survival, love can also stimulate a person's potential and do things he would never dream of doing.

There is a kind of romance in the smoke-filled battlefield that is different from a candlelight dinner.

After all, the guards were still Frenchmen who loved romance. They noticed that the flying monster was unwilling to leave for a long time.

He doesn't do it for information, nor does he do it for wealth. Apart from these, the only thing left in the palace is to find people.

The First Consul had a new mistress, and many people knew about it. Of course, the "monster" might also be seeking revenge, but this was France, and their first thought was in the direction of a romantic affair.

I don’t know why they were so happy, as if it was something worth cheering for the First Consul to be provoked and his life safety threatened. They shouted and booed one by one, barely leading the way for the intruder.

The French are not as rigorous as the Germans, and they can't get out of a neat formation casually, but their imagination and creativity are super strong. In such a short time, these soldiers made up different versions of a story, a

It's more exciting than an opera.

They shouted at Severus in French that he didn't understand, which would cause bursts of laughter from time to time. Even if you didn't understand, you could guess that what these veterans said was probably not good.

What had turned out to be a night raid turned into a free show for the Legion. After searching for a while, Severus stopped and continued to fly around aimlessly.

He landed on an empty rooftop, pointed his wand at himself, and cast a magnifying spell.

"Energizer, where are you?"

The sound was very loud, almost like shouting from a loudspeaker more than 200 years later. This shocked many soldiers because the technology at that time had not yet reached that level.

No one answered him, as if she wasn't here.

Severus was about to shout again when a tall and thin figure appeared on the roof like a phantom.

He was wearing a cheap cotton coat and a pair of unwaxed boots. He had no jewelry or lace. He looked very simple, just like a worker.

"It's time for you to go." The tall and thin man said in English with an American accent.

"Are you kind enough to remind me?" Severus asked.

"I want to catch you myself. If you are caught here, someone will compete with me for credit." The tall and thin man sneered and said, "Napoleon prefers the French."

"How do you know you can catch me?" Severus said slowly.

"I captured your wife. She has lost her magic power now and is no different from an ordinary woman. I think Napoleon should be enjoying her now."

Severus' eyes widened and his breathing became rapid.

"He is a dead man." Severus suppressed his anger. "All of you are dead!"

"It seems that you still don't understand what this world is. Didn't the living dead tell you?" the tall and thin man asked.

"This was Napoleon's dream. I should have known that asking the French to borrow troops was a stupid idea." Severus said with great regret.

"Dreams will affect reality, and reality will also affect dreams. Let me tell you one thing, you'd better not disapparate in this world, otherwise you will disappear directly and never appear again." The tall and thin man gestured to Severus.

Si looked behind him and said, "They are here, you should go."

"I can destroy this place."

"Use your brain, wizard, is your wife's body here?" the tall and thin man said, "Her body still completely belongs to you."

"What?"

"You can understand that her spirit betrayed you."

"You seem to know a lot of things," Severus said.

"I just like the feeling of being able to hunt down you wizards at will. Don't let the fun end so early, okay?" The tall and thin man begged, "Please leave quickly."

Severus glanced at the soldiers who climbed to the top of the building, their eyes filled with greedy evil.

"May I have your name?"

"Evan Salem, what about you?" the tall and thin man asked.

Severus ignored him and turned into black smoke and rose into the sky, shooting straight into the sky like a black arrow.

"What a rude guy." Alvin Salem said disgustedly.
