Chapter 1391: Gilles and Jeanne's Reunion (Part 1)

Rolin Empire, Tuli, a commercial street.

"Tuli... is not as lively and full of life as before..."

Looking at the sparsely populated street in front of him, Jill couldn't help but sigh softly.

It was two days ago that he was released from prison after receiving Bella's pardon.

After coming out of prison and taking over the command of the last troops of the Rolin Empire, Bal and others actively prepared for the troops to set out.

The baggage was well prepared.

As for supplies, Bal and others don't need to worry.

What Bal and others are most worried about these days is how to defeat the Britannia Army.

The Britannia Army is as high as 150,000, and has never been defeated since the southern expedition, and the morale is high.

But Bal and others only have 70,000 people left, and the morale is low.

Although Bal and others held countless military meetings in the past two days.

But after these countless military meetings, the final results of the meetings are exactly the same-no results.

They had no idea how to defeat the Britannia Empire and save this country on the verge of extinction.

Bal and others were in a heavy mood for the past two days because they could not come up with a suitable war strategy.

Jill was no exception.

Jill hated Queen Bella, the tyrant.

But he hated the Britannia people even more.

He did not want his motherland to perish.

So he could not think of a strategy to save the country, which made Jill very anxious.

In order to relieve the depression in his heart, Jill decided to go to the long-missed streets of Tuli today.

After being imprisoned for two years, he was busy preparing for the troops to move out and planning strategies against the enemy after being released from prison, and he had no time to go out for a walk.

And today he finally had some free time, so Jill decided to take advantage of it and go to Tuli to walk around.

As soon as he got on a commercial street in Tuli, a feeling of sadness involuntarily surged into Jill's heart.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Tuli was no longer as lively and bustling as before - this was an established fact.

The street that Jill walked on was a famous commercial street in Tuli City.

There were a large number of shops on both sides of the street, and there were also a large number of merchants from foreign places and foreign countries doing business on this street.

At this moment, because the Britannia Empire launched a full-scale war against the Rolin Empire and the war was approaching Tuli, there were no merchants from foreign places and foreign countries on this street.

Most of the shops on both sides of the street were also closed.

The pedestrians on the street also became sparse.

Those who could afford to move away from Tuli took the opportunity to move away from Tuli, causing the population in Tuli City to decrease every day.

And those who could afford to move were mostly merchants.

The departure of merchants from Tuli greatly reduced the number of shops in Tuli City.

The significant reduction in the number of shops and the reduction in the number of residents in the city led to a decrease in pedestrians on the street.

The reduction in the number of people on the street caused a sharp drop in the business of the shops that were still open, so they simply closed down.

......

Under such a crazy vicious cycle, this commercial street, which was originally very prosperous and bustling, has become increasingly deserted.

And this commercial street is not an exception.

Almost all the streets in Tuli City are like this, no longer as bustling as before.

Looking at the deserted Tuli, Jill couldn't help but feel particularly sad.

......

......

Jill wandered aimlessly on the streets of Tuli.

He went to the streets this time to relieve the depression in his heart.

But it had the opposite effect...

The deserted streets, the lifeless faces of the citizens, the heavy atmosphere lingering over Tuli City... They all made Jill feel more and more depressed.

——Is there nothing left...

Jill thought to himself.

——Is there no way to repel the Britannia Army...

Jill's naturally hanging fists slowly clenched.

——If... I were Su Cheng...

Jill's head also slowly drooped.

——No...It doesn't matter if I'm not Su Cheng...

——It would be great if there was a genius like Su Cheng in our army...

——It would be great if there was a genius like Su Cheng in our army to lead us to turn the tide...

......

......

"Hey! Are you kidding me? Look carefully! My cheese is of such high quality, how could it be worth so little!"

At this moment, a female voice suddenly attracted the attention of Jill, who was walking with her head down.

The reason why this female voice attracted Jill's attention was not because the voice was so nice or special.

But because...Jill felt that the voice was inexplicably familiar...

Jill stopped and looked in the direction of the voice.

A brown-haired girl was holding a piece of cheese and arguing loudly with a middle-aged man who looked like a merchant.

Because the brown-haired girl had her back to Jill, Jill didn't see the brown-haired girl clearly.

She could only roughly judge from her back that the girl was very young.

After stopping and listening for a while, Jill roughly understood what had happened.

——Trade dispute...

Generally speaking, the brown-haired girl wanted to sell her cheese.

But the price offered by the vendor was too low.

It was far lower than the brown-haired girl expected.

So the two of them quarreled over it.

——That merchant is really not very honest...

Jill thought to himself.

——The price he offered is really unreasonable, he seems to be a profiteer...

From where Jill stood, he could just see the cheese in the hands of the brown-haired girl.

Jill was born aristocrat, and he had seen all kinds of luxurious things, so he naturally had a pair of discerning eyes.

He could see that the cheese in the hands of the brown-haired girl was indeed of good quality.

It was really unreasonable for the vendor to buy it at such a low price.

In Tuli, there are many such vendors.

They specifically bully those who don't understand the market.

——How shameless...

Jill frowned slightly.

——At such an old age, he actually bullied such a little girl...

Jill really couldn't stand such people and such behavior.

Jill hated such shameless people the most.

In Jill's eyes, such shameless people are scum.

Scum who ruin the entire market order.

Since he saw with his own eyes that such scum was harming the ignorant people, Jill would not sit idly by.

So Jill walked over quickly.

And shouted loudly:

"Hey! You shameless guy!"

"It is because there are too many shameless profiteers like you that the reputation of Tuli merchants has been tarnished!"

Jill's shouting scared the profiteer and the brown-law girl.

The two looked at Jill at the sound.

Jill locked his eyes on the profiteer.

Therefore, he did not have time to look at the face of the brown-law girl.
