After these words fell, a prisoner walked over from the end of the corridor outside El and Gabriel's prison carrying a plate.

There are two large bowls of vegetable porridge on the plate.

As prisoners, the food they can eat every day will naturally not be much better.

It is said that the two of them are able to eat vegetables and porridge now, thanks to the intercession of the civil servants of the "supporting El" faction in the central government.

Otherwise, the two of them would probably only be able to eat something that would only make people half-starved.

After the jailer put the two large bowls of vegetable porridge on the plates into El and Gabriel's cages respectively, he quickly left with the plates.

This bowl of vegetable porridge is today's dinner for El and Gabriel.

Looking at the vegetable porridge in front of him, Gabriel sneered:

"Now I have a psychological shadow about food."

It wasn't until the two of them were tied into the carriage that was transported to Elian Muya that they finally understood why they were so sleepy after drinking the so-called highest quality juice.

This is the first time the two have been drugged.

After experiencing this event that was destined to be unforgettable for both of them in their lives, they couldn't help but become afraid when they saw the food.

But it's useless to be afraid.

If you don't eat these foods, you will starve to death.

God knows how long the two of them will be locked up here.

The two of them sighed in tacit understanding at the same time, then picked up their respective dishes of porridge.

"El."

As soon as El picked up the vegetable porridge, Gabriel across from him suddenly asked El:

"You and I are both in prison now. Why do I always feel that you are not anxious at all?"

"Who says I'm not anxious?" El cast a helpless look at Gabriel, "I'm worried about Camille all the time now... I'm looking forward to Camille who is far away in the Britannia Empire. Nothing happened."

At this point, El paused.

After a while——

"But... apart from worrying about Camille, I'm really not anxious about anything else."

"Now that I'm behind bars, I feel more relaxed."

El smiled at Gabriel.

"I can finally take a break after a long time."

"Gabriel, do you know? Human beings are a kind of creature that once they feel fear or encounter trouble, they can't help but want to rely on other people."

"It is precisely because people can't help but rely on others that the weak, the strong, the stronger, and the strongest are distinguished in this world..."

"The weak can rely on the strong, the strong can rely on the stronger, and the stronger can rely on the strongest."

"Then...who can the strongest person rely on?"

A wry smile appeared on El's face at this time.

"I'm very unfortunate to be this 'strongest' person."

"During the Battle of the Hammer, he was relied upon to lead the troops across the Eghar Mountains."

"While resisting the Britannia Empire's Aurora offensive, they were relied upon to stop Dengar's advance."

"When the Far East front was retreating steadily, it was relied upon to go on an expedition to the grasslands."

"When the Britannia Empire launched a general attack on us, we were relied on to defend against the Britannias..."

“I’ve always been relied upon.”

"Everyone relies on me as a matter of course."

"You deserve to worship me and hope that I will do this or that..."

"I don't even have time to rest."

"I don't even have time to be weak."

"I am being relied upon by everyone, so I can only hold on bravely..."

"Although I understand everyone's dependence on me."

"But... being relied on by everyone like this, I really... feel very tired..."

Speaking of this, El let out a long sigh.

"Except for my talents, I am just like ordinary humans in other places..."

“I don’t even understand what’s going on with my own life.

"

El gave Gabriel a wry smile.

“Looking back at my life so far – it seems like I’ve been drifting my entire life.”

"It's like there's an invisible hand pushing me along."

“Pushing me down paths I had no interest in going.”

“The only thing I’ve ever done in my life is that I worked hard for it.”

"Probably just being friends with Gabriel and Camille, and buying and developing muskets."

After saying that, El let out a long sigh again, as if he was tired.

Then, he took the vegetable porridge in his hands and fed it to his mouth one by one with a spoon...

…

…

The next morning——

The investigation of El and Gabriel had just begun. A shocking news came from the front line, which made the central government have no time to worry about the investigation of El and Gabriel.

The shocking news is that Su Cheng led the Michael Knights to break through their defense line deployed at the border, and the 100,000-strong army suffered a loss of more than 60%.

Regarding this bad news, the monarchs and ministers in the central government were completely unexpected...

Although they transferred El back from the front line, when they transferred El back, they also transferred another marshal to sit on the front line.

This marshal was the former deputy commander of the Southeast Front Army and was promoted to marshal a few years ago.

Although in terms of performance, it is not as brilliant as El.

In terms of ability, he should not be as strong as El.

But he is not incompetent.

The monarchs and ministers of the Holy Xilan Empire thought that even if the combat effectiveness of the frontline was not as good as that of El, it should not be easily defeated by Su Cheng.

However, the cruel facts were in front of everyone.

Su Cheng told the monarchs and ministers of the Holy Xilan Empire with the bloody reality that he did not take any army without El in his eyes.

Commanding the Knights of Michael, who were obviously at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, Su Cheng swept the 100,000 troops deployed by the Holy Xilan Empire on the front line, causing the Holy Xilan Empire's last troops to lose more than 60%.

The monarchs and ministers of the Holy Xilan Empire were in chaos in an instant.

In a hurry, the ministers of the Holy Xilan Empire reached a consensus-release El to put out the fire!

Whether it was the "supporting El" faction or the "anti-El" faction, these two factions of ministers, who should have been at loggerheads, were unprecedentedly united at this moment and reached this consensus.

Even Vasili was frightened by the Britannia Army's front, and regardless of his prejudice against El, he quickly ordered El to be released.

However, when the official with the emperor's order came to the prison, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

El and Gabriel - both dead.

They lay in their respective prisons.

No vomiting of blood, no blackening of the face.

Just lying on the ground with their eyes closed.

If they hadn't stopped breathing, the official who came with the emperor's order to release them would have thought that the two were just asleep.
