"Charles." Barr continued, "you should know what nicknames I have had in recent years in addition to being called the 'strongest General of the empire' in China?"

After hearing Barr's words, Charles was silent.

Charles closed his lips, lowered his head slightly and stopped talking.

While Charles was silent, Barr sneered at himself twice, and then continued in a flat tone, almost without any emotional color:

"It's really ironic... In recent years, while I have been respected as the 'strongest general', I have also been called 'waste general' and 'often defeated general'."

"But I don't blame them for giving me these nicknames."

"After all, sometimes I think I'm a waste... I've been defeated repeatedly in front of Albert..."

"Albert, he became the head of the Rachel knights and was fully responsible for the southern defense line of the British Empire. I remember it was nearly 8 years ago."

"Eight years ago, Albert was 38 and I was 60."

"My nightmare has come since Albert took full charge of the southern defense line of the British Empire eight years ago..."

Speaking of this, Barna had already clenched his fists more tightly.

Looking at the white bony joints on Barr's fists and the broken tendons, no one will be surprised to see Barr's fists grasping and bleeding because of too hard grip in the next second.

And Barr's expression gradually became ferocious.

A little pain gradually appeared on his face.

"Eight years ago, when Albert took office as the head of the new Rachel knights, it was just when the British Empire focused on dealing with the Frankish Empire and our Lorraine empire."

"The britannian Empire focused on the strategy of our Lorraine empire."

"In the eight years since Albert took office, excluding this' summer wind 'offensive and the last' spring wake up 'offensive, the British Empire has launched five large-scale offensives against us."

"These five large-scale offensives, without exception, were all led by Albert."

"In retrospect, I'm still sweating."

After that, Barr pointed to his forehead with a bitter smile and motioned Charles to see his forehead.

And Charles immediately moved his eyes to Barr's forehead.

——As Barr said, Barr sitting by the campfire burst out a series of cold sweat on his forehead.

Barr then continued:

"As one of the top generals in our Lorraine Empire, I am naturally entrusted with important tasks every time in the five large-scale offensives commanded by Albert."

"In the five large-scale offensives directed by Albert, I have played against him more than ten times."

"Although I don't want to admit it, there are people in the world who are more talented and do better than you..."

Speaking of this, Barr sighed, and the color of pain on his face increased a bit.

"In these ten battles against Albert, I haven't won Albert once..."

"I tried my best, but I was defeated again and again in front of Albert..."

"I'm really unwilling... There's no way to take a man who is almost half my age. I can only lose, lose and lose in the face of him..."

"Let alone the domestic people think I'm a waste general... I think I'm really a waste..."

"In the five large-scale attacks commanded by Albert, I was entrusted with important tasks every time, but every time I was beaten by Albert, he threw down his armor and did not achieve any results..."

"The worst time was the third large-scale attack on our country launched by the British Empire."

"In this battle, like the one before me, I was appointed commander-in-chief of the whole army, responsible for going north to meet the enemy and stop Albert's aggression."

"What was the result of that battle, I think Charles... No, I think all the generals know?"

"I was defeated again... 120000 troops were almost wiped out. Only I fled in a hurry with a few cavalry and luckily picked up one life..."

"Because of my waste performance, in the five large-scale attacks commanded by Albert, our empire lost all the territory north of the Northern Line of defense."

"In so many duels between Albert and me, the only battle that can be seen in the past is probably the fifth large-scale attack of the British Empire."

"Before the British Empire launched this attack, the British Empire had hit the Northern Line of our Lorraine empire."

"In this battle, I successfully blocked Albert's attack with the geographical advantage of the northern defense line."

"This is the only defeat in the five large-scale attacks commanded by Albert, and it is also the only battle to defeat Albert in the more than ten duels between me and Albert."

"It's just... I had too much luck in my only victory over Albert, and I reluctantly won Albert by relying on the geographical advantage of the northern defense line. Although Albert was defeated at that time, the loss was not great, so I'm embarrassed to show off this battle..."

"Albert... What a terrible opponent..."

Speaking of this, Barr took back his warm hands placed above the campfire and pressed his elbows on his legs.

Baltar's originally straight body came down late, as if there was no bone on his back, and the posture of his whole body showed a look of mental weakness.

"Albert, he's almost my nightmare now..."

"I have just suddenly recalled the dozen duels with Albert, and my body trembled with fear."

"I can only suppress my fear through my habit of reducing pressure and relaxing my emotions by 'warming my hands with fire..."

"Did I just tell you? In Albert's third large-scale attack, I was beaten so that I could only run away with a few cavalry. "

"After successfully escaping to a safe place with these cavalry, I looked at the soldiers with only a few people around me, and then thought of the 120000 army that had gone up in smoke. At that time, I painfully wanted to commit suicide..."

"I remember clearly that it was the seventh time I lost to Albert in a row."

"I pulled out my sword and put it around my neck."

"It's just -- after putting the sword around my neck and cutting my neck, I stopped again and didn't want to die."

After that, Barr put on a smile with some self mockery on his face, raised his head and pointed to his left neck.

Sitting next to Barr, Charles looked in the direction of Barr's fingers and found a wound cut with a sharp tool and then closed on Barr's left neck.

As Barr's good friend, Charles naturally knows Barr's scar and that Barr wants to commit suicide, but he doesn't commit suicide in the end.

However, he didn't know and was embarrassed to ask Barr why he didn't commit suicide at that time.

So, Charles, he said in a half joking tone:

"I know you wanted to commit suicide but didn't want to commit suicide halfway. Didn't you stop suicide because you suddenly thought that there were many beautiful things in your life that haven't been tried yet?"

"It's not because of such a boring thing that I stopped suicide."

After patting Charles on the shoulder, Barr said in a somewhat melancholy tone:

"I chose to remove the sword that was about to cut my main artery because I realized that I still had a mission."

"Mission?" Sharge strange way.

"Well, yes, it's the mission."

The pain and melancholy on Barr's face gradually dissipated.

A faint smile gradually hung on his face.

"At that time, after putting the sword on my neck and cutting a hole in my neck, I suddenly remembered that I had a big quarrel with my father when I was young, and then decided to join the army, as well as my original intention to join the army..."

"When I was young, my father always wanted me to inherit the family property, but I refused because I wanted to join the army. I wanted to use my sword to protect all the people of the motherland from any foreign enemies. So when I chose to join the army, I had a big quarrel with my father because of his different ideas. "

"This is my original intention to join the army, not to obtain how high a position or how high a honor, but only to block the foreign enemy in front of the people."

"At that moment, I remembered my original intention to join the army, and there were many ordinary citizens who needed my protection behind me."

"So I put down the sword that I was going to commit suicide."

"As I lay down my sword, I swore to my soul."

Barr clenched his right fist again, and then slowly raised it in front of him.

His eyes looked straight at the right fist clenched in front of him. His eyes, which were originally full of pain and melancholy, gradually lit up a bright brilliance and high spirited flame called "fighting spirit".

"Even if my talent and talent are not as good as Albert, I will firmly stand in front of Albert again and again!"

"Even in the duel with Albert, I will lose again and again, but I will lose again and again!"

"I will not cowardly choose suicide to escape, nor will I choose to give up. As long as I have one breath, I will not allow Albert and his gang of aggressors to ravage our country's people and land!"

"I'm a general of the Lorraine empire! As long as I can wave my sword, I will wave my sword again and again for those who can't! "

"As long as I think there are countless civilians behind me, I will be as powerful as a spring! At the thought of this, no matter how scared I am of Albert, I will gush out the courage and strength to face him and defeat him! "

"Charles."

Barr took his eyes away from the clenched right fist in front of him, moved to shire's face next to him, looked directly at shire, and then said in a positive way:

"Even if I have been defeated miserably by Albert, I will not admit defeat and give in. Even if I lose to Albert 99 times, I will not give in. I will still rack my brains and find a way to beat Albert 100 times. "

Speaking of this, the corners of Barr's mouth suddenly turned up slightly, showing a thought-provoking smile.

"Now, the first stage of the headless snake battle I designed has ended successfully. Albert has joined up with his vanguard and is coming towards me."

Barr suddenly held out a hand to Charles, and the smile on his face was a little more confident.

"Charles, this time in the 'headless snake battle', let's let Albert taste it and see what it feels like to be killed by the people who had been beaten!"

After hearing Barr's words full of momentum and confidence, Charles was stunned.

Then, Charles burst out a series of hearty laughter. After drinking "good", he stretched out his hand and held it tightly with balthar's extended hand.
